Mumbai to Lucknow is a busy trunk route with plenty of non-stop choice. IndiGo runs the most daily frequencies, with around four IndiGo departures a day in peak periods. Air India Express and full-service Air India both fly the sector, and Akasa Air adds a few weekly services on its 737 MAX 8.
SpiceJet has scaled back on many routes; check live whether it is currently operating this one before relying on it. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard any old listings for those names.
The air distance is about 1,200 km and a non-stop takes roughly 2 hours to 2h 10m. Most flights track north-east across central India. One-stop options usually connect through Delhi and add 3–5 hours, so they only make sense if the non-stop fares are unusually high.
Lucknow sees heavy traffic around festivals, the winter wedding season and university intake periods. Fares firm up over Diwali, Eid and the cooler October–February window when the city is most pleasant to visit. Booking 2–4 weeks ahead generally lands a fair non-stop fare.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (cool season) | High | Best weather in Lucknow; weekends and festivals dearest |
| Mar–Jun (summer) | Moderate | Very hot in Lucknow; quieter, softer fares |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Low–Moderate | Humid; usually the cheapest seats |
| Diwali / Eid / weddings | Very High | Festive and wedding demand spikes prices — book early |
Practical, honest tips for this sector:
Morning departures from Mumbai land you in Lucknow before lunch, ideal for a full day in the city or onward travel to Ayodhya, Varanasi or Kanpur. Evening flights suit business travellers heading back after a day's work. In December and January, watch for fog-related delays at Lucknow on the earliest arrivals; a later-morning flight is the safer pick in deep winter.
Business: Choose a morning non-stop on IndiGo or Air India and a flexible fare if plans may change. Lucknow's airport is well organised and close to the city.
Families: Non-stops keep a 2-hour journey simple. Daytime flights, pre-booked adjacent seats and a snack stash make travel with children smoother.
Students and budget travellers: Midweek and off-season fares are lowest. A hand-baggage-only fare is the cheapest option for a light packer.
Mumbai (BOM): Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International. Air India and IndiGo on this route operate from the integrated Terminal 2; some low-cost rotations still use Terminal 1, so check your boarding pass as the two are several kilometres apart.
Lucknow (LKO): Chaudhary Charan Singh International. Scheduled flights use the newer integrated Terminal 3, about 14 km from the city centre.
In Mumbai, allow generous time — traffic to T2 is unpredictable, and the airport metro plus app cabs are the practical options. In Lucknow, T3 is roughly 14 km from Hazratganj; app cabs and prepaid taxis reach the centre in 30–45 minutes depending on traffic.
Domestic economy generally includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, but this depends on the fare — hand-baggage-only fares carry no free check-in. Confirm before paying. See IndiGo baggage, Air India baggage and Akasa Air baggage for current allowances.
Lucknow has hot summers (March–June, often above 40°C), a humid monsoon (July–September) and crisp, foggy winters (December–January). The cool months are the best time to visit for the Bara Imambara, Rumi Darwaza and the city's famous Awadhi cuisine. Carry warm layers in winter and a valid photo ID for both airports. If you are connecting onward to Ayodhya or Varanasi, factor in road or rail time from Lucknow.
