Ahmedabad (AMD) to Port Blair (IXZ) has no non-stop flight. Port Blair is reached only from southern and eastern mainland gateways, so every itinerary from Gujarat involves one stop. IndiGo offers the widest range of single-connection routings, typically via Chennai (MAA), Bengaluru (BLR) or Hyderabad (HYD); some itineraries route via Kolkata (CCU). Air India also connects the pair through its hubs.
Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, so ignore any stale listing showing them here. The shortest practical connections generally route through the southern hubs with frequent Port Blair service. Sort options by total journey time rather than fare alone — a marginally pricier ticket through Chennai or Bengaluru can shave hours off a long layover.
The aerial distance from Ahmedabad to Port Blair is roughly 2,650 km, one of the longer domestic city-pairs, and you cover it in two legs. Total journey time with one stop is about 7 to 10 hours depending on the hub and layover length. Combined airborne time is around 4 hours; the balance is the connection.
Common routings are via Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad, all of which have frequent IXZ departures. Because the Andaman leg operates only in daylight, connections are timed so the IXZ flight lands by early afternoon — which means an early start from Ahmedabad is usually unavoidable.
Andaman fares from western India track the islands' tourist calendar and the limited seat supply to Port Blair. Peak winter and holiday periods see the steepest connecting fares; the wet monsoon months are cheapest. Booking three to six weeks ahead generally secures the best price, and last-minute IXZ tickets are notoriously expensive.
| Period | Demand | Fare trend |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak season) | High | Dearest; book well ahead |
| Mar–May | Moderate | Mid-range value |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Low | Cheapest, weather risk |
| Long weekends / Diwali / school holidays | Very high | Sharp spikes |

On this long two-leg sector, split-ticketing often pays: book AMD to a southern hub (Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad) and the hub to Port Blair separately, picking the cheapest carrier on each leg. You take on the delay risk, so leave a generous connection if you do this. Flexible dates help too — mid-week IXZ arrivals usually undercut weekend ones.
Layer a bank or co-branded card offer on the base fare, and set a price alert so you can book the moment a fare dips, since Andaman seats genuinely sell out. IndiGo's 6E Student fare and Air India's senior discount apply on the mainland legs for eligible travellers.
The daylight-only Port Blair leg dictates the schedule. To reach IXZ the same day, you almost always take an early-morning departure from Ahmedabad connecting through a southern hub, landing in Port Blair around midday. That leaves the afternoon to clear the airport and settle in before dark.
Be wary of late-morning AMD departures unless the itinerary clearly shows a same-day onward IXZ leg — many do not, leaving an overnight halt at the hub. Always confirm the whole journey is on one ticket if you want the airline to protect a missed connection.
Business travellers are uncommon on this leisure route; if required, take the tightest single-PNR connection and travel a day early, as same-day onward margins are thin. Families should book early, pick the shortest layover to keep the long day manageable, and reserve seats together. Students and budget travellers get the most value in the March–May shoulder or monsoon and benefit most from split-ticketing through a southern hub. Whatever your profile, build in buffer time — missing the daylight IXZ connection can cost a full day of your trip.
Ahmedabad — Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) has two terminals: Terminal 1 handles domestic flights and Terminal 2 handles international. Your Port Blair connection departs from T1, the domestic terminal. The two terminals are a short distance apart; check your boarding pass, but a domestic-to-domestic connection keeps you in T1.
Port Blair — Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) at Lamba Line is a single-terminal airport with a modern integrated building. It is a small, daylight-only operation roughly 2–4 km from central Port Blair, so arrival formalities and transfers are quick.
At Ahmedabad, SVPI is about 8–10 km north-east of the city centre. App-cabs (Ola/Uber), prepaid taxis and autorickshaws all serve T1; allow 25–40 minutes from central Ahmedabad, more in peak traffic. The airport is also reachable by city bus.
