What you're owed

Leaving Heathrow

£520each under UK law

Leaving Mumbai

£520each under UK law

Mumbai is outside the UK and EU, so coming back this only applies if a UK or EU airline operated the flight.

Heathrow to Mumbai is 7,213 km, which fixes the figure: £520 each leaving Heathrow, and the same £520 each coming back if a UK or EU airline operated the flight. It is per person, so four of you is £2,080.

Everyone flying Heathrow to Mumbai hits the same airspace and the same two airports, so the honest question is not whether the route is busy, it is whether this airline handles it better or worse than the others on it.
