Chattogram to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz flight guide
Flights from Chattogram to Madina run nonstop from Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International Airport (MED) on Biman Bangladesh Airlines, the only carrier on the route. The Boeing 777-300ER covers 5,292 km in about 6 hours 40 minutes. It suits Umrah pilgrims who want to begin at the Prophet's Mosque.
Landing in Madina first changes the order of an Umrah trip. You pray at the Prophet's Mosque before anything else, then put on ihram later at Dhul Hulaifah on the road to Makkah, so there is no need to change into it before boarding in Chattogram.
Your Saudi visa must be issued before you leave, and the passport should be valid for six months or more. Most travellers on this route come through an Umrah agency that arranges both.
Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz International moved into a new terminal in 2015. From there it is a short drive by taxi or agency coach to the central area, where the hotels around the Haram are packed close together.
When it is time to move on to Makkah, the Haramain High Speed Railway runs from Madinah's station. Biman's allowance of 30 kg checked and 7 kg in the cabin covers the outward trip comfortably; it is the return bags that fill up.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines operates direct flights from Chattogram (CGP) to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz (MED). The flight takes about 6h 50m.

Our travel team answers questions about Chattogram to Prince Mohammad bin Abdulaziz flights
Getting there
About 424 km. It is the miqat for anyone travelling from Madinah, so coaches and cars stop at the mosque there, Masjid ash-Shajarah, for pilgrims to put on ihram. If you go by train instead, ask your guide where and when to change, since the rail route has no stop there.
About 2 hours at speeds of up to 300 km/h. Trains leave from the Madinah station on King Abdulaziz Street, so allow time for a taxi from your hotel. Agency coaches take longer but drop you at the hotel door.
It opened in 2015, after test flights from 12 April and an official opening on 2 July that year. TAV Airports runs it, and it was the first commercial terminal in the Middle East and North Africa to earn LEED Gold for its green design.
Yes. Biman also runs a Chattogram to Jeddah nonstop, so you can arrive in Madinah, finish in Makkah and leave from Jeddah, which is the nearer airport at that point. Book it as one multi-city ticket to keep the baggage terms identical on both sectors.
Timing & weather
Yes. Saudi Arabia runs three hours behind Bangladesh, on UTC+3 all year, and prayer times there follow Madinah's own sunrise and sunset. Most phones switch on their own once they find a local network, but check before the first prayer at the mosque.
Booking
Use the Nusuk app, which hands out timed entries to Al-Rawdah Al-Sharifah. Sign in with the account linked to your visa, choose a slot, then arrive at the gate shown a little early. Cancel unused slots so others can take them.
Prices & payment
For older pilgrims, usually yes. Dar Al Taqwa looks straight onto the mosque, and the Mövenpick and Pullman Zamzam are a short walk away, so five daily walks stay manageable in the heat. Cheaper rooms further out save money but add time at every prayer.
Visa & documents
Since August 2025 the Nusuk Umrah service has accepted direct online applications from abroad, with electronic payment. Most families from Chattogram still go through an agency for the hotel and transport package, but booking the visa yourself is now possible.
The Umrah permit issued through Nusuk, the Saudi Ministry of Hajj and Umrah's platform. Download it so it can be shown even without signal, and keep your passport handy in case an official asks to see both together.
General
Weigh the cases in the hotel before checkout and move dates and prayer mats into a separate box if needed. Buying extra weight from Biman before the return flight costs less than paying at the counter, and it avoids repacking in the departure hall.
