Aurangabad's Chikkalthana Airport (IXU) has limited but growing connectivity. IndiGo operates the most reliable IXU–AMD service with 1–2 daily departures on A320 aircraft. Air India Express has operated this route seasonally. Given the short ≈ 580 km distance, the flight takes ≈ 1h 20m wheels-up to wheels-down. Schedules can be thin — if no direct flight matches your timing, an alternative is connecting via Mumbai (BOM) or Pune (PNQ) on a short layover, though this extends total travel to 3.5–4.5 hours. Aurangabad is also being renamed Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar officially; check both names when searching.
Economy fares on the IXU–AMD sector range from ₹2,200–₹4,500 one-way in low demand and ₹6,500–₹10,000 during peak periods as of June 2026. Given the short distance, train options exist: the Konkan Railway and Maharashtra Express via Manmad–Surat take 9–12 hours by rail, typically ₹400–₹900 in sleeper class. The flight is therefore most compelling for time-sensitive travellers or those doing a multi-city pilgrimage circuit. Book 2–4 weeks ahead for best fares; last-minute prices on this thin route can be steep.
Chikkalthana Airport (IXU) is a small civil-enclave airport ≈ 10 km from Aurangabad city centre. It has a single terminal with basic amenities — one café, limited retail, and a small waiting lounge. Auto-rickshaws to the city cost ≈ ₹100–₹180; app-based taxis (Ola) are available but supply is thin. Online check-in via IndiGo's app 48 hours before departure is strongly recommended, as the counter queues can be slow. The airport does not have DigiYatra enabled as of mid-2026 — a standard government photo ID is required at security. Arrive at least 60 minutes before your domestic departure.
Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) is a modern facility ≈ 10 km from Ahmedabad city centre. The Ahmedabad Metro (Line 1, East-West corridor) has a station at the airport — trains run every 8–12 minutes and cost ≈ ₹25–₹35 to reach central stations like Kalupur or APMC. App taxis (Ola, Rapido) cost ₹200–₹350 to the city centre. The SVPI airport has a large food court in arrivals with both vegetarian and non-veg options — Ahmedabad is a predominantly vegetarian city. Pre-paid taxi counters are available for reliable fixed-price transfers.
As a domestic India flight, no passport or visa is required on the Aurangabad–Ahmedabad route. Any government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar card, voter ID, driving licence, or passport — is sufficient for check-in and security. DigiYatra paperless boarding is not currently enabled at IXU (Aurangabad) as of June 2026, though AMD (Ahmedabad) supports it. Children under 12 travelling with adults do not need their own ID. International visitors transiting this domestic sector should carry their passport regardless. Cabin baggage liquid restrictions (100 ml / 1-litre bag) apply.
Aurangabad is the gateway to two of India's greatest UNESCO World Heritage Sites: the Ajanta Caves (≈ 100 km, 2h by bus or cab), rock-cut Buddhist monasteries with extraordinary 2nd-century BCE frescoes, and the Ellora Caves (≈ 30 km), which feature Hindu, Buddhist, and Jain temples carved from the Sahyadri basalt over 1,500 years. The Kailasa Temple at Ellora (Cave 16) is a single-rock carving larger than the Parthenon. Aurangabad itself offers Bibi Ka Maqbara (the "mini Taj"), the Daulatabad Fort, and Panchakki. Most sights are best seen in morning light — book an early flight to Ahmedabad and see Ajanta on your final day.
Ahmedabad — India's first UNESCO World Heritage City (inscribed 2017 for its historic walled city pol neighbourhood) — rewards arrivals with the extraordinary Sabarmati Ashram where Mahatma Gandhi launched the Salt March, the ornate Sidi Saiyyed Mosque with its famous jali lattice, and a booming street-food culture centred on Manek Chowk (chaat, falooda, Gujarati thali). Ahmedabad is the base for Gujarat's broader circuit: Rann of Kutch (≈ 380 km, famous for the Rann Utsav festival November–February), Gir National Park (Asiatic Lions, ≈ 360 km), and Somnath–Dwarka (Hindu pilgrimage, ≈ 400–500 km).
