Flights from London to Mumbai
Mumbai greets you from the north: Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport sits among the suburbs, with the old city and the sea front a long way south down the peninsula. The route links the United Kingdom with India's financial and film capital, and the traveller mix shows it: bankers and lawyers, families visiting Maharashtra, students, and holidaymakers heading on to Goa or the Konkan coast. Heathrow is the default departure, with Gatwick, Stansted, Luton, London City and Southend in the search form as alternatives, and the arrival can also show Navi Mumbai International Airport.

About this route
From London the choice is which airport, and the answer depends on where you live. Heathrow in the west is the default; Gatwick in the south, Stansted and Luton in the north and London City in the east are the others, and the form lets you switch. Decide on a single or a return at the same time, and on the number of passengers. Mumbai's default arrival is BOM, in the northern suburbs. Results may also show NMI, the newer airport across the harbour at Navi Mumbai; it is further from the island city, so check before you book. The hotels on this page spread from the airport area down towards the centre; for the Gateway of India, Colaba and Marine Drive you are at the bottom of the peninsula, and the drive from the airport is long in traffic. Expect a large time difference, and heavy rain in the monsoon months. Book a hotel and a transfer with the flight on AI Concierge, and check the entry rules for your passport before you travel.
