How do I search for a flight?

Open the flight search, choose one-way, round-trip or multi-city (up to five legs), then enter where you fly from and to and your dates. You can also set the cabin (Economy, Premium, Business or First Class) and up to nine passengers. Results can be sorted by best, cheapest, shortest or earliest departure.

Which airlines can I compare?

Bangladesh's own four airlines and the foreign carriers that fly to Dhaka; the ones most travellers use are in the airline cards on this page. The airline directory gives each airline its own page with its routes, baggage allowance and check-in times.

Where can I check an airline's baggage allowance?

Each airline page has baggage and check-in sections, and the route guides compare airlines on the same route. On some Saudi routes, for example, one airline includes 23 kg of checked baggage while the others on the same route give 30 kg. Allowances depend on the fare, so always confirm the figure printed on your ticket.

Is there information on the airports themselves?

Yes. The airport guides cover terminals, ground transport and nearby hotels. For arrivals in Dhaka, start with the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport guide; you can also book a car with a driver to meet you through car hire.

Are the fares live, and when is my booking confirmed?

Fares are pulled from the airlines and our partners when you search, so the price you see reflects the seats on sale at that moment. Once you pay, the booking is confirmed straight away and the e-ticket and booking reference arrive by email. If a seat sells out between your search and payment, the search shows the next available fare before you are charged, and our support team is on hand around the clock if anything looks wrong.

Is bookingMentor part of any airline?

No. bookingMentor is an independent travel service and is not affiliated with the airlines it lists. Schedules and baggage rules change, so confirm the details of your flight with the airline before you travel.

I am flying to Jeddah for Umrah. Should I book the flight separately?

You don't have to. Every Umrah package on bookingMentor includes a return air ticket from Dhaka along with the visa, hotels and transfers. If you are arranging Umrah yourself, the route guides to Jeddah and Madina show which airlines fly nonstop.

What do the cabin bag and checked bag options do?

They filter out fares that do not include the bags you need. The search counts 7 kg for each cabin bag and 20 kg for each checked bag per passenger. Fares whose allowance the airline has not given are left out.

Which domestic routes in Bangladesh are covered?

Flights from Dhaka to seven airports in Bangladesh and back, plus Cox's Bazar to Saidpur. The busiest of them are in the trending flights and offers above, and the guides also cover Barishal. Most domestic flights take under an hour, and Bangladesh's four airlines share the busiest routes.

Which international routes from Bangladesh are covered?

Most of bookingMentor's flight route guides are international. The majority start or end in Dhaka, with routes to the Gulf, India, Southeast Asia, China, Japan, Turkey, the UK and Canada. Chattogram and Sylhet have their own routes to Dubai, Abu Dhabi, Muscat, Jeddah and other Gulf cities, and Sylhet also connects to London and Manchester.

Are the fares shown per person?

Yes. Prices in the results are for one passenger, and optional charges and bag fees may be added. Fares that were checked more than 15 minutes ago are flagged, because seats may have sold since; press Refresh to see the latest.

Domestic and international routes

Flight route guides from Bangladesh

In short

bookingMentor has 381 flight route guides. Some cover domestic flights inside Bangladesh, most link Dhaka with cities abroad in both directions, and the rest start or end in Chattogram or Sylhet. Each guide names the airlines on the route, the usual flight time and distance, and the aircraft used.

bookingMentor connects you with top-rated airlines on domestic and international routes, with real-time pricing, instant confirmations and flexible travel options. Compare fares, explore schedules and choose the flight that fits your budget in one place, with secure payment options, trusted airline partners and 24/7 access, from last-minute getaways to long-haul trips.

How the route guides are grouped

Every route has two guides, one for each direction, because schedules, flight times and arrival details differ on the way back. Dhaka is the centre of the network, but the guides also follow the routes that matter most to families in Chattogram and Sylhet, many of whom have relatives working in the Gulf or living in Britain.

Group	What they cover
Domestic	Dhaka to seven airports in Bangladesh and back, plus Cox's Bazar to Saidpur
Dhaka international	Cities from Kolkata at 239 km to Toronto at 12,438 km
Chattogram international	Abu Dhabi, Doha, Dubai, Jeddah, Madina, Muscat and Sharjah, both ways
Sylhet international	Abu Dhabi, Dubai, Jeddah, London, Manchester and Muscat, plus Doha to Sylhet

Gulf and Saudi routes from Dhaka

More guides cover the Gulf than any other region, because these are the busiest international routes from Bangladesh. On most of them you can choose between a Bangladeshi airline and the national or low-cost carrier of the destination, and the guides show who flies nonstop.

Route	Nonstop airlines	Usual flight time
Dhaka to Madina	Biman, Saudia	About 6 hours 45 minutes
Dhaka to Abu Dhabi	Etihad, Biman, US-Bangla, Air Arabia Abu Dhabi	About 5 hours 25 minutes
Dhaka to Kuwait City	Jazeera Airways, Kuwait Airways, Biman	About 6 hours 10 minutes
Dhaka to Dammam	Biman only, on a Boeing 777-300ER	About 5 hours 40 minutes

The UAE route guides add a reminder that matters at the check-in desk: you need your UAE visa before you check in, not on arrival.

Long-haul flights without a Gulf stop

Biman is the only airline flying from Bangladesh to Britain, Italy and Canada without a change of plane. Its Boeing 787s cover four long routes, and the guides set out the journey times and stops for each.

Dhaka to London: Heathrow nonstop in about 11 hours 20 minutes, or via Sylhet in about 13 hours 15 minutes, with 46 kg of checked baggage.
Dhaka to Manchester: a Boeing 787-8 calling at Sylhet, about 13 hours 20 minutes in total.
Dhaka to Rome: the only nonstop to Rome Fiumicino, about 10 hours for 7,321 km on a Boeing 787-9.
Dhaka to Toronto: a Boeing 787-9 with one stop in Rome, 12,438 km in about 20 hours 50 minutes, the longest route in the guides.

For other cities in Europe and the Americas, the usual choice is a one-stop trip. Turkish Airlines flies Dhaka to Istanbul nonstop on an Airbus A330-300 in about 8 hours 45 minutes, and its Istanbul hub connects onward, as does Qatar Airways through Doha.

Short flights to the neighbours

Some of the most useful international routes are barely longer than a domestic flight, such as the hops to Kolkata and Kathmandu shown in the cards above. Drukair links Dhaka with Paro, Bhutan's only international airport, in about an hour on an ATR 42-600. Further south, Dhaka to Colombo takes about 3 hours 25 minutes.

What a route guide adds before you fly

Each guide starts with an at-a-glance summary, then lists the airlines and aircraft on the route and describes both airports. The questions at the end are specific to the route. The Dhaka to Toronto guide, for example, explains why the time difference changes during the year, whether a Canadian visitor visa needs fingerprints, and how the UP Express train runs from Pearson airport to Union Station. If you land in Dhaka late at night, you can book a car with a driver to meet you at arrivals.
