Chattogram to Sharjah flight guide
Flights from Chattogram to Sharjah run nonstop from Shah Amanat International Airport (CGP) to Sharjah International Airport (SHJ) on Air Arabia and Biman Bangladesh Airlines. The 3,698 km flight takes about 5 hours 5 minutes. It suits Bangladeshis who live and work in Sharjah or Ajman, who are spared the slow road out of Dubai International.
Air Arabia, which is based at Sharjah, flies twice a day on an Airbus A320 or A320neo. G9527 leaves Chattogram at 07:50 and lands at 10:55 local time, and G9521 departs at 20:35 and arrives at 23:40. Biman's Boeing 737-800 operates BG151 on Fridays at 21:00, reaching Sharjah just before midnight. Sharjah is two hours behind Bangladesh.
Air Arabia sells low-cost tickets. You get a 20 kg checked bag and 7 kg in the cabin, and meals on board are paid for separately. Biman includes 30 kg checked, which makes its weekly Friday flight the one to choose when you are carrying a full case.
Any UAE visa, for work or a visit, has to be issued before you travel, on a passport with six months of validity.
The airport lies about 13 km east-southeast of Sharjah city. If you are heading on into Dubai, allow for the evening traffic on the roads between the two emirates; at rush hour the drive can stretch to two hours.

Getting there
Biman. Its economy fare on this route includes 30 kg in the hold, half as much again as Air Arabia's 20 kg. Both cap the cabin bag at 7 kg. If you travel heavy, add the cost of extra kilos to the Air Arabia fare before comparing the two.
The present airport opened on 1 January 1977, replacing RAF Sharjah, an airfield from 1932 that lay closer to the city. Today it serves Sharjah, Ajman and Dubai, and it remains Air Arabia's home.
Chattogram also has nonstops to Dubai on flydubai, Biman and US-Bangla, and to Abu Dhabi. Landing in Dubai is the closest alternative for Sharjah and Ajman, though the road between the emirates can be slow in the evening.
Most people take a taxi or are collected by their employer, as the airport is the natural gateway for Ajman as well as Sharjah. Agree on a meeting point outside arrivals before you fly, since phones may take a few minutes to connect on landing.

General
Yes. Biman's 737-800 has 12 business seats ahead of 150 in economy. Air Arabia's A320 is all economy, so Biman is the only way to fly this route with a larger seat and more legroom.
Two hours. The UAE stays on UTC+4 and Bangladesh on UTC+6 all year. A flight of about five hours therefore lands roughly three hours after take-off in local time, which is worth knowing when you arrange a pickup.
Yes. Biman also links Sharjah with Sylhet, which helps families with relatives in both regions. Buy it as a multi-city trip, out from Chattogram and back to Sylhet, so the baggage rules match on both flights.
Yes. The emirate makes no difference: any Bangladeshi going abroad for work needs BMET registration, biometrics and the smart card. The bureau has issued immigration clearance in Chattogram since 2016, so the paperwork can be finished locally.
