How to Find the Cheapest Flight from Kolkata to Visakhapatnam
Seasonal Demand and Weather
High demand during Durga Puja and Diwali festivals can drive up ticket prices significantly. If your travel dates are flexible, avoid these peak periods.
Also, keep an eye on the weather. Cyclones in the Bay of Bengal can disrupt flights between October and November, while monsoon rains may cause delays from June to September.

Knowing your departure and arrival terminals is crucial, especially with the recent shift to the new airport in Visakhapatnam.
Departing from Kolkata (CCU)
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) uses Terminal 2 as an integrated terminal for both domestic and international flights. Your IndiGo flight will depart from here. The airport is about 16 km from central Kolkata.
Arriving in Visakhapatnam (VTZ)
You will arrive at Terminal 1 of the new Alluri Sitarama Raju International Airport in Bhogapuram. Because this airport is 45-50 km from the city, factor in extra travel time for your onward journey.
