How to Save 20-30% on Your Andaman Trip
- Book flights 60+ days in advance. Airlines nearly double prices in the last 2 weeks.
- Travel in shoulder season (mid-October, February, mid-March). Same weather, 30% cheaper.
- Book a package instead of DIY. Tour operators like us get bulk-rate hotel and ferry pricing you can't access directly. Our packages start at ₹15,999 per person.
- Fly into Kolkata first if you're from North India. Kolkata–Port Blair flights are 40% cheaper than direct Delhi/Mumbai flights.
- Avoid taxis for short distances. Autos in Port Blair are metered and 5x cheaper.
Hidden Costs Most Travellers Forget
- Port fees at each island: ₹50–100/person
- Baggage overweight fees on flights (Andaman connections are strict)
- Airport parking if driving to your home airport
- Travel insurance (highly recommended, ₹500–1000/trip)
