Port Blair (IXZ) to Delhi (DEL) is the longest domestic non-stop in this guide, linking the Andaman Islands with the national capital. IndiGo operates the most non-stops, with Air India adding further direct services; between them you can usually find four to six non-stop departures a day, mostly in the morning given the long sector and the islands' early daylight. One-stop options via Chennai or Kolkata also exist and are sometimes cheaper, but they turn a half-day journey into most of a day, so the non-stop is the clear pick when it fits your budget.

The non-stop covers roughly 2,300 km across the Bay of Bengal and the Indian mainland, taking about 3 hours 40 minutes airborne — plan close to 4 hours gate to gate. The track runs north-west from the Andaman Sea over the peninsula towards Delhi. Both ends are on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock adjustment. Connecting routings via Chennai or Kolkata can stretch the total journey to seven hours or more once the layover is counted, which is why most travellers prefer the non-stop despite its longer single-leg duration.
This is a tourism-driven route, so fares track the Andaman season. The peak runs roughly October to March, when the islands' weather is best and seats sell early — Christmas–New Year and the winter holidays are the sharpest spikes. The monsoon months (roughly May to September) see softer demand and the best value, though sea conditions limit some island activities. Because frequency is lower than on metro trunk routes, booking three to six weeks ahead is wise, especially for peak-season travel.
| Period | Demand | Fare tendency |
|---|---|---|
| Christmas–New Year | Very high | Highest — book well ahead |
| Peak season (Oct–Mar) | High | Above average |
| Shoulder (Apr, Sep) | Moderate | Mixed |
| Monsoon (May–Aug) | Lower | Best value |
Treat these as direction only — fares move constantly, so always check live prices.
Book early for the October–March peak; this lower-frequency route punishes last-minute buyers more than busy metro sectors. Midweek departures usually price below weekends. If your dates are flexible, travelling in the shoulder months (April or September) can cut fares meaningfully. Compare the airline's own site with aggregators, and weigh whether a one-stop via Chennai genuinely saves enough to justify the extra hours — often it does not once you value your time.
Given the long sector, most non-stops leave Port Blair in the morning, arriving in Delhi by early afternoon with time to connect onward or settle in. Morning departures also avoid the islands' afternoon weather build-up during the monsoon. If you are connecting beyond Delhi, the morning bank gives the most comfortable buffer; an afternoon departure leaves little margin if anything slips.
Business travellers are fewer on this leisure route, but the morning non-stops support a same-day onward connection from Delhi. Families and holidaymakers — the bulk of traffic — should book the October–March peak early, choose the non-stop to limit a tiring travel day with children, and consider extra baggage for souvenirs and dive gear. Students and budget travellers can find real savings in the shoulder and monsoon months and on midweek, carry-on-light fares, accepting that some island activities pause in the rains.
Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) has a single, modern integrated terminal that opened in 2023, with a distinctive sea-shell roof and much-improved capacity over the old building. At Delhi, your terminal depends on the airline: IndiGo uses Terminal 1 (T1) and Air India uses Terminal 3 (T3). These are several kilometres apart with a paid shuttle between them, so if you are connecting onward from Delhi on a different airline, confirm both terminals and allow ample transfer time.
Port Blair airport sits very close to the town, so transfers are quick and cheap by taxi or auto-rickshaw — handy for an early non-stop. At Delhi, T1 connects via the Magenta Line metro and app cabs, while T3 has its own Airport Express Metro station plus extensive cab and bus links. Allow for Delhi's traffic and the inter-terminal distance if your journey continues.
Domestic economy generally includes 7 kg cabin plus a personal item and 15 kg checked, though hand-baggage-only fares with no free check-in are sold by some carriers. Divers and beach travellers often need extra checked allowance — buy it online in advance, as it is cheaper than airport excess. Check the airline's policy, for example IndiGo baggage or Air India baggage, before you fly.
The Andamans are at their best from October to March — calm seas, clear water and reliable flying weather. The southwest monsoon (roughly May to September) brings heavy rain and rougher seas that can cause occasional weather holds at Port Blair and limit ferry and dive activities. Delhi's winter fog (late December–January) can delay arrivals at the other end. Pack light, quick-dry clothing for the islands, a layer for Delhi winters, and keep medicines and documents in your cabin bag.
For peak-season Andaman travel, lock your non-stop early — this route's limited frequency means good fares vanish weeks ahead around Christmas and the winter holidays. If you are flexible, the April and September shoulder months offer the best balance of price and decent island weather. Compare every option in one view on FlightGPT.

Most economy fares include 7 kg cabin and 15 kg checked, with hand-baggage-only fares available on some carriers. Divers and beach travellers should buy extra checked allowance online in advance.
Under DGCA rules, airlines must refund statutory taxes and fees even on non-refundable fares and cannot charge cancellation fees above base fare plus fuel surcharge. A full refund applies if the airline cancels the flight.
Yes. Both carriers offer web check-in, usually opening 48 hours before departure. It is worth doing online to save time, particularly for an early-morning departure from Port Blair.
It can. Heavy southwest-monsoon rain (May–September) sometimes causes weather holds at Port Blair, and Delhi's winter fog can delay arrivals. Allow buffer time and prefer morning departures.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap for a nominal fare plus taxes. Carry age proof and check the airline's infant baggage and bassinet policy, which is helpful on a near-four-hour flight.
Some airlines accept pets in cabin or hold subject to weight limits and paperwork; others do not. Arrange it directly with the airline well before travel, especially on a long sector.
Indian nationals do not need a permit for most tourist areas of the Andaman Islands, though some areas require a local permit on arrival. Foreign nationals have separate rules. Only a government photo ID is needed to fly the domestic sector.
Both work. The airline's own site can match online travel agents and is simpler for changes and refunds. Comparing both on FlightGPT helps you spot the best non-stop fare on this lower-frequency route.
No. Despite the distance, both are on Indian Standard Time, so the arrival clock reflects exactly the flight duration.
