Airlines flying Pune to Port Blair

Cheapest time to fly & book
Port Blair sees peak tourist traffic from November through February when the Andaman weather is dry and pleasant. Fares spike around Christmas, New Year, and Diwali. The monsoon months (June–September) bring the lowest fares, though some water activities and island ferries may be limited. Booking ≈ 3–6 weeks ahead typically yields the best prices. Midweek departures (Tuesday, Wednesday) tend to be ≈ 10–15% cheaper than weekend flights.
Flight duration & routing
The fastest one-stop connections via Chennai take ≈ 5–5.5 hours including a short layover. Via Kolkata, expect ≈ 6–7 hours door-to-door. Pune to Chennai is ≈ 1h 40m, and Chennai to Port Blair adds ≈ 2h 40m, so the layover duration determines your total trip time. A few itineraries route through Bengaluru (BLR) as well, but these are less frequent. There are no red-eye options on this route — most departures are morning or early afternoon.
Baggage & fares
Low-cost carriers like IndiGo and Akasa include ≈ 15 kg checked baggage on most connecting bookings, though the cheapest Saver fares may exclude it — check at booking.

If you're carrying diving or snorkelling gear, consider upgrading your baggage allowance at the time of booking rather than paying excess charges at the airport.
Airports & terminals
Pune's airport (PNQ) operates from a single terminal shared by domestic and international flights. It's compact and well-connected to the city centre, about 10 km from Pune Camp. Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) is ≈ 4 km south of the city. It handles both mainland domestic flights and the occasional international charter. Pre-paid taxis and auto-rickshaws are available right outside arrivals. From the airport, the Aberdeen Bazaar area is a ≈ 15-minute drive.
Do you need any documents?
Indian nationals need a valid government photo ID — Aadhaar, passport, or voter ID — for domestic flights. No visa or permit is required for most of the Andaman Islands, but a Restricted Area Permit (RAP) is needed for certain remote islands and tribal reserves; this is usually stamped free on arrival at IXZ. DigiYatra enrolment at PNQ can speed up security. If you plan to visit Nicobar or specific tribal areas, apply for the RAP separately before departure.
