Pune to Nagpur Flights
Pune to Nagpur flights connect two of Maharashtra's largest cities, linking the state's IT and manufacturing base in the west with Nagpur's role as a logistics and trade hub in central India. 12 flights operate on this route each day, mainly on Air India, IndiGo. The aerial distance between Pune and Nagpur is approximately 590 km, and most direct flights complete the journey in around 1 hr 15 mins . One way fares on Goibibo start from ₹4631, with today's lowest fare at ₹8118 on IndiGo. Fares vary with travel dates, booking window and demand, and this becomes noticeable around Dhammachakra Pravartan Din each October, when pilgrimage travel to Nagpur's Deekshabhoomi rises sharply.

Why Pune to Nagpur Flights See Steady Demand
Several distinct groups of travellers keep this route busy through the year.
- State legislators, government staff and journalists travelling for the Maharashtra winter assembly session held in Nagpur.
- Pilgrims visiting Deekshabhoomi, particularly around Dhammachakra Pravartan Din each October.
- Business travellers connected to Nagpur's logistics, warehousing and orange trade, given the city's central location in India.
- Medical travellers visiting Nagpur's hospitals and specialty clinics.
- Students and families with ties to both cities.
- Because the winter assembly session and the Deekshabhoomi pilgrimage period fall at different points in the year, this route sees two distinct, largely predictable demand spikes rather than a single peak season.
Connecting Flights on the Pune to Nagpur Route
Most travellers on this sector fly non-stop, since the direct journey is already short at around 1 hr 15 mins . A smaller number of connecting itineraries route through Mumbai or Hyderabad, generally adding two to three hours to the total trip. A connection on this route tends to make sense only when direct flights are sold out or the fare gap is wide enough to justify the extra time.
Airport Terminal and Check-in Information
Pune to Nagpur flights depart from Pune Airport, which operates as a civil enclave alongside an Indian Air Force base, so building in a little extra time for security is worth doing. Check in counters generally open two hours before a domestic departure and close 45 minutes prior to the flight. Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar International Airport in Nagpur runs its domestic traffic through a single terminal, with prepaid taxi counters and car rental desks available on arrival.
How to Book Pune to Nagpur Flight Tickets on Goibibo
- Log in to a Goibibo account.
- Enter Pune as the origin and Nagpur as the destination, along with travel dates and traveller count.
- Sort the results by price, duration or departure time, and apply an airline or non-stop filter if needed.
- During the winter assembly session or around Dhammachakra Pravartan Din, check availability a few days on either side of the intended date, since seats can sell out early.
- Pick a fare type based on how much flexibility is needed for cancellation or a date change.
- Apply a promo code or bank offer at checkout if one is running.
- Complete payment to receive the e-ticket and invoice by email.
Best Time to Book and Fly
- The Maharashtra winter assembly session, usually held in December, brings a sharp rise in demand from officials, staff and journalists travelling to Nagpur.
- Dhammachakra Pravartan Din, observed each October at Deekshabhoomi, draws a large pilgrimage crowd and pushes fares up in the days around it.
- Booking a few months ahead is advisable for regular travel, and earlier still around the assembly session or the pilgrimage period.
- Tuesday and Wednesday departures are usually priced lower than weekend flights outside these windows.
Baggage Allowance
- Cabin baggage is capped at 7 kg on standard economy fares.
- Check in baggage typically starts at 15 kg on the base fare and rises to 20 or 25 kg on higher fare tiers.
- Buying extra baggage online in advance usually works out cheaper than paying for it at the airport counter.
- Infants under 2 years travelling without their own seat are generally given a smaller check in allowance, set by the airline.
Fare Types on This Route
- Airlines operating this sector generally price economy in a few tiers, and the choice mostly comes down to baggage and how easily the ticket can be changed later.
- Saver fare – the lowest fare, with standard baggage and the full cancellation fee applying.
- Flexi fare – adds a lower cancellation charge and, on some airlines, a complimentary meal.
- Flex fare – raises the check in baggage limit and generally allows a free date change within a set window, useful when official travel schedules can shift.
- Premium or Business, where offered – the highest baggage allowance on the route, with meals and seat selection included.
Tips to Save More on This Route
- Book well ahead of the winter assembly session and Dhammachakra Pravartan Din specifically, since fares rise the most and seats sell out fastest around these dates.
- Set a fare alert rather than checking manually, given how quickly seats move during these periods.
- Compare today's fare with tomorrow's before confirming, since prices can shift within the same day.
- Tuesday and Wednesday flights are usually the cheapest days to fly outside of peak periods.
- Stack an active promo code with any running bank offer at checkout.
- For a group travelling together for the pilgrimage or an official delegation, booking all tickets in one transaction can make seat selection together easier.

Refunds for Cancelled or Rescheduled Flights
The refund process for a Pune to Nagpur flight depends on the airline operating it and the reason for the change. When the airline cancels or reschedules a flight, passengers are usually offered a full refund, a switch to another flight at no extra cost, or a travel credit. Airline triggered refunds are generally processed within 7 to 10 working days to the original payment method. If the passenger cancels instead, the cancellation fee tied to that fare type is deducted before the refund is issued. The status of a refund already in progress can be tracked through the My Trips section of a Goibibo account.
Group and Corporate Bookings
Groups of 10 or more passengers travelling together on the same Pune to Nagpur flight can request group fares through Goibibo's group booking desk. This is used often by government departments coordinating travel for the winter assembly session, pilgrimage groups travelling for Dhammachakra Pravartan Din, and logistics or warehousing companies moving staff between the two cities. Group bookings typically allow flexible payment schedules and one consolidated invoice. Fare quotes for group bookings depend on seat availability at the time of the request, so the number given should be treated as a starting point rather than a final price. Corporate travellers with a registered business account can also generate GST compliant invoices for expense reporting.
