Varanasi (VNS) to Bengaluru (BLR) is served non-stop by IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express. Between them they put up roughly four to six non-stop flights a day, so you have a genuine choice of departure times rather than a single fixed service.
Note that Air India mainline often shows up in results too, but on this sector it usually routes one-stop via Delhi or Mumbai rather than flying you straight through. If a non-stop matters to you, filter for it before booking. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore any older listings that still name them.
The great-circle distance is about 1,465 km and a non-stop takes roughly 2h 25m to 2h 40m in the air, depending on winds and the runway in use at Bengaluru. The aircraft tracks south-west across central India — over Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and into Karnataka.
A one-stop itinerary via Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad can stretch the total journey to four to seven hours once you add the layover, so the time saving from a true non-stop is significant on this pair.
As a pilgrimage-and-business city pair, Varanasi–Bengaluru sees uneven demand through the year. Festival season around Diwali and Dev Deepawali (October–November) and the winter wedding months tend to firm up fares, while the monsoon and high summer are usually softer.
| Period | Typical demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Nov (festivals) | High | Book 4–6 weeks out |
| Dec–Jan (winter, weddings) | High | Book early; fog can disrupt mornings |
| Feb–Mar | Moderate | 3–4 weeks usually fine |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Lower | More last-minute room |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Often the cheapest window |
Fares move constantly, so treat the above as a demand guide rather than a price promise.
A few habits help on this route. Book two to six weeks ahead rather than within the last few days. Be flexible by a day either side — mid-week departures are usually cheaper than Friday or Sunday. Travel light and skip checked bags if you can, since cabin-only fares are the lowest. And compare the airline's own website price against the OTA price before you commit; sometimes booking direct is cheaper after fees, and it makes any later change or refund simpler.
Early-morning departures out of Varanasi get you into Bengaluru before lunch, which suits business meetings and onward connections to the South. Winter mornings at Varanasi can see fog delays between roughly mid-December and January, so if you have a tight onward plan a late-morning or afternoon non-stop is the safer bet during that window.
Business travellers: pick the earliest non-stop and add a buffer in winter for fog. A carry-on-only fare plus web check-in gets you out of Bengaluru quickly.
Families and pilgrims: afternoon non-stops are calmer and avoid the fog window. Pre-book seats together and any checked baggage to keep the total predictable.
Students: the cheapest cabin-only fares booked a few weeks out are your friend; mid-week travel and monsoon months tend to be lightest on the wallet.
Varanasi — Lal Bahadur Shastri International (VNS) at Babatpur is a single-terminal airport about 25 km north-west of the city; allow time for the drive. Bengaluru — Kempegowda International (BLR) has two terminals: low-cost carriers including IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express handle most domestic flights from T1, while Air India typically uses T2. There is no airside connection between T1 and T2, so check your arrival terminal if you have an onward Air India connection.
At Varanasi, plan for a 45–60 minute drive from the city or the ghats to the airport, longer in festival traffic; pre-paid taxis and app cabs are the usual choices. At Bengaluru, the airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city centre. Use the official Vayu Vajra airport buses, app cabs or the airport taxi counters; allow 60–90 minutes to reach central or south Bengaluru in traffic.
On domestic fares the typical free cabin allowance is one bag up to 7 kg plus a small personal item, and checked allowance depends on the fare family — many of the cheapest fares are cabin-only. Always pre-purchase extra checked baggage online, as airport rates are far higher. Check the exact numbers for your carrier: IndiGo baggage, Akasa Air baggage and Air India Express baggage.
Varanasi is cold and occasionally foggy in December–January, pleasant in spring and autumn, and hot before the monsoon. Bengaluru stays mild year-round thanks to its altitude — pack a light layer even in summer evenings. If you are flying around major Varanasi festivals, leave extra time for road congestion to the airport.
Lock a non-stop rather than letting an OTA quietly route you one-stop via Delhi — the price gap is often small but the time saved is hours. On FlightGPT, filter for non-stop, compare the airline's own fare against the aggregator price, and book the option that is cheapest after fees.
Yes. IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express operate non-stop between Varanasi (VNS) and Bengaluru (BLR), with roughly four to six departures a day. Air India mainline usually routes the sector one-stop, so filter for non-stop if that matters.
A non-stop takes about 2h 25m to 2h 40m for the roughly 1,465 km. A one-stop connection via Delhi, Mumbai or Hyderabad can take four to seven hours in total.
Non-stop: IndiGo, Akasa Air and Air India Express. Air India also sells the route but typically as a one-stop itinerary.
Most low-cost carriers — IndiGo, Akasa Air, Air India Express — use Terminal 1 (T1) for domestic flights, while Air India generally uses Terminal 2 (T2). Check your specific flight before you travel.
Lal Bahadur Shastri International (VNS) is a single-terminal airport, so all flights use the same terminal.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight or you cancel within 24 hours of a booking made at least seven days before departure, you are entitled to a refund. Statutory taxes and user development fees are refundable even on non-refundable fares. The airline must offer an alternative flight or a full refund for its own cancellations.
Typically one 7 kg cabin bag plus a personal item, with checked allowance depending on the fare. Many of the cheapest fares are cabin-only, so buy any checked bags online in advance to avoid steep airport charges.
Most carriers open web check-in 48 hours before departure and close it 60–120 minutes before. Doing it online lets you pick seats and skip the airport counter queue.
Possibly. Varanasi can see dense fog on December and January mornings, which sometimes delays early departures. If you have tight onward plans in winter, a late-morning or afternoon non-stop is safer.
The June–September monsoon can bring weather delays at either end, but it is also usually the cheapest time to fly this route. Build in a little buffer for connections.
Some carriers allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic flights, subject to weight limits, carrier rules and advance booking. Policies differ by airline, so confirm directly with the airline well before you travel.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a small fee and a nominal taxes-only charge on most carriers. Carry the infant's age proof and book the infant on the ticket in advance.
It varies. Aggregators sometimes show a lower headline fare, but booking on the airline's own site can be cheaper after fees and makes changes or refunds simpler. Compare both before you decide — FlightGPT shows you the side-by-side.
For a domestic flight, arrive about two hours before departure. Bengaluru can be busy at peak times, and the drive to Varanasi's airport from the city takes the better part of an hour.
