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.
Madrid is Spain's energetic capital, a major centre of European culture, art, music and dance.
Discover the city's cosmopolitan vibe and rich artistic heritage. Madrid is famous for its world-class art collections, including the renowned "Museum Triangle" which houses some of the most important galleries in Europe. At the very heart of the city, Puerta del Sol is a bustling piazza and the central transport hub that hosts many public festivals throughout the year. The surrounding architecture showcases a superb blend of Moorish, Renaissance and Gothic influences. Be sure to explore the vast Palacio Real, or Royal Palace, which, while the official residence of the King, is now mainly used for ceremonial duties. A tour through its magnificent galleries will give you a deeper understanding of centuries of Spanish history.
