Kolkata to Bangalore is a busy trunk route with plenty of non-stop choice. IndiGo runs the most frequent service, and you will also find Air India, Akasa Air and Air India Express flying the sector non-stop. SpiceJet appears occasionally as a connecting carrier. Go First and Jet Airways no longer operate, and Vistara has merged into Air India, so ignore older listings that still show them.
With well over a dozen non-stop departures spread from early morning to late night, you can usually find a flight to suit your plans without resorting to a connection. Connecting itineraries via Hyderabad or Chennai exist but rarely make sense on a route this well served.
The great-circle distance is roughly 1,560 km. A non-stop flight is scheduled at about 2h 35m gate to gate, though actual airborne time is often a little under that with favourable winds. Flights track south-west across the Deccan plateau before descending into Bengaluru.
Both cities sit on Indian Standard Time, so there is no clock change to plan around. A 06:00 departure from Kolkata typically has you landing in Bengaluru well before 09:00.
This is primarily a business and IT-corridor route, so weekday morning and evening flights carry the firmest fares. Booking two to four weeks ahead generally lands you a reasonable price; leaving it to the last few days on a Monday or Friday is where fares climb hardest.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Oct–Feb (Durga Puja, year-end) | High | Book 3–6 weeks out; Puja week peaks sharply |
| Mar–May | Moderate | Mid-week deals appear; avoid Fri/Mon peaks |
| Jun–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Best value, but build in delay buffers |
Fares are illustrative of demand only — always check live prices on FlightGPT for your dates.
A few habits help on this sector. Compare the early-morning and late-night IndiGo and Akasa departures, which are usually the cheapest of the day. Fly Tuesday or Wednesday where you can. Travelling hand-baggage-only on a short two-and-a-half-hour hop lets you pick the lowest fare bucket without paying for checked bags. Finally, set a fare alert rather than refreshing manually — prices on a high-frequency route like this move several times a day.
The 05:00–08:00 bank suits same-day business meetings in Bengaluru and tends to run on time before afternoon congestion builds. Mid-morning departures are calmer and often cheaper. The late-evening flights after 21:00 are popular with returning professionals and can be good value, but they leave little slack if there is a delay. Bengaluru's afternoon weather in the monsoon can cause holding, so a morning slot is the safer bet in June–September.
Business: a morning non-stop with hand baggage only keeps you nimble; full-service Air India earns loyalty points if that matters to you. Families: mid-morning flights are calmer and let you avoid a pre-dawn start with children; book seats together early. Students: the cheapest fares are almost always the early-morning or late-night IndiGo/Akasa departures booked a few weeks ahead — genuinely the best way to save, with no checked bag.
You depart from Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), which has a single integrated terminal handling all domestic and international flights — no terminal confusion at the Kolkata end.
At Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (BLR), the terminal depends on your airline. IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1; Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 2. Check your boarding pass, especially on the return leg, as the two terminals are a short shuttle apart.
In Kolkata, NSCBI is around 16 km from the city centre; pre-paid taxis and app cabs are the usual choice, and the airport's metro link has been progressively extended to ease the run from central Kolkata.
Bengaluru's airport sits about 35–40 km north of the city at Devanahalli, so allow plenty of time — traffic on the Outer Ring Road and NH 44 can be heavy. The KIAS Vayu Vajra airport buses, app cabs and the new airport metro line are all options; for a fixed cost, the Vayu Vajra coaches are reliable.
On domestic economy, the typical free checked allowance is 15 kg with one 7 kg cabin bag. Air India usually allows 15 kg checked on domestic economy, while IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express bundle baggage by fare type, so the cheapest fares may include cabin only. Confirm before you book — see IndiGo baggage for the current rules. Excess weight is far cheaper added online ahead of time than paid at the airport counter.
Kolkata is hot and humid much of the year, with a strong monsoon from June to September; Bengaluru is milder and pleasant year-round thanks to its elevation, though it too sees monsoon showers. Pack a light layer for Bengaluru evenings. If you are flying in the monsoon, a morning departure reduces your exposure to afternoon thunderstorm delays at the Bengaluru end.
Because this route runs more than a dozen times a day, fares swing a lot through the day. Set a price alert on FlightGPT and book when the early-morning or late-night non-stop dips — you will usually beat the mid-day peak by a clear margin.
Yes. IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air and Air India Express all fly the sector non-stop, with roughly 13–18 direct departures a day spread from early morning to late night.
About 2h 35m gate to gate on a non-stop service, covering a great-circle distance of around 1,560 km.
It depends on the airline. IndiGo, Akasa Air and SpiceJet use Terminal 1; Air India and Air India Express use Terminal 2. Check your boarding pass before heading to the airport.
Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport has a single integrated terminal for all flights, so there is no terminal to choose at the Kolkata end.
The early-morning and late-night IndiGo and Akasa departures, booked a few weeks ahead and travelling hand-baggage-only, are usually the lowest fares.
Domestic economy typically gives 15 kg checked plus a 7 kg cabin bag, but the cheapest IndiGo, Akasa and Air India Express fares may bundle baggage separately. Check your fare's inclusions before booking.
Yes. All carriers on this route open web check-in, usually from 48 hours up to about 60–90 minutes before departure, and it lets you pick your seat and skip the counter if you have only cabin baggage.
Kolkata's monsoon (June–September) and Bengaluru's afternoon thunderstorms can cause delays. A morning departure reduces your exposure to weather holding at the Bengaluru end.
Under DGCA rules, if the airline cancels your flight you are entitled to a full refund or an alternative flight. If they cannot accommodate you on a comparable service, a refund of the full fare applies.
No. Both cities are on Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30), so there is no clock change.
Some carriers permit small pets in the cabin or hold on domestic flights subject to advance booking, health certificates and weight limits. Policies vary, so contact the airline well ahead — do not turn up without prior approval.
Yes. Infants under two travel on an adult's lap for a nominal fare plus taxes. Carry the infant's age proof, and request a bassinet seat in advance on the longer non-stops if you need one.
Booking direct can simplify changes and refunds, while a metasearch like FlightGPT lets you compare every airline's live price at once and then book through whichever channel is cheapest for your dates.
Mostly Airbus A320 and A321 family jets, with Boeing 737s on the Air India Express and Akasa services.
