Airlines flying Kolkata to Amritsar
IndiGo typically runs ≈ 1–2 daily non-stops, with Air India and SpiceJet adding services on high-demand days. Block time is ≈ 2h 50m on A320 or B737 jets. Some itineraries connect through Delhi, adding 2–3 hours — worthwhile only if the non-stop sells out or if the fare differential is large. Direct frequency may increase seasonally around Gurpurab and Baisakhi.
Cheapest time to fly and book
Fares peak around Baisakhi (April), Gurpurab (November), Diwali and the December holiday season. The quieter months of January–February, March (post-Holi) and July–August offer softer pricing. Booking 2–4 weeks ahead is advisable given the limited non-stop frequency — waiting too long risks losing the direct flights to full loads.
Flight duration and routing
Non-stops cover ≈ 1,700 km in about 2 hours 50 minutes, heading northwest across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh and into Punjab. One-stop options via Delhi add a layover and bring total time to ≈ 5–6 hours. Given that non-stops can sell out quickly on this relatively thin route, book early if a direct flight is important to your schedule.
Baggage and fares
IndiGo and SpiceJet sell checked baggage separately on their base fares; the standard 15 kg domestic add-on applies. Air India includes 15–25 kg depending on booking class. Indicative fares are live on FlightGPT as of May 2026. Travellers returning with Amritsari phulkari textiles or dry fruits should pre-book extra checked weight to avoid airport surcharges.
Airports and terminals
Departures from Kolkata use the single integrated terminal at CCU. Amritsar arrivals land at Sri Guru Ram Dass Jee International Airport (ATQ), about 11 km northwest of the city centre and ≈ 13 km from the Golden Temple. Prepaid taxis and auto-rickshaws connect ATQ to the Walled City and railway station in ≈ 20–30 minutes.
