Cheap flights to Mumbai (Bombay)

Hectic, glamorous, poor, chaotic, crowded, busy and ostentatious: this is Mumbai. Mumbai (formerly Bombay) is the true city of contrasts. From the poverty of the slums – recently portrayed in Slumdog Millionaire – to the ostentation of Bollywood, this is a city of extremes. Many travellers booking flights to Mumbai will be keen to see the main tourist sites: Chowpatty Beach, the Gateway of India and the Gothic railway station. But on arrival from Mumbai flights, take the time to explore the other side of the city. More than half of the population live in the slums. Though a difficult place to visit, this is one experience that will last a lifetime. The city can get unbearably hot during the summer months, but if you can stand the heat this is the best time to find cheap Mumbai flights.
