About Mumbai
Mumbai is India's financial capital and most cosmopolitan city — extraordinary street food, Bollywood, and a bay that glitters at night.
Nine hours and increasingly competitive fares from European hubs as Air India's revamped long-haul product grows.
Business Class on this route
Lufthansa's long-haul Business Class features a full lie-flat seat, a wide selection of German and international cuisine, and one of the best pre-departure lounge experiences in Europe.
Why depart from Edinburgh?
Edinburgh Airport is Scotland's primary international gateway, with direct long-haul service growing year on year.
FareEngine scans European departure airports in real time specifically because fares from gateway hubs frequently undercut the equivalent Heathrow price by hundreds of pounds. The positioning flight — a short hop in economy — costs a fraction of the saving, and for many UK travellers it adds no more than an hour to the overall door-to-door journey time.
