Cheap flights from Mumbai to Dubai

October is named the cheapest month on this route, so start your search there, then use the price calendar to check your actual dates. With fares shown for every month of the year, you can compare quieter weeks against school holidays, Eid and the Christmas-New Year period, and decide whether a direct or connecting itinerary suits your timing. If your dates are flexible, look at both direct and one-stop options across adjacent weeks, since small date shifts can move you between fare buckets; midweek and weekend departures are both worth pricing.

Low-cost fares on this route are sold by Spicejet Ltd., Indigo, Fly Dubai and Jazeera Airways, while Air India, Emirates, Gulf Air, Kuwait Airways and Oman Air operate full-service tickets; Air India Charters runs its own fare rules. Direct flights exist, but many itineraries connect, so the ticket's fare basis matters more than the badge: low-cost prices usually exclude checked bags, seat selection and meals, which are added later, whereas full-service fares more often fold them in. Check the operating carrier for each leg, since a codeshare or partner flight can carry different baggage and change rules even within one booking.

The three arrival points listed for Dubai are not interchangeable: Al Maktoum Int. Airport and the Dubai airport differ in scale and distance from the centre, and Dubai Bus Station is a separate facility used for coach connections rather than flights. That means the terminal named on your ticket shapes both your wait on arrival and your ride into town, with a quieter, smaller field usually trading a shorter queue for a longer road transfer. From any of them, arrange transport before you land if you arrive late, check whether your hotel is better served from one airport than the other, and keep your documents and a payment card to hand for the first hour after touchdown.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Check passport validity and visa rules for the United Arab Emirates before you pay, since entry requirements differ by nationality.
• Confirm which Dubai airport your ticket names, because the three listed arrival points are not the same place.
• Weigh baggage on low-cost fares before checkout, since checked bags, seats and meals are usually sold separately.
• If your itinerary connects on separate tickets, allow extra transfer time and re-check your bags yourself.
• Compare October with your travel month in the price calendar, since the cheapest month may not fit your dates.
• Recheck fares near departure if you travel over school holidays or the Christmas-New Year period.
