Airlines flying Chennai to Jaipur
IndiGo (6E) is the primary carrier with a non-stop Chennai–Jaipur service, operating approximately one flight daily. If the non-stop timing doesn't suit, connecting flights via Delhi are plentiful — IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express all offer same-airline connections through DEL. A via-Mumbai routing on IndiGo is another option. The non-stop is the clear winner at about 2h 40m versus 5–7 hours on a connecting flight. Book early, as the single daily non-stop fills up quickly in peak tourist season.
Cheapest time to fly & book
Jaipur's tourist peak is October–March (cool, pleasant weather for sightseeing), and fares rise during Diwali, Christmas–New Year and the Jaipur Literature Festival (January). The summer months of April–June are the cheapest for flights, though Jaipur is extremely hot then. As of May 2026, one-way fares on the non-stop range roughly ₹5,000–9,000, with round trips ₹9,000–16,000. Connecting fares via Delhi can be slightly cheaper. Book 3–5 weeks ahead for the non-stop.

Flight duration & routing
The non-stop blocks about 2h 40m over roughly 1,600 km. Connecting flights via Delhi add about 3–4 hours (a ~2h 50m MAA–DEL leg, a layover, then ~1h DEL–JAI). With both cities on IST there is no time change. The non-stop is a comfortable mid-morning or evening departure that gets you to Jaipur without the hassle of a Delhi connection. If the non-stop is sold out, a Delhi connection is still faster than the 24+ hour rail journey.

IndiGo domestic economy includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares. Air India allows 25 kg on most economy tickets. Pre-book excess baggage online for the best rates. If you plan to shop in Jaipur — famous for its gemstones, textiles and handicrafts — consider pre-purchasing extra checked baggage for the return leg. Seat selection and meals are chargeable add-ons on IndiGo. Air India includes a snack or light meal on full-service fares for the 2h 40m journey.
