Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Surat?

Whether you want a Mumbai to Surat non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Surat fare is one search away.
IndiGo holds the dominant position on the Mumbai–Surat route, typically operating one or two daily departures using A320 or ATR-72 turboprops depending on load. SpiceJet has historically offered seasonal capacity on this sector but schedules fluctuate — always verify on the airline's own website before booking. Air India and Akasa Air do not currently serve Surat as a standalone destination from Mumbai. Given the short distance, direct bookings through FlightGPT or an airline's app can surface last-minute fares that are competitive with the premium rail options.
Base economy fares on BOM–STV typically start around ₹1,500–₹3,500 one-way in lean periods (July monsoon, January mid-week). Prices spike sharply around Diwali, Navratri and long weekends when Surat-based diamond traders and textile merchants head home. Booking 3–4 weeks in advance gives the best balance on this thin-frequency route. Last-minute fares can jump to ₹5,000–₹8,000 one-way. The June 2026 window shows moderate inventory — book mid-week departures for the lowest base prices.
Block time is roughly 1 hour 10 minutes, though actual airborne time can be as little as 50 minutes on a favourable routing. The aircraft typically climbs, levels briefly and begins descent almost immediately — there is no meal service on such a short hop, though IndiGo's '6E Snack Box' is available for purchase. Turboprop operations (ATR-72) are common on this sector, which means a slightly noisier and lower-altitude experience compared to a jet, but perfectly routine. No in-flight entertainment system is fitted on short-haul narrow-bodies on this route.
Surat Airport is a single-terminal facility located roughly 12 km from the city centre in Magdalla. The terminal handles both domestic arrivals and departures and is straightforward to navigate. Pre-paid taxis and auto-rickshaws are available outside the arrivals gate; the journey to Surat's Ring Road or Adajan area takes about 20–30 minutes depending on traffic. There is no metro link yet, though the city's Surat Metro project is under construction. Mumbai's departure terminal for this route is T1 (the low-cost domestic terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport).
The Vande Bharat Express covers Mumbai–Surat in ≈ 2 hours and departs from Mumbai Central, making it a formidable competitor. For travellers starting from South Mumbai or Bandra, the total door-to-door time by train can actually beat the flight once airport check-in, security and transit are factored in. However, the flight wins when connecting onwards from Surat to another city, when travelling with heavy cargo, or when the premium fare difference is small. FlightGPT lists live fares on the BOM–STV sector so you can compare in real time.
IndiGo's standard economy fare includes one cabin bag (7 kg). Checked baggage must be added at booking — a 15 kg add-on typically costs ₹500–₹900 when purchased online versus significantly more at the airport. SpiceJet bundles vary by fare family; the SpiceFlex tier includes 15 kg check-in. Given the short hop, most business travellers fly carry-on only. As of June 2026, both carriers enforce strict cabin bag size rules (55×35×25 cm for IndiGo) — oversized items will be tagged at the gate.
This is a domestic Indian flight — no passport or visa is required. A valid government-issued photo ID is mandatory for all adult passengers: Aadhaar, PAN card, Voter ID, passport or driving licence all work. Children below 12 travelling with parents typically need a birth certificate copy. DigiYatra (biometric boarding) is available at BOM T2 but not at T1 for this route yet — carry a physical or digital boarding pass. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on IndiGo and SpiceJet apps.
The block time is ≈ 1 hour 10 minutes. Actual airborne time can be under an hour on a direct routing.
IndiGo is the primary carrier with 1–2 daily flights. SpiceJet operates seasonally. No Air India or Akasa Air service currently on this sector.
Economy fares start around ₹1,500–₹3,500 one-way when booked 3–4 weeks out. Peak periods (Navratri, Diwali) can push fares to ₹6,000–₹8,000.
The Vande Bharat Express takes ≈ 2 hours from Mumbai Central to Surat — often comparable door-to-door, especially for South Mumbai travellers, making the train a genuine rival.
Flights depart from BOM T1 (the low-cost domestic terminal). Allow extra time as T1 uses manual check-in counters and has fewer automated lanes than T2.
Not by default on IndiGo's base fare — a 15 kg checked bag typically costs ₹500–₹900 extra when added at booking online.
