The return leg is slightly shorter at around 2 hours and 15 minutes, a difference that's just prevailing winds and not really noticeable.", "methodology": "Flight times and distances come from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). The typical flight time is the median scheduled block time across all carriers on the route, computed the same way in both directions so the difference reflects prevailing winds rather than any change in method. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two airports, so the actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer.", "toolsUsed": [ "flight_schedule" ] }, "q1": { "question": "Are there any direct flights from Delhi to Mumbai?", "answer": "Yes, there are non‑stop flights from Delhi to Mumbai. Five airlines — Air India, IndiGo, SpiceJet, Akasa Air, and Air India Express — operate daily service, with roughly 514 weekly departures combined. The flight takes about 2 hours and 20 minutes.", "methodology": "Airlines and weekly frequencies are compiled from our flight-schedule database, which combines published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data from the Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS), and observed flight operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We count each operating carrier's scheduled weekly departures and the days it flies; where there is no nonstop service, connecting carriers are identified by linking scheduled nonstop segments through common hub airports. Where a median fare is shown for a carrier, it reflects the real fares Priceline users found on this route in the last 72 hours. Carrier service, flight times and distances for this route come from our flight-schedule database, which draws on published airline timetables, U.S. government schedule data, and observed operations from the EUROCONTROL/OpenSky Open Performance Data Initiative (OPDI). We report the days of the week and the departure times each carrier operates. 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. Distance is the great-circle distance between the two specific airports named, so an actual flown track is typically 2-5% longer. Where shown, on-time departure and arrival rates and cancellation rates come from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) Airline On-Time Performance dataset, which covers U.S. domestic routes only; where a typical fare is shown, it comes from the U.S. DOT Airline Origin and Destination Survey (DB1B), a quarterly 10% sample of tickets sold.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Mumbai?", "answer": "Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport offers taxis, app-based cabs (Uber, Ola), car rentals, auto-rickshaws, luxury AC buses, and mass transit via suburban trains and the Mumbai Metro. The fastest option is typically the Metro (Lines 1 and 7 connect to T1 and T2) or a pre-paid taxi, while app-based cabs are the most popular for door-to-door convenience. Suburban trains from nearby Vile Parle and Andheri stations provide a low-cost alternative but can be extremely crowded. Dedicated AC bus routes 312, 321, and 308 also link the terminals to railway stations and key areas. Overall, ride-sharing apps and metered taxis are the most used due to their balance of speed and ease.", "toolsUsed": [], "references": [ { "url": "https://airport-suppliers.com/airport/chhatrapati-shivaji-maharaj-international-airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport - Airport Suppliers", "time_published": "2025-08-21T08:29:33Z" }, { "url": "https://csmia-mumbai.adaniairports.com/en/airport-facilities/transport", "title": "Transport Facility at Mumbai Airport: Cabs, Taxi, Inter terminal Bus, Auto Rickshaw & more", "favicon": "https://csmia-mumbai.adaniairports.com/assets/mumbai/images/favicon-16x16.png" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?diff=1343053771&oldid=1340819388&title=Chhatrapati_Shivaji_Maharaj_International_Airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport: Difference between revisions - Wikipedia", "time_published": "2026-02-27T00:00:00Z" }, { "url": "https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chhatrapati_Shivaji_International_Airport", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport", "time_published": "2026-04-16T11:49:22Z" }, { "url": "https://civilaviation.gov.in/taxonomy/term/208", "title": "Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, Mumbai | Ministry of Civil Aviation", "time_published": "2026-04-30T11:04:08Z" } ], "methodology": "Airport details are drawn from the sources listed with this answer, primarily the airport operator's official website along with airline, lounge-operator and transit-authority pages, collected by our research process and refreshed periodically.
