Airlines and non-stop options

Good news: Port Blair (IXZ) to Bengaluru (BLR) is served by non-stop flights. IndiGo runs the most frequencies, with Air India and Air India Express also flying the route, giving several daily non-stops in total. The over-water sector to the Andaman Islands is flown on Airbus A320/A321 family jets, not turboprops, so it is a comfortable single-hop journey.

Disregard older schedules listing Go First, Jet Airways or Vistara — Go First and Jet have ceased operations and Vistara has merged into Air India (with Air India Express absorbing the low-cost flying). For most travellers the non-stop is the clear choice; connecting itineraries via Chennai exist but add hours for no real benefit.

Flight time, distance and routing

The great-circle distance is about 1,395 km, flown non-stop in roughly 2 hours 30 minutes. The route crosses the Bay of Bengal, so it is jet-operated end to end. Because Port Blair has limited night-operations and the Andamans sit some distance offshore, most departures are scheduled in daylight — book early in the day where possible. There is no faster routing than the non-stop, and connecting via Chennai only lengthens the journey.

Best time to book and seasonal fares

The Andamans are a leisure destination, so demand spikes in the peak tourist window (roughly Oct–May, with a Christmas–New Year and summer-holiday surge) and softens in the monsoon. Because seat capacity to Port Blair is limited, non-stop fares can climb fast in peak season — book 4–8 weeks ahead.

PeriodDemandWhat to expect
Oct–Feb (peak season)HighBest Andaman weather; fares firm, book early
Mar–May (warm, school holidays)HighSummer-holiday surge; book well ahead
Jun–Sep (monsoon)LowerSoftest fares; rain and occasional sea-state advisories

Getting your fare cheaper

Capacity to Port Blair is tight, so the earlier you book the better — 4–8 weeks ahead in peak season. Compare IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express directly, as fares can vary sharply by day. Mid-week departures and the shoulder months (Sep–Oct, late May) are usually cheaper. Travelling cabin-only trims the price, though leisure travellers often need checked bags for the islands. Set a fare alert on FlightGPT to catch a dip.

Best departure windows

Daytime departures dominate this route because of Port Blair's operating window, so plan around morning and midday flights. A morning departure from Port Blair lands you in Bengaluru with the day intact for onward connections or city travel. Heading the other way, an early Bengaluru flight gets you to the islands with daylight to spare for the ferry or onward transfer to Havelock and Neil.

Advice by traveller type

Business: the non-stop is the obvious pick; book early in peak season as seats are limited, and keep some flexibility if your return may shift. Families: a single 2h 30m hop on a jet is far easier than any connection — choose a morning flight and carry essentials, snacks and motion-sickness aids in the cabin. Students and budget travellers: compare all three carriers and target the monsoon or shoulder months for the lowest fares, accepting the higher chance of rain. Avoid two separate tickets here — the non-stop removes any need to connect.

Airports and terminals

Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) opened a new integrated terminal in 2023, a single modern building handling all flights — a big upgrade on the old cramped facility. At Bengaluru's Kempegowda International (BLR), IndiGo and Air India Express operate from Terminal 1, while Air India uses Terminal 2. T1 and T2 are separate buildings, so check which terminal your carrier uses, especially for any onward connection. Confirm the terminal on your boarding pass before you travel.

Getting to and from the airport

Port Blair's airport is only about 2–4 km from the town centre, so taxis and autos reach it in 10–15 minutes — very convenient. At Bengaluru, Kempegowda International is around 35–40 km north of the city, so allow 60–90 minutes by app cab or the Vayu Vajra airport buses, and more in peak traffic. Plan your Bengaluru arrival with this long transfer in mind, particularly for any onward train or meeting.

Baggage allowance

On standard domestic fares, IndiGo and Air India Express typically include 15 kg checked plus one 7 kg cabin bag, while Air India often allows 25 kg checked on many domestic fares — confirm your fare family at booking, as allowances differ. Leisure travellers to the Andamans frequently need checked bags for beach and dive gear, so price the right fare bundle. See IndiGo baggage for current limits and excess charges, and check each carrier's page when comparing.

Travel tips and weather

The best Andaman weather runs roughly October to May; the southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings heavy rain and choppy seas that can affect ferries to Havelock and Neil more than the flights themselves. Bengaluru is mild year-round thanks to its altitude. Carry light cottons, swimwear, reef-safe sunscreen and any dive certification for the islands. Note that some Andaman areas require permits — check current rules before you travel.

FlightGPT tip

This is one of the few long Andaman sectors with a genuine non-stop, so grab it rather than connecting via Chennai. Seats to Port Blair are limited and fill in peak season, so set a price alert on FlightGPT, compare IndiGo, Air India and Air India Express, and book 4–8 weeks ahead for the best non-stop fare.

Does the monsoon affect this route?

Yes. The southwest monsoon (Jun–Sep) brings heavy rain that can occasionally delay flights and more often disrupts onward island ferries. Build buffer into your plans.

Can I carry pets?

Pet policies vary by airline and need advance arrangement and documentation. Contact the carrier well before travel to confirm cabin or cargo options on this sector.

Do infants need a ticket?

Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap-infant fare (no separate seat) with proof of age. Each airline has its own infant fare and baggage rules, so confirm at booking.

Should I book direct or via an OTA?

Booking direct can simplify changes and refunds. OTAs sometimes show lower headline prices; compare all three carriers and check the OTA's change and cancellation terms first.
