Port Blair is well connected to Chennai (MAA) and Bengaluru (BLR) by IndiGo and Air India. Chennai is the geographically closer hub (IXZ–MAA takes ≈ 2h), and a MAA–CJB connection takes just ≈ 1h 20m — making the Chennai routing the fastest overall (≈ 3h 30m total with a 1.5-hour layover). Via Bengaluru, IXZ–BLR takes ≈ 2h 15m and BLR–CJB adds ≈ 1h — total ≈ 4h 30m. The Chennai option is almost always preferred for time efficiency. IndiGo operates the most flights on both routes; Air India also serves IXZ–MAA and MAA–CJB with check-in luggage included. As of June 2026, one-way fares start from ≈ ₹6,500–₹12,000.
Port Blair and the Andaman Islands are best visited from October to May when seas are calm and skies are clear — this is also peak tourist season, meaning IXZ seats fill quickly. The January–April window drives high outbound demand from the Andamans as seasonal visitors depart. Coimbatore's Tamil calendar also influences travel: Pongal (mid-January) and Karthigai Deepam (November) see Andaman Tamil families heading back to Tamil Nadu. For the lowest fares on IXZ–MAA–CJB, book travel in July (monsoon) or September (pre-season). Airlines often slash fares to fill the IXZ sector during the June–September monsoon when tourism dips sharply.
IndiGo's IXZ–MAA flights depart multiple times daily; the flight takes ≈ 2h. At Chennai, connections to CJB typically have a 1h 30m–2h gap on a through-ticket. Chennai Airport handles both sectors in Terminal 4 (international-equivalent integrated facility); transfer between gates is quick. The MAA–CJB hop is ≈ 1h 20m. Total door-to-gate travel from Port Blair to Coimbatore via Chennai is about 3h 30m on the fastest combination.

As of June 2026, one-way connecting economy on IXZ–MAA–CJB typically starts from ₹6,500 (booked 4+ weeks ahead in monsoon) and peaks at ₹15,000–₹18,000 during October–January tourist season. Return fares booked 3 weeks ahead can come in under ₹13,000. IndiGo's base fare includes 0 kg checked baggage (add 15 kg for ≈ ₹700–₹1,200 at checkout); Air India domestic economy includes 15 kg free, which is valuable if returning from Andaman with shells, spices, or handicrafts. Carry-on is 7 kg (IndiGo) and 8 kg (Air India). Seasonal demand means IXZ seats are limited — book ahead, especially November–February.
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair handles both domestic and international flights from a single compact terminal. Located ≈ 4 km from Aberdeen Bazaar, the airport is accessible by auto-rickshaw (≈ ₹100–₹150) or prepaid taxi (≈ ₹200–₹300). Despite the "international" designation, scheduled international services from IXZ are limited; most flights connect to mainland India. Arrive 1.5 hours ahead for domestic departures.

Coimbatore is Tamil Nadu's second-largest city, known for textiles, engineering clusters, and as the gateway to Ooty and the Nilgiri Hills.
Indian citizens do not need a visa, Inner Line Permit (ILP), or Restricted Area Permit (RAP) to visit the main Andaman Islands (Port Blair, Neil Island, Havelock / Swaraj Dweep). A valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, Voter ID, passport, or driving licence — is sufficient for boarding. Foreign nationals require a RAP, but this does not apply to Indian passport holders. Note that some remote islands in the Andamans (like North Sentinel, Little Andaman) remain off-limits or require special permissions; standard tourist routes do not require permits beyond standard ID. DigiYatra is available at Port Blair airport for Aadhaar-enrolled passengers.
Coimbatore is more than a transit city — its healthcare facilities draw patients from across Tamil Nadu and South India, making it a medical hub for Andaman residents. The city is also the base for iconic Nilgiri hill trips: Ooty (Udhagamandalam) is 86 km from Coimbatore (≈ 2.5h), and the Nilgiri Mountain Railway — a UNESCO heritage toy train — departs from Mettupalayam, 47 km away. Coimbatore's Isha Yoga Centre (Dhyanalinga) attracts spiritual travellers from across India.
