Bangalore to Agatti flights — quick facts

Bangalore–Agatti options: IndiGo, Alliance Air and the Fly91 launch

IndiGo opened the first Bangalore–Agatti non-stop on 31 Mar, 2024, using a 70-odd-seat ATR 72. The original timetable had a late-morning departure from BLR arriving in Agatti early afternoon; the route has since moved to a few days a week, so check which days fit your trip. Alliance Air sells a through flight from Bangalore to Agatti, but the aircraft stops in Kochi. Fly91 has announced Bengaluru–Agatti from 12 Nov, 2026, adding a second airline on the direct sector for the winter season if it starts as planned. Search Bangalore to Agatti on FlightGPT to see which of these runs on your date, then book with the airline or partner.

Get your Lakshadweep entry permit before you buy a ticket

Lakshadweep is a restricted area. Indian citizens who are not islanders need an entry permit issued by the Lakshadweep administration, and airlines and officials at Agatti can ask to see it. Applications typically need photo ID and supporting documents, and a police clearance certificate has been part of the requirement — confirm the current list on the administration's official permit portal before you apply. If you book a package or a resort stay, the operator often handles the permit for you. Foreign nationals face tighter rules and only some islands are open to them. Do not book a non-refundable fare until the permit is in hand or clearly on track.

Checking in at BLR for a turboprop to the islands

Kempegowda International Airport is at Devanahalli, roughly 35–40 km from central Bangalore, and the drive through Hebbal can take well over an hour on weekday mornings. Plan to be at the terminal about two hours before departure. BLR has two terminals, so confirm on your boarding pass whether the flight leaves from T1 or T2. ATR flights often board from a remote stand by bus, so the gate may close earlier than you expect. DigiYatra is available at BLR if you have enrolled. Keep your entry permit with your ID in your cabin bag rather than in checked luggage — you will need it as soon as you land.

How much luggage fits on an ATR 72 to Agatti?

IndiGo's standard domestic economy fare includes 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag. On the ATR, overhead bins are small, so pack the cabin bag soft and compact; a rigid trolley may be sent to the hold. Island trips mean beachwear, sunscreen and perhaps snorkelling or diving kit — if your gear is heavy, buy extra baggage online before the flight. Lakshadweep authorities discourage plastics, so carry a refillable bottle and a cloth bag. Cash machines and card acceptance can be limited on smaller islands, so bring some cash. Alliance Air and Fly91 publish their own allowances; check your fare type at booking.

After touchdown on Agatti: transfers, stays and onward islands

Agatti Airport (AGX) is Lakshadweep's only operational airport, so every flight arrival is a gateway for the whole archipelago. The terminal is small, designed for about 50 passengers at peak, and permits are checked on arrival. Some visitors stay on Agatti itself, which has beaches and lagoon snorkelling close to the airstrip. Others continue by boat to islands such as Bangaram or Kadmat, or by ship and boat to Kavaratti, the capital. These transfers are weather-dependent and usually arranged by your stay or tour operator, so share your flight details in advance. Mobile data can be patchy, and it helps to save confirmations offline before you leave Bangalore.

Best months to fly Bangalore to Lakshadweep

The calmest seas and the most dependable flying are from roughly October to mid-May, which is also when demand for the few ATR seats peaks. Christmas–New Year, Diwali, Bangalore school holidays in April–May and long weekends fill the non-stop first, so book well ahead for those dates. The south-west monsoon, roughly June to September, brings rough seas, limits water sports and can disrupt both the flight and island boats; some resorts reduce operations. If you have to travel then, keep your plans flexible and avoid tight onward connections. Because one aircraft carries everyone on the day, a sold-out flight means looking at routings through Kochi.

When the non-stop is full: routing via Kochi or Kozhikode

Bangalore has many daily flights to Kochi (around an hour), and Kochi has the most Agatti flights — Alliance Air, IndiGo and Fly91 all fly Kochi–Agatti, about 1h 25m on Alliance Air. IndiGo also flies Kozhikode–Agatti. On a single through ticket the airline must look after you if the first leg runs late. On two separate tickets, leave at least three to four hours in Kochi and expect to re-check bags. An overnight in Kochi before the island hop removes most of the risk and lets you catch an early Agatti departure. Compare non-stop and one-stop itineraries on FlightGPT side by side.
