Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) is Kolkata’s main international gateway and typically functions as the city’s premium hub for both long-haul and domestic flights. Major full-service carriers and several international airlines operate here alongside a number of domestic and low-cost carriers, so fares can range from budget-friendly to higher-end depending on carrier and schedule. The airport lies about 17–20 km from the city center; travel options include prepaid taxis or ride-hailing (roughly 30–60 minutes depending on traffic), airport buses and limited metro connections with fares usually low to moderate. Pros: modern terminals with varied amenities and strong international connectivity. Cons: traffic to/from central Kolkata can add time, and peak periods may feel crowded.
Varanasi’s Lal Bahadur Shastri Airport (VNS) functions mainly as a regional and domestic gateway with a growing number of limited international connections; it typically handles full-service carriers and regional budget airlines, so fares can be competitive for nearby cities and slightly higher for nonstop international flights. The airport sits about 25–30 km west of Varanasi’s old city/ghats; travel to the center usually takes 45–60 minutes by taxi or app cab, with fares generally in the low hundreds of rupees, while local buses and shared autos offer lower-cost but slower transfers. Pros include a compact terminal and straightforward arrivals; cons are limited late-night services and fewer lounge or shopping options compared with larger Indian hubs.
