Looking for cheap flights from Puducherry to Bangalore? FlightGPT compares live PNY to BLR fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Puducherry to Bangalore non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Puducherry-Bangalore fare is one search away.
IndiGo holds the route on its own. It started Puducherry operations on 20 Dec, 2024, and added a second daily Bangalore flight from 01 May, 2026, so there are now about 14 departures a week from PNY. One schedule had flight 6E 7143 leaving Puducherry at 14:00 and arriving at BLR at 15:15, which explains the slightly longer block time than the southbound sector. The other rotation operates at a different hour; check the current timetable for your date because both are adjusted seasonally. Without a second airline, the IndiGo fare is the only non-stop price you will see. Search the route on FlightGPT to compare that fare with options through Chennai.
Most people on this flight are Bangalore residents ending a weekend by the sea. The cost of the drive home is the Sunday-evening jam on the Hosur Road and Electronic City approaches, which can stretch the 310 km trip well past seven hours. A Sunday or Monday flight avoids it, but those are the seats that sell first. Practical options:
If you came by road and want to fly back alone while others drive, book early: two ATR flights a day do not leave much spare capacity.
Pondicherry Airport has a single compact terminal, and IndiGo runs only a few departures a day across its Bangalore, Hyderabad and Rajahmundry services. Queues are short, but counters close on time and the ATR boards by walking out to the aircraft. Reach the airport at least 60 minutes before departure, or 75 minutes on a holiday Sunday. From White Town, the 5–6 km ride takes 15–20 minutes by auto or cab; from Auroville, allow about 25 minutes. Carry an original photo ID such as Aadhaar, a driving licence or a passport. Food options are limited, so have lunch at one of the cafes in town before heading out. Web check-in on IndiGo opens ahead of departure and saves time at the counter.
IndiGo's domestic economy allowance is 15 kg check-in plus one 7 kg cabin bag and a small personal item. Travellers returning from Puducherry often carry heavier bags than they arrived with: Auroville pottery, handmade paper, incense, and bottles from the town's liquor shops. Note that alcohol bought in Puducherry is taxed at Puducherry rates, and carrying it into Karnataka is subject to Karnataka's excise limits, so check the current allowance before packing bottles. Pottery and glass travel best wrapped in clothing inside a checked bag. On the ATR, large cabin trolleys may be taken at the aircraft steps, so keep fragile items and electronics in your personal item. Pre-pay extra kilos online if you expect to exceed 15 kg.
The ATR usually parks at a remote stand at BLR, and passengers are bussed to the terminal. Kempegowda is at Devanahalli, about 35–40 km north of central Bangalore. An afternoon arrival is the easier time to land: you reach the city before the worst of the evening rush on Bellary Road. The BMTC Vayu Vajra airport buses run to Majestic, Silk Board, HSR Layout, Electronic City and Whitefield; app cabs and airport taxis have marked pick-up zones. If you live in south Bangalore, budget 75–100 minutes to get home. If you arrive in the evening peak, the bus to your nearest Namma Metro station and a metro ride can be quicker than a cab through traffic.
Puducherry gets most of its rain from the north-east monsoon, roughly October to December, and cyclones in the Bay of Bengal occasionally close coastal airports for a day or two. Turboprops are more weather-sensitive than jets on short runways, so on stormy days check your flight status before leaving for Lawspet. Return demand peaks on 1 and 2 January after the New Year crowds, at the end of the Pongal weekend, and after Christmas, Independence Day and other long weekends. Mid-week flights from February to March and from July to September are usually the easiest to get. A fare you see on FlightGPT is the airline's or partner's quote and can change until you pay.
When both IndiGo flights are full, the usual alternative is Chennai, roughly 150 km north up the East Coast Road. The drive takes three to four hours depending on traffic at the Chennai end, and Chennai has many daily flights to Bangalore on several airlines, so a seat is almost always available. Leave at least four hours between your planned arrival in Chennai and a separately booked flight. Trains are the other fallback, usually via Villupuram junction, about 40 km from Puducherry, where more long-distance services stop; check the current timetable before relying on one.

Yes. IndiGo flies non-stop from Pondicherry Airport (PNY) at Lawspet to Bangalore's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), about twice a day since 01 May, 2026. No other airline operates Puducherry to Bangalore direct.
The Puducherry to Bangalore flight takes about 1 hour 10–15 minutes for the 267 km. One IndiGo timing, 6E 7143, departed Puducherry at 14:00 and arrived at Bangalore at 15:15.
Reach Pondicherry Airport at least 60 minutes before an IndiGo departure to Bangalore, and 75 minutes on holiday Sundays. The terminal at Lawspet is small, but counters close on time and boarding is on foot to the ATR.
IndiGo is the only airline on the Puducherry to Bangalore route, flying ATR 72 turboprops. SpiceJet and Alliance Air flew Puducherry–Bangalore in earlier years but do not operate it now.
Chennai International Airport is the main alternative, about 150 km north of Puducherry via the East Coast Road. It has many daily flights to Bangalore, and the drive takes three to four hours.
Sealed bottles can go in checked baggage on IndiGo from Puducherry to Bangalore, but Karnataka's excise rules limit how much liquor you can bring into the state. Check the current Karnataka limit before packing more than a bottle or two.
