No airline flies Mangalore to Port Blair non-stop, so all trips connect — IndiGo offers the most options via Chennai, Bengaluru or Kolkata, with Air India and Akasa Air on selected hubs. Chennai and Kolkata are the principal mainland gateways to the Andamans and usually give the smoothest island leg (≈ 2h). Because Port Blair flights operate in daylight, an early Mangalore departure that connects to a same-day island flight is essential to avoid an overnight at the hub.
Port Blair is busiest October–May, the dry diving-and-beach season, with sharp spikes over Christmas–New Year and school holidays. The cheapest months are typically the monsoon (June–September), when seas are rough and tourist demand drops. As this is a connecting trip to a high-demand island, book ≈ 6–10 weeks ahead for peak dates; shoulder weeks are far cheaper. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026.
Plan ≈ 6–9h door-to-door including one stop. There is no direct flight; realistic hubs are Chennai (MAA), Bengaluru (BLR) and Kolkata (CCU). The Mangalore→hub leg runs ≈ 1–2.5h and the hub→Port Blair leg ≈ 2h over the Bay of Bengal. Since island flights are daytime-only and limited in number, choose a morning connection with a comfortable buffer — a missed island leg often means waiting until the next day.
Domestic checked baggage is typically 15 kg on IndiGo/Akasa low-cost fares and 25 kg on Air India, plus ≈ 7 kg cabin; LCCs charge for extra bags. On one through-ticket your luggage is normally checked to Port Blair — confirm at Mangalore, particularly across different carriers. Note island infrastructure is limited, so travel light. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026; Andaman fares move sharply with season and holiday demand.
You depart Mangalore International Airport (IXE) at Bajpe, ≈ 13 km from the city, single terminal. At the hub, confirm the terminal on your ticket — Chennai's domestic terminal, Bengaluru T1/T2 by airline, Kolkata's integrated terminal. You land at Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), ≈ 2–4 km from central Port Blair, very close to town. Onward ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) leave from the city jetty.
No visa is required — Mangalore to Port Blair is a domestic flight, so a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID) suffices for Indian passengers at both ends. DigiYatra is available at participating airports. Indian nationals do not need a permit for the main Andaman tourist areas, but some tribal reserves and the Nicobar Islands are restricted — keep ID handy and check local rules for any onward island travel.
