Total travel runs 4–6 hours including the layover, well ahead of the lengthy train journey.
IndiGo (6E) offers the widest connection set and the easiest single-ticket booking, typically via Mumbai or Bengaluru. Air India (AI) also links the cities through its hubs.

Indore is celebrated as India's street-food capital — Sarafa Bazaar and Chhappan Dukan are legendary night-food destinations.

Complete web check-in on both legs from 48 hours before departure to keep seats together. Carry a government photo ID (Aadhaar, DL or passport); DigiYatra is optional and most useful at the Mumbai or Bengaluru hub. For a stress-free same-day trip, keep your hub layover at 90 minutes or more so a small first-leg delay does not cost you the connection.
