Baggage Allowance
Domestic flights have standard baggage policies across carriers:
| Class | Checked Baggage | Cabin Baggage |
|---|---|---|
| Economy | 20 kg | 7 kg |
| Business | 30 kg | 8 kg |
What You Should Know
- Excess baggage fees: Typically ৳200-400 per kg over the limit
- Cabin bag dimensions: Usually 55cm x 40cm x 20cm (check with your airline)
- Promotional fares: Some ultra-low fares may have reduced baggage — always verify before booking
- Musical instruments, sports equipment: May require special handling — contact the airline in advance
How to Get the Best Fares
After booking thousands of domestic tickets, here’s what actually works:
1. Book 7-14 Days in Advance
Domestic flights don’t need months of advance booking, but last-minute prices are significantly higher. The sweet spot is 1-2 weeks ahead.
2. Fly Midweek
Tuesday, Wednesday, and Saturday often have lower demand than Thursday-Friday (weekend travel) or Sunday-Monday (business travel).
3. Compare All Airlines
The cheapest option changes daily. Yesterday Novoair was cheapest; today it might be US-Bangla. We compare all four carriers for every booking.
4. Be Flexible with Times
Early morning and late evening flights are often cheaper than convenient mid-day slots.
5. Watch for Airline Sales
All domestic carriers run periodic promotions. Biman’s anniversary sales, US-Bangla’s seasonal discounts — these can drop prices 20-30%.

Frequently Asked Questions
How long is the flight from Dhaka to Saidpur?
50-55 minutes flight time. Add 1.5 hours for airport procedures (arrive early, boarding, taxiing), so budget about 3 hours total.
How early should I reach Dhaka airport?
For domestic flights, arrive 1.5 hours before departure. During Eid or peak season, make it 2 hours.
Can I carry extra luggage?
Yes, with excess baggage fees (typically ৳200-400/kg). If you know you’ll have extra luggage, let us know — sometimes pre-purchasing excess baggage online is cheaper.
What if my flight is delayed or cancelled?
Contact us immediately. We’ll work with the airline to rebook you on the next available flight. If you booked through us, we handle everything — you don’t need to queue at the counter.
Is there a business class option?
Most Dhaka-Saidpur flights are economy only due to aircraft size (ATR 72, Dash 8). Some airlines offer “premium economy” seats with extra legroom at ৳500-1,000 more.
Can I book a round-trip ticket?
Yes. Round-trip is typically cheaper than booking two one-way tickets separately. Tell us your return date when you contact us.
Are there any direct international flights from Saidpur?
No. Saidpur is a domestic airport only. For international travel, you’ll need to connect through Dhaka.
