Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Kannur?

IndiGo provides the non-stop backbone of this route, with a couple of direct departures most days. Other carriers and IndiGo's own connecting itineraries route via a southern hub such as Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Kochi, which adds an hour or more. For the quickest journey, filter for non-stops only.
Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard any old schedules showing those carriers on this corridor.
The distance is roughly 920 km, flown non-stop in about 1h 40m on an A320/A321neo. A 1-stop via a southern hub typically pushes the journey to 4–6 hours including the layover. Given the modest number of non-stops, lock in a direct seat early if timing matters to you.
Kannur's heavy Gulf-NRI and festival traffic drives demand around Onam, summer holidays and December weddings. Because non-stops are limited, fares can climb quickly in peak weeks — booking 3–5 weeks ahead is sensible.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Aug–Sep (Onam) | Very high | Highest |
| Apr–May (summer) | High | Firmer |
| Dec (weddings/holidays) | High | Firmer |
| Jun–Jul (monsoon) | Moderate | Often cheapest |

Compare the non-stop against a 1-stop via Bengaluru or Kochi — on quiet dates a connection can be cheaper, though slower. Mid-week departures usually price below weekends. Travel cabin-only to avoid baggage charges on IndiGo's lighter fares, and set a price alert so you can grab a non-stop seat when it dips rather than during a peak-week surge.
A morning or early-afternoon non-stop gets you to Kannur with daylight for onward travel to Bekal, Thalassery or Wayanad. If you take a connection, avoid the tightest layover — a missed link in the south can leave you waiting hours for the next non-stop leg into Kannur.
NRI/family travellers: book non-stops well ahead for Onam and December; they sell out first. Business travellers: the thin non-stop schedule makes a same-day return tight — plan an overnight. Students/budget flyers: monsoon-month, mid-week 1-stop fares are usually the cheapest; carry cabin baggage only to keep costs down.
In Mumbai, IndiGo flies from Terminal 1 (Santacruz) and Air India from Terminal 2. The terminals are some distance apart, so confirm which one applies. Kannur International (CNN) at Mattannur has a single modern terminal — compact and easy to navigate, though it can get busy with Gulf-bound traffic at certain hours.
Allow extra time in Mumbai for traffic to T1 or T2; the metro and app cabs are the usual choices. Kannur airport is about 25–30 km from Kannur town, with prepaid taxis, app cabs and some KSRTC buses. It's also handy for Thalassery, Iritty and the Wayanad foothills.
Economy generally allows 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, varying by fare. See IndiGo baggage for current limits and excess rates. If you're carrying extra for relatives in the Gulf-linked community, pre-buy excess baggage online — it's noticeably cheaper than the airport counter.
North Malabar gets intense southwest monsoon (Jun–Aug) and is humid for much of the year; Oct–Feb is the most comfortable window for the coast and the Theyyam season. Mumbai's own monsoon can cause departure delays, so add buffer if you're flying out in July–August. Pack light rain gear either way.
Because non-stops are limited, search a 2–3 day window on FlightGPT and compare the direct flight against a 1-stop via Bengaluru or Kochi. You'll often find a connection that's cheaper, or a non-stop on an adjacent date that's far better priced than your first choice — all shown side by side.
