Fares typically start around ₹7,500 one way and can rise to ₹18,000+ during peak holiday periods, school breaks, and last-minute bookings.

Brief history of this route
Route development
Lucknow and Port Blair are not traditionally linked by a large-volume nonstop market, mainly because Port Blair is an island destination and most traffic depends on connecting flights through major Indian hubs. As domestic aviation expanded in India, this city pair became more practical for leisure travelers, government travel, and families heading to the Andamans. Demand has grown steadily with better connectivity from Lucknow to hubs such as Kolkata, Chennai, and Bengaluru, which then feed onward services to Port Blair.
The route has benefited from the broader growth of tourism to the Andaman and Nicobar Islands. Port Blair is the primary air gateway to the islands, so even travelers from inland cities like Lucknow can now reach it with a single connection on many days.
Airlines operating today
Today, the route is typically sold as a connecting itinerary rather than a direct service. IndiGo is often the most common choice because of its network depth and frequent hub connections. Air India also appears on some combinations, especially where schedules align through mainland gateways. Depending on the travel date, passengers may also find mixed-carrier itineraries that combine one domestic segment with a separate onward leg to Port Blair.
Because flight availability can change by season, the best options are usually the ones that balance connection time, baggage rules, and total fare. For travelers planning island holidays, booking early often improves both price and seat choice.
