Yes, but it is a limited service. IndiGo runs direct flights on this sector, typically one or two non-stops a day, with the non-stop flying time around 2h 35m. Air India and others mainly offer connecting itineraries via Delhi, which is also a popular way to fly this route. If a direct flight does not fit your timing, a Delhi connection is the usual fallback.
Go First and Jet Airways are no longer flying, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so plan around IndiGo for the non-stop and Air India for connections.
The great-circle distance is about 1,470 km. A non-stop is scheduled at roughly 2h 35m. A Delhi connection adds a layover and pushes the total to five hours or more, but it gives you many more departure times to choose from. Both cities are on IST, so there is no time change to factor in.
Chandigarh is both a destination and a gateway to the hills, so demand tracks the holiday calendar:
| Period | Demand | Fare trend |
|---|---|---|
| Apr–Jun (hill-station season) | High | Firm — book 3–5 weeks ahead |
| Oct–Mar (winter/holidays) | High | Steady, spikes around festivals |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | Better mid-week value |
| Shoulder weeks | Lower | Cheapest fares |
Because non-stop frequency is thin, the direct flights sell out faster than on busier routes — book early if the timing matters.
On a limited-frequency long route, a few tactics help:
FlightGPT compares the direct flight and connecting options together at the all-in price, so you can judge cost against journey time.
A morning non-stop, where available, gets you into Chandigarh by early afternoon — ideal if you are driving on to Shimla, Manali or into Punjab the same day. If you take a Delhi connection, an early start leaves room to recover from any first-leg delay. Late departures suit a full working day in Hyderabad first.
Business: If your meeting is in Chandigarh or Mohali, the non-stop is worth booking ahead for; otherwise a Delhi connection gives more timing options. Travel cabin-only.
Families: A non-stop is far easier with children than a connection, so grab one early if the schedule works; if you must connect, leave a comfortable layover and pack snacks.
Students: A Delhi connection is often the cheapest way to fly this route. Book early, travel light and carry a valid ID.
Hyderabad (HYD): Rajiv Gandhi International Airport runs from a single integrated terminal for all flights. Chandigarh (IXC): Chandigarh International Airport (Shaheed Bhagat Singh) at Mohali also operates from a single integrated terminal handling domestic and international services, so navigation is simple at both ends.
Hyderabad airport is about 22 km south of the city near Shamshabad; allow 45–75 minutes by cab or the Pushpak bus. Chandigarh's airport is roughly 11 km south-east of the city at Mohali, about 30–45 minutes by taxi to the central sectors, and it is a common pickup point for taxis to Shimla, Manali and across Punjab. Pre-paid taxis and app cabs operate at both.
IndiGo and Air India domestic economy generally allow 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag, varying by fare. On a connecting ticket the allowance applies to the whole journey. Confirm before flying: IndiGo baggage. Pre-pay any excess online to avoid airport charges.
Chandigarh is hot in summer (April–June) and cold in winter, with December–January fog that can delay early flights and any Delhi connection. Hyderabad stays warm most of the year. If you are heading into the hills, pack warm layers regardless of the season at Chandigarh. Build a buffer into winter morning itineraries to absorb possible fog delays.
With non-stop frequency thin on this route, the cheapest option is often a Delhi connection rather than the direct flight. Use FlightGPT to compare both at the all-in price and decide whether the time saved on the non-stop is worth the fare difference for your date.
Yes, but it is limited — IndiGo runs roughly one to two non-stops a day at about 2h 35m. Many travellers also connect via Delhi.
A non-stop is scheduled at about 2h 35m. A Delhi connection takes five hours or more including the layover.

The non-stop saves the most time, but a Delhi connection often gives more departure choices and can be cheaper. Compare both for your date.
Mid-week dates booked three to five weeks ahead, outside the April–June hill-station rush and festival peaks, give the best fares.
Yes. Under DGCA rules a cancellation by the airline entitles you to a full refund or an alternative flight, plus compensation depending on notice. On a through-ticket the carrier must re-route you.
Standard domestic economy is 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag, varying by carrier and fare; on a connection it applies to the whole journey. See IndiGo baggage.
Yes. IndiGo and Air India open web check-in 48 hours before departure. On a single through-ticket you usually check in once for the whole journey.
Yes. Chandigarh and Delhi see dense December–January fog that can delay morning flights and connections. A later slot or a generous layover reduces the risk.
Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic routes with advance booking and paperwork; policies differ, so confirm with the carrier, and check both legs if connecting.
