Looking for cheap flights from Chennai to Chittagong? FlightGPT compares live MAA to CGP fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side. Whether you want a Chennai to Chittagong non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Chennai-Chittagong fare is one search away.
Chennai (MAA) has no direct Chittagong service, so you connect. The shortest path is via Kolkata (CCU), the nearest Indian metro to Bangladesh, with onward flights to CGP directly or via Dhaka. Routing through Dhaka (DAC) opens more frequencies but adds a leg. Total time depends heavily on layover length: a tight 1.5-hour connection lands you in well under 6 hours; a longer one stretches toward 7. Through-ticketing protects the connection.
IndiGo and Air India handle most Chennai departures to the hubs. Into Chittagong, US-Bangla and Biman Bangladesh are the main operators — often via Dhaka — while IndiGo covers the India–Bangladesh metro segments with A320-family jets. If your booking passes through the capital, see our Chennai to Dhaka guide for that leg.
Economy round-trips on Chennai–Chittagong typically fall in the ₹18,000–₹35,000 range. The cheapest window is the May–September monsoon shoulder; November–February and the Eid weeks are dearest, with fares rising 25–40%. Booking 6–8 weeks out and flying mid-week trims the cost. Always compare a CGP through-fare against a Dhaka ticket plus a separate DAC–CGP domestic add-on, which can be cheaper.
A Bangladesh visa obtained in advance is mandatory — there is no tourist visa-on-arrival for Indians. Apply via IVAC or the High Commission with passport, photos, confirmed return ticket and hotel or host proof. Processing typically takes 3–7 working days; budget 2 weeks, more in peak season. Medical travellers should request the medical category. Our visa guide covers the document checklist.
CGP lies about 12 km from central Chittagong. Being smaller than Dhaka, immigration generally clears in 20–40 minutes. Taxis and ride-hailing reach the city centre and port in 30–45 minutes. Carry Bangladeshi taka for transport and a SIM card; outside major hotels, card payments are not widely accepted. Hotels cluster near GEC Circle and Agrabad.
International economy on the Bangladesh legs usually allows 20–30 kg checked baggage, while a domestic-only Chennai segment may include just 15 kg. Confirm the through-allowance to avoid transfer charges. Cabin baggage is typically 7 kg, and power banks must stay in your hand luggage. The climate is hot and humid for much of the year.
November–February is the most pleasant window for Chittagong (about 18–28°C, low rain). The May–September monsoon brings heavy coastal rainfall and a cyclone risk on the Bay of Bengal that can cause delays of several hours or more. If budget is the priority, that wet shoulder is also the cheapest, often 25–35% below peak. Account for the 30-minute time gain into Bangladesh when planning same-day appointments, and allow 30–45 minutes for the airport-to-city taxi. For onward travel deeper into Bangladesh, our Chennai to Dhaka notes cover the capital leg.
