  "connection_tips": "Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU) operates from a single, massive integrated terminal (T2), which simplifies the connection process as you do not need to change buildings. For domestic-to-international transfers, a dedicated \"Direct Transfer\" channel is located near Baggage Belt 10, allowing passengers to move to the international departure zone without exiting the arrivals hall. If you are on a single booking (PNR), your baggage is often checked through to the final destination, but it is critical to confirm this at your origin. For those on separate tickets, you must exit the terminal, collect your bags, and head to the Level 2 departure hall to check in again.\n\nFor international-to-domestic connections, the process is more involved. You must clear immigration and collect all checked baggage for customs inspection, even if the bags are tagged through to your final domestic destination. After clearing customs, follow signs for the \"Domestic Transfer\" desk or use the elevators to reach the main check-in area. It is recommended to allow at least 3 hours for domestic-to-international and 4 hours for international-to-domestic connections to account for immigration queues and thorough security checks.\n\nIf you have a long layover, CCU offers in-terminal retiring rooms (Day Rooms) near the arrival gates, which can be booked for 4 to 24-hour periods. For short-term storage, a 24/7 cloakroom is available at the Arrival Level near Gate 3C. Additionally, frequent travelers recommend using the DigiYatra app for domestic departures to bypass the often lengthy initial entry and security lines.",

  "terminal_info": "Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose International Airport (CCU), located in Dum Dum approximately 17 kilometers from central Kolkata, is the primary aviation hub for Eastern and Northeastern India. Named after a legendary leader of the Indian independence movement, the airport acts as a critical gateway for West Bengal and serves as a vital link to neighboring countries like Bangladesh, Bhutan, and Myanmar. The facility is one of the oldest airports in India but underwent a massive transformation with the opening of its state-of-the-art integrated terminal in 2013.\n\nThe airport operates through a single, massive integrated terminal known as Terminal 2 (T2), which handles both domestic and international traffic. The L-shaped structure is renowned for its modern design, featuring 128 check-in counters, 78 immigration counters, and 18 aerobridges to ensure efficient passenger flow. The terminal's architectural style incorporates large glass facades and high ceilings, creating a sense of openness and light. It efficiently separates arriving and departing passengers across different levels, with dedicated zones for domestic and international boarding gates, making navigation intuitive despite the terminal's large footprint.\n\nAmenities at CCU are extensive and reflect the cultural richness of Kolkata. Travelers can enjoy several premium lounges, including the Air India Maharajah Lounge and multiple Travel Club Lounges, offering comfortable seating, Wi-Fi, and a variety of refreshments. The terminal features a wide array of dining options, from traditional Bengali eateries and Indian tea houses to international fast-food chains and an Irish pub. Shopping is a highlight, with duty-free stores in the international zone and numerous outlets selling local Bengali fabrics, handicrafts, and world-famous Darjeeling tea. Essential services like 24/7 medical assistance, pharmacies, prayer rooms, and currency exchange are all conveniently located within the terminal.\n\nCCU provides robust connectivity, serving as a primary hub for IndiGo, Air India Express, and Alliance Air, while remaining a key focus city for the national carrier, Air India. It offers frequent non-stop flights to every major Indian city and maintains strong international links to global hubs such as Dubai, Doha, Singapore, and Bangkok. Ground transportation is well-developed, with pre-paid taxi booths, app-based ride-sharing (Uber and Ola), and air-conditioned buses connecting the airport to Esplanade and Howrah Station. The airport is also uniquely connected to the city's expanding metro network via the Biman Bandar station, ensuring multiple reliable options for transiting to the heart of the 'City of Joy.'",
