Which airlines fly Mumbai to Srinagar non-stop?
IndiGo and Akasa Air run non-stops at the time of review, with frequencies rising in the April–June peak and thinning in winter. If your dates have no non-stop, connect through Delhi, which has many Srinagar flights a day. Keep both legs on one ticket so a delay on the first doesn't cost you the second.
Best flight timings
Book a morning departure. Srinagar's weather changes fast, and afternoon flights in winter are more likely to be delayed or cancelled by snow or poor visibility. Landing by noon also gets you onto a shikara on Dal Lake the same evening.
Baggage: what to expect
Both airlines include 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin on standard fares, with food for sale. Winter clothing is bulky, so wear your heaviest jacket and boots on the plane. Security at Srinagar is strict: there's a screening at the airport entry gate as well as inside the terminal, so reach 2.5–3 hours before your return flight.
Getting from Srinagar airport to the city
The airport is about 12 km from Dal Lake. A prepaid taxi to Boulevard Road or the houseboats takes 30–45 minutes and costs ₹800–1,200. Gulmarg is about 2 hours by road and Pahalgam 2.5–3 hours; most travellers book one car for the whole trip.
When to book and connecting options
Fares climb from April to June, for the tulip season and summer holidays, and over Christmas and New Year, when families head for snow in Gulmarg. November and February to early March are usually cheapest. Book 4–8 weeks ahead for peak dates. Via Delhi, the total journey is 5–7 hours.
Tips for families and seniors
Srinagar sits at about 1,585 m, so altitude isn't a concern, but winter nights drop below zero; pack thermals for children and older parents. Ask for wheelchair help at both ends, and keep your ticket handy for the airport gate check.
