Cheap Flights to Mumbai

Mumbai insider information

• Don’t be confused if you see a bunch of business suits on your flight to Mumbai: As the commercial capital of India, Mumbai plays host to the headquarters of several of India’s most important companies and handles one third of India’s total international trade.
• Looking for some pre-flight entertainment of your own before you board your flight to Mumbai?  Rent a Bollywood film: Bollywood, the unofficial name for the Hindi-language film industry, is based in Mumbai.  Bollywood films have received international acclaim for their multimillion-dollar productions, so check out popular titles like “A Wednesday” and “Mumbai Meri Jaan” before heading to India’s own version of Tinseltown.
• Visit Chowpatty Beach for a seaside experience that has nothing to do with typical beach adventures.  The sandy strip appears to be ideal for standard beach-going activities, but Chowpatty is really a waterfront carnival. Locals and visitors alike frequent the beach for its fast food and nighttime entertainment, and the exuberant atmosphere provides for an excellent last night out before your return Mumbai flight.
• History buffs heading to Mumbai shouldn’t miss a visit to Colaba, where the Gateway of India resides.  The Gateway of India was built to honour the visit to Mumbai of King George V and Queen Mary in 1911, and this splendid structure today provides countless photo-ops and spectacular views of the port of Mumbai. 
• If you’re looking to fill your carry-on with souvenirs before your return Mumbai flight, the Crawford Market, also known as the Mahatma Jyotiba Phule Market, is an excellent stop for the shopping savvy.  The Crawford Market is an overwhelming, vivid display of fruits, vegetables, textiles and antiques.  Buyer beware: the “antique” knick-knacks you’re shopping for may be knockoffs. Also, be aware of your surroundings as the stalls of the Crawdord Market, especially in the Chor Bazaar, are prime territory for pickpockets.
