Via Kolkata vs via Delhi — which hub is faster?
Port Blair (IXZ) to Kolkata (CCU) takes ≈ 2h; CCU to Amritsar (ATQ) takes ≈ 2h 15m. A total via-CCU routing can be completed in ≈ 6–7 hours with a comfortable connection. Via Delhi (DEL), the IXZ–DEL sector is ≈ 3h, and DEL–ATQ takes just ≈ 1h, but the longer first leg means similar total time. Kolkata edges out Delhi on total elapsed time and is often cheaper for this routing. IndiGo and Air India both have strong CCU presence; IndiGo typically offers the most competitive fares on both legs. If travelling onwards in Punjab after Amritsar, Delhi is a useful hub to avoid backtracking.
What the Port Blair to Amritsar fare landscape looks like
As of June 2026, one-way economy fares from IXZ to ATQ (via CCU or DEL) range ≈ ₹5,500–₹14,000 depending on season, airline, and booking lead time. IndiGo is typically cheapest, especially when booking both legs together. Return fares range ≈ ₹11,000–₹28,000. Andaman peak tourist season (November–February) pushes the Port Blair departure leg higher; Amritsar is busy around Baisakhi (April), Diwali, and Golden Temple events. Booking 3–4 weeks ahead in shoulder months (June–September excluding monsoon peak) can yield sub-₹10,000 one-way fares.
Port Blair airport: check-in and departure tips
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is a compact facility. The single terminal handles both domestic and international traffic, but Port Blair is almost exclusively a domestic hub. Security at IXZ is generally efficient; arrive 2 hours before departure. All passengers entering and leaving the Andaman & Nicobar Islands must carry a valid photo ID (Aadhaar or passport); some zones in the Andamans require permits for restricted areas (not needed for general tourism). The airport has a café and a small retail zone. Download your IndiGo or Air India boarding pass in advance as mobile check-in is available and queue-reduces at this busy terminal.
Planning your Amritsar arrival — what to see
Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ) is ≈ 11 km from the Golden Temple — a 20–30 minute drive by taxi (≈ ₹300–400). Amritsar is one of India's most visited destinations, with the Harmandir Sahib (Golden Temple), Jallianwala Bagh, and Wagah Border ceremony as must-sees. Accommodation near the Golden Temple ranges from budget dharamsalas (free for pilgrims) to mid-range hotels at ₹1,500–₹4,000 per night. Amritsar's food scene — lassi, kulcha, and fish pakora — is a significant draw. The Wagah ceremony requires arriving at the border by 4:30 PM during winter and 5:30 PM in summer.
Do you need any documents for this domestic route?
As a purely domestic Indian route, no visa or international travel documentation is required. A valid government-issued photo ID — Aadhaar card, passport, Voter ID, or PAN card — is sufficient for boarding at IXZ and ATQ. DigiYatra (biometric boarding) is available at some terminals; enrolment via the DigiYatra app speeds up security and boarding if your face is registered. Minor children under 12 travelling with an adult generally do not need a separate ID document, though airlines may request a birth certificate. Keep your ID on your person during the entire journey, as both security checkpoints (IXZ and hub airport) will verify it.
Baggage policies and tips for the IXZ–ATQ multi-segment journey
When booking both legs on a single IndiGo or Air India PNR, the baggage allowance applies end-to-end — typically 15 kg for IndiGo Economy (extra can be pre-purchased) or 25 kg for Air India Economy. Beach holiday luggage from the Andamans (wet gear, snorkel equipment) can add weight — pre-purchase extra baggage online at ₹500–800 per 5 kg rather than paying the per-kg airport rate. Booking two separate tickets means separate baggage allowances and re-checking your bags at the hub airport; allow at least 60–90 minutes connection time to do so comfortably.
