Hyderabad (HYD) to Patna (PAT) is served by a handful of daily non-stop flights. As of 2026 the carriers operating direct on this sector are IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air. IndiGo typically runs the most frequencies; the others add one or two departures depending on the day.
If a non-stop time does not suit you, the same carriers also sell one-stop itineraries that connect through hubs such as Delhi, Kolkata or Bengaluru. Those add a few hours but sometimes price lower in peak season. Note that Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so you will only see the carriers listed above when you search this route.
The direct distance from Hyderabad to Patna is about 1,440 km. A non-stop flight covers it in roughly 2h 5m to 2h 20m gate to gate, depending on winds and the aircraft type. One-stop journeys with a sensible layover usually land in the 4h 30m to 7h range, so the non-stop is well worth it if your timings allow.
Both cities run on Indian Standard Time, so there is no time-zone adjustment — your arrival clock time is simply departure time plus flight time.
Fares on this corridor swing with festival demand into Bihar. Chhath Puja (October–November) and the Diwali period see the sharpest spikes, as do summer school holidays. Booking two to four weeks ahead generally lands a better fare than buying at the last minute.
| Period | Typical demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Nov (Chhath, Diwali) | Very high | Book 4–6 weeks ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer break) | High | Book 3–4 weeks ahead |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Moderate | 2–3 weeks usually fine |
| Jan–Feb | Lower | More last-minute deals |

A few practical levers on Hyderabad–Patna:
Morning departures are the safest bet here. Patna sees dense winter fog from mid-December into January, and early flights are more likely to depart before visibility drops or recover quickly if delayed. Late-evening arrivals into Patna can be affected when fog rolls in after dusk in peak winter, so an afternoon or early-evening arrival is the sweet spot in the cold months. Outside winter, timing is mostly down to your own convenience.
Business travellers: take the earliest non-stop and aim to be back the same evening — frequencies thin out late in the day, so a missed morning flight can cost you a full working day. Air India offers a business cabin on some departures; the LCCs are all-economy.
Families: a non-stop is far easier with children than a Delhi or Kolkata connection. Pre-book seats together and pick a daytime departure so you are not arriving into Patna late at night.
Students and budget travellers: set a fare alert, stay flexible on the date, and travel mid-week. Hand-baggage-only fares on the LCCs are the cheapest way to fly this route.
Hyderabad — Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD): a single modern integrated terminal handles all domestic and international flights, so every carrier on this route departs from the same building. It sits at Shamshabad, about 25–30 km south of the city centre.
Patna — Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT): a compact single-terminal airport that recently added a new, larger terminal building. It is unusually close to the city — roughly 5 km from the centre — which makes onward transfers quick. Because it is a constrained urban airfield, schedules can tighten in fog season.
In Hyderabad: the airport is well connected by Pushpak AC airport buses, app cabs (Ola/Uber) and the Airport Express road via the Outer Ring Road. Allow 45–75 minutes from most parts of the city depending on traffic and the time of day.
In Patna: the airport's central location means cabs and autos reach Patna Junction, Gandhi Maidan and most hotels in 15–25 minutes outside peak hours. Prepaid taxis and app cabs are available at arrivals.
On domestic economy fares, the standard checked allowance is typically 15 kg, with 7 kg of cabin baggage, though this varies by airline and fare type. Always check your specific fare before you fly. See IndiGo baggage for the current rules, and the carrier's own page if you book Air India, Air India Express or Akasa. Excess baggage is far cheaper pre-paid online than at the airport counter.
Hyderabad is comfortable most of the year, hottest in April–May. Patna's big variables are winter fog (December–January), which is the main cause of delays on this route, and the monsoon (July–September), when afternoon thunderstorms can cause go-arounds. If you are travelling in deep winter, build slack into onward plans and prefer a morning flight. Pack light cottons for Patna's humid summer and a warm layer for January mornings.
For Hyderabad–Patna, book the first non-stop of the day in winter and keep your return for the early afternoon — that single choice sidesteps most fog-season disruption on this corridor. Compare all four carriers in one go on FlightGPT rather than checking each airline separately.
Yes. Around 3–4 non-stop flights operate daily, flown by IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air. One-stop options via Delhi, Kolkata or Bengaluru are also available.
A non-stop takes roughly 2h 5m to 2h 20m. One-stop itineraries usually run 4h 30m to 7h depending on the layover.
IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express and Akasa Air. Go First and Jet Airways have shut down, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so they no longer appear as separate options.
Jay Prakash Narayan Airport is about 5 km from central Patna — one of the closest city airports in India, so transfers take only 15–25 minutes outside peak traffic.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, airlines must refund statutory taxes and fees even on non-refundable fares, and the basic fare per the fare rules. Cancelling directly with the airline is usually the cleanest route. If the airline cancels the flight, you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative.
Economy fares typically include 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin, but it varies by airline and fare. Check your fare conditions and pre-pay any excess online to save money.
Most carriers open web check-in 48 hours before departure and close it 1–2 hours before. Doing it online lets you pick seats and skip queues at Hyderabad.
It can. Patna sees dense fog from mid-December into January, which causes delays and occasional diversions. Booking a morning departure reduces your exposure and keeps recovery options open.
Occasionally. July–September thunderstorms over eastern India can cause short delays or go-arounds at Patna, but disruption is usually less severe than winter fog.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic routes subject to advance booking, weight limits and a health certificate; others do not. Confirm the policy with your specific airline well before travel, as rules differ.
Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a reduced fare and need to be added to the booking. Carry proof of age. Each adult may carry only one lap infant, and strollers can usually be checked at the gate.
Prices are often similar, but booking directly with the airline makes refunds, date changes and web check-in simpler. Use FlightGPT to compare, then book on the carrier's site.
All flights use Rajiv Gandhi International Airport's single integrated terminal, so every airline on this route departs from the same building.
Mid-week departures and the January–February lull tend to be cheapest. Avoid Chhath, Diwali and summer holidays, when Bihar-bound demand pushes fares up.
