There is no non-stop flight between Coimbatore (CJB) and Port Blair (IXZ). The Andamans are reached almost entirely through a handful of mainland gateways, so from Coimbatore every itinerary connects through a hub.
IndiGo carries most of this traffic, routed most often via Chennai (MAA) — the closest gateway with frequent Andaman flights — and sometimes via Hyderabad. Air India and Akasa Air also appear on some 1-stop fares, typically on the Chennai or Bengaluru sectors.
Disregard older schedules naming Go First, Jet Airways or Vistara: Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Coimbatore and Port Blair are roughly 2,100 km apart across the Bay of Bengal. With no direct flight, the quickest Chennai connection runs about 4h 25m; with a longer layover or a Hyderabad routing, the journey can stretch to 7 hours or more door-to-door.
The pattern is a short hop to the hub (under an hour to Chennai), then a roughly 2h 15m flight east to the islands. Port Blair operates daylight-only, so all Andaman flights are timed for the morning and early afternoon — that constrains your connection, and you'll almost always travel in the first half of the day.
The Andamans are a strong leisure destination, so fares swing with the holiday calendar as much as with how early you book.
| Period | Demand | Fare pressure |
|---|---|---|
| Dec–Jan (peak Andaman season, holidays) | High | Higher — book well ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer holidays) | Moderate–High | Moderate |
| Oct–Nov, Feb–Mar (shoulder, pleasant seas) | Moderate | Easier — good value |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon, rough seas) | Lower | Usually cheapest |
Because Port Blair has limited daylight slots and seats sell to holidaymakers, book four to six weeks ahead for the December–January peak.
On this 1-stop island route:
You have little choice here: because Port Blair runs daylight-only operations, the final leg into IXZ departs in the morning or early afternoon. That means an early start from Coimbatore to make a sensible Chennai connection and land in the islands with the afternoon ahead.
An early departure is also the safest against delays — if your first leg slips and you miss the once-or-twice-daily Andaman flight, the next option may not be until the following day. Don't book the tightest connection on this route.
Holidaymakers (most travellers here): build the journey around the daylight Andaman slot, allow a generous hub layover, and don't plan a strenuous arrival-day activity — you'll land in the afternoon after an early start.
Families: keep IDs, snacks and any motion-sickness remedies handy for the onward ferries to Havelock and Neil, and pick a comfortable layover over the cheapest tight one.
Budget travellers: the lowest fares come in the shoulder and monsoon months with a longer layover; compare every hub and airline before booking.
Coimbatore — Coimbatore International (CJB): a single-terminal airport handling all flights, easy to clear. Arrive about 2 hours before departure.
Port Blair — Veer Savarkar International (IXZ): a single, modern integrated terminal (opened 2023) with a distinctive sea-shell roof. It operates daylight-only, so schedules are tight and concentrated in the first half of the day. The airport sits very close to the town.
At Coimbatore: the airport is about 10–12 km from the city centre, easily reached by app cabs, autos and prepaid taxis.
At Port Blair: Veer Savarkar International is only about 3–4 km from the town centre, so taxis reach the centre quickly. Many island resorts and the jetty for Havelock and Neil ferries are a short drive away — arrange airport pickup and your ferry tickets in advance, as both can be busy in peak season.
Your allowance follows the operating airline and fare. IndiGo's lowest fares include cabin baggage (about 7 kg) only, with check-in bags charged separately; Akasa and Air India tier baggage by fare too. Higher fares add a free check-in allowance.
Check the figures before paying — see IndiGo baggage rules for current limits. On a single connecting ticket, checked bags are normally tagged through to Port Blair, so you collect them only at IXZ.
The Andamans are best from October to May, with calm seas ideal for ferries and water sports; December–January is the peak. The south-west monsoon (roughly May/June–September) brings heavy rain and rough seas that can disrupt both flights and inter-island ferries, so leisure travellers usually avoid it.
Carry a printout or screenshot of your tickets and ID — connectivity on the islands can be patchy. And remember the daylight-only constraint: there's no late-evening flight to fall back on if your day goes sideways, so keep your connection comfortable.
Port Blair's daylight-only slots are the planning constraint, not the fare. Lock in an early Coimbatore departure and a Chennai connection with a comfortable layover — a tight connection that fails could cost you a whole day, since the next Andaman flight may not be until tomorrow. Book it on one ticket and compare IndiGo, Air India and Akasa before you pay.
No. There is no non-stop service. Every itinerary connects through a mainland gateway — most often Chennai, sometimes Hyderabad — with a total travel time of roughly 4.5 to 7 hours.
The quickest Chennai connections run about 4h 25m; with a longer layover or a different hub, the journey can take 7 hours or more door-to-door including the stop.
IndiGo carries most of the traffic on connecting fares, usually via Chennai. Air India and Akasa Air also appear on some 1-stop itineraries. Go First, Jet Airways and standalone Vistara flights no longer operate.
Port Blair airport operates daylight-only, so every Andaman flight is timed for the first half of the day. That constrains your connection — you'll almost always travel in the morning and land in the afternoon.
Shoulder-season (October–November, February–March) and monsoon dates are cheapest, with midweek departures softer than weekends. For the December–January peak, book four to six weeks ahead.
Yes. Under DGCA rules you are entitled to a full refund or free re-accommodation on an alternative flight if the airline cancels. On a single connecting ticket, the airline must protect the rest of your journey if the first leg is cancelled or heavily delayed.
It depends on the operating airline and fare. IndiGo, Akasa and Air India include cabin baggage of about 7 kg on the lowest fares, with check-in bags charged separately; higher fares add a free allowance. A beach trip usually warrants a checked-bag fare.
Yes, when the journey is on one ticket. You can usually check in online for both flights and have your bags tagged through to Port Blair. On separate tickets you may need to re-check at the hub.
It can. The south-west monsoon brings heavy rain and rough seas to the Andamans from around May/June to September, occasionally disrupting flights and inter-island ferries. Most leisure travellers avoid this window.
Indian nationals do not need a permit for the main Andaman islands and travel on a domestic ticket with a valid government photo ID. Some areas have separate rules, and foreign nationals face additional requirements, so check current regulations before you go.
Pet acceptance depends on the airline and needs advance arrangement, a suitable crate and documentation. Not every flight accepts animals, so contact the carrier well before travel.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare. Carry age proof and pack feeds and essentials in your cabin bag for the early start and onward island transfers.
Take a short taxi from the airport to the jetty and a ferry onward. Ferries run mainly in daylight and sell out in peak season, so book them in advance and don't assume same-day onward travel after a late-afternoon landing.
