IndiGo and Air India on the Mumbai–Jaisalmer route

Two airlines fly Mumbai to Jaisalmer non-stop. IndiGo has served the route with an Airbus A320-family jet, with block times of about 2 hours to 2 hours 10 minutes in recent schedules. Air India announced a new daily non-stop from 25 Oct, 2026, the start of the winter schedule: flight AI2563 leaves Mumbai at 10:00 and reaches Jaisalmer at 11:40. Schedule listings in mid-2026 showed around 12 flights a week across both airlines, and frequencies at Jaisalmer have historically been highest from October to March, when tourism peaks. Summer schedules can be thinner. Search on FlightGPT to see which airlines are flying on your date.

Why the desert route is a winter route

Jaisalmer's tourism year is sharply seasonal. From October to March the days are warm and the nights cold, which is ideal for the fort, the havelis and a night in a desert camp. From April to June daytime temperatures often cross 40°C and can approach 45–48°C, and the monsoon brings only a little rain but heavy humidity. Airlines respond to this pattern: winter is when new routes such as Air India's open, and when the most seats are available. If you plan to travel in summer, check early whether your preferred airline is still operating, because Jaisalmer services have been trimmed in past off-seasons.

Leaving from Mumbai: terminals and timing

Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has two terminals. Air India operates from Terminal 2. IndiGo uses both T1 and T2 in Mumbai, depending on the flight, so read the terminal on your booking carefully before you set out — going to the wrong one costs at least 30 minutes. Air India's 10:00 departure avoids the worst of the morning rush: from Bandra or Andheri allow 30–45 minutes, and from Thane or South Mumbai about an hour. The Aqua Line metro has stations at both T1 and T2, which helps if you are travelling from BKC or Worli with light luggage.

Inside Jaisalmer's Air Force civil enclave

Jaisalmer Airport is a civil terminal at an Indian Air Force station, close to the India–Pakistan border. That has practical effects:

The terminal is modern but compact. The airport is roughly 12–15 km from the city centre and the fort, about 20–30 minutes by taxi. Hotels and desert camps commonly arrange pick-ups; pre-paid taxis are also available.

First day in Jaisalmer: fort, havelis and dunes

With Air India landing at 11:40, you can check in, eat lunch and still spend the afternoon in the city. The essentials:

The Sam sand dunes are about 40–45 km west and Khuri about 45 km south-west; most visitors spend at least one night at a camp there. The abandoned village of Kuldhara and the Tanot Mata temple, much further towards the border, are popular day trips.

Desert Festival, Diwali and New Year demand

Fares from Mumbai rise sharply around a few clear peaks:

Camps and hotels also sell out on these dates, so book accommodation first, then compare flights on FlightGPT. If non-stop seats are expensive, flying Mumbai to Jodhpur and driving about 285 km to Jaisalmer, or taking the overnight train from Jodhpur, are well-used alternatives.

Baggage rules for IndiGo and Air India

On domestic economy, IndiGo allows 15 kg of check-in baggage and 7 kg in the cabin. Air India economy fares usually include 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, though its lightest fare family may not include a checked bag — check before you pay. Desert trips need warm layers for cold nights in December and January, so pack a jacket even if Mumbai is humid when you leave. On the way home, Jaisalmer's leather goods, mirror-work textiles and yellow-stone carvings add weight quickly; prepaying excess baggage online is cheaper than at the counter.

Tips before you fly to Jaisalmer

Carry a government photo ID — Aadhaar, passport or driving licence — and keep it handy, as Air Force station security may check it more than once. Desert camps are far from the airport, so share your flight number with your camp so they can time the pick-up. In winter, early-morning fog in north India can delay aircraft arriving from other cities, though Jaisalmer itself is usually clear. If you are travelling with elderly relatives, the late-morning Air India departure is gentler than an early start. For the return journey, read our Jaisalmer to Mumbai flight guide. Compare both airlines on FlightGPT before booking with the airline or travel partner.
