There is no non-stop flight between Trivandrum (TRV) and Port Blair (IXZ), and there won't be one any time soon — Port Blair's Veer Savarkar International handles daytime arrivals only and sits a long way out in the Bay of Bengal. So every TRV–IXZ trip connects once.
The cleanest hub is Chennai (MAA), the busiest gateway to the Andamans, with the most frequent onward flights to Port Blair. Bengaluru (BLR) and Kolkata (CCU) also work. IndiGo offers the widest network; Air India and Air India Express connect too. Go First and Jet Airways are defunct, and Vistara is now part of Air India.
IndiGo is the mainstay both on the TRV–hub leg and the hub–IXZ leg, which makes it easy to keep the whole journey on one carrier and one ticket. Air India and Air India Express provide alternatives, especially via Chennai. Whichever you choose, book the two legs as a single through-ticket so your bags check through and the airline protects the connection.
The distance is about 1,900 km and you must change planes, so plan for roughly 5 to 8 hours door to door depending on the layover. Via Chennai the connection can be tight and efficient; via Bengaluru or Kolkata it's often longer. Because Port Blair accepts only daytime arrivals, the practical departures from Trivandrum are early — an early start is the price of reaching the islands in one day.
Port Blair's airport has a single, modern terminal opened to handle the islands' growing tourist traffic. It's compact and quick to clear. Mobile signal is patchy on the islands and BSNL/Airtel work best; download maps and booking confirmations before you land. Pre-paid taxis and hotel transfers are the usual way into town, a short drive away.
Indian nationals do not need a permit to visit Port Blair and the main tourist islands — just a valid government photo ID (Aadhaar, passport, voter ID or driving licence). You don't need a passport. Some tribal and protected areas remain restricted and off-limits, and foreign nationals have separate registration rules. For ordinary Indian tourists, your flight ID is enough.
The Andamans are a year-round destination, but the sea and weather are calmest from roughly October to May.
| Period | Demand | What to expect |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (peak) | High | Best weather and calm seas; book well ahead, especially around New Year |
| Mar–May (shoulder) | Moderate | Warm but good for water activities; steadier fares |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Low | Rain and rough seas can disrupt ferries; cheapest fares |

On this long connecting route:
Because Port Blair takes only daytime arrivals, the workable itineraries start early in the day from Trivandrum. An early-morning departure and a smooth Chennai connection get you to the islands by afternoon with time to reach your hotel before dark. Avoid late starts — they tend to require an overnight at the hub.
On a single through-ticket your bags are checked all the way to Port Blair and you collect them only on arrival. IndiGo gives 7 kg cabin baggage, with checked allowance set by your fare — the lowest fare includes none, so add it online; see our IndiGo baggage guide. If you accidentally book two separate tickets, you'll re-check bags at the hub, which risks the connection — keep it one ticket.
Most travellers base in Port Blair, then move to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep) by government and private ferries. Book those ferries in advance, as they sell out in peak season and can be cancelled in rough monsoon seas. Carry cash, since cards and ATMs are unreliable on the smaller islands, and keep your ID handy for island registration points.
The Chennai connection is almost always the smartest TRV–IXZ routing. Use FlightGPT to find an early single through-ticket via Chennai, then book your inter-island ferries the same day so the whole trip is locked before peak-season seats vanish.
