Airports and Getting There
In Dhaka, domestic flights leave from Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport in Kurmitola, in the north of the city. Reach the airport at least 90 minutes before departure, and allow extra time for traffic, especially in the evening rush.
Shah Makhdum Airport is a domestic airport that serves Rajshahi and the wider Rajshahi division. From the airport you can reach the city by CNG auto-rickshaw or a pre-arranged car. If you land in the evening, arrange your pickup before you travel.
Flight Compared With Train and Bus
The flight takes 50 minutes to 1 hour in the air, while the train and the bus take several hours. Padma Express, Silkcity Express and Dhumketu Express run on the Dhaka to Rajshahi rail line, and long-distance buses also serve the route. The train and bus cost less and run more often. The flight is the best choice if time matters or you need a same-day trip. Add the trip to the airport and the check-in time when you compare totals.
Practical Tips
- Check the schedule for your exact date. The winter timetable starts on 25 October and changes departure times on every US-Bangla flight.
- Carry your NID or passport. You need it at check-in and security.
- Check the baggage limit on your fare before you pack.
- Book early for Fridays, Saturdays and holidays, since seats are limited on the 72-seat aircraft.
- For a same-day business trip, take the 10:00 AM flight out and the 5:20 PM flight back.
- Save the booking reference on your phone.
