Looking for cheap flights from Mumbai to Venice?

No airline operates a direct BOM–VCE flight as of 2026. The most practical 1-stop options include Lufthansa via Frankfurt (FRA) connecting to a short intra-Europe hop to Venice Marco Polo; Turkish Airlines via Istanbul (IST) with an Istanbul–Venice leg; Etihad via Abu Dhabi (AUH); and ITA Airways (formerly Alitalia) via Rome (FCO) or Milan (MXP) with a domestic or short EU connection onward to Venice. Milan Malpensa (MXP) can also be a practical entry point if you plan to approach Venice by high-speed rail (≈3 hours).
The great-circle distance from Mumbai to Venice is approximately 6,300 km. With a single layover and efficient connections, total travel time is typically 13–16 hours. Via Istanbul the combined flying time is roughly 12–13 hours, plus the connection gap. Via Frankfurt it is similar. If you extend your layover for sightseeing at the hub, overall travel time can rise well above 20 hours. Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is on the mainland lagoon; a water taxi or bus connects to the historic islands.
Italy is part of the Schengen Area, meaning Indian passport holders must apply for a Schengen visa before travel. The application is typically made at the Italian consulate (or the consulate of your main destination country if Italy is not the primary stop). You will need a valid passport, confirmed flights, hotel bookings, travel insurance covering at least €30,000, and proof of funds. Processing usually takes 2–4 weeks; apply earlier during peak summer. See our visa guide for the full checklist.
Venice is one of Europe's most popular tourist destinations, so demand for connecting flights is consistently high, especially in spring (March–May) and autumn (September–October). Peak summer (June–August) and Carnival (February) drive fares up sharply. For lower fares, consider travelling in late November or January–early February (excluding Carnival). Book at least 8–10 weeks ahead for summer travel. Midweek departures from Mumbai often price below weekend equivalents.
All international departures from Mumbai use Terminal 2 (T2) at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM). Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is located on the mainland, about 12 km from central Venice. The cheapest way to reach the historic centre is the ACTV bus to Piazzale Roma (≈20–30 min), but the iconic and scenic option is the Alilaguna water bus to San Marco. Water taxis are fast but premium-priced.
Baggage allowances vary by airline and fare type. Lufthansa economy typically includes one 23 kg piece; Turkish Airlines economy one 23 kg piece internationally; Etihad economy on the India–Europe routing typically allows 30 kg. Note that intra-European legs (e.g., Rome to Venice) operated by budget carriers like Ryanair or easyJet may have very restrictive separate baggage rules if booked as a self-connect — always verify whether your bags are checked through to the final destination.
Venice is unlike any other destination — a car-free island city navigated entirely on foot and by water. The historic centre (Comune di Venezia) requires a day visitor fee for day-trippers in peak season (≈€5), though overnight hotel guests are exempt. Accommodation books out months ahead for summer and Carnival. Pack light as wheeled luggage is impractical on Venice's canal bridges. The best weather is April–June and September–October; July–August can be very crowded and hot with occasional acqua alta (flooding).
No, there are no nonstop flights from Mumbai (BOM) to Venice (VCE) in 2026. You will need at least one connecting stop, most practically at Istanbul, Frankfurt, Abu Dhabi, or Rome.
Return economy fares on BOM–VCE routes typically range from approximately ₹50,000 to ₹1,10,000 depending on the airline, hub, season, and booking lead time. Travelling in January or November (outside Carnival week) and booking 8–10 weeks ahead tends to yield lower fares.
Yes. Italy is part of the Schengen Area, so Indian passport holders must hold a valid Schengen visa. Apply at the Italian consulate with at least 4–6 weeks before travel. Our <a href='/visas'>visa page</a> has a full checklist.
Istanbul (IST) via Turkish Airlines and Frankfurt (FRA) via Lufthansa are the most popular single-stop options, with reasonable connection times and competitive fares. Etihad via Abu Dhabi is also worth comparing, particularly for premium cabins.
All international departures from Mumbai use Terminal 2 (T2) at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Allow at least 3 hours before your scheduled departure for international check-in.
Venice Marco Polo Airport (VCE) is on the mainland about 12 km from the historic islands. Options include the ACTV bus to Piazzale Roma (≈20–30 min, cheap), Alilaguna water bus direct to San Marco (≈70 min, scenic), or a private water taxi (fastest, most expensive). Taxis by land go only as far as Piazzale Roma.
