It is better to avoid multi-stop airways as although the rates will be lower, the time it will take to reach the first destination is more than 13 hours. There are almost 31 flights going to Port Blair from Kolkata including multi-stop and direct ones.

Go By Water

The long time wishes to conduct a voyage can be fulfilled by opting a passenger ship service from Kolkata Port to Port Blair owing to the presence of direct ships to Andaman. Kolkata, even being one of the fewer destinations for a voyage to the Andaman Islands, the vessels, MV Nicobar and MV Akbar will take more time span compared to ships from other destinations. Voyagers will have to spend nearly 66 -70 hours i.e., more than 2 days in the ship before reaching the island.

Bookings must be done about 15 hours prior to travel and weather conditions can affect the commencement of the voyage.
