How to Book Your IXM to BOM Flight

Terminal & Airline Updates for Madurai and Mumbai
Knowing your departure and arrival terminals saves time. Madurai has a single terminal, but Mumbai splits IndiGo flights between two terminals.
Madurai Departure and Mumbai Arrival
You will depart from the Integrated Terminal (Terminal 1) at Madurai Airport, which handles all domestic operations. The airport is located about 12 km from the city centre.
Upon arriving at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) in Mumbai, your terminal will depend on IndiGo's dynamic scheduling. IndiGo uses both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2 for domestic flights. For example, flight 6E 2527 from IXM often uses Terminal 2, but the exact terminal for all future IndiGo flights at BOM may vary. Always check with the airline.
All flights depart from this single passenger terminal.
IndiGo splits its domestic operations between these two terminals.
Baggage Allowances for the Madurai–Mumbai Route

IndiGo Standard and Lite Fares

The IndiGo Lite fare is a cabin-baggage only option. If you purchase this fare for your trip to Mumbai, you will not be allowed any free checked baggage. Verify your fare type before packing.

Common Mistakes on the Madurai to Mumbai Route
Avoid these frequent errors when travelling from southern Tamil Nadu to Maharashtra.
Weather and Terminal Assumptions
Assuming your flight will land at Terminal 1 in Mumbai is a common mistake. IndiGo operates out of both T1 and T2, and arriving at the wrong terminal to meet a driver can cause major delays.
Another mistake is ignoring the Mumbai monsoon season. From June to September, heavy rains frequently cause severe flight disruptions and delays at BOM. Plan for potential schedule changes during these months.
Key Takeaways for Madurai to Mumbai Travellers
- Check arrival terminal: IndiGo lands at both T1 and T2 in Mumbai.
- Monsoon delays: Expect potential disruptions between June and September.
