Another Traveler told.. 

There is no bus or train directly from Bagdogra airport to Darjeeling. If anyone wants to go to a taxi or other rental car, then the cost will be around 2000 to 2500 rupees. You can avail this service at airport taxi counter. OLA also available.

Economical way:

 From airport take a bus or auto to Siliguri (fare:rupees15), there you get public or NBSTC bus in Tenzing Norgay Bus Terminus to Darjeeling(fare: rupees 100). You can hire a shared zeep/zonga (fare: rupees 130)per head basis from zeep stand outside the terminus.

If you have plenty of time then you may taste the beauty of nature, travelling by toy train (fare: rupees 340). But it takes over 7 hours. Check before you go if its rainy season.
