Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is Mumbai’s main international and domestic gateway, serving as a major hub for full-service carriers and many international airlines alongside low-cost operators. Located about 20–25 km north of the city center in Santacruz/Sahar, travel times to south Mumbai can be 30–60 minutes by road depending on traffic; the Mumbai Suburban Railway and metro extensions, plus taxis and app-based cabs, offer alternatives with fares that typically range from modest local train tickets to moderate taxi or ride-hail costs. The airport is well-equipped with lounges, shopping and transit connections, making it convenient for long-haul and connecting passengers, though traffic congestion and peak-hour crowds can reduce comfort and add transit time.
Nairobi is served primarily by Jomo Kenyatta International Airport (NBO) and the smaller Wilson Airport (WIL). Jomo Kenyatta is the country’s main international gateway and a regional hub for full-service carriers and several African and long-haul airlines; it’s often the port of entry for most international visitors and can be perceived as mid-range to premium on fares depending on carrier. The terminal sits about 18–20 km southeast of the city centre, reachable by taxi or rideshare in roughly 30–50 minutes (fares vary) or by airport shuttle and private transfer. Wilson, about 5–7 km from downtown, caters to domestic and regional light aircraft operations and low-cost/charter services, typically offering quicker turnarounds and shorter commutes but with more limited amenities. Pros: good international connectivity at Jomo Kenyatta and fast regional hops from Wilson. Cons: peak-time traffic and variable service levels can affect transfer times and comfort.
