Airlines and non-stop options

Bengaluru (BLR) to Hubballi (HBX) is a genuine non-stop regional route, flown by turboprops and small regional jets rather than the big A320s — the airfield and demand suit smaller aircraft. The carriers in 2026:

No need to worry about Go First, Jet Airways or Vistara here — they no longer operate. Because the aircraft are small, seats are limited and fares can firm up fast, so book ahead.

Flight time, distance and routing

The distance is roughly 410 km and the non-stop takes about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes — slightly longer than a jet would, because the ATR-72 and Embraer regional aircraft cruise lower and slower than an A320. It's still by far the quickest way to cover the Bengaluru–Hubballi corridor: the road trip is around 6–7 hours and the train longer.

There's no reason to take a 1-stop itinerary on this route — the non-stops are frequent enough that a connection would only ever add time. If you can't get a direct flight on your date, shifting your timing by a few hours usually solves it.

Best time to book and seasonal fares

This is a business-and-VFR (visiting friends/relatives) route into north Karnataka, so demand tracks the working week and Karnataka festivals more than national holidays. Small aircraft mean limited seats — book 2–4 weeks ahead.

SeasonDemandTip
Dasara (Sep–Oct)HighKarnataka's biggest festival; book 4–6 weeks out
Diwali (Oct–Nov)HighVFR demand peaks; small planes sell out
Summer holidays (Apr–Jun)ModerateBook early; fewer seats than on jet routes
Monsoon (Jun–Sep)LowerCheaper, but turboprops feel weather more
Weekday business lull (mid-week)LowerTuesday/Wednesday fares are softest

These are patterns, not quoted prices — pull a live fare before booking.

Getting your fare cheaper

Best departure windows

The schedule clusters into an early-morning business bank (handy for a same-day return to Bengaluru) and an evening flight. The first flight out is the safest bet in the monsoon — turboprops are more weather-sensitive than jets, and afternoon build-ups over the Western Ghats can cause holds. There's no true red-eye on this short regional route; if you need an early start in Hubballi, take the previous evening's flight and stay overnight rather than gambling on a dawn departure.

Advice by traveller type

Airports and terminals

Bengaluru (BLR) — Kempegowda International: all domestic flights, including IndiGo, Star Air and Air India Express, depart from Terminal 1, which became domestic-only after international operations shifted to Terminal 2 in September 2023. Confirm your terminal on the ticket — BLR is large and the terminals are a shuttle ride apart.

Hubballi (HBX) — Hubballi Airport: a small single-terminal airport serving the Hubballi-Dharwad region. Check-in and security are quick, but the terminal is compact with limited retail, so don't plan to linger.

Getting to and from the airport

In Bengaluru: Kempegowda (BLR) is about 35–40 km north of the city at Devanahalli — budget 60–90 minutes by road, more in peak traffic. Use the Vayu Vajra airport buses, app cabs or pre-paid taxis. Leave plenty of time; the run from south Bengaluru is notoriously slow.

In Hubballi: the airport is around 8 km from the city centre, roughly 20 minutes by cab or auto. App cabs are available but thinner than in a metro, so pre-book if you arrive on a late flight. Hubballi is also a rail junction, useful if you're continuing to Dharwad, Goa or coastal Karnataka.

Baggage allowance

IndiGo and Air India Express domestic economy typically allow 15 kg checked + 7 kg cabin; Star Air's allowance is similar — check your fare. Note that on small ATR and Embraer aircraft, overhead bins are tight, so larger cabin bags may be gate-checked.

If you're carrying more, pre-purchase excess online — it's cheaper than the airport counter.

Travel tips

The southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep) is the main thing to plan around: north Karnataka and the Western Ghats see heavy rain, and turboprops feel weather more than jets, so expect the odd delay or hold. Take an early flight in those months. Winter and the post-monsoon months (Oct–Feb) are the smoothest and most pleasant for flying this route. Fog is rarely a factor here. Because seats are limited on small aircraft, a single cancelled flight can be hard to rebook same-day — keep a road/rail plan B in the monsoon.

FlightGPT tip

This is a small-aircraft route, so the usual metro logic flips: seats run out before fares spike in the obvious way, and a missed flight is genuinely hard to rebook the same day. Book your exact flight early rather than waiting for a deal, and if you're flying in the monsoon, take the first departure of the day — the afternoon Ghats weather is what bites turboprops.

Frequently asked questions

Which airlines fly from Bangalore to Hubli?

IndiGo (on ATR-72 turboprops), Star Air (Embraer regional jets), and Air India Express on some schedules. Go First, Jet Airways and Vistara no longer operate.

Is there a direct flight from Bangalore to Hubli?

Yes — it's a non-stop regional route with roughly 3–5 direct flights a day across the carriers, taking about 1 to 1h 15m.

How long is the Bangalore to Hubli flight?

About 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes non-stop. It's a touch longer than a jet would take because the aircraft are turboprops and regional jets.

How many flights run daily?

Roughly 3 to 5 non-stops a day combined across IndiGo, Star Air and Air India Express. Seats are limited because the aircraft are small.

When is the cheapest time to book?

Mid-week and the monsoon months are usually cheapest. Book 2–4 weeks ahead because small planes sell out fast, and 4–6 weeks ahead around Dasara and Diwali. No fixed prices — check live.

Which terminals does this route use?

At Bengaluru, all domestic flights use Terminal 1. Hubballi has a single terminal.

What is the baggage allowance?

Typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo and Air India Express; Star Air is similar. On small ATR/Embraer aircraft, larger cabin bags may be gate-checked due to tight bins.

Can I do web check-in?

Yes — IndiGo, Star Air and Air India Express all offer web check-in, usually from 48 hours before departure.

What are my rights if the flight is cancelled?

Under DGCA rules you're due a refund or free rebooking if the airline cancels, plus meals on long delays. On small-aircraft routes, same-day rebooking can be hard — see the DGCA passenger charter on dgca.gov.in.

Does weather affect this route?

Mainly the southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep), when Western Ghats weather can delay turboprops. Take the first flight of the day in those months. Fog is rarely an issue here.

Can I carry pets?

Pet carriage is limited on regional turboprop/jet operations. Check directly with IndiGo or Star Air well in advance, as space on small aircraft is restricted.

Is there an infant fare?

Yes. Infants under 2 on an adult's lap pay a nominal infant fare plus taxes. Carry age proof.

Should I take the first or last flight?

Take the first flight for the best monsoon weather odds and to enable a same-day return. If you need an early start in Hubballi, fly in the evening before and stay overnight.

Is it cheaper to book direct or via an OTA?

Fares are similar, but with so few daily flights, comparing IndiGo and Star Air directly matters more than the channel. Compare on FlightGPT, then book where changes and refunds are easiest.
