About this route

Because so many trips here are for work, flexible fares and good connection times matter. Tell us what you need and we'll quote fares whose rules fit.

Non-stop or one stop?

British Airways flies non-stop from Heathrow, and other airlines have added non-stop services in recent seasons. We tell you every non-stop option running on your dates when we quote.

One-stop journeys via Dubai (Emirates), Doha (Qatar Airways) or Abu Dhabi (Etihad) are popular, especially from Manchester and Birmingham.

When to fly

Bengaluru sits about 900 metres above sea level, so it is milder than most Indian cities all year. October to February is the most pleasant. The monsoon, from about June to September, brings rain but rarely the extremes of the coast.

Good to know

  • The airport is a long way north of the city, and the drive in can take well over an hour at busy times. Book your transfer before you land.
  • Business demand fills flights around the start and end of the working week, so mid-week dates can be easier to book.
  • Bengaluru is a good base for Mysuru and Coorg by road, and for the rest of south India by domestic flight.

Passports and visas

British passport holders need a valid Indian visa, an e-Visa or an OCI card to enter India. Apply for an e-Visa only through the Government of India's official website, never a lookalike, and check the current rules on GOV.UK before you book.
