About the New York to Mumbai route
New York to Mumbai is the longest regular nonstop from the city, on Air India from JFK and Newark and United from Newark. Most travellers fly it one-stop through the Gulf or Europe, which often costs much less and adds four to six hours. An agent prices the nonstops and the connections side by side for your dates and reads the total with two bags included where the fare allows.
- Gulf carriers versus nonstop
- Qatar, Etihad and Emirates run many daily connections to Mumbai. The fare difference against the nonstop is sometimes large enough to pay for the hotel. An agent reads both.
- Arrivals are late at night
- Many Mumbai arrivals land between midnight and 3 am. If that matters, say so, and an agent can look for a daytime arrival.
