Port Blair (IXZ) sits in the Bay of Bengal and Amritsar (ATQ) is in the far north-west of the mainland — about 3,200 km apart as the crow flies. There is no non-stop flight, and there never has been; the route is simply too long and too thin. Every ticket changes planes at a mainland hub.
The island has no overland or rail link to the rest of India, so flying is the only practical way out. The first leg almost always goes to Kolkata (CCU) or Chennai (MAA) — the two natural gateways from the Andamans — and then a second flight carries you north to Amritsar, usually through Delhi (DEL).
Out of Port Blair you will find IndiGo, Air India / Air India Express, SpiceJet and Akasa Air on the trunk legs to Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. The most reliable build to Amritsar is IXZ → CCU/MAA → onward to ATQ, frequently via Delhi for the final hop.
IndiGo gives you the widest single-airline network for an all-on-one-ticket connection, which is the safest way to fly this far. Go First and Jet Airways are no longer operating, and Vistara has merged into Air India — disregard them on stale listings.
Plan for a long travel day. Total journey time runs from about 6 hours on the tightest one-stop to 9 hours or more with a longer layover. Routings via Kolkata then Delhi are common; the exact time depends on how the two legs line up.
Because you are crossing almost the whole country, do not chase the very shortest layover. A 90-minute-plus connection on a single ticket gives the system room to recover. If the only sensible build needs two tickets, give yourself several hours at the hub.
This is one of the longest domestic itineraries in India, so it rewards early booking — you are buying two seats and island capacity is limited. Andaman tourist season (roughly October to May) keeps the Port Blair leg busy; the Punjab winter and the Amritsar pilgrimage calendar lift the northern end.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–May (Andaman season) | High | Island legs fill early; book well ahead |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest window, but island weather can disrupt |
| Diwali / Christmas / New Year | Very high | Both ends spike; lock in early |
| Major Sikh festivals (e.g. Gurpurab) | High at ATQ | Amritsar-bound demand firms up |
We do not quote a fixed fare — two-leg pricing on a 3,200 km route moves too much with date and hub. Check live options.
The cheapest dependable approach is a single through-ticket on one airline, ideally IndiGo given its network from Port Blair. You usually beat two separate fares, the bag is checked through, and you are re-protected if a leg is late.
Leave Port Blair as early as the schedule allows. An early IXZ departure lands you at the mainland hub with the most onward Amritsar options still open and a buffer if weather delays the island leg. A late first leg can strand you overnight if the single remaining ATQ flight is missed.
Aim to reach Amritsar in daylight if you can — ground transport into the city and to the Golden Temple area is easier before late evening.
Business travellers are rare on this exact pairing; if you are one, book a single through-ticket on the morning bank and keep the layover generous so a delay is re-protected.
Families and pilgrims heading to the Golden Temple should favour the simplest two-leg build (often via Delhi) and a comfortable layover for meals and rest — this is a long day with children or elderly relatives.
Students and budget travellers can self-connect on two cheap tickets, but only with a 3-hour-plus gap; on a route this long, a tight self-connection that fails can cost a full day and an extra night's stay.
Port Blair (IXZ), Veer Savarkar International is a single-terminal airport close to the town. A modern integrated terminal handles all flights; arrive early as capacity and security throughput are limited.
Amritsar (ATQ), Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International also operates from a single terminal, about 11 km north-west of the city. Both ends are straightforward single-terminal fields, so there is no inter-terminal transfer to worry about — your only change is at the mainland hub.
At Port Blair, taxis and auto-rickshaws cover the short hop from the airport to town and the jetties; there is no rail. Arrange transport in advance during peak season.
At Amritsar, app cabs and the pre-paid taxi counter reach the Golden Temple area in 25–40 minutes depending on traffic. The airport is on the city's north-west edge, so allow extra time during festival crowds.
Domestic fares usually include 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag, but the exact allowance depends on the fare you buy. On a single through-ticket the bag is tagged to Amritsar and the allowance covers the full journey — confirm the figure on your fare. See IndiGo baggage for current limits.
On two separate tickets you must reclaim your bag at the hub and re-check it, paying any excess on each ticket independently.
The Andamans are warm and humid year-round, with a heavy monsoon and rough seas from roughly May to September that can disrupt island flights. Amritsar is hot in summer (up to 40°C+), cold and foggy in December–January — winter morning fog at ATQ and across the north occasionally delays arrivals. Pack for tropical departure and a cooler, drier arrival.
Carry your government photo ID for the domestic security check; no visa or permit is needed for the flight itself (separate area permits inside the Andamans are a tourism matter, not a flight requirement).
On a 3,200 km two-leg trip, the through-ticket is your friend — it protects you across both flights and checks your bag end to end. Price the Kolkata and Chennai first legs separately, because the cheaper gateway out of the Andamans changes by the day, and always leave a generous layover so island weather cannot cost you the onward Amritsar flight.
No. There is no direct flight on this 3,200 km route, and there never has been. Every itinerary connects through a mainland hub — usually Kolkata or Chennai first, then onward via Delhi to Amritsar.
Plan for roughly 6 to 9 hours total, including the layover. The exact time depends on the hub and how the two legs line up. Routings via Kolkata or Chennai, then Delhi, are common.
IndiGo, Air India / Air India Express, SpiceJet and Akasa Air operate the trunk legs to Kolkata, Chennai, Delhi, Bengaluru and Hyderabad. IndiGo offers the widest single-airline network for a through-connection. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate; Vistara has merged into Air India.
Book a single through-ticket on one airline, ideally IndiGo, with the first leg to Kolkata or Chennai and the onward leg via Delhi to Amritsar. One ticket means the bag is checked through and you are re-protected if a leg is delayed.
At least 90 minutes on a single ticket. If you self-connect on separate tickets, allow 3 hours or more, because you must reclaim and re-check your bag and you carry the delay risk yourself on such a long route.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels you are due a full refund or a free alternative flight. If you cancel, the refundable amount depends on your fare type and the airline's policy.
Typically 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag on a domestic fare, but it varies by fare. On a through-ticket the allowance covers the whole journey; on separate tickets each ticket has its own. Check your fare and the IndiGo baggage page.
If both legs are on one ticket with one airline, web check-in usually covers the journey and opens around 48 hours out. On separate tickets you check in for each flight individually at each point.
It can. The Andaman monsoon (roughly May–September) and rough seas may delay the island leg, while winter fog in the north can delay the Amritsar arrival. An early departure helps protect your connection.
Some airlines accept pets in cabin or hold on domestic flights with advance approval and weight limits, but a long two-leg connection adds restrictions. Confirm with the operating airline well before you book.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap for a small fee. Carry age proof and request a bassinet or bulkhead seat in advance — this is a long travel day.
No permit is needed for the domestic flight itself. Carry a government photo ID for security. Note that certain tourist areas within the Andamans require separate permits, which is a destination matter, not a flight requirement.
Prices are usually similar. Direct booking can simplify changes; an OTA lets you compare the Kolkata-first and Chennai-first builds together. FlightGPT shows live options so you can pick the cheaper gateway for your date.
Not practically. The Andamans have no road or rail link to the mainland; the only alternative to flying is a multi-day ship passage to Kolkata or Chennai, after which you would still need a flight or long train to Amritsar.
