Mumbai to Delhi flights today & tonight
Density works in your favour here. With around 43 BOM–DEL departures a day, there is almost always another aircraft an hour or two behind the one you just missed — so a same-day booking on this sector is less about hunting for a seat than about picking one you can physically reach. Seats stay on sale until the airline’s check-in cutoff, typically 60 minutes before a domestic departure; tonight’s live prices are in the search above. Give yourself extra buffer for the evening run to the airport, and double-check whether you are flying from Terminal 1 or Terminal 2 before you leave.

About Mumbai and Delhi
Roughly 1,150 km separate Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International (BOM) from Indira Gandhi International (DEL), and the four carriers on this page put about 43 departures a day into that gap. This is the northbound leg — the financial capital heading to the national capital, carrying the meetings, hearings, approvals and family runs that pull people out of Mumbai and into Delhi. On the country's densest domestic corridor a seat is almost always available at short notice; it is almost never cheap.
Mumbai
Start with the terminal, because at BOM it is not a detail you can fix at the last minute. Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International runs two separate buildings — Terminal 1 at Santacruz and Terminal 2 at Sahar — and they are far enough apart that arriving at the wrong one costs you a shuttle ride and, on a tight turnaround, the flight itself. Terminal assignment on this route varies by airline and by flight, so read the boarding pass rather than assuming. The other Mumbai-specific hazard is the ground leg: departures cluster into a morning and an evening band, and the evening band collides with the city's worst road traffic, so for a 19:00 departure the honest question is not whether the seat exists but whether you can reach the terminal in time to use it.
Delhi
A 2h 10m block from Mumbai means the arrival time, not the fare, usually decides which flight is the right one. Indira Gandhi International (DEL) spreads domestic flights across more than one terminal, so confirm yours before you promise anyone a pickup time. Landing before roughly 10:00 gives you a usable working morning in Gurugram or central Delhi; land in the evening rush and the drive in can rival the flight for length. Two things worth planning around: Delhi's December and January fog can push morning departures and arrivals off schedule with little warning, and the 17:00–21:00 evening band — the busiest departure window on this sector alongside the early morning — is where fares sit highest, particularly on Fridays and Sundays.
The Indian domestic fare calendar (all routes)
Be clear about what this is: a general month-by-month picture of demand pressure across Indian domestic flying, not a measured BOM–DEL price series. We publish it as background context only. For what Mumbai to Delhi actually costs on your date, the live search above is the honest answer.
General seasonality, not route data
These bars describe the broad domestic-network pattern — the months when Indian air travel as a whole is calm, busy, or squeezed. They are not derived from Mumbai–Delhi bookings, and a single BOM–DEL departure can sit anywhere against this line depending on urgency, airline inventory, and departure slot.
What genuinely drives a Mumbai to Delhi fare is the specific departure slot you pick and how close to takeoff you book — both visible in the search above.
How to read the chart
Cheapest days to fly Mumbai to Delhi
Departure day matters more than booking day. Tuesday and Wednesday flights typically cost 25-40% less than Friday-Sunday on this route.
Airlines flying BOM to DEL
Four carriers fly BOM–DEL non-stop, and IndiGo alone accounts for close to six in every ten of the roughly 43 daily departures — which is why a sold-out sector is rare here even at short notice, and why the practical choice is usually about departure slot rather than airline.
| Airline | Flights/day | Direct duration | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo (6E) | ~25 daily | ~2h 10m | ₹5,696 |
| Air India (AI) | ~10 daily | ~2h 10m | ₹7,676 |
| Akasa Air (QP) | ~5 daily | ~2h 10m | ₹6,952 |
| SpiceJet (SG) | ~3 daily | ~2h 10m | ₹7,386 |

Mumbai to Delhi Flight Guide
Route at a glance. 1,150 km, about 2h 10min in the air, roughly 43 non-stop departures a day across IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet. Departures stack up in two bands — 06:00–10:00 and 17:00–21:00 — and both are shaped by the same commuter-style business traffic that defines this corridor. The quiet middle of the day is where the calmer fares live.
When to book. For mid-week travel, fares are typically softest 14–21 days out. Friday evening and Sunday slots run 30–60% above the weekday average on this sector. Inside three days of departure the direction reverses and prices climb rather than fall — there is no fire sale on a route this full. What we can do is scan all four carriers live, surface the lowest seat still genuinely available, and issue a confirmed PNR fast.
A note on seasonality. We do not publish a Mumbai–Delhi seasonal fare series, because we have no per-route historical dataset good enough to stand behind. The broad domestic pattern above is the best general guide we can offer. On BOM–DEL specifically, the lever we can point to with confidence is the day and time you fly — the table above shows how much that alone moves the number.

Tushar's note on Mumbai to Delhi
I founded Tatkal Flights specifically for travellers booking inside the 48-hour window before departure, and Mumbai to Delhi is one of the routes where that window matters most. On most Indian routes the cheapest fare buckets sell out first, so the closer you get to departure the higher the price usually climbs — last-minute is rarely cheaper. What we do instead is compare live fares across every airline the moment you search — including unpublished and network fares a single portal may not show — and get you the lowest seat still available, with a confirmed airline PNR in minutes. Booking inside 24–72 hours, the real win isn't a magic low price; it's a confirmed seat on the earliest workable flight without overpaying.
Two practical notes from watching this route closely: (1) Friday-evening departures on Mumbai to Delhi tend to price noticeably higher than the Tuesday-morning departure on the same week, so if your travel date is flexible by a day or two the savings are real. (2) The "non-refundable" tag on the cheapest fare bucket has a specific definition under DGCA rules — if the airline cancels or reschedules by more than 2 hours, you're owed a full refund regardless of bucket. I keep the DGCA refund-rights guide updated each quarter for that reason.
