Dubai To Mumbai Flights @ ₹15573+ Upto ₹2500 OFF

Thinking about Mumbai? Here's what actually matters before you book: flight time, who flies it, which airport you land at, what paperwork you need, and where the real savings are. Fares start from ₹15,573 per person on EaseMyTrip.

How Long is the Dubai to Mumbai Flight?

A direct Dubai–Mumbai flight runs about 3h 0m in the air, covering roughly 1934 km. That number shifts a bit by airline and aircraft — AirArabia usually runs the fastest, around 2h 55m. One thing worth knowing: the clock difference between India and Mumbai on your ticket isn't your actual flight time — check the duration field, not the times. With 119+ flights a day, there's not much reason to book a connection unless a specific fare or a stopover you actually want makes it worth it.

Which Airlines Fly from Dubai to Mumbai?

SpiceJet, Air India Express, Air India, Saudia, AirArabia and 9 more operate this route. The real difference between budget and full-service here isn't always the fare — it's what's included in it. Baggage allowance and layover length move your actual cost more than they do on a domestic booking.

Most people end up comparing all of this on EaseMyTrip instead of checking airline by airline. It's faster to see fares, baggage limits, and reviews side by side than to dig through five different sites.

Dubai and Mumbai Airport Information

You'll fly out of Al Maktoum International Airport (DWC) in Dubai. Land in Mumbai and it's Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) — check your ticket for the terminal, since carriers don't all use the same one.

Do Indian Travelers Need a Visa for Mumbai?

Depending on your passport and travel purpose, you may need a visa, an e-visa, or qualify for visa-on-arrival for Mumbai. Have your documents ready before you apply, as processing times vary. Passport validity doesn't change no matter which route applies to you: keep six months left on it from your travel date, or airlines can deny you boarding at check-in. Entry rules move faster than flight schedules do, so check the official immigration site close to your travel date.

Things to Know Before Booking Dubai to Mumbai Flights

Book 6–8 weeks out, not the week before. That's usually the sweet spot here. November tends to run cheapest overall.
Mind the calendar on both ends. Fares climb around the Indian holiday season, and separately around Mumbai's own peak — local holidays, weather, events. Shift your dates by a few days and you'll usually see it in the price.
Give yourself 3 hours, not 2. International check-in eats more time — immigration, extra security screening. Online check-in usually opens 24 to 48 hours out.
Don't assume domestic baggage rules apply. International fares are more generous, but it swings a lot by airline and fare class, so actually read the fare rules.
Price round trip before you buy one-way. The gap tends to be bigger on international routes than on domestic ones.
Sat flights, plus a code. Sat departures run cheaper on this route. Stack EMTFIRST, EMTNCF, or EASEDAY at checkout on top of that.

Mumbai is India’s financial capital and one of its busiest places to fly in or out of. People come for work, for family, for the film industry, or for a few days of sea air and street food. It also now has two airports, which is a recent change and one that catches a lot of first-time bookers out. Here is what to know before you book.

How Many Airports Does Mumbai Have?

Two, Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is the long-standing one, in the northern suburbs. Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMI) is the newer one, across the creek in Navi Mumbai, and it began commercial operations on 25 December 2025, with IndiGo, Air India Express, Akasa Air and Star Air flying on the first day. Always check the airport code on your ticket. A fare into the wrong one can add a long, expensive drive to your day.

Which Mumbai Airport Should You Choose?

Pick the one closest to where you’re staying or going. BOM is the better fit for most of the island city and the western suburbs, such as Bandra, Juhu, Andheri, Colaba and Fort. NMI makes more sense for Navi Mumbai, Panvel, Kharghar and parts of the eastern side. NMI is about 35 km from the city centre, so for South Mumbai it’s usually the farther choice. If two fares look similar, the transfer time should decide it.

How Do You Get to and from Mumbai Airport?

Traffic is the main thing to plan around. Mumbai roads can slow to a crawl at peak hours, and a short distance on the map can take well over an hour.

• Metro: Metro Line 3 now runs the length of the city from Colaba to Bandra-SEEPZ and serves the airport area. Check which station is closest to your terminal.
• Taxis and app cabs: The easiest option with luggage. Pre-book for early flights, and expect surge pricing in the rain.
• Local trains: Cheap and fast on the Western, Central and Harbour lines, but crowded at peak times and not ideal with big bags.
• Airport buses and shuttles: Useful from some parts of the city and cheaper than a cab.

How Early Should You Reach Mumbai Airport?

For domestic flights, about two hours before departure is a safe rule. For international flights, three hours. In the monsoon, on Friday evenings and around festivals, add extra time. Mumbai traffic can turn a calm drive into a stressful one quickly.

Which Terminal Will You Use?

At BOM, domestic and international flights are split across terminals, and airlines don’t all use the same one. Your ticket will show the terminal, so check it before you leave home. Don’t assume it’s the same as your last trip, because airlines do move between terminals.

What Should You Do in Mumbai?

Start at the waterfront. The Gateway of India and the Taj Mahal Palace sit side by side in Colaba, and Marine Drive is where the city goes for sunset walks. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus is a working railway station and a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and it’s worth a look even if you’re not catching a train. Elephanta Caves, also UNESCO-listed, are a ferry ride away from the Gateway. Further out, Juhu Beach and Bandra’s sea-facing promenades are better for a relaxed evening. Allow a full day for the island city, as the distances are bigger than they look.

What Should You Eat in Mumbai?

Vada pav is the city’s everyday snack, and every neighbourhood has a favourite stall. Pav bhaji, bhel puri and Bombay sandwiches are all worth trying. For something slower, the old Irani cafés in South Mumbai still serve bun maska, chai and keema pav at low prices. Seafood is good in the coastal areas, with Bombay duck, prawn curry and crab on many menus.

Where Can You Shop in Mumbai?

Colaba Causeway is the easy one for souvenirs, clothes and bags, and bargaining is expected. Crawford Market is better for spices, dry fruit and household goods. Linking Road and Hill Road in Bandra suit fashion shoppers, while Chor Bazaar is for antiques and old curiosities. If you only have a few hours, pick one area. Mumbai punishes anyone who tries to cover all of it.

When Is the Best Time to Visit Mumbai?

November to February. The humidity drops, evenings are comfortable and walking around is pleasant. March to May is hot and sticky. The monsoon, June to September, brings heavy rain, waterlogged roads and a real chance of flight delays, though the city looks its best with the sea rough and the hills green. If you travel in the rains, leave a large buffer on the day you fly.

When Are Flights to Mumbai Cheapest?

Usually when you book several weeks ahead and travel midweek. Mumbai is a heavy business route, so Monday mornings and Friday evenings tend to cost more. Fares also climb around Diwali, Christmas and New Year, and during Ganesh Chaturthi in late summer. It helps to compare BOM and NMI for your dates, since one can be cheaper depending on the airline.

Does Rain Affect Flights in Mumbai?

Yes. Heavy monsoon rain can cause delays, diversions and slower roads to the airport. Check your flight status before you leave, and don’t plan a tight connection on a heavy-rain day.

What Happens in Mumbai During Ganesh Chaturthi?

It’s the city’s biggest festival, usually in August or September, with large processions and road closures, especially in the last days when idols are taken to the sea. Traffic to the airport can be slow, and hotels fill up. If your travel dates overlap, book early and give yourself extra time.

Which Railway Stations Serve Mumbai?

The main long-distance stations are Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus (CSMT), Mumbai Central, Dadar, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus (LTT) and Bandra Terminus. If you’re connecting between a train and a flight, leave a comfortable gap, as delays are common, especially in the monsoon.
