Kolkata's Festive Fares: A Price to Pay for Puja? The upcoming Durga Puja festival is set to drive up airfares into Kolkata significantly, with prices rising by as much as 71% compared to other dates in October.
The data shows that Kolkata stands out as an anomaly, with fares into the city on October 16 far exceeding those for other dates in the month.
