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, with a brief stop in Sylhet en route. This journey takes around 10 hours. Most other options route through the Middle East — carriers like Qatar Airways, Emirates, and Etihad connect via Doha, Dubai, or Abu Dhabi — adding 3–5 hours to the journey but often saving £100–£200 on fares.
UK citizens need a visa to enter Bangladesh. You can apply in advance through the e-visa system or obtain a visa on arrival at Dhaka airport.
