Route · MAA → BLR
Flights from Chennai to Bengaluru
The 266-kilometre hop between Chennai's Chhatrapati Shivaji — sorry, Chennai International (MAA) and Kempegowda International (BLR) is one of South India's busiest short-haul corridors, with a typical block time of around 48 minutes that makes it faster door-to-door than the roughly five-to-six-hour road journey on NH48, assuming no airport delays. IndiGo dominates frequency on this route, operating it with A320-family narrowbodies, while Air India and SpiceJet provide meaningful competition; JetLite capacity is minimal and worth checking only for schedule fit. A practical note worth flagging: BLR's terminal handling can shift between T1 and T2 depending on carrier and season, so confirm your terminal before booking ground transport, as the two are not adjacent. Fare-wise, midweek departures — Tuesday and Wednesday in particular — tend to carry softer prices than Friday-evening or Sunday-evening flights, which fill quickly with IT-sector commuters shuttling between the two tech hubs.
