FAQs for booking flights from London to Kolkata

  • Which London airport is easier to get to?

    Heathrow Airport is closer to the city centre, and the London Underground has a direct connection to Heathrow’s terminals. The Heathrow Express and Heathrow Connect trains will take roughly 15min and 30min respectively from Paddington Station. Gatwick, located halfway between London and Brighton, might be a good option if you’re travelling from south London or the south of England. If coming from the city centre, a roughly 30min express train from Victoria Station is available, as well as coaches, which take more than an hour but are a much cheaper option.

  • Are there onsite hotels at Kolkata Airport?

    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).

KAYAK’s top tips for finding a cheap flight from London to Kolkata

  • 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.

The quality of food is going down comparing with old history of excellent food. It was cold and a bad quality. The crew is always excellent and caring.

Great flight - Clubhouse met our needs, and the staff provided good service. Boarding felt a little chaotic, but given the size of the aircraft, it's always going to be challenging. Whilst the crew were friendly, the number of passengers meant that we received our breakfast items, but had finished breakfast before we were served a drink. Lunch was much better organised, and throughout the flight, the crew were attentive. Found the seats and ICE to be excellent. Disembarkation was fine, and everything possible to expedite the process was being done.

The seating is spaced out nicely, The crew could have offer more drinks.

Excellent comfort and entertainment. Service poor..Food average with little choice.

Comfort good. Service as usual poor. Cabin temperature as usual too cold, about 15 degrees

Fresh energetic and friendly crew, great food, brand new plane and non stop entertainment

The boarding experience was worst ever. Single aerobridge used for boarding and deboarding which led to lot of chaos. Food options were not great. First flight delayed by more than 3 hours which led to missing of the next flight we were stuck at Dubai airport by more than 6 hours

Superb check in, lounge, boarding and flight experience. On time departure and before time arrival. Couldn’t have asked for more

Flights were both delayed. No luggage on arrival for the whole plane and no contact since submitting a PIR.

They had superb boarding (started an hour before flight time). Timely pushback from them gate and an early arrival. Flight and service was very comfortable. I wanted to move my flight to an earlier one, only thing was there was no one at emirates in Heathrow to help. Had to call the call the center and pay to change. There were ample seats on the flight though

They lost the baggage and said it was deleted from the system. I had baggage tag so was able to file the complaint but there was no PIR number and update so far

I booked tickets for a family of five and specifically paid extra to select our seats together. We spent nearly $1,000 extra (around $100 per seat) for extra legroom so we could sit near each other. However, despite paying for this, we ended up being separated on the flight. This caused a major issue for our family because my parents do not speak English and rely on me to translate and assist them during the journey. I do not understand why Etihad changed our reserved seats without explanation. I am extremely dissatisfied with this experience. I expect the airline to do better, and I am requesting a full refund for the seat selection fees we paid.

1 hour delay meant missed my connecting flight and 1st day of holiday

Good service. But on flight to Kochi no entertainment except in app. And no working outlets to charge phone.

Was so disappointing. Business class with no TV, uncomfortable seats. Had much higher expectations.

Etihad Check In counter/Station manager in Heathrow was bothering and not helpful at all. They are rude and not customer oriented

I am a larger than average person and in my opinion i don't think it's fair to allocate a window seat to anyone who is my size or larger, i was seated between 2 large passengers on a full aircraft. The guy in the window seat also occupied a portion of the middle seat (my seat) which made my experience of flying with etihad very cramped and uncomfortable, i was flying from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok. Had this been a airbus 380 it would have been better as the seats are larger but unfortunately it wasn't so i had to endure the 6+hrs unable to get any rest

Only 1 time food and drinks together was offered, for total 5 hours duration drinks and snacks was never offered. For some people food choice was not available, only veg was available. No entertainment option was there. Crew members were mostly back of the flight asking each other for KitKat and chips to share between them.

The business class experience is fantastic. The crew were polite but often unavailable even when I tried to call them! I even found myself bringing my used dishes and cutlery up to the crew because no one had come to collect it after over an hour.

Very very bad service very tight seats never ever flying with Etihad again
