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

Pune lies in western India and Sylhet in the far east of Bangladesh, so a hub change is unavoidable. The cleanest itinerary is PNQ to Kolkata (CCU) on IndiGo — about 2h 30m — followed by the short 45–55 minute international leg into Sylhet on Biman or US-Bangla. A Dhaka routing also works, with a quick 35-minute DAC–ZYL onward hop. Including layovers, plan 7–9 hours; some itineraries route via Mumbai first, which can add 2–3 hours.
With no through-ticket on PNQ–ZYL, most travellers buy an Indian domestic leg plus a Bangladesh international leg separately. Combined economy round-trips typically run ₹23,000–₹40,000 by season. Self-connecting in Kolkata is usually the cheapest approach and can save ₹3,500–₹6,500 over a packaged two-stop fare. Book the domestic leg 4–6 weeks out and leave a 3-hour buffer at CCU to re-check bags.
Indian passport holders cannot get visa-on-arrival for Sylhet. You must apply in advance for a sticker visa via an IVAC centre — Pune residents typically lodge applications at the Mumbai or nearest regional IVAC, with turnaround of 5–10 working days. Carry confirmed return tickets, hotel bookings and 3–6 months of bank statements. Our visa guide details the checklist. There is no e-visa, so begin at least two weeks before departure.
Kolkata is the practical choice from Pune: the first leg stays domestic, fares are lower, and CCU sits closest to Sylhet for the onward international hop. Dhaka suits anyone who also wants to see the capital, with very frequent 180-km DAC–ZYL flights. Steer clear of triple-leg routings via two metros unless the price gap is large, since each extra connection adds time and a chance of misconnection on an already long day.
Sylhet is best from November to February, when the weather is dry, highs hover at 20–27°C and the Srimangal estates glow green. The June–September monsoon brings heavy rain and flooding to the haor basin but knocks 15–25% off airfares. October is an attractive shoulder month with thinner crowds and moderate prices, ideal if your dates are flexible.
ZYL is a compact, modernised airport built around heavy diaspora demand from the UK and Gulf. Arriving from Kolkata or Dhaka, immigration usually takes 30–50 minutes outside the evening peak. The city is about 15 km from the terminal; a prepaid car costs ₹300–₹700 equivalent. Currency counters and SIM kiosks operate near arrivals, so you can sort cash and a local number before leaving.
Bangladesh-leg economy on Biman and US-Bangla generally allows 20–30 kg checked plus 7 kg cabin, but your Indian domestic leg may cap at 15 kg, and self-connections do not pool allowances — confirm both tickets. Excess runs around ₹500–₹700 per kg. For winter trips into Srimangal's tea hills, pack a light jacket, as nights can drop to 12–15°C.
No. You connect via Kolkata or Dhaka, covering about 2,150 km in 7–9 hours including the layover.
An advance sticker visa via IVAC, processed in roughly 5–10 working days. There is no visa-on-arrival or e-visa for Bangladesh.
Combined economy round-trips typically run ₹23,000–₹40,000, with self-connecting via Kolkata often saving ₹3,500–₹6,500.

There is currently no non-stop service between Pune and Sylhet — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 7–9h (1-stop via Kolkata/Dhaka). Comparing hubs side by side often saves 15-30 percent.

Expect Pune–Sylhet fares to vary by cabin, baggage and how the fare is bundled. A bare low-cost fare can end up dearer than a full-service carrier ticket once you add a bag and a seat.
