Cheap flights from Warsaw to Dhaka

March is the cheapest month on this route, and the price calendar on this page shows what the rest of the year looks like. Fares climb in the run-up to Christmas and New Year, when families travel, and again around Eid, when demand into Bangladesh peaks. Midweek departures are usually quieter and cheaper than flying at the start or the end of the weekend. Book a few months ahead for winter and spring travel, and earlier still for the summer. In Dhaka, the cool dry months from late autumn into spring are the most comfortable for arriving, while the heat and rain in the middle of the year take some getting used to.

No airline flies this route non-stop, so every option on the list means at least one change. Fly Dubai and Air Arabia are the low-cost names here, and their fares usually cover the seat and a cabin bag only, with checked luggage and meals added at booking. Qatar Airways and Etihad Airways are full-service Gulf carriers, so baggage and meals come with the ticket. Turkish Airlines, Lufthansa, Austrian, Finnair and Air China connect through their home hubs and are full-service as well. LOT Polish Airlines is the home carrier, which can make the first leg simpler if you are starting in Poland.

Dhaka is served by Hazrat Shahjalal International, the country's main gateway, sitting a short drive north of the city centre. Prepaid taxis and ride-hailing apps are the usual way into town, with buses and auto-rickshaws for shorter hops, though traffic can turn a short distance into a long ride at almost any hour. Change money at the airport or at a bank in town rather than with street sellers, and keep your arrival card and passport within reach for the immigration queue. If you land late at night, arrange your transfer before you fly rather than sorting it out on the pavement.

Country facts: Wikidata

• Decide which Warsaw airport you are leaving from, F. Chopin or Modlin, since a ticket is only valid from the one it names.
• On a low-cost fare, check what is included and add checked baggage when you book rather than at the airport.
• If your trip is split across separate tickets, leave a generous gap between flights in case the first one runs late.
• Make sure your passport has enough validity left and that you hold the visa or entry documents Bangladesh requires.
• Compare fares across the price calendar, because March is the cheapest month and the weeks around it can differ a lot.
