Chennai to Port Blair (Veer Savarkar International Airport) is served by direct flights on IndiGo, Air India, and SpiceJet, with a flight duration of approximately 2 hours. Booking 6 to 8 weeks in advance typically secures the best fares on this route.
IndiGo operates the highest frequency of direct flights from Chennai to Port Blair and is the most commonly booked airline among Tripstor's Chennai customers. Air India also operates direct services and allows a higher checked baggage allowance of 25 kg on select fares, which matters when carrying snorkelling gear or extra luggage for families.
Tuesday and Wednesday departures tend to be priced lower than weekend flights on this route. Arriving in Port Blair before noon gives you time to complete hotel check-in and reach the Aberdeen Jetty for an evening visit to Cellular Jail and the Light and Sound Show.
Chennai travellers choose Andaman because direct flights keep total travel time under 2.5 hours door-to-airport, making it one of the closest island destinations accessible from Tamil Nadu without a visa or foreign exchange requirement.
Andaman tour packages from Chennai are structured around six travel themes, each covering a different combination of islands, activities, and accommodation styles to match varied traveller needs and budgets.
October to May is the recommended travel window for Andaman from Chennai, with December to February offering the calmest sea conditions for ferry crossings between Port Blair, Havelock, and Neil Island.

Andaman and Lakshadweep are both Indian island destinations reachable from Chennai, but the two differ significantly in access, cost, and activity range for travellers planning a 2026 island holiday.
Andaman is accessible by direct flight from Chennai in 2 hours. Lakshadweep requires a flight to Kochi (approximately 1 hour from Chennai) and then an onward flight or ship to the islands, adding 1 to 2 travel days. Entry to Lakshadweep requires an entry permit for Indian nationals, which must be arranged in advance. Andaman requires no permit for Indian nationals visiting the main islands. Andaman packages from Chennai start at Rs.16,999 per person. Lakshadweep packages typically start above Rs.30,000 per person due to limited accommodation inventory and regulated tourist capacity. Andaman offers a wider range of activities including scuba diving at sites like Lighthouse Reef, trekking, and historical sightseeing at Cellular Jail. Lakshadweep is suited to travellers whose primary interest is lagoon swimming and a quieter, low-footprint stay.
Chennai travellers planning an Andaman holiday in 2026 should note four practical points covering airlines, entry rules, money, and arrival logistics before confirming their booking.

CoupleNorway is expensive but the experience is worth planning for. We did the Flam Railway and the Sognefjord on Day 5. Tripstor gave us a realistic budget breakdown before we booked, which I appreciated. No surprises on the ground.
HoneymoonHoneymooned in Kashmir for 7 nights in May. Gulmarg had light snow still and we got a gondola ride on Day 4. The tulip garden in Srinagar was in full bloom. Tripstor arranged a candlelit dinner on the houseboat which was a nice touch.
FriendsThree friends and I did a 9-night Australia package with stops in Melbourne and Sydney. We spent an afternoon at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and caught a local match. Tripstor sorted our group visa applications together which saved a lot of back and forth. Good experience overall.