At Port Blair, IXZ is a 5–10 minute drive from the main town and Aberdeen Bazaar. Prepaid taxis are available at the terminal and many hotels and dive operators offer pickups — the simplest choice after a long travel day. If you are continuing to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep), the onward link is by ferry from Port Blair's jetty; book a morning sailing.
Standard domestic economy is 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo and Air India. On a single-ticket connection, your bags are usually tagged through to Port Blair — confirm at the first check-in. See the IndiGo baggage and Air India baggage pages for fare-wise specifics.
If you split the booking into two separate tickets, collect and re-check your bags at the hub, and each leg's allowance counts independently. Pre-pay any excess online to avoid steep airport-counter rates. The Andamans restrict certain items — review current rules before packing.
Port Blair is warm and humid all year. The October–April dry season offers the clearest seas and best diving; the southwest monsoon (roughly June–September) brings heavy rain and rough seas that can disrupt inter-island ferries even when flights operate. Pack light cottons, a rain layer for the wet months, reef-safe sunscreen and any prescription medicines.
Carry your government photo ID for the flight; Indian nationals need no permit for Port Blair and the main tourist islands, though some areas are restricted. Island connectivity can be weak, so download offline maps and ferry schedules before leaving the mainland.
On a long, multi-hub route like Ahmedabad–Port Blair, the cheapest headline fare often hides a punishing layover or an overnight halt. Ask FlightGPT to rank connections by total journey time and to flag any itinerary that cannot reach Port Blair the same day. The chat compares airline-direct and OTA pricing together, so you can also spot a split-ticket saving through a southern hub — then book the option that lands you in Port Blair before the afternoon, with bags and connection sorted.
No. There is no non-stop service between Ahmedabad (AMD) and Port Blair (IXZ). Every itinerary involves one stop, most often via Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad, with IndiGo offering the widest choice of single connections.
With one stop, total travel time is roughly 7 to 10 hours depending on the hub and layover. Combined airborne time across both legs is about 4 hours; the rest is the connection wait.
IndiGo and Air India both offer connecting itineraries, with IndiGo carrying the most options. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, so disregard any old listing showing them.
Connections via Chennai, Bengaluru or Hyderabad are usually quickest, as all have frequent Port Blair departures. Routings via Kolkata also exist but can add distance from western India.
No permit is required for Indian nationals to visit Port Blair or the main tourist islands. Carry a valid government photo ID for the flight. Some areas of the Andamans remain restricted.
Domestic flights, including your Port Blair connection, depart from Terminal 1 (T1) at Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport. Terminal 2 handles international flights only.
Standard domestic economy is 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on IndiGo and Air India. On a single-ticket connection, bags are usually tagged through to Port Blair — confirm at check-in. See the IndiGo baggage page for fare-wise details.
Yes. If both legs are on one ticket with the same airline, you can web check-in for the whole journey from 48 hours before departure. Split tickets on different airlines require separate check-in for each leg.
On a single-ticket itinerary, the airline rebooks you on the next available flight at no charge. On separately booked tickets, you bear the risk and cost — which is why a through-ticket is safer on this long sector.
Flights usually operate through the monsoon, but heavy rain can cause delays and rough seas may disrupt onward ferries to Havelock and Neil even when flights run. Allow buffer time in the wet months.
Under DGCA rules, a cancellation entitles you to a full refund within the prescribed period or a free rebooking on the next available service, plus care obligations during long airport delays.
Pet carriage varies by airline and must be arranged in advance; a connecting itinerary with an aircraft change complicates it. Contact the operating carrier well before travel, as not all flights accept pets.
It is a long day with a layover, so choose the shortest connection, carry an infant ID document, and request bassinet or front-row seating where available. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fare on each leg.
Booking direct can simplify rebooking if a connection breaks; OTAs sometimes show lower combined fares. FlightGPT compares both in one search so you can weigh price against the safety of a single-PNR through-ticket.
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is only about 2–4 km from central Port Blair, a 5–10 minute drive. Prepaid taxis are available and many hotels offer pickups.
