Looking for cheap flights from Hyderabad to Rajkot? FlightGPT compares live HYD to RAJ fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Hyderabad to Rajkot non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Hyderabad-Rajkot fare is one search away.
Hyderabad to Rajkot is a thin but useful route, and IndiGo is currently the only airline flying it non-stop. Expect about one direct departure a day on an Airbus A320neo or A321neo, landing at Rajkot's newer Hirasar airport (code HSR), which replaced the old city airport for scheduled flights.
Because there is just a single daily non-stop, seats can sell out on peak dates. If the direct flight is full or badly timed, you will see 1-stop itineraries routed through Ahmedabad or Mumbai. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any old listings showing them on this route. Air India and Air India Express mainly serve Rajkot through connections rather than a non-stop from Hyderabad.
The straight-line distance is roughly 1,020 km. The non-stop flight is scheduled at about 1 hour 50 minutes gate to gate, though actual airborne time is a little less. There is no time-zone change — Hyderabad and Rajkot are both on Indian Standard Time.
If you end up on a 1-stop fare via Ahmedabad or Mumbai, budget 4 to 6 hours door to door including the layover. Ahmedabad is the more natural connecting point for Saurashtra, so that routing is usually the quicker of the two.
With only one daily non-stop, this route rewards early booking. Fares tend to be lowest in the monsoon and shoulder months and firmest around Diwali, Gujarati wedding season and the winter holidays, when Saurashtra sees heavy family travel.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Best value; book 2–3 weeks out |
| Oct–Nov (Diwali/weddings) | High | Book 4–6 weeks ahead |
| Dec–Jan (winter holidays) | High | Lock in early |
| Feb–Apr | Moderate | 2–4 weeks out is usually fine |
Fares are qualitative guidance only — always confirm the live price before booking.
A few practical levers on this route: book the single non-stop as early as you can, since last-minute seats on a once-daily flight are the most expensive. Compare the direct fare against a 1-stop via Ahmedabad — occasionally the connection is materially cheaper. Mid-week departures (Tuesday and Wednesday) usually price below Friday and Sunday. Travel light to avoid add-on baggage charges, and clear your browser or use incognito if you are checking the same fare repeatedly.
The lone daily non-stop typically operates in a single fixed slot, so your "window" is really whatever that flight's time is on your date. Check it before planning onward travel, because Hirasar sits about 30 km from Rajkot city and you will want daylight for the road transfer on either end. If you are connecting via Ahmedabad, early-morning first legs leave the most buffer for the second flight.
Business travellers: with only one non-stop a day, build in a margin — if you miss it there is no second direct flight until tomorrow. Many Hyderabad–Saurashtra business trips actually fly via Ahmedabad for schedule flexibility.
Families: the direct flight is the easiest option with children and elderly parents, avoiding a layover. Book early to keep the family together on the single service. Hirasar is modern and uncrowded, which helps.
Students and budget travellers: monsoon-season fares are the friendliest. If the non-stop is pricey, a connection through Ahmedabad can be cheaper, but factor in the longer day.
Hyderabad (HYD): Rajiv Gandhi International is a single integrated terminal handling both domestic and international flights, so there is no terminal confusion — all IndiGo departures leave from the same building.
Rajkot (HSR): Hirasar is Rajkot's greenfield airport, opened in 2023, replacing the cramped old city airport for scheduled services. It has one passenger terminal and is located near Hirasar village, roughly 30 km northeast of Rajkot on the Ahmedabad highway.
In Hyderabad, the airport is about 30 km from the city centre; allow 60–90 minutes by cab or the Pushpak airport shuttle, more during peak traffic. In Rajkot, Hirasar is around 30 km from the centre — GSRTC runs an AC bus service between the airport and the city, and taxis are readily available, with the road trip taking roughly 35–45 minutes. Pre-book a cab if you land late, as on-demand options can be thin at off-peak hours.
