Flying from Guangzhou to Dhaka
In short
Flights from Guangzhou to Dhaka run nonstop from Guangzhou Baiyun International Airport (CAN) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in about 4 hours 15 minutes, covering 2,331 km. China Southern Airlines, US-Bangla Airlines and Biman Bangladesh Airlines fly it. Many passengers are Bangladeshi importers flying home with samples from the wholesale markets and the Canton Fair at Pazhou.
There are three daily departure windows. US-Bangla's BS326 leaves at 05:00 and lands in Dhaka at 07:10. China Southern flies CZ5015 on an Airbus A321neo at about 09:00 to 09:15, arriving at 11:30, and CZ391 on a Boeing 787-9 in the evening, leaving around 19:40 to 20:00 and arriving at 22:00. Biman also uses the Boeing 737-800.
US-Bangla and Biman include 30 kg of checked baggage, against China Southern's 23 kg. For anyone hauling samples, that gap often decides the booking. Bulky goods can go as air cargo if they exceed any allowance.
You can reach Baiyun without a taxi. Line 3 of the Guangzhou Metro runs into the airport, roughly 40 minutes from Tiyu Xilu in Tianhe, with separate stations for the two terminals, so check which one your airline uses before you set off. For the 05:00 US-Bangla flight, an airport hotel the night before takes the stress out of the early start.
Dhaka is two hours behind Guangzhou. Dhaka's airport is in Kurmitola. Uttara, right next to it, is the easy overnight stop if you land on the late China Southern flight, and Gulshan and Banani are a short ride south. Bangladeshi citizens need only a valid passport.
At Dhaka, the long-awaited third terminal at Hazrat Shahjalal is set for a soft opening on 16 December 2026, with full operations expected in March or April 2027. Traders arriving after mid-December should check which building their flight uses before arranging a pick-up.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General
Biman and US-Bangla are listed at Terminal 3, the building that opened on 30 October 2025. China Southern is based in Terminal 2, though it moves some international routes to Terminal 3. Terminal 1 has been shut for renovation since 7 May 2026, so ignore it.
Once samples go beyond a couple of cartons, a freight forwarder or the airline's cargo service is usually cheaper than paying excess weight, and the paperwork for Dhaka customs is handled for you. Keep only the pieces you need for meetings in your checked bags.
The aircraft type shows on the booking and in the China Southern app. The 787-9 is a twin-aisle widebody with a business cabin and more space overhead for carry-on samples, while the A321neo is single-aisle. Types can change at short notice.
Yes. All the nonstops land at Shahjalal, and the onward hop to Chattogram is a short domestic flight. On separate tickets you will collect your bags and clear customs in Dhaka first, so leave a comfortable gap before the domestic departure.
Timing & weather
The fair runs twice a year, in spring and autumn, at the Pazhou complex. Many buyers head home as a session ends, so book the return as soon as your fair dates are fixed and avoid leaving it to the last week.
Yes. China keeps one time zone at UTC+8 and Bangladesh uses UTC+6, so the clocks in Dhaka read two hours earlier. Neither country shifts for summer, so the difference stays the same through both fair seasons.
Visa & documents
Only for a very short connection. Bangladeshi passport holders may transit visa-free for up to 24 hours when continuing to a third country. Visiting factories or the fair needs a proper Chinese visa obtained before you leave Dhaka.
Getting there
The airport is 28 km north of downtown Guangzhou. By taxi, allow plenty of time for city traffic, and more again if you are setting off from the fair complex at Pazhou.
China Southern left the SkyTeam alliance at the start of 2019 and now runs its own scheme, Sky Pearl Club. Miles from the Dhaka flight go there or to one of its individual partner airlines, not to a SkyTeam account.
Prices & payment
WeChat Pay accepts a linked Visa, Mastercard or JCB card for paying vendors, once a non-Chinese user has completed extra identity checks with a photo of a passport and a selfie. Set it up before you travel and carry some yuan as a backup.
