Looking for cheap flights from Bangalore to Sylhet?

Whether you want a Bangalore to Sylhet non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Bangalore-Sylhet fare is one search away.
Sylhet sees no widebody long-haul from South India, and Osmani International handles a modest schedule dominated by Dhaka shuttles and Gulf/UK diaspora services. From Bangalore the practical play is to fly the ~2,000 km leg to Kolkata (around 2h 30m) or Dhaka, then connect onward. Kolkata to Sylhet is a short 45–55 minute hop; Dhaka to Sylhet is roughly 40–50 minutes. A self-transfer in Kolkata can be cheaper, but allow a 3–4 hour buffer because you must re-check bags and clear immigration twice.
The cleanest single-ticket option is usually via Dhaka on Biman Bangladesh or US-Bangla, where domestic ZYL feeders run several times daily. The budget option routes through Kolkata, which sits only ~350 km from Sylhet and offers the highest non-stop frequency from Bangalore (multiple daily on IndiGo/Air India). See our Bangalore to Kolkata page for the first leg. If you self-connect, book the BLR–CCU and CCU–ZYL tickets so a missed connection only costs one segment.
Because the trip stitches a domestic Indian leg to a short international hop, total economy round-trips typically run ₹22,000–₹40,000 depending on season and how far ahead you book. The cheapest windows are February to April and the late-monsoon lull of August to September. Eid and the November–January wedding-and-winter peak can push one-way fares past ₹25,000. Booking 6–8 weeks out and keeping dates flexible by a day or two usually shaves a meaningful chunk off.
Bangladesh does not offer visa-on-arrival to Indian passport holders. You must apply in advance for a sticker visa through the Bangladesh High Commission via an IVAC centre in India before you travel. Processing commonly takes 5–10 working days, so apply at least two to three weeks ahead. Carry proof of onward travel and accommodation. Read our broader visa guide before you lodge the application, and double-check the latest port-of-entry endorsements for air arrivals at ZYL.
Osmani International is compact, around 10–12 km from central Sylhet, with a single terminal handling domestic and limited international traffic. Immigration queues are short outside Eid rush. Pre-paid taxis and CNG auto-rickshaws reach the city in 20–30 minutes for a few hundred taka. There are no airport metro links, so arrange a hotel pickup if you land late. ATMs and a couple of currency counters operate, but carry some Bangladeshi taka for the cab.
The cool, dry winter from November to February is ideal for the tea estates and the Ratargul swamp forest, with comfortable 18–28°C days. The monsoon (June–September) drenches the region and floods low-lying haors, though the green landscape is dramatic. Sylhet sits just 30 minutes ahead of IST, so jet lag is a non-issue and a morning departure from Bangalore can have you sipping tea in Srimangal the same evening.
Prefer a single PNR through Dhaka if you want guaranteed re-protection on a delay. If you self-connect in Kolkata, fly the first leg early so you have a fallback later flight, and keep cabin baggage to the 7 kg domestic norm to avoid re-tagging hassles. Check-in for international onward travel at ZYL typically closes 60 minutes before departure. Note that combined India–Bangladesh tickets often cap free checked baggage at 20–30 kg, so confirm the lowest allowance across both carriers.
No. There are zero non-stops on BLR–ZYL. Every itinerary needs at least one stop in Dhaka or Kolkata, adding up to a total journey of roughly 6–8 hours.
Yes. Bangladesh has no visa-on-arrival for Indians. You must apply for a sticker visa via an IVAC centre 2–3 weeks ahead; processing usually takes 5–10 working days.
Total economy round-trips typically run ₹22,000–₹40,000 depending on season and routing, with the cheapest fares in February–April and August–September.
Via Kolkata (CCU) is shortest, as Sylhet is only about 350 km away with a 45–55 minute hop; via Dhaka (DAC) offers the most onward domestic feeders, around 40–50 minutes.
Sylhet runs on Bangladesh time, which is 30 minutes ahead of IST (UTC+6 vs UTC+5:30), so jet lag is negligible.
Osmani International (ZYL) is about 10–12 km from the city centre, a 20–30 minute taxi or CNG ride costing a few hundred taka.
