Looking for cheap flights from Madurai to Bangalore? FlightGPT compares live IXM to BLR fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

On the non-stop, IndiGo is currently the only carrier flying Madurai–Bengaluru, with around 30 flights a week — roughly three to four departures a day. IndiGo uses an A320 on the busier rotations and an ATR 72 turboprop on some. Star Air has flown regional routes out of Bengaluru, but on this specific sector IndiGo is the dependable non-stop option; treat any other 'direct' listing with care and check it is genuinely non-stop.
Go First and Jet Airways are defunct and should never appear as current operators, and Vistara now sells under Air India after the merger.
Madurai to Bengaluru is a short hop — about 375 km in a straight line — and the non-stop takes roughly 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes depending on aircraft and winds. The ATR 72 is a touch slower than the A320 but the difference is minor. Both cities are on IST, so there is no time change. One-stop routings (via Chennai or Hyderabad) exist but are pointless on a sector this short.
This is a mixed business-and-family route between two South Indian hubs, with extra demand around Tamil festivals and Bengaluru's long weekends. Booking 2–4 weeks ahead generally gives the best balance of price and choice.
| Period | Typical demand | Fare pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Apr–Jun (summer break) | High | Above average |
| Jul–Sep | Moderate | Good value |
| Oct–Nov (Diwali, Pongal lead-up) | High | Peak around festivals |
| Dec–Jan (year-end, Pongal) | Very high | Book early |
| Feb–Mar | Moderate | Often cheapest |

The early-morning departure gets you into Bengaluru in time for a working day and tends to be the most punctual. Late-evening flights are usually the cheapest. Because Bengaluru's Kempegowda airport sits about 40 km from the city, factor in a long airport-to-city transfer when choosing your arrival time — landing in Bengaluru's evening rush can add an hour on the road.
Business travellers: the first morning flight is best for a same-day meeting; pick a fare with cabin bag and web check-in included. Build in time for the long BLR airport-to-city drive.
Families: a mid-morning A320 service is the most comfortable; the ATR is fine too but cabin space is tighter. Reserve seats together at booking.
Students and budget travellers: the late flight is usually cheapest, and 1h 15m beats the 8–10 hour bus or overnight train. Pack light to hold the lowest fare.
Madurai (IXM) has a single terminal about 12 km from the city — straightforward, with no terminal confusion. Bengaluru (BLR), Kempegowda International, has two terminals; domestic IndiGo flights use Terminal 1. (Air India mainline uses Terminal 2, but that is not relevant on this IndiGo non-stop.) BLR is around 40 km north of the city centre, so allow plenty of transfer time.
Madurai airport is a 20–30 minute drive from the city; autos and app cabs are easy to find. At Bengaluru, the airport is far out — budget 60–90 minutes to the city by cab in normal traffic, more in peak. The official Vayu Vajra airport buses are a cheaper alternative to a cab. The Namma Metro reaches parts of the city but does not yet connect directly to the airport terminal, so road transfer is still the norm.
IndiGo's standard domestic allowance is 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag, but the cheapest fares may be cabin-only — check before you pay. On the ATR services hold space can be tighter, so oversized bags may be gate-checked. See IndiGo baggage for current limits, and add any extra weight online to avoid steep airport excess charges.
Madurai is hot for much of the year, peaking April–June. Bengaluru stays milder thanks to its altitude. The northeast monsoon (October–December) can bring rain to Tamil Nadu and the occasional weather delay at the Madurai end. Winter (December–February) is the most pleasant time to fly and travel in both cities.
Since IndiGo runs the only non-stop, your savings come from picking the right day and fare class, not the carrier. Search Madurai–Bengaluru on FlightGPT, compare the ATR and A320 timings and fares, and check the baggage column before booking. Browse more guides on the routes page and the blog.
The non-stop takes about 1 hour 15 minutes to 1 hour 30 minutes, depending on whether IndiGo operates an A320 or an ATR 72 on your flight.
IndiGo is currently the only carrier operating non-stop on this sector, with around 30 flights a week. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct; Vistara has merged into Air India.

IndiGo domestic flights use Terminal 1 (T1) at Kempegowda International. The airport is about 40 km from the city, so allow time for the transfer.
Madurai (IXM) has a single terminal, so all flights depart from the same building, about 12 km from the city.
A valid government photo ID such as Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID. No visa is required for this domestic flight.
Typically 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag in economy, though the cheapest fares may be cabin-only. Check the IndiGo baggage page and your fare rules before booking.
Yes — IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure. Doing it online lets you choose a seat and skip the counter.
Yes. ATR 72s are widely used on short Indian sectors. Cabin and overhead space is a little tighter than an A320, and the ride can feel bumpier in cloud, but the flight time is similar.
Under DGCA rules, an airline cancellation entitles you to a full refund or an alternative flight, with compensation in certain cases. Refunds must be paid within DGCA timelines.
Pet carriage depends on the airline and aircraft, needs prior approval and a health certificate, and capacity is limited — especially on ATR services. Contact IndiGo well ahead; do not assume it is allowed.
No — infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare without their own seat. Carry proof of the infant's date of birth.
Either works; airline-direct bookings make changes and refunds simpler. Compare the total fare including baggage on FlightGPT, then book where it is cheapest.
The October–December northeast monsoon can bring rain to Tamil Nadu and occasional delays at the Madurai end. Keep buffer time during those months.
