There is no non-stop on the Port Blair–Ahmedabad corridor — the islands sit roughly 2,540 km out across the Bay of Bengal, so every itinerary connects through a mainland hub. Chennai (MAA) is the usual relay: IndiGo runs the most Port Blair departures, and Chennai has frequent onward services to Ahmedabad. Kolkata (CCU) is the alternative hub, and Air India covers both gateways.
Ignore any old listing naming Go First or Jet Airways; both are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India. Book the two legs on a single through-ticket wherever possible — that protects your baggage transfer and gives you rebooking rights if the first leg is delayed, which matters because Port Blair is weather-prone in the monsoon.
Via Chennai, the Port Blair–Chennai leg runs about 2h 10m, and the onward Chennai–Ahmedabad leg about 2h, so with a sensible 60–90 minute layover the total is roughly 5 to 6 hours. Routing via Kolkata is broadly similar, often stretching to 6–7 hours depending on the connection. Both cities are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change despite the long east-to-west hop.
Allow a comfortable transit window. Port Blair's single runway and monsoon weather mean the first leg can slip, and a tight self-connect onto a separately booked flight leaves no margin if it does.
Fares on this route track the Andaman tourism calendar more than typical domestic demand. The cool, calm-sea winter is peak; the monsoon is cheapest but disruption-prone. We do not quote specific rupee fares — confirm the live price before booking.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Nov–Feb (peak Andaman season) | Very high | Calm seas, island-hopping weather; dearest fares, book early |
| Dec–Jan | Very high | Christmas–New Year break; flights sell out weeks ahead |
| Mar–May (shoulder) | Moderate | Warm but good conditions; better value |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest fares, but frequent weather delays at Port Blair |
On a long two-leg itinerary, early booking is the biggest saver — winter seats from the islands go fast. If your dates flex, mid-week departures and shoulder-season travel cut the price. Travel cabin-only on the cheapest IndiGo fare if you can, adding a checked bag only if you need it. Compare the through-fare against booking the two legs separately on FlightGPT, but remember a single through-ticket protects your connection — usually worth a little extra. Book direct with the airline so any weather-driven change is simpler to handle.
Take the earliest sensible Port Blair departure you can. Island weather tends to build through the day, especially in the monsoon, so a morning first leg gives the connection the best chance of holding and leaves a buffer if it slips. An early start from Port Blair also lands you in Ahmedabad at a civilised hour rather than late at night. Avoid the tightest same-day connection in the monsoon months — a slightly longer layover is cheap insurance on a route this long.
Families returning from an Andaman holiday: book the return well ahead in winter, choose a through-ticket with a comfortable layover, and keep medication, valuables and a change of clothes in your cabin bag in case of a delay.
Business and government travellers: the journey is long, so build in slack and prefer a single carrier through both legs for simpler rebooking.
Budget and student travellers: the monsoon has the lowest fares but the highest disruption risk — only take it if your plans are flexible. There is no cheap last-minute seat out of the islands in peak season, so plan early.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International Airport opened a new oyster-shaped integrated terminal in 2023, a big upgrade on the old building, about 4 km from Aberdeen Bazaar. It is a single-terminal airport; arrive at least 75–90 minutes early as security queues build in peak season. (Port Blair has been officially renamed Sri Vijaya Puram, though the airport code IXZ is unchanged.)
Ahmedabad (AMD): Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport handles domestic and international flights; your inbound connection arrives at the domestic terminal, about 10 km from the city centre.
In Port Blair, the airport is only about 4 km from the centre, so a cab or shared auto to Aberdeen Bazaar takes 10–15 minutes; arrange island-hopping ferries and onward transfers separately. In Ahmedabad, the airport is around 10 km north of the centre — app cabs (Ola, Uber), autos and the city bus/BRTS network all serve it, with a 25–40 minute run depending on traffic. If you land late after a long connection, a pre-booked cab saves hassle.
