Airlines flying Bangalore to Patna
The route is competitive and well served. IndiGo (6E) runs the most non-stop frequencies on its A320neo / A321neo fleet (flights such as 6E463 and 6E6120), with Air India (AI) adding narrowbody services, and Air India Express (IX) and SpiceJet (SG) contributing further Boeing 737 departures. Between them there are roughly six-plus non-stops a day, spread from early morning to evening. That depth keeps fares keen and gives plenty of timing flexibility, so there is rarely any need to take a 1-stop connection via Delhi, Hyderabad or Kolkata unless a specific cheap fare tempts you.
Cheapest time to fly & book
As of May 2026, the cheapest Bangalore to Patna one-way fares open from around ₹6,400–8,000 on IndiGo and the budget carriers for off-peak, mid-week departures booked a few weeks ahead, with round trips commonly ₹12,000–18,000. Fares spike hard around Chhath Puja (October–November) — the biggest homecoming festival for Biharis — and over Diwali and the December–January holidays, when this becomes one of India's most demand-heavy routes. Book Chhath and Diwali travel 6–10 weeks ahead. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheapest. Live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Bengaluru → Patna flight blocks about 2h 40m over roughly 1,580 km, tracking north-north-east across the Deccan and the Gangetic plain — one of the longer domestic sectors in India. Flying times are broadly symmetric in both directions, give or take winds. With both cities on Indian Standard Time there is no clock change, so a morning Bengaluru departure lands in Patna around midday, leaving time for an onward road trip to Bodh Gaya (~110 km) or Nalanda. Early-morning and late-evening flights typically carry the lowest fares.
Baggage & fares
On domestic economy, IndiGo, Air India Express and SpiceJet all include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares, while full-service Air India typically allows 25 kg checked in economy — handy if you are carrying gifts home. Excess baggage is far cheaper pre-paid online than at the airport (roughly ₹500–600 per extra kilo at the counter). Seat selection and hot meals are paid add-ons on the cheapest low-cost fares. With four carriers competing, watch for IndiGo's monthly sale, Air India Express offers and SpiceJet flash deals, which regularly drop the lowest Bangalore to Patna fare below the everyday floor.
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 setting out. Patna (PAT) — Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport sits very close to the city, only about 5 km from the centre, so taxis and app cabs reach central Patna in 15–20 minutes. Patna's runway is relatively short and hemmed in by the city, so operations can be sensitive to weather and winter fog — allow buffer time on December and January mornings.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic Indian flight, so no visa or passport is required. 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. Aim to reach the airport about two hours before departure (more during the Chhath rush), and keep your ID and boarding pass ready at terminal entry and the security check.
Best time to visit
Bihar is most pleasant from October to March, with cooler, drier weather ideal for the Buddhist circuit — the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodh Gaya, the ruins of Nalanda, and Vaishali — plus the ghats of Patna. The Chhath Puja festival (October–November) on the Ganges is a remarkable sight but coincides with peak travel and crowds. Summers (April–June) are very hot, and the monsoon (July–September) is humid with possible flooding. For more on the city and the Buddhist sites, see the Patna destination guide.
