Airlines & non-stop options

Vijayawada to Mumbai is a comfortable non-stop sector served by IndiGo (6E) and Air India (AI), with roughly four to five non-stops a day between them. IndiGo carries the bulk of frequency; Air India adds full-service options for those who want assigned meals and through-fares onto its wider network. Because two carriers compete here, fares are generally more reasonable than on single-operator routes.

SpiceJet has operated this market in the past but is not a reliable everyday presence in 2026 — treat IndiGo and Air India as the dependable choices.

Flight time, distance & routing

The distance is about 910 km and the non-stop flight time is roughly 1h 50m, with scheduled block time usually shown as around 2 hours to allow for taxiing and Mumbai's busy approach. The usual aircraft is an Airbus A320neo or A321neo. Mumbai is one of India's most congested airports, so the last few minutes can involve holding in the air or a wait for a gate.

Best time to book & seasonal fares

Demand peaks around festivals and the winter wedding season. Indicative pattern:

Oct–Nov (Dussehra, Diwali)HighBook 3–5 weeks ahead
Dec–Jan (winter, weddings, New Year)HighBook early
Jun–Sep (monsoon)LowerCheaper, but Mumbai delays likely

Getting your fare cheaper

With two carriers competing, comparing IndiGo against Air India on your date often turns up a better deal. Book two to five weeks ahead, prefer mid-week departures over Friday/Sunday, and consider an early-morning or late-evening slot, which tends to price lower. Travelling cabin-bag-only on IndiGo's saver fare cuts the price; just confirm the fare suits your luggage. Booking the airline directly avoids OTA fees.

Best departure windows

Flights are spread across the day. A morning departure is the safer bet — Mumbai's afternoon congestion and the monsoon's evening thunderstorms make later slots more delay-prone. An early arrival also dodges Mumbai's notorious rush-hour road traffic if you are heading into the city. If you are connecting onward at Mumbai, leave a generous buffer given the airport's congestion.

Advice by traveller type

Business: Frequent non-stops make a same-day return realistic. Travel light and use priority bag-drop; allow extra time at Mumbai for the slow taxi-in.

Families: Under two hours non-stop is manageable with children. Carry essentials in the cabin and book bassinet seats early for infants.

Students & budget travellers: Honest take — the competition keeps fares fair, so booking a few weeks ahead on a weekday usually lands a good price. The Vijayawada–Mumbai train runs around 16–18 hours, so flying saves a full day for a modest premium if booked early.

Airports & terminals

Vijayawada (VGA) — at Gannavaram, with a single terminal roughly 20 km from the city. It is a compact, easy airport; a long-pending new terminal was still not commissioned as of 2026, so operations continue from the existing building.

Mumbai (BOM) — Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International. IndiGo and most low-cost carriers (and Akasa) use Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 2. The two terminals are several kilometres apart, so check your boarding pass — especially important if anyone is connecting or being picked up.

Getting to & from the airport

At Vijayawada, prepaid taxis and app cabs cover the ~20 km into the city in 30–45 minutes. At Mumbai, T1 and T2 both have prepaid taxis and app-cab pickup; the Mumbai Metro Line 3 (Aqua) now reaches the airport area, easing the road crawl. Allow generous time for Mumbai traffic regardless of mode, particularly in peak hours and the monsoon.

Baggage allowance

IndiGo's standard domestic fare allows 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag; Air India economy is broadly similar but varies by fare bucket. Saver/lite fares may exclude checked baggage, so read the label. See the IndiGo baggage page, and pre-pay any excess online — it costs far less than at the airport.

Travel tips & weather

Mumbai's monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings heavy rain and frequent evening delays at one of India's busiest airports — favour morning flights and keep onward plans flexible. Vijayawada is hot and humid much of the year, with its own monsoon spell. Reach the airport at least two hours before departure given Mumbai's volume, and carry a government photo ID.

FlightGPT tip

Compare IndiGo and Air India side by side on your date — competition on this route means real price differences. Pick a morning departure to dodge Mumbai's afternoon congestion and monsoon evening storms, and double-check whether you are landing at BOM Terminal 1 or 2.

Which airlines fly Vijayawada to Mumbai?

IndiGo and Air India are the dependable operators in 2026. IndiGo carries the most frequency; Air India offers a full-service option with through-connections.

Which Mumbai terminal will I use?

IndiGo and most low-cost carriers (and Akasa) use Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 2. The two are several kilometres apart, so check your boarding pass.

What is the baggage allowance?

IndiGo's standard fare allows 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag; Air India is broadly similar but varies by fare. Saver fares may exclude checked baggage — see the IndiGo baggage page.

Can I do web check-in?

Yes. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on both airlines and closes about 60 minutes before, letting you choose a seat and reach the airport with a boarding pass ready.

Does Mumbai's monsoon affect this route?

Yes. June–September brings heavy rain and frequent evening delays at Mumbai, one of India's busiest airports. Morning flights are more reliable, and onward plans should stay flexible.

Am I entitled to a refund if my flight is cancelled?

Yes. Under DGCA rules you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative if the airline cancels, plus assistance and compensation where the cancellation is within the airline's control and notified late.

Is flying faster than the train?

Considerably. The Vijayawada–Mumbai train takes around 16–18 hours; the flight is under two hours. If booked a few weeks ahead, the fare premium is modest for the time saved.

Can I carry my pet on this flight?

Pet carriage is limited and not guaranteed on every flight or aircraft. If you must travel with a pet, contact the airline well ahead to confirm acceptance and conditions.

Are infants allowed and is there a fare?

Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a nominal fare. Carry age proof and request a bassinet or front-row seat at booking where available.

How early should I reach the airport?

Aim for two hours before departure, mainly because of Mumbai's volume at the arrival end and security queues. Vijayawada itself is quick, but build in a buffer.

Is it cheaper to book direct or via an OTA?

Booking on the airline's own site avoids OTA convenience fees and makes changes simpler. Compare the live price here against the airline before paying.

What documents do I need?

A valid government photo ID for each adult and age proof for infants. This is a domestic flight, so no visa is required.
