Travel Tips

Before you sail

1

Don't book your Port Blair flight the same morning as your Neil ferry — keep at least 4 hours buffer.

2

Fewer sailings run on this leg than the Havelock → Port Blair route, so book early.

3

Keep printed or screenshot e-tickets — jetty network on Neil can be patchy.

4

If weather's rough, Neil services are the first to be cancelled; monitor advisories during June–September.

5

Jetty security checks start 30 minutes before departure; boarding closes 15 minutes prior.
