Looking for cheap flights from Kannur to Chandigarh?

Whether you want a Kannur to Chandigarh non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Kannur-Chandigarh fare is one search away.
Delhi (DEL) offers the most frequent and shortest connection for Kannur–Chandigarh itineraries. IndiGo and Air India both fly CNN–DEL (≈ 2h 45m) and DEL–IXC (≈ 1h 15m), meaning a minimum combined journey of just under 5 hours including a short layover. The T3 terminal at Delhi handles both routes, which means domestic transit passengers do not need to change terminals or re-clear security for most airline combinations. Chandigarh is only ≈ 250 km from Delhi by road, making the air option most useful when time or comfort matters — but note that Punjab Roadways buses and trains (Shatabdi) also cover DEL–IXC efficiently if you arrive at Delhi by air.
Mumbai (BOM) is worth considering if you can find a good combined CNN–BOM–IXC fare, though total travel time adds up to 5.5–6.5 hours versus the Delhi routing. Bangalore (BLR) is the least efficient hub for this specific pair but occasionally surfaces the cheapest all-in fare on sale days from aggregators. Air India's wider network sometimes enables CNN–BOM–IXC bookings with through-checked baggage and frequent-flyer mileage accrual that LCC combinations do not offer. IndiGo's dominance on the CNN–DEL route means checking their prices first makes sense for most travellers prioritising speed over frills.
Kannur International Airport (CNN) opened in 2018 and handles both domestic and international flights from a single modern terminal. It is located ≈ 26 km from Kannur city centre (≈ 35–45 minutes by road). IndiGo is the dominant carrier here, with multiple daily connections to Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore. The airport has a comfortable air-conditioned terminal with a food court, free Wi-Fi, and pre-paid taxi counters. Domestic check-in opens 2 hours before departure. Kannur's airport is convenient for travellers from Thalassery, Iritty, and Payyannur sub-districts, as it sits at a central northern Kerala location.
No visa or international passport is required for this domestic India flight. A valid government-issued photo ID is mandatory: Aadhaar, Voter ID, driving licence, or Indian passport all work. Children under 12 do not require photo ID but should carry a school ID or birth certificate if travelling alone. DigiYatra face-recognition boarding is available at both IXC and DEL (T3), significantly speeding up the boarding process at these airports. CNN does not yet have DigiYatra as of mid-2026. Keep digital and physical boarding passes accessible for CISF entry checks at both origin and transit airports.
As of June 2026, one-way economy fares for Kannur to Chandigarh (via one stop) typically range from ≈ ₹5,500 to ₹13,000 depending on booking lead time and routing. Return fares range from ≈ ₹10,000 to ₹22,000. IndiGo offers the most competitive base fares; Air India's Vistara-merged full-service product adds meal and baggage inclusions that narrow the gap for business travellers. Peak travel periods include Onam (September), Vishu (April), and North Indian festival seasons (Diwali, Holi). Booking 4–6 weeks in advance during regular periods typically yields fares in the ₹6,000–₹9,000 range one-way. Check both CNN and CCJ (Calicut) on aggregators — CCJ sometimes offers better connections to the north.
Chandigarh is India's most planned city, designed by Le Corbusier in the 1950s and serving as the shared capital of Punjab and Haryana. For Keralite visitors, the contrast is stark: wide boulevards, Rock Garden (a remarkable sculpture park by Nek Chand), Sukhna Lake, and the lush Rose Garden (Asia's largest rose garden) replace the coconut-lined streets of Malabar. Chandigarh is also a launchpad for Himachal Pradesh hill stations — Kasauli (80 km), Shimla (115 km), and Manali (310 km) are all accessible by road from here. The city's sector-grid layout makes navigation easy, and its food scene (Punjabi dhabas, sarson ka saag in winter) is a culinary highlight for South Indian visitors.
No direct flights exist between these two cities. All journeys require a 1-stop connection — most efficiently via Delhi (DEL), with total journey times of ≈ 4–5.5 hours.
IndiGo is the most frequent carrier on the CNN–DEL segment; Air India, SpiceJet, and Akasa Air also operate the route. The DEL–IXC leg is served by IndiGo and Air India with several daily departures.
One-way economy fares range from ≈ ₹5,500 to ₹13,000 as of June 2026. Return fares typically run ₹10,000–₹22,000. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead gives the best prices on most dates.
No — this is a domestic route. A valid Indian government photo ID (Aadhaar, Voter ID, or Indian passport) is all you need. No visa, no international documents required.
Kannur International Airport (CNN) is ≈ 26 km from Kannur city centre, approximately 35–45 minutes by taxi. Pre-paid taxis from the airport counter cost ≈ ₹500–₹700 to the city centre.
October–March is ideal in Chandigarh — pleasant weather (8–25 °C) perfect for Rock Garden, Rose Garden, and Sukhna Lake. February–March also enables a day trip to Shimla when the hills still have snow.
