- 5 hr direct; 7–9 hr via a connection
- Fare band

Put these ferries into a full itineraryDelhi to Andaman — frequently asked questions
How long does it take to fly from Delhi to Port Blair?
About 5 hours on a seasonal direct, or 7–9 hours via a Chennai or Kolkata connection. Arrivals land between 11:00 and 14:00.
Can I go to Havelock on the day I land from Delhi?
No. Delhi arrivals miss the afternoon catamaran window. Spend day one on Cellular Jail and the light & sound show, then take the morning ferry to Havelock on day two.
How many days should a Delhi traveller plan for the Andamans?
Six nights and seven days. The sector is long enough that a 5N trip loses too much of the holiday to travel; 6N gives you Port Blair, Havelock and Neil without rushing ferries.
