Looking for cheap flights from Aurangabad to Chennai?

Aurangabad airport (IXU) is a tier-2 airport that sees limited frequency, so direct IXU–MAA flights are not always available — check live schedules at time of booking as IndiGo occasionally introduces or suspends this sector. When no direct flight operates, a 1-stop via Hyderabad (HYD, feeder ≈ 50 min) is the fastest alternative — HYD–MAA takes about 1h 15m. Total elapsed time via HYD with a 1–2 hour layover comes to around 3.5–4 hours. Routing via Mumbai (BOM) is also possible but adds unnecessary distance and time. IndiGo is the dominant carrier on both the IXU–HYD feeder and the HYD–MAA leg, making same-airline connections smoother.
Aurangabad–Chennai economy one-way fares range from approximately ₹3,500 to ₹10,000 on direct or single-connection itineraries as of June 2026. Round-trip fares all-in typically fall between ₹7,500 and ₹18,000. The cheapest windows are the post-Diwali lull (mid-November) and mid-January to February, when neither origin nor destination sees major festival traffic. Summer (May–June) and Dussehra–Diwali windows (October) are pricier. Booking 3–5 weeks ahead on IndiGo's website generally captures the sweet spot between early-bird pricing and seat availability. Same-day or next-day booking can be expensive; last-minute fares on this route often exceed ₹9,000 one-way.
Chennai International Airport (IATA: MAA) has two domestic terminals: the older T1 (used by some carriers for domestic arrivals) and the integrated T2/T3 international complex. IndiGo domestic arrivals typically use T1. The airport is about 16 km from Chennai city centre (T Nagar, Anna Salai), and the Chennai Metro Airport station connects directly to the city — trains run every 5–10 minutes and reach Chennai Central in about 35 minutes for ₹60–80. This metro link is one of India's best airport rail connections. Prepaid taxis from the airport to the city cost approximately ₹450–₹600. App-based cabs (Rapido, Ola) are widely available in the pickup zone.
This is a purely domestic Indian flight — no passport or visa is required. A government-issued photo ID is mandatory: Aadhaar card, PAN card, voter ID, or passport all work. For children under 2, a birth certificate is sufficient. Digital IDs via DigiLocker are accepted at Aurangabad and Chennai airports. Aurangabad is DigiYatra-enabled (face-based boarding), and Chennai has also implemented DigiYatra — enrol via the DigiYatra app before travel for a seamless, paperless boarding experience. Note that senior citizens (60+) and students may be eligible for discounted fares on Air India (when it serves the route); IndiGo does not offer age-based discounts.
Chennai is South India's cultural and commercial anchor. Mahabalipuram (Mamallapuram), a UNESCO-listed shore temple complex, is just 60 km south — an easy half-day trip from the city. Marina Beach, the world's second-longest urban beach, is a short ride from the airport. For temple enthusiasts, Kapaleeshwarar Temple in Mylapore is extraordinary. Kancheepuram (the silk saree capital) is 75 km away. Food-wise, Chennai's filter coffee, idli–sambar, chettinad chicken, and seafood kothu parotta are must-tries. The city also connects by rail to Ooty (Nilgiri Mountain Railway, a UNESCO heritage train, from Mettupalayam) for a popular add-on trip.
IndiGo's cheapest SuperSaver fares on domestic routes allow only 7 kg cabin baggage — if you are connecting two legs (IXU–HYD and HYD–MAA), ensure your checked baggage add-ons cover both legs or book as a single itinerary. Adding 15 kg checked online at IndiGo costs ₹650–₹900 for domestic legs; at the airport counter it rises to ₹1,200–₹1,800. Air India's entry economy on domestic routes includes 15 kg checked. For a quick 2–3 day business or leisure trip, a 7 kg cabin bag is comfortably sufficient. Oversized bags (golf clubs, Ajanta–Ellora souvenir sculptures) must be declared and charged as excess/special baggage. Fares reflect June 2026 conditions.
Direct flights operate intermittently — IndiGo has served this route seasonally. The standard fallback is a 1-stop via Hyderabad (HYD), with total elapsed time of about 3.5–4 hours including the layover. Check live schedules at time of booking.
A direct flight takes approximately 1h 50m to 2h 10m. Via Hyderabad (feeder ≈ 50 min + HYD–MAA ≈ 1h 15m), the flying time alone is about 2h, but total elapsed time with a layover is 3.5–4 hours.
Economy one-way fares range from roughly ₹3,500 to ₹10,000 as of June 2026. Round-trip all-in fares fall between ₹7,500 and ₹18,000. Booking 3–5 weeks ahead typically yields the best prices; last-minute fares can exceed ₹9,000 one-way.
IndiGo is the primary carrier, operating on this sector directly or via Hyderabad. Air India occasionally serves the route. Check both airlines' current schedules — this is a thin route where seasonal changes are common.
No — this is a domestic Indian route. A government photo ID is sufficient: Aadhaar, voter ID, PAN card, or passport. DigiYatra (face-based boarding) is available at both IXU and MAA — enrol in the app before travel for a paperless experience.
The Chennai Metro Airport station (in the T4 domestic terminal area) connects to Chennai Central in ≈ 35 minutes for ₹60–80. Prepaid taxis cost ₹450–₹600 to T Nagar or Anna Salai. Ola/Rapido app-cabs are available from designated pickup zones outside arrivals.
