Airlines flying Madurai to Bangalore
IndiGo dominates the Madurai–Bangalore route with ≈ 3–5 daily non-stops using A320 aircraft. Air India adds 1–2 daily flights, and regional carrier StarAir occasionally serves the pair with smaller turboprops. Block time is consistently ≈ 1h 15m across all operators.
Cheapest time to fly and book
This is primarily a business and family-visit route, so weekday mornings and Sunday evenings see the highest demand. Mid-week departures (Tuesday–Thursday) tend to be cheapest. Festival-season spikes around Pongal (January) and Deepavali (October–November) push fares up. Booking even 1–2 weeks ahead usually secures good domestic prices on this short sector.
Flight duration and routing
All flights are non-stop, covering the ≈ 430 km in about 1h 15m. The aircraft barely reaches cruising altitude before beginning descent into Kempegowda. Given the short flight, 1-stop routings via Chennai exist but rarely make sense time-wise. Door-to-door, flying beats the 7–8 hour road journey comfortably.
Baggage and fares
IndiGo standard fares include 15 kg checked baggage; Air India offers 25 kg. On such a short sector, many travellers fly with cabin baggage only, keeping costs minimal. StarAir fares on smaller aircraft may have tighter baggage limits — check before booking. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Airports and terminals
Madurai Airport (IXM) has a single terminal about 12 km from the city. Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) has two terminals — T1 handles most domestic flights including IndiGo, while T2 is the newer international terminal. Airport buses and taxis connect BLR to the city centre in ≈ 45–60 minutes.
Do you need any documents?
As a domestic flight, no passport or visa is needed. Carry a government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence or passport. DigiYatra enrolment at IXM and BLR enables paperless entry through security and boarding gates.
