London Kolkata from £429

Depending on your choice of airline, your airport of departure will be London Heathrow, Gatwick, or London City. These airports are easily accessed from the central city by train, bus, and local taxi services. As there are currently no direct flights from London to Kolkata, you will require at least one change. Your connecting city will depend largely on your chosen airline, for example you have the option of a flight to Mumbai or Delhi with Air India. Make certain to compare carriers online to maximise your chances of getting a cheap flight to Kolkata. Your flight will arrive at the local Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport, which is approximately eleven miles from the city centre. For onward travel to the city, there is a rail service that runs from the airport to the nearby station in Dum Dum. However, the service is relatively new and departures are intermittent. A more reliable option is the airport bus service, which is comfortable, air-conditioned and cheaper than the local taxi services. Visitors can find these buses departing from outside the main terminal building.
