Airlines flying Delhi to Shirdi
IndiGo (6E) is the carrier operating the non-stop Delhi → Shirdi sector into Shirdi International (SAG), typically with around one direct departure a day, usually in the early afternoon. Because frequency on the non-stop is limited, many travellers also use 1-stop itineraries via Mumbai or Hyderabad on IndiGo, Air India or Air India Express, which open up more timings — or fly into Mumbai or Pune and continue by road. For the simplest trip, the direct IndiGo flight is the obvious choice when its single daily slot suits your plans; otherwise compare the 1-stop fares and a road leg from Mumbai or Aurangabad.
Cheapest time to fly & book
As of May 2026, the cheapest Delhi to Shirdi one-way fares open from around ₹4,500–7,000 on IndiGo for off-peak, mid-week departures booked a couple of weeks out, with round trips commonly ₹9,000–15,000. Fares climb sharply around Ram Navami, Guru Purnima, the Sai Baba Punyatithi and other temple festivals, when pilgrim demand peaks, as well as weekends and school holidays. Because there is usually only one non-stop a day, it can sell out early on busy dates — book ahead. Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually cheapest. Indicative ranges only — live fares are one query away in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Delhi → Shirdi flight blocks about 1h 55m over an aerial distance of roughly 1,024 km, a straightforward southerly hop into northern Maharashtra. Northbound and southbound times are broadly similar. With both cities on Indian Standard Time there is no clock change, so an early-afternoon departure from Delhi lands at Shirdi in time for an evening darshan or a temple visit the next morning. If the single daily non-stop does not suit, a 1-stop routing via Mumbai or Hyderabad adds a few hours but opens up more departure times across the day.
Baggage & fares
On domestic economy, IndiGo includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares; if your itinerary uses Air India or Air India Express on a connection, their exact allowance can vary by fare type, so confirm at booking. Excess baggage is far cheaper pre-paid online than at the airport counter, where it runs around ₹450–600 per extra kilo. Seat selection and onboard meals are chargeable add-ons on the cheapest fare buckets. Pilgrims often travel light for a short temple visit; if you are carrying prasad or offerings, keep liquids within cabin limits and check any restricted items before security.
Airports & terminals
Delhi (DEL) — Indira Gandhi International is in the south-west of the city; IndiGo's domestic flights use Terminal 1 or Terminal 3 depending on the service, so check your boarding pass. Shirdi (SAG) — Shirdi International Airport at Kakadi is about 14 km from the Sai Baba temple, a 25–30 minute drive, with taxis, app cabs and shuttle services to the temple town. The airport has a single passenger terminal. Arrive about two hours before a domestic departure from Delhi. From Shirdi, the airport is also a convenient gateway for Shani Shingnapur and the Ajanta–Ellora caves near Aurangabad.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic Indian flight, so there is no visa or passport requirement. You simply need a valid government photo ID that matches the name on your ticket — Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, voter ID or PAN card are all accepted at security. For children travelling, carry a school ID or birth certificate. Reach the airport about two hours before a domestic departure, and keep your ID and boarding pass handy at terminal entry and security. No special permit is needed for Shirdi or anywhere in Maharashtra; the temple itself is open to all visitors.
Best time to visit
Shirdi can be visited year-round, but the most comfortable weather is October to March, when cool, dry days suit temple visits and side-trips. The temple is busiest around major festivals — Ram Navami, Guru Purnima, Vijayadashami/the Sai Baba Punyatithi and Gurupushyamrut — and on weekends, when queues for darshan are long, so allow extra time or book aarti slots ahead. Summers (April–June) are hot, and the monsoon (July–September) brings rain to the region. For early-morning darshan, an overnight stay near the temple helps.
