IndiGo began flying from Puducherry on 20 Dec, 2024, and the Airports Authority of India announced a second daily Bangalore rotation starting 01 May, 2026. That gives roughly two departures a day in each direction, about 14 a week. One recent timing had flight 6E 7142 leaving BLR at 16:00 and reaching Puducherry at 17:10; the second rotation runs at a different time of day, and both are retimed each schedule season. No other airline flies the route today, though SpiceJet and Alliance Air tried it in earlier years. Check the timings for your date, then search and compare the fare on FlightGPT before booking with IndiGo or a travel partner.
The road from Bangalore to Puducherry runs about 310 km via Hosur, Krishnagiri and Tiruvannamalai, and it usually takes six to seven hours, longer on a Friday evening when half of Bangalore heads out for the weekend. The flight is just 1 hour 10 minutes in the air. Add 90 minutes to reach Kempegowda and an hour at the airport, and the door-to-door time is still around half the drive. Flying makes the most sense for a short weekend, for older travellers who find a full day in a car tiring, and for anyone heading to Auroville or the French Quarter without needing a car at the other end. If you plan to explore Mahabalipuram and the East Coast Road, a self-drive trip may suit better.
Puducherry's runway is short, so IndiGo flies the route with ATR 72 turboprops of about 70–78 seats rather than A320 jets. Boarding at Bangalore is usually by bus to a remote stand, and the gate closes earlier than for jet flights, so reach your gate in good time. The ATR cruises lower and slower than a jet, which on a 267 km sector means you see the Eastern Ghats and the Tamil Nadu plains clearly from the window. Overhead lockers are small: a standard wheeled cabin bag may be taken at the aircraft door and returned on arrival. Seats on the right side heading south-east often get the coastline on the approach to Lawspet. Confirm the equipment on your booking, as IndiGo can swap types.
IndiGo's standard domestic economy allowance is 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag up to 115 cm in total dimensions, plus a small personal item such as a laptop bag or handbag. On the ATR, a large cabin trolley may still be tagged for the hold at the steps, so carry valuables, medication and chargers in your personal item. Some cheaper fare types sold by IndiGo or partners are hand-baggage only; check the fare details before you pay if you plan to check a suitcase. Excess baggage bought online in advance is cheaper than at the airport. Beachwear, sunscreen and books for a weekend usually fit comfortably within 7 kg, which is the simplest way to fly this route.
Pondicherry Airport sits at Lawspet, on the north-western side of the town, about 5–6 km from the White Town heritage area and the Promenade, a 15–20 minute ride. Auroville is about 8 km away by road to the north. There is no airport bus, so the practical choices are:
The terminal is small, so you are often outside within 15 minutes of landing. Many visitors rent a scooter for the stay, which needs a valid driving licence. Keep cash for autos.
This is a leisure route, so demand follows Bangalore's holiday calendar. Flights fill quickly on Friday evenings and Saturday mornings and on the Sunday or Monday return. The heaviest periods are the Christmas and New Year week, when the Promenade hosts large crowds, the Pongal long weekend in mid-January, long weekends such as Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti, and the April–May school holidays. The north-east monsoon from October to December brings heavy rain to the coast and can disrupt ATR operations on stormy days, so allow some slack. With roughly 140–150 seats a day each way, peak weekends sell out, so compare fares on FlightGPT as soon as your dates are firm.
Most weekend visitors fly back on Sunday afternoon or Monday morning; read our Puducherry to Bangalore guide for that direction. IndiGo also flies Puducherry to Hyderabad, and a Rajahmundry service runs via Hyderabad, but there are no non-stops to Mumbai, Delhi or Goa. If the PNY flights are full, the nearest big airport is Chennai, about 150 km north along the East Coast Road, three to four hours by car, with many flights to Bangalore. Tiruchirappalli is another option to the south-west. If you mix a flight with a road leg, book a car in advance on holiday weekends, when Chennai–Puducherry taxis are in demand.
Yes. IndiGo flies non-stop from Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) to Pondicherry Airport (PNY) at Lawspet, with about two flights a day since 01 May, 2026. It is the only airline on the Bangalore to Puducherry route.
The Bangalore to Puducherry flight is about 1 hour 10 minutes for the 267 km sector. One recent IndiGo timing, 6E 7142, left BLR at 16:00 and landed at Puducherry at 17:10.
IndiGo uses ATR 72 turboprops on Bangalore to Puducherry because Pondicherry Airport's runway is too short for routine A320 jet operations. Expect bus boarding at BLR and small overhead lockers.
Pondicherry Airport at Lawspet is about 5–6 km from White Town and the Promenade, a 15–20 minute auto or cab ride. Auroville is about 8 km north of the airport by road.
IndiGo economy on Bangalore to Puducherry normally includes 15 kg of check-in baggage and one 7 kg cabin bag plus a small personal item. On the ATR 72, large cabin trolleys may be tagged at the aircraft door.
Driving Bangalore to Puducherry covers about 310 km and takes six to seven hours. The IndiGo flight takes about 1 hour 10 minutes, so even with airport time it roughly halves the journey, especially on Friday evenings.
