Bengaluru-Pune is a busy, competitive route. IndiGo flies the most non-stops, with Akasa Air, Air India Express and Air India adding plenty more — together around 14-18 direct departures on a typical weekday. That density keeps fares competitive and gives you genuine choice of timing.
Almost everything here is non-stop. One-stop itineraries via Mumbai or Hyderabad show up on booking sites but only make sense if a connection is unusually cheap, since they roughly double your travel time for a 90-minute flight.
The distance is about 740 km and the non-stop flight runs roughly 1h 25m-1h 30m. Schedules show around 1h 30m-1h 40m once Bengaluru's taxi time is included — it is a large airport and ground movement can be slow at peak. The routing is a straightforward inland hop over the Deccan plateau with no terrain complications.
This is a year-round business and migration route, so fares stay fairly steady but climb around Diwali, Ganesh Chaturthi (big in Pune and Maharashtra), long weekends and the year-end holidays. Booking 2-4 weeks ahead generally lands a fair price.
| Period | Typical demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct-Nov (Diwali), Aug-Sep (Ganesh Chaturthi) | High | Festival peaks; book early |
| Dec-Jan (year-end) | High | Holiday and wedding-season demand |
| Feb-May | Moderate | Steady business traffic, sensible fares |
| Jun-Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Often the calmest fares; watch Pune monsoon delays |
Honest ways to pay less:
We never quote a guaranteed rupee fare — prices move daily. Compare live on FlightGPT.
Strong morning (06:00-09:00) and evening (18:00-22:00) banks suit business travellers, with steady mid-day options in between. For an early start in Pune, take a 06:00-ish departure. If you are connecting onward from Bengaluru's busy terminals, leave a comfortable buffer — morning departures are the safest for tight connections.
Bengaluru (BLR) — Kempegowda International — now operates two terminals. Most domestic flights use Terminal 1, while selected IndiGo and Air India services operate from the newer Terminal 2. The two are a short shuttle apart, so check which terminal your flight uses before you arrive.
Pune (PNQ) operates from a single integrated terminal at Lohegaon, shared with the Air Force station. It is compact; arrive in good time as security queues can build at peak.
Bengaluru: the airport is about 35-40 km north of the city at Devanahalli — a long drive in traffic. Use the airport's Vayu Vajra (BMTC) buses or app cabs and allow generous time, especially in the evening rush.
Pune: the airport is at Lohegaon, roughly 10 km from the city centre; app cabs and autorickshaws reach most areas in 30-45 minutes. Traffic to Hinjewadi and other IT hubs can be heavy, so plan accordingly.
Domestic economy typically includes 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag, but the lowest fares on Air India Express, Akasa and IndiGo can be hand-baggage-only. Confirm at booking and pre-pay any extra bag online — it is far cheaper than at the airport. See IndiGo baggage for the latest rules.
Both cities enjoy pleasant climates by Indian standards. Pune's monsoon (June-September) can bring rain delays, so keep some buffer in those months. Bengaluru's weather is mild year-round but its airport is far from the city — the commute, not the flight, is the part to plan for. Do web check-in on the app, carry a government photo ID, and reach the airport about 2 hours before departure.
The real time-sink on this route is the BLR airport commute, not the flight — build it into your plans rather than the 90-minute flight time. For the cheapest seat, compare all four carriers on an off-peak, hand-baggage-only fare. Check live prices on FlightGPT before you book.
The non-stop flight takes about 1 hour 25 to 30 minutes in the air; schedules show roughly 1h 30m-1h 40m once Bengaluru's taxi time is included.
IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air all operate direct flights, with IndiGo running the most.
On a typical weekday there are roughly 14-18 non-stop departures, well spread from early morning to late evening.
Most domestic flights use Terminal 1, while selected IndiGo and Air India services use the newer Terminal 2. Check which terminal your flight uses before arriving — they are a short shuttle apart.

Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative flight, processed within the prescribed timeframe.
Pune's monsoon (June-September) can cause rain-related delays. Keep some buffer in those months, especially for tight connections.
Trains between Bengaluru and Pune are much slower (often over a day), so flying is usually the practical choice when the fare is reasonable.
Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or hold subject to weight limits, advance booking and health paperwork. Policies differ, so confirm directly before booking.
Infants under 2 fly on an adult's lap at a reduced fare; carry the child's age proof. Strollers can usually be gate-checked free.
A valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID) is required at security and check-in. No visa is needed for domestic travel.
Both can work. Booking direct simplifies changes and refunds; OTAs sometimes bundle deals. Compare the all-in price including baggage on FlightGPT, then decide.