On IndiGo's standard domestic fares you get 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag. Allowances differ by fare type and airline, so confirm what your ticket includes before you pack. Full current rules are on the IndiGo baggage page. Excess baggage is far cheaper pre-paid online than at the airport counter.
Saurashtra is hot and dry for much of the year. Summers (April–June) in Rajkot are very warm, often above 40°C, so pack light cottons and sun protection. The monsoon (July–September) brings relief and the occasional heavy spell. October to February is the most comfortable window for travel and sightseeing. Hyderabad's climate is milder but also warm; winter is pleasant. Keep a light layer for the air-conditioned cabin.
Because this is a once-daily non-stop, set a fare alert and book the moment the price looks reasonable — there is no fallback direct flight the same day. If your real destination is anywhere in Saurashtra, also price the Hyderabad–Ahmedabad route, which has far more frequencies; a short connection or road leg from Ahmedabad sometimes works out cheaper and more flexible than waiting on the single Rajkot service.
Yes. IndiGo operates roughly one non-stop a day from Hyderabad (HYD) to Rajkot's Hirasar airport (HSR), scheduled at about 1 hour 50 minutes. On some dates only 1-stop connections via Ahmedabad or Mumbai are available, so check the live schedule.
IndiGo is the only airline currently offering a non-stop. Air India and Air India Express reach Rajkot mainly via connections. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct and Vistara has merged into Air India, so disregard older listings showing them.
The non-stop is scheduled at about 1 hour 50 minutes. A 1-stop connection via Ahmedabad or Mumbai typically takes 4 to 6 hours including the layover.
Scheduled flights land at Hirasar airport (code HSR), Rajkot's greenfield airport opened in 2023, about 30 km northeast of the city. The old city airport no longer handles regular scheduled flights.
Around 30 km, on the Ahmedabad highway. The road transfer takes roughly 35–45 minutes by taxi or GSRTC AC bus.
A valid government-issued photo ID such as Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID. No visa is needed — this is a domestic route. Carry the same ID used at booking.
IndiGo's standard domestic fare includes 15 kg checked and one 7 kg cabin bag, though this varies by fare type. See the IndiGo baggage page and pre-pay any excess online to save money.
Under DGCA rules, airlines must refund applicable statutory taxes and fees even on non-refundable fares, and full refunds apply if the airline cancels or significantly reschedules. Refundability of the base fare depends on your fare type; check the rules at booking.
IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure and is recommended to pick seats and skip airport queues. Reach the airport at least 2 hours before a domestic departure.
Saurashtra rarely sees heavy winter fog, but the monsoon (July–September) can bring occasional delays. Hyderabad winter mornings can be hazy. Keep some buffer if you have tight onward plans.
IndiGo permits domestic pet travel with advance booking and conditions on carriers and health documents. Arrange it directly with the airline well ahead of travel, as space is limited.
Infants under 2 travel on a lap at a nominal fare with no separate seat. You must declare the infant at booking and carry age proof. One infant is allowed per adult.
Compare both. Booking on IndiGo's own site can carry fewer fees and simplifies changes, while OTAs sometimes run promotions. FlightGPT shows you the live options side by side so you can pick the lowest all-in price.
If your destination is anywhere in Saurashtra, Hyderabad–Ahmedabad has many more daily flights. A connection or short road leg from Ahmedabad can be cheaper and more flexible than relying on the single daily Rajkot non-stop.

What you pay on the Hyderabad–Rajkot route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Hyderabad to Rajkot live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across IndiGo (only non-stop operator).
Last-minute Hyderabad to Rajkot fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Hyderabad Rajkot prices across IndiGo (only non-stop operator) — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
Most travellers prefer the Hyderabad to Rajkot non-stop option. The direct Hyderabad-Rajkot flight time is ≈ 1h 50m non-stop (IndiGo). If you are flexible, 1-stop alternatives through major hubs can be 15-30 percent cheaper. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Hyderabad Rajkot ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Hyderabad–Rajkot fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo (only non-stop operator) ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
