You can arrive at Bangladesh by land (bus) from India or by air. Airlines flying to Bandladesh include:

• Star Alliance – Singapore, Thai
• Oneworld – Dragonair
• Sky Team – China Southern
• Other selected – Biman Bangladesh, most airlines from Persian Gulf and Indian subcontinent

TIP fares to/from Bangladesh tend to be high compared with India.

TIP check out fares to Malaysia, with flights to/from Bangladesh on low cost airline Air Asia.

TIP Bangladesh is tricky to include on an award ticket from Europe or a mileage based round the world ticket due to the absence of flights to/from Europe (other than Biman Bangladesh).
