Looking for cheap flights from Bangalore to Penang?

Whether you want a Bangalore to Penang non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Bangalore-Penang fare is one search away.
There is no non-stop, so the choice is which hub to transit. The cheapest and most frequent option is usually AirAsia via Kuala Lumpur (KUL), whose low-cost network feeds the short KUL–Penang hop several times a day; Malaysia Airlines and Batik Air also route through KL. The other strong option is via Singapore — Singapore Airlines or Scoot from Bengaluru, connecting to the quick SIN–Penang sector. Roughly 15–17 connecting itineraries operate daily across all carriers. For the lowest fare, compare an AirAsia self-connect via KL against a single-ticket Singapore routing, factoring in baggage and connection comfort.
Penang's peak demand tracks the year-end holidays (December–January), Chinese New Year (Jan/Feb), and the George Town Festival and food-tourism season; Indian school holidays (April–June) also lift fares. The cheaper windows are typically February–March (post-CNY) and September–October. As of May 2026, indicative round-trip economy fares run roughly ₹22,000–35,000 depending on routing and season, with one-ways from around ₹12,000–15,000 on AirAsia sales. Booking 6–10 weeks ahead and travelling mid-week helps. Indicative only — check live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
The quickest single-stop journeys run about 8h 30m total via Kuala Lumpur: roughly a 4h 20m BLR–KUL leg, a connection, then a short ~1h KUL–Penang hop. Via Singapore is similar once you add the layover. Great-circle distance is around 3,400 km, but real routings via KL or SIN fly farther. Penang is 2h 30m ahead of India, so a morning Bengaluru departure lands in Penang in the evening the same day on a tight connection. If you self-connect on separate AirAsia tickets, allow a generous buffer at KL, since your bags will not transfer automatically.
On low-cost routings, AirAsia fares are typically cabin-only (7 kg) unless you add checked baggage — pre-purchase 20–25 kg online, as airport rates are steep. Full-service options like Malaysia Airlines and Singapore Airlines include around 30 kg in economy with the bag checked through to Penang. The key watch-out is the self-connect: if your Bengaluru–KL and KL–Penang legs are on separate AirAsia bookings, you must collect bags and clear immigration at KL, then re-check — so a single through-ticket is safer if you are tight on time. Request vegetarian or Jain meals on the full-service legs.
Bengaluru (BLR) — international flights depart the newer Terminal 2, about 35 km north of the city. Your hub is either Kuala Lumpur (KLIA Terminal 1 for full-service, KLIA Terminal 2 / klia2 for AirAsia — note these are separate buildings) or Singapore Changi. Penang International (PEN) sits at Bayan Lepas in the island's south, about 16 km from George Town — a 25–35 minute taxi or Grab ride. It is a single compact terminal; pre-paid taxi coupons and Grab are the easy ways into town. Allow time at your hub, as KL's two terminals require a shuttle transfer.
Good news: Malaysia is visa-free for Indian passport holders for tourist or transit stays of up to 30 days, a waiver currently extended through 31 December 2026. You must, however, complete the free Malaysia Digital Arrival Card (MDAC) online within three days before arrival, and carry a passport valid 6+ months, confirmed return tickets, hotel bookings and proof of sufficient funds. The waiver covers all international airports including Penang, so you can enter at PEN directly. It is for tourism/transit only — no work or study. Full guidance is in the Visas guide.
Penang is a year-round tropical destination, but the drier, sunnier months of December to April are the most comfortable for George Town's heritage streets, beach time at Batu Ferringhi and the famous hawker food. The George Town Festival (typically mid-year) and Thaipusam draw cultural visitors. The wetter inter-monsoon spells (around April–May and September–November) bring afternoon downpours but rarely wash out a trip. Avoid Chinese New Year if you dislike crowds and peak prices. For what to see and eat, check the Penang destination guide.
