IndiGo is the main carrier flying non-stop between Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport (IXU, still widely called Aurangabad) and Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) in 2026, with roughly one to two departures most days — about 10 to 11 flights a week. Aurangabad is a relatively thin route, so frequency varies by season and IndiGo can be the only operator running a true non-stop. Air India and other carriers serve the city pair on a one-stop basis, usually connecting through Pune or Mumbai. Note that Go First and Jet Airways are no longer operating, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any older listings that still show them.
Because non-stop capacity is limited, book early for fixed travel dates and keep a one-stop option in mind if the direct flight times do not suit you.
The aerial distance from Aurangabad to Hyderabad is about 510 km, and the non-stop flight covers it in roughly 1 hour 25 minutes gate to gate. One-stop itineraries via Pune or Mumbai typically take 4 to 6 hours including the layover, so the direct IndiGo service is by far the quickest way to travel. Both cities are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no time-zone adjustment — your arrival time is real elapsed time after departure.
For context, the road journey is roughly 9 to 10 hours and the train (including the Vande Bharat connection) takes around 6 hours or more, which makes the short flight attractive for business and pilgrimage travel.
On a thin route like this, fares are sensitive to how far ahead you book and to local demand around festivals and the Hyderabad business calendar. Booking two to four weeks ahead generally gives the best value; last-minute seats on the single daily non-stop can be expensive because there is little competing capacity.
| Period | Typical demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (pleasant weather, festivals) | High | Book 3–4 weeks ahead |
| Mar–May (summer) | Moderate | 2–3 weeks ahead |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Often cheaper; watch weather delays |
These are demand patterns, not quoted prices — always compare live fares before booking.
A few practical tactics help on this corridor: be flexible by a day or two, since the single daily non-stop can swing in price; compare the direct flight against a one-stop fare via Pune, which is sometimes cheaper despite the longer journey; and avoid booking in the final few days before travel. Setting a fare alert and checking both the airline site and a metasearch comparison (such as FlightGPT) lets you see when the non-stop dips. Carry only cabin baggage where possible to skip checked-bag charges on the cheapest fare classes.
IndiGo's IXU–HYD departures generally fall in the morning and evening, with the earliest around 08:00 and a later option in the evening. A morning departure lands you in Hyderabad before midday, which suits business meetings and same-day onward connections from HYD's large network. Evening flights work well if you are finishing the day in Aurangabad. Because there is usually only one or two flights a day, build in buffer for the rest of your itinerary rather than counting on a back-up departure.
Business travellers: the morning non-stop is ideal for a day trip to Hyderabad's IT and pharma hubs; book a flexible fare if your meeting times are uncertain, as rebooking the single daily flight can be costly.
Families: the short 85-minute hop is easy with children; pre-book seats together since the route uses smaller daily allocations.
Students and budget travellers: compare the non-stop with one-stop fares via Pune and book two to four weeks out. If your dates are flexible, the road or Vande Bharat rail option can be a cheaper alternative for the roughly 510 km journey.
Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport (IXU) is a compact single-terminal airport handling all domestic flights — check-in, security and boarding are quick, but arrive about 90 minutes before departure as facilities are limited. Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) operates from a single integrated terminal, with the eastern wing handling domestic departures and arrivals and the western wing dedicated to international flights. IndiGo and other domestic carriers all use the same domestic concourse, so there is no terminal-hopping at HYD.
Aurangabad/Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar Airport sits around 10 km east of the city centre; taxis and app cabs take 20 to 30 minutes. Hyderabad's RGIA is about 24 km south of the city at Shamshabad — allow 45 to 75 minutes depending on traffic. From HYD you can use the Pushpak airport buses, app cabs (Ola/Uber), or pre-paid taxis. The Outer Ring Road keeps the airport run reasonably fast outside peak hours, but leave extra time during evening rush.
On IndiGo's standard domestic fares you get 15 kg of checked baggage plus one 7 kg cabin bag; lighter 'lite' fares may carry cabin baggage only, so check the fare rules before you book. Air India's domestic allowance is typically 15 kg checked on the lowest fares as well. Full current limits and excess-baggage rates are on the carrier pages — see IndiGo baggage and Air India baggage.
Aurangabad and Hyderabad share a similar climate — hot summers (March to May), an active monsoon (June to September) and pleasant winters (October to February). The monsoon can bring afternoon delays at both airports, so prefer morning departures in the wet months. Winter is the most comfortable time for sightseeing at the Ajanta and Ellora caves near Aurangabad or Charminar and Golconda in Hyderabad. Carry a light layer for the air-conditioned cabin and keep your ID handy for security.
Because IXU–HYD usually has just one or two non-stops a day, set a FlightGPT fare alert as soon as your dates are firm and compare the direct IndiGo flight against a one-stop via Pune. On a thin route, booking three to four weeks ahead and travelling mid-week typically gives the best combination of price and convenient timing.
Yes. IndiGo operates a non-stop Aurangabad (IXU) to Hyderabad (HYD) flight, with roughly one to two departures most days — about 10 to 11 a week. Other carriers serve the route with one stop via Pune or Mumbai.
The non-stop flight takes about 1 hour 25 minutes over the roughly 510 km distance. One-stop itineraries take 4 to 6 hours including the layover.
IndiGo is the main non-stop operator. Air India and others offer one-stop connections. Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard older listings showing them.
Booking two to four weeks ahead and travelling mid-week generally gives the best value. The monsoon months (June to September) tend to be cheaper than the October to February peak.
Aurangabad (IXU) has a single terminal for all flights. Hyderabad's Rajiv Gandhi International Airport uses one integrated terminal, with domestic flights handled in the eastern wing.
IndiGo's standard domestic fare includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin baggage; 'lite' fares may be cabin-only. Check the airline's baggage page before booking as limits vary by fare.
Yes. IndiGo and Air India open web check-in from 48 hours up to about 1 hour before departure. Doing it online lets you pick your seat and skip queues at the small Aurangabad terminal.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund of the fare including taxes, or an alternative flight, regardless of fare type. Refunds of taxes and statutory fees apply even on non-refundable tickets.
Yes. The June to September monsoon can cause afternoon delays at both Aurangabad and Hyderabad. Morning departures are less likely to be affected, so prefer them in the wet season.
IndiGo does not carry pets in cabin or hold on domestic flights. Air India permits pets in cabin or as checked baggage subject to limits and advance booking — confirm the policy and a vet certificate before travel.
Infants under 2 years travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fee plus taxes, with no separate seat. Carry the infant's age proof and book the infant when booking the adult fare.
Prices are usually similar. Booking directly with the airline makes changes and refunds simpler, while OTAs and metasearch sites like FlightGPT help you compare fares quickly. Always check the airline's own price before paying.
The rail journey, including the Vande Bharat connection, takes around 6 hours or more versus the 85-minute flight, so air travel saves significant time for this roughly 510 km route.
Arrive about 90 minutes before a domestic departure. Aurangabad is a small airport so security is quick, but the limited counters can queue when the non-stop departs.
