Airlines and non-stop options
IndiGo is the carrier to look at for a non-stop between Jaipur and Indore, flying the sector with its ATR 72 turboprop rather than a jet. Frequency is limited — typically one to two flights a day and not necessarily every day of the week — so check the schedule for your exact date rather than assuming a non-stop will fit your plans.
If the non-stop times don't suit, search engines will offer connecting itineraries via Delhi or Mumbai, but these turn a short hop into a half-day journey. Take a connection only if the fare saving is substantial.
Flight time, distance and routing
The air distance is roughly 460 km, a short sector that the ATR 72 covers in about 1 hour 25 minutes. The turboprop cruises lower and slower than a jet, so the time is a little longer than a similar-distance jet hop, but it's still far quicker than the road or rail alternatives between the two cities.
The routing runs south-east from Rajasthan into Madhya Pradesh. Because the flight is short, a one-stop alternative rarely makes sense on time.
Best time to book and seasonal fares
With only a couple of non-stops a day, seats are finite — book ahead to secure both price and availability. Two to four weeks out is a good window. Jaipur draws heavy tourist demand in the cooler months, and Indore sees business and festival traffic.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|
| Oct–Mar (pleasant season) | High | Peak for Jaipur tourism; book early |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Moderate | Hot across both cities; softer fares |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheaper, generally pleasant in Indore |
| Festival dates | High | Diwali and the Jaipur winter season lift fares |
The bands above reflect demand, not quoted prices — always check the live fare.
Getting your fare cheaper
On a thin route the main lever is booking early for the limited non-stops. Mid-week travel is usually cheaper than weekends, and a fare alert helps you catch a dip. If you only carry hand baggage, the lowest IndiGo fare bucket saves more — handy on a short turboprop hop where many travellers pack light anyway.
Compare the all-in price with baggage and seat selection added, not just the base fare.
Best departure windows
Your choice is constrained by the small schedule, so book around what's flying. A morning non-stop suits a same-day onward plan in Indore or a day trip. Confirm the times when you book — a route with only one or two daily flights can shift its schedule seasonally, and the ATR's timing may differ from the jet routes you're used to.
Advice by traveller type
Business travellers: the non-stop makes a same-day Jaipur–Indore round trip feasible if the limited timings align. Book early and travel hand-baggage-only.
Families: the direct ATR flight is the simplest option — avoid connections that triple the journey. The turboprop is a short, routine hop; nervous flyers should know it's normal for it to feel a little different from a jet.
Students and budget travellers: if non-stop fares are high, an overnight train or bus is a cheap alternative on this corridor. If you fly, book the non-stop early and pack light.
Road and rail as alternatives
Jaipur and Indore are connected by overnight trains and bus services taking roughly 9–12 hours. They're far slower than the 85-minute flight but considerably cheaper, and an overnight option saves a day's daylight. For budget travellers without a tight schedule, surface transport is a reasonable fallback when non-stop fares spike.
Airports and terminals
Jaipur International Airport (JAI): scheduled passenger flights use Terminal 2, about 13 km from the city centre. It's a well-equipped airport with the usual lounges and dining.
Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport, Indore (IDR): a single integrated terminal serves all flights, roughly 8 km from the city. Indore is repeatedly ranked among India's cleanest cities, and the airport reflects that.
Getting to and from the airport
Jaipur's airport is a 20–30 minute drive from the Pink City's main areas; app cabs and pre-paid taxis are easy to find. Indore's airport is close to the city, usually 15–20 minutes by cab. Both have reliable app-cab coverage; allow extra time in Jaipur during the October–March tourist peak.
Baggage allowance
On the ATR 72, domestic economy still typically allows 15 kg checked and a 7 kg cabin bag, but turboprop cabins have smaller overhead bins, so larger trolleys may be tagged at the gate. The cheapest fares can be hand-baggage-only. Check the IndiGo baggage rules and travel light where you can on this short hop.
Travel tips and weather
Both cities are hot in summer (April–June) and pleasant from October to March. Indore enjoys a relatively mild monsoon. Jaipur's desert climate means cold winter mornings, so carry a layer if you're flying in the early non-stop in winter.
Indore is famous for its food — Sarafa Bazaar and Chappan Dukan are a draw in themselves — while Jaipur offers forts, palaces and bazaars. Pack for sightseeing on foot at both ends.
FlightGPT tip
This is an ATR turboprop route with only a handful of seats a day, so book the moment your dates firm up. If the limited non-stop timings don't work, an overnight train between Jaipur and Indore is a genuinely usable alternative rather than a poor second choice.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a non-stop flight from Jaipur to Indore?
Yes. IndiGo operates a non-stop, typically one to two flights a day, using its ATR 72 turboprop. Frequency varies by day and season, so verify for your date.
How long is the Jaipur to Indore flight?
About 1 hour 25 minutes non-stop on the ATR 72. Connecting itineraries via Delhi or Mumbai take 4–6 hours and are rarely worth it.
What kind of aircraft flies this route?
IndiGo uses the ATR 72, a turboprop, on the non-stop. It cruises lower and slower than a jet but the hop is short and routine.
How far is Jaipur from Indore by air?
Roughly 460 km. By road it's longer, which is why the flight, though short, saves a lot of time over the train or bus.
Which terminal at Jaipur airport?
Scheduled passenger flights, including IndiGo, use Terminal 2 at Jaipur International Airport.
Which terminal at Indore airport?
Indore's Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport has a single integrated terminal, so there is no terminal to worry about.
Is the train a good alternative?
If non-stop fares are high or the timings don't suit, overnight trains and buses take about 9–12 hours and cost much less. Slower, but a reasonable budget fallback.
Am I entitled to a refund if my flight is cancelled?
Yes. Under DGCA rules, an airline-initiated cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative flight.
What is the baggage allowance on the ATR?
Typically 15 kg checked and a 7 kg cabin bag in economy, but turboprop bins are smaller so larger trolleys may be gate-tagged. The cheapest fares can be hand-baggage-only. See our IndiGo baggage guide.
When does web check-in open?
Usually 48 hours before departure, closing 1–2 hours prior. Use the IndiGo app to check in and pick a seat early.
Will the monsoon affect this flight?
Indore generally has a mild monsoon and disruption is uncommon, though heavy rain can cause occasional delays. Allow a little buffer in the July–September window.
Can I carry a pet?
Pet carriage depends on the airline and aircraft, must be arranged in advance, and may not be available on the ATR. Confirm with IndiGo before booking.
Can I fly with an infant?
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap for a nominal fare. Carry the child's age proof; bassinet availability on the small ATR is limited.
Should I book directly or via an OTA?
On a low-frequency route, booking directly with the airline keeps rebooking simpler if the limited non-stop is disrupted. OTAs sometimes show lower headline fares but add a step if plans change.
When is the best time to visit Indore?
October to March is most pleasant. Indore is known as one of India's cleanest cities and for its street food — Sarafa Bazaar and Chappan Dukan are highlights.
