Looking for cheap flights from Mysore to Chennai?

Whether you want a Mysore to Chennai non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Mysore-Chennai fare is one search away.
IndiGo runs the only non-stop between Mysuru and Chennai. Recent listings show 6E 7615 leaving Mysore Airport around 19:05 and reaching Chennai around 20:15, once a day on most days. The aircraft is typically an ATR 72 turboprop.
An evening departure is useful: you can spend a full day in Mysuru, finishing at the palace or Chamundi Hills, and still be in Chennai the same night. Business travellers can complete a day of meetings in Mysuru's industrial areas before heading to the airport. Schedules change between seasons, so check your date on FlightGPT, compare fares, and book with IndiGo or a travel partner.
Mysore Airport is at Mandakalli, about 10–12 km south of the city centre on the Nanjangud road, 25–30 minutes from the palace area. If you are coming from further away, allow:
For the 19:05 departure, aim to arrive at the terminal by 17:45. Mysuru traffic builds after 17:00 around the ring road, so set off early if you are coming through the city. Your hotel can book a reliable cab for the airport run.
IndiGo allows 15 kg of check-in baggage and a 7 kg cabin bag in domestic economy. Most visitors leave Mysuru with shopping, so plan your bags in advance:
The ATR's overhead bins are small, so oversized cabin bags may be tagged at the aircraft door. Keep electronics and medicines in your personal bag.
The IndiGo ATR covers 390 km in about 1 hour 10 minutes. The alternatives are much slower: the Shatabdi Express takes around 7 hours, and road travel via Bengaluru takes 7–8 hours. Flying from Bengaluru instead means a 3–4 hour drive to Kempegowda International before your flight.
The ATR's 2-2 seating has no middle seat, and boarding is by stairs. In the north-east monsoon from October to December, Chennai often has heavy evening showers, which can delay landings. If you have a tight onward connection in Chennai, leave a generous buffer. Seats near the front of the ATR are a little quieter.
With a scheduled arrival around 20:15, you will reach Chennai after the evening rush has eased. Check your boarding pass for the arrival terminal: Chennai has more than one domestic terminal building.
Getting into the city:
T. Nagar and Chennai Central are roughly 15–20 km away, usually 30–45 minutes by cab in the late evening. OMR and Sholinganallur are roughly 25 km away via the Velachery side. Airport taxis are available round the clock.
The day after Vijayadashami, at the end of Mysuru Dasara in October, is the hardest day to get a seat back to Chennai. Sunday evenings after long weekends are also busy, as Chennai families who drove or flew to Mysuru, Coorg and the wildlife parks head home. Christmas–New Year and the end of the April–May holidays bring similar peaks.
Pongal in mid-January moves demand the other way, with Tamil families in Mysuru heading to Chennai before the festival. One small aircraft per day means a single group booking can fill the flight, so search early for these dates and compare the days either side on FlightGPT. Mid-week flights are generally easier to book.
Many Chennai travellers fly into Mysuru only one way, combining the city with Coorg, Kabini or Bandipur, and then return on the evening IndiGo flight. That works well if you plan the final day carefully. From Kabini's lodges, roughly 80 km away, a morning safari followed by a 2-hour drive gets you to Mandakalli comfortably.
From Madikeri, roughly 120 km away, leave by early afternoon to allow 3 hours plus a buffer. Coming from Ooty, remember that the forest roads through Mudumalai and Bandipur close to traffic overnight and can be slow in the day with checkposts; allow at least 4–5 hours, and leave in the morning.
If 6E 7615 is sold out or not operating on your day, the usual fallback is the Bengaluru–Mysuru expressway to Kempegowda International (BLR), about 3–4 hours by road from Mysuru, and a flight from Bengaluru to Chennai, a route with dozens of daily non-stops. The Shatabdi Express and other trains from Mysuru Junction to Chennai Central are the other option.
Planning a trip in the opposite direction? The Chennai to Mysore flight guide covers departing Chennai, the Mandakalli airport transfer and onward trips to Coorg and Bandipur. Trains from Mysuru Junction to Chennai Central run daily.
Yes. IndiGo flies Mysore (MYQ) to Chennai (MAA) non-stop, usually once a day. Recent schedules show 6E 7615 leaving Mysuru around 19:05 and arriving around 20:15.
The Mysore to Chennai non-stop takes about 1 hour 10 minutes for 390 km. By comparison, the Shatabdi Express takes around 7 hours and driving via Bengaluru 7–8 hours.
IndiGo is the only airline flying Mysore to Chennai non-stop, typically on an ATR 72 turboprop from Mysore Airport at Mandakalli.
Mysore Airport (MYQ) at Mandakalli is about 10–12 km from Mysore Palace, roughly 25–30 minutes by taxi via the Nanjangud road.
After the Mysore to Chennai flight, take the Chennai Metro Blue Line from Airport station, a suburban train from Tirusulam, or an app cab. Chennai Central is roughly 15–20 km away.
The Mysore to Chennai flight is hardest to book the day after Mysuru Dasara ends in October, on Sunday evenings after long weekends, and at the end of Christmas–New Year.
FlightGPT is a natural-language flight search: ask the way you'd ask a friend, and it compares live MYQ–MAA fares across every airline, OTA and travel agent. Try one:
What you pay on the Mysore–Chennai route hinges on timing: book roughly 3–8 weeks ahead, stay flexible on the day of week, and you usually land the better fare. Search Mysore to Chennai live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across IndiGo.
Last-minute Mysore to Chennai fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Mysore Chennai prices across IndiGo — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
Most travellers prefer the Mysore to Chennai non-stop option. The direct Mysore-Chennai flight time is ≈ 1h 10m. If you are flexible, 1-stop alternatives through major hubs can be 15-30 percent cheaper. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Mysore Chennai ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Mysore–Chennai fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
