How to spend less on your flight to Kolkata

A handful of simple checks can help you cut the cost of your trip to Kolkata:

  • Flexible dates: look at a few different departure days before you decide. Flying a day earlier or later can sometimes make a real difference to the price.
  • Nearby airports: it's worth weighing up the alternatives. A smaller airport not too far from Kolkata might be cheaper to fly into than the main one.
  • Baggage: check what's included with each fare before you confirm. Knowing your allowance ahead of time means no nasty surprises at the airport.

Before you set off, double-check India's entry requirements and leave yourself plenty of time to get your paperwork in order.

Don't forget that adding a hotel to your booking unlocks exclusive discounts on your stay. You can add car hire to the same booking too, and you may find further savings by bundling it with your flights and accommodation.
