The following airlines operate regular services between Kolkata and Boston. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Local tips

Tipping is customary in the US; aim for 15-20% at restaurants and for service staff. Public transportation is efficient, but the 'T' (subway) can get crowded during peak hours. Be prepared for higher prices compared to India.
