Looking for cheap flights from Surat to Dhaka? FlightGPT compares live STV to DAC 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 Surat to Dhaka non-stop tomorrow, a last-minute weekend deal or the lowest price three months out, every active Surat-Dhaka fare is one search away.
Surat's airport is primarily domestic, with no international wide-body operation to Dhaka, so every itinerary needs a connecting point. Kolkata is geographically the most logical hub — CCU–DAC is barely 1 hour by air — but Surat's frequent links favour Mumbai and Delhi too. Plan on STV–hub of 1.5–2.5 hours, a layover, then the short hop to Dhaka. Total journey time lands around 7–10 hours depending on the connection.
Kolkata gives the shortest final sector and the most frequencies, served by IndiGo, Biman Bangladesh and US-Bangla Airlines, plus Air India. If your Surat schedule pushes you through Delhi or Mumbai instead, the DAC leg lengthens to roughly 2 hours from Delhi. Book the whole journey on one ticket where possible so a missed connection isn't your financial problem. Confirm that your through-baggage is checked all the way to Dhaka.
This is the single most important planning step. Bangladesh does not grant visa on arrival to Indian tourists — you must apply in advance for a sticker visa through the IVAC (Indian Visa Application Centre network operated for Bangladesh). You'll submit your passport, photographs, the online application, proof of travel and funds, and collect the visa before you fly. Apply 3–4 weeks ahead. Our visa guide outlines the documents in detail.
Economy round-trips from Surat to Dhaka typically run ₹18,000–₹35,000 depending on season and routing. Kolkata-routed itineraries are often the cheapest because the final leg is so short. Prices climb around Eid, Durga Puja and the October–February dry season. Booking 3–6 weeks ahead and keeping dates flexible by a day or two helps you catch the lower fare buckets on the Dhaka sector.
Dhaka's Hazrat Shahjalal International (DAC) is about 8 km from the city centre, but traffic is notoriously heavy, so the drive can take 45 minutes to well over an hour. Use the official prepaid taxi counter rather than touts. The newly expanded Terminal 3 has eased congestion, though peak-hour immigration queues can still be slow — allow time if you have an onward domestic connection within Bangladesh.
The most comfortable window is the cool, dry season from November to February, which is also the busiest for flights. The pre-monsoon (March–May) turns hot and humid, and the monsoon (June–September) brings heavy rain and occasional flooding that can disrupt road travel. If you're visiting family for festivals, book early — Eid and Puja weeks see fares spike and seats fill fast on the short Kolkata–Dhaka sector.
Economy checked baggage on the Dhaka legs is usually 25–30 kg, but the cheapest Surat fares may include cabin baggage only, so check the through allowance. The local currency is the Bangladeshi Taka; carry some US dollars to exchange on arrival, as Indian Rupees are not widely accepted. Mobile data SIMs (Grameenphone, Robi) are cheap and easy to buy in the city with your passport.

Economy round-trips usually run ₹18,000–₹35,000 depending on season and routing. Kolkata-routed fares are often cheapest as the final leg is barely 1 hour.
Kolkata — CCU–DAC is only about 1 hour by air, versus roughly 2 hours from Delhi. It also has the most daily frequencies on the sector.
Hazrat Shahjalal (DAC) is about 8 km from central Dhaka, but heavy traffic can stretch the drive to 45–90 minutes. Use the prepaid taxi counter.
Bangladesh runs on UTC+6, so Dhaka is 30 minutes ahead of Indian Standard Time (UTC+5:30) — a minimal adjustment for travellers.
Surat to Dhaka prices swing with demand, season and lead time more than with any single airline. The reliable lever is comparison: pull every STV–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 Surat–Dhaka trip, the trick is to check all carriers at once rather than one app at a time. FlightGPT's live STV-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 Surat and Dhaka — itineraries connect via a hub, with a typical journey of ≈ 7–10h (1-stop via Delhi/Mumbai/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 Surat Dhaka ticket but are open to a layover.
On Surat 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 Surat Dhaka fares across — the cheapest all-in option, not the lowest sticker that balloons at checkout.
