Airlines & non-stop options

Ahmedabad (AMD) to Pune (PNQ) is served non-stop by IndiGo and Akasa Air. IndiGo carries the larger share of frequency with daily departures, while Akasa Air adds further direct options. Between them you get around half a dozen non-stop flights a day spread across morning, afternoon and evening.

Other carriers may show 1-stop itineraries via a hub such as Mumbai or Hyderabad, but most travellers will want the direct flights. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard those names in older listings.

Flight time, distance & routing

The distance is about 670 km and the non-stop takes roughly 1h 15m to 1h 25m gate-to-gate. The routing runs broadly south-east from Gujarat across Maharashtra to Pune.

Both cities are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change. Narrow-body jets operate the route — A320/A321neo on IndiGo and Boeing 737 on Akasa Air.

Best time to book & seasonal fares

This is a steady business-and-leisure short-haul with several daily non-stops, so booking a couple of weeks ahead usually suffices. We don't quote specific rupee fares because they shift daily — the demand pattern below shows when prices firm up.

PeriodDemandFare tendency
Oct–Nov (Diwali, Navratri)HighElevated; book early
Dec–Jan (winter, holidays)Moderate–HighHigher on weekends
Mar–Apr (shoulder)ModerateOften softer mid-week
Jun–Sep (monsoon, lean)LowerFrequently the cheapest

Mid-week departures booked 2–4 weeks out generally give the best value on this corridor.

Getting your fare cheaper

Ways to trim the cost on Ahmedabad–Pune:

Best departure windows

An early-morning Ahmedabad departure lands you in Pune before mid-day — ideal for business meetings or onward travel into the IT and auto belt. Leisure travellers can often save with a late-evening flight. Pune airport sits to the north-east of the city near Lohegaon, so factor in city traffic when planning arrivals.

Advice by traveller type

Business: take an early IndiGo or Akasa non-stop and travel cabin-only to clear Pune quickly. The short flight makes a same-day return feasible for a day of meetings.

Families: a mid-morning direct avoids early starts with children and lands at a manageable hour. Pre-book seats together; the hour-and-a-bit flight is easy to manage.

Students & budget: Pune is a major education hub, so this route carries students from Gujarat. Compare Akasa against IndiGo — savings exist but vary — and buy the right baggage allowance up front rather than paying steep airport fees.

Airports & terminals

Ahmedabad (AMD), Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International: domestic flights use Terminal 1 (T1); Terminal 2 (T2) handles international services. IndiGo and Akasa Air both depart from T1 — a free shuttle links the terminals if you are connecting internationally.

Pune (PNQ), Pune Airport: a single-terminal civil enclave shared with an Air Force base. A new integrated terminal has expanded capacity, but it remains one passenger terminal for all flights. Because it is a defence-shared field, operating hours can be restricted at times — check your flight timing.

Getting to and from the airport

At Ahmedabad: the airport is about 9 km north-east of the city. App cabs, pre-paid taxis and autos are all available; allow 30–40 minutes from the centre.

At Pune: the airport is roughly 10 km north-east of the city at Lohegaon. App cabs, pre-paid taxis and PMPML buses serve the centre, Hinjewadi IT park and Pimpri-Chinchwad; allow 40–60 minutes in traffic, more in peak hours.

Baggage allowance

On domestic economy, IndiGo includes 15 kg check-in plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares, with the cheapest buckets sometimes hand-baggage only. Akasa Air also allows 15 kg check-in on most domestic fares. Read your fare rules before paying, and pre-book extra weight online — it is far cheaper than at the airport counter. Full details: IndiGo baggage.

Travel tips & weather

Ahmedabad summers (Apr–Jun) are hot and dry, while Pune enjoys a milder climate thanks to its elevation on the Deccan plateau. The monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings heavy showers to both cities and can cause evening delays into Pune — keep a buffer if you have onward plans. Carry a light layer for Pune's cooler evenings.

FlightGPT tip

On Ahmedabad–Pune the cheapest fare alternates between IndiGo and Akasa Air by date. Use FlightGPT to compare both carriers on your exact dates and sort by departure window — a mid-week morning or late-evening non-stop often beats the headline price. Set an alert a couple of weeks ahead to catch the dips, especially outside festival peaks.
