Before You Fly
Things You Should Know Before Travelling to Mumbai
Before booking flights to Mumbai India, check these important requirements to make sure your journey runs smoothly from the UK
Travel Documents & Visa
UK travellers entering India need a passport valid for at least 6 months after arrival and at least 2 blank pages. Check your visa, passport, and transit documents before booking. Requirements can change, so always confirm the latest rules before travelling.

Best Time to Book
For busy periods such as Eid, Diwali, Christmas, Easter, summer holidays and wedding seasons, try to check fares early. Last-minute fares can be significantly higher when availability is limited during peak travel times.
Airport Arrival Timing
For international flights, arrive early enough for check-in, baggage drop, security and document checks. Allow extra time if travelling with children, large baggage, or during peak holiday and festival departure periods.
