Kolkata Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) offers you a high-quality passenger experience as you begin your journey from Eastern India’s largest airport. We recommend allowing at least two hours before departure to complete check-in and customs clearance at the International Concourse.
Travelling to the airport is straightforward. While the old train service is being upgraded, reliable transport options include shuttle buses, which are plentiful and air conditioned, or pre-paid Yellow Taxis for fair pricing. The expanding Metro system also runs until 10 pm, and the overground track operates until 6:30 pm via Dum Dum Junction. Car parking is currently limited, so plan your drop-off accordingly.
Before your flight, enjoy the airport’s modern amenities. You have access to three available lounges for relaxation. Public areas provide Wi-Fi access, with the first 30 minutes free, alongside several Internet cafés. Food vendors offer a good choice of light refreshments, including the ubiquitous chai, and both local Indian and international cuisine. For last-minute gifts or accessories, you can explore a range of retail outlets selling quality local goods and high-end perfumes and leather goods.
Baku is a dynamic metropolis where rich history meets bold, modern architecture on the coast of the Caspian Sea. As the capital of Azerbaijan, it boasts a unique combination of Asian and European cultures.
