Mumbai (BOM) to Visakhapatnam (VTZ) is a coastal-corridor route linking India's financial capital with Andhra Pradesh's largest port city. Non-stop service here is thin: IndiGo is the only carrier flying it without a stop, and even then not every day — the non-stop typically runs a few days a week rather than as a daily fixture. On days without a non-stop, you connect once, usually through Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai.
For one-stop journeys you will also see Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air in the results. If a non-stop sits on your travel date, it is almost always the best pick on time and convenience. Compare both on FlightGPT before you commit. Note that older listings naming Go First, Vistara or Jet Airways are out of date — Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations and Vistara has merged into Air India.
The great-circle distance is roughly 1,090 km. A non-stop covers it in about 2 hours 20 minutes gate to gate. There is no time-zone change — both cities run on IST — so your watch needs no adjustment.
If you end up on a one-stop itinerary via Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai, total travel time stretches to roughly 4 to 7 hours depending on the layover. Booking the whole journey on a single ticket keeps your baggage checked through and protects the connection if the first leg runs late.
Because non-stop supply is limited, fares on this route can move sharply when the single daily seat-pool fills. Booking three to six weeks ahead usually lands a sensible price; last-minute fares on a thin route climb fast. Vizag's tourist peak (winter, plus the festival season) and Mumbai's general business demand both nudge prices up.
| Period | Demand | Fare trend |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (Vizag winter season) | High | Dearer — book early |
| Mar–May (summer) | Moderate | Mid-range; hot in Vizag |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower–Moderate | Softest fares; some weather delays |
| Diwali / Dussehra / Sankranti | Very high | Spikes — book weeks ahead |
Rupee fares change constantly, so treat any figure as indicative and set a price alert rather than fixing on a number.
A few honest levers help. Fly mid-week (Tuesday to Thursday) rather than Friday or Sunday. Keep dates flexible by a day either side and let a fare alert do the watching. Book the non-stop day if one exists for your date, because a one-stop ticket is usually pricier once you add the extra sector. Travel cabin-only where you can — on a short hop the checked-bag fee is avoidable. Finally, compare the all-in price (base fare plus baggage, seat and convenience fees) rather than the headline number, since add-ons differ between IndiGo and the full-service carriers.
The non-stop, when scheduled, tends to depart in a single daily slot, so you rarely get to choose your time on this route — take the seat that exists. If you are choosing among one-stop options, an early-morning departure out of Mumbai T1 gives the best chance of an on-time arrival and the shortest layover at the hub. Late-evening connections risk a longer overnight wait if the inbound leg slips. Allow extra time at Mumbai, where security and check-in queues build through the morning peak.
Business travellers: the non-stop is the obvious choice when it runs; on other days, a Hyderabad connection is usually the quickest one-stop. Book early because the thin non-stop supply means little last-minute flexibility.
Families: prefer a non-stop day if you can — minimising connections with children and luggage is worth a little extra. If you must connect, a single through-ticket and a slightly longer layover make the journey calmer.
Students and budget travellers: the monsoon months and mid-week departures are kindest on price. Watch baggage carefully — a 15 kg add-on bought at booking is far cheaper than airport excess. A one-stop fare is sometimes cheaper than the lone non-stop, so weigh time against money.
In Mumbai, IndiGo operates from Terminal 1 (T1), the domestic terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 2 (T2); the two terminals are about 4 km apart with a free inter-terminal shuttle, so confirm your terminal before you set off.
Visakhapatnam Airport (VTZ) currently operates from a single terminal within the naval airfield, about 8 km from RK Beach. One practical note for 2026: the new Bhogapuram International Airport (Alluri Sitarama Raju International) is scheduled to take over Vizag's commercial flights from July 2026, after which operations shift away from the present airfield — check which airport your ticket shows close to your travel date.
