Ahmedabad or Mumbai?
Ahmedabad is Gujarat’s main international airport and the closest gateway for many families in the state. Flying into Mumbai and continuing by domestic flight, train or road is a common alternative, and sometimes works out cheaper or more flexible.
We’ll quote both so you can compare the full journey. See our Mumbai flights page for how that route works.
Festivals and family occasions
Many Gujarati families plan around Navratri in the autumn, Diwali and the Gujarati New Year, the Uttarayan kite festival in mid-January, and the winter wedding season. Flights on these dates are in demand, so ask early and tell us how many dates you can move.
