Solapur's air link to Mumbai, day by day
Star Air is the scheduled operator from Solapur to Mumbai in 2026. Flight S5 334 departs at 17:40 on Mondays and Wednesdays and at 14:00 on Fridays and Sundays, according to the timetable announced for the 01 Aug, 2026 restart. That pattern lines up well with a Sunday-afternoon return to Mumbai after a weekend at home, or a Wednesday-evening return after a midweek business trip. There is no flight on Tuesdays, Thursdays or Saturdays. Earlier in the route's life Star Air ran a 15:00 departure, which shows how often small-airport schedules change, so confirm your timing on FlightGPT.
Getting to Hotgi Road airport
Solapur's airport is one of the most convenient in the state: it is about 5 km from the city centre, so most hotels and neighbourhoods are 10–20 minutes away by auto-rickshaw or taxi. Travellers from Pandharpur (about 70 km), Akkalkot (about 40 km) or Tuljapur (about 45 km) should allow one to two hours for the drive and add a buffer on festival days, when pilgrim traffic clogs the roads. The terminal is small, check-in is quick, and security rarely takes long, but Star Air closes check-in about 45 minutes before departure. Arrive around 75 minutes ahead to be safe.
The 70-minute hop west to Mumbai
The flight heads west-north-west over Pune district and the Sahyadri ghats before descending over the Mumbai suburbs. Scheduled block time is about 1 hour 5 to 10 minutes. Embraer jets climb and cruise faster than turboprops, so the trip feels short; you will barely finish the snack service. During the monsoon from June to September, cloud over the Western Ghats can make the descent bumpy, and Mumbai's arrival sequencing occasionally adds a holding pattern of a few minutes. Late-afternoon departures on Mondays and Wednesdays are the most exposed to evening arrival queues at Mumbai.
After landing: Mumbai terminals and transport
Arrivals land at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Confirm your terminal on the Star Air boarding pass, as Mumbai allocates carriers between Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. A 19:00 or so arrival on Mondays and Wednesdays meets the evening road peak, so the Line 3 Aqua metro is the faster way to BKC, Worli or south Mumbai. The Friday and Sunday flights land mid-afternoon, which is easier. Pre-paid taxis and app cabs operate from arrivals. If you are travelling on to Thane, Navi Mumbai or Kalyan, expect an hour or more by road in the evening.
Star Air bag limits on the way back
Allowances are tied to your fare family. In general:
- Standard economy commonly includes around 15 kg check-in; lite fares may include less.
- One cabin bag of about 7 kg plus a small personal item.
Many passengers carry Solapuri chaddars, towels or bedsheets, kadak bhakri and shenga chutney back to Mumbai. Dry foods travel fine in checked bags; keep chutneys in sealed packets. The ERJ-145's overhead bins are small, so hard-shell cabin bags often go into the hold at the aircraft steps and are returned at the bridge or stand on arrival.
When do Solapur–Mumbai seats sell out?
The return flows are sharpest after major pilgrim and family events. Expect high demand after Ashadhi Ekadashi at Pandharpur in June or July, after Siddheshwar Yatra in mid-January, at the end of Navratri when Tuljapur draws crowds, and on the Sunday flight after Diwali. With only four flights a week and a small aircraft, even a normal Sunday can be busy. If you must be back in Mumbai on a specific day, check seats on FlightGPT early and keep the Vande Bharat Express or the overnight Siddheshwar Express as a back-up.
No flight today? Train, road and Pune as alternatives
On non-flying days your options are rail and road. The Vande Bharat Express from Solapur to Mumbai CSMT takes about six and a half hours, and the overnight Siddheshwar Express lets you sleep through the trip. By car, the 400 km drive via Pune and the expressway takes seven to eight hours. Another route is to drive about 250 km to Pune airport and pick up one of many Pune–Mumbai links, though by then the train is usually simpler.

Small-airport habits that help
Web check-in the day before, especially for Sunday flights, so you get a seat together if you are travelling as a family. Carry a printed boarding pass as a back-up, because mobile signal inside smaller terminals is not always reliable. Food options at Solapur airport are limited, so eat in town first. Keep your government photo ID ready: Aadhaar, a passport or a driving licence. If you have a connecting flight out of Mumbai on a separate ticket, leave at least three hours, more for international departures. Search FlightGPT for the dates on either side of your trip, since the four-a-week pattern limits choice.
