Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Ho Chi Minh City? FlightGPT compares live BOM to SGN fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

Vietnam Airlines (full-service) and Vietjet Air (low-cost) both operate non-stop Mumbai–Ho Chi Minh services, each around three times a week, so combined there are several non-stop departures weekly. Vietnam Airlines flies modern A350/A321 equipment with a business cabin; Vietjet is an all-economy budget carrier. To clarify a common assumption: IndiGo does not fly this city pair non-stop — it serves Ho Chi Minh from Mumbai with a connection. For daily flexibility, one-stop routings are the workhorses.
On days without a non-stop, reliable one-stop routings include Thai Airways via Bangkok, Singapore Airlines (and Scoot) via Singapore, Malaysia Airlines via Kuala Lumpur, and IndiGo via its own network points. Bangkok and Singapore usually give the shortest connections. These can also be cheaper than the limited non-stops, so compare total time and price for your dates in the FlightGPT search.
The non-stop covers about 4,000 km in roughly 5 hours 20 minutes, tracking east across the Bay of Bengal and Southeast Asia to Tan Son Nhat International (SGN). Ho Chi Minh City is 1 hour 30 minutes ahead of India (Vietnam is UTC+7, no daylight saving). One-stop itineraries typically run 9–13 hours total including the layover, depending on the hub.
Vietnam's dry season (December–April) and Indian holiday peaks drive higher fares, with a spike around Tet (Vietnamese New Year, late Jan/Feb) when book early and avoid travel chaos. The cheapest stretches are usually May–September (Vietnam's green/wet season). For the limited non-stops, book 6–10 weeks ahead. We don't publish fixed prices — check live fares in the FlightGPT search for your travel dates.
Genuine savings: be flexible on dates given the thin non-stop schedule, and compare a one-stop via Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur, which can beat the direct fare. Vietjet sales can be very cheap but watch the add-ons (baggage, seats, meals) that budget fares strip out. Travel in the May–September value season and avoid Tet. Set a fare alert. For total cost, add baggage to any low headline fare before comparing on FlightGPT.
Mumbai international flights depart from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) Terminal 2 (T2). In Ho Chi Minh City, you arrive at Tan Son Nhat International (SGN), whose International Terminal (T2) is close to the city centre — about 7 km, roughly 20–30 minutes by taxi/Grab depending on traffic. A new larger terminal at Tan Son Nhat is being expanded, and the bigger Long Thanh airport is under construction further out for the future.
Vietnam Airlines economy on this route typically includes a checked allowance of around 23 kg + 7 kg cabin (more in higher fares and business). Vietjet, as a low-cost carrier, sells baggage separately — base fares may include little or no checked bag, so add it at booking. If connecting on IndiGo or another carrier, confirm the through-allowance. Pre-purchasing baggage online is always cheaper than paying at the airport.
Indian passport holders need a visa for Vietnam, but it's straightforward: apply online for the Vietnam e-visa via the official government portal (evisa.gov.vn). It now offers up to a 90-day stay with single or multiple entry, costs from around USD 25, and is usually issued in 3–7 working days. Your passport must be valid 6+ months with blank pages. Apply only through the official site and verify current fees and validity before travel.
Use Grab (ride-hailing) from the airport rather than negotiating taxis. Carry small-denomination Vietnamese dong and a card; ATMs are widely available. Ho Chi Minh City is hot and humid year-round — the dry season (Dec–Apr) is best for travel. It's a great base for the Mekong Delta and Cu Chi Tunnels day trips. Request a vegetarian or Asian-vegetarian meal on Vietnam Airlines at booking.
Saigon is energetic, affordable and full of history. See the War Remnants Museum, the Notre-Dame Cathedral and Central Post Office, bustling Ben Thanh Market, and the rooftop bars of District 1. Day trips reach the Cu Chi Tunnels and the lush Mekong Delta. Vietnamese street food — pho, banh mi, fresh spring rolls — is a highlight, and the 90-day e-visa makes longer Vietnam itineraries easy.
