Flights Manila (MNL) → Mumbai (BOM)
0 nonstop carriers are catalogued on MNL–BOM; the corridor is flown as a connection, with a scheduled block of 8.0 hours. The cheapest one-way in our cache is ₱25,032. ₱25,032 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
This corridor carries a demand score of 1/10 in our route file and is flagged as a leisure, VFR and business corridor. Read that number for what it is: an editorial 1-10 ranking of estimated Filipino-language search interest, built for prioritising which pages we research first. It is not a passenger count, not a load factor, and not a quality signal about the airlines involved. High-scoring corridors are the ones where seats on the cheapest fare classes disappear first and where the gap between an early booking and a two-week-out booking is widest; low-scoring corridors tend to hold their price longer but give you fewer departures to choose from if a plan slips.
Manila to Mumbai is a business and leisure corridor flown with a connection rather than nonstop. The route serves business travellers and tourists between the Philippine capital and India’s financial capital. With no nonstop service, the journey is flown with a connection at a regional hub, pairing two international legs.
Airlines on this route
0 carriers are catalogued nonstop on MNL–BOM. The corridor is flown as a connection, normally through Manila, so the itinerary is built from two flights and the protection you get depends on whether they sit on one ticket. ₱25,032 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
The one choice that changes your exposure on a connecting Manila–Mumbai journey is whether you hold one ticket or two. Manila handled 50,100,000 passengers in 2024 (MIAA / NNIC), so the transfer happens inside a very busy building. On one ticket the carriers accept the connection as their problem: the bag is checked through to BOM, the minimum connecting time published for the airport is what protects you, and a delay on the domestic leg obliges the airline to move you onto the next available onward flight at no charge. On two separately bought tickets none of that holds. You collect the bag in Manila, clear out of the terminal, check in again from scratch, and if the first flight runs late the second airline is entitled to treat you as a no-show and keep the fare. The cheaper two-ticket combination is genuinely cheaper — right up to the first delay, at which point it costs more than the difference it saved.
No carrier flies Manila to Mumbai nonstop. Connecting itineraries route through a Southeast or East Asian hub, where carriers continue to Mumbai. A single through-ticket protects the connection and is the simpler option for travellers with checked baggage.
PHP fares
₱25,032 is the cheapest MNL–BOM one-way in this site’s fare cache, on Vietnam Airlines. It is a cache floor for one date and fare class, not a held quote. ₱25,032 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
That ₱25,032 is a cache reading, not a quote, and the difference is worth stating plainly. It is the lowest one-way price the fare feed returned for MNL–BOM at the moment it was polled, for one specific departure date, in one specific fare class. It is a single one-way observation rather than an average, and it is not held: the inventory behind it is thin and often gone within the day. Three things it also excludes: checked baggage where the carrier sells a bags-free base fare, seat selection, and any change or refund flexibility. Treat it as the floor of the range you should expect to see, then compare the all-in total once the bag you actually need is added back.
The combined PHP fare covers both legs. Prices climb around the Indian wedding season, the Diwali holidays and the December period — for those dates, booking two to three months ahead is sensible. For ordinary travel, six to nine weeks usually secures a reasonable combined fare.
About Mumbai
1 arrival airport serves this route: Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport (BOM), at Mumbai, India. ₱25,032 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02. 4 weekly fare snapshots are held for this pair, the most recent from 2026-W31.
On arrival you are landing at Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport, ICAO VABB, serving Mumbai, India. Worth checking before you compare two prices: the code is an airport, not a city. Multi-airport cities are common, the discount is usually attached to the inconvenient field, and the ground leg quietly reclaims both the money and the hour. Check which airport your fare actually lands at before you compare two prices, and if you are connecting onward from a different airport in the same city, treat that as a separate journey with its own buffer — no airline protects a connection that involves a taxi.
Mumbai is India’s financial and entertainment capital, a coastal megacity on the Arabian Sea with a long history of trade. For travellers from Manila it is most often a business destination and a gateway into western India, reached through a connection.
What 4 weeks of fare snapshots show on MNL–BOM
4 weekly snapshots between 2026-W19 and 2026-W31 put the cheapest MNL–BOM one-way between ₱13,622 and ₱29,340. The latest reading, 2026-W31, is ₱25,032. ₱25,032 is the lowest one-way the fare feed returned for this route on 2026-08-02.
We take one reading a week and keep it. Over 4 of them the low was ₱13,622 in 2026-W25 and the high ₱29,340 — a 2.2× swing on an unchanged route, which is the single most useful thing this series says. Week to week the last move was up ₱10,270 (70%) from 2026-W27 to 2026-W31. Method, so you can discount it properly: each point is the cheapest one-way the feed could see in that ISO week, not a booked price and not an average of the market, and a week where the poll caught a promotional seat reads lower than the week either side of it. Judge a fare against the band rather than any single point. A fare inside the lower third of that band is a good one on this pair; a fare above the top of it is worth re-checking a week later before you commit.
