Jeddah to Chattogram flight guide
Biman Bangladesh Airlines runs the only nonstop from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) to Shah Amanat International Airport in Chattogram (CGP). Its Boeing 777-300ER covers 5,402 km in about 6 hours 55 minutes, and the seats go mostly to Umrah pilgrims and to workers from Chattogram Division finishing contracts in the Hejaz.
BG136 is the service, and it is the only way home to Chattogram from Jeddah without changing planes in Dhaka. Biman's 777-300ER carries 419 people, so a full flight means a long wait at the baggage belt on arrival. Put medicines, documents and anything you need straight away in the 7 kg cabin bag.
Economy includes 30 kg of checked baggage. Dates go in the suitcase. Zamzam water is handled under the airline's own rules, so ask Biman how it wants Zamzam carried before you buy a container.
The Haramain High Speed Railway is the easiest way for pilgrims to reach the airport. Trains from Makkah run 77 km to Jeddah's Al Sulaymaniyah station in about 43 minutes at up to 300 km/h, and a 3.75 km branch carries on to the airport station at Terminal 1.
Check which terminal your Biman ticket shows. Terminal 1 is Saudia's base and has the rail station, while the North Terminal is used mainly by foreign airlines. If the booking says North Terminal, allow time to cross from one building to the other after the train. During Hajj, groups may be sent to the Hajj Terminal, built to hold 80,000 travellers at once; your agency confirms that.
Coming by road from central Jeddah, the airport is about 19 km to the north. Queues at South Asian check-in desks grow long in Umrah season, so leave with a margin.
The airport sits at Patenga, at the southern tip of the city where the Karnaphuli meets the sea. It was built to handle 1.5 million passengers a year and was already handling 3,019,064 by 2019, so several Gulf and Saudi arrivals close together stretch immigration and the belts. Ask relatives to wait in the car park until you message them.
For the drive north, the 16 km Shaheed Wasim Akram Flyover runs from the airport to Lalkhan Bazar above the traffic, with tolls collected by the Chittagong Development Authority. GEC and O.R. Nizam Road are a short drive from its top end. Agrabad lies on the way into town, and the railway station on Station Road is about 18.5 km by road, which suits anyone catching an onward train.
Biman also lists Madinah among its Chattogram routes. Pilgrims who end their trip at the Prophet's Mosque can compare that flight with the Jeddah one before booking, since the two do not necessarily run on the same days.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines operates direct flights from Jeddah (JED) to Chattogram (CGP). The flight takes about 6h 55m.

Getting there
Check the booking. Terminal 1 is Saudia's base and the home of the airport rail station, while the North Terminal is used mainly by foreign airlines. If your Biman ticket shows the North Terminal, allow extra time to get across from the train, since you will need to make your way from one building to the other.
The run from Makkah to Jeddah's Al Sulaymaniyah station covers 77 km in about 43 minutes, and the airport station sits on a 3.75 km branch off the main line. Trains run at up to 300 km/h, so the rail leg is the quickest part of the journey.
The airport lies about 19 km north of the centre, so leave early if you are driving. Anyone coming from Makkah or Madinah can avoid the roads by taking the Haramain train to the airport station.
The terminal was built to handle 1.5 million passengers a year but was already handling 3,019,064 by 2019. Several Gulf and Saudi arrivals landing close together can therefore stretch immigration and the belts. Ask family to wait in the car park rather than at the doors until you message them.
Usually. The 16 km Shaheed Wasim Akram Flyover runs from the airport to Lalkhan Bazar, keeping you above the traffic at ground level. Tolls on it are collected by the Chittagong Development Authority. From its top end, GEC and O.R. Nizam Road are a short drive.
General
It moves forward three hours. Saudi Arabia stays on UTC+3 all year and Bangladesh on UTC+6, so a flight of just under seven hours lands close to ten hours later by local time. Tell whoever is collecting you in Patenga the Bangladesh arrival time, not the Saudi one.
It depends on your group's arrangements. The Hajj Terminal was built for the annual pilgrimage and can hold 80,000 travellers at once, but not every flight in the season uses it. Your Hajj agency or the ticket itself will tell you which building to go to.
Biman lists Madinah among its destinations from Chattogram, alongside Jeddah, so pilgrims who end their trip at the Prophet's Mosque may be able to avoid the train to Jeddah altogether. The two services do not necessarily run on the same days, so compare both airports for your dates before booking the return.
Booking
Biman's 777-300ER has 419 seats. A full flight means a long wait at the baggage belt in Chattogram, so it is worth keeping essentials and medicines in your 7 kg cabin bag.
Families & accessibility
For comfort after the journey, two hotels under Where to stay, in Lalkhan Bazar and near GEC, both have rooftop pools. A hotel in Agrabad has its own restaurant and sits on the way from the airport, and a budget hotel on Station Road suits those catching an onward train.
