Airlines flying Bangalore to Guwahati
IndiGo (6E) flies the most non-stops on this route on its A320neo / A321neo fleet, spread across the day, with Akasa Air (QP) adding a daily Boeing 737 MAX 8 service and Air India Express (IX) contributing further frequencies — together giving several direct departures a day. Some daytime services are timed for same-day onward connections from Guwahati deeper into the North-East. When a non-stop time does not suit, 1-stop options via Delhi or Kolkata exist, but with this many direct flights most travellers take the non-stop.
Cheapest time to fly & book
As of May 2026, the cheapest Bangalore to Guwahati one-way fares open from around ₹6,000–9,000 on IndiGo and Akasa for off-peak, mid-week departures booked a few weeks out, with round trips commonly ₹12,000–18,000. Fares climb around Bihu (mid-April and autumn), the Durga Puja season, and the peak tourist window of October–March when Kaziranga and the hills are at their best, plus the December–January holidays. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheapest, and comparing all three carriers — or splitting the outbound and return — often saves money.

Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Bengaluru → Guwahati flight blocks about 3h 5m over roughly 2,039 km, tracking north-east across the country to the Brahmaputra valley — one of India's longer domestic sectors. Flying times are broadly symmetric in both directions. With both cities on Indian Standard Time there is no clock change, so a morning departure from Bengaluru lands in Guwahati in the early afternoon, leaving time for the onward drive — about 3 hours up to Shillong, or roughly 5 hours to Kaziranga. Early-morning and late-evening flights tend to carry the lowest fares.
Baggage & fares
On domestic economy, IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express all include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares. Excess baggage costs far less pre-paid online than at the airport counter, where it runs around ₹450–600 per extra kilo. Seat selection and onboard meals are paid add-ons on the cheapest fares. Because three carriers compete, watch for promotional fares — IndiGo's monthly sale, Akasa flash deals and Air India Express offers — which regularly drop the lowest Bangalore to Guwahati fare below the everyday floor. If you carry trekking or camera gear for the North-East, weigh bags beforehand.
Airports & terminals
Bengaluru (BLR) — Kempegowda International is about 35 km north of the city; domestic flights use Terminal 1 or the newer Terminal 2 depending on airline, so check your boarding pass before heading out. Guwahati (GAU) — Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport sits about 25 km west of the city centre and is the busiest airport in North-East India, with onward connections across the region. Pre-paid taxis and app cabs serve the run into Guwahati; for Shillong (~3 hours) and Kaziranga (~5 hours), it is best to pre-book a cab, as shared options thin out later in the day.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic Indian flight, so no visa or passport is required to fly. You only need a valid government photo ID matching the name on your ticket — Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, voter ID or PAN are all accepted at security. Children should carry a school ID or birth certificate. Note that while Assam and Meghalaya need no special permit, some neighbouring North-Eastern states — such as Arunachal Pradesh and Nagaland — require an Inner Line Permit (ILP) for onward travel, so check before continuing beyond Guwahati. Reach the airport about two hours before departure.
Best time to visit
Assam and the wider North-East are best from October to April, with cooler, drier weather ideal for the one-horned rhinos of Kaziranga (the park is generally open November–April), the Kamakhya Temple, river cruises on the Brahmaputra and the hills around Shillong. The famous Bihu festival lights up Assam in mid-April. The monsoon (May–September) is very wet — this is one of the rainiest regions on earth — and can disrupt road travel, though the landscape is spectacularly green.
