What is the cheapest month to fly to Kolkata?
The cheapest months to fly to Kolkata from the USA are usually February to April and September to October, when demand is lowest and both nonstop and one-stop fares have the most room. Fares peak around Durga Puja in September–October, Diwali and the December holidays. November to February is the pleasant season in Kolkata. The monsoon runs from June to September.
How far in advance should I book a flight to Kolkata?
Historical fare data for USA to Asia routes, India included, points to roughly four months before departure as the sweet spot, and consolidator fares are usually cheapest several months out rather than close to the date. Around Durga Puja in September–October, Diwali and the December holidays, earlier is better because seats sell out before fares rise; in the shoulder months there is more room to wait for a dip. Our guide to the best time to book international flights from the USA has the data by region.
Do I need a visa to fly to Kolkata?
US passport holders need either an Indian visa, usually the e-Visa applied for online before travel, or an OCI card; OCI holders do not need a visa. Your passport must be valid for at least six months beyond your arrival date. Airlines check both at check-in and deny boarding for a passport that expires too soon, and that is not a refundable reason, so check the expiry before you confirm a reservation.
