The return leg also takes 3 hours 15 minutes, so there is no meaningful difference between directions.", "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.

Mumbai also has a well-developed public transit network: the Mumbai Metro (nearest stations CSMIA Airport T2, T1, Marol Naka, and Sahar Road) and suburban railway (Vile Parle East for domestic, Andheri East for international) provide efficient, affordable access to the city center and beyond. BEST buses connect the airport to railway stations and key districts, while air-conditioned luxury buses serve Thane, Andheri, BKC, Navi Mumbai, and Colaba. Auto rickshaws are available for shorter trips within the suburbs, and car rentals are offered at the airport for those who prefer to drive themselves.
