1) At around 15.00, I checked out from my hostel and took a Metro (Rp10=Rm0.60) from the Park Street station to Dumdum Metro station (at this point of time, there is no direct Metro link to the International Airport). From Dumdum, I had to take a local bus (Rp20=Rm1.20) heading towards the Airport direction. You need at least 2 hours if you are using a combination of Metro & local bus from the city center to the International / domestic airport in Kolkata. Also pray hard that no monsoon rain in the afternoon to disrupt your Metro & bus rides from the city center to the International Airport ! .
2) Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport, Kolkata
3) Waiting lounge in front of the Domestic Departure Gate at the Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport - as I arrived early at around 17.00 in the International Airport & as my flight departure was after mid-night - so I had to rest myself at the lounge till around 21.00 before eligible to enter the International Departure Hall.
