1 way / person
Mumbai → Lucknow
flight · 2h
₹4,500
1 way / person
Cheapest listed route is Delhi → Lucknow by train. Return for two works out to about ₹2,800 — so a whole trip lands near ₹8,665 for two, travel included.
Fares are typical one-way estimates per person from Lucknow's common gateways, not live prices — book early and expect festival months to run higher.
