Looking for cheap flights from Pune to Surat? FlightGPT compares live PNQ to STV fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Pune to Surat non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Pune-Surat fare is one search away.
IndiGo (6E) is the main operator and usually schedules 1–2 non-stops a day of about 1h 15m. Air India Express (IX) and Air India (AI) provide connecting alternatives, generally via Mumbai or Hyderabad. Because the cities are close, a 1-stop routing often costs more time than the destination warrants, so most travellers prioritise the non-stop. Watch frequency on weekends, when schedules can thin and connecting fares creep up.
When a non-stop is sold out, the usual transit is Mumbai (BOM) — very close to both cities but a busy, sometimes-delayed hub — or Hyderabad (HYD), which adds distance but offers frequent banks. Keep a layover of 75–120 minutes. Given the short base distance, some travellers simply take the Mumbai–Surat train or a road trip; compare a Surat to Pune return before deciding to fly both ways.
Surat International Airport (STV) at Magdalla is about 11–16 km from the city centre, roughly a 25–40 minute drive. App cabs and prepaid taxis cost ₹350–₹650 into central Surat; autos serve nearer areas. The textile markets around Ring Road and the diamond bourse are common destinations. For terminal layout and transfer notes, see our Surat airport guide.
IndiGo and Air India economy include 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin; Air India Express saver fares may bundle less, so check before adding bags. Non-stop economy one-way typically runs ₹2,800–₹6,500 — among the cheaper western hops because of the short distance. Connecting itineraries can cost ₹1,500–₹3,000 more for little time saved, so the non-stop is usually the better value.
Surat is hot through summer, so April–June and September bring the softest fares, with non-stops sometimes near ₹2,800–₹4,000. Prices climb sharply around Diwali and the October–January wedding season, when business and family travel peaks. If your dates are flexible, midweek departures outside festival weeks reliably trim the cost on this route.
Surat is one of the world's great diamond-cutting centres, polishing a large share of global gem volume, and a powerhouse of synthetic textiles and sarees. The riverfront city is also known for its food — Surti locho, undhiyu and ghari sweets — and for being among India's fastest-growing, cleanest cities. The Dutch and Mughal-era trading heritage adds a historic layer to the modern commercial buzz.
