Chhatrapati S Maharaj BOM
Flights from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport, the one travellers know as BOM, cover a wide spread of Europe and the wider region. The airport sits in Mumbai, India, within the city's northern suburbs rather than out in the countryside, so you are inside the city from the moment you land. Long-haul and connecting traffic shares the runways: non-stop and one-stop services link Mumbai with Warsaw, Istanbul, Chisinau, Budapest, Baku, Athens, Paris and Vienna, and onward connections through hub airports cover everything else.

Getting to the city
Getting into Mumbai from the airport is easiest by taxi or app-based cab, picked up outside arrivals. Prepaid taxi counters inside the terminal let you settle the fare before you set off, which takes the guesswork out of the ride. Airport buses reach several parts of the city for less, but they are slower and stop often. If you travel light, the suburban rail network has stations close to the airport, though you will still need a short auto-rickshaw hop to the terminal. Allow extra time in the morning and evening rush, when the roads slow to a crawl.
