The Chennai (MAA) connection is marginally shorter geographically and offers more IXZ-bound departures — IndiGo and Air India both operate daily MAA–IXZ flights, and the CCJ–MAA domestic hop takes ≈ 1h 00m. From MAA, the onward MAA–IXZ leg takes ≈ 2h 00m, totalling ≈ 3–4 hours airborne. The Bangalore (BLR) routing adds slightly more flying time on the feeder leg (CCJ–BLR ≈ 1h 10m), but BLR also has daily BLR–IXZ service on IndiGo and SpiceJet — useful if BLR connection times suit your schedule better. Both hubs are viable; the key is ensuring at least 2.5–3 hours between your CCJ arrival and IXZ departure at the hub.
Port Blair and the Andaman Islands are most popular during the October–February window, when the Andaman Sea is calm and visibility for diving and snorkelling is best. This is also peak-fare season from Calicut — book 6–8 weeks ahead for this period. The summer school holiday (May–June) sees another surge in family travel. July–September (monsoon) is the off-season — seas are rough, many water-sports operators close, but fares drop significantly and accommodation is cheaper. March–April is a sweet-spot window: reasonable weather, lower fares, and fewer crowds on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) islands.
The CCJ–MAA leg takes ≈ 1h 00m; MAA–IXZ takes ≈ 2h 00m, crossing the Bay of Bengal from Chennai eastward to the Andaman chain. With a 2–3 hour MAA layover, total elapsed time runs ≈ 5–6 hours. Via BLR, it's similar. There is no time difference — Port Blair and Calicut both run on IST — so your scheduled arrival time is straightforward to plan. The IXZ leg flies east over open sea; window seats on the starboard (right) side offer glimpses of the Andaman chain during descent.
IndiGo domestic fares for both legs include 15 kg checked baggage in standard economy; Air India domestic bundles 25 kg. Because this is two separate domestic sectors, baggage must be rechecked at MAA or BLR if your tickets are on separate bookings — allow ample connection time. As of June 2026, combined indicative fares for CCJ–IXZ range from ≈ ₹7,000–₹18,000 one-way depending on season and advance purchase. The October–February peak and May–June holidays see the highest prices; March–April and August–September offer the best value. Compare connecting-flight prices vs. a direct DEL or BOM booking if you are flexible on routing.
Calicut International Airport (Karipur, CCJ) sits ≈ 28 km south of Kozhikode city — allow 60–90 minutes from the city centre at peak morning hours. The terminal handles both domestic and international services from a single pier. Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair is a small but recently modernised facility ≈ 2 km from the city centre — one of the closest airport–city distances in India. Auto-rickshaws and pre-paid taxis meet arrivals. The airport has a single terminal; domestic arrivals and departures are compact and efficient, though peak-season queues at check-in can be long.
The Andaman and Nicobar Islands are Indian territory — no foreign visa is required for Indian citizens, and a government photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence or passport) is sufficient to fly. Foreign nationals (non-Indians) do require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) — available on arrival at IXZ. Indian citizens can access most of the Andaman Islands freely; however, Nicobar Islands and some protected tribal areas require a separate permit obtainable from the Port Blair administration. DigiYatra is not yet active at IXZ — carry your physical ID for boarding at CCJ and your connecting hub.
No — there is no non-stop service. The standard routing is via Chennai (MAA) or Bangalore (BLR), with total travel time ≈ 5–6 hours including the layover.
Chennai (MAA) offers more IXZ-bound daily departures and a slightly shorter feeder leg (≈ 1h vs. ≈ 1h 10m from BLR). Both work; choose based on connection times and fare availability.
Combined fares typically range ≈ ₹7,000–₹18,000 one-way. October–February and May–June are the most expensive; March–April and August–September offer lower fares.
Indian citizens only need a government photo ID — no special permit. Access to the Nicobar Islands and tribal-protected areas requires a separate Restricted Area Permit from Port Blair authorities.
Approximately 5–6 hours total (≈ 1h CCJ–MAA + 2–3h layover + ≈ 2h MAA–IXZ). Via Bangalore, elapsed time is similar.
October–February is peak tourist season (best sea conditions). March–April offers a good balance of weather and lower fares. Avoid July–September if sea-based activities are a priority.

There is currently no non-stop service between Calicut and Port Blair — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 3h 30m–5h (1-stop via Chennai or Bangalore; no direct service). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Calicut Port Blair ticket but are open to a layover.
Expect Calicut–Port Blair fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service IndiGo (CCJ–MAA or CCJ–BLR) + IndiGo / Air India (MAA–IXZ or BLR–IXZ) ticket once you add a bag and a seat. FlightGPT shows the all-in price for each option, so you're comparing like for like rather than misleading lead-in fares.
