If weather is an important factor for your trip to Mumbai, use this chart to help with planning. For those seeking warmer temperatures, May is the ideal time of year to visit, when temperatures reach an average of 30.0 C. Travellers hoping to avoid the cold should look outside of January, when temperatures are typically at their lowest (around 24.0 C).
Other than the low season of June to September, you can find cheap flights to Mumbai around March and April if you plan ahead and secure your flight tickets a few months in advance. Regardless of when you are planning on visiting, you should aim to have your flights to Mumbai booked at least three months ahead of time, or more if you can. If you aren’t blocked in by school holidays or set weeks, then being flexible will help you find cheap flight tickets. However, you might have to pass on a particular event or season.

There are many Holy events and stunning festivals that take place throughout India across the year, although the peak season is generally from September to April. This is when the weather is most pleasant for tourists. Late August to early September sees the Ganesh Chaturthi festival. It’s a ten-day Hindu festival which is immensely popular. Holi is a celebration of Indian culture and is held on the full moon during March. The Holi festival is an amazing celebration of colour in a bid for happiness, prosperity and peace to all who are involved. Cheap flights to Mumbai are generally very hard to find leading up to these events, however if you plan ahead you can secure some good deals on your flight tickets.
Off season:
You’ll find the cheapest flights to Mumbai during the monsoon season and during the summer heat. Generally, this is from June through to early September, although as the Ganesh Chaturthi festival begins, you might find flight tickets increase in price towards the middle of August.
Mumbai Airport, or Chhatrapati Shivaji International, is located approximately 28km (17 miles) north of Central Mumbai. It is the city’s main airport and South Asia’s second-busiest airport, serving around 29 million passengers in 2010-2011.
Spread over two suburban areas, namely Santa Cruz and Sahar, Chhatrapati Shivaji International consists of two main terminals and an additional five sub-terminals. Terminal 1, which is reserved for domestic flights, is located on the Santa Cruz side, while Terminal 2 handles international flights and is situated on the Sahar side. Both terminals are separated on the landslide – thus requiring a 15-20 minute transfer between them – but they share the same airside facilities.
Chhatrapati Shivaji International can get hectic at times; however, the completion of a number of renovations in the near future, including the merging of the airport’s two terminals, should see operations smoothing out across the board. For the time-being, expect long queues and a dash of organised chaos, both of which may be compensated for with a duty-free shopping spree or a tasty meal and drinks at one of Chhatrapati Shivaji International’s eateries.
