Looking for cheap flights from Patna to Vijayawada?

At about 1,370 km apart, Patna and Vijayawada lie on a long north-to-south axis, and neither end produces enough demand for a daily non-stop. Every realistic booking therefore involves one change of plane. Hyderabad is the natural connecting point because it has strong frequency both from Patna and onward to Vijayawada, which sits barely an hour's flight south. Bengaluru and occasionally Chennai serve as alternates when Hyderabad timings are awkward.
IndiGo (6E) is the dominant operator, running multiple daily flights Patna–Hyderabad and Hyderabad–Vijayawada, so you can usually keep a single PNR. Air India (AI) is a useful alternate on the Patna–Hyderabad leg. Keeping one airline through the hub means your bags are checked through and you are protected if the first flight slips — valuable on a 4–6 hour connecting trip where a missed link is costly.
The Hyderabad (HYD) routing is almost always shorter overall: the onward Hyderabad–Vijayawada hop is roughly 50–60 minutes and very frequent. Bengaluru (BLR) connections exist but add distance and usually time, so they only make sense when a fare or schedule is unusually good. Compare both before booking, but expect the Hyderabad build to win on total duration for most travellers on this Bihar–Andhra sector. The Vijayawada to Patna direction mirrors this.
Vijayawada Airport (VGA) sits at Gannavaram, about 20 km east of the city. App cabs and prepaid taxis reach the Benz Circle business district in 35–50 minutes; the airport is also a gateway for Amaravati and the wider Krishna district. The terminal is modern but small, so security queues can build during Sankranti and festival peaks — allow buffer. See our Vijayawada airport guide for transfer details.
Domestic economy on IndiGo and Air India includes 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin; saver fares may not bundle free check-in, so read the fare brand. Because this is a connection, one-way economy typically runs ₹5,800–₹12,000 depending on season and hub. Festival surges around Diwali, Chhath and Sankranti can lift fares above ₹14,000, so book three to four weeks ahead for the best value.
The cheapest windows are February–March and the August–September monsoon shoulder, when leisure demand is soft. Avoid October–November (Diwali and Chhath) and mid-January (Makar Sankranti), all of which spike Andhra–Bihar traffic. Mid-week departures price lower than weekends, and an early-morning Hyderabad connection cuts the risk of a missed onward flight while keeping your total travel time near the four-hour end.
Carry one government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence or passport — for both legs; no visa applies to domestic travel. Do web check-in 24–48 hours before each flight, and separately per carrier if you mixed airlines. DigiYatra is optional but speeds entry at Patna and Hyderabad. Leave at least 75–90 minutes at the hub so baggage and security do not jeopardise your connection.
No. This 1,370 km route has no non-stop service; you connect once, most often through Hyderabad, with total journey times of about 4 to 6 hours.
Route via Hyderabad: the onward HYD–VGA hop is only 50–60 minutes and runs several times daily, so a tight 60–90 minute layover keeps the total near 4 hours.
IndiGo covers both legs most reliably and Air India serves Patna–Hyderabad. Expect to choose between 2 main hubs, Hyderabad or Bengaluru, when building the connection.
One-way economy typically runs ₹5,800–₹12,000 depending on season and hub. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead in February–March usually lands the lower figure.
Standard domestic economy gives 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin. Lighter saver fares may exclude the free 15 kg, so confirm the fare brand before booking.
No — domestic travel needs only 1 government photo ID such as Aadhaar or a passport, carried for both of the 2 connecting flight legs.
What you pay on the Patna–Vijayawada 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 Patna to Vijayawada live to see how today's price compares to dates a month out — the gap is often 25–40 percent across .
Last-minute Patna to Vijayawada fares move fast, but they're rarely the same across every airline. Run your date through the search above and FlightGPT compares real-time Patna Vijayawada prices across — so you grab the cheapest seat still open, not the first one you see.
There is currently no non-stop service between Patna and Vijayawada — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h–6h (1-stop via Hyderabad/Bengaluru). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Patna Vijayawada ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Patna–Vijayawada 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 carrier 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.
