Bangalore to Dhaka Flights

The Bangalore to Dhaka air route connects Bengaluru Intl (BLR) to Zia Int'l (DAC). This is one of the busiest international routes with multiple daily departures operated by 4 airlines.

As an international route, travellers need a valid passport and appropriate visa for the destination country. It's recommended to arrive at the airport at least 3 hours before departure for international flights.

Compare fares across all airlines on FareEagle to find the best deal. Prices fluctuate based on demand, seasonality, and how far in advance you book. Generally, booking 2-4 weeks ahead for domestic flights and 6-8 weeks for international routes gives the best value.

The following airlines operate regular services between Bangalore and Dhaka. Each airline offers different fare classes, baggage allowances, and onboard services.

Full-service international carriers typically include meals, checked baggage (20-30 kg), and in-flight entertainment. Compare the total cost including baggage on FareEagle — sometimes a full-service fare with included baggage is cheaper than a low-cost fare plus add-ons.

Many people travel from Bangalore to Dhaka for business, especially in the garment and technology sectors. Dhaka offers a rich cultural experience with historical sites and bustling markets, but be prepared for a very crowded city.

Best time to fly

The best time to visit Dhaka is during the winter months, from November to February. The weather is cooler and drier, making it more comfortable to explore the city. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) due to heavy rainfall and potential flooding.

Getting from the airport to Dhaka

Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) is about 17km from the city centre. You can take a pre-paid taxi for approximately 800-1200 Bangladeshi Taka. Ride-sharing apps like Uber and Pathao are also available.

Things to do in Dhaka

Visit the Lalbagh Fort, an incomplete Mughal fortress from the 17th century. Explore the Star Mosque (Tara Masjid), adorned with intricate mosaic patterns. Take a boat trip on the Buriganga River to experience the city from a different perspective. Wander through Sadarghat, Dhaka's main river port, for a sensory overload of sights and sounds.

Food to try

Try biryani, a flavorful rice dish with meat and spices, available at many restaurants. Sample street food like fuchka (pani puri) and jhalmuri (spicy puffed rice mix). Don't miss out on trying various sweets like roshogolla and chomchom.
