Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Hanoi? FlightGPT compares live BOM to HAN 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 Hanoi non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Hanoi fare is one search away.
Vietnam Airlines is the only consistent non-stop operator on BOM–HAN, running roughly four flights a week on the A350-900 or A321neo. Budget carrier Vietjet Air also serves the route directly on certain seasons. Note that IndiGo does not currently fly non-stop on this pair — its Mumbai–Hanoi product is a one-stop connection, typically via Singapore or Bangkok. Other one-stop choices are Thai Airways via Bangkok, Singapore Airlines via Changi, Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur and Bamboo Airways via Bangkok, most clearing in 9–13 hours total.
Non-stop Mumbai → Hanoi is approximately 4 hours 50 minutes to 5 hours for around 4,000 km. The return leg is similar (≈ 5h 15m) with mild headwinds. Hanoi is 1h 30m ahead of India (ICT is UTC+7; IST is UTC+5:30), so an evening departure from Mumbai lands in Hanoi early the next morning — handy for a same-day Halong Bay transfer.
Northern Vietnam has two clear demand cycles. The peak is October–April — the cool, dry season with the most pleasant weather in Hanoi and Halong Bay — plus the May–June Indian school holidays. Lunar New Year (Tet, late January/early February) drives heavy travel and pushes fares up. The cheapest window is typically May–September (the hot, rainy season up north, with occasional typhoons in July–August). Book 6–10 weeks ahead for off-peak travel and 12–16 weeks out for the October–April peak and Tet. Fares move constantly — check live prices in the FlightGPT search before booking.
A few tactics genuinely help on this route. One-stop fares via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur often undercut the non-stop by 20–30% if you are not time-pressed. Mid-week departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) are usually cheaper than weekends. Travelling in the May–September shoulder rather than the December–February peak can roughly halve the fare. Set a price alert and compare a couple of nearby dates rather than fixing on one. We will never quote a fixed rupee fare here — always confirm the live price in the FlightGPT search.
Mumbai (BOM) — all international flights leave from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport's Terminal 2 (T2). Allow extra time during the busy 8 pm–1 am international wave. Hanoi (HAN) — Noi Bai International Airport's Terminal 2 (T2) handles all international arrivals and departures; Terminal 1 is domestic only. T2 is modern and clears immigration quickly. A taxi or the Hanoi Airport Express bus into the Old Quarter takes about 45 minutes.
Vietnam Airlines economy on Asia routes includes 23 kg checked + 12 kg cabin; business class allows more. Vietjet is a budget carrier where checked baggage is usually bought as an add-on (cabin only on the base fare), so add a bag at booking to save money. If you connect on IndiGo for the one-stop routing, IndiGo's international 6E fares typically allow 30 kg checked + 7 kg cabin — see the IndiGo baggage guide. Always confirm against your specific fare class, as promotional Lite/Saver fares carry reduced allowances.
Indian travellers need a Vietnam e-visa, applied for online before travel at the official portal evisa.gov.vn. The single-entry e-visa costs USD 25 and multiple-entry USD 50, both valid for up to 90 days; processing is typically about 3 working days. There is no visa on arrival for Indians on direct routings, so apply in advance and carry a printed copy. Your passport must be valid at least 6 months with two blank pages. The earlier 30-day visa-free entry for some nationalities does not cover Indian tourists, so the e-visa is essential. Full guidance is in the FlightGPT visa resources — verify the latest rules on the official site before you fly.
If you take a one-stop routing, the main hubs are Bangkok (BKK) on Thai Airways/Bamboo, Singapore (SIN) on Singapore Airlines/IndiGo and Kuala Lumpur (KUL) on Malaysia Airlines. Singapore offers the smoothest, shortest connections and a world-class transit experience, while Bangkok and KL routings are often the cheapest. Keep at least a 2-hour layover for an international-to-international connection, and check whether your bags are through-checked to Hanoi.
Vegetarian and Jain meals on Vietnam Airlines must be pre-ordered at least 24 hours before departure via Manage Booking — they are not loaded by default. Many Indians pair Hanoi with a Halong Bay overnight cruise (best October–April) and a Sapa trek, so allow 5–7 days minimum. Carry some Vietnamese Dong for street food and taxis, though cards are widely accepted in central Hanoi. Use the FlightGPT search to compare every connected source live.
Hanoi blends thousand-year-old temples, French-colonial boulevards and one of Asia's great street-food scenes — bun cha, pho and egg coffee are reason enough to go. It is the springboard for Halong Bay's limestone karsts and the rice-terrace treks around Sapa, and an easy add-on to Ho Chi Minh City or Da Nang for a fuller Vietnam loop. For Indian travellers it is affordable, visa-light and refreshingly different from the usual Southeast Asian beach circuit.
The non-stop is approximately 4 hours 50 minutes to 5 hours over about 4,000 km. One-stop routings via Bangkok, Singapore or Kuala Lumpur typically take 9–13 hours including the layover.
Vietnam Airlines operates the main year-round non-stop, around four times weekly, and Vietjet also flies the route directly on certain seasons. IndiGo serves Mumbai–Hanoi only on one-stop connections, not non-stop.
