Looking for cheap flights from Tiruchirappalli to Kannur? FlightGPT compares live TRZ to CNN fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

There's no scheduled direct on this pair, so every booking connects. IndiGo (6E) carries most of the one-stop traffic via Bengaluru, and Air India Express (IX) adds options through Bengaluru and Chennai, mirroring its strong Kerala–Gulf network. On a typical day you'll find three to six workable one-stop itineraries. Kannur (CNN) is a young airport but well-connected to southern metros, so finding a connection is rarely the problem — price and timing are. See Kannur to Trichy for the reverse.
To be clear: TRZ–CNN is too thin for a non-stop, so you transit a hub. Bengaluru (BLR) gives the best frequency and timing and can keep total time near three hours on a good schedule. Chennai (MAA) works but adds an eastward detour, stretching journeys toward five hours. Book a single through-ticket with a 1–2 hour layover so the airline protects your connection and checks your bags through to Kannur.
Kannur International Airport (CNN) at Mattanur is modern and spacious, about 25 km southeast of Kannur town. Prepaid taxis, app cabs and KSRTC buses serve arrivals. A taxi into Kannur takes 40–50 minutes and costs roughly ₹700–₹1,000; for Thalassery or Wayanad onward, factor more. Because the airport is set away from the coast, pre-booking a cab is sensible. Our Kannur airport guide covers transfers and facilities.
As a short connecting route, economy one-way typically runs ₹4,200–₹9,500 depending on season and lead time, with the lowest fares in the monsoon months. All carriers include 7 kg cabin baggage; checked allowance is 15 kg on IndiGo and Air India Express and up to 25 kg on Air India fare bundles. Air India Express, geared to Gulf travellers, sometimes offers generous bundled allowances — check the fare family before paying for extra bags.
North Kerala's monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and the softest fares, while October–February is dry, pleasant and peak for tourism and family travel. The Theyyam ritual season (roughly December to March) draws culture-minded visitors. Year-end holidays spike both demand and price. For decent weather at lower cost, February is a sweet spot, with fares often 10–20% below the peak.
Kannur and the Malabar coast are known for spectacular Theyyam ritual performances, quiet beaches like Payyambalam and Muzhappilangad (a rare drive-in beach), the handloom and beedi heritage, and proximity to Wayanad's hills. It's less touristy than south Kerala, offering an authentic Malabar experience. Many TRZ travellers come for family visits, Theyyam season, or to use Kannur as a launch point for the Western Ghats.
Open web check-in 48 hours before departure to choose seats and skip queues at Trichy.
