Kolkata to Delhi flights today & tonight
Flying today? CCU–DEL seats stay on sale until the airline’s check-in cutoff — typically 60 minutes before a domestic departure — and with roughly 43 flights a day there is usually still something moving north tonight after the evening bank starts at 17:00. Live prices for those departures are in the search above. One local point: CCU’s single integrated terminal keeps the walk from kerb to gate short, so a tight same-day turnaround is more workable here than at a multi-terminal origin.

About Kolkata and Delhi
Roughly 1,300 km northwest, flown in about 2h 15m: this is the east-to-north trunk that ties Kolkata, the commercial anchor of eastern India, to the national capital. Around 43 departures a day across four airlines means the sector behaves less like a point-to-point hop and more like a shuttle — corporate travellers filling the early and late bands, families and students spread through the middle of the day.
Kolkata
Everything leaves from one building. Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International (CCU) runs a single integrated terminal, so there is no domestic-terminal guesswork before a CCU–DEL departure — check in, clear security, and your gate is in the same concourse whether you are on IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air or SpiceJet. Delhi-bound departures cluster hard into the 06:00–10:00 business bank and again from 17:00, which is where fares firm up first. If you are booking inside a day or two, widen the search by an hour either side of the flight you want: on a sector with this much frequency, the seat one departure earlier is often meaningfully cheaper than the one you first clicked.
Delhi
Arrival is the part worth planning. Indira Gandhi International (DEL) spreads domestic flights across more than one terminal, so read the terminal printed on your ticket rather than assuming — it decides your walk, your pickup point, and how quickly you reach the Airport Express or the ring roads. A morning CCU departure lands with the Delhi workday still ahead of it, which is why the early bank sells first for meetings in Gurugram, Noida or central Delhi; an evening departure trades that for a quieter, usually cheaper cabin and a late arrival. Pick the arrival band you actually need on the ground, then optimise fare within it.
Month-by-month demand pattern on Indian domestic routes
This is the general calendar shape for domestic flying in India — not a measurement of CCU–DEL fares. We show it because the months that squeeze the network also squeeze this sector; for actual Kolkata to Delhi prices, use the live search above.
Seasonality price bars (all-India, indicative)
These bars describe the domestic calendar in broad terms — school holidays, the festive and wedding stretch, and the monsoon lull. They are not derived from Kolkata–Delhi fare history, and we do not publish per-route seasonality we haven’t measured.
What actually decides your CCU–DEL fare is the departure slot, the airline’s remaining inventory, and how close to takeoff you book — see the live search above for today’s numbers.

Departure day matters more than booking day. The bars below are indicative levels built off the ₹6,891 CCU–DEL starting fare and the usual weekday-versus-weekend spread on Indian metro trunk sectors — a guide to the shape, not a quote. Live prices sit in the search above.
Airlines flying CCU to DEL
Four carriers fly CCU–DEL non-stop and all four take about the same 2h 15m, so the real choice is departure time and fare rather than journey length. IndiGo carries the bulk of the frequency; Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet fill the gaps between the peak banks.
| Airline | Flights/day | Direct duration | From |
|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo (6E) | ~25 daily | ~2h 15m | ₹6,891 |
| Air India (AI) | ~10 daily | ~2h 15m | ₹6,008 |
| Akasa Air (QP) | ~5 daily | ~2h 15m | ₹5,441 |
| SpiceJet (SG) | ~3 daily | ~2h 15m | ₹5,781 |

Kolkata to Delhi Flight Guide
Route at a glance. 1,300 km from CCU to DEL, about 2h 15min non-stop, with four carriers — IndiGo, Air India, Akasa Air and SpiceJet — putting roughly 43 departures a day into the schedule. IndiGo alone accounts for around 25 of them, which is why its fares tend to set the floor on this sector. Departures bunch into two banks, 06:00–10:00 and 17:00–21:00; the flat middle of the day is where the calmer fares live.
When to book. Booking inside 72 hours of a CCU–DEL departure almost never gets you a bargain — the cheap buckets went weeks ago and what remains is the top of the ladder. Our job in that window is different: scan all four airlines at once, find the lowest seat still genuinely available, and get a confirmed PNR issued before it moves again. Planning further ahead? Mid-week travel booked 14–21 days out is the sensible target.
Two levers that matter here. Day of week beats month on this sector: a Friday-evening or Sunday CCU–DEL seat sits well above the mid-week equivalent, so shifting a day is usually worth more than shifting a season. And with ~43 flights daily, the departure immediately before or after the one you wanted is a real option — check both before you pay.

Tushar's note on Kolkata to Delhi
I founded Tatkal Flights specifically for travellers booking inside the 48-hour window before departure, and Kolkata to Delhi is one of the routes where that window matters most. On most Indian routes the cheapest fare buckets sell out first, so the closer you get to departure the higher the price usually climbs — last-minute is rarely cheaper. What we do instead is compare live fares across every airline the moment you search — including unpublished and network fares a single portal may not show — and get you the lowest seat still available, with a confirmed airline PNR in minutes. Booking inside 48 hours, the real win isn't a magic low price; it's a confirmed seat on the earliest workable flight without overpaying.
Two practical notes from watching this route closely: (1) Friday-evening departures on Kolkata to Delhi tend to price noticeably higher than the Tuesday-morning departure on the same week, so if your travel date is flexible by a day or two the savings are real. (2) The "non-refundable" tag on the cheapest fare bucket has a specific definition under DGCA rules — if the airline cancels or reschedules by more than 2 hours, you're owed a full refund regardless of bucket. I keep the DGCA refund-rights guide updated each quarter for that reason.
