Both IndiGo and Akasa Air fly Varanasi to Navi Mumbai non-stop. IndiGo uses Airbus A320-family jets and Akasa Air uses Boeing 737 MAX aircraft, and the flight time is about 2 hours 15 minutes on either. The practical differences are departure time, fare on your date, and small policy points such as seat selection charges and food options.
Because NMI opened on 25 Dec, 2025, both airlines have been adding and retiming flights there. Search FlightGPT for your date to compare the two side by side with flights to Mumbai's older airport, BOM, and then book with the airline or travel partner.
Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport is about 26 km north-west of Varanasi. If you are staying near the ghats, the first part of the trip is walking or taking a rickshaw through narrow lanes to a road where cars can reach, often at Godowlia, Assi or Rajghat. Then comes the drive, which can take 45 minutes to over an hour.
Reach the airport 90 minutes before departure; its terminal is efficient but busy during morning departures.
Both airlines allow 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag on standard domestic economy fares, plus a small personal item. Banarasi silk sarees, brassware, wooden toys and sweets are popular purchases.
Fold silk sarees in their original boxes or wrap them in cloth inside the cabin bag if they are valuable. Ganga jal and other liquids over 100 ml must go in checked baggage in sealed containers. Brass items can be heavy; if you are near the limit, pre-book excess baggage online rather than paying at the counter.
Navi Mumbai International Airport is near Ulwe and Panvel. It suits travellers heading to Navi Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Bhiwandi, Panvel and Pune, which is reached via the Mumbai–Pune Expressway that starts close by. South Mumbai is reachable over the Atal Setu sea bridge.
If you are going to Andheri, Bandra, Malad or Borivali, Mumbai's older airport (BOM), about 35 km from NMI, will usually be the better landing point. Compare the two airports on FlightGPT for the same date and add the cab time before deciding.
Return flights to the Mumbai region fill up after festivals that send people home. Eastern UP families travel for Chhath Puja, about six days after Diwali (08 Nov, 2026), and return in mid-to-late November. Dev Deepawali in late November and the Christmas–New Year week bring tourist returns.
Maha Shivratri (February or March) and the Sawan month in July–August are pilgrimage peaks. In late June, students and workers return after the summer break. Search your return at the same time as your outbound on FlightGPT.
From mid-December to late January, fog often reduces visibility at Varanasi in the early hours, delaying departures and inbound aircraft. If you have a fixed commitment in Mumbai, choose an afternoon flight or travel a day early.
Monsoon arrivals at NMI in July and August can face heavy rain and slower roads afterwards. Check your flight status with IndiGo or Akasa before leaving for Babatpur.
If your flight leaves in the afternoon, the last morning is worth using. A sunrise boat ride from Dashashwamedh or Assi Ghat takes an hour or two and is the classic way to see the ghats; agree the boat fare before boarding. The Kashi Vishwanath Dham corridor now links the temple directly to the river, though queues can be long on Mondays and festival days, and phones and bags are not allowed inside, so use the lockers.
Sarnath, about 10 km north of the city, sits roughly on the way to Babatpur, so a visit to the Dhamek Stupa and the museum can fit into a late-morning departure for the airport if you leave enough margin. The Sarnath museum is closed on Fridays; check before planning around it.
Varanasi airport serves a wide area beyond the city: Jaunpur, Ghazipur, Mirzapur, Azamgarh, Chandauli and parts of western Bihar. Many travellers drive two to three hours to reach Babatpur, which makes a direct flight to Navi Mumbai especially useful compared with a train journey of more than a day.
Allow for road conditions and crossings on the Ganga bridges. For the outbound route and more on the ghats, see Navi Mumbai to Varanasi.
