Cheapest time to fly & book
The Andamans' peak tourist season runs November to February (dry, calm seas, best for diving and beach time), so fares firm up then, especially around Christmas and New Year. The monsoon months (June–September) see reduced ferry services and some resort closures, but fares drop significantly. As of May 2026, indicative one-way economy fares range roughly ₹5,000–9,000 off-peak and ₹10,000–18,000 during peak weeks. Round trips typically run ₹10,000–28,000. Book 3–6 weeks ahead for best rates. Indicative only — check live fares in the FlightGPT chat.
Flight duration & routing
The non-stop Bengaluru → Port Blair flight covers roughly 1,650 km east across the Bay of Bengal in about 2 hours 45 minutes. Both cities are on IST, so there is no clock change. Morning departures get you to Port Blair by late morning, leaving time to catch an afternoon ferry to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep) island. One-stop routings via Chennai (MAA) are the most common alternative, adding roughly 2–3 hours depending on the layover.
Baggage & fares
On IndiGo domestic economy, the standard fare includes 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. Air India Express economy typically offers 15–20 kg checked depending on the fare class. If you're carrying snorkelling gear, dive equipment or surfboards, pre-declare oversized items and buy extra baggage online — it is significantly cheaper than airport counter rates. The Andamans have limited shopping, so most travellers pack light. Vegetarian meal options are available for pre-order on Air India Express; IndiGo offers buy-on-board snacks.

Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) at Port Blair has a single passenger terminal and sits about 3 km south of the town centre. Pre-paid taxis and auto-rickshaws connect the airport to the main jetty area in about 15–20 minutes. If you're catching a same-day ferry to Havelock, book the ferry in advance and allow time for the airport–jetty transfer.
Do you need any documents?
This is a domestic Indian flight, so there is no visa or passport requirement — a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence, voter ID or PAN card) matching your ticket name is sufficient. No special permit is required for Indian citizens visiting the main Andaman islands (Port Blair, Havelock, Neil, Baratang). However, visits to certain tribal reserve areas and some remote islands require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Port Blair. Foreign nationals have additional permit requirements.
Best time to visit
The Andamans are at their best from November to February — clear skies, calm turquoise seas, excellent visibility for snorkelling at Radhanagar Beach and diving at Havelock's Elephant Beach. March–May is warm but still good for water activities. The south-west monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and rough seas; some ferry services and dive operators shut down. October sees tapering rains and the islands greening up — a nice shoulder option. See the Port Blair destination guide for more.
