Looking for cheap flights from Pune to Vijayawada? FlightGPT compares live PNQ to VGA 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 Vijayawada non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Pune-Vijayawada fare is one search away.
IndiGo (6E) is the principal carrier and usually schedules 1–2 non-stops a day of about 1h 35m. Air India (AI) provides connecting options, mostly via Hyderabad or Bengaluru. On dates without a non-stop, the engine assembles a 1-stop, so check whether your fare is direct or connecting before paying. Frequency is moderate, so booking ahead helps you grab the faster non-stop rather than a longer hub routing.
When a non-stop does not fit, Hyderabad (HYD) is the natural transit point — it is close to Vijayawada with frequent onward flights and short hops to VGA. Bengaluru (BLR) is the alternate for southern itineraries. Keep a layover of 75–120 minutes for a safe connection. Some travellers fly into Hyderabad and continue by road or rail, since Vijayawada is only about 270 km away; compare a Vijayawada to Pune return too.
Vijayawada International Airport (VGA) at Gannavaram is about 18–22 km from the city centre, roughly a 35–50 minute drive. App cabs and prepaid taxis cost ₹450–₹800 into town; APSRTC buses also serve the airport. The Amaravati capital region and Guntur are within easy reach by taxi. For terminal and transfer details, see our Vijayawada airport guide.
IndiGo and Air India economy include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. On a connecting itinerary the stricter allowance applies, so confirm before packing. Non-stop economy one-way typically runs ₹3,500–₹7,500 depending on season and lead time; 1-stop routings can sit a bit higher. Booking 3–6 weeks out and choosing midweek flights usually lands the lower end of the range.
Vijayawada is hot for much of the year, so the comfortable months are November to February, which also draw higher festival fares. For value, target February–March and the July–August monsoon shoulder, when non-stops can dip toward ₹3,500–₹4,800. Avoid the year-end holidays and major Andhra festival weeks if your goal is the lowest possible price.
Vijayawada sits on the banks of the Krishna river beside the Prakasam Barrage, with the hilltop Kanaka Durga temple drawing steady pilgrim traffic. It is the commercial gateway to the Amaravati capital region and a hub for the fertile Krishna delta. Nearby Undavalli caves, Kondapalli toys and Guntur's chilli markets add cultural and culinary interest to a fast-growing river city.
Web check-in opens 48 hours before departure; complete it for both legs if connecting to secure seats and shorten queues. DigiYatra is optional and live at Pune for a faster, face-based security lane. Carry a government photo ID — Aadhaar, driving licence or passport — matching the booking. Arrive about 2 hours before a domestic departure, and keep at least 75 minutes at any hub.

There is currently no non-stop service between Pune and Vijayawada — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 1h 35m non-stop (or 3h–5h 1-stop via Hyderabad/Bengaluru). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent.
