Amritsar (ATQ) sits in the far north-west; Port Blair (IXZ) is in the Bay of Bengal. No airline flies them non-stop, so your journey always connects. The two most efficient gateways are Delhi and Kolkata; some itineraries route through Chennai or Hyderabad.
A Delhi connection is convenient if you are starting in the morning, but the final hop to Port Blair is long. A Kolkata connection puts you closest to the Andamans for the shortest final leg (about two hours), which many travellers find the least tiring overall. Crucially, almost all flights to Port Blair land by early afternoon — the airport has historically limited night operations — so an overnight or pre-dawn start from Amritsar is common.
You will be booking IndiGo, Air India or Air India Express. IndiGo has the widest hub network and usually the most one-ticket options; the Air India group covers Delhi and the southern hubs. Go First, Jet Airways and Vistara are no longer operating — disregard any old listing showing those names. Book the whole trip on a single ticket where possible so the airline re-protects you if a leg is delayed.
The aerial distance is around 3,150 km — one of the longer domestic journeys in India. Realistically, with a single stop you are looking at 6 to 11 hours total. The best-timed Delhi or Kolkata connections sit at the lower end; a long mid-day layover or a southern hub pushes you higher. Because the final Port Blair leg must land in daylight, your routing is partly dictated by arrival cut-offs rather than pure schedule choice.
The Andamans peak from October to May, with a sharp spike around Christmas–New Year. Monsoon (roughly June–September) sees softer fares but rougher seas and occasional weather delays. On a long two-leg route, booking four to eight weeks ahead protects you from the steep last-minute fares.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–May (peak) | High | Best weather and seas; book early, especially Dec–Jan |
| Dec–Jan (festive) | Very high | Sharp fare spikes; reserve well ahead |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheaper fares but rain, rougher ferries and possible delays |
On a route this long, small choices add up:
Because Port Blair flights must arrive in daylight, the safest plan is an early Amritsar departure that lands you at the hub with time for a mid-morning or early-afternoon onward flight. Avoid itineraries that leave the final leg to late afternoon — if it is cancelled there may be no recovery flight that day. Many travellers deliberately overnight at Delhi or Kolkata and take a fresh morning flight to the islands.
Indian citizens no longer need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to visit the main inhabited Andaman islands, including Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) — carry a valid government photo ID. Permits are still required for certain tribal-reserve and restricted zones. Foreign nationals have separate rules. Rules can change, so confirm the current position before you travel and keep your ID handy throughout the journey.
Sri Guru Ram Das Jee International (ATQ) in Amritsar is a single-terminal airport about 11 km from the Golden Temple. Veer Savarkar International (IXZ) in Port Blair operates from a modern integrated terminal opened in recent years, with a single passenger building handling all flights. It sits close to the town, so transfers are short.
In Amritsar, app cabs and autos reach the airport in 20–30 minutes from the city centre. At Port Blair, prepaid taxis and hotel transfers are the norm; the town is only a few kilometres away. If you are heading straight to the ferry for Havelock or Neil, coordinate your flight arrival with the government and private ferry timings, which sell out in peak season.
Domestic economy typically includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, but the cheapest fares may be cabin-only — read the rules first. On a one-ticket connection your bags are usually tagged through to Port Blair. Pack reef-safe essentials and remember liquids over 100 ml must go in checked baggage. See IndiGo baggage for current allowances.
The Andamans are warm and humid all year. Carry light cottons, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and any prescription medicines you need, as island pharmacies are limited. Mobile data and ATMs work in Port Blair but can be patchy on the outer islands, so carry some cash and download offline maps. Build a buffer day at the start of your trip to absorb any connection delay on this long route.
