Flying from Jeddah to Dhaka
In short
Multiple airlines fly nonstop from King Abdulaziz International Airport in Jeddah (JED) to Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Dhaka (DAC): Saudia, Biman Bangladesh Airlines and US-Bangla Airlines. The 5,231 km flight takes about 6 hours 40 minutes, and it carries pilgrims after Umrah and workers going home at the end of a contract.
Comparing Saudia, Biman and US-Bangla
Saudia has the most departures, about 15 a week on SV802, SV808, SV810 and SV812, all on the Boeing 777-300ER, with 23 kg of checked baggage. Biman flies the same type with 30 kg. US-Bangla joined the route in 2024 with an Airbus A330-300 and also allows 30 kg. Everyone gets 7 kg in the cabin.
Cabin size differs too. US-Bangla's A330-300 has 436 seats, all economy. Biman's 777-300ER has 419, and Saudia's version typically around 360. A larger cabin can mean seats left when you book late, but it does not change the baggage rule, and overweight bags at a Jeddah counter are an expensive surprise.
Saudia at Terminal 1, others to confirm
Saudia runs its international flights from Terminal 1, where it moved in August 2019. Biman and US-Bangla passengers should look for the terminal on the booking; the North Terminal is used mainly by foreign airlines. Confirm it a day before, because arriving at the wrong building means a transfer across the airport before check-in.
Pilgrims can skip the highway. Haramain trains from Makkah reach Jeddah's Al Sulaymaniyah station after 77 km and about 43 minutes, and a 3.75 km branch, opened on 11 December 2019, carries on to the airport station. The airport is about 19 km north of the city centre for anyone coming by road. Make sure your exit or final exit visa is in order before you set off.
Working out your landing time in Dhaka
Add three hours to Jeddah time and then the flight length. Saudi Arabia keeps UTC+3 and Bangladesh UTC+6, with no seasonal change in either, so the gap is fixed all year.
Shahjalal's older halls until Terminal 3 opens
Hazrat Shahjalal stands in Kurmitola on the northern edge of Dhaka. Terminal 3 received a partial inauguration on 7 October 2023 and is due to soft-open on 16 December 2026, with full operations planned for March or April 2027, so the older halls carry the traffic until then. When finished, the airport's yearly capacity rises from 8 million to 24 million passengers.
Many passengers never cross the city. Those bound for home districts carry straight on by domestic flight, by train from Airport Railway Station across the road, or by intercity bus. US-Bangla is based at Shahjalal along with Biman, Novoair and Air Astra, so a connection on the same airline is easier to sort out if the Jeddah flight runs late. You still collect bags and clear customs before checking in at the domestic terminal.
For central Dhaka, the toll expressway from Kawla has run 11.5 km to Farmgate since September 2023, with a Karwan Bazar ramp since March 2024, and skips much of the traffic around Banani and Mohakhali. A BRTC bus has used it since 18 September 2023; it suits workers with hand luggage only, while anyone carrying 30 kg plus Zamzam and dates will find a car far easier.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
General
Saudia runs its international flights from Terminal 1, where it moved in August 2019. The North Terminal is used mainly by foreign airlines, so Biman and US-Bangla passengers should look for that name on their booking and confirm it a day before. Turning up at the wrong building means a transfer across the airport before you can even check in.
That is for your Hajj agency to confirm. The terminal was purpose-built for the pilgrimage and can hold 80,000 travellers at once. Anyone flying on a normal scheduled ticket outside the pilgrimage weeks should go to the terminal shown on the booking.
Perhaps not yet. Terminal 3 received a partial inauguration on 7 October 2023; the minister expects a soft opening on 16 December 2026 and full operations in March or April 2027, and until then the older terminals take the traffic. Once it is finished, the airport will be able to handle 24 million passengers a year rather than 8 million.
Getting there
Yes. Haramain trains from Makkah reach Jeddah's Al Sulaymaniyah station after 77 km and roughly 43 minutes, and a short branch of 3.75 km carries on to the airport station, opened on 11 December 2019. If your airline uses the North Terminal, budget time for the onward link from Terminal 1.
US-Bangla's Airbus A330-300 is fitted with 436 seats, all in economy. Biman's Boeing 777-300ER has 419, and Saudia's 777-300ER typically around 360. A bigger cabin does not change your allowance, which is lower on Saudia, but it can mean more seats left when you book late.
The airport is about 19 km north of the city centre. The drive is quick when the roads are clear, but leave a margin for traffic and for the check-in queue, which is where most of the waiting happens.
Yes. The toll expressway from Kawla next to the airport has been open as far as Farmgate since September 2023, a stretch of 11.5 km, and a ramp at Karwan Bazar opened in March 2024. A car on the expressway skips much of the traffic around Banani and Mohakhali.
There is a BRTC bus on the expressway between the airport and Farmgate, launched on 18 September 2023. Workers with only hand luggage can use it to save money. Anyone with a full 30 kg, plus Zamzam and dates, will find a private car far easier.
Yes. Hazrat Shahjalal is US-Bangla's hub, and it also serves as the base for Biman, Novoair, Air Astra and other Bangladeshi airlines. Booking both legs on one airline makes it easier to sort out a delay, but you still collect bags and clear customs before checking in at the domestic terminal.
Booking
Three. Saudi Arabia keeps UTC+3 and Bangladesh UTC+6, and neither changes its clocks during the year. Add three hours to your Jeddah take-off time plus the length of the flight, and you have the Dhaka arrival time to give to family.
