IndiGo is the carrier to know on this sector, operating the non-stop Aurangabad–Ahmedabad service on most days — generally one to two flights. It dominates the route.
Air India serves Aurangabad on other sectors, so on dates the non-stop is sold out you may find 1-stop fares via Mumbai or Hyderabad with IndiGo or Air India. For a short hop like this, though, the direct flight is almost always the better choice.
Ignore older schedules naming Go First, Jet Airways or Vistara — Go First and Jet Airways have shut down, and Vistara is now part of Air India.
Aurangabad (officially Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar) and Ahmedabad are about 580 km apart. The IndiGo non-stop covers it in roughly 1h 30m gate to gate — a genuinely short hop.
The flight runs north-west from Marathwada into Gujarat. A 1-stop alternative via Mumbai or Hyderabad makes little sense on distance alone and can easily turn a 90-minute flight into a half-day, so treat connections as a fallback only when the direct flight is full or badly timed.
With only a handful of non-stops a day, seat availability — not distance — drives the fare. Book ahead on busy dates.
| Period | Demand | Fare pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Jan (Navratri, festive, wedding season, pleasant weather) | High | Higher — book early |
| Apr–Jun (summer travel) | Moderate | Moderate |
| Feb–Mar, Jul–Sep (lean / monsoon) | Lower | Easiest — best value |
Because supply is thin, the cheapest seats on the non-stop go quickly. Two to four weeks out is usually enough on a short domestic hop like this.
To keep the cost down:
On a 90-minute hop the timing is mostly about your day at either end. A morning non-stop lands you in Ahmedabad with the full working day ahead — ideal for business or onward travel. Later departures suit a relaxed start from Aurangabad after a morning at the caves.
Gujarat and Marathwada both run hot in summer afternoons, so an early flight also means a cooler airport experience and a gentler arrival.
Business travellers: the morning non-stop makes a same-day Ahmedabad meeting realistic, and at 90 minutes a same-day return is achievable if the schedule lines up. Pick a fare that allows changes.
Families: the short flight is far easier than the long road or train journey, particularly with children. Keep IDs and snacks handy and you'll be through a compact airport quickly.
Students & budget travellers: lean-season midweek non-stops are the cheapest. Travel cabin-bag-only to avoid baggage fees on the lowest fares.
Aurangabad — Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport (IXU): a small single-terminal airport (still widely searched as Aurangabad). It's quiet and quick to move through — arrive about 2 hours before departure.
Ahmedabad — Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (AMD): domestic flights use Terminal 1; the international Terminal 2 is separate. IndiGo operates from T1, so you'll arrive there. It's a busy metro airport, so leave time for taxi queues on departure.
At Aurangabad: the airport is about 10 km east of the city centre. App cabs, autos and prepaid taxis are all easy options.
At Ahmedabad: SVPI is roughly 9–10 km from the city centre and well connected by app cabs and prepaid taxis. Traffic can be heavy on the approach roads at peak hours, so allow extra time if you're catching a return flight.
On IndiGo, cabin baggage of about 7 kg is included on all fares; check-in baggage is bundled into higher fare families and charged separately on the lightest fares. On a short hop, many travellers manage with cabin baggage alone.
Confirm your exact limit before booking — the current figures are on the IndiGo baggage page. Excess weight is far cheaper to pre-pay online than at the airport counter.
Both cities share a hot, dry climate for much of the year. Summers (Apr–Jun) are intense across Marathwada and Gujarat, so hydrate and prefer morning flights. Monsoon (Jul–Sep) brings rain to both ends but rarely disrupts this short sector badly. Winter (Nov–Feb) is the pleasant travel season and the busiest.
If you're visiting Aurangabad for the Ajanta and Ellora caves, note they're a fair drive from the city and closed on certain weekdays — plan around that before booking your return.
On a hop this short, the non-stop is almost always the right answer — a 1-stop fare can triple your travel time for little or no saving. Book IndiGo's direct flight a couple of weeks out, ideally a morning departure, and travel cabin-bag-only to dodge baggage fees on the lowest fare.
Yes. IndiGo operates a non-stop service on most days, generally one to two flights, taking about 1h 30m. It is the main carrier on the route.
The IndiGo non-stop takes roughly 1h 30m gate to gate over a distance of about 580 km. A 1-stop fare via Mumbai or Hyderabad takes much longer and is only worth considering if the direct flight is full.
IndiGo flies the non-stop. Air India serves Aurangabad on other sectors, so 1-stop fares occasionally appear via Mumbai or Hyderabad. Go First, Jet Airways and standalone Vistara flights no longer operate.
Lean-season months (February–March and the monsoon) and midweek departures are generally cheapest. With limited daily seats, booking two to four weeks ahead usually secures the lowest non-stop fare on busy dates.
Domestic flights, including IndiGo, use Terminal 1 at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International (AMD). The international Terminal 2 is a separate building.
Yes. DGCA rules entitle you to a full refund or free re-accommodation on an alternative flight if the airline cancels. If you cancel voluntarily, the refundable amount depends on your fare type and the airline's cancellation charges.
On IndiGo, cabin baggage of about 7 kg is included on every fare; check-in baggage is bundled into higher fares and charged separately on the lightest ones. Check the exact figure for your fare before booking.
Yes. IndiGo opens web check-in from 48 hours up to a couple of hours before departure. Doing it online saves time at the compact Aurangabad terminal.
Rain reaches both Aurangabad and Ahmedabad in July–September but rarely disrupts this short sector badly. Heavy spells can cause short delays, so keep an eye on flight status during peak monsoon.
Pet acceptance depends on the airline and requires advance arrangement, a suitable crate and documentation. Not every flight accepts animals, so contact the carrier well before travel rather than assuming space.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare. Carry age proof and keep feeds and a change of clothes in your cabin bag — though on a 90-minute hop the flight itself is quick.
No visa — this is a domestic flight. Every passenger needs a valid government photo ID, which is checked at security and the gate.
For most travellers, yes. The road and rail journey between the cities takes many hours, while the flight is about 90 minutes plus airport time — saving most of a day for a modest fare premium.
Fares are usually similar. Booking direct can make changes and refunds simpler, while a metasearch like FlightGPT lets you compare the non-stop against any 1-stop options before deciding where to book.
