Flights to Mumbai, India

Mumbai, once known as Bombay, is India's financial capital and its most cosmopolitan city, stretched along a peninsula on the Arabian Sea. It is the home of Bollywood, grand colonial architecture, seaside promenades and some of the country's best street food. Singaporeans fly here for business, weddings and family visits, and for trips that continue to Goa, Pune or the rest of Maharashtra. When you compare flights to Mumbai on Traveloka, you can see direct and connecting departures from Changi together, check fares across your dates and book in a few steps.

About Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM)

Location

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport is in the northern suburbs of Mumbai, between Santacruz, Vile Parle and Andheri. It is one of the busiest airports in India and handles both international and domestic traffic. The airport's location in the suburbs puts it close to Bandra, Juhu and the business district of Bandra Kurla Complex, while South Mumbai is further away across the city.

Terminals

The airport has two terminals. Terminal 2, on the Sahar side, is a striking modern building that handles all international flights, including those from Singapore, as well as many domestic flights. Terminal 1, on the Santacruz side, is used for domestic services only. If you are connecting to a domestic flight, check which terminal it leaves from; the two terminals are on opposite sides of the airfield and transfer between them is by road, so give yourself enough time.

Getting to and from Mumbai Airport

Prepaid taxis, app-based cabs and airport taxis are available outside arrivals at both terminals. Mumbai's growing metro network also serves the airport area, which can help you avoid road traffic on longer journeys across the city. Traffic can be heavy, especially towards South Mumbai in the evening peak, so plan your transfer times generously. Many business hotels in Andheri and Bandra Kurla Complex are a short ride away, which is handy for late arrivals. The Mumbai region also has a newer airport at Navi Mumbai, across the harbour, so always check which airport code appears on your ticket.

Direct and Connecting Flights to Mumbai

Mumbai is one of the key routes between Singapore and India, and non-stop options from Changi are usually easy to find. On Traveloka, tick the Direct filter to see only non-stop flights, then compare departure times, such as late-night flights that land in the early hours or daytime flights that arrive by evening. Connecting itineraries via other Indian or regional hubs can also be useful when direct flights on your preferred date are full.

If you plan to travel further within India, consider booking your onward flight on the same itinerary so your bags are checked through. Mumbai has excellent domestic links to cities such as Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Goa, which is why you may also see searches like BOM to MAA for the popular Mumbai to Chennai route.

When to Fly to Mumbai

Mumbai's weather is shaped by the monsoon. From around June to September, heavy rain sweeps the city, bringing dramatic seas and lush greenery but occasional flooding and travel delays. The dry season, from roughly November to February, is the most comfortable time to visit, with warm days and cooler evenings. March to May is hot and humid before the rains return.

Demand from Singapore rises during the June and December school holidays and around Deepavali, when many families travel to India to celebrate. Big festivals in Mumbai, such as Ganesh Chaturthi in late summer, also draw crowds. Use the fare chart on this page to see how prices change through the year, and set a Price Alert so you know when fares move on your chosen dates.

Popular Places in Mumbai

Gateway of India and Colaba

This grand arch on the waterfront in South Mumbai is the city's most famous landmark. Nearby, the lanes of Colaba are full of cafes, street markets and colonial-era buildings, and boats leave from the Gateway for Elephanta Island.

Marine Drive

This curving seafront promenade is where Mumbaikars go to walk, jog and watch the sunset. At night, its street lights earn it the nickname the Queen's Necklace.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, this Victorian Gothic railway station is one of the most impressive buildings in India and still serves millions of commuters. It is especially beautiful when lit up at night.

Elephanta Caves

A short ferry ride from the Gateway of India, Elephanta Island is home to ancient rock-cut temples dedicated to Lord Shiva, including a famous three-headed sculpture.

Bandra and Juhu

In the suburbs, Bandra has seaside promenades, street art, cafes and the Bandstand seafront, while Juhu Beach is a lively spot in the evening, with food stalls and families enjoying the sea breeze.

Where to Stay in Mumbai

South Mumbai, including Colaba, Fort and Churchgate, is ideal for first-time visitors who want to be close to the Gateway of India, Marine Drive and heritage buildings. Bandra is trendy and central, with great restaurants and nightlife. Juhu offers beachside stays close to the airport, while Andheri and the area around the airport are convenient for short trips and early flights. Business travellers often choose Bandra Kurla Complex or Powai, which host many corporate offices.

Food to Try in Mumbai

Vada Pav

Often called Mumbai's burger, vada pav is a spiced potato fritter in a soft bread roll with chutneys and a fried green chilli. It is cheap, filling and sold on almost every street corner.
