Aurangabad (now officially Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, code IXU) has a genuine non-stop link to Delhi, which is unusual for a Tier-2 Maharashtra city. IndiGo runs the bulk of the non-stops, with Air India and its low-cost arm Air India Express adding frequencies on most days.
Schedules at IXU are thin and change with the season, so on a given day you will typically find three to five non-stop departures rather than an all-day flow. If a non-stop time does not suit you, the booking engines will also throw up one-stop options via Mumbai or Hyderabad — usually slower and not worth it unless the fare is far lower.
Note on defunct carriers: Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so you will only see the Air India brand now.
The straight-line distance is roughly 1,000–1,150 km. A non-stop covers it in about 1 hour 45 minutes gate to gate, though the airline block time is often quoted a touch longer to absorb Delhi’s busy arrival pattern.
Both cities sit on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change to plan around. If you end up on a one-stop itinerary via Mumbai, budget 4–6 hours door-to-door including the layover — a big jump over the non-stop, so check the non-stops first.
With only a handful of non-stop seats a day, this route fills fast around peak periods. Fares move on demand, not on a fixed price, so the honest advice is to book early when you can see prices climbing.
| Season | Demand | Tip |
|---|---|---|
| Diwali & Christmas–New Year | High | Book 3–4 weeks ahead; non-stops sell out first |
| Summer holidays (Apr–Jun) | High | Lock in early; family travel peaks |
| Monsoon (Jul–Sep) | Moderate | Often the best value; watch for weather delays |
| Jan–Mar (post-fog) | Moderate | Mid-week departures are usually cheapest |
As a rule of thumb, booking two to four weeks ahead and flying mid-week gives you the best shot at a sensible fare.
A few practical levers on IXU–DEL:
Compare live options on FlightGPT rather than assuming a fixed price — fares on a thin route like this swing a lot between dates.
Early-morning departures from IXU tend to be the most reliable, landing you in Delhi with the day ahead and before the capital’s afternoon congestion builds. They are also the first to be hit by winter fog (see the travel tips below), so trade reliability against the risk by season.
For onward connections out of Delhi — whether to another flight or a same-day meeting — give yourself a comfortable buffer. Delhi’s T3 immigration and inter-terminal transfers can eat time even on a domestic-to-domestic move.
Business travellers: the early non-stop gets you into Delhi for a full working day. Pick a flexible/refundable fare if your plans could shift, and use web check-in to skip the counter at IXU.
Families: the non-stop is worth paying a little more for — a single 1h 45m hop with children beats a connection via Mumbai. Pre-book seats together and infant tickets in advance.
Students: Indian low-cost carriers rarely offer true student discounts, so the honest play is flexible dates and cabin-only baggage. Watch for sale fares rather than relying on a student fare that usually does not exist.
Aurangabad (IXU): Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport is compact with a single terminal handling all departures — check-in to gate is quick. Reach it well ahead anyway, as security lanes are few.
Delhi (DEL): Indira Gandhi International is split across terminals. IndiGo domestic flights generally use Terminal 1, while Air India and Air India Express operate from Terminal 3. Confirm your terminal on the ticket, as T1 and T3 are a long shuttle apart — arriving at the wrong one is a real risk in Delhi.
At Aurangabad: the airport is about 10 km east of the city centre; autos and app cabs are easy, and the run is short outside peak hours.
At Delhi: T3 connects to the Airport Express Metro (Orange Line) for a fast ride to New Delhi station and central Delhi. T1 is served by the Magenta Line metro and by app cabs. Pre-book a cab or use the prepaid taxi counter to avoid the touts, and allow extra time on the notoriously busy Delhi roads.
Economy on Indian carriers is broadly 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on a standard low-cost fare; Air India’s full-service fares often allow more. Air India Express bundles vary by fare type, so read the inclusions before you book.
Exact limits and excess-baggage charges differ by airline and fare, so check the airline page before flying — for example, the IndiGo baggage rules. Weigh bags at home; airport excess charges are steep and per-kilo.
Winter fog (Dec–Jan): Delhi is India’s worst airport for fog. Morning arrivals and departures can be delayed or diverted when visibility drops. If you must fly in this window, prefer a late-morning or midday slot once the fog has lifted, and keep onward plans loose.
Monsoon (Jun–Sep): Maharashtra’s monsoon can throw up afternoon thunderstorms around Aurangabad; delays are usually short. Carry essentials and a phone charger in your cabin bag.
Summer: Delhi is brutally hot from April to June — hydrate and plan ground transfers for cooler hours where possible.
Because IXU has so few non-stops, the single biggest mistake is leaving the booking late and being forced onto a slow one-stop via Mumbai. Set a price alert two to three weeks out, grab the morning non-stop when it appears, and double-check whether you are landing at Delhi T1 (IndiGo) or T3 (Air India) — getting that wrong costs an hour you will not have.
IndiGo operates most of the non-stops, with Air India and Air India Express adding frequencies on most days. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so you will only see these carriers.
A non-stop takes roughly 1 hour 45 minutes. A one-stop connection via Mumbai or Hyderabad runs 4–6 hours including the layover.
Typically three to five non-stop departures a day, varying by season. It is a thin route, so seats can sell out fast.
Mid-week departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) and the monsoon months tend to be cheapest. Book two to four weeks ahead and avoid Diwali, Christmas–New Year and the summer holiday peak.
IndiGo generally uses Terminal 1, while Air India and Air India Express operate from Terminal 3. Check your ticket, as T1 and T3 are far apart.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad) Airport has a single terminal handling all flights.
Economy is broadly 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on low-cost fares; Air India full-service fares allow more. Check the airline’s page, such as IndiGo baggage, before flying.
Yes. All three carriers open web check-in around 48 hours before departure. Use it to pick seats and skip the airport counter at IXU.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative. On voluntary changes/cancellations, the airline’s fare rules and change fees apply; refundable fares give back more.
Yes. Delhi’s December–January fog frequently delays morning flights, and Maharashtra’s monsoon can cause short weather holds. Keep onward plans flexible in those seasons.
Policies vary by airline and most Indian carriers have limited acceptance for cabin or hold. Arrange it in advance directly with the airline — do not turn up unannounced.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a nominal fare plus taxes, with no separate seat. Book the infant when you book your own ticket.
The first flight is most punctual outside fog season and gives you a full day in Delhi. The last flight risks knock-on delays from the day’s congestion, so avoid it if you have an onward connection.
Prices are usually similar. Compare live on FlightGPT, then book wherever the total — including baggage and seat add-ons — is lowest. Booking direct can make later changes simpler.
