The Mumbai to Hanoi air route connects Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM) to HANOI (HAN). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 5 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Mumbai and Hanoi. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many Indians travel from Mumbai to Hanoi for business, cultural exploration, and to experience Vietnam's natural beauty. Hanoi offers a blend of ancient temples, French-colonial architecture, and bustling street life. Expect a vibrant atmosphere with delicious food and friendly locals.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Hanoi is during the autumn months (September to November) or spring (March to April). The weather is mild and pleasant, avoiding the extreme heat and humidity of summer or the cold, drizzly winters. Tet, the Vietnamese Lunar New Year, usually falls in late January or February and is a vibrant time to visit, though expect closures and higher prices.
