About this place
Mumbai is India's financial powerhouse and a major international gateway, with Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport linking the city to destinations across the globe. The airport itself reflects the city's dual character: a sprawling facility with two distinct commercial terminals set several kilometers apart, one handling most domestic budget carriers and the other serving international and full-service domestic flights.
For arriving travelers, the airport offers a genuine introduction to Mumbai's energy. Ground transportation options range from prepaid taxis to the new Aqua metro line that connects the terminals, though navigating between them can require a lengthy shuttle transfer and a re-clearance of security. Plan ahead — this is a busy airport where patience and preparation pay off.

Best Time to Visit
- Late January through mid-March — the most comfortable season, with dry conditions, moderate average temperatures around 25.2°C, and low cloud cover, ideal for first-time visitors adjusting to Mumbai's climate.
- Early winter (November–December) — generally pleasant weather, though temperatures can climb higher and rain tapers off gradually after the monsoon.
- Avoid monsoon months (June–September) — persistent heavy rainfall can disrupt ground transport and limit sightseeing options beyond airport transfers.

Planning Tips
- Prepaid taxis are safest — head to an official coupon counter upon exiting the terminal; check the fare upfront and note the registration number before boarding.
- Baggage scam awareness — resist anyone offering to carry your luggage to a cart and requesting a fee; there is no official baggage charge.
- Allow extra time for terminal changes — the free shuttle bus between T1 and T2 exits the airport and the transfer process can take hours when you factor in security re-clearance.
- Check your currency notes — older ₹500 notes may no longer be valid, so inspect any change you receive carefully.
