IndiGo typically operates the highest frequency on Port Blair–Kolkata — up to 2 daily non-stops — with narrow-body A320 family aircraft. Air India (full-service) covers the route too, occasionally using slightly larger aircraft. Historically SpiceJet also served IXZ–CCU; verify current operators on flightgpt.in as island route capacity shifts seasonally. IndiGo and Air India together ensure at least ≈ 2–3 departures most days. Book early: Andaman seats sell out weeks in advance during December–January peak tourism and over long weekends.
Port Blair–Kolkata one-way fares range from ≈ ₹ 4,000 (very early booking off-peak) to ₹ 18,000+ (last-minute Christmas/New Year). The sweet spot is booking 4–6 weeks out for travel between October and March — expect ₹ 6,000–₹ 10,000. As of June 2026, fares in the post-monsoon shoulder (September–October) are among the lowest of the year. Setting a price alert on flightgpt.in is useful for this route because limited island slots mean prices fluctuate sharply. Mid-week (Tue–Thu) departures from IXZ are reliably cheaper than Friday and Sunday returns.
Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is ≈ 3 km south of Port Blair city — one of the more convenient island airports in India. Auto-rickshaws and cabs reach the terminal in ≈ 10–15 minutes from Aberdeen Bazaar. The airport has a single integrated terminal handling both domestic and international operations. Security queues can be long during the December–March peak, so arrive at least 2 hours before departure. Note that Port Blair has entry permit rules for foreigners (RAP/PAP), though Indian nationals travel freely with standard ID. Some resort areas (Havelock, Neil Island) require a ferry back to Port Blair the night before a morning flight.
Standard domestic carry-on allowances apply: IndiGo allows 7 kg cabin + check-in add-on; Air India allows 15 kg check-in for Economy. As of June 2026, base fares on IndiGo do not include check-in baggage — add it at booking for best price. Andaman returnees often carry fragile souvenirs (shells, coral-derived crafts — note: live coral and some shells are legally protected, carry only what's sold at regulated shops). Pack those carefully in bubble wrap inside checked baggage. Dive equipment can usually be carried as oversized sports luggage for a surcharge — confirm with your airline at time of booking.
Kolkata's NSCBI Airport (CCU) sits ≈ 17 km north of central Kolkata. The Kolkata Metro Line 6 (Airport–New Garia corridor, also called the Blue Line extension) now provides a metro link from the airport. Otherwise, prepaid taxis start at ≈ ₹ 350 to Salt Lake / ₹ 500–₹ 700 to central Kolkata. App-cabs (Ola/Uber) are reliable and slightly cheaper off-peak. The arrivals hall at CCU has forex counters, ATMs and pre-paid taxi desks. Allow ≈ 45–60 minutes to reach Park Street or Esplanade by cab in normal traffic.
Indian nationals need only a standard government photo ID — Aadhaar, voter ID, passport, or driving licence — for this domestic sector. No Restricted Area Permit (RAP) is required to depart Port Blair; the RAP applies to inbound travel to some outer Andaman islands, not to IXZ itself. Foreigners flying out of Port Blair need their passport, valid Indian visa and any RAP/PAP they were granted on arrival. Keep your boarding pass accessible — IXZ conducts multiple security checkpoints. DigiYatra is not yet fully operational at Port Blair, so have your physical or digital ID ready at all points.
Most Andaman itineraries start and end in Port Blair, with ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep, ≈ 2h) and Neil Island (Sharon Dweep, ≈ 1.5h). A typical 5-night trip works as: fly Kolkata → Port Blair, ferry to Havelock for 2–3 nights (snorkelling, Radhanagar Beach), ferry back to Port Blair for a day (Cellular Jail sound-and-light show, Corbyn's Cove), then fly home. Always book the return Port Blair–Kolkata flight before making ferry bookings — limited island airline seats means flights sell out weeks ahead, whereas ferry tickets are easier to get closer to the date.
