Your guide to booking Mumbai to Colombo Bandaranaike Intl Airport flights

Get tips on when to book, when to fly and what to know before your trip.
  • If your dates are flexible, aim for a Monday departure and avoid flying on Saturday. On this route, Monday flights average $270, about $19 less than Saturday fares (7% savings) based on the last 12 months.
  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 25 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 17% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Mumbai to Colombo Bandaranaike Intl Airport trip for January. Fares historically average $264 round-trip in that month - typically $52 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).
  • For the best chance of arriving on time, fly with IndiGo. Over the past three months, 89% of IndiGo flights from Mumbai to Colombo Bandaranaike Intl Airport arrived on time, slightly above the route average of 65%. When flights on this route arrive late, they're delayed by an average of 2h, so choosing an airline with strong on-time performance can make a difference if you're on a tight schedule.
  • Non-stop flights from Mumbai to Colombo can be easily found with regional airlines like SriLankan Airlines and Jet Airways, but if you book last-minute – or you’d simply like the cheapest flight possible – you may end up with a layover in Chennai. Flights into Colombo arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport, which is about 32 kilometres north of the city centre.
  • Experiencing pre-flight hunger? Mumbai Airport offers travellers a long list of dining options to refuel before boarding begins. You can grab a cup of tea or coffee, some quick regional snacks, pre-packaged options from duty-free or full meals at the airport restaurants found in all areas of Mumbai Airport’s terminals.
  • To escape the noise and bustle of the departure gates, you can kick back and relax in one of Mumbai Airport’s six lounge areas. Accessing these areas requires different flight tiers and memberships from lounge to lounge, but many also offer access with the purchase of a single-entry pass.
  • Connecting to the city centre after your flight from Mumbai to Colombo can be done in a handful of different ways. For those who wish to choose the economical option, public transport can get you into Colombo city centre in about 25 minutes. Fares for Colombo’s expressway bus system start at approximately 120 LKR (INR 47).
  • If you would prefer to have your own vehicle with which to explore Colombo and the neighbouring cities, you can rent a car through one of the many agencies operating within Colombo and have them pick you up at the airport. Be sure to book through a reputable car rental agency before your trip to guarantee availability.
