Airlines & non-stop options
IndiGo is the only carrier running a non-stop between Rajkot and Bengaluru, and it does so roughly once a day — about seven services a week rather than a dense hourly schedule. The aircraft is a single-aisle Airbus A320 or A320neo in an all-economy layout.
If the single non-stop does not suit your timing, both IndiGo and Air India sell convenient 1-stop itineraries via Mumbai or Hyderabad. These add a couple of hours but open up far more departure choices. Note that Go First and Jet Airways are no longer flying, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so you will not see them on this sector in 2026.
Flight time, distance & routing
Rajkot's Hirasar airport (HSR) and Bengaluru's Kempegowda International (BLR) sit about 1,300 km apart by air. The non-stop covers that in roughly 2 hours 15 minutes gate to gate; actual block time shifts a little with winds and runway queues at busy BLR.
A 1-stop routing via Mumbai or Hyderabad typically runs 4.5 to 6 hours in total depending on the layover. Unless the connection saves you money, the direct flight is comfortably the better use of a day.
Best time to book & seasonal fares
With only one daily non-stop, this sector sells out faster than thicker trunk routes, so booking early matters more here than on, say, Delhi–Mumbai. As a rule, fares firm up in the final fortnight before departure.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|
| Diwali & Navratri (Oct–Nov) | Very high | Book 4–6 weeks out; Gujarat travel peaks |
| Summer holidays (Apr–Jun) | High | Book 3–4 weeks ahead |
| Monsoon (Jul–Sep) | Moderate | Often the cheapest window |
| Jan–Feb | Moderate | Good value on weekdays |

Getting your fare cheaper
A few habits genuinely move the needle: book two to four weeks ahead rather than the last few days; favour mid-week departures (Tuesday and Wednesday usually undercut Friday and Sunday); and stay flexible by a day either side, which on a once-daily route can mean the difference between the non-stop and a long connection.
Compare the non-stop against 1-stop fares — occasionally the connecting fare is materially cheaper, and if you are not time-pressed it can be worth the extra hours. Always cross-check the airline's own site against aggregators before paying.
Best departure windows
Because IndiGo schedules a single non-stop, your departure window is effectively fixed — recent schedules put it in the afternoon, arriving Bengaluru in the early evening. If you need a morning arrival in Bengaluru for a meeting, you will be looking at a 1-stop itinerary or an overnight stay near the airport the evening before.
Bengaluru's evening arrival bank is busy, so build in a buffer if you have an onward connection or a city appointment.
Advice by traveller type
Business: The single afternoon non-stop is limiting for same-day return trips; many corporate travellers fly down the evening before. Keep IndiGo's web check-in and a hand-baggage-only plan to clear BLR quickly.
Families: The 2h15m non-stop is short enough to manage with children. Pre-book seats together and carry snacks — onboard catering is buy-on-board only.
Students: Watch for the lowest fare buckets that open on lean weekdays in the monsoon and January. Travelling hand-baggage-only on IndiGo's lightest fare keeps costs down; just confirm your cabin-bag weight limit.
Airports & terminals
Rajkot — Hirasar (HSR): Rajkot's airport moved to the new greenfield Hirasar site (about 30 km from the city) and operates from a single integrated terminal. It is compact, so allow time mainly for the road journey out from town rather than for the terminal itself.
Bengaluru — Kempegowda (BLR): IndiGo domestic flights use Terminal 1. BLR is large and modern; follow signage to the right terminal, as Air India uses Terminal 2 for some services. The airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city centre.
Getting to & from the airport
At Rajkot: Hirasar is roughly 30 km from central Rajkot. App cabs and prepaid taxis are the practical options; budget 45–60 minutes and leave a margin for traffic on the highway.
At Bengaluru: BLR is 35–40 km from the city. The Vayu Vajra airport buses (KSRTC) are economical; app cabs are quicker but the fare swings with surge pricing and traffic, which can be heavy. Allow 60–90 minutes to reach the centre or tech corridors during peak hours.
Baggage allowance
On IndiGo's standard domestic fares you get 15 kg of check-in baggage plus one 7 kg cabin bag; the lightest fares may be hand-baggage-only, so read the fare rules before paying. Excess baggage is far cheaper pre-purchased online than at the airport counter.
Full current limits are on IndiGo baggage. If you are flying a 1-stop on Air India, check that carrier's allowance separately, as it differs by fare class.
Travel tips & weather
Rajkot is hot and dry for much of the year, with a sharp monsoon from late June; Bengaluru stays mild and pleasant year-round, cooler in the evenings. Pack a light layer for Bengaluru even in summer.
Monsoon thunderstorms occasionally delay Bengaluru arrivals in the evening bank — on a once-daily route, a delay has knock-on effects, so keep the morning of any onward plan flexible.
FlightGPT tip
On a route with a single daily non-stop, set a price alert early and book the moment you see a fare you are happy with — there is no second non-stop to fall back on if it sells out. If the timing is wrong, price the 1-stop via Mumbai or Hyderabad before defaulting to it; sometimes it is cheaper as well as more flexible.
Frequently asked questions

How long is the Rajkot to Bangalore flight?
The non-stop is about 2 hours 15 minutes gate to gate. A 1-stop connection typically takes 4.5 to 6 hours depending on the layover.
Which airlines fly Rajkot to Bangalore?
IndiGo operates the only non-stop. IndiGo and Air India also sell 1-stop itineraries via Mumbai or Hyderabad. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Which terminal at Bengaluru airport do I arrive at?
IndiGo uses Terminal 1 at Kempegowda International (BLR). Air India uses Terminal 2 for some flights, so check your boarding pass if you are on a 1-stop itinerary.
How far is Hirasar airport from Rajkot city?
Rajkot's Hirasar airport (HSR) is about 30 km from the city centre, roughly a 45–60 minute drive by cab or prepaid taxi.
What is the baggage allowance on this route?
IndiGo's standard domestic fares include 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag. The lightest fares may be hand-baggage-only. See /airlines/indigo/baggage for current limits.
Can I do web check-in for this flight?
Yes. IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure and closes about an hour before. Doing it online and travelling with cabin bags only saves time at both airports.
When is the cheapest time to book Rajkot to Bangalore?
Two to four weeks ahead, on mid-week departures, in the monsoon or January typically gives the best value. Avoid Navratri and Diwali, when Gujarat travel peaks.
What are my refund rights if the flight is cancelled?
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative flight. For long delays the airline must provide care and, in some cases, compensation. Refunds go back to the original payment method.
Do flights operate during the monsoon?
Yes, year-round. Evening thunderstorms at Bengaluru can occasionally cause delays during the monsoon, but cancellations are uncommon on this sector.
Can I carry my pet on this flight?
IndiGo does not carry pets in the cabin or hold on most domestic services. If you must travel with an animal, confirm the airline's current pet policy directly before booking, as rules change.
What is the rule for travelling with an infant?
Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a reduced fare and do not get a separate seat. Carry the child's age proof. One bag of infant essentials is usually allowed in addition to your cabin bag.
Should I book direct with the airline or through an OTA?
Both work. Booking direct can make changes and refunds simpler. Whichever you choose, compare the live fare on the airline's own site against aggregators before paying.
Is there a time difference between Rajkot and Bangalore?
No. All of India uses a single time zone (IST), so there is no time change on this route.
