Shirdi's flights to Bengaluru: IndiGo after SpiceJet's exit
Two airlines flew Shirdi to Bangalore until mid-2026. SpiceJet's single daily flight was scheduled to end on 30 Jun, 2026, which leaves IndiGo as the non-stop operator. IndiGo's flight numbers on the route have included 6E 452 and 6E 574, and current airport listings show IndiGo as the Bangalore operator. The number of daily IndiGo flights changes with the season and the day of the week, so check the timetable for your date. Schedules can also change at short notice when the airline adjusts its network. Search the route on FlightGPT to compare IndiGo's fares across the day, then book with the airline or travel partner you prefer.
From the Samadhi Mandir to Kakadi airport
Shirdi Airport is at Kakadi, in Kopargaon taluka, about 15 km south-west of the Sai Baba temple complex. The drive takes 25–30 minutes, longer on Thursdays and festival days when traffic around the temple slows to a crawl. Most hotels and the Shri Saibaba Sansthan guest houses can arrange a taxi; private taxis and autos also wait near the temple's main gates. Agree the fare before you leave. The terminal is modest, with a few food stalls. Arrive at least 75 minutes before departure, and on Thursday or a holiday weekend, give yourself 90 minutes. Carry an original photo ID; your darshan pass does not count as ID.
Timing your darshan around the flight
Most Bangalore pilgrims try to fit darshan and the flight into one or two days. A few practical points:
- Book a darshan slot online through the Shri Saibaba Sansthan Trust website in advance, especially for weekends and Thursdays, when queues are longest;
- leave at least three hours between finishing darshan and your flight, including the drive to Kakadi;
- the kakad aarti at dawn and the shej aarti at night are popular; plan your flight around whichever you attend.
Shani Shingnapur, about 70 km away, is a common add-on. If you want to visit both, allow a full day and consider flying back the next morning.
IndiGo baggage and what pilgrims carry home
IndiGo domestic economy includes 15 kg check-in and one 7 kg cabin bag, plus a small personal item. Pilgrims often return with prasad boxes, idols, photographs of Sai Baba and bottles of udi. Dry prasad and laddoos can travel in the cabin; anything liquid over 100 ml, including ghee or oil, must go into checked baggage. Glass frames and idols travel best wrapped in clothing in a checked bag. Security rules on items such as dry coconut change from time to time, so check IndiGo's restricted-items list before packing temple offerings. Elderly travellers can request a wheelchair through IndiGo when booking, which helps at both Kakadi and BLR.
Peak seasons: Ram Navami, Guru Purnima and Punyatithi
Shirdi follows a calendar of major festivals, each of which brings large crowds:
- Ram Navami in March or April;
- Guru Purnima in July;
- Vijayadashami, the day of Sai Baba's Punyatithi, in September or October;
- New Year's Eve and Day, when the temple stays open late.
Thursdays, Sai Baba's special day, are busier every week. Return flights to Bangalore fill the day after these festivals, and long weekends are reliably tight. Book as soon as your dates are fixed, and compare fares on FlightGPT. The fares you see are partner quotes and can change until you pay.
Arriving back at Bangalore's Kempegowda Airport
BLR is at Devanahalli, about 35–40 km north of central Bangalore. Depending on the season, IndiGo flights from Shirdi land in the afternoon or evening, and some itineraries sold on the route include a stop, so check that yours is listed as non-stop before booking. From arrivals, the BMTC Vayu Vajra buses run around the clock to Majestic, Silk Board, Electronic City and Whitefield, and app cabs and taxis are always available. Late at night, roads are clear and south Bangalore is about an hour away. Check your terminal on the boarding pass. If an elderly relative is travelling, arrange the airport pick-up in advance to avoid a long wait in the cab queue.
Other routes home: Aurangabad, Pune or Nashik
If the IndiGo non-stop is full, you have several choices within driving distance. Nashik's Ozar airport, about 90 km away, has IndiGo flights to Bangalore. Aurangabad (Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar), around 115 km, has flights to several cities. Pune, about 185 km, has many daily flights to Bangalore and is the most reliable fallback, though the drive takes four hours or more. Trains from Sainagar Shirdi station also reach Bengaluru on some days of the week, usually overnight. Leave a generous margin between a road transfer and a separately booked flight. Searching the alternative airports on FlightGPT shows which option works best on your date.
