From Port Blair (IXZ), IndiGo operates the most frequent onward connections via Chennai (MAA) — typically 3–5 IXZ–MAA flights daily — with onward MAA–AMD services running every few hours. Air India covers the IXZ–MAA and IXZ–CCU legs and has connecting AMD services. The Chennai routing has a shorter first leg (≈2h 10m) and is generally more convenient; the Kolkata routing (first leg ≈2h 20m) works better for passengers whose schedules fit CCU–AMD departure times. Book a through-ticket rather than two separate tickets to ensure baggage protection and rebooking rights if one leg is delayed due to weather — Port Blair is prone to disruptions during the monsoon (June–September).
Port Blair–Ahmedabad fares follow Andaman tourism cycles rather than typical domestic patterns. Peak season (November–February, when sea conditions are ideal for snorkelling and island-hopping) pushes through-fares to ₹11,000–₹18,000 one way, especially around Christmas–New Year and the winter break. March–May shoulder season offers ₹6,000–₹9,000. Monsoon (June–September) sees fares as low as ₹4,000–₹6,000 but flight disruptions are common. For Gujarati families returning from a 5–7-day Andaman holiday, booking return tickets 6–8 weeks ahead during the Nov–Feb window is strongly advised to avoid sold-out flights.
The Port Blair–Chennai leg takes approximately 2 hours 10 minutes. At Chennai airport, domestic transfers stay within the domestic terminal; allow at least 60–90 minutes for a comfortable connection. The Chennai–Ahmedabad leg takes around 2 hours, covering approximately 1,200 km across the Deccan. Add the layover and total elapsed travel time is typically 5–6 hours for a tightly scheduled itinerary. Routing via Kolkata adds about 15–20 minutes to the first leg and can extend total journey time to 6–7 hours depending on connection timing. IndiGo's through-ticket tools make it easy to compare both routing options.
IndiGo through-ticket base fares include 7 kg cabin baggage. For island travel, many passengers carry snorkelling gear, underwater cameras and shell artefacts — ensure shells fall within the permitted export regulations (only non-endangered species allowed). A 20 kg or 25 kg checked bag add-on costs approximately ₹900–₹1,500 on IndiGo for a multi-sector domestic through-journey; Air India economy typically includes 15 kg checked baggage at no extra charge. Scuba gear and diving equipment are oversized items — check airline policies before booking. Baggage allowances as of June 2026.
Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) handles domestic services and a handful of international charters. The terminal is compact; arrive at least 75 minutes before departure as security queues build quickly during peak season. The airport is ≈4 km from the city centre at Aberdeen Bazaar and well-connected by cab and shared autos. Ahmedabad's Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel International Airport (AMD) has a modern terminal handling domestic and international operations, located ≈12 km from the city centre. The Ahmedabad BRTS (bus) and app-based cabs like Ola connect the airport with the city.
Indian citizens do not need a separate permit to visit Port Blair or the South Andaman region, but a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) is required for certain inhabited islands such as Little Andaman, the Nicobar Islands and some tribal reserve areas. Most tourist islands — Havelock (Swaraj Dweep), Neil (Shaheed Dweep) and Ross Island — are open to Indian visitors without any special permit. Tourists should carry a valid photo ID throughout the Andamans. The permit situation is distinct from the flight booking; plan your island itinerary at /destinations/andaman-islands for a full breakdown of which islands require permits.
No visa or passport is required for this domestic Indian route. A valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, passport or driving licence) is sufficient for check-in at IXZ and arrival at AMD. If you are connecting through Chennai or Kolkata, the same ID is accepted throughout — you will not need to re-check documentation at the domestic transfer point. DigiYatra is available at Ahmedabad AMD for seamless biometric boarding. Web check-in for through-tickets on IndiGo and Air India typically opens 48 hours before the first departure.
