Republic Day falls on Tuesday, January 26 next year. Take Monday off and you get four days, Saturday to Tuesday. For couples in Bengaluru or Chennai, Havelock is an obvious pick.
The catch in the easy flight. The Saturday flight that looks most convenient often lands in Port Blair in the afternoon. Private ferries to Havelock (Swaraj Dweep) leave Haddo Jetty roughly between 6 AM and 2 PM, and you need time for bags, the drive to the jetty and check-in. Land much after noon and the first night you paid for on the beach is spent in Port Blair instead. On a four-day trip, that's a quarter of it.
The questions worth asking first. What time does this flight actually land, and which ferry can we realistically make? Is that ferry still open for booking, given that everyone else has the same four days? If we fly back on Tuesday, are we putting a ferry and a flight on the same day with no buffer, when a night in Port Blair on Monday would remove that risk? And is the early morning flight really pricier, or just less obvious?
Where SearchSpot fits. Tell it the dates, who's going and where you're flying from. It asks follow-ups like these before suggesting anything, then checks the flight, the ferry and the stay as one trip, with a human team behind the AI, and shows what's still uncertain.
Why it won't just show you the first fare. SearchSpot puts you before commissions. It isn't pushing a particular airline or resort, so its job is the best value for the whole trip, wherever and whenever it's found.
Before you book the Saturday flight, ask SearchSpot whether it still gets you onto a ferry that day.
