Flights to Andaman in 2026: How to Find the Best Deals to Port Blair

Hi, If you are planning an Andaman trip in 2026, your first big question is usually: “What’s the best way to reach Andaman by flight, and how do I get the cheapest tickets to Port Blair?”

Almost all tourists flying to Andaman land at Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ) in Port Blair, the capital of the Andaman & Nicobar Islands. This is the only commercial airport and the gateway to popular islands like Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) and Neil (Shaheed Dweep).

This guide will walk you through which cities have direct flights to Port Blair, the best time to book flights to Andaman, average airfares, and smart tips to save money—so you can plan your holiday without blowing your budget.

Which Indian Cities Have Direct Flights to Port Blair?

Port Blair is now well-connected to major Indian metros through non-stop and one-stop flights operated by airlines like IndiGo, Air India, Air India Express, Akasa Air and others.

As of 2026, you can find direct flights to Port Blair (IXZ) from:

• Chennai – One of the busiest and most popular gateways with multiple daily direct flights.

• Kolkata – Strong connectivity and often competitive fares, especially outside peak season.

• Bengaluru – Non-stop flights operated on several days of the week.

• New Delhi (Delhi) – Longest domestic route to Andaman with direct flights by full-service and low-cost carriers on select days.

• Hyderabad – Seasonal direct flights, especially around summer holidays.

• Mumbai, Visakhapatnam and others – Typically via one-stop or limited direct options depending on the season and airline schedules.
  

Most flights arrive in Port Blair between morning and early afternoon, which is ideal if you plan to catch a same-day ferry to Havelock or Neil Island.

Best Time to Book Flights to Andaman (Port Blair)

Airfares to Andaman can fluctuate a lot based on season, how early you book, and which day you fly.

Peak Season (October to March)

• This is the best time to visit Andaman: pleasant weather, calm seas, and perfect for water sports and island hopping.

• Demand is high, so flight prices go up, especially around Christmas, New Year, and long weekends.

• For this window, it is smart to book flights 2–3 months in advance to get reasonable fares and better choice of timings.
  

Shoulder & Monsoon Season (April to September)

• April–June is warmer but still popular for families and honeymooners; you may find slightly better deals than peak winter.

• July–August are typically cheapest months to fly to Port Blair, as this is considered off-season and monsoon rains keep many tourists away.

• If you are comfortable with light rain and flexible plans, you can get significantly lower fares and less crowded attractions in these months.
  

How Early Should You Book?

Most fare-tracking analyses show that booking a few weeks to a couple of months in advance usually gives you better prices than booking last minute.

• For peak season: aim for 60–90 days before travel.

• For off-season: even 3–4 weeks ahead can get you good deals.
  

Typical Flight Prices to Port Blair in 2026

Actual fares will vary by date, airline, and how early you book, but recent data suggests approximate one-way prices like:

• From Chennai / Kolkata:

  • Often start around ₹5,000–₹7,000 in off-season, rising to ₹8,000–₹12,000+ in peak season.
    

• From Bengaluru / Hyderabad / Visakhapatnam:

  • Usually in the ₹7,000–₹12,000 range, depending on dates and sales.
    

• From Delhi / Mumbai:

  • Longer routes often cost ₹10,000–₹18,000+ one way in standard economy, especially around holidays.
    

Round-trip prices can be 20–40% cheaper per leg when you catch an airline sale or book a few months early.

Smart Tips to Find Cheap Flights to Andaman

If you are trying to keep your Andaman trip cost under control, your flights are one of the best places to save. Here are some practical tips based on fare trends:

1. Be Flexible with Dates and Airports

• Flying mid-week (Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday) often gives lower fares than weekends when demand is higher.
  

• If you live near multiple metros (for example, between Bengaluru and Chennai), compare flights from different departure cities—sometimes a short train or bus ride to a nearby airport + flight can be cheaper than flying directly from your home city.
  

2. Avoid Last-Minute Bookings in Peak Season

• For travel in December, January, or around long weekends, last-minute fares can jump dramatically.

• Combine early flight booking with early ferry and hotel booking to lock in better overall prices.

3. Watch Airline Sales & Use Fare Alerts

• Airlines and OTAs often run limited-time sales on routes like Delhi–Port Blair, Chennai–Port Blair, and Kolkata–Port Blair.

• Use fare alert tools or price-tracking apps so you get a notification when tickets drop for your dates.
  

4. Choose the Right Time of Day

• Data shows that evening departures can sometimes be cheaper than morning flights to Port Blair, depending on the route.

• However, if you need to connect to a same-day ferry from Port Blair to Havelock or Neil, choose a morning arrival even if it costs a bit more—missing a ferry can be more expensive and stressful than paying a slightly higher airfare.

What to Expect at Veer Savarkar International Airport (Port Blair)

When your flight lands in Andaman, you will arrive at Veer Savarkar International Airport (IXZ), located just about 2 km from Port Blair city centre.

The airport is compact but functional, handling all domestic arrivals and departures with:

• Basic food and beverage options.

• Pre‑paid taxis and local cabs for hotel transfers.

• Limited seating and waiting areas compared to big metros, so it is a good idea not to arrive extremely early for your departure.

During peak hours (usually morning to midday), the airport can get crowded with multiple flights landing around the same time. It is wise to:

• Keep your ferry and cab bookings pre‑arranged, so you can exit quickly and move towards your next leg of the journey.

• Keep all printouts / digital copies of your tickets handy for security checks and hotel check-in.
