How to Book Your Jaipur to Lucknow Flight Ticket

Choosing the Right Fare

IndiGo operates from Terminal 2 at Jaipur International Airport (JAI) and Terminal 3 at Chaudhary Charan Singh International Airport (LKO).
Recent Airport Changes

IndiGo domestic flights depart from Terminal 2, located about 13 km from the city centre.
You will arrive at the newly built Terminal 3. It is situated roughly 14 km from central Lucknow.
