Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is Mumbai’s primary international and domestic gateway, serving as a major hub for full-service carriers and many full-service and low-cost Indian airlines. Located about 20–25 km from South Mumbai (Colaba/Victoria Terminus area), transfer times by road can be 30–90 minutes depending on traffic; the dedicated fastest options include prepaid taxis, app cabs, and the airport express train which typically takes around 20–30 minutes to the city center with higher fares than buses. Pros: comprehensive facilities, many airline choices and frequent connections; cons: can be busy and congested, and surface transfers can be slow at peak times. Navi Mumbai’s upcoming Navi Mumbai International Airport (NMIA) is being developed as a secondary international hub to relieve Mumbai’s main airport and to provide better access for the eastern suburbs. It is farther from central South Mumbai—roughly 30–40 km depending on route—and should offer faster access to Navi Mumbai and Raigad areas; typical surface transfers are expected to include taxis, buses and future rail links with variable travel times. Pros: designed to ease capacity and improve connectivity for eastern suburbs; cons: will be less convenient for downtown Mumbai travelers until rail/road links mature and service patterns stabilize.

Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS) serves Varanasi as a modest international and regional gateway, typically handling a mix of domestic carriers and a few international/seasonal services. It is often used by full-service and low-cost Indian airlines, so fares can be competitive for short-haul routes. The airport lies about 25–30 km north of the city center; road transfers usually take 45–70 minutes depending on traffic, with taxi fares generally ranging from moderate metered rates to slightly higher fixed-price options for app taxis and private cars. There are also limited shared jeeps and occasional bus links. Pros: compact layout and relatively short queues at off-peak times. Cons: fewer direct international connections and basic terminal facilities compared with major hubs.
