A lot of detailed information regarding travel to Shirdi
Mumbai to Shirdi - Airport/Taxi/Bus/Trains and other important details::
Devotees going to Shirdi by Air from Mumbai:
 The distance between Mumbai to shirdi is approx 260 kms. Mumbai airport is also the closestinternational airport to reach shirdi. So Sai devotees who wish to come to india especially for shirdidarshan can come to mumbai and then take a Bus ,taxi ,train or a flight to shirdi.The nearest airport toshirdi used to be, Aurangabad ( 126 kms ) but very recently major steps have been taken to have theairport close to the Samadhi mandir .The airport is scheduled to come up at Kakadi village, around 15kilometres from Shirdi in Ahmednagar district. But As for now ,most devotees who travel from abroadhave to reach the Mumbai airport first . A few months ago Jagson airlines used to travel from Mumbai toshirdi but it seems like they do not have that service anymore.I am not quite sure about what is going onwith the present situation but I am just leaving the link here.I don’t think that they r operating servicebetween Mumbai and Shirdi by air anymore but u never know if they would restart it so I am leaving thislink on this pagehttp://www.jagsonairline.com/schedule.htm-
Devotees going to Shirdi by bus from Mumbai ::
The easiest way to get to Shirdi is by bus. It takes up to 7 hrs. If you fly into the Mumbai airport, hire a taxi(the ones that are in lines at the very front of the airport) to take you to the Dadar Bus Stand. The cost isabout Rs.-150 to Rs.-200 (make sure they turn the meter on). There are also people who will try toredirect you to their own "private" taxis. These "private" taxis charge between Rs. 400 to Rs. 600 just totake you to the Dadar Bus Stand. At the Dadar Bus Stand, there are long lines of small ticket countersthat sell bus tickets to Shirdi. Preferably, try to get an A/C direct bus ( around Rs.-300 -however, the priceskeep changing with time so....this is just a rough estimate). If you are not able to get an A/C direct bus, get
 
a non-A/C direct bus (Rs.-150).[Prices may vary a little] Buses leave almost every 3 hours from Mumbaito Shirdi. So your wait will not be long. The buses make about 2 stops for food. The restaurants are non-vegetarian. So make sure you pack some snacks and bottled water for the trip. Keep an eye on your luggage! Some buses goes to Nasik and then to shirdi others take a short cut avoiding nasik.Bus route -Mumbai- Nashik- Niphad- Yeola - Shirdi. Distance between Pune to shirdi - 190 KmsBus route - Pune-Kalamba- sangmner- Talegaon- shirdiDistance between Aurangabad to Shirdi 126 kms.Bus route -Aurangabad- Vaijapur Yeola- Kopargaon-Shirdi. Try to get a bus that departs before 11am so you will notarrive too late at Shirdi. There are buses to shirdi which starts even at 11 pm but if you are travelling alone-Plz be aware that it is not safe specially for female Sai devotees .Ofcourse everyone says Saibaba isthere to protect. But still You also need to plan your trip safely.If your flight arrives late night to Mumbaiairport or too early in the morning, better stay in a friends house or in a hotel in mumbai . There are fewnear the airport. I really don’t have any idea about the budget of the Hotels in mumbai. But they can bequite expensive. If your flight arrives early morning 2 am to 4 am , wait in airport for 2 hours and then taketaxi to Dadar to take Bus to Shirdi.Theres a cabin inside airport campus itself to book taxi or you cancheckhttp://www.merucabs.com/.For Private Bus (Volvos) Related queries ie - Bookings,Fares,Route,Pick-up/Drop Point -http://www.redbus.in/ For State Transport Buses - http://www.shrisaibabasansthan.org/main_English/shirdi/how_to_reach.asp  Mumbai To Shirdi Route Map -http://www.shirdihotelsonline.com/mumbai-shirdi-india-map/ Also check out the below linkhttp://www.travel.bixee.com/cheap/bus-tickets/from/Mumbai/to/Shirdi/20090428/None/1/0/0/#bus-Mumbai-Shirdi-20090428--1-0-0-1 http://www.onlinebustickets.in/bus-from/shirdi-to-mumbai/
