Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Cartagena? FlightGPT compares live BOM to CTG 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 Cartagena non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Cartagena fare is one search away.
There is no non-stop, and because Cartagena is a regional Colombian airport, almost every itinerary is two stops: a long-haul leg to a hub, a transatlantic sector to Bogotá (BOG), then a short domestic hop on Avianca, LATAM or Wingo to Cartagena. The cleanest options run through Europe — KLM via Amsterdam, Lufthansa via Frankfurt/Munich, Air France via Paris — or via a Gulf hub on Emirates. Air India and partners also build connections through their networks. Book the whole BOM–CTG journey on a single ticket so the connections and bags are protected end to end across carriers.
On a route this long, fares swing widely with the hub and season. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares run very roughly ₹1,10,000–1,80,000, with the European routings often the best value and Gulf options sometimes cheaper on sale. The Indian festive season and the December–January and mid-year holidays push prices up; quieter shoulder weeks are kinder. Because you are paying for distance and two connections, book well ahead (2–4 months) and stay flexible on dates and hubs. Compare total journey time too, as the cheapest fare can carry very long layovers. Indicative only — check live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Expect roughly 26 to 34 hours door to door including two layovers, over a great-circle distance of about 15,250 km — real routings via Europe and Bogotá fly considerably farther. A typical pattern is an ~9–10h Mumbai–Europe leg, a ~11–12h transatlantic sector to Bogotá, and a ~1h 20m domestic hop to Cartagena, plus connection time. Cartagena is 10h 30m behind India, a huge swing that makes jet lag a real factor — plan a recovery day on arrival. Allow generous, protected connections at each hub; with two stops, a single missed sector can cascade across the rest of the trip.
On these long itineraries the long-haul carrier usually sets the allowance: full-service economy on KLM, Lufthansa, Air France or Emirates typically gives around 1–2 checked pieces (about 23 kg each) through to Cartagena, plus a cabin bag — confirm against your fare and the operating carriers. The big advantage of one through-ticket is that bags are checked BOM–CTG and transfer at each hub, with the airline responsible for misconnections. Avoid self-connecting separate tickets here, where a delay leaves you stranded between carriers. Request a vegetarian (VGML) meal in advance on the long sectors, and carry essentials in your cabin bag.
Mumbai (BOM) — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International uses the modern Terminal 2 at Sahar for all international flights; allow time at the busy late-evening peak when most long-haul departures cluster. Your connections are typically a major European hub (Amsterdam, Frankfurt, Paris) or a Gulf city, then Bogotá El Dorado (BOG), Colombia's main gateway. Cartagena (CTG) — Rafael Núñez International is small and very central, only about 3 km from the historic walled city and the beaches, so the final transfer is quick. Verify your terminals at each hub, especially where airlines split operations.
Indian passport holders generally need a visa for Colombia, but there is a key exemption: if you hold a valid US or Schengen visa (or US/Schengen permanent residency), you can usually enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Without one, apply for the Colombia tourist visa (Visa V) online via the Ministry of Foreign Affairs portal before travel. Carry proof of onward travel, accommodation and funds. Importantly, also check your government's travel advisory for Colombia — advisories urge caution in certain areas — and note you transit other countries en route, whose airport-transit rules may apply. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Cartagena is hot and tropical year-round. The most comfortable window is the drier season, roughly December to April, with sunny days ideal for the walled Old Town, Getsemaní and boat trips to the Rosario Islands — though December–January is the busiest and priciest. The wetter months (around August to November) bring heavier afternoon showers and higher humidity but lower prices and fewer crowds. It stays warm throughout, so pack light, breathable clothes and sun protection whatever the month. For more trip ideas, see the destinations guide.
There is no non-stop. Realistically it is a two-stop trip of about 26 to 34 hours end to end, routing via a Europe or US hub and then Bogotá (BOG), with a short ~1h 20m domestic hop on to Cartagena. Plan a recovery day, as Cartagena is 10h 30m behind India.
No airline flies it non-stop. Most itineraries connect twice - via Europe on KLM (Amsterdam), Lufthansa (Frankfurt) or Air France (Paris), or via a Gulf hub on Emirates, then onward from Bogotá to Cartagena on Avianca, LATAM or Wingo. Book it on one ticket.
As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares run very roughly ₹1,10,000-1,80,000, with European routings often the best value. Prices swing with hub, season and layover length, and rise in the festive and holiday peaks. Indicative only - check live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Generally yes, but there is a key exemption: if you hold a valid US or Schengen visa (or US/Schengen residency), you can usually enter visa-free for up to 90 days. Otherwise apply for the Colombia tourist visa online before travel. Check the latest rules and advisory. See /visas.
No. Mumbai has no non-stop to Colombia at all, and Cartagena is a regional airport, so itineraries almost always involve two stops - a hub in Europe or the US, then Bogotá, then a short domestic hop to Cartagena. The fastest journeys run around 26 to 30 hours.
The quieter shoulder weeks outside the Indian festive season and the December-January and mid-year holidays are usually cheapest. Book 2-4 months ahead on this ultra-long-haul route, stay flexible on hubs and dates, and compare total journey time against the lowest fare.
