There’s no airport on Havelock (officially Swaraj Dweep), so every traveler routes through Port Blair first, then crosses about 70 km of the Bay of Bengal — roughly 90 minutes on a fast catamaran. This guide walks both legs: the flight in, the four ferry operators, current 2026 fares, and the same-day timing traps that strand people.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The short version:\u003C/strong>\u003C/p>\n\u003Cul>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Step 1:\u003C/strong> Fly into Port Blair — Veer Savarkar International Airport (code IXZ)\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>Step 2:\u003C/strong> Ferry to Havelock — Rs 1,100–3,400 on private operators, ~90 min, up to 16 daily departures\u003C/li>\n\u003Cli>\u003Cstrong>No shortcut exists:\u003C/strong> no flights, trains, or bridges reach Havelock.

Every route runs through Port Blair, the Andaman capital, and then a ferry covers the final 70 km. Plan it as two legs — air to Port Blair, water to Havelock — and the whole thing gets simple.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>That second leg matters more than most people expect.

Direct flights run from \u003Cstrong>Chennai\u003C/strong> (~2 hrs, the shortest hop), \u003Cstrong>Kolkata\u003C/strong> (~2 hrs), \u003Cstrong>Bengaluru\u003C/strong>, \u003Cstrong>Delhi\u003C/strong>, and \u003Cstrong>Hyderabad\u003C/strong>, with seasonal connections from Mumbai and Visakhapatnam. Most cities route via Chennai or Kolkata.\u003C/p>\n\u003Cp>Book the \u003Cstrong>earliest flight you can\u003C/strong>. Andaman’s ferries are all daytime sailings, and flights occasionally get brought forward or delayed without much warning — a morning landing gives you room to catch a same-day ferry.
