The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time, given both per carrier and across all carriers on the route; where a schedule does not publish an elapsed time, it is derived from the scheduled departure and arrival times converted to UTC. Outbound and return times are computed by the same method, so the difference between them is directly comparable and reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in derivation.

There is no direct mass transit from the airport, and rental cars or self-drive scooters are popular for exploring but less practical for a simple transfer.

Suburban trains provide a very affordable alternative—the nearest stations are Vile Parle (East) for the domestic terminal and Andheri (East) for the international terminal—with connecting BEST buses (routes 312, 321, 308) or auto‑rickshaws from the stations. The new Mumbai Metro also serves the airport directly via CSMIA Airport T2 and T1 stations, offering a fast, traffic‑free link at a moderate cost.