On a single through-ticket, your baggage transfers across both legs. IndiGo's cheapest fares may be cabin-only (7 kg), with a checked allowance added by fare type; Air India economy typically includes a checked bag. If you are bringing back snorkelling gear, dive equipment or shell souvenirs, note that only permitted, non-endangered species may be carried — and oversized sports gear needs to be declared. Pre-pay any excess online, and check the IndiGo baggage page for current limits before you fly.
The Andamans are warm and humid year-round, with the best sea conditions from November to April and a heavy monsoon from roughly May to September that can delay flights. Ahmedabad has hot summers, a monsoon and mild winters. Note that Indian citizens do not need a permit for Port Blair and the main tourist islands (Havelock/Swaraj Dweep, Neil/Shaheed Dweep), but a Restricted Area Permit applies to certain other islands — plan your island itinerary separately from your flights. Carry a valid photo ID throughout the territory.
Because there is no non-stop, the smart move is a single through-ticket via Chennai with a comfortable layover, booked early for winter travel. Take a morning departure out of Port Blair so monsoon weather is less likely to break your connection. Compare the Chennai and Kolkata routings side by side on FlightGPT, and check the blog for Andaman trip-planning, including which islands need a permit.
No. The islands are about 2,540 km from Ahmedabad, so every itinerary connects through a mainland hub. The most convenient one-stop is via Chennai (MAA), with a total journey of around 5–6 hours.
IndiGo runs the most Port Blair departures and connects via Chennai; Air India covers the connection via Chennai or Kolkata. Ignore any listing showing Jet Airways or Go First — both are defunct, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Via Chennai, about 5–6 hours total: roughly 2h 10m Port Blair–Chennai, a 60–90 minute layover, then about 2h Chennai–Ahmedabad. The Kolkata routing can take 6–7 hours.
Book a single through-ticket where possible. It protects your baggage transfer and gives you rebooking rights if the first leg is delayed — important because Port Blair is weather-prone in the monsoon. Separate tickets save a little but carry the risk.
Chennai usually, as IndiGo runs the most Port Blair departures there and Chennai has frequent onward Ahmedabad flights. Kolkata works if its connection timings suit you better, but the total journey is often a little longer.
Indian citizens do not need a permit for Port Blair or the main tourist islands such as Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep). A Restricted Area Permit applies only to certain other islands. Carry a valid photo ID throughout.
March–May offers a good balance of fair fares and good sea conditions. November–February has the best weather but the highest fares and sells out early. The June–September monsoon is cheapest but has the most flight disruptions.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, an airline cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative flight. On a connecting through-ticket, the airline is responsible for rebooking you if its own delay causes a missed connection.
On a through-ticket, baggage transfers across both legs. IndiGo's cheapest fares may be cabin-only; Air India economy typically includes a checked bag. Dive gear and shell souvenirs have rules — only permitted species, and oversized sports gear must be declared.
IndiGo and Air India web check-in usually opens about 48 hours before the first departure. On a connecting itinerary, do it early and confirm whether you are checked through to Ahmedabad or need to re-check at the hub.
It can. Port Blair sees frequent monsoon weather from roughly May to September, which can delay or cancel departures. Build a comfortable layover and keep your plans flexible if you travel in those months.
IndiGo does not currently accept pets on domestic flights; Air India's policy has conditions and prior approval. On a long two-leg journey through a hub, confirm both carriers' live policies well before booking.
Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fee and a small tax, without a separate seat. Carry age proof, request a bassinet at booking, and pack essentials in your cabin bag for the long journey.
Fares are usually similar, but booking directly with the airline makes weather-driven changes and refunds simpler on this long connecting route. Compare the Chennai and Kolkata options on FlightGPT first, then book where the rules suit you.
A government photo ID such as Aadhaar, PAN or passport. No visa is required — this is a domestic route. The same ID is accepted at the hub transfer; you do not need a separate document for the connection.
