First, a key correction: Rajkot's flights now operate from the new Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar (code HSR), which opened in 2023. The old city Rajkot Airport (RAJ) was closed to scheduled flights that same year, so any listing showing RAJ is out of date. From Hirasar there is no non-stop to Kolkata; you connect through Mumbai (BOM) or Delhi (DEL), both served by IndiGo and Air India.
Mumbai is usually the smoother hub for the Saurashtra–Kolkata flow, with frequent onward CCU flights. Book the journey on a single PNR so a delayed first leg is the airline's problem to re-protect, not yours.
The crow-fly distance is about 1,870 km, flown as two legs. Rajkot (HSR)–Mumbai is roughly 1h 15m; Mumbai–Kolkata is about 2h 30m. Via Delhi, HSR–DEL is ≈ 1h 45m and DEL–CCU ≈ 2h 15m. Add a layover and most travellers reach Kolkata in 5 to 7 hours. Mumbai routings are usually quicker overall because the connection times tend to be tighter and onward CCU frequency is high.
Kolkata demand peaks sharply around Durga Puja (around October) and the year-end holidays, when both legs fill up. Book well ahead for those windows.
| Period | Demand | Booking advice |
|---|---|---|
| Sep–Oct (Durga Puja) | Very high | Book 8–10 weeks ahead |
| Dec–Jan (winter/holidays) | High | 6–8 weeks ahead |
| Apr–Jun (summer) | Moderate | 4–6 weeks ahead |
| Jul–Sep (monsoon) | Lower | Best value; watch BOM rain delays |
Fares on booking sites are indicative only and change with demand; we do not quote a fixed price.
On this 1-stop route, compare the combined through-fare against booking HSR–BOM and BOM–CCU separately — the split sometimes wins, at the cost of connection protection. Mid-week departures (Tuesday/Wednesday) usually price below weekends, and avoiding the Durga Puja fortnight saves the most. Set a fare alert 8–10 weeks before peak dates, and consider a Delhi routing if Mumbai connections look pricey on your date.
Aim for a morning Rajkot departure that connects through Mumbai or Delhi for an afternoon Kolkata arrival — that leaves daylight for the drive into the city. Both Mumbai and Delhi run CCU flights through the day, so a late-morning hub arrival connects comfortably. Very late Rajkot departures may not reach Kolkata the same day, so check the onward timings before booking.
Business travellers: Mumbai gives the densest onward CCU schedule, so it is the safer hub for a same-day round trip. Families: a single through-ticket avoids re-checking bags at the hub and is worth a small premium with children in tow. Students and budget travellers: monsoon months (July–September) are cheapest, but build in a buffer for Mumbai rain delays. Everyone should book the Durga Puja and year-end peaks early.
Rajkot's Hirasar airport (HSR) is a modern single-terminal greenfield facility about 30 km from the city, capable of handling wide-body aircraft. Your hub is either Mumbai (BOM) — where IndiGo uses Terminal 2 and Air India also operates from T2 — or Delhi (DEL), where IndiGo is at Terminal 1 and Air India at Terminal 3. Kolkata (CCU), Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International, is a single integrated terminal handling both domestic and international flights.
Hirasar airport is roughly 30 km from central Rajkot, so allow about an hour by taxi and leave early. In Kolkata, the airport is about 15–17 km from the city centre; app cabs, prepaid taxis and the airport-bound metro extension serve it, with a typical 45–60 minute drive depending on traffic. At your Mumbai or Delhi connection you remain airside, so no city transport is needed mid-journey.
On a single ticket your bag is tagged through to Kolkata. IndiGo allows 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on domestic flights — see IndiGo baggage. Air India's allowance varies by fare class but is often 25 kg on its mainline domestic fares. If you book the legs separately you may need to re-check at the hub and meet each carrier's allowance independently.
Kolkata is hot and humid in summer (April–June) and lively but crowded during Durga Puja; book accommodation early for the festival. The monsoon (July–September) brings heavy rain to both Kolkata and the Mumbai hub, the most common cause of connection delays on this route — keep a buffer. Carry a printout if your legs are on separate tickets, and confirm your Mumbai or Delhi terminal before you fly.
Use Hirasar (HSR), not the old RAJ airport, and treat Mumbai as your default hub for the best onward Kolkata frequency. Book a single through-ticket for peace of mind, and lock in early for Durga Puja and year-end, when both legs sell out fast.
No. There is no non-stop. You connect through Mumbai or Delhi, both served by IndiGo and Air India.
All scheduled flights operate from the new Rajkot International Airport at Hirasar (HSR), opened in 2023. The old city airport (RAJ) was closed to scheduled services that year.
Flying time across the two legs is about 4 to 5 hours; with a hub layover, plan for 5 to 7 hours overall.
IndiGo and Air India, connecting via Mumbai or Delhi. Go First and Jet Airways have ceased operations, and Vistara has merged into Air India.
Mumbai is usually smoother for Saurashtra–Kolkata travel, with frequent onward CCU flights and often shorter total times. Delhi works as an alternative if Mumbai fares are high on your date.
IndiGo allows 15 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin on domestic flights; Air India is often 25 kg on mainline fares but varies by class. On a single ticket your bag is tagged through to Kolkata.
Yes. With both legs on one PNR you can web check-in for the whole journey 48 hours before departure on the operating airline's app or website.
DGCA rules entitle you to a full refund or free re-accommodation if the airline cancels. On a through-ticket the airline must also re-protect a missed hub connection caused by its own delay.
It can. July–September rain at Mumbai and Kolkata is the most common cause of delays. Choose a connection with a sensible buffer during the monsoon.
Because Hirasar is about 30 km from Rajkot city, allow roughly an hour for the drive plus the usual 2 hours before a domestic departure — leave early during peak traffic.
Yes. Infants under 2 fly on an adult's lap at a reduced fare; add the infant at booking and carry proof of age. One infant per adult.
Pet policies vary by airline and are limited on connecting itineraries. Contact the operating carrier well ahead; a health certificate and prior approval are required.
Only a government photo ID such as Aadhaar, Voter ID or passport — it is a domestic flight, so no visa is required.
Airline sites handle connecting rebooking and refunds more cleanly; OTAs may occasionally show a lower through-fare. For a 1-stop journey, the smoother handling of an airline ticket often outweighs a small saving.
