Why Fly to Barisal?
Barisal — known as the “Venice of the East” — is surrounded by rivers, canals, and lush greenery. It’s the gateway to southern Bangladesh, including the famous Kuakata Sea Beach.
The problem? Getting there by road takes forever. Buses navigate through multiple ferry crossings, and the journey can stretch to 7-8 hours (or longer during monsoon season). Flying cuts that to just 30 minutes.
| Travel Method | Duration | Comfort Level |
|---|---|---|
| ✈️ By Air | 30 minutes | High |
| 🚌 By Bus | 6-8 hours | Low (multiple ferry crossings) |
| 🚢 By Launch | 8-12 hours (overnight) | Moderate |
For business travelers, families with children, or anyone who values their time, flying is the obvious choice.
