How to Book Your Mumbai to Chandigarh Flight Ticket
When booking a Mumbai to Chandigarh flight ticket, consider airline fare families and potential weather disruptions.
Fare Types and Seasonal Weather
Airlines now unbundle their tickets. IndiGo offers a Lite Fare if you only carry a cabin bag. Air India sells a Basic fare that includes a check-in bag but removes the free meal.
Weather plays a major role on this route. Winter fog in Chandigarh frequently causes flight delays or cancellations between December and February. Similarly, monsoon rains in Mumbai from June to September can disrupt departures.
Terminal & Airline Updates for BOM and IXC
Knowing your departure terminal at Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (BOM) is critical because operations are split. All flights arrive at Shaheed Bhagat Singh International Airport (IXC) Terminal 1.
Mumbai Departure Terminals
Air India operates its domestic flights from Terminal 2. IndiGo, however, operates domestic flights from both Terminal 1 and Terminal 2. Exact terminal assignments for IndiGo at BOM can vary by flight number, so you must verify your specific terminal with the airline before departure.
Looking ahead, IndiGo and Air India plan to shift some flights to the new Navi Mumbai International Airport starting late 2026 or 2027 due to Mumbai T1 redevelopment.
Chandigarh Arrival Terminal
Chandigarh Airport uses a single integrated Terminal 1 for all domestic and international flights. The airport is located 11 to 14 km from the city centre.

Baggage Allowances for Mumbai to Chandigarh Routes
Both airlines offer standard baggage allowances, but their budget ticket options have different rules.
Cabin and Check-in Limits
The standard allowance on both IndiGo and Air India is 7 kg for cabin baggage and 15 kg for check-in baggage. If you book IndiGo's Lite Fare, you are only permitted the 7 kg cabin bag. Air India does not offer a cabin-only fare; even their lowest Basic fare includes the 15 kg check-in bag.
| Airline | Cabin Bag | Check-in (Standard Fare) | Lite / Cabin-only Fare | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo | 7 kg | 15 kg | Yes (cabin bag only) | Lite fare removes check-in baggage. |
| Air India | 7 kg | 15 kg | No cabin-only fare | Basic fare includes 15 kg bag but excludes meals. |
Excess Baggage: Check the official airline website for excess baggage fees and policies.
Common Mistakes on the Mumbai to Chandigarh Route
Avoid these frequent errors when flying from Mumbai to Chandigarh.
Terminal Confusion and Weather Ignorance
The most common mistake is assuming all IndiGo flights depart from Mumbai Terminal 1. Because IndiGo splits its operations between T1 and T2, going to the wrong building can cause you to miss your flight.
Another error is ignoring seasonal weather. Booking early morning flights into Chandigarh during December or January often leads to severe fog delays. High travel demand during Diwali and major festival periods can also affect availability.
Key Takeaways for Mumbai to Chandigarh Travellers
- Terminal Check: Verify your BOM terminal for IndiGo flights.
- Winter Travel: Avoid morning arrivals in Chandigarh during fog season.
Advice for Different Travellers to Chandigarh

Tourists Heading to Himachal
If you are using Chandigarh as a gateway to Shimla or Manali, arriving earlier in the day is safer. CTU AC buses connect the airport to ISBT-17 and ISBT-43, where you can catch onward mountain transport.
