Mumbai (BOM) to Port Blair (IXZ) is served non-stop by IndiGo, Air India and Akasa Air. Between them they run around three to five non-stop departures on a typical day, with frequencies rising in the October–April island season and thinning during the monsoon.
If a non-stop is sold out or pricey, every carrier also offers 1-stop itineraries via Chennai (MAA) or Bengaluru (BLR) — useful for flexibility, though they roughly double your travel time. Note that Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore older listings naming them.
The non-stop hop covers roughly 2,280 km across the Bay of Bengal in about 3h 25m. Because the Andamans sit well out to sea, this is one of the longer domestic sectors from Mumbai. There is no time change — the islands run on Indian Standard Time like the mainland, even though the sun rises noticeably earlier out east.
One-stop routings via Chennai or Bengaluru add a connection and a layover, pushing total journey time to roughly 7–10 hours depending on the wait.
Port Blair is a leisure route, so fares track the island tourist calendar more than the working week. Demand and prices peak around the dry season and holidays; the monsoon is the cheapest window but weather can disrupt schedules.
| Period | Demand | Fare pattern |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak season) | High | Dearest; book 4–8 weeks out |
| Mar–Apr | Moderate–High | Still firm, eases late April |
| May–Sep (monsoon) | Low–Moderate | Cheapest; watch for delays |
| Diwali / Christmas / New Year | Very high | Surge pricing — book early |
As a rule, booking three to six weeks ahead lands a sensible fare on this long sector; last-minute seats are rarely cheap.
Practical levers that actually help:
We never quote a guaranteed price — fares move constantly — but comparing dates and carriers is where the real saving sits.
Most Mumbai–Port Blair non-stops leave in the morning to early afternoon, which suits this route: it lands you in Port Blair with daylight to clear the airport, reach your hotel and (if needed) arrange onward boat tickets to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Early departures also give a buffer if weather forces a hold.
If you are connecting onward to the islands by ferry, aim to arrive by early afternoon so you are not chasing the last sailing.
Holidaymakers / families: Book the non-stop and travel in the dry season for reliable weather; carry a printed hotel booking, as island accommodation proof is sometimes asked for.
Business / official travel: Rare on this leisure route, but a morning non-stop gets you a usable afternoon. Build slack for occasional weather holds.
Students / budget travellers: The monsoon shoulder offers the lowest fares, but accept that delays are more likely. Cabin-only fares plus a single checked bag usually keep costs down.
In Mumbai, Air India departs from Terminal 2 (T2), while IndiGo and Akasa Air typically use Terminal 1 (T1). Always reconfirm on your ticket, as Mumbai occasionally moves flights between terminals.
Port Blair is served by Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), whose modern integrated terminal (opened 2023) now handles all flights through a single building. It is a compact airport about 4 km from the town centre.
In Mumbai, allow generous time — traffic to both terminals can be heavy, and the airport is busy. The metro, app cabs and the airport's own pick-up zones all serve T1 and T2.
At Port Blair, the airport is only a short drive (about 10–15 minutes) from the town centre and Aberdeen Bazaar. Pre-paid taxis and hotel transfers are the easiest options; auto-rickshaws are available but limited. If you are heading to Havelock or Neil, your ferry departs from the Port Blair jetty, not the airport, so plan the transfer.
Standard domestic rules apply. IndiGo's saver fares usually include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin; Air India and Akasa are broadly similar, though exact limits depend on the fare you buy. Always check your specific fare before flying. For full, current figures see IndiGo baggage.
On this long sector, scuba and water-sports travellers should weigh kit carefully — pay for extra allowance online in advance rather than at the airport, where excess is dearer.
The Andamans are best visited October to May, when seas are calm and skies clear; the southwest monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and rough crossings. Indian nationals do not need a permit for the main islands (Port Blair, Havelock, Neil), but restricted-area rules apply to certain tribal and outlying islands, so check before planning offbeat trips.
Mobile and internet connectivity on the islands can be patchy — download maps and ferry tickets in advance. Carry a valid government photo ID for the domestic flight.
On the Mumbai–Port Blair sector the non-stop is frequently within striking distance of a 1-stop fare while saving you half a day. Use FlightGPT to line up IndiGo, Air India and Akasa side by side, flex your date by a day, and you will usually find the non-stop is the smart buy — both on price and on landing you in the islands with daylight to spare for your ferry.
Yes. IndiGo, Air India and Akasa Air all operate non-stop flights, with roughly three to five departures on a typical day. Frequencies are higher in the October–April island season.
The non-stop takes about 3h 25m, covering roughly 2,280 km across the Bay of Bengal. One-stop itineraries via Chennai or Bengaluru take 7–10 hours.
No. The Andaman Islands run on Indian Standard Time, the same as the mainland, so there is no clock change — although sunrise and sunset are noticeably earlier out east.
No permit is needed for the main islands — Port Blair, Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Some restricted, tribal and outlying islands do require permits, so check before planning offbeat trips. Carry a valid government photo ID.
The monsoon months (roughly May–September) are usually the cheapest, but weather can disrupt flights and ferries. The October–February peak season is the dearest. Booking three to six weeks ahead generally lands a sensible fare.
Air India departs from Terminal 2 (T2); IndiGo and Akasa Air typically use Terminal 1 (T1). Always reconfirm the terminal printed on your ticket.
Typically 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on saver fares, though it depends on the exact fare and airline. See the carrier's baggage page for current limits before you fly.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or a free alternative. Refund timelines and rules for passenger-initiated cancellations depend on your fare type.
Web check-in typically opens 48 hours before departure for IndiGo, Air India and Akasa and closes around 1–2 hours before. Completing it online saves time at the busy Mumbai airport.
Air India permits pets in cabin or hold on many domestic flights subject to conditions and advance booking; IndiGo and Akasa have their own policies and restrictions. On this long sea sector, confirm directly with the airline well ahead.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fare. Carry the infant's age proof, and pack essentials in your cabin bag given the longer flight time.
The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and rough seas, so ferries to Havelock and Neil can be cancelled. If you go in monsoon, keep your plans flexible and build buffer days.
Both work. Booking direct can simplify changes and refunds; comparison platforms like FlightGPT let you see IndiGo, Air India and Akasa together to find the best fare and timing in one view.
Ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) depart from the Port Blair jetty, not the airport — about a 10–15 minute drive away. Aim to land by early afternoon so you can catch a same-day sailing, and book ferry tickets in advance.
Weather over the Bay of Bengal can cause occasional holds and delays, especially in the monsoon. Morning departures give the best buffer, and it is wise not to plan tight onward connections on arrival day.
