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 morning and evening rush.
Saidpur Airport is in Saidpur, in Nilphamari district of the Rangpur division. It has been a domestic airport since 1979 and is the air gateway for Nilphamari, Rangpur, Dinajpur and nearby districts. From the airport you can reach Saidpur town by rickshaw, CNG auto-rickshaw or a pre-arranged car, and Rangpur city by road. If you land in the evening, arrange your pickup before you travel.
Flight Compared With Train and Bus
The flight takes about 1 hour in the air, while the train and the bus take many hours. Nilsagar Express and Lalmoni Express run on the Dhaka to Saidpur rail line, and long-distance buses also serve the route. The train and bus cost less and give you more room. 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 days for your flight. Several flights skip certain days, and the Sunday schedule differs from Monday to Saturday.
- 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 the aircraft are small and popular flights sell out.
- For a day trip, take the 7:15 AM or 8:45 AM flight out and the 8:45 PM flight back.
- Save the booking reference on your phone.
