Tips for 1½ hr Connections
Budget extra time if your itinerary crosses between T1 and T2, as the inter-terminal shuttle and re-screening can eat up 30-45 minutes.
International arrivals connecting to a domestic flight must clear Immigration and Customs, so factor in queue time especially during early morning international bank arrivals.
IndiGo operates a large domestic network from BLR and often keeps connecting flights within the same terminal, which simplifies transfers if booked on a single IndiGo ticket.
Check which terminal your arriving and departing flights use in advance, as airlines have been reassigned between T1 and T2 multiple times since T2 opened in 2022.
Allow more buffer during peak banks (early morning 5-9am and evening 17-22) when both security lines and shuttle buses get congested.
Busyness — Connection Risk

Low risk
Moderate
High risk
Tight connections are safer outside peak hours. Morning rush (6–9a), midday (11a–2p), and evening (4–8p) are highest risk.
Getting Between Concourses
A dedicated shuttle bus links T1 and T2 airside/landside depending on passenger status, with the ride itself taking 8-10 minutes but total transfer time often stretching to 30+ minutes with waiting and walking. International arrivals connecting to a domestic flight must clear Immigration and Customs before re-entering security, while domestic-to-domestic transfers within the same terminal can sometimes avoid full re-screening if on the same boarding pass sequence, though this is inconsistent.
