Flights from Delhi to Dhaka: Best Routes for Medical Students

Flying to Your Medical College

While students from Eastern India prefer the train or bus, students from North, West, and South India (like Delhi, Mumbai, Chennai) usually fly directly into Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC) in Dhaka.

Flight Routes and Airlines

There are multiple direct flights daily from New Delhi (DEL) and Kolkata (CCU) to Dhaka.

• Airlines: Biman Bangladesh Airlines, IndiGo, and Air India operate frequent direct flights.
• Duration: A direct flight from New Delhi to Dhaka takes just about 2 hours and 15 minutes. From Kolkata, the flight is incredibly short, taking less than 50 minutes!
• Cost: A one-way ticket from New Delhi to Dhaka usually costs between ₹6,000 to ₹10,000 if booked a month in advance.

Baggage Allowance for Students

Medical students carry a lot of luggage (books, clothes, spices). Standard economy flights allow 20kg to 30kg of check-in baggage. However, some airlines offer special 'Student Baggage Allowances' if you show your university ID or admission letter at the counter, granting you an extra 10kg to 15kg for free. Always check with the airline before booking.
