Why travel by plane from New York to Mumbai?
Traveling from New York to the Indian city of Mumbai is only possible by plane, thanks to the large number of countries (including those in Europe, Africa and the Middle East) between the two cities. Fortunately, there are plenty of non-stop and connecting flights available to transport passengers to their destination city of Mumbai from New York: with an approximate flight time of 14h 45m, Air India and United Airlines operate the direct flights available from New York to Mumbai. Non-stop flights depart from New York's Newark Liberty International Airport, and touch down in Chhatrapati Shivaji International Airport in Mumbai.
What is there to see and do in Mumbai?
Once known as Bombay, the Indian coastal city of Mumbai is the country's largest metropolis. The Gateway of India – a large, arch shaped landmark built in 1924 overlooking Mumbai Harbor - is one of the most iconic architectural sites in Mumbai, and a must-see in the city. Elsewhere in the city, examples of colonial architecture can be found in buildings such as the Prince of Wales Museum and the Bombay High Court. Away from historic landmarks in Mumbai, travelers with kids may enjoy the EsselWorld amusement park.
