There is no non-stop flight between Port Blair and Goa — the Andamans connect to the mainland only through a few southern and central hubs. To fly the route you book a one-stop itinerary, changing planes at Chennai (MAA), Hyderabad (HYD) or Bengaluru (BLR). Chennai is the most natural hub, with frequent Port Blair flights and many onward Goa departures.
IndiGo offers the widest set of connections, with Air India also flying both the island leg and the onward Goa sector. Book the whole journey on one ticket with a single airline where you can — that way your bags through-check and a delayed first leg is the airline's responsibility to re-accommodate, which matters more here because Port Blair has limited daily flights.
The straight-line distance is roughly 2,450 km, almost all of it over the Bay of Bengal to the mainland and then across the peninsula. Expect about 2h for Port Blair–Chennai, a layover of one to three hours, then around 1h 30m for Chennai–Goa. End to end, plan for 5h to 7h depending on the connection.
Routing via Chennai is usually the quickest and best-connected because of its dense Goa schedule. Hyderabad and Bengaluru are good alternatives and can be cheaper, but check that the onward Goa timing lines up the same day.
This is a long connecting route to a highly seasonal beach destination, so fares swing sharply. Book three to eight weeks ahead, especially for peak winter. The table shows the broad pattern (qualitative — actual fares vary by date and lead time).
| Period | Demand | Fare trend |
|---|---|---|
| Dec–Jan (Goa peak, New Year) | Very high | Dearest — book well ahead |
| Oct–Nov & Feb (shoulder, pleasant at both ends) | High | Above average |
| Mar–Apr (warm) | Moderate | Mid-range |
| May (pre-monsoon) | Lower | Good value |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon — rough seas, fewer island tourists) | Low | Cheapest, but wet |
On this island-to-beach connecting route:
Port Blair's Veer Savarkar Airport operates in daylight hours only, so flights off the island leave in the morning or early afternoon. Take the earliest sensible departure to maximise your onward connection choices and your fallback options. A morning island departure typically connects to a same-day afternoon arrival in Goa. Avoid leaving the connection to the last onward Goa flight of the day — if it cancels, you may be stuck at the hub overnight, since you cannot return to Port Blair after dark.
Business travellers: This is a long day with a connection and daylight-only island flights — build in a buffer and keep everything on one ticket. Via Chennai is the most dependable.
Families: The 5–7 hour journey with a layover is tiring for children. Choose a comfortable connection, carry food and entertainment, and consider an overnight at the hub city if the timings are awkward.
Students and budget travellers: May and the monsoon are cheapest, though the Andamans are quieter and wetter then. Compare all three hubs, fly mid-week and travel hand-baggage-only for the best value.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International Airport has a single modern terminal, just a couple of kilometres from the town. It is a daylight-only airport with no night operations, so plan around morning and early-afternoon departures.
Connection hubs: Chennai (MAA) uses Terminal 1 for domestic flights; Hyderabad (HYD) and Bengaluru (BLR) each route domestic through their main terminals (note IndiGo at Bengaluru uses T1, Air India T2). Follow onward-flight signage and re-clear security for the domestic leg.
Goa: Two airports. Mopa / Manohar International (GOX) in the north is the primary airport now and handles most scheduled flights; Dabolim (GOI) in the south still runs some services. They are around 50 km apart — confirm which one your ticket uses before booking transport.
In Port Blair, the airport is barely 2 km from the town centre, so taxis and autos reach it in minutes — handy for the early-morning departures. In Goa, if you land at Mopa (GOX) you are in the north, convenient for Calangute, Baga and Anjuna; pre-paid taxis, app cabs and shuttle buses serve it. Dabolim (GOI) is in the south, nearer Panaji and the southern beaches. Both have pre-paid taxi counters — fix the fare before you set off, especially in peak season when demand is high.
Standard domestic economy fares usually allow 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin, but saver fares often include less or are hand-baggage-only — check your fare. On a one-stop ticket with a single airline, your bags are checked through to Goa. See IndiGo baggage and Air India baggage for current limits and excess charges. If you are carrying diving gear or fragile souvenirs from the islands, declare and pack them properly, and budget for any excess.
Both ends share a similar rhythm: the Andamans and Goa are at their best from November to April — warm, drier and ideal for beaches and water sports — while the June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and rough seas at both ends, with quieter resorts and lower fares. The Andamans can also see weather-related disruptions in the monsoon, so build in buffer time then. Carry light cottons, sun protection and reef-safe sunscreen. Mobile data is patchy on the islands, so download maps and tickets in advance.
Anchor your search on the Port Blair leg, because it is the scarce, daylight-only resource. Pick the earliest sensible island departure into Chennai (or Hyderabad/Bengaluru), then choose an onward Goa flight that connects comfortably the same afternoon — never the last one of the day. And confirm whether you are landing at Mopa or Dabolim before you book a Goa taxi, since the two airports sit about 50 km apart.
No. There is no non-stop service. Every itinerary connects through a mainland hub — usually Chennai, Hyderabad or Bengaluru — with a change of aircraft.
IndiGo offers the most connecting options, with Air India also serving both the island and onward Goa legs.
Plan for about 5h to 7h end to end — roughly 2h to the hub, a layover, then about 1h 30m to Goa.
Chennai is usually the quickest and best-connected, with frequent Port Blair and Goa flights. Hyderabad and Bengaluru are good alternatives and can be cheaper.
Most scheduled flights now use Mopa / Manohar International (GOX) in the north, though some still use Dabolim (GOI) in the south. They are about 50 km apart — check your ticket before arranging transport.
Veer Savarkar Airport does not handle night operations, so flights to and from the island leave in the morning or early afternoon. Plan connections accordingly.
For the flight, just a valid government photo ID. No visa is needed for domestic travel. (Permits for certain Andaman islands are arranged locally and do not affect the flight itself.)
Yes. On a single ticket with one airline you can usually check in for the whole journey online and get both boarding passes.
Under DGCA rules, an airline-initiated cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative flight. On a connecting ticket, the airline must re-accommodate you if its delay makes you miss the onward leg.
Usually 15 kg check-in and 7 kg cabin on standard domestic economy, though saver fares may include less. See the IndiGo and Air India baggage pages for details.
It can. June–September brings heavy rain and rough seas at both ends, and the Andamans can see weather-related delays. Allow buffer time and prefer morning island departures.
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap at a reduced fare without a separate seat. Carry age proof and request a bassinet on the longer leg if available.
Air India permits cabin or cargo pets on many routes with advance arrangement; IndiGo's policy is restrictive, and connecting island itineraries add complexity. Confirm with the airline well before travel.
Compare both. OTAs help you find the cheapest hub-and-connection combination; booking with the airline can simplify changes and re-accommodation. FlightGPT shows both side by side.
