Route · BOM → MAA
Flights from Mumbai to Chennai
The 1,034-kilometre hop between Mumbai's Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International and Chennai's Anna International is one of India's busiest domestic corridors, completing in a typical block time of around one hour and forty-one minutes with no time-zone change to worry about, since both cities share IST. IndiGo dominates seat capacity here and operates the route frequently across the day, with Air India, Air India Express, and SpiceJet providing meaningful competition on fares and schedules; narrowbody Airbus A320-family jets handle virtually all departures. A practical note worth flagging: Mumbai's Terminal 1 handles some low-cost services while Terminal 2 covers full-service carriers, so confirming your departure terminal before heading to the airport saves real stress during peak hours. Fare-wise, midweek departures — particularly Tuesday and Wednesday mornings — tend to yield the softest prices, while travel during the December holiday window and around Pongal in January typically pushes fares noticeably higher.
