Looking for cheap flights from Aurangabad to Muscat?

Both Mumbai (BOM) and Hyderabad (HYD) offer onward connections to Muscat, but the routing logic differs. Via BOM, Air India and IndiGo provide frequent IXU–BOM sectors (≈ 1h 10m), and Oman Air operates a BOM–MCT non-stop (≈ 3h). Via HYD, IndiGo handles the IXU–HYD link (≈ 1h 20m), connecting to IndiGo or Air Arabia for HYD–MCT (≈ 2h 45m). Hyderabad frequently delivers lower fares to Muscat because it is a major Oman-corridor hub for south-central India. Mumbai suits those who need a longer Muscat arrival window or want Oman Air's full-service product. Check total layover times: anything under 90 minutes at BOM is risky; 2 hours is safer.
Muscat International Airport's new terminal (opened 2018) is a striking structure with ample wayfinding in English. Indian arrivals clear immigration at electronic e-gate kiosks (if pre-enrolled) or staffed counters. The eVisa issued online appears in the Oman immigration database, so no paper printout is strictly required — but carrying one is advisable. Baggage carousels are landside after immigration; the terminal has a currency exchange desk (rates are fair), a Marhaba lounge accessible to eligible cards, and ground transport options including metered Mwasalat taxis (OMR 8–15 to central Muscat) and app-based Oman Taxi.
As of June 2026, combined one-way fares from Aurangabad to Muscat range from roughly ₹12,000 to ₹22,000 economy in low season, depending on advance booking and whether the IXU domestic segment is bundled. Fares climb steeply around Eid al-Adha, Eid al-Fitr and the post-Diwali travel window (November). The Oman segment often runs cheaper than Dubai or Abu Dhabi equivalents because Muscat has less leisure demand relative to the Gulf's tourist hotspots. Booking the IXU–BOM and BOM–MCT legs together via a single search site helps ensure minimum connection time compliance and may reduce total fare.
The critical baggage question on a multi-carrier booking is whether the international rule applies to both legs or only the Oman sector. When booked on a single Air India through-fare, passengers get ≈ 23 kg on the domestic segment under the international baggage rule. Oman Air economy includes 23 kg; Business class 32 kg. Air Arabia's base fares on HYD–MCT typically include 20 kg. IndiGo domestic (IXU–HYD) carries 15 kg as standard; a 5 kg add-on costs ≈ ₹600–₹900 online. Excess baggage at IXU airport is charged at ≈ ₹500–₹800 per kg. As of June 2026, always prepay add-on bags online — airport charges are substantially higher.
Indian citizens must obtain an Oman eVisa before travel — the airline checks visa status at IXU check-in. Apply at the Royal Oman Police (ROP) e-visa portal: fees are ≈ OMR 20 (roughly ₹4,300) for a standard 30-day tourist visa, with an optional multi-entry variant at OMR 50. Processing time is typically 48–72 hours, though the system can be slower around Ramadan. A valid eVisa number is usually all that's required at Muscat immigration — the record links to your passport number. For current fee schedules and any scheme changes, check /visas before applying; Oman periodically adjusts categories and fees. Yellow fever vaccination proof is required if arriving from an endemic country.
Aurangabad Airport (IXU) sits ≈ 10 km from the city centre, accessible by app-based taxis (Ola, Uber) and autorickshaws (≈ ₹200–₹350 to Cidco or the railway station). The terminal handles a modest 4–6 domestic departures daily, predominantly to Mumbai and Hyderabad. Check-in opens ≈ 2 hours before departure; the airport has one restaurant and basic retail airside, so arrive no earlier than necessary. Passengers connecting to international flights should book their IXU domestic ticket to give at least a 3-hour layover at BOM or HYD — domestic arrivals and international departures involve a full security and emigration cycle.
Muscat's peak season is October to April, when temperatures are a pleasant 22–32 °C, ideal for exploring the Sultan Qaboos Grand Mosque, the Muttrah Souq and the Al Hajar mountains. The Khareef (monsoon) season in the nearby Salalah region (July–September) draws Omani and Indian tourists to the greened highlands — a flight to Muscat followed by a domestic connection to Salalah is a popular itinerary. Summers in Muscat are intense (38–45 °C, June–August), though prices drop markedly. Ramadan is a culturally enriching time to visit but requires sensitivity around public eating and drinking; office hours compress and many restaurants open only after Iftar.
No — as of 2026, no non-stop IXU–MCT service exists. All Aurangabad–Muscat journeys connect at Mumbai (BOM) or Hyderabad (HYD), adding 1–3 hours depending on the layover schedule.
Total travel time is typically 5–8 hours including the IXU domestic segment (≈ 1h 10m to BOM, ≈ 1h 20m to HYD) and the Gulf sector (≈ 3h BOM–MCT, ≈ 2h 45m HYD–MCT) plus layover.
Common combinations include IndiGo (IXU–HYD) connecting to IndiGo or Air Arabia (HYD–MCT), or Air India/IndiGo for IXU–BOM connecting to Oman Air or Air Arabia (BOM–MCT).
Combined economy fares as of June 2026 range from roughly ₹12,000 to ₹22,000 one-way in low season; peak Eid and November periods push fares significantly higher.
Yes — Indian passport holders need an Oman eVisa (applied online at the ROP portal) costing ≈ OMR 20 (~₹4,300) for a 30-day tourist visa. Airlines verify visa status at check-in. See /visas.
Muscat weather is most comfortable October–April (22–32 °C). For fares, February, June and September tend to be the cheapest, away from Eid and the Diwali–New Year peak travel window.

There is currently no non-stop service between Aurangabad and Muscat — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h 30m–6h (1-stop via Mumbai or Hyderabad). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent.

Expect Aurangabad–Muscat fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo + Oman Air / Air Arabia ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
