The retiring rooms and dormitories inside the airport are reserved for passengers in transit; however, there are several options nearby: the Holiday Inn Express Kolkata Airport is about 0.5 miles away from the international terminal, while Hotel Airways and Airport City Hotel are both less than a mile away with shuttle services (free at Airport City Hotel).

The airport has a train station, but Dum Dum Junction (3 miles from the airport) is the more useful station, as it is the main hub for the Kolkata metro.
