Today's indicative fares Surat to Bangalore
As of June 2026, indicative one-way Surat to Bangalore economy fares typically run ₹4,500-₹8,500. The lowest buckets — around ₹4,000-₹4,800 — appear on quiet mid-week departures booked two to four weeks ahead, usually on IndiGo or Air India Express. Air India's non-stop can sit higher when only flexible classes remain, but it includes complimentary onboard service and a fuller baggage allowance.
With only a couple of non-stops a day, the cheapest seats on popular dates go early, and fares can cross ₹9,000-₹12,000 around Diwali, Christmas-New Year and the summer holidays. These are indicative ranges, not live quotes. For the real price on your dates, run a Surat to Bangalore search in the FlightGPT chat, which compares airline-direct and travel-site fares together.

Airlines flying Surat to Bangalore
IndiGo (6E) anchors the Surat to Bangalore non-stop schedule on A320neo/A321neo aircraft and usually posts the lowest published fares. Air India (AI) offers a full-service non-stop with complimentary meals, free seat selection on most fares and Maharaja Club mileage. Air India Express (IX) adds value-carrier non-stops on Boeing 737-800s, often competitive during sales.
Frequency is modest — typically two to three non-stops daily combined — so it pays to check all carriers for a given date rather than assuming one always wins. For price, IndiGo and Air India Express trade the cheapest slot; for a full-service cabin and onward connections from Bengaluru, Air India is the choice. See our IndiGo and Air India airline pages.
Flight schedule & timings
With only two to three non-stops a day, the Surat to Bangalore schedule is less dense than a metro-to-metro route, so flights cluster rather than running hourly. Expect a morning or mid-day option and an evening departure on most days, but check exact timings on your booking, as they shift seasonally and a single cancellation can thin the day's choices.
The non-stop blocks about 1 hour 55 minutes for the 1,042 km. With both cities on IST there is no time change. Because the route is thinner, build in a little buffer if you have onward plans from Bengaluru. For trip planning at the destination, see our Bangalore destination guide.
Non-stop vs 1-stop options
The Surat to Bangalore non-stop — about 1h 55m — is comfortably the best option when a seat is available at a fair fare. One-stop itineraries via Mumbai, Hyderabad or Delhi exist and can occasionally undercut a sold-out non-stop on peak dates, but they typically add three to six hours to the journey, so they are a fallback rather than a default.
Because non-stop frequency is limited, the practical risk on this route is the cheapest direct seats selling out, not the absence of a direct flight. Book the non-stop early for popular dates; keep a connection in reserve only for festival peaks. If you are weighing Surat's metro links, compare our Surat to Delhi page, which has more daily frequency.
When to book for the lowest fare
Aim to book Surat to Bangalore two to four weeks ahead for ordinary travel — and earlier, six to ten weeks, for Diwali, year-end and summer holidays, because the limited non-stop seats at the lowest fare classes sell out first on this thinner route. Inside a week, you are exposed to last-minute pricing that rarely drops when only two or three flights operate.
Set a price alert as soon as your dates are fixed, and watch for IndiGo and Air India Express fare sales, usually released mid-week. Read our 2026 online booking guide for the full set of timing tactics, including how to spot a genuine sale fare versus a routine fluctuation.
Cheapest days & times to fly
Tuesday and Wednesday are generally the cheapest days to fly Surat to Bangalore, with Friday and Sunday the priciest. On a low-frequency route the day-of-week effect can be sharper, because a single popular flight on a Friday fills quickly and pushes remaining seats into higher buckets.
By time of day, the first morning departure and the last evening flight usually carry lower fares than the convenient mid-day slot. If your plans flex, an off-peak outbound paired with an off-peak return — booked as two one-ways, even across different airlines — often beats a single round-trip fare. Just keep the limited frequency in mind when choosing return times.
Baggage allowance & extra fees
Domestic economy is typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express, though Air India Express and IndiGo's cheapest value fares may sell a checked-bag-free base fare — check what your fare includes before paying. Excess baggage at the airport runs about ₹500-₹600 per extra kg; pre-paying online is cheaper.
Seat selection, priority boarding and meals are paid add-ons on low-cost fares, usually a few hundred rupees each, while Air India bundles more into the base fare. Allowances and fees change — verify the exact numbers on the airline's official site before booking, particularly the cheapest value fares where a checked bag is not included.
Bangalore airport & arrival guide
Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) sits about 40 km north of central Bengaluru. Terminal 1 (T1) handles most domestic arrivals, including IndiGo; the newer Terminal 2 (T2) — the "Terminal in a Garden" — handles international flights and selected premium domestic services, so always confirm your terminal on the boarding pass. T1 and T2 are a few kilometres apart with a free shuttle.
From the airport, the BMTC Vayu Vajra buses to Majestic, Whitefield and other hubs are the cheapest transfer; app cabs to MG Road run higher and add an airport toll. Allow for Bengaluru's notorious city traffic when planning your arrival timing. For onward travel, compare our Bangalore to Kochi route page.
Cancellation, refund & date-change rules
Indian domestic flights follow DGCA's CAR Section 3, Series M passenger-rights rules, with each airline setting its own cancellation and change fees by fare class. The cheapest IndiGo and Air India Express fares are largely non-refundable except statutory taxes; flexible fares are refundable minus a fee. Date changes cost a change fee plus any fare difference — verify exact charges on the airline's official site before booking, as they change.
If the airline cancels your Surat to Bangalore flight, you are entitled to a full refund or free rebooking on the next service — though on a thin route the next non-stop may be the following day, so a flexible fare can be worth it if your plans are uncertain. See our DGCA passenger rights guide for delay-care thresholds.
