Airlines flying Varanasi to Port Blair

The VNS–CCU leg takes ≈ 1h 30m, followed by ≈ 2h 30m CCU–IXZ. Connections via Chennai (MAA) are also viable but involve a longer first leg. Total journey time depends heavily on the layover window at the hub city.
Cheapest time to fly and book
Port Blair's peak tourist season is October–May, when seas are calm and diving conditions are ideal. Monsoon months (June–September) see fewer visitors and lower fares, though some island activities shut down. Booking ≈ 5–8 weeks ahead is recommended, as the CCU/MAA–IXZ leg fills quickly during holiday weekends. Avoid Christmas–New Year and Diwali for the best pricing.
Flight duration and routing
Via Kolkata the journey totals ≈ 5–6h with a brisk layover, making it the fastest option. The Chennai routing stretches to ≈ 6–8h, sometimes longer if connection times are loose. A Delhi connection is possible but adds significant backtracking and is rarely worthwhile. Port Blair's IXZ airport has limited evening slots, so most arrivals are scheduled by mid-afternoon.

IndiGo includes 15 kg checked baggage on domestic economy fares; Air India allows 25 kg. Cabin baggage is 7 kg. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026; economy one-way tickets for the combined routing typically start from ≈ ₹5,500–10,000 depending on season and connection choice.
Airports and terminals
Flights depart from Varanasi's Lal Bahadur Shastri International Airport (VNS). The connection at Kolkata uses Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), where domestic transfers stay within the same terminal complex. In Port Blair, you arrive at Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), located just ≈ 4 km south of the town centre. Auto-rickshaws and pre-paid taxis are available outside arrivals.
Do you need any documents?
No passport or visa is needed — the Andaman and Nicobar Islands are Indian territory. Carry a government-issued photo ID. On arrival at IXZ, Indian tourists must fill out a brief registration form at the airport counter. Restricted islands (Nicobar group, some tribal reserves) require additional permits from the Deputy Commissioner's office in Port Blair. DigiYatra is available at VNS and CCU.
