Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Rajkot? FlightGPT compares live BOM to RAJ fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Mumbai to Rajkot non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Rajkot fare is one search away.
This route is well served nonstop in 2026, with IndiGo running the most departures on its A320-family jets and Air India also operating multiple daily flights. Between them the corridor sees dozens of weekly nonstops, making it one of the more convenient Mumbai–Saurashtra air links with good morning, midday and evening choices. SpiceJet has historically dabbled on Gujarat routes but with reduced presence in 2026. Frequency means you rarely need a connection, and if one flight is full there is usually another within a few hours. Ignore any old listings showing Jet Airways or Go First, which are defunct, or Vistara, which has fully merged into Air India. Compare current nonstop options on FlightGPT routes.
An important practical point: Rajkot's flights no longer use the cramped old city airport. They operate from Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar, a modern greenfield airport that opened in 2023, located about 30 km from Rajkot city along the Ahmedabad highway. While the booking code on legacy systems may still show RAJ, the operational airport is Hirasar (often coded HSR), so plan your ground transfer accordingly: it is around 40 minutes to an hour from central Rajkot by road, longer than the old in-city airport. App cabs, taxis and buses serve it. The new airport has more capacity and a longer runway, which has supported the growth in Mumbai nonstops compared with the old field.
The great-circle distance from Mumbai to Rajkot is only about 530 km, and nonstops block roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes gate-to-gate, a genuinely quick hop. Because the flight is so short, the time you spend on airport formalities and ground transfers can exceed the flight itself, so weigh door-to-door time when comparing with rail or road. Arrive the standard 2 hours before a domestic departure at Mumbai, where the route departs from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 depending on the carrier, so check your ticket. The brevity of the flight makes it ideal for quick business trips to the Saurashtra industrial belt, but factor in the longer transfer from Hirasar at the Rajkot end.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) operates from Terminal 1 (Santacruz, mostly domestic low-cost) and Terminal 2 (Sahar, used by Air India and many others, both domestic and international). IndiGo and Air India split operations across these, so always confirm your departure terminal on your ticket, as the two are several kilometres apart and not quick to transfer between in Mumbai traffic. If you are connecting from an international arrival to a Rajkot domestic flight, allow generous time for the inter-terminal transfer and any baggage recheck. Mumbai's airport is among India's busiest, so peak-hour congestion at security and baggage drop is common; the standard 2 hour domestic buffer is wise here, not optional.
With high frequency, fares on Mumbai–Rajkot are competitive, but they still reward planning. Booking roughly 2 to 6 weeks ahead usually secures the best advance fares; last-minute seats inside a few days can cost noticeably more as business travellers fill them. Demand rises around Gujarati festivals like Navratri and Diwali, when the Saurashtra diaspora returns home in force, and around long weekends. Mid-week departures (Tuesday and Wednesday) are generally softer than Fridays and Sundays. We never publish a guaranteed price, but as a rough 2026 guide, nonstop one-way fares have often sat in the lower-to-mid four-figure rupee range outside peaks, which is attractive for such a short, frequent sector.
On this domestic route the standard checked allowance is 15 kg with most carriers, plus a 7 kg cabin bag; some Air India fares include 20 kg or more. IndiGo's base fares are unbundled, so seat selection, extra baggage and meals are paid add-ons, and a hand-baggage-only fare will not include a checked bag, so read the fare type carefully. Given the short flight, many travellers carry only cabin baggage, which speeds things up at both ends. If you do need to check a bag, prepaying any excess online is cheaper than the airport counter. Weigh bags before leaving, keep electronics and valuables in your cabin bag, and remember Mumbai's busy security lines when timing your arrival.
Mumbai to Rajkot is a domestic Indian route, so no visa or passport is required. Carry one valid government photo ID matching your ticket name: Aadhaar, driving licence, voter ID, PAN card or passport are all accepted, and digital IDs via DigiLocker or mAadhaar work at both Mumbai and Hirasar. Ensure the name matches your booking exactly to avoid check-in trouble. Keep your ID and mobile boarding pass handy for security and the e-gates, which are now common at Mumbai. Minors can travel on a school ID, and infants need age proof such as a birth certificate. If you are renting a car in Rajkot or Saurashtra, also carry your driving licence.
The rail journey from Mumbai to Rajkot runs roughly 12 to 14 hours by direct trains, so the one-hour flight is a huge time saver for business and quick personal trips. The catch is the longer transfer from the new Hirasar airport, which narrows the door-to-door advantage somewhat compared with the old in-city airport, but flying still wins comfortably on total time. Overnight trains remain popular with budget travellers and those who prefer to sleep en route and arrive rested. For most people on a schedule, the frequent, affordable nonstops make air the default, and the high frequency means good fallback options if your preferred flight is full or delayed.
Yes, frequently. IndiGo and Air India both operate multiple daily nonstops, blocking roughly 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes. Between them the corridor sees dozens of weekly flights, so connections are rarely needed.
Flights use the new Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar, opened in 2023, about 30 km from the city, around 40 to 60 minutes by road. The old in-city airport no longer handles these scheduled flights.
A nonstop is only about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes over roughly 530 km. Because it is so short, airport formalities and the Hirasar transfer can take longer than the flight itself, so weigh door-to-door time.
It depends on the carrier: Mumbai (BOM) uses Terminal 1 (mostly low-cost) and Terminal 2 (Air India and others). Always check your ticket, as the terminals are several kilometres apart and slow to transfer between.
About 2 to 6 weeks ahead usually wins. Avoid Navratri, Diwali and long-weekend peaks; mid-week 2026 nonstop one-ways have often sat in the lower-to-mid four-figure rupee range on this frequent short sector.
Only a valid government photo ID matching your ticket, such as Aadhaar, driving licence, voter ID or passport. No visa is required since both cities are in India, and DigiLocker or mAadhaar digital IDs are accepted.
