Delhi (DEL) to Bangalore (BLR) is one of India's busiest trunk routes, served by five carriers non-stop. IndiGo runs the most departures by a wide margin, followed by Air India (full-service, with widebody aircraft on some rotations), with Akasa Air, Air India Express and SpiceJet adding further choice. Between them they operate roughly 60 or more non-stops a day — well over 240 a week — so you can fly almost any hour from the pre-dawn red-eye to the late-night last departure.
Note that Vistara has fully merged into Air India, so its former Delhi–Bangalore flights now operate under the Air India brand; Go First and Jet Airways are no longer operating. Compare every carrier, timing and live fare in the FlightGPT search.
The non-stop flight covers roughly 1,710 km and takes about 2h 45m gate to gate, tracking south from the capital across the Deccan to the Karnataka plateau. Block times vary by 10–15 minutes with aircraft type, routing and winds — southbound legs often run a touch shorter than the northbound return thanks to prevailing tailwinds — so check the exact timing of your chosen flight. It's a comfortable single-leg domestic hop with no change of plane. One-stop itineraries via Hyderabad or Mumbai exist and can be cheaper, but they add several hours; with this many non-stops, most travellers have no reason to connect.
As a business and tech-corridor route, Delhi–Bangalore fares track demand closely. Mid-week days (Tuesday and Wednesday) are usually the cheapest to fly; Friday evenings and Monday mornings carry the corporate rush and price highest. Fares climb around Diwali, the Christmas–New Year peak and long weekends, and ease through the monsoon shoulder. For routine travel, booking 2–3 weeks ahead usually balances price and choice on a route this frequent; only festival and long-weekend dates reward booking earlier. The tiers below are relative demand, not quoted prices.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Jul–Sep (monsoon shoulder) | Low | Softest of the year |
| Feb–Apr | Shoulder | Moderate |
| May–Jun (summer holidays) | High | Priced up |
| Oct–Jan (festivals + winter peak) | Peak | Book early |
Whatever the month, long weekends spike fares hard — treat them as mini-peaks and book ahead. Compare live pricing across the day's flights in the FlightGPT search.
Because so many flights compete here, timing is your strongest lever. Early-morning and late-night departures are usually the cheapest; mid-week beats weekends. A few honest tactics:
Avoid the myth that a specific 'cheapest day to book' exists — on a high-frequency route it's the day and hour you fly, not the day you buy, that moves the fare most.
This route behaves like a shuttle, so the hour you pick matters more than the day. Two daily peaks carry the heaviest demand: the early-morning bank (roughly 6–9am), which lands you in Bangalore for a working day, and the evening return bank (roughly 5–9pm). These cost most and bring the busiest security queues. The softer windows are predictable.
| Window | Who it suits | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Red-eye (~00:00–06:00) | Budget-first, flexible sleepers | Usually cheapest |
| Early-morning bank (~06:00–09:00) | Same-day business in Bangalore | Priced up |
| Midday lull (~11:00–15:00) | Leisure, families, value-seekers | Softer, daylight comfort |
| Evening bank (~17:00–21:00) | Same-day return commuters | Priced up |
| Late night (~21:00–23:59) | Flexible, late finishers | Often eases |
One Delhi-specific note: the early bank overlaps the December–January fog season, when low visibility most disrupts the 4–9am slots. A mid-morning or midday departure sidesteps the worst of it. Late-night and red-eye arrivals into BLR also conveniently dodge Bangalore's worst airport-road traffic.
Business travellers who must be in a Bangalore meeting by mid-morning should pay for the early bank with open eyes — it's the priciest window but the most reliable. If you want a flat-bed business cabin, check Air India's widebody rotations specifically. Carry hand baggage only to walk straight off the aircraft, and use DigiYatra at both ends to skip queues.
Families are usually better off in the midday lull: fares ease once business demand clears, you fly in daylight, and the airport is calmer for children. Pre-book seats together (low-cost carriers charge for this) and budget for at least one checked bag. The BLR road transfer is long, so factor a rest stop for young children.
Students and budget travellers get the best value on the red-eye and late-night flights mid-week, hand-baggage-only. Book 2–3 weeks ahead, stay flexible by a day, and compare all five carriers — the saving over a peak-bank fare can be substantial. Keep a valid photo ID handy; a student ID is not accepted for boarding, but Aadhaar or a driving licence is.
You depart Delhi's Indira Gandhi International (DEL) from Terminal 1 on IndiGo, Akasa or SpiceJet (IndiGo also uses the reopened Terminal 2 for some flights — check your boarding pass), or Terminal 3 on Air India and Air India Express. There is no airside link between Delhi's terminals; they are some distance apart and connected only by a landside shuttle, so confirm your terminal the night before.
You arrive at Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR). Here the split is the reverse of what many expect: IndiGo, Akasa and SpiceJet domestic flights use Terminal 1, while Air India, Air India Express and Star Air domestic flights use the garden-themed Terminal 2 ('Terminal in a Garden'). IndiGo's domestic operations remain at T1 even though it uses T2 for international — so always check your ticket. BLR sits about 35–40 km north of the city centre. See our full airport guides for terminal maps and detail.
At Delhi, the Airport Express (Orange Line) Metro runs New Delhi station to Terminal 3 in about 20 minutes; if you fly from T1 or T2 you alight at Aerocity and take the free DIAL inter-terminal shuttle, or use the Magenta Line's own 'Terminal 1–IGI Airport' station for T1 flights. App cabs and prepaid taxis are plentiful; allow extra buffer in the December–January fog window when road approaches back up. Give yourself 2 hours before a domestic departure plus city travel time.
