Vijayawada to Bengaluru is a healthy daily non-stop route. IndiGo is the mainstay, running about four direct departures a day spread across the day, on its A320/A321 family jets. Air India Express adds non-stop frequencies on selected days of the week, flown on Boeing 737s.
Between the two, you almost always have a same-day direct option, so there is rarely any need to connect. Choose on timing and price rather than worrying about stops.
Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations, and Vistara has merged into Air India — disregard any old listing showing them on this route.
The two cities are about 520 km apart, a short southwest hop. The non-stop takes around 1 hour 25 minutes gate to gate. Both Andhra Pradesh and Karnataka are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change.
With several non-stops a day, you can pick a flight that lands you in Bengaluru for a morning meeting or an evening arrival without ever connecting. One-stop fares exist but make little sense on a route this short and well served.
Frequencies are good, which keeps fares competitive, but the busiest flights still fill. Book one to four weeks ahead for the best balance of price and timing. Demand reflects business travel between the two cities and weekend traffic.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Weekday mornings & evenings | High | Business peaks; book popular slots early |
| Festival periods (Sankranti, Dussehra, Diwali) | High | Andhra travel spikes; fares firm |
| Mid-week, midday flights | Lower | Best value; lighter loads |

FlightGPT shows live prices across both carriers and links you to book direct at the lowest figure displayed.
With roughly four IndiGo non-stops plus Air India Express on some days, you have real choice. Early-morning departures suit a full day in Bengaluru and tend to be the most punctual before the day's delays build up. Late-evening flights work for finishing the day in Vijayawada first.
For the best mix of price and on-time performance, a midday departure is often the sweet spot — lighter loads and lower fares than the morning and evening peaks.
Business travellers: the spread of frequencies makes a same-day return realistic — take an early flight out and an evening flight back. Web check-in and cabin-only baggage keep the turnaround quick.
Families: at just 1h 25m the flight is easy with children. Pick a midday departure to avoid peak-hour crowds at both airports and book seats together early.
Students and budget travellers: off-peak midday flights are usually the cheapest. With this many non-stops you should never need a connection, so avoid one-stop fares that cost more and take longer.
Vijayawada International Airport (VGA) at Gannavaram has a single domestic terminal handling all flights, so departure is simple — no terminal to choose.
At Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), the terminal depends on your airline. IndiGo uses Terminal 1; Air India Express uses Terminal 2. The two terminals are a short shuttle apart, so check your boarding pass and head to the right one — especially important on the return leg from Bengaluru.
Vijayawada: VGA is at Gannavaram, about 20 km from the city centre, typically a 35–45 minute cab ride. App cabs, airport taxis and buses serve the route; allow time as it is outside town.
Bengaluru: BLR is in Devanahalli, roughly 35–40 km north of the city, so a cab to central or southern Bengaluru can take 60–90 minutes or more in traffic. The KIA airport buses (Vayu Vajra) and app cabs are reliable; budget generously for the city commute on either side of your flight.
Domestic economy on both carriers generally includes 15 kg checked baggage plus one 7 kg cabin bag. See IndiGo baggage for IndiGo's current rules; Air India Express allowances are broadly similar but confirm on your fare. Excess is charged per kilo at the airport, so weigh bags before you leave.
Both cities are warm for much of the year. Vijayawada is hot from March to June, with monsoon rain July to September; Bengaluru is mild and pleasant year-round, with the heaviest rain during the southwest and post-monsoon months. Delays are uncommon on this short sector outside heavy monsoon spells.
Keep your ID and boarding pass handy, and on the Bengaluru return double-check whether you depart T1 or T2.
The one thing to get right on this route is the Bengaluru terminal — IndiGo flies T1, Air India Express flies T2, and they are a shuttle ride apart. Note it from your boarding pass before you head to BLR, and allow extra time for the long city-to-airport commute in Devanahalli. For price, a midday IndiGo non-stop is usually the cheapest and most punctual — compare it against Air India Express on FlightGPT and book direct.
Yes. IndiGo flies the route non-stop about four times a day, and Air India Express adds frequencies on selected days. The non-stop takes around 1h 25m.
The non-stop is about 1 hour 25 minutes gate to gate over roughly 520 km. There is no time change as both cities are on IST.
IndiGo (A320/A321 family) is the main operator, with Air India Express (Boeing 737) on some days. Go First, Jet Airways and Vistara no longer operate — Vistara has merged into Air India.
It depends on the airline: IndiGo uses Terminal 1 (T1) and Air India Express uses Terminal 2 (T2) at Kempegowda International Airport. Check your boarding pass, especially for the return.
Vijayawada International Airport (VGA) at Gannavaram has a single domestic terminal, so there is no terminal to choose.
Domestic economy is usually 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag on both carriers. See IndiGo baggage for IndiGo's rules and confirm Air India Express on your fare.
Yes. Both IndiGo and Air India Express open web check-in 48 hours before departure, letting you pick a seat and skip the counter.
Under DGCA rules, an airline cancellation entitles you to a full refund including statutory taxes, as does cancelling within 24 hours of booking for travel 7+ days out. Voluntary cancellations otherwise carry the airline's fee.
Midday, mid-week flights are usually the cheapest, with morning and evening business peaks and festival periods (Sankranti, Dussehra, Diwali) pricing higher. Compare IndiGo and Air India Express on your date.
Heavy monsoon rain (July–September) can occasionally cause delays, but this short, well-served sector is rarely disrupted. Allow a little buffer in peak monsoon.
IndiGo and Air India Express permit domestic pet carriage subject to advance booking, health documents and limited slots. Arrange it directly with the airline ahead of travel and confirm acceptance at both airports.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap at a nominal fare with no separate seat. Carry date-of-birth proof; one lap infant per adult.

One to four weeks is usually enough on this well-served route, but book earlier for festival periods and busy weekday peaks when the popular slots fill.
