If fares into BOM spike, the airports tabulated below are the first places to check; each row shows the distance back to Mumbai and the flight time from Los Angeles. From LAX, reaching GOI instead takes about 1.2 h — less airborne time than the 17.13 h non-stop, and the surface leg into Mumbai still has to be won back.
Where a matching calculator page exists (LAX → GOI among them) the links are in the Related list below. Weigh each alternative against its back-distance to Mumbai — from LAX, a cheap fare hundreds of km from your actual destination is rarely cheap once the surface leg is priced.
Landing time and daily budget for Mumbai
A 10:00 departure works out to roughly 16:38 on the clock in Mumbai — the 17.13 h airborne leg plus the UTC−8 → UTC+5.5 shift. Hotel, meal and transit averages put a Mumbai day at $77 against $268 in Los Angeles — worth weighing against any fare premium for better flight times.
Mumbai undercuts Los Angeles by $191 a day on the dataset averages; let that shape how many nights you book at each end. With 13.5 hours gained eastbound, the 13,991 km out to Mumbai ends in a serious jet-lag bill — plan a quiet first day.