In Mumbai, T1 is in Vile Parle; app cabs (Ola, Uber), the metro and the suburban rail network all serve the area, though road traffic to the airport can be heavy at peak hours — allow a buffer. In Visakhapatnam, the airport sits close to the city; app cabs and prepaid taxis reach RK Beach and the central areas in around 20 to 30 minutes outside rush hour. Auto-rickshaws are available but agree the fare or insist on the meter first.
On IndiGo, the standard domestic allowance is 7 kg cabin plus one personal item, with checked baggage typically charged on cheaper fares — add 15 kg at booking to avoid pricier airport rates. Air India and Air India Express usually include a checked allowance in the fare, but exact figures vary by fare family, so check at the time of booking. See IndiGo baggage for current rules. Excess-baggage charges at the airport are steep, so weigh bags at home.
Visakhapatnam is pleasant from October to February — the best window for the beaches, Kailasagiri and Araku Valley day trips. Summers (March to May) are hot and humid on the coast. The southwest monsoon (June to September) brings heavy rain and the occasional cyclone alert from the Bay of Bengal, which can cause delays; keep an eye on the forecast if travelling then. Mumbai's own monsoon can also disrupt the departure leg, so build in slack during the rains.
Because the non-stop runs only a few days a week, set your search to flexible dates and check the days immediately around your preferred one — you may save hours of layover by shifting a day to catch the direct flight. And confirm your Vizag arrival airport in 2026: with Bhogapuram due to open, the airport on your boarding pass may differ from the one you flew into last time.
Yes, but it is limited. IndiGo is the only carrier offering a non-stop, and it does not run every day — typically a few days a week. On other days you connect once via Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Chennai. Always check whether a non-stop exists for your specific date.
A non-stop takes about 2 hours 20 minutes. A one-stop itinerary via a hub runs roughly 4 to 7 hours in total, depending on the layover.
IndiGo flies the non-stop. For one-stop journeys you will also see Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air. Older listings naming Go First, Jet Airways or Vistara are outdated — those carriers no longer operate independently.
IndiGo departs from Terminal 1 (T1). Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 2 (T2). The terminals are about 4 km apart with a free shuttle, so confirm yours before leaving home.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund of the fare including taxes, or an alternative flight, regardless of fare type. For passenger-initiated cancellations, the refundable amount depends on your fare rules, but statutory taxes and certain charges are refundable even on non-refundable fares.
IndiGo allows 7 kg cabin baggage; checked baggage is usually charged on lower fares, so add 15 kg at booking. Air India and Air India Express typically include a checked allowance that varies by fare. See our IndiGo baggage guide for details.
Web check-in usually opens 48 hours before departure and closes 1 to 2 hours before, depending on the airline. Doing it online lets you pick a seat and skip the airport check-in queue, which is worth it at busy Mumbai T1.
Fog is not a major issue at either end. The bigger weather risk is the monsoon (June to September), when heavy rain or a Bay of Bengal cyclone alert near Visakhapatnam can cause delays. Mumbai's own monsoon may also affect the departure leg.
Some carriers permit pets in the cabin or hold with advance booking and paperwork, but policies and availability differ and seats are limited. Contact the airline well ahead to confirm whether your pet can travel on this route.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a reduced fare; carry the infant's age proof. Each adult is generally limited to one lap infant, and a separate seat with a child restraint can be bought if you prefer.
Prices are often similar, but the airline's own site or app gives the cleanest changes and refunds and sometimes app-only deals. FlightGPT compares fares across sources so you can see the all-in price and book through whichever channel suits you.
If a non-stop exists for your date and the price is reasonable, take it — it saves hours. Occasionally a one-stop fare is noticeably cheaper, so weigh the saving against the extra travel time and layover risk.
Yes — the new Bhogapuram International Airport is scheduled to take over Visakhapatnam's commercial flights from July 2026. Close to your travel date, check whether your ticket shows the existing airport or Bhogapuram.
Three to six weeks ahead usually gets a fair price. Because non-stop supply is thin, last-minute fares climb quickly, so book sooner for festival periods and the winter tourist season.
