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

There is no non-stop Mumbai–Sohar flight. The neatest option is Oman Air into Muscat with an onward link, since Oman Air anchors the Muscat hub closest to Sohar. Budget travellers fly IndiGo or Air India Express from Mumbai to Muscat, Dubai or Sharjah, then continue by a short hop or the well-travelled 3-hour road up the Batinah coast. flydubai and Air Arabia add UAE frequency. Compare the Muscat connection against a Dubai one — pricing flips often by season.
The hub you choose changes the experience. Routing through Muscat (MCT) keeps you inside Oman, so you clear immigration once and the onward distance to Sohar is only ~200 km. A Dubai or Sharjah connection often brings more daily Mumbai departures and sharp budget fares, but you transit the UAE before entering Oman. Layovers typically run 2–5 hours. Check our visa guide for what a UAE stop may require depending on its length.
Sohar Airport (OHS) is a small, modern facility about 10 km from the city centre, near the Sohar Port and Freezone. Arrivals are quick — usually 20–30 minutes through immigration on a light flight. Taxis are the main onward option, with a ride into central Sohar costing only a few Omani rials. A popular alternative is to fly into Muscat instead and drive the scenic coastal highway to Sohar in around 3 hours, often cheaper overall.
Economy round-trips from Mumbai to Sohar typically run ₹18,000–₹36,000 depending on season, with peak winter and Eid travel pushing higher. Oman Air full-service tickets usually include 30 kg checked, while Air India Express and IndiGo budget fares often start at 20–25 kg with extra bags sold separately. If you are relocating or carrying gifts, add the bag at booking — an extra 10 kg bought later at the airport almost always costs more than buying it upfront.
Oman's coast is hot, so timing pays off. The comfortable window is November to February with daytime highs near 25–28°C — pleasant but the busiest and priciest. Summers from May to August are intense (40°C+), keeping fares low, so work travellers often save then. Shoulder months like September and early October balance reasonable weather with softer pricing. Book 4–8 weeks ahead for the best Mumbai departures and watch for Eid-season surges.
Sohar is primarily a work-and-family destination for Indians. Its port, freezone and heavy industries — aluminium, petrochemicals and steel — employ a large Indian workforce, so most traffic is job-related or relatives visiting. The city also has a rich history, once a thriving trading port tied to the legend of Sinbad, with forts and beaches plus easy day trips to Muscat. Travellers blending work with sightseeing often add the capital; see our Mumbai to Muscat page.
Indian citizens need a visa for Oman, obtained online before travel via Oman's e-visa portal; common tourist visas allow stays of up to 10 or 30 days depending on the type. Holders of a valid US, UK, Schengen or Canadian visa may qualify for simplified entry under certain conditions, but verify before booking. Carry a passport valid at least 6 months, a return ticket and proof of accommodation. Always reconfirm the latest visa rules on official Omani government sources.
No. There are zero non-stop flights. You connect once via Muscat or Dubai/Sharjah, for a total journey of roughly 4h 30m to 7h 30m depending on the layover.
Flying Mumbai to Muscat or Dubai on a low-cost carrier and continuing by short hop or road is usually cheapest, with economy round-trips often in the ₹18,000–₹36,000 range.

Oman Air full-service fares usually include 30 kg checked, while budget carriers like IndiGo and Air India Express often start at 20–25 kg. Buy extra weight at booking to save.

Mumbai to Sohar prices swing with demand, season and lead time more than with any single airline. The reliable lever is comparison: pull every BOM–OHS fare at once and shift your date by a day or two. Mid-week and red-eye departures on are usually where the cheapest seats sit.
For a same-week Mumbai–Sohar trip, the trick is to check all carriers at once rather than one app at a time. FlightGPT's live BOM-OHS search does exactly that — red-eye and early-morning departures often carry the lowest last-minute prices. Enter your date above to compare instantly.
There is currently no non-stop service between Mumbai and Sohar — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h 30m–7h 30m (1-stop via Muscat/Dubai).
