Lucknow (LKO) to Mumbai (BOM) is a well-served trunk route with plenty of non-stop choice in 2026. IndiGo runs the most frequent service, joined by Air India, its low-cost arm Air India Express, and Akasa Air. Across these carriers there are roughly a dozen or more non-stop departures spread through the day, so you can usually find a flight to suit an early start, a midday meeting or an evening return.
Aircraft are mostly A320-family jets, with Air India Express and Akasa flying Boeing 737s including the 737 MAX. The healthy competition keeps fares reasonable and gives you real flexibility. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any older listings showing those names as current.
The air distance is about 1,185 km, with the road journey closer to 1,370 km. Non-stops take roughly 2h 5m to 2h 20m gate to gate, depending on the aircraft and winds. With so many direct flights, there is rarely any need to take a connection on this pairing — a connecting itinerary would only make sense for a very specific fare or schedule.
Both cities are on IST, so there is no time difference to plan around. The main thing to confirm is your Mumbai terminal, since BOM splits low-cost and full-service carriers across two terminals.
This is a competitive route, so fares are generally sensible if you book a couple of weeks out. Mumbai's business demand keeps weekday morning and evening peaks busier and pricier. We do not quote specific rupee fares here — they change daily, so always check the live price.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Diwali / festive (Oct–Nov) | High | Strong demand both ways; book early |
| Wedding season (Nov–Feb) | Moderate–High | Weekend fares firm up |
| Monsoon (Jun–Sep) | Lower | Softer fares; allow for Mumbai weather delays |
| Mid-week (Tue/Wed) | Lower | Usually the cheapest days to fly |
On a busy route like this, flexibility pays off. Shift your travel to a midweek day and an off-peak time of day to dodge the business rush. Compare all four carriers — Air India Express and Akasa often undercut on the right date. Set a FlightGPT price alert so you book when the fare dips. If you travel hand-baggage only, choose the matching fare instead of paying for checked allowance. And check the airline's own site against the OTA quote, as direct booking is sometimes cheaper after fees.
With a dozen-plus daily non-stops, you have genuine choice. Early-morning departures from Lucknow land you in Mumbai before the working day starts — ideal for business. Midday flights are usually the cheapest and least congested. Evening departures suit a full day in Lucknow before heading back. During the monsoon, a morning slot is safer because Mumbai afternoon and evening flights are more prone to weather delays. Fog at Lucknow in December and January can slow early-morning departures, so build in a buffer for onward connections.
Business travellers: the frequency is your friend — pick an early non-stop into Mumbai for morning meetings and a late return. The choice of four carriers means you can usually rebook quickly if plans change.
Families: a two-hour non-stop is comfortable. Midday flights are calmer and cheaper; book seats together early. Mumbai's two terminals mean you should confirm which one you arrive at and depart from for return journeys.
Students and budget travellers: compare Air India Express and Akasa against IndiGo on midweek dates for the best value, and travel cabin-only where possible. Booking two to three weeks ahead usually beats last-minute fares.
Lucknow — Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO): domestic flights operate from the new Terminal 3 (T3), opened in 2024, a modern facility about 14 km from the city centre at Amausi. T1 now handles international services. Confirm T3 for your domestic departure.
Mumbai — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM): a two-terminal airport. Low-cost carriers including IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express use Terminal 1, while Air India's full-service flights use Terminal 2. The terminals are some distance apart, so check your ticket and allow time if you need to transfer.
In Lucknow: T3 is around 14 km from the city centre. App cabs, prepaid taxis and city buses serve it; the drive takes roughly 30–45 minutes depending on traffic. Allow extra during peak hours.
In Mumbai: the airport is in Andheri, central to the suburbs but a long haul from South Mumbai in traffic. App cabs and prepaid taxis are the usual choice; the Mumbai Metro's airport-area lines offer a faster option for some routes. Budget generously for travel time — Mumbai traffic is unpredictable, especially in the monsoon.
IndiGo, Air India Express and Akasa typically allow 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag on standard domestic fares, with cheaper hand-baggage-only fares available. Air India's full-service economy allowance is often 25 kg, varying by fare. Always confirm the figure on your ticket, since allowances differ by carrier and fare family. For full current details see the IndiGo baggage guide. On a non-stop there is no connection to worry about — the same allowance applies the whole way.
Lucknow has cold, sometimes foggy winters (December–January) that can delay early flights, hot summers, and a July–September monsoon. Mumbai's monsoon (June–September) is intense and a common cause of delays, so a morning departure is the safer bet in those months. Carry a government photo ID, complete web check-in to skip queues, double-check your Mumbai terminal, and arrive about two hours before a domestic departure.
Because four airlines compete on Lucknow–Mumbai, the cheapest seat moves around daily. Ask FlightGPT to compare IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa side by side for your date, and set a price alert for a midweek departure. One small thing that trips people up: confirm whether you land at Mumbai T1 or T2 before booking your onward cab, because the two terminals are a meaningful drive apart.
Yes — plenty. IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air together run roughly a dozen or more non-stops a day between Lucknow (LKO) and Mumbai (BOM), spread across the day.
The non-stop takes about 2h 5m to 2h 20m gate to gate, depending on aircraft and winds.
IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air all operate non-stops. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Low-cost carriers — IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express — use Terminal 1, while Air India's full-service flights use Terminal 2. Check your ticket, as the terminals are some distance apart.
Domestic flights use the new Terminal 3 (T3), opened in 2024. Terminal 1 now handles international services.
About 1,185 km by air and roughly 1,370 km by road. The non-stop covers it in a little over two hours.
Midweek departures, especially Tuesday and Wednesday at off-peak times, are usually cheapest. With four airlines competing, comparing them all and booking a couple of weeks ahead helps.
Under DGCA rules, an airline-cancelled flight entitles you to a full refund or a free re-booking on an alternative. Short-notice cancellations without an acceptable alternative may carry additional compensation. Passenger-initiated cancellations follow your fare rules.
IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express usually allow 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag; Air India's full-service economy is often 25 kg. Check your ticket and the IndiGo baggage page for exact figures.
Yes. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on all four carriers and is the quickest way to get a boarding pass and pick a seat.
Lucknow can get winter fog in December and January that delays early flights, and Mumbai's June–September monsoon often causes delays. A morning departure is the safer bet during the monsoon.
Air India accepts pets in the cabin and hold on many domestic flights subject to conditions; IndiGo is more restrictive. Confirm with your airline well in advance, as rules and fees vary.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a reduced fare. Carry proof of the infant's age and request a bassinet or bulkhead seat in advance.
Compare both. The airline's own site sometimes prices lower after fees and makes changes simpler. FlightGPT shows both so you can pick the genuinely cheaper option.
Only a valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID. No visa is needed for a domestic flight within India.
