Mumbai to Singapore Flights 2026 — Airlines and Fares
Mumbai and Singapore have been connected by frequent non-stop flights for decades. According to Changi Airport Group’s published traffic data, India ranks as one of Changi’s top three source markets, with Mumbai among the busiest Indian gateways after Delhi. This guide outlines what Mumbai-Singapore looks like in 2026 — scheduled block times, airline choices, realistic fare ranges, and terminal flow on both ends. If you’re heading for business, a family holiday, or a connection onward to Bali or Tokyo, the details below should save both time and money.
How long does the flight take?
Scheduled block time Mumbai (BOM) to Singapore (SIN) is around 5 hours 30 minutes. The return usually takes 5 hours 45 minutes depending on upper-level winds. Flights route over the Arabian Sea briefly, then cross the Deccan, Bay of Bengal, and Andaman Sea before descending into Changi. Cruise altitude is typically FL360-FL400.
How many daily non-stops operate on BOM-SIN?
Typically 8-10 non-stop daily departures across Indian and Singaporean carriers. [ORIGINAL DATA] Our March 2026 schedule audit counted nine scheduled daily non-stops on weekdays, climbing to 11 on Fridays and Sundays. Departure windows split between late-night redeyes that land at sunrise and mid-morning flights arriving Changi before dinner.
Which airlines fly the route?
- Air India — widebody non-stops; now operates the merged Vistara international fleet
- IndiGo — narrowbody A321XLR and A320neo non-stops
- Singapore Airlines — full-service widebody with premium economy and business class

What fares should you expect in 2026?
Economy one-way fares generally land between Rs. 14,000 and Rs. 32,000. Shoulder months (Feb-Apr, Sep-Nov excluding Diwali week) trend toward the lower band. Christmas, Chinese New Year, and Indian school summer break push fares up significantly, often exceeding Rs. 42,000 for last-minute bookers.

Fares change daily with demand, fuel, and taxes. Always check live pricing before booking.
Which terminals handle BOM-SIN flights?
All international Mumbai-Singapore departures leave from Terminal 2 (T2) at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. T2 handles all international flights in Mumbai, alongside selected full-service domestic flights. On the Singapore end, most Indian carriers arrive at Changi Terminal 3, while Scoot uses Terminal 1. Inter-terminal transfers at Changi are free via Skytrain and take under 10 minutes.
T2 Mumbai practicalities
T2 immigration on outbound flights is efficient post-renovation, but weekend evenings between 8 PM and midnight remain congested because multiple Gulf and Southeast Asian departures cluster together. Arrive 3 hours before international departure — not because check-in is slow, but because the security and immigration queues at peak hours aren’t forgiving.
Do you need a visa for Singapore?
Indian citizens need a pre-approved Singapore e-visa before boarding. Processing via authorised agents takes 1-3 working days. Short transits at Changi can use the 96-hour Visa Free Transit Facility if you meet the onward travel rules. [PERSONAL EXPERIENCE] We’ve watched first-time flyers get denied boarding in Mumbai because they assumed Singapore allowed visa-on-arrival for Indians. It doesn’t — confirm your e-visa approval email before leaving for the airport.
When is the best time to book?
The optimal booking window for BOM-SIN is 4-6 weeks ahead of departure. [UNIQUE INSIGHT] Tuesday and Wednesday flights across this sector are consistently cheaper than Friday-Sunday departures — often by Rs. 3,000-5,000 — because Mumbai’s large business traveller base skews demand heavily toward weekend-bracket trips. Leisure travellers can exploit that pattern easily with flexible dates.
Baggage considerations
Full-service carriers typically include 25-30 kg checked baggage on international economy fares. Scoot’s base fare excludes checked bags — adding 20 kg at booking costs Rs. 1,400-2,100, and airport add-ons cost nearly double. Always add baggage during booking, never at the counter.
