Looking for cheap flights from Lucknow to Mangalore? FlightGPT compares live LKO to IXE fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

LKO–IXE has no non-stop, so you connect through a hub. IndiGo (6E) is the most flexible, routing via Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Mumbai, all with frequent onward flights to Mangalore. Air India (AI) and Air India Express (IX) also serve Mangalore, often via Bengaluru or Mumbai. Bengaluru and Mumbai sit closest, giving short second legs; the choice usually comes down to which hub offers the best schedule and fare on your date.
Via Bengaluru: a roughly 2h 30m LKO–BLR leg then a short BLR–IXE hop of about 50 minutes. Via Mumbai: a long first leg then a BOM–IXE leg of about 1h 20m. Via Hyderabad: an HYD–IXE leg of around 1h 30m. Keep 90+ minutes for self-connects, or book a through-ticket for protection. Bengaluru often gives the shortest total time. Our Mangalore to Lucknow page covers the return.
Mangalore International Airport (IXE) at Bajpe sits on a hilltop tabletop runway about 14 km from the city. App-cabs and prepaid taxis reach the centre, Hampankatta and the beaches in 30–40 minutes. It is a key gateway for Gulf travel and coastal Karnataka. For onward trips to Udupi, the temple town, or the Western Ghats, road links are good. See our Mangalore airport guide for terminal and transfer notes.
On a 1-stop itinerary, economy one-way fares typically range ₹6,000–₹12,000 depending on season, hub and lead time. Festive and Gulf-return seasons push fares up, so book 4–8 weeks ahead. Cabin baggage is 7 kg on IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express; domestic economy check-in is generally 15 kg, with Air India often more. Air India Express and basic fares may charge for check-in bags, so confirm inclusions before booking.
September to December is peak, spanning Dasara, the festive calendar and pleasant post-monsoon weather along the coast — book early. The cheapest fares usually fall in February–March and the June–July monsoon lull, often 20–30% below peak. The coastal monsoon (June–September) is heavy and can delay hub connections, so allow generous buffer time during those months.
Mangalore blends Konkan, Tulu and Beary cultures with palm-fringed beaches like Panambur and Tannirbhavi, plus historic temples and churches. It is famed for coastal cuisine — ghee roast, neer dosa and fresh seafood. Nearby Udupi and its Krishna temple, the Kudremukh hills and the falls of the Western Ghats are within easy reach. The city is also a busy port and education hub, drawing students from across India.
Domestic passengers need only a government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence or passport — no visa. Web check-in opens 48 hours before each leg for seat selection and faster processing. DigiYatra is optional and speeds entry at Bengaluru, Mumbai, Hyderabad and other enabled airports. Arrive at LKO about 2 hours before departure, and on a self-connect itinerary keep both boarding passes and allow time to re-clear security at your hub.
No non-stop operates. Travellers connect 1-stop via Bengaluru, Hyderabad or Mumbai, totalling roughly 4–6 hours including a 1–3 hour layover.
Via Bengaluru is often quickest, with a BLR–IXE leg of only about 50 minutes; Mumbai and Hyderabad legs run about 1h 20m and 1h 30m respectively.
The great-circle distance is about 1,810 km, which is why a 1-stop routing via a hub is required.

There is currently no non-stop service between Lucknow and Mangalore — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h–6h (1-stop via Bengaluru/Hyderabad/Mumbai).
