Both Delhi (DEL) and Kolkata (CCU) offer solid onward connections to Port Blair (IXZ). The Delhi routing (IXJ–DEL ≈ 1h 30m, then DEL–IXZ ≈ 2h 30m) is well-suited for travellers who get a morning IXJ–DEL departure and a midday DEL–IXZ flight — the total elapsed time including a 2-hour layover is roughly 6–7 hours. Kolkata routing (IXJ–CCU ≈ 2h 30m, then CCU–IXZ ≈ 2h 10m) can work well but requires either a non-stop IXJ–CCU (limited) or a DEL transit anyway. IndiGo dominates both hubs for frequency. For most Jammu travellers, Delhi is the more natural and frequent option.
Combined fares on the IXJ–IXZ routing as of June 2026 range from ₹8,000–₹18,000 one-way depending on season and advance booking. Port Blair is a perennial bucket-list destination, so demand is largely consistent year-round with notable spikes during December–January (peak winter tourist season), Diwali–Holi holiday blocks, and the April–May summer break. The best fares surface in August–September (monsoon off-peak for Andamans) and February–March. One-way fares below ₹9,000 from Jammu to Port Blair are occasionally available with 8+ weeks booking lead time.
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair is the gateway to the Andaman archipelago. It operates from a single domestic-capable terminal; the modest size means arrivals clear quickly. Taxis and autos connect to Port Blair town (≈ 3–5 km). The Andaman & Nicobar Islands are an Indian Union Territory — no visa or permit is required for Indian nationals visiting the main tourist islands. However, foreign nationals require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), available on arrival for most nationalities. Certain remote islands beyond Port Blair have additional restricted zones even for Indians.
Port Blair itself has the Cellular Jail museum (Kala Pani), Corbyn's Cove beach, and the Anthropological Museum. From Port Blair, government and private ferries connect to Havelock Island (Swaraj Dweep) — home to Radhanagar Beach, ranked among Asia's best — and Neil Island (Shaheed Dweep). Ferry journey time to Havelock is ≈ 1.5–2.5 hours on the fast ferry. The Andamans are at their most beautiful from October to April; May–September is monsoon season with rough seas and limited ferry operations. Book ferry tickets in advance via the Andaman government portal during peak months.
This is a domestic route — no passport or visa is needed. Carry a valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence). Jammu Airport (IXJ) operates under enhanced security given its status as a joint civil-military airfield — arrive at least 2 hours before departure. All hand luggage undergoes dual X-ray screening; power banks must be in carry-on and declared. At Port Blair end, Indian nationals simply need the same domestic ID. DigiYatra is supported at both ends but Jammu's implementation is less mature — carry a physical or digital boarding pass as backup.
Given the likely beach and diving activity at the Andamans, many travellers carry significant gear. IndiGo Economy includes 15 kg checked and 7 kg carry-on; Air India Economy also includes 15 kg. Extra baggage costs ₹500–₹1,200 per kg at the airport versus pre-booked rates — always add extra kilos at checkout. If you plan to snorkel or dive, consider renting gear in Port Blair or Havelock to save on baggage. Dive tanks and compressed gas cylinders are prohibited on all commercial flights — scuba divers must source compressed air from local dive shops. As of June 2026, IndiGo's pre-booked extra baggage at ₹350–₹700 per kg is the most economical option on both sectors.
No — the route is exclusively 1-stop, most commonly via Delhi (total ≈ 6–7h with a 2h layover) or occasionally via Kolkata.
IndiGo and Air India are the main carriers on both the Jammu feeder and the onward Port Blair leg. SpiceJet occasionally appears on the Delhi–Port Blair sector.
Combined one-way fares are ≈ ₹8,000–₹18,000 as of June 2026. December–January peak season and summer holidays push prices toward the upper end.
Indian nationals need only a standard government photo ID — no special Andaman permit is required for main tourist islands (Port Blair, Havelock, Neil).
October to April is ideal for the Andamans — calm seas, good visibility for snorkelling/diving. Monsoon (May–September) brings rough seas and limited ferry services.
IndiGo and Air India Economy each allow 15 kg checked + 7 kg carry-on. Pre-purchase extra kilos online — IndiGo airport surcharges are ₹500–₹1,200 per extra kg.
