This 1,789 km route has no non-stop, so you're choosing among connections. IndiGo (6E) carries the most one-stop combinations, generally via Chennai or Bengaluru, with Air India (AI) adding options via Chennai and Hyderabad. Across all carriers you'll usually find 4–8 bookable single-ticket itineraries a day. Trichy is well fed by short flights from the southern metros, so the limiting leg is the morning departure out of Varanasi rather than the final hop into TRZ.
Both ends are mid-size airports, so traffic routes through a metro. Chennai is the closest gateway to Trichy with frequent feeders and total times around 5h–6h; Bengaluru is comparable; Hyderabad can run slightly longer. On a single through-ticket, target a 60–90 minute layover. If you self-connect on two tickets, allow 2.5–3 hours at the hub to collect and re-check bags and pass security again, because a missed onward flight won't be protected.
Tiruchirappalli International Airport (TRZ) is about 5–7 km from the city centre, one of the closest airports to its town in the south. A taxi takes 15–25 minutes and costs roughly ₹300–₹500; town buses also run past the terminal. Srirangam's Ranganathaswamy temple is a 30–40 minute drive. Because Trichy is a busy Gulf gateway, the terminal can be lively at night, so keep a comfortable buffer if you're connecting onward internationally.
As a long connecting journey, economy one-way fares typically land at ₹7,500–₹13,000 depending on season and lead time, with festival and year-end weeks running higher. Booking 4–6 weeks out usually wins the best price. Cabin baggage is the standard 7 kg, with 15 kg checked on most fares; the cheapest IndiGo and Air India fare families can include less, so verify before you pay.

Trichy is hot for most of the year, with the pleasantest weather from November to February and a wet northeast monsoon in October–November. Temple festival weeks and the year-end peak push fares and hotels up, so for the cheapest seats fly in February–March or July–August, often 20–30% below peak. Keep an eye on Varanasi's December–January morning fog, which can delay an early first leg; a mid-morning departure better protects a tight connection.
Tiruchirappalli is a historic temple city dominated by the Rockfort temple perched on an 83-metre granite outcrop and the vast Srirangam temple complex nearby, one of the largest functioning Hindu temples in the world.

For pilgrims travelling from Varanasi, Trichy adds southern temple grandeur to a north–south spiritual journey.
