When should you book?
November to February is the most comfortable time in Mumbai. The monsoon brings heavy rain from June to September, which can disrupt flights and road travel. Fares from New York rise fastest around Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi, the December holidays and the summer break, so book those dates early. Shoulder months usually price better if your dates are flexible.
