Chennai International Airport (MAA) is the city’s main international gateway and a major South Indian hub, handling both full-service carriers and several low-cost airlines on regional and long-haul routes. It sits about 15–20 km south of the city centre, with road transfers typically taking 30–60 minutes depending on traffic; app taxis and prepaid airport cabs are common (fares vary with distance and surge), while the suburban rail and forthcoming metro extensions can be quicker during peak hours. Flights to Chennai can be competitively priced on budget carriers but premium carriers also operate key routes. Pros: good connectivity and modern terminals; cons: traffic delays and occasional peak-time crowding.

Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is Mumbai’s main international and domestic hub, handling the bulk of full-service carriers and many international long-haul flights while also serving budget airlines. It sits about 8–16 km from south and central city districts, with travel times typically 25–60 minutes depending on traffic; road taxis and app-based cabs are common, and the Mumbai Metro and suburban rail connections can be faster during peak congestion (fares vary by operator and distance). Pros: modern terminals, a wide range of lounges and services, and excellent connectivity. Cons: can be crowded at peak times and road links may be slow during rush hour. Juhu Aerodrome (VAJJ) is a small heliport and general aviation field primarily used for private flights and helicopter services rather than scheduled commercial routes. It’s located very close to the city’s western suburbs, often under 10–20 minutes from central areas depending on traffic, with private transfers or charter arrangements being the norm and pricing set case-by-case. Pros: close proximity and fast access for business or VIP transfers. Cons: limited facilities and virtually no commercial airline service, so it’s not an option for regular travellers.

In different months, ticket prices from Chennai to Mumbai vary: minimum — $47 (January 2026), maximum — $51 (November 2025). Typically, the flight costs $50–$102.
