Limited non-stop: check the date first
This is a short central-India hop where the issue is frequency, not distance. On the days a non-stop runs, it covers the 560 km in about 1h 30m. On the many days it does not, you connect once — most often via Mumbai (BOM), leveraging the quick 40-minute first leg, or via Hyderabad (HYD). A 1-stop itinerary lands at 3h 30m–5h door-to-door. Because the direct schedule is patchy, always confirm whether a non-stop flies on your chosen day before booking.
Connecting via Mumbai or Hyderabad
Mumbai is the natural hub: the STV–BOM leg is barely 40 minutes, and Nagpur frequency from Mumbai is high, giving totals around 3h 30m–4h 30m. Hyderabad works when Mumbai fares spike but adds southern backtracking. Keep a layover of at least 90 minutes at Mumbai — its apron is congested — and 75 minutes at Hyderabad on a single ticket. Self-connecting on two tickets needs a three-hour buffer to stay safe.
Airlines on the route
IndiGo carries most of this traffic on its A320 family across both legs and any thin non-stop. Air India serves via Mumbai and Hyderabad, and Akasa Air competes on the Surat and Mumbai legs with newer 737 MAX jets. Nagpur's position as a logistics and aviation hub means schedules shift as MIHAN-linked demand grows, so the best pairing changes seasonally — check the live board in the FlightGPT chat before committing.
Fares and the cheapest months
When you connect, fares run above a same-distance non-stop. For 2026, one-way economy typically sits ₹4,000–7,500 off-peak and ₹9,000–15,000 at peak. The cheapest months are usually February and July. Demand climbs around Diwali (October–November) and the December winter-wedding stretch, both heavy in this part of central India. Book 3–5 weeks ahead for the best fares. Ranges are indicative — confirm live pricing first.
