Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Taipei? FlightGPT compares live BOM to TPE 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 Taipei non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mumbai-Taipei fare is one search away.
There is no nonstop BOM–TPE, so you'll connect once. The quickest options are Cathay Pacific via Hong Kong and the Bangkok routings on Thai Airways, VietJet and Scoot. Vietnam Airlines connects via Ho Chi Minh City or Hanoi, China Airlines (Taiwan's other major carrier) offers 1-stop itineraries, and Air India and IndiGo sell connecting tickets via their networks. EVA Air does not currently fly to Mumbai, so despite being Taiwan's flagship it isn't available on this pair. Compare hubs and total time in the FlightGPT search.
The direct-line distance from Mumbai to Taipei is about 6,000 km, but with the required stop you'll fly more. Total journey time is roughly 10–11 hours on the best connections: via Bangkok is typically the fastest at around 10h 10m, and via Hong Kong around 11h 10m. The Mumbai–hub leg is about 4–5.5 hours and the hub–Taipei leg about 3.5–4 hours, plus the layover. Choose a connection of 1.5–3 hours for the smoothest end-to-end time.
Taiwan's peak travel is spring (the cherry-blossom and pleasant-weather window) and the year-end holidays, when fares are highest. Summer (June–September) is hot and is also typhoon season, which can mean lower prices but some weather risk. The cheaper, comfortable windows are usually autumn (October–November) and parts of the post-New-Year period. For peak travel, book 3–4 months ahead; for shoulder months, 6–10 weeks. Mid-week departures and flexible hub choice cut the fare. Confirm live fares in the FlightGPT search rather than a fixed figure.
Because there's no nonstop, the hub you pick drives the price — Bangkok routings on low-cost carriers (VietJet, Scoot) are often the cheapest, while Cathay via Hong Kong is the premium pick. Self-transfer combinations can save money but you carry the missed-connection risk and must re-clear bags, so only do it with a long buffer. Travel mid-week, avoid spring and year-end peaks, and watch for Southeast Asian carrier sales. A longer layover usually trims the fare; some travellers add a Bangkok stopover deliberately.
Mumbai departures use Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport Terminal 2 (T2). You'll arrive at Taoyuan International Airport (TPE), Taiwan's main gateway, about 40 km west of central Taipei, with two terminals linked by a people-mover and a fast Airport MRT into the city. At the hubs, Cathay uses Hong Kong International, while Thai, VietJet and Scoot use Bangkok's Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang — important to check if you have a self-transfer between airports in Bangkok.
On a 1-stop itinerary your allowance follows the operating carrier and fare. Full-service airlines like Cathay Pacific, Thai, Vietnam Airlines and China Airlines generally include 25–30 kg checked in economy on this routing, while low-cost connections (VietJet, Scoot) sell baggage separately. If any leg is on an Indian carrier, check Air India baggage or IndiGo baggage. On separate tickets confirm whether bags are through-checked to Taipei or must be re-collected at the hub.
Indian passport holders generally need a visa for Taiwan. The convenient route: if you hold a valid (or recently expired) visa or permanent residency from the USA, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, New Zealand, South Korea or a Schengen country, you can apply online for Taiwan's Travel Authorisation Certificate (TAC) — free, usually issued in about 3 days, and allowing a stay of up to 14 days. Indians without one of those qualifying visas must apply for a regular visa through Taiwan's representative office. Verify the latest rules officially before booking.
Bangkok (BKK/DMK) offers the fastest connections and the widest choice, including low-cost options — just watch whether your flights use Suvarnabhumi or Don Mueang. Hong Kong (HKG) on Cathay is the smooth premium connection. Ho Chi Minh City (SGN) or Hanoi (HAN) on Vietnam Airlines are good-value alternatives. Several of these hubs allow a stopover if you want to see two destinations in one trip. Single-ticket itineraries protect your onward leg if the first flight is delayed — worth paying a little more for.
Taipei is 2h 30m ahead of India, so jet lag is mild. Taiwan is extremely safe, clean and easy to get around — get an EasyCard for the excellent metro and buses. Carry your TAC or visa printout and onward ticket for immigration. Night markets are the heart of Taiwanese food culture, with plenty of vegetarian options if you ask. Cash (New Taiwan dollar) is handy for markets, though cards work widely. Pack a light rain layer, especially in the warmer months.
Taipei pairs a buzzing modern city — the Taipei 101 skyscraper, world-class street food, and the National Palace Museum's imperial treasures — with easy access to nature: the hot springs of Beitou, the tea terraces of Maokong, and the mountains and coast just beyond the city. Day trips reach Jiufen's lantern-lit lanes and Yehliu's rock formations. Friendly, affordable and effortlessly navigable, Taiwan is one of Asia's most underrated destinations — and a rewarding stop on a Southeast Asia itinerary from Mumbai.
No. There is no nonstop on BOM–TPE. Every flight connects once, fastest via Bangkok (about 10h 10m) or Hong Kong (about 11h 10m). Carriers include Cathay, Thai, VietJet, Scoot, Vietnam Airlines and China Airlines.

Generally yes. But if you hold a valid or recently expired US, UK, Canada, Japan, Australia, NZ, South Korea or Schengen visa/PR, you can apply online for Taiwan's free Travel Authorisation Certificate (TAC) for a 14-day stay. Others need a regular visa. Verify officially.
Connecting via Bangkok is usually the fastest at around 10 hours 10 minutes total, followed by Hong Kong at about 11 hours 10 minutes. Choose a layover of 1.5–3 hours to keep the journey efficient.
Taipei is 2 hours 30 minutes ahead of Mumbai. Taiwan does not observe daylight saving, so the gap stays constant. Jet lag is mild given the modest time difference and the moderate flight length.
Cathay Pacific (via Hong Kong), Thai Airways, VietJet and Scoot (via Bangkok), Vietnam Airlines (via Ho Chi Minh City/Hanoi) and China Airlines fly the route with one stop. Air India and IndiGo sell connecting itineraries.
Autumn (October–November) and parts of the post-New-Year period are usually cheapest. Spring (blossom season) and the year-end holidays are peak. Summer is hot and typhoon-prone. Check live fares in the FlightGPT search.
