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

Air India is the only carrier operating a non-stop Mumbai → Newark service, and for summer 2026 it has been increased from 3x weekly to daily (7x weekly) on the Boeing 777. Note that United Airlines does not currently fly this exact pair non-stop, so don't assume a second direct option. For more choice you'll use a one-stop: Lufthansa via Frankfurt/Munich, Qatar Airways via Doha, Emirates via Dubai, Etihad via Abu Dhabi, Turkish Airlines via Istanbul and British Airways via London all serve EWR or nearby New York airports.
The distance is about 12,540 km, making this one of the longest routes from India. Non-stop Mumbai → Newark takes roughly 16 hours 10 minutes; the EWR → BOM return is a touch quicker at around 15 hours 15 minutes with favourable winds. Routings have lengthened since the closure of Pakistani airspace to Indian carriers, so timings can run longer than the historical norm — build in plenty of buffer for any onward US connection.
Demand and fares peak around the Indian summer holidays (May–July), the festive and Diwali season (October–November) and Christmas–New Year (late December). The cheaper windows are February–early April and September. We never quote a fixed rupee fare for a route this volatile — check live fares in the FlightGPT search for your exact dates.
On ultra-long-haul to the US, booking early matters: aim for 2–4 months ahead, and longer for the May–July and December peaks. The Air India non-stop is the most convenient but not always the cheapest — Gulf and Turkish one-stops frequently undercut it, especially in shoulder months, at the cost of 4–8 extra hours. Mid-week departures help. If you're flexible on the New York airport, also compare fares into JFK, which Air India serves non-stop from Delhi.
Air India departs Mumbai Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Terminal 2 (T2) and arrives at Newark Liberty International (EWR) Terminal B, the international terminal. EWR is well connected to Manhattan by the AirTrain to NJ Transit/Amtrak rail and by taxi or ride-share (roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic). Allow generous time for US immigration on arrival.
Air India economy to the USA generally allows 2 pieces of 23 kg each + 1 cabin bag, with more in Premium Economy and Business — the US sector uses the piece system rather than weight. See the Air India baggage guide for current piece limits and excess charges. If you fly a one-stop carrier, check that carrier's US-bound piece allowance, and request vegetarian or Jain meals at booking.
Indian passport holders need a valid US visa before travel — for tourism or visiting family this is normally the B1/B2 visitor visa, which requires an online DS-160 form, fee payment and an in-person interview at a US consulate. Wait times for interview slots can be long, so apply well ahead. Students, workers and others need the relevant visa category. There is no visa-on-arrival for Indians to the USA. Verify current requirements on the official US travel portal; our visa guide for Indian travellers outlines the B1/B2 process.
The strongest one-stop hubs are Doha (DOH) on Qatar Airways, Dubai (DXB) on Emirates and Abu Dhabi (AUH) on Etihad — all with frequent EWR/JFK service and good onward US networks. Frankfurt/Munich on Lufthansa and Istanbul (IST) on Turkish are strong European options. Pick based on layover length, fare and which New York-area airport suits your final destination.
For a 16-hour flight, choose your seat early, stay hydrated and move around the cabin. EWR is convenient for New Jersey and downtown/lower Manhattan; if you're headed to upper Manhattan, JFK or LaGuardia may be closer. Keep your visa, return ticket and US address handy for immigration, and allow a long connection if continuing within the US.
Newark Liberty is the gateway to the New York metro — Manhattan's skyline, Broadway, world museums and the vast Indian communities of New Jersey (Edison, Jersey City) are all within easy reach. It's a hub for business, study and family visits, with onward connections across the US. The daily Air India non-stop makes the long journey as direct as it gets.
Yes. Far from cutting it, Air India increased the Mumbai–Newark non-stop to daily (7x weekly) for the summer 2026 schedule on the Boeing 777. It remains the only direct carrier on this exact city pair.
Not currently. Air India is the sole non-stop operator on Mumbai–Newark. For more options you would fly a one-stop via Doha, Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Frankfurt, Istanbul or London on carriers such as Qatar, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa, Turkish or British Airways.
The non-stop takes about 16 hours 10 minutes Mumbai to Newark, and around 15 hours 15 minutes on the return. Routings have lengthened since Pakistani airspace closed to Indian carriers, so allow extra buffer for connections.
Yes. Indians need a valid US visa before travel — usually the B1/B2 visitor visa for tourism or family visits, which requires a DS-160 form, fee and in-person interview. There is no visa-on-arrival, and interview waits can be long, so apply early.
Air India departs Mumbai Terminal 2 and arrives at Newark Liberty International Terminal B, the international terminal. From EWR, the AirTrain links to NJ Transit and Amtrak rail into Manhattan.
Newark is 9 hours 30 minutes behind Mumbai during US daylight saving time and 10 hours 30 minutes behind in winter. India does not observe daylight saving, so the gap shifts twice a year.
Air India economy to the USA generally allows 2 pieces of 23 kg each plus a cabin bag, using the piece system rather than weight. Premium cabins allow more. Check the Air India baggage guide for current limits and excess fees.
February through early April and September are typically the cheapest windows on BOM-EWR — Air India's non-stop and the one-stop Gulf/European alternatives both tend to price lower in these shoulder periods. Fares peak sharply during the May–July Indian summer holidays, the October–November Diwali festive season and around Christmas–New Year, when round-trip fares on the non-stop can be 50–80% higher than shoulder-season lows. Booking 2–3 months ahead secures the best non-stop fares; for peak summer or December, aim for 3–4 months out.
