Passengers can now fly direct between Scandinavia and India for the first time in almost two decades. SAS officially launched the new Copenhagen (CPH) to Mumbai (BOM) nonstop route on October 1, 2026. The airline operates this year-round flight five times a week using an Airbus A330 aircraft.
This widebody jet holds 266 seats across Business, Plus (Premium Economy), and Go (Economy) cabins. You can book tickets directly through the official SAS Scandinavian Airlines portal. Booking direct ensures you get the best cancellation flexibility and direct customer support if your plans change.
Complete Copenhagen to Mumbai Flight Schedule
Knowing the exact days this flight operates helps you plan your hotel bookings perfectly. The outbound flight leaves Denmark in the late afternoon, while the return flight departs India early in the morning.
Here is the official SAS schedule for the direct Mumbai flights:
| Route | Flight Number | Departure Time | Arrival Time | Operating Days |

Check the Copenhagen Airport Kastrup departures board 24 hours before your flight. Winter weather in Northern Europe can occasionally adjust runway timings.
Connecting Through Copenhagen with SkyTeam
SAS officially joined the global SkyTeam Alliance in September 2024. This change means passengers flying from Mumbai can connect seamlessly through Copenhagen to dozens of European and North American cities using partner airlines.
Your checked baggage now transfers automatically to your final destination on a single SkyTeam booking. You also earn EuroBonus points on these flights. You can redeem these miles across any of the partner airlines in the network for future travel.
If you have a long layover in Copenhagen, head straight to the SAS Lounge in Terminal 3. You can buy a day pass at the reception desk even if you are flying in Economy class.

Tips for Indian e-Visa and Mumbai Arrivals
Most international tourists and business travelers require a visa before boarding the flight to Mumbai. You must apply for an electronic visa through the official Bureau of Immigration India e-Visa portal at least four days before your departure.
Do not use third-party visa agencies that appear at the top of search engines. These unofficial sites charge massive hidden processing fees for the exact same government service.
Flight SK969 lands at 04:30 AM at Terminal 2 of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport. Arriving this early helps you completely avoid the heavy Mumbai morning traffic. A pre-paid airport taxi will get you to downtown Colaba in about 45 minutes at this hour.
Baggage Allowances and Cabin Rules
Understanding your luggage limits prevents expensive surprises at the check-in counter. SAS strictly enforces different baggage rules depending on your specific ticket class.
Passengers holding Go Smart tickets can check one bag weighing up to 23 kg (50 lbs) for free. Business class tickets allow two checked bags weighing up to 32 kg (70 lbs) each.
Every traveler gets one free cabin bag and a small personal item like a laptop bag. Make sure your cabin bag does not exceed 8 kg (17.5 lbs). Ground staff frequently weigh hand luggage at the boarding gates.
What to Do and What to Avoid During Booking
Getting the best seat and fare requires a bit of smart planning. The Airbus A330 features a 2-4-2 seating configuration in the economy cabin.
Here are the best practices for booking this specific route:
- Do select a window or aisle seat in the outer sections: The 2-4-2 layout means couples can sit together without a third stranger. Choose seats A, B, G, or H.
- Do not book standard Go Light fares if you check bags: The cheapest base fare does not include a checked suitcase. Adding a bag at the airport counter costs significantly more than upgrading to a standard Go fare online.
- Do pack a travel adapter for India: The aircraft uses standard European plugs, but your hotel in Mumbai will use Type C, D, or M outlets.
- Do review Indian customs limits: If you plan to bring gifts, check the duty-free allowances listed by the Central Board of Indirect Taxes and Customs to avoid unexpected taxes at the baggage claim.
