Airlines and non-stop options
IndiGo is the only carrier flying non-stop between Port Blair (Veer Savarkar, IXZ) and Hyderabad (RGIA, HYD) — about one flight a day (roughly seven a week) on an A320-family jet. If you want the direct, IndiGo is effectively your only choice.
If that single daily flight does not suit, you can connect via Chennai (MAA) or Bengaluru (BLR), mostly on IndiGo, sometimes with Air India. Note that the Andamans have a limited number of daily flights overall, so book the non-stop early. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara is now part of Air India.
Timing your booking for IXZ–HYD
The Andaman route is capacity-constrained — only so many flights serve Port Blair each day — so fares to and from the islands tend to be firmer than on mainland trunk routes, and they spike in the December–January peak season.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak island season) | High | Best weather and busiest; book well ahead |
| Mar–May (warm, shoulder) | Moderate | Hot and humid; fares ease somewhat |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Cheapest, but rough seas and rain; some activities limited |
We don't quote a rupee figure — island fares move daily; check the live price and book the non-stop early when it suits.
Crossing the Bay of Bengal — route and duration
This flight crosses the open Bay of Bengal, so it is essentially all over water until the mainland coast. The non-stop covers roughly 1,670 km in about 2h 35m. A one-stop via Chennai or Bengaluru stretches the journey to around 5–7 hours with the layover.
Because there are very few flights serving the islands, schedules are tighter than on the mainland — a single delay can have knock-on effects, so a morning departure and a buffer day for any onward connection are sensible.
Best time to book and best departure windows
Book the non-stop as far ahead as you can, especially for the October–February peak when the islands are busiest. Mid-week dates are usually cheaper than weekends.
For departures, the daily IndiGo flight typically leaves Port Blair late-morning; an earlier-in-the-day arrival into Hyderabad gives you the afternoon for onward plans. If you are connecting beyond Hyderabad, leave a comfortable gap — island flights can shift with weather.
Advice by traveller type
Holidaymakers heading home: book the IXZ–HYD non-stop early as part of your island trip; it is the simplest way back. Keep a buffer day before any international or long-haul onward connection from Hyderabad.
Business travellers: the single daily non-stop is the efficient option — secure it in advance, as last-minute island fares are steep and seats are scarce.
Families and students: the direct flight avoids a tiring connection. If the non-stop is full, a Chennai connection is the most natural 1-stop. Mid-week and monsoon dates are kindest on the wallet, though monsoon means rough weather.
Veer Savarkar Airport and Hyderabad RGIA
Port Blair — Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is a single-terminal airport with a newer integrated terminal; it sits close to Port Blair town. Because it serves a sensitive island region, allow extra time for checks and arrive early.
Hyderabad — Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (HYD) at Shamshabad is a single large integrated terminal handling both domestic and international flights, about 30 km from the city. It is modern and well connected, with good onward links if Hyderabad is a stopover.
Baggage and cabin comfort on the Bay crossing
Standard domestic allowances apply: IndiGo's cheapest fares typically include 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin. If you are bringing back souvenirs or diving gear, check excess-baggage rates in advance — island return flights are popular and can be tight on hold space.
It is a 2.5-hour over-water flight, so carry water and anything you need to hand. See the full rules on IndiGo baggage.
What you need to travel to the Andamans
For Indian citizens, no permit is needed simply to visit Port Blair and most of South Andaman — just a valid government photo ID for the flight (Aadhaar, passport, driving licence or voter ID) matching your booking. However, some areas (certain islands and tribal-reserve zones) require a separate permit obtained locally, so check before planning excursions.
Foreign nationals need a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), typically issued on arrival at Port Blair airport for tourism to permitted islands. Rules change, so confirm the latest requirement before you travel.
Getting to and from the airports
At Port Blair: Veer Savarkar airport is close to town — a short taxi or auto ride to most hotels and the jetty for inter-island ferries. Pre-book a cab in peak season as island transport can be limited.
At Hyderabad: RGIA is about 30 km from the city at Shamshabad. The Pushpak airport bus, app cabs and pre-paid taxis all serve the city; budget 45–75 minutes depending on traffic and your destination.
Making the most of the Andamans before flying back
Plan your last day with the flight in mind. If you are returning from Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) or Neil (Shaheed Dweep), take an early ferry back to Port Blair the day before, or at least with a wide margin — ferries can be delayed or cancelled in rough weather, and missing the once-a-day Hyderabad flight is costly.
Keep the morning of departure light; Veer Savarkar is a small airport where checks take time. A buffer day in Port Blair before flying out is the safest plan in monsoon.
FlightGPT tip
The Andamans have very few daily flights, so the IXZ–HYD non-stop is a scarce seat — book it early, especially for the October–February peak. Build a buffer day before the flight if you are coming from Havelock or Neil, because a delayed ferry plus a once-a-day flight is a bad combination. And leave a comfortable gap before any onward connection from Hyderabad.
Frequently asked questions
Is there a direct flight from Port Blair to Hyderabad?
Yes. IndiGo operates a non-stop of about 2h 35m, roughly once a day (about seven a week), between Port Blair (IXZ) and Hyderabad (HYD) on an A320-family jet.
How long is the Port Blair to Hyderabad flight?
About 2 hours 35 minutes non-stop across the Bay of Bengal. A one-stop via Chennai or Bengaluru takes roughly 5 to 7 hours including the layover.
Which airlines fly Port Blair to Hyderabad?
IndiGo is the only carrier flying the non-stop. One-stop itineraries via Chennai or Bengaluru are also possible, mostly on IndiGo. Go First and Jet Airways have closed; Vistara is now part of Air India.
Do I need a permit to visit the Andamans?
Indian citizens need no permit for Port Blair and most of South Andaman — just a valid photo ID for the flight; some islands and tribal-reserve areas need a local permit. Foreign nationals require a Restricted Area Permit (RAP), usually issued on arrival.
How often does this flight run?
About once a day (roughly seven flights a week). Because the Andamans have limited capacity, the non-stop fills early — book ahead.
When is the cheapest time to fly Port Blair to Hyderabad?
Mid-week dates and the monsoon months (June–September) are generally cheapest, but monsoon brings rough weather. October–February is peak island season with the highest fares.
Can I get a refund if my flight is cancelled?
Yes. Under DGCA rules, an airline-caused cancellation entitles you to an alternate flight or a full refund including taxes.
What baggage can I carry?
Typically 15 kg checked and 7 kg cabin on IndiGo's basic fare. If carrying diving gear or souvenirs, check excess rates early as island return flights can be tight on hold space. See /airlines/indigo/baggage for details.
Can I do web check-in?
Yes. IndiGo web check-in opens 48 hours before departure. Still arrive early at Port Blair, as the small island airport's security checks take time.
Should I leave a buffer before this flight?
Yes, especially if coming from Havelock or Neil. Ferries can be delayed or cancelled in rough seas, and with only one Hyderabad flight a day, a buffer day in Port Blair is wise.
Will the monsoon affect this route?
It can. June–September brings rain and rough seas to the Andamans, which can disrupt ferries and occasionally flights. Build in extra time during the monsoon.
Can I travel with an infant?
Yes. Infants under two travel on a lap fare with proof of age. Add the infant at booking so the fare and seating are handled correctly.
Can I carry a pet on this route?
Pet policies vary by airline and many do not allow pets in the cabin on domestic flights. Confirm directly with IndiGo before booking, and check Andaman-specific rules.
Is it cheaper to book direct with the airline or via an OTA?
Base fares are usually similar. Booking on the airline's own site keeps changes and cancellations simple, which matters on a scarce island route. FlightGPT compares both so you can choose.
