Flying from Doha to Sylhet
In short
Biman Bangladesh Airlines is the only airline flying nonstop from Hamad International Airport in Doha (DOH) to Osmani International Airport in Sylhet (ZYL). The 4,038 km flight takes about 5 hours 35 minutes, so people from the Sylhet region working in Qatar can land at home without changing planes in Dhaka.
BG226 nonstop and Biman's other Hamad routes
BG226 runs once a week. Biman also links Hamad with Chattogram and Dhaka, useful if family lives outside the Sylhet region. For Sylhet, Moulvibazar or Sunamganj, the Osmani nonstop avoids a domestic connection.
30 kg allowance and packing cartons
The allowance is 30 kg checked and 7 kg in the cabin, and excess is charged at the counter. Keep cartons within the total, tape every seam twice and write your name and Bangladeshi phone number on two sides. Put perfume and electronics in the cabin bag, since cartons take rough handling at both ends.
Metro Red Line or a car to Hamad
The Doha Metro Red Line has a station at Terminal 1, open since December 2019, handy with a backpack and one case. With several taped cartons, a taxi or a friend's car is far easier than hauling them through the station to check-in.
Qatar is three hours behind Bangladesh
Qatar runs on UTC+3 and Bangladesh on UTC+6, and neither changes its clocks. Tell whoever meets you at Osmani the local arrival time.
Passports and visas for Bangladesh
Bangladeshi passport holders need only their passport. Foreign nationals should check Bangladesh's visa rules before flying.
Osmani airport and its history
The airport carries the name of General M. A. G. Osmani, given in 1971. International service began in 2002, with a Biman flight from Kuwait landing on 3 November that year, and the 10,236 ft runway now takes wide-bodied jets.
Osmani sits on the northern side of Sylhet, with the Malnicherra tea garden, often described as the oldest in South Asia, just beyond the airport; a short taxi ride from Airport Road gets you among the bushes. One hotel stands by the terminal on Airport Road in Khadimnagar, convenient for a late arrival before heading to a village the next morning.
Most other hotels cluster near the Shah Jalal Dargah, which sits on a low hill in north Sylhet. Visitors feed the catfish in the shrine's tank and the Jalali pigeons living around it. Women have their own section near the entrance; only men climb the steps to the grave. The annual urs falls on 15 March, so plan around it for a quieter visit. Two hotels in town have pools for children after the flight.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Booking
Three. Qatar runs on UTC+3 and Bangladesh on UTC+6, and neither changes its clocks, so the difference is the same all year. Tell whoever is meeting you at Osmani the local arrival time, not the Doha one.
General
The Red Line has a station at Terminal 1, open since December 2019, which is handy with a backpack and one case. With several taped cartons a taxi or a friend's car is far easier, because you will be hauling them through the station and up to check-in on your own.
Keep the combined weight within 30 kg, tape every seam twice, and write your name and Bangladeshi phone number on two sides of each box. Put fragile items such as perfume or electronics in the 7 kg cabin bag instead, as cartons take rough handling at both ends.
