What BOM to SGN looks like
The BOM to SGN sector, the carriers on it and the flying time, before anything is promised to anybody.
Mumbai BOM to Ho Chi Minh City SGN is a long haul sector of 3,737 km by great circle, flown nonstop about once a day.
At the cruise speed this site models for 3,737 km, 880 km an hour, and thirty minutes of taxi at the two ends, the flight blocks at about 5h 00m.
Mumbai BOM is a large airport in the network held here, 106 scheduled destinations and 372.3 departures a day. Ho Chi Minh City SGN has 77 destinations and 380.1 departures a day.
Ho Chi Minh City is 1.5 hours ahead of Mumbai all year.
The pair sits inside Asia Pacific, a corridor where the site already publishes 16 written lanes that go into customs and ground detail this page does not.
Who flies the sector, and how often
Average daily frequencies on BOM to SGN from the scheduled route statistics, both directions, with the operating carriers named.
| Direction | Flights a day | Flights a week | Operated by |
|---|---|---|---|
| BOM to SGN | 1.71 | 12 | VietJetAir, Vietnam Airlines |
| SGN to BOM | 0.86 | 6 | Vietnam Airlines, VietJetAir |
Two carriers hold the sector, VietJetAir and Vietnam Airlines, which gives a missed departure somewhere to go without leaving the nonstop.
The two directions are not level: BOM to SGN runs about once a day, the return runs 6 times a week, and a round trip has to be planned around the thinner of the two.
Between them the two directions put about 18 departures a week on BOM to SGN, which is the number that decides whether a seat can be found today or on Thursday.
The clock from collection to signature
The same ground timings the route calculator starts from, applied to the 5h 00m block time on BOM to SGN. Change any of them in the tool further down and the total moves with them.
| Stage | Allowed | Elapsed |
|---|---|---|
| Collection and the run to BOM | 90 min | 1h 30m |
| At BOM before departure | 180 min | 4h 30m |
| BOM to SGN in the air, estimated | 300 min | 9h 30m |
| Formalities at SGN | 90 min | 11h 00m |
| Delivery run in Ho Chi Minh City | 45 min | 11h 45m |
| Door to door | 705 min | 11h 45m |
On the desk standard ground timings, ninety minutes to collect and reach the airport, three hours at the airport before departure, ninety minutes of arrival formalities and a forty five minute delivery run, the door to door figure for BOM to SGN is 11h 45m.
A courier who leaves Mumbai at 09:00 local is on the ground in Ho Chi Minh City at about 15:30 local and at the door by 17:45 the same day.
Working backwards from a six in the evening handover in Ho Chi Minh City, the last useful departure from Mumbai is around 09:15 local.
When the nonstop does not work
Every airport that joins the two ends, ranked by when they land, among the ones whose weaker leg is dependable enough to plan on. Connection time is allowed for the size of the hub. 21 of them join BOM to SGN.
| Connecting at | BOM to hub, flights a day | Hub to SGN, flights a day | Track, km | Estimated, gate to gate |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bangkok DMK | 0.57 | 3.43 | 3,750 | 6h 42m |
| Phuket HKT | 1.71 | 1.86 | 3,965 | 6h 51m |
| Bangalore BLR | 29.43 | 0.71 | 3,992 | 6h 52m |
| Bangkok BKK | 5.86 | 13.86 | 3,747 | 6h 57m |
| Hanoi HAN | 2 | 76.86 | 4,600 | 7h 38m |
| Colombo CMB | 3.57 | 0.71 | 4,492 | 7h 44m |
One nonstop a day means one chance a day, so the connections below are what a consignment that arrives at BOM in the afternoon actually flies on.
21 airports connect the two ends on the scheduled network held here. The quickest of the dependable ones is Bangkok DMK, where the weaker of the two legs still runs 4 times a week.
Through DMK the routing covers 3,750 km against the 3,737 km nonstop track and takes about 6h 42m in the air and on the ground at the hub, allowing 60 minutes to connect at an airport of that size.
That is only 1h 42m more than the nonstop, which is close enough that a connection is worth taking when the nonstop is full or badly timed.
Behind it, Phuket HKT at 6h 51m and Bangalore BLR at 6h 52m hold the same connection, so a booking has three hubs to try before it has to wait for the nonstop.
If nothing suitable leaves Mumbai, Pune PNQ is 124 km away by great circle and carries 34 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.
If nothing suitable leaves Ho Chi Minh City, Phnom Penh PNH is 213 km away by great circle and carries 25 scheduled destinations of its own, which is usually a shorter road transfer than a lost day.

Where this came from, and where to look next
- Carriers and frequencies: AeroDataBox scheduled route statistics, retrieved 2026-09-07. Average daily flights, not a timetable.
- Distances: great circle from published coordinates. They read short against a flown track, which is why the block time above applies a factor to them.
- Block and connection times: the same model the route calculator lower down this page runs, at the same rounding.
- Restrictions: the airport notes file, checked 2026-09-07.
- Industrial sites: public company information. Nothing here says or implies that any company named is a customer of any courier operator.
Who publishes this. OnBoard Courier is a placement desk in Dubai. An assignment is carried out by a vetted partner operator, with the desk as the single point of contact from the quote to the signature. This page exists because our own dispatchers need the answer for BOM to SGN in the twenty minutes before a promise is made, and a reference only one operator can read is not a reference. Free to read, quote and cite. Found an error? Tell us and we will correct it.
If you need something moved rather than looked up, the desk prices a hand carry in fifteen minutes.
