There is no non-stop flight between Dehradun (DED) and Port Blair — now officially Sri Vijaya Puram — at IXZ. The two are about 2,900 km apart at opposite corners of the country, so every itinerary involves one or two stops. The cleanest routings connect through Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai, with IndiGo and Air India the main carriers.
The classic build is Dehradun–Delhi, then Delhi (or onward Kolkata/Chennai)–Port Blair. Kolkata and Chennai are the natural last-leg hubs for the Andamans, so a routing that ends with one of them is usually the most efficient. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct; Vistara has merged into Air India.
Covering roughly 2,900 km with at least one change, plan on 8 to 13 hours end to end depending on your connection. A tight single-stop via Kolkata can be the quickest; a two-stop via Delhi then Chennai or Kolkata is cheaper but longer. Both ends are on IST, so there is no time change — but note that Port Blair flights operate only in daylight hours, which limits the late-leg options.
Andaman demand is sharply seasonal. The table is a qualitative demand guide, not a fare quote.
| Season | Months | Demand & fares |
|---|---|---|
| Peak | Oct–Feb | High — best weather, dearest fares |
| Shoulder | Mar–Apr | Moderate — warm but still pleasant |
| Monsoon/low | May–Sep | Lower fares, rough seas, ferry disruption |
For an October–February trip, book 6–10 weeks ahead. This is a long connecting route, so early booking matters more than on a simple non-stop.
On a multi-stop route the savings come from flexibility:
Because Port Blair operates daylight-only, the inbound leg to IXZ is typically a morning or midday arrival. Aim to start early from Dehradun so your connection lands you in Port Blair with the afternoon still ahead — useful if you need to catch a ferry onward to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep) the same day.
Families and honeymooners dominate this route; pick the routing with the shortest total time even if it costs a little more, as small children tire on long connecting days. Budget travellers can save with a two-stop routing or a self-connect, but build in a generous buffer at the connecting hub. Business travel here is uncommon; if needed, an overnight at the connecting city before the morning Port Blair leg is the most dependable plan.
Dehradun — Jolly Grant Airport (DED): a single-terminal airport about 25 km from the city. Port Blair — Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ): a single-terminal airport roughly 2–4 km from the town centre, serving Sri Vijaya Puram and the wider Andaman and Nicobar Islands. It is compact, so transfers are quick, but flights are daylight-only.
Jolly Grant is a 45–60 minute drive from central Dehradun; allow margin on the hill roads. At Port Blair, taxis and auto-rickshaws wait outside arrivals for the short hop into town or to Phoenix Bay jetty for island ferries. If your hotel or tour is on Havelock or Neil, confirm the ferry timing before you fly, since the last sailing often leaves in the early afternoon.
Domestic economy fares usually include 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag, varying by fare type. See IndiGo baggage for specifics. On a long connecting itinerary check that your bags are tagged through to Port Blair, and keep swimwear, medication and a change of clothes in your cabin bag in case a bag is delayed at a hub.
The Andamans are best from October to April, with calm seas and reliable ferries. The May–September monsoon brings rough seas and occasional ferry cancellations even when flights operate. There is no special permit for Indian citizens to visit Port Blair, Havelock or Neil, though some tribal and outlying areas remain restricted. Carry reef-safe sunscreen, and remember that mobile connectivity on the outer islands is patchy.
Let the search pick a Kolkata or Chennai final leg rather than forcing the whole trip through Delhi — it is usually both quicker and cheaper into Port Blair. Then start as early as you can from Dehradun so you land with the afternoon free for the onward island ferry.
No. There are no non-stop flights. Every itinerary involves one or two stops, typically via Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai.
Plan on 8 to 13 hours end to end depending on the routing and layover. A single-stop via Kolkata is usually quickest; a two-stop via Delhi is cheaper but longer.
IndiGo and Air India are the main carriers, on connecting itineraries. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Port Blair was renamed Sri Vijaya Puram in 2024. The airport remains Veer Savarkar International Airport, IATA code IXZ.
Indian citizens do not need a permit for Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Some tribal and outlying areas are restricted, and foreign nationals should check current rules.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels you are due a full refund or an alternative flight. On a single through-ticket the airline must re-accommodate you; on self-connected separate tickets you carry that risk yourself.
October to April, when seas are calm and ferries reliable. Avoid the May–September monsoon if beaches and boat trips matter to you.
Veer Savarkar Airport operates daylight hours only, so late-evening and overnight arrivals are not available. Plan your connection to land in the morning or early afternoon.
Typically 15 kg checked and one 7 kg cabin bag on domestic economy, varying by fare. See IndiGo baggage for details, and check your bags are tagged through to IXZ.
Yes, for each carrier's flights. If your legs are on separate tickets you may need to check in and re-clear bags at the connecting hub.
Often yes, but the last ferry to Havelock or Neil usually leaves in the early afternoon. Confirm timings before you fly and aim to land by midday.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap fare with no separate seat. Carry age proof. A long connecting day is tiring, so pick the shortest routing.
Some carriers permit small pets with advance booking and paperwork, but a multi-stop island route adds complications. Confirm with every carrier on your itinerary.
A single through-ticket protects your connections if a flight is late. Separate tickets can be cheaper but leave you responsible for any missed connection, so leave a generous buffer.
