Sealdah is more closer from DumDum Airport.

Now there is Airport Local train from Airport to Sealdah. Kolkata guys pls check the timetable and let him know.

You can also take a cycle rickshaw to Dum Dum cantonment railway station (Rs20 - 40) which is about 2 km from Airport. 20min local train from DDC to Sealdah (DDC - DumDum Jn - Bidhannagar Rd - Sealdah).
Be careful, never try this before noon on Mon - Sat. Only afternoon, as you can never catch a train on office hours.

For Howrah, better to take a prepaid taxi from Airport itself. It should take 1.5 - 2 hours in peak time. Otherwise it will be faster.

BTW, where do you intend to go from Dum Dum Airport?

Abhi

My house is 2 min walk from DDC RS.
