There is no non-stop flight between Srinagar (Kashmir) and Port Blair / Sri Vijaya Puram (Andaman & Nicobar). The two airports sit at almost opposite corners of India — roughly 3,650 km apart — so every itinerary involves at least one stop. IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and Akasa Air all sell 1-stop fares, with the change of plane usually at Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai.
Delhi is the most common and often the fastest hub coming out of Srinagar. Chennai and Kolkata are the natural gateways into Port Blair because most Andaman flights originate there. The smoothest combinations pair a Srinagar–Delhi morning leg with an onward Delhi/Chennai–Port Blair flight; book it as a single through-ticket so your bags are checked all the way and you are protected if the first leg slips.
Plan for a long day. Pure flying time is around 6 to 7 hours, but with a realistic layover the door-to-door journey runs 8 to 12 hours. A common pattern is Srinagar–Delhi (≈ 1h 30m) then Delhi–Port Blair (≈ 5h, itself often via a brief south-Indian touchdown), or Srinagar–Chennai/Kolkata and onward.
Important Andaman rule: Port Blair's airport has operating-hour restrictions and most flights land by early afternoon. That means you almost always need to depart Srinagar very early, or break the journey overnight at the hub city. Same-day connections from Kashmir are tight — leave generous margins.
This is a long, premium-priced journey, and fares swing hard with the Andaman season.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak Andaman season) | Very high | Best island weather; highest fares, book early |
| Dec–Jan (Christmas/New Year) | Peak | Premium pricing; seats scarce |
| Mar–May (shoulder) | Moderate | Hot but workable; better fares |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Low | Cheapest, but rough seas affect ferries |
For a winter Andaman trip, book six to eight weeks ahead — both the long-haul connection and the limited Port Blair arrival slots fill up.
On a costly multi-leg route, the savings are in the planning:
Because Port Blair flights must arrive by early afternoon, the only realistic plan is an early-morning departure from Srinagar feeding a midday onward leg, or splitting the trip with an overnight at Delhi, Chennai or Kolkata. Avoid late-morning Srinagar departures — they will not connect onward the same day. Build in at least 2–3 hours at the hub to absorb any delay on the Kashmir leg.
Families and honeymooners: the most common Andaman travellers on this route. An overnight at the hub city is often kinder than a punishing dawn-to-dusk single-day journey, especially with children. Book the through-ticket early for winter.
Business and official travellers: rare on this sector, but if you must, the Delhi connection is usually quickest; keep the layover generous given the Kashmir leg's weather sensitivity.
Budget and student travellers: shoulder-season fares and a hub overnight (sometimes cheaper than a same-day through-fare) are the way to make this long trip affordable.
Srinagar (SXR): Sheikh ul-Alam International is a single-terminal airport with tight security typical of the region — expect thorough checks and arrive at least 2.5–3 hours before departure. There is also a hand-baggage tagging and identification step.
Port Blair (IXZ): Veer Savarkar International (in Sri Vijaya Puram, the renamed Port Blair) operates from a single, modern integrated terminal opened in 2023. It handles domestic flights and has operating-hour limits, which is why arrivals cluster in the morning and early afternoon.
Srinagar airport is about 14 km south of the city — a 30–45 minute drive; prepaid taxis are the norm, and security checks on the approach road can add time.
Veer Savarkar airport is only about 4 km from central Port Blair, a 10–15 minute drive. Taxis and autos are available outside. From the city you then connect onward to the islands: ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) leave from the Port Blair jetty, so factor the airport-to-jetty transfer and ferry timings into your first-day plan.
For Indian nationals, no permit is required to visit the main Andaman tourist islands — a normal government photo ID is enough for the domestic flight and entry. (Foreign nationals and certain restricted areas, such as parts of Nicobar, have separate rules.) Some specific islands and tribal-reserve zones remain off-limits or need special permission. Carry your ID for ferry boarding as well as the flights.
