There is no direct flight between Port Blair and Coimbatore. The two sensible routings are a single stop via Chennai (MAA) or via Bengaluru (BLR) — both are well-served hubs out of the Andamans. You fly Port Blair (IXZ) to the hub, then onward to Coimbatore (CJB).
IndiGo is the dominant carrier on Port Blair's mainland links, with Air India also present; both Chennai and Bengaluru have frequent onward service to Coimbatore. Vistara has merged into Air India; Go First and Jet Airways are defunct — ignore any old listings. Booking on a single PNR protects your connection if the island leg runs late.
It is about 1,780 km overall. Port Blair to Chennai is roughly 2h 15m and Chennai to Coimbatore around 1h; via Bengaluru the island leg is a little longer but the onward hop to Coimbatore is short. With the layover, total journey time lands at about 3 to 4.5 hours. No time change — both on IST.
Chennai is usually the more natural hub because it has the most Port Blair frequencies and a quick onward leg to Coimbatore. Bengaluru is the fallback when the Chennai timings or fares do not suit.
Both work; the trade-off is mostly schedule and price:
| Hub | Strength | Watch-out |
|---|---|---|
| Chennai (MAA) | Most Port Blair frequencies; short onward leg to CJB | Connection windows can be tight at peak times |
| Bengaluru (BLR) | Good onward CJB options; sometimes cheaper | Longer island leg; BLR's domestic T1 is large, allow transfer time |
Pick whichever gives the cleaner same-day connection on your date; compare both before booking.
Andaman tourist season and Tamil Nadu demand both feed into the price. Relative demand:
| Period | Demand | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Mar (Andaman peak) | High | Island season; book the IXZ leg 4–8 weeks ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Moderate | Hotter on the islands but better value |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest, but allow buffer for weather delays |
Fares change daily with demand and fuel; we do not quote a rupee figure. The Port Blair leg is the scarcer half — book it first.
Port Blair operates in daylight only, so the island leg departs mid-morning to early afternoon. Choose a hub connection that leaves a real buffer — ideally 2 hours or more — so a delayed IXZ flight does not break your onward leg to Coimbatore. The last CJB flight of the day should not be your only fallback.
Business travellers: a single through-fare with a comfortable hub layover is the safe choice; the island leg is the variable. Carry-on only speeds the Chennai or Bengaluru transit.
Families: the connection plus an island departure makes a long travel day — pick a hub stop with time to eat and regroup, and pre-book seats together. Carry essentials, as Port Blair's airport is compact.
Students & budget travellers: self-connecting can be cheaper, but only with a couple of hours' buffer at the hub and hand baggage you can re-check. In Andaman peak season, secure the island leg early.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International Airport, a single terminal with daylight-only operations. A newer integrated terminal has expanded capacity. Security is thorough; arrive early.
Chennai (MAA): domestic flights use the domestic terminal complex (Terminal 1). It is a busy hub — allow time for your transfer if your bags are not checked through.
Coimbatore (CJB): Coimbatore International Airport, a single passenger terminal handling both domestic and limited international services. Compact and easy to navigate.
At Port Blair: IXZ is only about 4 km from town — a short taxi or auto ride.
At Coimbatore: CJB is roughly 10–12 km east of the city centre. App cabs, autos and pre-paid taxis are readily available; the drive into the city is usually 25–35 minutes depending on traffic.
IndiGo and Air India domestic fares typically allow 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag, though it varies by fare and carrier — confirm at checkout. On a single-PNR connection your bags are normally checked through to Coimbatore. See the IndiGo baggage page for the IndiGo leg, and check Air India separately if a leg is on it. Pre-pay excess online to save. Note that some marine souvenirs (coral, shells) are restricted out of the Andamans — do not pack them.
The Andamans are best October to May; the south-west monsoon (roughly May–Sep) brings heavy rain and rougher conditions, with a higher chance of weather delays on the island leg. Coimbatore is pleasant much of the year, cooled by the nearby Western Ghats, with its own monsoon spells. Keep onward plans flexible during the monsoon, and remember Port Blair's daylight-only schedule when timing your day.
Book the Port Blair leg first — it is the scarce, weather-exposed half — ideally on one PNR through to Coimbatore with a 2-hour-plus hub buffer. Then compare the Chennai and Bengaluru routings on a metasearch and take whichever gives the cleaner same-day connection at the better fare on your date.
No. There is no non-stop. You connect via Chennai (MAA) or Bengaluru (BLR). The whole journey takes about 3 to 4.5 hours including the layover.
Chennai is usually the more natural hub — it has the most Port Blair frequencies and a short onward leg to Coimbatore. Bengaluru is a good fallback and is sometimes cheaper. Compare both on your date.
About 2h 15m Port Blair–Chennai and roughly 1h Chennai–Coimbatore, so 3 to 4.5 hours total once you add the layover. Via Bengaluru the split differs but the total is similar.
IndiGo dominates Port Blair's mainland links, with Air India also present; both Chennai and Bengaluru have frequent onward service to Coimbatore. Vistara is now part of Air India, and Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate.
No Inner Line Permit is required for Indian citizens to visit the main Andaman Islands, including Port Blair. Some specific tribal-reserve and restricted areas need separate permits, but the airport and Port Blair itself do not. Carry a government photo ID.
Veer Savarkar Airport (IXZ) has daylight-only operations, so the island leg departs mid-morning to early afternoon. Plan your hub connection around that window.
A single through-fare on one PNR is safer — the airline protects your connection if the island leg is delayed. Two separate tickets can be cheaper but you carry the missed-connection risk yourself.
No. Coimbatore International (CJB) has a single passenger terminal handling domestic and limited international flights. It is compact and easy to navigate.
Aim for 2 hours or more, especially in the monsoon. The island leg is weather-exposed and can be delayed, so a comfortable hub buffer protects your onward Coimbatore flight.
Under DGCA rules, an airline-caused cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative, and on a single ticket the airline must re-accommodate you. Cancellation and refund terms vary by fare — read them before booking.
On a single PNR your checked bags are normally tagged through to Coimbatore. On two separate tickets you may re-check at the hub. Standard allowance is around 15 kg check-in plus a 7 kg cabin bag, fare-dependent. Note coral and shell souvenirs are restricted out of the Andamans.
Pet carriage is limited, needs advance arrangement and paperwork, and a connecting itinerary complicates it. Contact the airline well ahead — do not assume your pet can fly without prior approval.
Carry proof of age. Infants under two travel on a lap fare with no separate seat and usually a small extra baggage allowance. Declare the infant at booking, especially on a connecting ticket.
Prices are usually comparable. Airline sites can carry their own deals and ease changes; a metasearch lets you compare both hubs, both carriers and the airline's own price before booking.
