Mumbai (BOM) to Bagdogra (IXB) is a popular non-stop route — Bagdogra is the air gateway to Darjeeling, Sikkim and the Dooars. IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express fly the sector non-stop, with SpiceJet appearing seasonally. Between them you'll typically find around 4–6 non-stops a day, scheduled mostly to land by early afternoon so onward hill transfers can be completed in daylight.
Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations and Vistara has merged into Air India — disregard older listings. Compare current options on FlightGPT routes.
The air distance is about 1,790 km, flown non-stop in roughly 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours. The track runs east-northeast across central India to the foothills of the eastern Himalaya. On a clear approach you may glimpse the Kanchenjunga massif to the north — a right-side window is best on the descent into Bagdogra.
Bagdogra is a tourism-driven route, so fares track the Darjeeling–Sikkim travel calendar. Demand peaks in summer (Apr–Jun) when plains travellers head for the hills, and around the autumn festival and New Year periods. Book ahead for these.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Apr–Jun (hill-station summer) & late Dec | Very high | Dearest — book early |
| Oct–Nov (post-monsoon, clear views) | High | Mid to high |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Often cheapest |
We don't quote a fixed rupee fare — tourist-season routes move fast. Check live prices before booking.
Avoid the summer and New Year peaks if you can; the post-monsoon weeks (late Sep–early Oct) offer clear mountain views at gentler fares. Fly mid-week, book 3–6 weeks ahead, and compare IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express, since the cheapest carrier shifts by date. Set a fare alert on FlightGPT.
Most travellers prefer an early or mid-morning Mumbai departure so they land at Bagdogra by early afternoon — essential if you're driving on to Darjeeling, Gangtok or Kalimpong, as the mountain roads are best tackled in daylight. Late-afternoon arrivals leave little time for the 3–4 hour hill transfer before dark.
Families/leisure: the bulk of traffic — book an early flight and pre-arrange the onward hill transfer. Honeymooners/groups: Sikkim and Darjeeling are popular, so summer fares climb early; lock in ahead. Business: some demand for Siliguri's trade and tea industry; midday flights are quieter. Students/budget: monsoon and post-monsoon fares are the kindest, and the hills are lush then.
Mumbai (BOM), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, splits domestic flights across two terminals: IndiGo and Akasa use Terminal 1, while Air India Express uses Terminal 2. The terminals are about 4 km apart with a free inter-terminal shuttle, so confirm which one your flight departs from. Bagdogra (IXB) operates from a single integrated terminal — recently expanded but still compact, so it can feel busy during the morning arrival peak.
At Mumbai, allow generous time — city traffic to the airport is notoriously heavy, and a wrong-terminal arrival means a shuttle ride. Bagdogra airport is about 16 km from Siliguri; pre-paid taxis and shared cabs serve onward destinations: Darjeeling and Gangtok are roughly 3–4 hours by road, Kalimpong a little less. Arrange your hill transfer in advance, especially for an afternoon arrival.
IndiGo's standard domestic free check-in is 15 kg plus one 7 kg cabin bag; Akasa Air and Air India Express offer similar economy allowances, though fare bundles vary. See IndiGo baggage and Akasa Air baggage for current rules. If heading to the hills, pack warm layers in your cabin bag — even summer evenings are cool at altitude.
Mumbai is warm and humid year-round with a heavy southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep). The Bagdogra-Darjeeling-Sikkim belt gets intense monsoon rain and the risk of landslides on hill roads in those months, so summer hill trips need a weather buffer. Post-monsoon (Oct–Nov) gives the clearest Himalayan views. Carry a light rain layer whatever the season.
Book a morning Mumbai departure so you reach Bagdogra with daylight to spare for the long hill drive to Darjeeling or Gangtok — and double-check your Mumbai terminal, since IndiGo/Akasa (T1) and Air India Express (T2) are 4 km apart. If your plans include Sikkim, note that a permit is required for some areas and certain protected zones.
Yes. IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express fly non-stop, with SpiceJet appearing seasonally — typically around 4–6 non-stops a day.
The non-stop takes roughly 2 hours 50 minutes to 3 hours over about 1,790 km.
IndiGo and Akasa Air use Terminal 1, while Air India Express uses Terminal 2. The two are about 4 km apart with a free shuttle, so confirm your terminal before you set off.
IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express are the main non-stop carriers, with SpiceJet seasonal. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Darjeeling and Gangtok are each roughly 3–4 hours by road from Bagdogra, so an early-arriving flight is best for completing the hill transfer in daylight.
Typically 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag on IndiGo, with similar allowances on Akasa and Air India Express depending on fare. See the IndiGo baggage and Akasa Air baggage pages.
Yes. IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express all open web check-in around 48 hours before departure, letting you pick seats and skip queues.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative flight.
Mumbai's heavy monsoon (Jun–Sep) can delay departures, and monsoon rain plus landslide risk in the Bagdogra-hills belt can disrupt onward travel. Build in a buffer for summer trips.
IndiGo does not accept pets. Akasa Air permits pets in cabin or hold subject to conditions and advance booking. Confirm the policy of your chosen airline before travel.
Yes. All carriers accept infants on an infant fare with proof of age, one per adult on the lap.
Bagdogra and Siliguri need no permit, but Indian nationals require an Inner Line Permit for certain protected areas of Sikkim such as Nathula and parts of north Sikkim — arrange these locally.
Airline websites often match OTA prices and make changes simpler. Compare both on FlightGPT before booking.
Monsoon months (Jul–Sep) are usually cheapest. The hill-station summer (Apr–Jun) and the New Year period are the dearest, so book those well ahead.
