Bangalore to Rajkot flights — quick facts

Is there a nonstop Bangalore to Rajkot flight?

Yes — IndiGo operates a nonstop Bangalore–Rajkot service in 2026, typically a daily-level frequency rather than multiple departures a day, reflecting Rajkot's status as a growing regional hub. The direct flight saves you a connection and is the obvious pick when its single daily slot suits your plans. If it doesn't, you can connect via Mumbai (BOM) or Ahmedabad (AMD) on IndiGo or Air India, both strong feeders into Rajkot. Note that Rajkot moved its operations to the newer Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar, which expanded capacity and may broaden services over time. Because the nonstop runs limited frequency, book ahead for the date you want; check live timings and alternatives on our routes hub.

Flight time and distance explained

The aerial distance from Bangalore to Rajkot is roughly 1,250 km, and the nonstop flight time is about 2 hours 20 minutes — a comfortable medium short-haul sector cutting diagonally across the subcontinent from the southern Deccan to the Saurashtra peninsula. On the direct flight, expect a buy-on-board snack rather than a full meal. If you instead connect via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, total travel typically stretches to ≈4.5 to 6.5 hours including the layover, which is the main reason the nonstop is worth securing when it aligns with your dates. Door to door, also account for the new Rajkot airport's location outside the city, which adds drive time at the Gujarat end compared with the old in-town airfield.

Nonstop or connect via Mumbai/Ahmedabad?

The IndiGo nonstop is the simplest, fastest option, but with limited frequency it won't fit every itinerary. When you need to connect, Mumbai is the busier, higher-frequency hub with many onward Rajkot flights, while Ahmedabad is geographically closer to Rajkot and offers both flights and a viable road option for the final leg. For a connecting trip, an all-IndiGo through-ticket via Mumbai keeps bags tagged and the connection protected; Air India is a fallback if its timings suit. Keep a domestic layover in the roughly 60–120 minute range — enough buffer if the first leg is late, without dragging the day. Compare the nonstop fare against the best one-stop option, since the time saving usually justifies a small price difference.

Best time to book this route

Because the nonstop runs limited frequency, its cheap seats sell early, so booking 3 to 6 weeks ahead is the safe play; last-minute fares on a thin route can climb sharply. Mid-week departures are generally softer than Friday and Sunday, when weekend and business travel peaks between the two industrial cities. Avoid Diwali and the year-end holiday rush, which drive heavy Gujarat-bound travel, as well as major Gujarati festival periods. If the direct fare is high on your date, price a one-stop via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, which sometimes undercuts it. A fare alert and a day or two of flexibility are particularly useful here, given how few cheap nonstop seats exist on any given day.

Baggage and fare basics

IndiGo's standard domestic economy in 2026 includes a 7 kg cabin bag plus a personal item and around 15 kg of checked baggage, though the cheapest 'lite' buckets may charge separately for the hold bag — confirm your fare's allowance before paying. On the nonstop there's no transfer to manage: one bag drop at Bangalore, reclaim at Rajkot. Business and trade travellers on this corridor often carry checked bags or samples, so factor any add-on baggage fee into your fare comparison. If you end up on a connecting itinerary via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, book it as a single through-ticket so your bags are tagged all the way to Rajkot rather than re-checked at the hub, and the airline owns any missed connection.

The airports at Bangalore and Rajkot

You depart Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), a large modern hub north of Bengaluru — allow time for the long drive from the city and for movement within the terminal. You arrive at Rajkot International Airport (RAJ) at Hirasar, the newer greenfield airport that replaced the older city airfield; it sits roughly 30 km from Rajkot city along the Ahmedabad highway, so plan for a taxi or app cab for the final stretch. The Hirasar facility expanded Rajkot's capacity and can handle larger aircraft than the old airport. The key planning points are Bengaluru's airport being well north of the city and Rajkot's new airport being out of town — both add to your door-to-door time at each end.

Documents needed for this domestic flight

Bangalore and Rajkot are both in India, so no visa or passport is required — this is a domestic journey. Carry one valid government-issued photo ID matching your ticket name: Aadhaar, driving licence, voter ID or passport all qualify, and DigiYatra is available at Bengaluru for a faster, paperless boarding. Given both airports' out-of-town locations, leave home early and aim to reach the airport about 2 hours before departure. Children without their own photo ID should carry a birth certificate or school ID. Keep your ID handy through security and boarding, and if you happen to be on a connecting itinerary via Mumbai or Ahmedabad, have it ready again at the transfer hub.

Arriving in Rajkot and Saurashtra

Rajkot is the commercial heart of the Saurashtra region, known for its engineering and jewellery industries, Gandhi's boyhood home and a strong food culture, and it's a gateway to Gir National Park (Asiatic lions), Somnath and the wider peninsula. From Hirasar airport, the drive into Rajkot city takes around 40–50 minutes, after which onward roads fan out to Junagadh, Jamnagar and the coast. For Bengaluru's many Gujarati professionals and traders, the nonstop is a valuable direct link home.
