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.

Together they offer about 19 non‑stop departures a day, with IndiGo alone operating up to 11 daily flights including late‑evening red‑eyes that depart between 22:40 and 23:55.

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. Red-eye flights are identified from scheduled local departure and arrival times in our flight-schedule database — built from published airline timetables and official schedule data, including U.S. Department of Transportation records for domestic routes — flagging services that depart late at night and arrive the following morning; for connecting itineraries the red-eye is based on the timing of the overnight long-haul leg.", "toolsUsed": [ "route_airlines", "flight_schedule", "redeye_flights" ] }, "q3": { "question": "What are the ground transportation options in Mumbai?", "answer": "From Mumbai Airport (BOM), taxis and app-based ride services like Uber and Ola are the most popular and fastest way to reach the city center, with dedicated pickup zones at both terminals. The new Mumbai Metro Line 3 connects directly to the airport terminals, offering a quick and modern mass transit option that avoids road traffic. Suburban trains are available from nearby Vile Parle and Andheri stations, providing a very cheap but often crowded alternative. Air-conditioned luxury buses with live tracking serve key business districts, while local BEST buses offer the most economical but slowest option. For most travelers, a prepaid taxi or ride-share is the most-used choice due to convenience and door-to-door service.", "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.

Public buses operated by the Kadamba Transport Corporation connect the airport to Margao, Vasco, and Panjim, but service can be infrequent and crowded — the bus is the cheapest option.
