  • For the best chance at a low fare, aim to book around 17 weeks before you fly. On this route, that window historically saves about 17% versus last-minute pricing (KAYAK booking data, last 12 months).
  • If you can choose when to travel, plan your Brighton to Kolkata trip for May. Fares historically average £537 return in that month – typically £300 less than the most expensive month, which is December (based on the last 12 months).
  • If you're arriving late at night and need somewhere to stay, check out these hotels close to Kolkata Netaji S. Chandra Airport.

    • Ethnotel
  • London has six airports, but generally, only Heathrow Airport (LHR) or Gatwick Airport (LGW) will fly to Kolkata Airport (CCU) without airline changes. You can fly direct from Heathrow Airport to Kolkata Airport via Air India.
  • Heathrow has more flights and amenities, but its size and traffic mean longer queues than the more efficient Gatwick. Fast-track security access can be pre-booked at Heathrow for around £12.50
  • You can park for free for up to 2h at Heathrow and Gatwick’s long-stay car park. For longer-term parking, an external parking provider may be worth your consideration, as they can be up to four times cheaper than official airport parking, which is around £30 a day for Heathrow and £22 a day for Gatwick.
  • If you enjoy watching planes, Heathrow’s Gate 15 and 16 in Terminal 4 feature binoculars and a 270-degree view of the southern runway. If you enjoy reading, The London Evening Standard and popular magazines can be picked up for free at Gatwick via Green Bug Media pick-up points.
  • Kolkata Airport serves the Kolkata metropolitan area and is located 9.3 miles from the city centre. Journey times by car can range from 30min to over 1h 30min depending on traffic. Battery-operated golf carts may be hired from the terminal at the check in, arrival, and aerobridge corridors at Kolkata Airport for use by senior citizens and the less able-bodied.
  • If you are disabled or have a mobility issue, you can request assistance from your airline prior to your arrival at any of London’s airports. It’s highly recommended that you contact them at least 2 days before your flight, so they have time to make necessary arrangements.
  • As flights from London to Kolkata are relatively long, you might want to boost your comfort during the journey. You can use the search filters on KAYAK to search for cabin class. For example, Emirates provides First Class seating on flights from Stansted Airport (STN), Gatwick Airport (LGW) and Heathrow Airport (LHR). All these flights require a transfer at Dubai Airport (DXB).
