Carriers & schedule
IndiGo operates the majority of Port Blair–Bangalore non-stop departures, typically scheduling one morning and occasionally an afternoon wave. Air India also maintains service on this route with its A320 family aircraft. Frequency can thin to one daily flight outside peak season, so checking the 30-day calendar on FlightGPT before finalising dates is worthwhile. Occasionally IndiGo supplements the IXZ–BLR route with an additional flight during festive or holiday surges, but this is not guaranteed. No other carrier currently holds scheduled non-stop rights on this specific pairing — alternatives require connecting at Chennai, Kolkata or Hyderabad.

Fare trends & when to book
Port Blair–Bangalore fares are highly seasonal. During the peak Andaman season (November–February and May school holidays), one-way fares regularly climb to ₹8,000–₹14,000 or more. The lowest fares — often ₹3,500–₹5,500 — appear in September–October (post-monsoon, before peak) and again in late June–July when the islands are wet. As of June 2026, IndiGo sale fares on this route have been spotted around ₹3,999 including taxes. Booking 4–6 weeks ahead secures better inventory; last-minute fares on this low-frequency route can jump sharply.
In-flight experience & aircraft
IndiGo operates A320neo or A321neo aircraft on this route — comfortable narrowbodies with standard 3-3 seating. Air India uses similar A320 family jets. The route crosses the Bay of Bengal, offering spectacular ocean and coastline views, particularly on descent into the Andamans. Flight time is around 2h 15m to 2h 25m westbound (BLR→IXZ is similar). Neither airline serves a hot meal on this sector by default, though IndiGo offers buy-on-board snacks and Air India may include a light snack on some fare classes. Cabin Wi-Fi is not available on domestic Indian flights as of 2026.
Checked bags & cabin allowance
IndiGo base economy ("Lite") includes 7 kg carry-on only — checked baggage (15 kg or 20 kg slabs) must be pre-purchased; adding it at the airport costs roughly 2× the online rate. Air India domestic economy typically includes 15–25 kg checked baggage in the base fare. For beach holidays, travellers often carry snorkelling gear or dive equipment — this counts as sports equipment and attracts an excess baggage fee; book in advance. As of June 2026, an IndiGo fare with 20 kg checked bag on this route runs ≈ ₹5,500–₹9,000 one-way.
Airport & ground transport
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is located on South Andaman island, about 2 km south of Port Blair city. The airport is small but efficient; taxis and auto-rickshaws are available outside, and the ride to Aberdeen Bazaar takes about 10 minutes. In Bangalore, Kempegowda International Airport (BLR) is ≈ 40 km north of the city — the Namma Metro Purple Line extension to the airport is operational, offering a congestion-free ride to the city; alternatively, pre-paid taxis and Ola/Uber are plentiful. BLR's Terminal 1 handles domestic IndiGo and Air India departures.
Documents for this domestic route
This is a domestic Indian route — no passport or visa is required. A valid government-issued photo ID (Aadhaar, voter ID, driving licence, or Indian passport) is mandatory at check-in. DigiYatra facial-biometric boarding is available at BLR and increasingly at larger airports. Note that travellers to the Andaman & Nicobar Islands do not need a permit for Port Blair and most tourist areas (Ross Island, Neil, Havelock), but the Restricted Area Permit (RAP) IS required for some tribal reserve islands like North Sentinel — those are off-limits to tourists entirely. Standard Indian citizenship documents suffice for all normal tourist areas.
Best season for the Andamans
The Andaman Islands are at their best from October through May — calm seas, visibility for snorkelling and scuba diving, and dry sunny skies. November to February is peak season with cooler evenings and the clearest underwater visibility at Havelock and Neil Islands. June to September brings the south-west monsoon, with rough seas that can disrupt ferry services between islands and reduce visibility for water sports. Bangalore travellers should ideally fly out by early March to avoid increasingly warm Bangalore summers while enjoying the Andaman dry window — both conditions are favourable.
