No — there is no non-stop flight between Surat and Mumbai. The two cities are only about 225 km apart, a distance airlines generally leave to road and rail, so every air ticket on this pair is a one-stop connection, most often via Delhi, Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Goa. Booking engines that show a "Surat to Mumbai flight" are quoting a connecting itinerary, not a direct service.
This is normal for very short city pairs in India: a 225 km sector does not support a dedicated jet rotation when an excellent surface link exists. If a non-stop is later introduced from Surat International, this page will reflect it — but as of June 2026, plan around a connection or a surface option. For genuinely direct Surat metro links, see our Surat to Delhi and Surat to Hyderabad pages.
As of June 2026, indicative one-way connecting Surat to Mumbai fares typically run ₹5,500-₹12,000, depending on the via-point, the airline and how far ahead you book. Because you are buying two flight legs rather than one short hop, the all-in price is higher than the physical distance suggests — there is no cheap direct fare to anchor it.
The lowest connecting fares usually appear on IndiGo routings booked two to four weeks out; last-minute and festival-period bookings climb well above the range. These are indicative figures, not live quotes. Given the cost and the 5.5-8-hour journey, weigh the surface alternatives below before booking — or run a live Surat to Mumbai search in the FlightGPT chat to see current connecting fares for your dates.
IndiGo (6E) offers the widest set of connecting Surat to Mumbai itineraries, typically routing through its hubs at Delhi, Hyderabad or Bengaluru. Air India (AI) sells connecting fares too, often via Delhi, with the advantage of through-checked baggage and onward Star Alliance links from Mumbai. Mixed itineraries combining different carriers also appear in search results.
When you book a single connecting ticket on one airline, your baggage is usually checked through to Mumbai and you are protected if the first leg is delayed. If you stitch together two separate one-way tickets to save money, you are responsible for re-checking bags and you lose missed-connection protection — only do that with a generous layover. Compare carriers on our IndiGo and Air India pages.
Because there is no non-stop, your Surat to Mumbai schedule is driven by the connection. Total journey time typically runs about 5 hours 30 minutes to 8 hours or more including the layover, versus an airborne time of well under an hour if a direct hop existed. The exact timing depends on the via-point and the wait between flights, so read the full itinerary carefully before booking.
For comparison, surface options are faster door-to-door on this corridor: trains such as the Tejas and Vande Bharat cover Surat-Mumbai in roughly 4-5.5 hours, and the NH-48 road journey by cab or bus is similar outside peak traffic. Flying mainly makes sense when you are connecting onward from Mumbai. For trip planning at the destination, see our Mumbai destination guide.
On Surat to Mumbai the choice is not non-stop versus one-stop — there is no non-stop — it is one-stop air versus surface transport. A one-stop flight is worth it only when you need Mumbai purely as a connecting point to a longer domestic or international flight and the through-fare is competitive. In that case, book the whole journey on a single ticket so your bags and connection are protected.
If Mumbai is your final destination, the train or road option is almost always faster and cheaper than a connecting flight on this short pair. Many travellers fly Surat to a different metro instead — see our Surat to Bangalore and Surat to Delhi non-stop pages — and use Mumbai only when the network requires it.
For connecting Surat to Mumbai tickets, book two to four weeks ahead for the lowest fares, and earlier — six to ten weeks — for Diwali, the winter wedding season and summer holidays, when seats on the popular via-points fill up. Last-minute connecting fares on a two-leg journey can be expensive, since a sell-out on either leg pushes you into higher buckets.
Set a price alert as soon as your dates are fixed and compare routings, not just airlines — a connection via Hyderabad may price very differently from one via Delhi on the same day. Our 2026 online booking guide covers the timing tactics in detail.
On a single connecting ticket, domestic economy baggage is typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, and your bags are checked through to Mumbai — you do not normally collect and re-check at the via-point. Some value fares sell a checked-bag-free base fare, so confirm what your specific itinerary includes. Excess baggage runs about ₹500-₹600 per extra kg, cheaper if pre-paid online.
If you book two separate one-way tickets to cut the fare, each ticket has its own allowance and you must collect and re-check your bags at the connecting airport — budget extra time and watch the weight rules on both legs. Fees and allowances change; verify on the airline's official site before booking, and read the rules for both legs carefully when the two flights are on different carriers.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA / BOM) has two terminals. Terminal 1 (T1) handles IndiGo, SpiceJet and Akasa domestic flights; Terminal 2 (T2) handles Air India and Air India Express plus all international flights. The terminals are about 4 km apart and not connected airside — a free shuttle links them, so allow time if your connecting itinerary or onward flight uses the other terminal. Confirm your terminal on the boarding pass.
From CSMIA, prepaid and app taxis reach South Mumbai in roughly 45-75 minutes depending on traffic, and BKC or Andheri much sooner. The Mumbai Metro and suburban rail connect nearby. If Mumbai is a connecting point, leave a comfortable buffer between flights. For onward planning, compare our Mumbai to Bangalore route page.
Indian domestic flights follow DGCA's CAR Section 3, Series M passenger-rights rules, with each airline setting its own cancellation and change fees by fare class. On a connecting ticket, the fare rules apply to the whole journey; the cheapest fares are largely non-refundable except taxes, while flexible fares are refundable minus a fee. Date changes cost a change fee plus any fare difference. Verify exact charges on the airline's official site before booking.
A key advantage of a single connecting ticket: if the first leg is delayed and you misconnect, the airline must rebook you. Two separate tickets carry no such protection. If the airline cancels, you are entitled to a full refund or free rebooking. See our DGCA passenger rights guide.
First, sanity-check whether you actually need to fly: for Surat to Mumbai, the train or road option is usually faster and cheaper than a one-stop flight. If you do need the air connection — typically to reach an onward flight from Mumbai — book it as a single through-ticket so your bags and connection are protected, and prefer the routing with the shorter, safer layover over the rock-bottom fare with a tight connection.

For this domestic journey you need a government-issued photo ID matching your booking name — Aadhaar, passport, voter ID, PAN card or driving licence are accepted. No passport or visa is required. Carry the same ID you used at booking on every leg of a connecting ticket.
On a single connecting ticket, domestic economy is typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, with bags checked through to Mumbai.