Most visitors do not linger in Port Blair — the headline beaches are on Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep). Government and private ferries run from the Port Blair jetty; the popular private catamarans should be booked in advance, especially in peak season. Sailings are mostly morning and midday, so an early Port Blair arrival lets you reach Havelock the same day. In the monsoon, rough seas can cancel ferries at short notice — keep your island schedule flexible.
Domestic economy is typically 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag, but allowances and the cheapest cabin-only fares vary by airline — check the carrier's page, for example IndiGo baggage. On a single through-ticket your bags are checked from Srinagar to Port Blair; on two separate tickets you must collect and re-check them at the hub, which needs extra connection time. Pack island essentials in cabin baggage in case checked bags are delayed on the long routing.
Kashmir and the Andamans are climatic opposites. Srinagar winters (Dec–Feb) are cold with fog and occasional snow that can delay morning departures — exactly when you need them for the onward connection, so track the weather. The Andamans are warm year-round; Oct–Feb is the dry, calm-sea peak, while Jun–Sep monsoon brings heavy rain and ferry disruption. Given the journey's length and the Port Blair arrival cut-off, build slack into both ends.
For a corner-to-corner trip like this, compare 1-stop options through all three hubs (Delhi, Chennai, Kolkata) and seriously weigh a planned overnight against a tight same-day connection — on the Andaman side, missing the early-afternoon arrival window can cost you a whole day.

No. There is no non-stop service. Every itinerary involves at least one stop, usually at Delhi, Kolkata or Chennai, across IndiGo, Air India, SpiceJet and Akasa Air.
Plan for 8 to 12 hours door-to-door including the layover. Pure flying time is around 6 to 7 hours over roughly 3,650 km, but the connection adds substantial ground time.
Delhi is the usual gateway out of Srinagar, while Chennai and Kolkata are the main entry points to Port Blair. Some itineraries route through more than one of these.
Port Blair's airport has operating-hour limits and most flights arrive by early afternoon. To connect the same day you need an early Srinagar departure; otherwise you break the journey overnight at the hub city.
No permit is needed for Indian nationals to visit the main tourist islands — a normal photo ID suffices. Some restricted and tribal-reserve areas (including parts of Nicobar) remain off-limits or need special permission. Foreign nationals have separate rules.
Book a single through-ticket where possible. Your baggage is checked all the way, and the airline protects you if the first leg is delayed. On separate tickets you must re-check bags at the hub and bear the risk of a missed connection yourself.
Yes. Under DGCA rules, an airline-initiated cancellation entitles you to a full refund or a free alternative. On a single through-ticket the carrier must also assist if a delay causes you to miss the connection.
Domestic economy is usually 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag, though the cheapest fares may be cabin-only. Check the airline's baggage page, such as IndiGo's. Pack island essentials in your cabin bag on this long routing.
Yes. On a through-ticket you can usually web check-in for both legs at once, around 48 hours before departure. On separate tickets you check in for each flight individually.
It can. Srinagar sees fog and occasional snow in December–February that delays morning departures — the very flights you need for an onward connection. Track the weather and keep the layover generous.
Mainly on the Andaman side. June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and rough seas, which disrupt inter-island ferries more than the flights. Keep your island schedule flexible if travelling then.
Some airlines allow pets in cabin or hold on domestic flights with advance approval, documents and fees, but a multi-leg journey like this is hard on animals and capacity is limited. Confirm with each carrier well ahead.
Yes, infants under two travel on a lap fare. Given the long day, plan feeds, sleep and a hub overnight if needed; carry the infant's age proof.
By ferry from the Port Blair jetty, about 4 km from the airport. Government and private ferries run mostly in the morning and midday; book the popular private catamarans ahead, especially in peak season.
For a multi-hub trip, fares are often similar but the airline's own site keeps the connection on one record and simplifies changes. If you use an OTA, ensure both legs are on a single itinerary, not two separate bookings.
