Looking for cheap flights from Lucknow to Dhaka?

The two sensible builds are LKO–Kolkata–DAC and LKO–Delhi–DAC. Kolkata is geographically the natural gateway — a Lucknow–Kolkata feeder of about 1h 40m, then a quick 50-minute hop into Dhaka on Biman, US-Bangla or IndiGo. The Delhi build offers more carrier choice and a direct 2h 15m DEL–DAC sector but is a longer backtrack. For pure distance, Kolkata is the shortest path; for frequency, Delhi competes.
Economy round-trips typically range ₹14,000 to ₹28,000, with Kolkata-routed fares usually the cheapest given the short hop. Eid and December peaks can push prices toward ₹34,000. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead and travelling mid-week trims the cost. With feeder legs this short, a through ticket generally beats self-connecting once you weigh baggage protection and the risk of a missed connection.
Indian passport holders need a Bangladesh visa in advance; there is no visa-on-arrival. Apply via IVAC or the Bangladesh High Commission with passport, photos, confirmed return 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 before travel. See our visa guide for the document checklist.
November to February is Dhaka's most comfortable window, with highs of 24–28°C and low humidity — best for sightseeing. The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain but the cheapest seats; April–May is hot and humid. For the best price-comfort mix, aim for late February to early April, after the December peak. Eid weeks bring the sharpest fare jumps on Kolkata and Delhi connections.
Lucknow's Chaudhary Charan Singh International (LKO) handles both domestic and international flights; arrive about 2.5 hours before an international connection. Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal (DAC) now runs the larger Terminal 3, easing congestion, though immigration can take 30–60 minutes at peak. If connecting via Kolkata, the change between domestic and international terminals needs a little buffer.
Economy allowances are typically 25–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, but a low-cost leg can drop you to 15 kg — verify before booking. Bangladesh permits limited duty-free electronics and gold within personal-use limits; declare anything above. Carry some Bangladeshi taka or USD on arrival, as card acceptance is uneven outside larger Dhaka hotels and shops.
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 onward stop. If you want to price-check the long leg, compare a Kolkata to Dhaka fare and feed in cheaply from Lucknow.
No non-stop exists. You connect via Kolkata or Delhi, with total travel of 4h 30m to 7 hours. The Kolkata–Dhaka leg is only about 50 minutes; the Delhi–Dhaka leg about 2h 15m.
Yes. A Bangladesh visa must be obtained in advance — there is no visa-on-arrival for Indians. Processing takes about 3–7 working days and tourist visas are often valid for up to 30 days.
Economy round-trips typically range ₹14,000–₹28,000, rising toward ₹34,000 during Eid and December; Kolkata-routed fares are usually the cheapest.
Kolkata is the shortest path with a 50-minute final hop after a 1h 40m feeder; Delhi has more frequencies and a 2h 15m last leg but is a longer backtrack.
Dhaka is 30 minutes ahead of India (UTC+6 vs IST UTC+5:30), so a 5-hour journey leaving at 8:00 am arrives around 1:30 pm local time.
February–April and September see the lowest fares. Booking 4–8 weeks ahead and travelling mid-week keeps prices in the ₹14,000–20,000 band.
Lucknow to Dhaka prices swing with demand, season and lead time more than with any single airline. The reliable lever is comparison: pull every LKO–DAC fare at once and shift your date by a day or two. Mid-week and red-eye departures on are usually where the cheapest seats sit.
For a same-week Lucknow–Dhaka trip, the trick is to check all carriers at once rather than one app at a time. FlightGPT's live LKO-DAC search does exactly that — red-eye and early-morning departures often carry the lowest last-minute prices. Enter your date above to compare instantly.
There is currently no non-stop service between Lucknow and Dhaka — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 4h 30m–7h (1-stop via Delhi/Kolkata). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent. FlightGPT lets you filter by "Direct only" or compare both side by side — useful when you want the cheapest Lucknow Dhaka ticket but are open to a layover.
On Lucknow to Dhaka, the headline price and the price you actually pay can differ once baggage and seat selection are added. That's why FlightGPT compares fully-bundled Lucknow Dhaka fares across — the cheapest all-in option, not the lowest sticker that balloons at checkout.
