Looking for cheap flights from Hyderabad to Sylhet? FlightGPT compares live HYD to ZYL fares across every connected source — Indian carriers, Gulf hubs, OTAs and trusted travel agents — and shows the cheapest options side by side.

Osmani International handles mainly Dhaka shuttles and Gulf/UK diaspora flights, with nothing reaching South India directly. From Hyderabad the standard play is the ~1,550 km HYD–CCU leg (about 2h 15m) followed by the short 45–55 minute Kolkata–Sylhet hop, or a route via Dhaka where domestic feeders run all day. Kolkata sits only ~350 km from Sylhet, making it the geographically natural transfer; Dhaka offers the cleaner single-ticket option.
For a single PNR with through-checked bags, route via Dhaka on Biman or US-Bangla, which connect to ZYL several times a day. For the cheapest fare, self-connect in Kolkata, which has frequent non-stops from Hyderabad on IndiGo and Air India. If you book two tickets, allow a 3–4 hour Kolkata layover for double immigration and re-check. Our Hyderabad to Kolkata guide helps you nail the first-leg timing.
Stitching a domestic leg to a short international hop, total economy round-trips typically run ₹21,000–₹38,000, varying with season and booking lead time. The cheapest stretches are February to April and the August–September monsoon lull. Eid weeks and the November–January winter peak can lift one-ways above ₹24,000. Booking around six weeks ahead and flexing dates by a day usually secures the better-value connections.
There is no visa on arrival for Indian passport holders in Bangladesh. Apply for a sticker visa ahead of time through the Bangladesh High Commission via an IVAC centre; processing usually takes 5–10 working days, so lodge the application at least two weeks before travel with confirmed return tickets and hotel bookings. Our visa guide details the documents; ensure your endorsement allows an air arrival at Osmani (ZYL).
Osmani International lies roughly 10–12 km from Sylhet's centre, with a single terminal and short queues outside the Eid rush. Pre-paid taxis and CNG autos run to the city in 20–30 minutes for a few hundred taka, and the Srimangal tea estates are a further 2–3 hours by road. Carry some taka for the cab and arrange hotel pickup if your connecting flight lands late, since night transport options are limited.
The November-to-February dry season is ideal, with comfortable 18–28°C days and clear skies over the tea gardens and haors. The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and seasonal flooding that occasionally disrupts the short ZYL feeders. With Sylhet only 30 minutes ahead of IST, jet lag is a non-issue, so an early Hyderabad departure can place you in tea country the same evening.
If you value re-protection on delays, book through Dhaka on a single PNR. Self-connecting in Kolkata is cheaper but take an early HYD flight to keep a fallback later option and respect the 7 kg domestic cabin limit. Combined India–Bangladesh fares often cap free checked baggage at 20–30 kg, so confirm the lowest common allowance across carriers. International check-in at ZYL closes about 60 minutes before departure.
No. HYD–ZYL has no non-stop; you connect once via Kolkata or Dhaka for a total journey of about 6–8 hours.
Yes — an advance sticker visa via the Bangladesh High Commission's IVAC centres; there is no VoA. Processing takes 5–10 working days.
Total economy round-trips typically run ₹21,000–₹38,000 depending on season, cheapest in February–April and August–September.
Kolkata is closest to Sylhet at about 350 km with a 45–55 minute final hop; Dhaka offers the most daily ZYL feeders at around 40–50 minutes.
Only 30 minutes ahead — Sylhet is UTC+6 versus India's UTC+5:30, so there is no meaningful jet lag.
Osmani International (ZYL) is about 10–12 km from the centre, a 20–30 minute taxi or CNG ride for a few hundred taka.

There is currently no non-stop service between Hyderabad and Sylhet — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 6–8h (1-stop via Kolkata/Dhaka).
