Hubli (Hubballi) to Bengaluru is a short intra-Karnataka hop served non-stop, with IndiGo the dominant carrier flying ATR 72 turboprops on the sector. Star Air, a regional carrier, has also operated this route with its Embraer regional jets, though days and frequencies change — verify before booking. Together you can expect roughly two to three non-stop departures a day. There is no need to consider a connection on such a short sector; the non-stop turboprop is the sensible choice.
Worth noting: the Go First brand that once flew regional routes is no longer operating, so ignore any old listing showing it — current non-stops are IndiGo-led, with Star Air as the regional alternative.
The distance is about 410 km and the non-stop flight takes roughly 1h 20m to 1h 25m, gate to gate. On the ATR 72 turboprop the cruise is lower and slower than a jet, but on a sub-90-minute hop the difference is marginal and the schedule is what matters. Both cities are on IST, so there is no time-zone change. The track runs broadly southeast from northern Karnataka down to Bengaluru — short enough that you are descending almost as soon as you have levelled off.
This is largely a business and connecting-traffic route, so demand is steadier than on leisure corridors. We do not quote fixed fares — check live prices — but here is the seasonal shape:
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (pleasant, festive) | Higher | Festive and wedding travel — book 2–3 weeks ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Moderate | Steady business demand; fair fares |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest; occasional weather delays |
Because frequencies are limited to a handful a day, fares firm up faster than on high-volume metro routes, so do not leave a needed seat to the last minute.
With only a few daily non-stops, your best lever is booking early — late seats on a low-frequency turboprop route climb quickly. Compare IndiGo against Star Air on the days both operate, as the regional fare can undercut. Midweek beats weekend. And on a flight this short, a hand-baggage-only fare is genuinely worth it if you can travel light. Set a fare alert and book when a workable departure dips, rather than waiting and watching the price rise as the date nears.
On a thin schedule, the departure window is largely set by what flies on your day. Where you can choose, a morning departure into Bengaluru is best for onward connections or a working day, and it avoids the late-evening city traffic on arrival. If you are connecting onward at BLR, the earlier flight gives the most buffer. In the monsoon, an earlier departure reduces exposure to afternoon storm delays. Always reconfirm the operating days, since regional schedules shift more than trunk routes.
Business travellers: the morning non-stop puts you in Bengaluru for a full working day; with only a few flights, plan around the schedule and keep a fallback in mind. Families: a sub-90-minute turboprop hop is easy with children — pick a daytime flight and book seats together. Students and budget travellers: the flight saves hours over the road or rail journey from northern Karnataka; a hand-baggage-only base fare booked a couple of weeks out is the cheapest honest option. The overnight bus and train remain budget fallbacks if fares spike.
Hubli Airport (HBX) is a compact single-terminal airport on the city's edge — quick to move through, with basic facilities. At Bengaluru's Kempegowda International (BLR), IndiGo domestic flights use Terminal 1 (T1), which is now a domestic-only terminal; Star Air domestic flights operate from Terminal 2 (T2). So check which terminal your carrier uses at BLR, especially if you have an onward connection — T1 and T2 are separate buildings linked by a shuttle, and you should budget time to move between them.
Hubli airport is just a few kilometres from the city centre — a short 15–20 minute cab ride. At the Bengaluru end, Kempegowda airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city, and the drive into central areas like MG Road or Whitefield can take 60–90 minutes or more in traffic, so plan generously. Airport shuttle buses (BMTC Vayu Vajra), app cabs and pre-paid taxis all serve the city; the upcoming metro link will eventually ease the journey, but for now allow plenty of buffer at the Bengaluru end.
As of June 2026, IndiGo domestic economy typically includes 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag on standard fares, with hand-baggage-only fares available at a lower price. On the ATR 72 turboprop, cabin-bag size and weight are enforced strictly given the smaller hold and overhead space, so do not over-pack hand baggage. Check current limits at IndiGo baggage. Star Air's regional fares carry their own allowance, so confirm it separately if you book that carrier.
Both Hubli and Bengaluru enjoy a relatively mild climate by Indian standards. Bengaluru is pleasant much of the year; the southwest monsoon (June–September) brings rain to both cities and the odd afternoon delay. October to March is the most comfortable travel window. Pack light layers — Bengaluru evenings can be cool — and a compact umbrella in the wet months. Carry original photo ID for boarding, and at the Bengaluru end, double-check your arrival terminal (T1 for IndiGo, T2 for Star Air) before arranging your onward pickup.
On a low-frequency route like this, the schedule matters as much as the fare. Use FlightGPT to see all the day's non-stops together — IndiGo and Star Air — so you can pick the departure that fits your day and grab it before the limited seats firm up. Checking both carriers at once also surfaces the cheaper regional fare when Star Air is flying on your date.
The non-stop takes about 1h 20m to 1h 25m, covering roughly 410 km. Both cities are on IST, so there is no time-zone change. It is a short turboprop hop on most flights.
Yes — around two to three non-stop flights operate daily, led by IndiGo on ATR 72 turboprops, with Star Air also serving the route on some days. Verify the current schedule for your dates.
IndiGo is the primary carrier, flying ATR 72 turboprops. Star Air, a regional carrier, has also operated the route with Embraer jets, though days and frequencies change. Ignore any old Go First listings — it no longer operates.
IndiGo domestic flights use Terminal 1 (T1), the domestic-only terminal at Kempegowda International. Star Air operates from Terminal 2 (T2). Check your carrier's terminal before arranging onward travel.
Under DGCA rules, an airline cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative flight. For long delays within the airline's control, you may also be due refreshments or rebooking.
As of June 2026, IndiGo economy typically allows 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on standard fares. On the ATR 72, cabin-bag size and weight are strictly enforced, so pack hand baggage carefully.
Yes. IndiGo web check-in opens about 48 hours before departure. Hubli's small airport processes quickly, but web check-in still saves time at the counter, especially with only cabin baggage.
The southwest monsoon (June–September) brings rain to both cities and occasional afternoon delays. An earlier departure is less exposed to storm-related holds, especially if you have an onward connection at BLR.
Pet carriage varies by airline and aircraft, and the smaller ATR 72 may restrict it. Arrange in advance with health and vaccination paperwork, and confirm with the airline before booking.
No — infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fee and must be added to the booking. Carry age proof, and request a bassinet seat where offered.
Kempegowda International (BLR) is about 35–40 km north of central Bengaluru, a 60–90 minute drive or more in traffic. Hubli airport, by contrast, is just a few kilometres from the city centre.
The flight is under 90 minutes versus several hours by road or rail from northern Karnataka. With a few daily non-stops, flying saves a half-day each way; the overnight bus and train remain budget fallbacks.
Because frequencies are limited, fares firm up faster than on metro routes. Book 2–3 weeks ahead in the busy October–March period, and compare IndiGo with Star Air on days both operate.
Base fares are generally similar. Booking direct gives the cleanest path for changes and refunds, while OTAs sometimes bundle small discounts. Compare both carriers either way on this low-frequency route.
