Quick answer: can I fly non-stop from Toronto to Mumbai?

Non-stop or one-stop: what flies from Toronto to Mumbai
Many families flying from Toronto to Mumbai have had to connect somewhere. This winter there is a non-stop option. Air India has announced a seasonal non-stop service, flying on Wednesdays, Fridays and Sundays. For many people it means one long flight instead of two, and no connection to worry about.
Airline schedules have moved around a lot in 2026, so treat this as a guide and check live options before you book. Here is how your choices compare.
Option | How it works | Good for |
Non-stop (seasonal) | Air India, YYZ to BOM, 3 times a week, 25 Oct 2026 to 26 Mar 2027 | Young kids, elderly parents, anyone who wants the shortest trip |
One-stop via Delhi | Air India’s daily Toronto to Delhi non-stop, then a short domestic flight to Mumbai | More travel dates to choose from, or visiting family in both cities |
One-stop via another hub | Several airlines connect through Europe and other hubs | Flexible travellers comparing fares. Some routes changed this year, so ask us what is running |
Flight times. Reported schedules show the Toronto departure at 12:30 pm, landing in Mumbai at 2:10 pm the next day. The return leaves Mumbai at 4:00 am and lands in Toronto at 10:00 am the same day. That is about 15 hours going and about 16 and a half hours coming back. Mumbai is 10 and a half hours ahead of Toronto once the clocks go back in November. Always go by the times on your own ticket.

6 tips for a smoother Toronto to Mumbai trip
1. Pick your days first
The non-stop only flies three days a week. Choose your day, then work your leave and school dates around it. If those days don’t suit, a one-stop trip through Delhi gives you more choice.
2. Book December early
December is when school breaks, Christmas holidays and wedding season all meet. The cheaper seats go first. If you are planning a winter trip, read our guide to Christmas flights to India from Canada.
3. Check your baggage allowance before you pack
Allowances depend on the airline, the cabin and the fare type. On a one-stop trip, the domestic leg may have different rules. Check your ticket before you buy gifts, and weigh your bags at home. It saves stress at the Pearson counter.
4. Get your visa or OCI sorted early
Canadian passport holders need an Indian visa or an OCI card. Apply through the official Indian visa website well before you fly, and check the latest entry rules there.
5. Plan around the early-morning return
The return from Mumbai leaves at 4:00 am. That means leaving home around midnight. Tell the family, book a car, and rest the evening before.
6. Students and teachers: use MannPass
Verified students and education staff in Canada can join MannPass for free. It takes CAD $25 off selected return flights between Canada and India. It is valid for 30 days, renewable, and can’t be combined with other offers.
Arriving in Mumbai with family
You land after a long flight, often tired, sometimes with little ones or grandparents. A little planning makes the first hour much easier.
Book everyone on one booking. It keeps seats together and makes changes simpler.
Ask for help at the airport. Travelling with elderly parents? Ask us about wheelchair assistance and special meals when you book.
Arrange your pickup before you fly. Mumbai traffic is heavy, especially in the afternoon when the non-stop lands. Share your flight number with whoever is collecting you.
Carry some rupees and a working phone. Sort out a local SIM or roaming before you leave Canada, so you can call family as soon as you land.
Need a hotel for the first night? If family lives outside the city, a night near the airport can help everyone rest. See our hotels page.
