Mumbai to Florence flights — quick facts

Airlines flying Mumbai to Florence

There is no non-stop, and because Florence (FLR) is a small regional airport, you connect through a European hub onto a short final leg. The most natural routings are Lufthansa via Frankfurt or Munich (with Air Dolomiti operating many FLR sectors), Air France via Paris, KLM via Amsterdam, SWISS via Zurich and ITA Airways via Rome or Milan. Gulf carriers such as Emirates can also get you to Italy, then onward. Because the final hop into Florence is on a small aircraft with limited frequencies, book the whole BOM–FLR journey on a single ticket for protected connections and through-checked bags — or consider flying into Pisa (PSA) or Bologna (BLQ) and taking the train.

Cheapest time to fly & book

Tuscany's peak is the spring-to-autumn season (April–October), especially the summer and the Indian holiday periods, when fares and Florence hotel rates climb; the Christmas–New Year stretch is busy too. The cheaper, quieter windows are winter (November–March), outside the festive break. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares run roughly ₹55,000–95,000 depending on routing and season; flying into Pisa or Bologna can sometimes undercut FLR. Because every option connects, weigh total journey time against price. Book peak dates 2–3 months ahead, and apply for your Schengen visa early. Indicative only — check live in the FlightGPT chat.

Flight duration & routing

The quickest single-stop journeys run about 12 to 14 hours end to end — a ~8–9h Mumbai–Europe leg, a connection, and a short ~1–1.5h hop into Florence; longer layovers can push the total to 15 hours or more. Great-circle distance is roughly 6,300 km, though real routings via a hub fly farther. Florence is 3h 30m behind India in summer, so a flight leaving Mumbai overnight or in the morning typically reaches Florence the same day. Because the final leg uses a small aircraft into a compact airport, allow a comfortable connection at your European hub, especially if changing terminals.

Baggage & fares

On these 1-stop fares, full-service economy on Lufthansa, Air France, KLM, SWISS or ITA Airways typically includes 1 checked bag of around 23 kg plus a cabin bag, though the very cheapest "light" European fares may exclude checked baggage — check carefully before booking. Gulf carriers usually allow a more generous 25–30 kg. The small regional jet on the final hop into Florence can have tighter cabin-bag limits, so keep hand luggage modest. Booking the whole journey on one ticket keeps the allowance consistent and bags checked straight through to FLR. Pre-pay any excess online, and request a vegetarian meal on the long-haul sector.

Airports & terminals

Mumbai (BOM) — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International handles international flights from Terminal 2 (T2) at Sahar. Your connection is usually a major European hub — Frankfurt (FRA), Munich (MUC), Paris (CDG), Amsterdam (AMS) or Zurich (ZRH) — where you may change terminals, so allow time. Florence (FLR) — Amerigo Vespucci, also called Peretola, is a small airport only about 5 km north-west of the city centre, with a single passenger terminal and a tram link into town. Its short runway limits it to smaller aircraft. Many travellers instead use Pisa (PSA), about an hour away by train, which has more flights.

Visa & entry for Indians

Florence is in Italy, part of the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders need a Schengen short-stay (Type C) visa arranged in advance — there is no visa-on-arrival. As Italy is your main destination, apply for an Italy Schengen visa (via the official visa centre, typically VFS Global in India), with a passport valid at least three months beyond departure, flight and hotel bookings, bank statements and travel insurance covering at least €30,000 in medical cover. The Type C visa allows stays of up to 90 days in any 180-day period and lets you travel across the whole Schengen zone. Apply no more than six months and no fewer than 15 days before travel. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.

Best time to visit

Florence is loveliest in the shoulder seasons — April to June and September to October — with warm, pleasant days ideal for the Uffizi, the Duomo, the Ponte Vecchio and day trips into the Tuscan countryside, and slightly thinner crowds than mid-summer. July and August are hot and very busy, with peak prices, while winter (November–March) is cool and quieter, atmospheric and cheaper, with the occasional cold or wet spell. Spring also catches the surrounding hills at their greenest. For trip ideas across Tuscany and Italy, see the destinations guide.
