Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Busan? FlightGPT compares live BOM to PUS fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Mumbai to Busan non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Busan fare is one search away.
No carrier flies BOM–PUS non-stop, so you pick a connecting airline. Singapore Airlines via Changi, Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong, and Korean Air or Asiana via Seoul-Incheon (with a short domestic or low-cost hop, or onward flight to Gimhae) are the main options. Thai Airways via Bangkok also works. Many travellers fly into Seoul (ICN) and connect to Busan by air or the KTX high-speed train. Singapore and Seoul routings usually offer the best schedules and shortest total travel.
Singapore's Changi and Hong Kong both have frequent Mumbai flights and onward links toward Korea, with layovers often 1.5–3 hours. A Seoul-Incheon routing lets you connect to Busan either by a 1-hour domestic flight or the scenic KTX train (about 2.5 hours from Seoul). For the smoothest trip, an ICN or Singapore connection lands you in Busan in roughly 12–13 hours. If you fancy a stopover, Singapore or Seoul both reward a day's exploration before continuing to the coast.
Gimhae International Airport (PUS) lies about 13 km west of central Busan. The Busan–Gimhae Light Rail connects to the metro network, and city buses and the airport limousine reach Haeundae and Seomyeon in 30–50 minutes for roughly ₩1,500–7,000 depending on mode. Taxis to the centre cost about ₩15,000–25,000 and take 25–40 minutes. Busan's clean, efficient metro then makes beach-hopping and sightseeing easy, while the KTX from Busan Station links to Seoul in about 2.5 hours.
To Korea, economy fares on Singapore, Cathay, Korean Air and Asiana usually include 1–2 pieces of 23 kg or a 30 kg weight allowance plus 7 kg cabin — the piece-versus-weight rule varies, so always confirm. Low-cost onward hops within Korea may charge separately for bags. Premium economy raises the allowance to around 35 kg with more legroom on the long leg, and business unlocks 40 kg. The cheapest saver fares limit changes and seat selection, so weigh that against a 13-hour multi-leg journey.
Busan peaks in the July–August beach season and around the October film festival, when fares and hotels climb. The cheapest windows are February, June (before peak summer) and November. Economy round-trips typically range ₹55,000–₹1,05,000 depending on season and lead time. Booking 2–3 months ahead and avoiding the summer holidays can save ₹15,000–₹20,000. Spring (cherry blossoms in late March–April) and autumn bring beautiful weather, though spring fares can rise with demand.
Busan blends beaches, mountains and modern culture, riding the global Hallyu wave that draws K-drama and K-pop fans from Mumbai. Highlights include Haeundae and Gwangalli beaches, the photogenic Gamcheon Culture Village, the giant Jagalchi fish market, Beomeosa temple and the buzzing Busan International Film Festival. It is a more relaxed, coastal counterpoint to Seoul, easily combined with a wider Korea trip via the KTX. Korean cuisine, shopping and sea views make it a fresh, photogenic holiday for couples and groups.
Indian passport holders generally need a South Korea visa for tourism, applied for at the Korean visa centre with your passport, itinerary, hotel bookings and financial proof; short-stay tourist visas are commonly issued, and processing usually takes about 5–10 working days, so apply 3–4 weeks ahead. A K-ETA electronic travel authorisation system also operates — eligibility and exemptions change periodically, so verify whether you need a visa, a K-ETA, or both before booking. See our visa guide for the current document list.

Economy round-trips typically range ₹55,000–₹1,05,000 depending on season. Booking 2–3 months ahead outside summer often lands fares near the lower end.
Yes. Indians generally need a Korea visa for tourism, and a K-ETA system also applies. Visa processing usually takes about 5–10 working days, so apply 3–4 weeks ahead.
Busan is 3h 30m ahead of India year-round, as Korea uses KST (UTC+9) with no daylight saving and IST stays at UTC+5:30.
The light rail and metro or an airport limousine reach the centre in 30–50 minutes for roughly ₩1,500–7,000, while a taxi covers the 13 km in 25–40 minutes for about ₩15,000–25,000.
Mumbai to Busan prices swing with demand, season and lead time more than with any single airline. The reliable lever is comparison: pull every BOM–PUS fare at once and shift your date by a day or two. Mid-week and red-eye departures on are usually where the cheapest seats sit.
For a same-week Mumbai–Busan trip, the trick is to check all carriers at once rather than one app at a time. FlightGPT's live BOM-PUS search does exactly that — red-eye and early-morning departures often carry the lowest last-minute prices. Enter your date above to compare instantly.
There is currently no non-stop service between Mumbai and Busan — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 12–16h (1-stop via Singapore/Hong Kong/Seoul). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Mumbai Busan ticket but are open to a layover.
On Mumbai to Busan, the headline price and the price you actually pay can differ once baggage and seat selection are added. That's why FlightGPT compares fully-bundled Mumbai Busan fares across — the cheapest all-in option, not the lowest sticker that balloons at checkout.
