Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Mumbai → Mangalore flight blocks about 1h 40m over roughly 713 km. The route tracks south-south-east along the Konkan coast. Both cities share Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock adjustment. A morning departure from Mumbai has you in Mangalore before lunch. If you miss a non-stop, a 1-stop via Bengaluru or Goa adds roughly 2–3 hours but is available on multiple carriers. The direct flight is short enough that full meal service is rare — expect a snack or buy-on-board option.
Baggage & fares
On IndiGo domestic economy, the standard fare includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. Air India Express economy similarly bundles 15 kg checked (some fare buckets up to 20 kg). Extra baggage is cheaper when pre-booked online than at the counter, where IndiGo charges roughly ₹450–600 per extra kilo. Seat selection, priority boarding and meals are add-ons on the lowest fare buckets for both carriers. Most travellers on this short hop carry light luggage, so the base allowance is usually ample. If you are carrying dried fish or pickle, pack them in checked bags per airline policies.
Airports & terminals
Mumbai (BOM) — IndiGo domestic flights depart from Terminal 1 (Santa Cruz), while Air India Express uses Terminal 2 (Sahar).
