Terminal & Airline Updates for CCU and GAU Airports
Your CCU to GAU flight will depart from Kolkata's integrated terminal, but arrival in Guwahati requires checking recent terminal changes.
Kolkata Departure (CCU)
Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) uses a single integrated terminal (Terminal 2) for all domestic flights. Whether you fly IndiGo, Alliance Air, or Air India Express, you will depart from here.
Guwahati Arrival (GAU)
Lokpriya Gopinath Bordoloi International Airport (GAU) inaugurated a new Terminal 2 in 2025/2026. IndiGo has moved its operations to this new terminal. Alliance Air and Air India Express operate from the older Terminal 1. We assume Alliance Air uses T1 based on available data, but we strongly advise checking with the airline to confirm your exact arrival terminal.

Cabin and Checked Baggage Allowances to Guwahati
Baggage rules for your Kolkata to Guwahati flight depend entirely on the airline and the specific fare class you book.
Standard and Lite Fares
Standard economy fares on IndiGo, Air India Express, and Alliance Air include 15 kg of checked baggage. However, if you book an IndiGo Lite or Xpress Lite fare, you are only permitted to carry cabin baggage.
| Airline | Cabin Bag | Check-in (Standard Fare) | Lite / Cabin-only Fare | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| IndiGo | 7 kg | 15 kg | IndiGo Lite (cabin bag only) | Standard fare includes 15 kg checked bag. |
| Air India Express | 7 kg | 15 kg | Xpress Lite (cabin bag only) | Standard fare includes 15 kg checked bag. |
| Alliance Air | 5 kg | 15 kg | None | Cabin bag limit is strictly 5 kg on ATR aircraft. |
Alliance Air Cabin Bags: Because they fly smaller ATR 72 aircraft, the cabin bag limit is 5 kg instead of the usual 7 kg.
Common Errors on the Kolkata-Guwahati Route
Common errors on the Kolkata-Guwahati route include ignoring winter fog delays and assuming all flights arrive at the same terminal in Guwahati.
Weather and Terminal Confusion
Winter fog in December and January frequently causes flight disruptions and delays in both Kolkata and Guwahati. Always check your flight status before leaving for the airport.
Another common mistake is assuming all flights arrive at the same terminal in Guwahati. With the opening of Terminal 2, IndiGo passengers arrive at a different building than Air India Express passengers.
Key Takeaways for Kolkata to Guwahati Travellers
- Winter Fog: Expect potential delays in December and January due to dense fog.
- Monsoon Rains: Summer monsoons can bring heavy rains and floods to Assam, impacting travel plans.
Advice for Different Travellers to Assam
Business travellers can take the 07:15 flight, while budget travellers should look for Lite fares.

Festival Tourists
If you are travelling during Durga Puja or Bihu, book well in advance. Flights fill up quickly, and fares rise as the travel date approaches.
