flyadeal Mumbai-Riyadh flights: schedule and route guide
flyadeal began nonstop flights between King Khalid International Airport in Riyadh (RUH) and Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport in Mumbai (BOM) on October 3, 2026. The Saudi low-cost airline plans five flights a week in each direction using Airbus A320neo aircraft.
The route is operating, not just announced. The airline has current fares on both directions, and its October 3 inaugural was confirmed after departure. Passengers should still check the issued itinerary for their date because a five-weekly pattern leaves two days without a flyadeal nonstop.

The practical answer: F3663 is scheduled overnight from Riyadh to Mumbai, while F3664 leaves Mumbai in the morning and reaches Riyadh later that morning. Both times are local. Confirm the day, terminal and baggage shown on your own booking before arranging a connection or airport transfer.
The five-weekly Mumbai-Riyadh schedule
AeroRoutes' booking-data review published the initial timetable below. flyadeal's Mumbai-to-Riyadh fare page and Riyadh-to-Mumbai fare page show current inventory on the route.
| Direction | Flight | Scheduled local time | Planned days |
|---|---|---|---|
| Riyadh (RUH) to Mumbai (BOM) | F3663 | 00:55 to 07:40 | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday |
| Mumbai (BOM) to Riyadh (RUH) | F3664 | 08:40 to 10:15 | Monday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday and Sunday |
Mumbai is two hours and 30 minutes ahead of Riyadh. That time difference explains why the westbound flight appears much shorter on the clock than its roughly four-hour block time.
The schedule excludes Tuesday and Friday in the initial filing. Search by the exact travel date instead of assuming there is a daily flight. flyadeal's fare pages also warn that displayed prices are recently collected examples and may no longer be available when you book.
Which terminals should passengers use?
Riyadh Airport lists Mumbai as a direct flyadeal destination from Terminal 1. The airport's passenger guide assigns Terminal 1 to international flights by national carriers and advises international passengers to arrive three hours before departure.
For Mumbai, use the terminal printed on the flyadeal itinerary and recheck it before travel. Do not rely on a generic airline directory or assume that another Mumbai flight uses the same terminal.
Baggage depends on the fare bundle
The cheapest fare is not a promise of a checked bag. flyadeal's current hold-baggage rules separate the three bundles:
| Fare bundle | Included hold baggage |
|---|---|
| fly | None; add a bag separately if needed |
| fly+ | One bag up to 20 kg, no larger than 35 by 50 by 75 cm |
| flyMax | One bag up to 32 kg, no larger than 35 by 50 by 75 cm |
Read the allowance on the purchased itinerary. A reseller display can be incomplete, and add-on prices can change. Buy any required hold baggage through the airline's Manage Booking flow before reaching the airport where possible.
For cabin baggage, follow the allowance attached to the fare rather than treating a social post as a rule. flyadeal says spare batteries and power banks belong in cabin baggage, not checked baggage. Its cabin-baggage safety guidance also applies the usual 100 ml container limit for liquids, aerosols and gels.
Check-in deadlines leave little room for delay
flyadeal says its check-in counters close 60 minutes before scheduled departure and boarding gates close 30 minutes before departure. Its check-in guidance tells passengers who cannot obtain a boarding pass online to complete airport check-in no later than two hours before departure.
International document checks can still require a counter visit even when online check-in appears available. Arrive early enough for passport, visa and baggage checks. A mobile boarding pass does not extend the bag-drop deadline.
Saudi entry is passport-specific
Do not infer Saudi entry permission from the existence of the flight. The official Saudi eVisa portal publishes its current eligible-nationality list. India is not on that standard list, and the portal directs travelers whose nationality is not listed to contact the nearest Saudi embassy. Eligibility can also depend on another valid visa or residence status under separate rules, so check the route that applies to the passport you will use.
Passengers traveling for work, family visits, Umrah or another purpose need the correct permission for that trip. Carry the passport and approval used for the booking, and check any health or pilgrimage requirements close to departure.
Connections need one-ticket checks
flyadeal said after the launch that the new service can connect Mumbai passengers to Saudi destinations such as Abha, Dammam, Jeddah and Madinah on one booking, with through fares and baggage checked to the final destination. That benefit applies only when the issued booking supports it.
Two separately purchased tickets are different. The first airline may check baggage only to Riyadh, and a traveler may need Saudi entry permission to collect and recheck it. Allow time for immigration, baggage delivery, terminal movement and the second airline's check-in deadline. If a missed separate-ticket flight would ruin the trip, consider a longer buffer or an overnight stay.
Mobile data for Mumbai and Riyadh
An eSIM can provide ground data for maps, airline notifications and onward transport after landing. It does not work as inflight Wi-Fi, change a booking or solve an entry-document problem.
For a trip focused on one end of the route, compare the India OpenSim eSIM or Saudi Arabia OpenSim eSIM. The Asia-20 OpenSim eSIM currently lists both India and Saudi Arabia in its coverage, which can be useful when the same phone needs data at both ends. Check the selected package's allowance, validity and top-up status before payment because those details vary by plan.
Ten questions about flyadeal Mumbai-Riyadh flights
Has flyadeal started flying between Mumbai and Riyadh?
Yes. The first service operated on October 3, 2026, and flyadeal is selling later dates in both directions. Check the flight status for the specific date because an operating route can still have individual cancellations or time changes.
How often does flyadeal fly between Mumbai and Riyadh?
The initial schedule has five flights a week in each direction. It excludes Tuesday and Friday, but the booked itinerary remains the authority if the pattern changes.
What are the flyadeal flight numbers?
F3663 is the Riyadh-to-Mumbai service. F3664 is the Mumbai-to-Riyadh service. Confirm the number on the final itinerary before using a flight tracker or arranging a pickup.
Is the Mumbai-Riyadh flight nonstop?
Yes. flyadeal sells F3663 and F3664 as nonstop flights between RUH and BOM. A separate onward journey within Saudi Arabia is another flight, even when both sectors appear on one booking.
Which Riyadh terminal does flyadeal use for Mumbai?
Riyadh Airport currently lists the Mumbai route at Terminal 1. Recheck the airport and airline information on the day of travel because operational terminal changes can happen.
Does the cheapest flyadeal fare include checked baggage?
No. The fly bundle does not include free hold baggage. fly+ includes one bag up to 20 kg, while flyMax includes one bag up to 32 kg under the airline's current size limit.
Can I check in online for an international flyadeal flight?
Online check-in may be available, but document checks can still require the airport counter. If the system does not issue a boarding pass, flyadeal tells passengers to complete airport check-in at least two hours before departure.
Do Indian passport holders get a Saudi eVisa automatically?
No. India is not on the standard nationality list shown by the official Saudi eVisa portal. Check the visa route that applies to your passport, residence status and travel purpose before buying a non-refundable fare.
Will flyadeal check my bag through a Riyadh connection?
It can on an eligible single booking, but do not assume the same for separate tickets. Confirm the baggage destination at check-in and plan for Saudi entry, collection and recheck if the bag is tagged only to Riyadh.
Which OpenSim plan covers both India and Saudi Arabia?
The Asia-20 product currently lists both countries. Country plans may suit a one-country stay better. Compare the live package details for allowance, validity and whether the chosen plan supports top-ups.
