Why Fly to Cox’s Bazar?
Cox’s Bazar is home to the world’s longest natural sea beach — 120 km of unbroken sandy coastline. It’s Bangladesh’s most popular tourist destination, and flying there makes complete sense:
| Travel Method | Duration | Comfort Level |
|---|---|---|
| ✈️ By Air | 55 minutes | High |
| 🚌 By Bus | 10-12 hours | Low to Moderate |
| 🚂 By Train | No direct train | N/A |
That’s a 10x time difference. Instead of spending an entire day on the road (often overnight), you can have breakfast in Dhaka and lunch at the beach.
Important: This is a domestic flight — no passport required. Just bring your National ID card (NID).
