About this route
Mumbai is a natural starting point for Goa, Pune and the rest of western India. We can add a domestic connection to the same booking so your bags are checked through.
Non-stop or one stop?
There is a choice of non-stop flights from Heathrow most days. The return to London is usually around 10 hours.
One-stop journeys via Dubai, Doha or Abu Dhabi are widely available from other UK airports. Ask us whether a non-stop is running from your nearest airport on your dates.
When to fly
November to February is the driest and least humid time in Mumbai. The monsoon, from about June to September, brings very heavy rain that can occasionally disrupt flights and road travel. April and May are hot and sticky.
Good to know
- International flights use Terminal 2 in Mumbai. Road traffic into south Mumbai can be slow at peak times, so plan your onward journey before you land.
- If you are travelling in the monsoon, choose a fare that allows changes. Heavy rain can occasionally close the runway for short periods.
- Business travel fills Monday morning and Friday evening flights, so mid-week dates often have more seats.
Passports and visas
British passport holders need a valid Indian visa, an e-Visa or an OCI card to enter India. Apply for an e-Visa only through the Government of India's official website, never a lookalike, and check the current rules on GOV.UK before you book.
