Cheapest time to fly & book
Peak demand on this route aligns with Pongal (January), Navratri, and Diwali. Business travellers push up Monday and Friday fares. The cheapest slots are typically midweek (Tuesday–Wednesday) and red-eye departures. Booking ≈ 3–6 weeks ahead is the sweet spot for economy fares. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Flight duration & routing
Non-stop flights cover the route in ≈ 2h 20m. One-stop connections via Mumbai or Bangalore exist but add 3–5 hours and are rarely worth the detour. Chennai is on the east coast, so flights pass over the Deccan Plateau. Monsoon-season (October–December, northeast monsoon in Chennai) departures may see occasional weather delays at MAA.
Baggage & fares
LCCs like IndiGo and SpiceJet include only cabin baggage (7 kg) in base fares; checked bags of 15 kg are an add-on. Air India's regular economy includes 15–25 kg checked. Buying baggage at the time of booking saves ≈ 20–40% over airport counter rates. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Airports & terminals
AMD uses a single terminal. Chennai International Airport (MAA) has two main terminals: T1 for domestic flights and T4 (the old international terminal) for some domestic overflow, while T3 handles international. Most IndiGo and Air India domestic arrivals land at T1. MAA is ≈ 18 km south of central Chennai, connected by MRTS suburban rail and the Chennai Metro.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic flight, so no passport or visa is needed. A valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN card, or driving licence — is required at check-in and security. DigiYatra is available at both AMD and MAA. Keep your booking confirmation accessible on your phone or as a printout.
