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

Since no direct flight exists, the practical builds are CNN–Chennai–DAC and CNN–Kolkata–DAC. The Chennai feeder runs about 1h 15m with frequent departures, then a Chennai–Dhaka sector of roughly 2h 30m on IndiGo. The Kolkata build is longer to reach but ends with a 50-minute hop, often the cheapest overall. Gulf-hub routings via Sharjah or Dubai exist but stretch total travel past 12 hours and only make sense if you are already transiting the Gulf.
Economy round-trips typically run ₹19,000 to ₹35,000 depending on season and lead time. Kolkata-connection itineraries are usually the lowest; Gulf-hub fares can climb past ₹42,000 at peak. Booking 4–7 weeks ahead and avoiding Eid and December keeps you in the cheaper band. A split ticket via Kolkata can occasionally save ₹3,000–5,000, but you forfeit baggage protection if a connection is missed.
Indian passport holders must obtain a Bangladesh visa before departure — no visa-on-arrival. Apply through IVAC or the Bangladesh High Commission with passport, photographs, confirmed tickets and proof of funds; processing usually takes 3–7 working days, and tourist visas are commonly valid for up to 30 days. Begin at least two weeks ahead. Our visa guide sets out the document list.
November to early March is Dhaka's most comfortable window, with highs of 24–28°C and low humidity. The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and the year's lowest fares; April–May is hot and humid. For a good balance, target February–March, after the December peak. Eid weeks bring the steepest fare spikes out of both Chennai and Kolkata, so plan around them.
Kannur International (CNN) is a newer, uncongested airport; arrive about 2.5 hours before an international connection. Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal (DAC) now runs the larger Terminal 3, easing the old congestion, though immigration can still take 30–60 minutes at peak arrivals. If transiting Chennai, allow time to move between domestic and international terminals.
Economy allowances are generally 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, but a low-cost leg can drop you to 15 kg — confirm before booking. Bangladesh permits limited duty-free electronics and gold within personal-use thresholds; declare anything beyond. Carry some Bangladeshi taka or USD on arrival, since card acceptance can be inconsistent away from larger Dhaka hotels.
From Dhaka, frequent 50–75 minute domestic flights reach Chittagong, Sylhet and Cox's Bazar on US-Bangla, Biman and Novoair. Sylhet is a common diaspora onward stop. To price-shop the long leg, compare a Calicut to Dhaka fare from a nearby Kerala airport and feed in whichever is cheaper.
No. All routings are 1-stop via Chennai, Kolkata or a Gulf hub, with total travel of about 5h 45m to 7h 30m. The Kolkata–Dhaka leg alone is only about 50 minutes.
Yes. Indian citizens must get a Bangladesh visa in advance — there is no visa-on-arrival. Processing takes about 3–7 working days and tourist visas are commonly valid for up to 30 days.
Economy round-trips typically range ₹19,000–₹35,000 depending on season, with Gulf-hub fares exceeding ₹42,000 at peak; Kolkata-routed fares are usually the cheapest.
Kolkata is usually cheapest with a 50-minute final hop; Chennai offers a 1h 15m feeder and a 2h 30m last leg with frequent departures. Both keep travel near 6–7 hours.
Dhaka is 30 minutes ahead of India (UTC+6 vs IST UTC+5:30), so a 6-hour journey leaving at 9:00 am lands around 3:30 pm local time.
The June–September monsoon and February–April windows have the lowest fares. Booking 4–7 weeks ahead and avoiding Eid keeps prices in the ₹19,000–25,000 band.
