Timezone note
Mumbai is 5.5 hours ahead of London. Evening departures land early morning Mumbai time.
About this route
London to Mumbai is served by 3+ daily direct flights from Heathrow. BA, Air India, and Virgin Atlantic operate the route, with most departures in the evening (9-11pm UK time), landing Mumbai around 10am-noon local time. That is 4:30-6:30am UK time. Like the Delhi route, you are typically asleep at landing time.
Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) Terminal 2 handles all international flights. The terminal was extensively renovated and features impressive art installations. From landing to exit is typically 30-45 minutes. Immigration queues can be long during peak morning arrival times when multiple long-haul flights land simultaneously between 9-11am.
Mumbai's traffic is among the world's worst. The Western Express Highway and Eastern Express Highway connecting the airport to South Mumbai can take 60-120 minutes depending on the time of day. A landing alert gives family members critical lead time to leave for the airport. The Mumbai Metro Line 1 provides some relief but does not yet connect directly to the international terminal.
The 5.5-hour timezone offset is the same as Delhi (India uses a single timezone without daylight saving). Return flights to London depart Mumbai late evening or early morning, arriving Heathrow between 5-8am UK time. Early morning Heathrow arrivals are useful for those continuing on to UK domestic connections.
