Yes — IndiGo operates the non-stop on Hyderabad (HYD) to Port Blair (IXZ), typically one morning departure a day. Because Veer Savarkar airport works in daylight only, the non-stop leaves early and lands by early afternoon.
Beyond that single non-stop, most Hyderabad–Andaman traffic flows through one-stop routings. If the morning non-stop is full or pricey, a connection is the usual fallback — see the next section.
For 2026, ignore any listing showing Go First, Jet Airways or standalone Vistara; none operate, and Vistara is now part of Air India.
When the non-stop doesn't suit, the most common one-stop hubs are Chennai and Bengaluru, both of which have frequent onward flights to Port Blair. IndiGo and Air India both offer such connections.
Chennai is the busiest gateway to the Andamans with the most onward frequencies, so a HYD–MAA–IXZ routing often has the widest choice. Aim for a connection that still puts you into Port Blair by early afternoon, since the last arrivals are daylight-limited.
Book connecting legs on a single ticket where possible — if a delay causes you to miss the onward flight, a through-ticket protects you; two separate tickets do not.
The air distance is about 1,520 km. The non-stop covers it in roughly 2h 30m. One-stop itineraries vary widely with layover length — typically 4h 30m to 8h total — so the morning non-stop is by far the quickest way across.
Remember Port Blair has no night operations, so even connections must be timed to arrive in daylight. Plan your full day around a daytime landing.
The Andamans peak in the dry season and around holidays, when both demand and fares climb. The single non-stop fills quickly, so early booking matters more here than on high-frequency routes.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak, dry) | Very high | Best weather; non-stop sells out early |
| Mar–May (warm shoulder) | Medium–High | Hot but clear; still good for diving |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest; rain and rougher seas |
| Dec holidays & long weekends | Peak | Book weeks ahead; fares spike sharply |

To keep the cost down on this island route:
FlightGPT compares the non-stop and connecting options side by side so you can weigh price against travel time and book direct.
Business travellers: Limited frequencies mean less flexibility — book the morning non-stop early and keep your return open if plans are fluid. There's little margin to rebook same-day if you miss a flight.
Families and holidaymakers: The non-stop is gentler than a long connection with children. Book well ahead for school-holiday windows, and pre-arrange Port Blair transfers since the island gets busy in season.
Students and budget travellers: The monsoon shoulder is the cheapest window, and a one-stop via Chennai can save money if you don't mind a longer day. Watch IndiGo sales and travel cabin-bag-only.
Hyderabad (HYD): Rajiv Gandhi International has a single large integrated terminal for all flights — modern, efficient and easy to navigate. Allow time at security in peak hours.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International has a single terminal with a striking shell-shaped roof, sitting just ~2 km from town. It's a defence-shared airfield, so photography is restricted and operations are daylight only. On arrival, all visitors complete a quick tourist registration.
In Hyderabad: RGIA is about 24 km south of the city at Shamshabad. The airport metro/expressway, app-cabs and prepaid taxis all serve it; allow 45–75 minutes from the city in traffic, and more for an early non-stop.
In Port Blair: the airport is barely 2 km from the town centre, so transfers are quick — autos, taxis and hotel pickups reach most accommodation in 10–15 minutes. Arrange onward ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) in advance, as the popular sailings sell out in season.
Domestic economy typically allows 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin baggage, varying by airline and fare. See IndiGo baggage for a representative example. If you're carrying diving or snorkelling gear, check sizing and weight rules and buy any extra allowance online in advance.
For the flight you only need a government photo ID — it's a domestic sector and no permit is required for Indian citizens to visit the main Andaman islands (some tribal and restricted areas remain off-limits). All visitors complete a brief tourist registration on arrival at Port Blair, so carry ID and a couple of photocopies.
Foreign nationals have separate rules and may need a permit/registration for certain islands. Connectivity on the islands is limited and weather can disrupt inter-island ferries, so keep buffer time and download offline maps before you fly.
Treat the morning non-stop as a scarce resource: there's usually only one a day, and Port Blair's daylight-only operations mean there's no late-evening backup. Book it weeks ahead for peak season, and if you must connect, use a single through-ticket via Chennai so a delay doesn't strand you overnight on the mainland.
Yes. IndiGo operates around one non-stop a day, in the morning, taking about 2h 30m. Other options connect via Chennai or Bengaluru.
The non-stop takes about 2h 30m. One-stop routings via Chennai or Bengaluru typically take 4h 30m to 8h depending on the layover.
Port Blair's Veer Savarkar airport operates in daylight only and the islands have limited capacity, so frequencies are tight. The non-stop is scheduled in the morning to land in daylight.
Indian citizens don't need a permit for the main islands (Port Blair, Havelock, Neil), though some tribal/restricted areas are off-limits. All visitors complete a quick tourist registration on arrival. Foreign nationals have separate rules.
October to February is the dry peak season with the best weather and calmest seas — book early as the non-stop fills fast. The monsoon (Jun–Sep) is cheapest but rainier with rougher seas.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, an airline-cancelled flight entitles you to a full refund or rebooking, plus assistance in certain cases. On a through-ticket, the airline must re-route you if a delay breaks your connection.
Domestic economy typically allows 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin, varying by airline and fare. See IndiGo baggage for a reference, and buy extra allowance online if carrying diving gear.
Usually from 48 hours up to 1–2 hours before departure. Online check-in lets you pick seats and saves time at the airport — useful for an early non-stop from Hyderabad.
The non-stop is fastest and gentlest, especially with family, but sells out early. A one-stop via Chennai can be cheaper or more available — just allow for the longer day and a single through-ticket.
Yes. June–September brings heavy rain and rough seas, which can delay flights and inter-island ferries. Build in buffer time if travelling in the monsoon.
Some airlines allow pets in the cabin or hold on domestic routes subject to advance booking and fees. Policies differ and the islands have entry rules, so confirm well ahead with your airline.
Infants under 2 fly as lap infants on a small fare with no separate seat. Add the infant at booking and carry proof of age.
The airport is about 2 km from town, so transfers take 10–15 minutes by auto or taxi. Book onward ferries to Havelock and Neil in advance, as popular sailings sell out in season.
Booking direct usually makes changes and disruption handling easier — important on a low-frequency island route. FlightGPT compares non-stop and connecting fares, then sends you to book direct.
