Looking for cheap flights from Bangalore to Shirdi? FlightGPT compares live BLR to SAG fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

IndiGo operates the non-stop service from Bengaluru (BLR) to Shirdi (SAG) — roughly one flight a day, about seven a week. With a non-stop taking only around 1h 40m, it is comfortably the best way to reach the Sai Baba pilgrimage town from Bengaluru.
Shirdi is a compact airport with limited capacity, so frequencies are modest and other carriers generally reach it via a connection (commonly through Hyderabad or Mumbai). If IndiGo's single daily non-stop suits your dates, book it; if not, a 1-stop itinerary is the fallback. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard any older listings showing them.
The non-stop covers about 825 km in roughly 1 hour 40 minutes — a short, single-leg hop on IndiGo's Airbus A320/A321 family. A connecting itinerary via Hyderabad or Mumbai stretches the journey to several hours once the layover is counted, so the non-stop saves a meaningful amount of time on what is otherwise a quick sector.
Shirdi's traffic is driven by pilgrimage rather than leisure seasons, so demand spikes around festivals and weekends linked to temple events.
| Period | Demand | Fare pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Festival and Thursday-linked weekends | High | Highest — book well ahead |
| Oct–Mar (pleasant weather) | Moderate–high | Elevated on weekends |
| Apr–Jun (hot) | Moderate | Often softer mid-week |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Usually the softest fares |
We do not quote specific rupee fares as they change daily. With only one non-stop a day, the best advice is simple: book early for festival periods and weekends, when the single flight fills quickly.
Honest ways to pay less on this route:
IndiGo's non-stop typically departs Bengaluru in the morning, landing in Shirdi by early afternoon — convenient for darshan the same day. Because there is only one non-stop, your window is effectively set by that schedule; reach BLR Terminal 1 with margin, as missing it likely means a connecting itinerary or a 24-hour wait. If you connect via Hyderabad or Mumbai, an early start gives the best onward options.
Pilgrims and families: The morning non-stop lands you in time for afternoon darshan. Book the temple visit and accommodation around the flight, and carry IDs for everyone, as Shirdi gets very busy on weekends.
Business travellers: Shirdi is rarely a business destination, but the quick non-stop makes a same-day visit feasible if the single flight fits your plans.
Students and budget travellers: Mid-week and monsoon-shoulder departures are kinder on the wallet. If the non-stop is dear, compare a Hyderabad connection before booking.
Bengaluru (BLR): IndiGo's Shirdi non-stop departs from Terminal 1 of Kempegowda International Airport. Reconfirm on your ticket, as Air India mainline and some others use Terminal 2 at Bengaluru.
Shirdi (SAG): Shirdi Airport has a single terminal and sits about 14 km south of the Sai Baba temple. It is a small, modern airport built primarily for pilgrim traffic, so facilities are basic but adequate. Taxis and pre-arranged transfers cover the short run to the temple.
In Bengaluru: Kempegowda International is well to the north of the city; allow 60–90 minutes from central areas by app-cab, airport bus or the airport expressway, more in peak traffic.
In Shirdi: The airport is about 14 km from the temple — roughly 25–30 minutes by taxi. Pre-paid taxis and hotel pickups are available; many pilgrims arrange a transfer in advance, as auto availability at the airport is limited.
IndiGo's standard domestic allowance is 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on a basic fare. If you plan to carry prasad or temple offerings home, factor that into your return allowance. See IndiGo baggage for the current limits and excess-baggage charges before you pack.
Shirdi is pleasant from October to March and hot in the pre-monsoon months. The monsoon (June–September) brings rain but rarely disrupts this short flight. The temple is busiest on weekends and festival days, so plan darshan timing accordingly and dress modestly. Bengaluru's mild climate means you may need a light layer on arrival; Shirdi is warmer. Both share IST, so there is no time adjustment.
With a single non-stop a day, book early for weekends and festival periods when Shirdi demand peaks. Use FlightGPT to compare IndiGo's non-stop against a Hyderabad or Mumbai connection so you can judge whether the time saved justifies the fare.