At Bangalore, BLR is 35–40 km north of the centre and the transfer is the route's real time-sink — budget 45–90 minutes depending on traffic, which is notorious. The BMTC Vayu Vajra air-conditioned airport buses are a cheap, reliable option to most parts of the city; app cabs and the airport taxi counters also work well. A dedicated airport metro line is under construction but not yet open as of June 2026, so road remains the only option. For a very early outbound from Bangalore, consider an airport-area hotel the night before.
Domestic checked-baggage allowances are broadly standardised but vary by carrier and fare type — typically around 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard economy tickets, though low-fare 'hand-baggage-only' fares carry no free check-in. Always confirm at booking. For carrier-specific detail see IndiGo baggage, Air India baggage, Akasa Air baggage or SpiceJet baggage. Excess baggage is always cheaper pre-purchased online than at the airport counter.
Bangalore's weather is famously pleasant year-round, sitting at altitude with mild days and cool evenings — light layers work in most seasons, though carry rainwear during the south-west monsoon (June–September) and the second monsoon spell (October–November). Delhi's December–January fog is the main disruptor for this route: if you fly in that window, prefer a mid-morning departure and keep your plans flexible.
Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure and helps you secure a seat; DigiYatra speeds face-recognition entry at both DEL and BLR. If you're connecting onward from Bangalore, leave a generous buffer — the long airport-road transfer makes tight self-connections risky. Keep a valid government photo ID handy throughout.
On Delhi–Bangalore, the lowest fares cluster on the late-night and red-eye departures — which conveniently also dodge Bangalore's worst airport-road traffic on arrival. Mid-week (Tuesday/Wednesday) generally beats the Friday-evening and Monday-morning business peaks. Because BLR sits 35–40 km north of the city through heavy traffic, budget 45–90 minutes for the transfer and consider an airport-area hotel the night before a very early outbound. And double-check the terminal: at Bangalore it's IndiGo, Akasa and SpiceJet at T1, Air India and Air India Express at T2 — the opposite of what many first-time flyers assume.
The non-stop flight takes about 2h 45m gate to gate, covering roughly 1,710 km. Exact block times vary by 10–15 minutes with airline, aircraft and winds, so check your specific flight when booking.
Around 60 or more non-stop flights run daily across IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, Air India Express and SpiceJet, plus additional connecting options. The high frequency means you can fly almost any hour from the pre-dawn red-eye to the late-night last departure.
IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air, Air India Express and SpiceJet all operate non-stop, with IndiGo running the most departures. Vistara has merged into Air India, so its former flights now run under the Air India brand; Go First and Jet Airways are no longer operating.
At Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport, IndiGo, Akasa and SpiceJet domestic flights use Terminal 1, while Air India, Air India Express and Star Air use the garden-themed Terminal 2. IndiGo's domestic flights stay at T1 even though it uses T2 internationally, so always check your ticket.
From Delhi IGI, IndiGo, Akasa and SpiceJet use Terminal 1 (IndiGo also uses Terminal 2 for some flights), while Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 3. Delhi's terminals are some distance apart with no airside link, so confirm your terminal on your boarding pass the night before.
No — it's a domestic flight, so no passport or visa is needed. Carry a valid government photo ID such as Aadhaar, driving licence, passport or voter ID. Many travellers use DigiYatra for faster, contactless face-recognition entry at both ends.
Early-morning and late-night departures and mid-week days (Tuesday/Wednesday) are usually cheapest. Friday evenings, Monday mornings, festivals and long weekends cost more. Booking 2–3 weeks ahead balances price and choice on a route this frequent.
Typically around 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard economy fares, though it varies by carrier and fare type — and hand-baggage-only 'lite' fares include no free check-in. Confirm the specifics for your airline when booking, and buy any excess online in advance to save money.
Yes. Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure on all carriers and lets you choose a seat and skip counter queues. With DigiYatra enabled at both DEL and BLR, you can move through the airport using face recognition for an even faster experience.
Dense fog in December–January can delay or divert flights, mostly hitting the 4–9am slots. If you must travel then, prefer a mid-morning or midday departure and keep onward plans flexible. Airlines usually rebook you on the next available flight at no charge if your flight is cancelled due to fog.
Bangalore's monsoon (June–September, plus an October–November spell) brings rain but rarely the prolonged disruption that Delhi's winter fog causes. Occasional heavy showers can delay arrivals; carry rainwear and allow extra time for the long airport-road transfer in wet weather.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic flights, subject to advance booking, health certificates and a carrier fee — policies differ by airline and change over time. Arrange it directly with the airline well before travel; do not assume it's permitted, as not every carrier or aircraft accepts pets.
Yes. Infants under two years travel on a parent's lap for a nominal fee (a small fraction of the adult fare plus taxes) and do not get a separate seat. Carry the infant's age proof. Strollers can usually be checked at the gate; confirm cabin-bag and baggage rules for infants with your airline.
Prices are often similar, but airline websites sometimes run member-only fares while online travel agents occasionally bundle small discounts or cashback. The real saving is comparing every option at once: FlightGPT scans all carriers so you see the genuine lowest fare, then you can book wherever it's cheapest. Booking direct can make changes and refunds simpler.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative flight, and to compensation or care (meals, and accommodation for long delays) in defined circumstances. If you cancel, refunds depend on your fare type, but airlines may not levy a cancellation fee greater than the base fare plus fuel surcharge. Always check the fare rules before booking.
