Flights to Bangladesh from the UK take around 10-16 hours depending on your routing. Dhaka is the main entry point, with Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) handling nearly all international traffic.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines operates the only direct flight from London Heathrow, making a brief stop in Sylhet. That journey clocks in at about 10 hours. Most other options route through the Middle East, adding 3-5 hours but often saving £100-200 on fares.
UK citizens need a visa for Bangladesh. You can apply online through the e-visa system or get one on arrival at Dhaka airport.

Shah Amanat International Airport serves Bangladesh second largest city. Limited international flights, mostly from Middle East.
Osmani International Airport
Osmani International Airport. Biman direct flight from London stops here before continuing to Dhaka. Useful for travellers heading to the Sylhet region.
