The airline market in Bangladesh has just seen a few new competitors setting up shop, which at first was very good for local travellers but prices have since increased to the point where some might think twice before flying, especially because bus travel is just so cheap in comparison. At the time of research, routes were changing frequently to reflect the growing airline business in Bangladesh. Currently there are services between Dhaka and the major divisional cities (Rajshahi, Jessore, Chittagong, Sylhet and Cox’s Bazaar; and with less frequency Barisal and Saidpur). At the time of research there was also a direct flight between Jessore and Chittagong, which would be very handy for mid-range travellers who want to travel between Sundarban and the Chittagong Hill Tracts, two of Bangladesh’s best destinations, without having to go via Dhaka which would be something like a 16-hour bus ride – it’s not unheard of.
