Jay Prakash Narayan Airport (PAT) in Patna has IndiGo and Air India flights to Bengaluru (BLR) and Hyderabad (HYD), both of which have frequent onward services to Coimbatore. The BLR routing is particularly good — PAT–BLR takes ≈ 2h and BLR–CJB takes ≈ 45m — giving a realistic door-to-door of about 4h with a comfortable 1.5h connection. Hyderabad (HYD) is a slightly longer intermediate (PAT–HYD ≈ 1h 45m, HYD–CJB ≈ 1h 30m) but offers more departure time options throughout the day. IndiGo operates the highest frequency on all legs. Chennai (MAA) is also a viable but less efficient hub. Always book both legs under a single carrier to ensure through-checked baggage and missed-connection protection.
One-way economy fares from Patna to Coimbatore in June 2026 typically range from ≈ ₹4,500 to ₹11,000 on a 1-stop itinerary.
