Looking for cheap flights from Coimbatore to Patna?

There is no non-stop on this long pair, so you fly a connecting ticket. IndiGo (6E) dominates with connections via Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Delhi, generally on one PNR. Air India (AI) routes through Delhi, and SpiceJet (SG) serves Patna on select legs. A single through-fare tags your bag to Patna and protects you if the first leg is delayed. Given the distance, prefer a through-ticket over self-transfer. Our Patna to Coimbatore guide covers the reverse.
A common path is CJB to Hyderabad (about 1h 20m) or Bengaluru (around 50 minutes), a 1–3 hour layover, then on to Patna (roughly 2h–2h 20m). Via Delhi adds distance but offers frequent onward flights. Overall elapsed time usually runs 5 to 7 hours. Because this is a long itinerary, give yourself at least 75–90 minutes for the transfer to absorb minor delays, especially if changing terminals at Delhi.
You arrive at Jay Prakash Narayan International Airport (PAT), about 5 km west of central Patna. App cabs and prepaid taxis reach the city in 15–25 minutes for roughly ₹200–₹450, with autos also available. PAT is a single-runway airport with a newer terminal, so plan about 30–40 minutes for baggage and exit. For onward travel to Nalanda, Bodh Gaya (around 110 km) or Vaishali, shared taxis and buses leave regularly from the city.
Cabin allowance is the usual 7 kg plus a personal item, with 15 kg of check-in on basic fares and paid upgrades above. On a connecting ticket the allowance follows the operating carrier. On this long route, economy one-way fares typically run ₹6,000–₹12,000, and they spike sharply around Chhath Puja in October–November. Booking 3–5 weeks ahead and avoiding the festival fortnight is the single biggest money-saver here.
Patna's winter (November to February) is pleasant, with highs around 22–28°C, but it overlaps with the huge Chhath travel rush when fares and trains both fill up. Summers (April–June) are very hot, and the monsoon (June–September) brings humidity and occasional flooding-related disruption. For lower fares, target February or the August–September window. If you must travel for Chhath, book 4–6 weeks ahead to avoid steep last-minute prices.
Patna, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities (ancient Pataliputra), is the gateway to Bihar's Buddhist and historical circuit — Bodh Gaya, Nalanda, Rajgir and Vaishali. City highlights include the Golghar granary, Patna Museum, Takht Sri Patna Sahib and the Ganges riverfront. It is also a major administrative and education centre. See our Patna airport guide for terminal and transport details.
Each passenger needs a valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence or passport. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure; complete it for both legs to secure seats and ease the transfer. DigiYatra is optional but speeds entry at enabled gates. On a single through-ticket, check your bag straight to Patna so you collect it just once. For a long connecting trip, reach the origin airport 2 hours early.
No, there is no non-stop on this 1,980 km route. All itineraries are 1-stop via Hyderabad, Bengaluru or Delhi, taking roughly 5 to 7 hours in total.
Plan for about 5 to 7 hours overall. For instance, CJB–Hyderabad is around 1h 20m and Hyderabad–Patna about 2h, plus a 1–3 hour layover.
IndiGo offers the most connections via 3 hubs — Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Delhi, while Air India and SpiceJet serve select legs. A single through-fare is the safest booking.
Economy one-way fares typically range ₹6,000–₹12,000 on this long pair, spiking around Chhath Puja in October–November. Book 3–5 weeks ahead for the best price.
Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT) is about 5 km from central Patna, a 15–25 minute cab ride costing roughly ₹200–₹450.
Yes. Bodh Gaya is about 110 km from PAT, a 2.5–3 hour drive by taxi or bus, making Patna a practical entry point for the Buddhist circuit.
What you pay on the Coimbatore–Patna route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Coimbatore to Patna live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across .
Last-minute Coimbatore to Patna fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Coimbatore Patna prices across — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
There is currently no non-stop service between Coimbatore and Patna — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 5h–7h (1-stop via Hyderabad/Bengaluru/Delhi). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Coimbatore Patna ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Coimbatore–Patna fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service carrier ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
