Delhi to Port Blair is a long sector to a remote island, so options are a mix of a few non-stops and many connections. IndiGo carries the largest share of seats on the route, followed by Air India; Air India Express and Akasa Air also feed connecting traffic. Direct non-stops do operate but are limited and can be seasonal, so check live availability for your dates.
Most itineraries connect through Chennai (MAA) or Kolkata (CCU), with Chennai generally offering more onward frequencies to Port Blair. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India — disregard any old listings for them.
The air distance is about 2,470 km. A non-stop, when available, takes roughly 3h 40m to 3h 55m. A one-stop connection via Chennai or Kolkata typically runs 6–8 hours in total including the layover. Chennai is the more popular hub because it has more daily flights onward to Port Blair than Kolkata, but Kolkata can be a shorter overall routing on the right schedule.
The Andamans' peak season is the dry October–May window, with the busiest spell around the winter holidays. Monsoon (roughly June–September) brings rough seas and more rain, fewer tourists and softer fares — but also a higher chance of weather disruption. Book non-stops and peak-season connections well ahead, as this is a single-airport island with finite seats.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Dec–Jan (winter peak) | Very High | Holiday rush; book weeks ahead, fares highest |
| Oct–May (dry season) | High | Best weather and seas; firm fares |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Low | Rough seas, more rain; cheapest seats but disruption risk |
This is an expensive, long route, so plan ahead:
For non-stops or early connections, an early-morning Delhi departure gets you to Port Blair the same day with daylight to spare for the ferry to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or onward transfers. Because inter-island ferries run mostly in daylight and finish early, arriving in Port Blair by mid-afternoon is important if you plan to move on the same day. Avoid late arrivals if a same-day ferry is part of your plan.
Families and holidaymakers: Prioritise an early arrival into Port Blair so you can catch a daytime ferry onward. Book the whole journey on a single through-fare to avoid missed-connection risk.
Business: Direct non-stops, when running, save hours over a connection — worth paying for if your schedule is tight.
Students and budget travellers: Shoulder-season connections via Chennai are usually the cheapest. Accept a longer travel day in exchange for a lower fare, and keep some buffer in your itinerary.
Delhi (DEL): Indira Gandhi International. IndiGo and Akasa operate from Terminal 1; Air India uses Terminal 3. Check your carrier's terminal carefully — they are far apart and a terminal mix-up can cost you the flight.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International Airport has a single, modern integrated terminal opened in 2023. It handles all flights and sits close to Port Blair town.
Chennai (MAA) is the most common hub, with the highest number of onward flights to Port Blair and generally good connection timings. Kolkata (CCU) is the next option and can give a shorter overall routing on some schedules. When comparing, weigh the total travel time and layover length, not just the headline fare — a cheap connection with an 8-hour wait may not be worth it.
Indian nationals do not need a permit to visit the main Andaman tourist areas including Port Blair and Havelock, but a Restricted Area Permit applies to some tribal and far-flung islands; foreign nationals face additional rules. Carry valid government photo ID for the flight. Baggage is typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin in domestic economy, varying by fare — see IndiGo baggage, Air India baggage and Akasa Air baggage.
The Andamans are tropical and humid year-round. October to May is the dry, calm-sea season ideal for diving, snorkelling and beaches. The monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and choppy crossings that can disrupt ferries and occasionally flights. Internet and mobile connectivity on the islands can be patchy, so download bookings and ferry tickets in advance. Carry cash, as card and online payments are not always reliable outside Port Blair.
On this route the single biggest factor is your arrival time, not the fare — aim to land in Port Blair by early afternoon so you can take a daytime ferry onward. Book the whole trip on one through-fare, compare Chennai versus Kolkata connections, and reserve weeks ahead for any winter-holiday travel.
