Looking for cheap flights from Jaipur to Patna? FlightGPT compares live JAI to PAT fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Jaipur to Patna non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Jaipur-Patna fare is one search away.
A non-stop between Jaipur (JAI) and Patna (PAT) is limited and may not run every day, so confirm live schedules. IndiGo (6E) and Air India (AI) connect the pair 1-stop, overwhelmingly through Delhi, with 4–6 same-day options. A non-stop takes about 2h; a 1-stop runs 3h30m–5h30m including layover. Booking both legs on one ticket means the airline reprotects you if your Delhi connection slips.
Delhi is the natural hub for this pair: a short hop from Jaipur, then a busy 1h30m leg on to Patna. Total time is 3h30m–5h30m including a 1–2h layover. Lucknow appears on some itineraries but with fewer onward flights. Keep layovers above 75 minutes, and note Delhi's winter fog can cause delays. The Patna to Jaipur return uses the same Delhi gateway.
Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT) is centrally located, only about 5 km from the city centre. A taxi to most areas takes 15–25 minutes for roughly ₹300–₹500. The airport's short runway and city-edge location mean it is busy, so allow 90 minutes before departure on the return. Our Patna airport guide covers the new terminal and ground transport.
Cabin baggage is 7 kg, with 15 kg check-in on standard economy; budget fares may price check-in separately. Economy one-way fares typically range ₹5,000–₹10,000, with non-stops (when available) at the higher end. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead usually saves 20–30%. The Chhath Puja exodus (late October–November), when many Biharis return home, is the single biggest price spike of the year — book weeks in advance.
October to February offers pleasant weather in Patna but overlaps with the Chhath rush and winter holidays, keeping fares firm. For value, target February–March or August–September, when one-way prices can dip toward ₹5,500. Summers are very hot and the monsoon brings heavy rain, but both are quieter, cheaper windows if you can tolerate the heat or showers.
Patna, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, sits on the Ganges and was the seat of the ancient Magadha empire. It anchors a Buddhist and Sikh pilgrimage circuit — Bodh Gaya is about 110 km away and Takht Sri Patna Sahib marks Guru Gobind Singh's birthplace. The Bihar Museum and Golghar are key sights. Most visitors stay 1–2 days before exploring the wider state.
Carry one government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence or passport — for each domestic sector; DigiYatra is optional but speeds entry at Jaipur and Delhi. Web check-in opens 48 hours and closes about 60 minutes before departure on each leg. Avoid booking last-minute around Chhath, set a fare alert 4–6 weeks ahead, and compare any non-stop against the frequent Delhi 1-stops to save ₹1,000–₹2,000.
A non-stop may run on a limited basis at about 2 hours, but it is not daily. Most travel is 1-stop via Delhi, totalling 3h30m–5h30m over roughly 880 km.
A non-stop is about 2 hours; a 1-stop via Delhi runs 3h30m–5h30m including a 1–2 hour layover. Check live schedules for direct availability.
February–March and August–September are usually cheapest, sometimes near ₹5,500 one-way. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead saves 20–30%; avoid the Chhath rush in late October–November.
Patna airport (PAT) is only about 5 km from the centre — a 15–25 minute taxi ride costing roughly ₹300–₹500.
