This is a connecting market with no non-stop. IndiGo (6E) carries most traffic, routing through Bengaluru, Delhi or Hyderabad on a single ticket. Air India (AI) competes via Delhi and Bengaluru. Buying both legs on one airline means your baggage is tagged through to Mangalore and your onward flight is protected if the first leg is late — worthwhile insurance on a 2,080 km, two-leg trip across the length of the country.
Bengaluru is the natural southern hub for Mangalore, with frequent short onward hops to the coast; Delhi works from the Chandigarh end thanks to the quick first leg and dense schedules. Hyderabad is a third option. Total elapsed time is usually 5 to 7 hours with a 1–2 hour layover. Allow at least 75–90 minutes between legs at busy hubs.

Mangalore International Airport (IXE) is a tabletop airport at Bajpe, about 13–15 km from the city centre. A taxi into Mangaluru takes 30–40 minutes and costs roughly ₹500–₹800. The airport handles both domestic and Gulf services and can be busy with overseas workers. Mangalore is the gateway to the Dakshina Kannada coast, Udupi's temples and the Western Ghats, with onward road links to Coorg and the beaches further south.
Economy includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo and Air India, applied across the whole connecting journey on a through-ticket. Economy one-way fares typically range from ₹6,500 to ₹13,000, swinging with season and lead time, and peak around the December–January and April–May holiday windows. On a 2-leg trip, balance layover length against price. Booking 3–6 weeks ahead usually delivers the best value on this long route.
Coastal Karnataka is hot and humid much of the year. The most comfortable and busiest window is December–January, with another bump during April–May summer holidays. The south-west monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain to the coast but also the cheapest fares. February–April before the heat peaks is another value window. From Chandigarh, May–June school holidays can lift demand, so check both ends of the route.
Mangaluru is a vibrant port city blending Tulu, Konkani and Beary cultures on Karnataka's Arabian Sea coast. Panambur and Tannirbhavi beaches, the Kadri Manjunath temple, St Aloysius Chapel and the bustling old port are highlights, and the cuisine — Mangalorean fish curry, neer dosa, ghee roast — is a draw in itself. The city is also the launch point for Udupi, Murudeshwar and the lush Western Ghats inland.
For domestic flights you need only a valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence, voter card or passport — matching your ticket; no visa or extra paperwork applies.

On a connecting ticket, confirm whether you re-clear security at the hub and keep a comfortable 75–90 minute buffer.
