There is no non-stop flight between Indore (IDR) and Port Blair (IXZ), and there never has been — Port Blair is served only from a handful of mainland hubs. Every Indore itinerary involves at least one stop, and often two. The cleanest single-change routings go via Chennai or Kolkata, the two biggest gateways to the Andamans; Hyderabad and Bengaluru also appear on some itineraries.
Because Port Blair's airport has operating-hour restrictions, almost all flights to the islands depart the mainland in the morning. That shapes your whole itinerary: you generally need an early connection so you reach the Andaman gateway in time for the onward flight.
IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express operate most of the mainland-to-Port Blair flying, with the bulk of capacity out of Chennai and Kolkata. From Indore, you will typically be on IndiGo end to end, or on Air India/Air India Express, connecting at a southern or eastern hub. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, so ignore any old listings showing them. Confirm the operating carrier on each leg when you book.
Indore to Port Blair is about 2,360 km as the crow flies, but you fly considerably further because you route via a coastal hub. Expect 6 to 11 hours total depending on whether you take a one-stop or two-stop itinerary and how long the layovers are. The fastest realistic options are a single change at Chennai or Kolkata with a tight, well-timed connection; two-stop itineraries are cheaper but long. Both ends are on IST, so no time-zone adjustment applies.
Andaman demand is strongly seasonal, and Port Blair has limited capacity, so booking early matters more here than on most routes. Aim for four to eight weeks ahead in peak season.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (peak island season) | Very high | Book 6–8 weeks ahead; fares and hotels both spike |
| Dec–Jan (holidays) | Highest | Book well in advance; flights sell out |
| Apr–May | Moderate | Hotter but cheaper; good value |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Low | Cheapest, but rough seas can disrupt island ferries |

Good news for domestic travellers: Indian citizens do not need any permit to visit Port Blair and most popular islands such as Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep). You only need a valid government photo ID to fly and to check in to hotels. Foreign nationals no longer need the old Restricted Area Permit (RAP) for the main inhabited islands following the Ministry of Home Affairs relaxation, though passport and visa checks continue on arrival, and citizens of a few specified countries still need prior permission. Certain tribal-reserve and Nicobar areas remain off-limits to all tourists.
Book early — this is the single biggest lever on Andaman fares, which climb steeply as the islands fill in season. Compare one-stop against two-stop itineraries; the two-stop is sometimes dramatically cheaper if you have the time. Travel in the April–May shoulder season for lower fares and fewer crowds. And always buy a single through-ticket so a delayed first leg does not cost you the morning Port Blair connection — missing it can mean losing a whole day on the islands.
Families and honeymooners: book early in peak season and choose itineraries with comfortable layovers so a delay does not break the Port Blair leg. Divers and adventure travellers: factor in onward ferry times to Havelock when picking your arrival flight, and avoid the roughest monsoon weeks. Students and budget flyers: the April–May shoulder and two-stop itineraries offer real savings, but build in buffer time and travel light.
Indore's Devi Ahilya Bai Holkar Airport (IDR) operates from a single terminal, so departure is simple. Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) also has one terminal. From the airport, central Port Blair is only a short drive. To reach Havelock or Neil, you take a government or private ferry from Port Blair's jetty — book ferries in advance in peak season, as they sell out and timings are tied to daylight and sea conditions.
Standard domestic limits apply on each leg — roughly 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on basic IndiGo fares, with Air India often similar by fare type. On a single through-ticket your bags are usually checked to Port Blair. Divers should note dive operators in Havelock provide gear, so you rarely need to carry heavy kit; if you do, check excess-baggage rates in advance. See IndiGo baggage for current allowances.
The Andamans are best from October to May, with the clearest seas and calmest weather; December–January is peak holiday season. The monsoon from June to September brings heavy rain and rough seas that can cancel inter-island ferries, so it is the cheapest but least reliable window. Pack reef-safe sunscreen, light cottons, and cash, as ATMs on the smaller islands are limited and mobile connectivity is patchy outside Port Blair.
The make-or-break factor on this route is reaching your Andaman gateway in time for the morning Port Blair flight. Use FlightGPT to find an itinerary with a comfortable hub layover, book it as one ticket, and lock in your ferries to Havelock or Neil as soon as your flights are confirmed.
