Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport

More than six million people use the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport every year to travel around the world. Air Arabia, Qatar Airways, Tiger Airways, and United Airways handle flights from Dhaka, taking travelers to nearby destinations and foreign countries. While you can walk right up to the sales counter and purchase a ticket, you will spend much less when you book your ticket through Orbitz.com. Orbitz lets you search for available flights, find prices on package deals, and plan the perfect vacation quickly.

What to Do with Your Car

Driving to most airports is a hassle because the parking situation is so confusing. The Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport makes parking easy, because it offers two types of parking. Domestic parking lots charge BDT 15, and these lots are near the terminal. If you take an international flight, look for the international parking lots located inside the parking garage beside the terminal. You will pay BDT 50 for three hours of parking, with an additional fee charged for every hour or day that you remain parked in the lot.

Public Transportation to the Airport

Public transportation is a low-cost way to get to the airport. Many locals and tourists use rickshaws, which have seats located behind the bicycles. You can usually get to the airport for a small fee, but the total amount charged depends on the distance the rider travels. Cabs can also get you to the airport for around 200 TK. Baby taxis, which are smaller vehicles, cost only 100 TK to reach the airport.

The Firefly Restaurant

While some airports have dozens of restaurants, the Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport has just one restaurant. Firefly serves fast and simple authentic dishes like fried rice and spicy balls filled with meat and vegetables. Orbitz.com does not provide sales on local restaurants, but you can get discounts on rental cars, flights, and fun activities. As long as you know when you want to travel, you can find inexpensive flights from Dhaka through Orbitz.
