The journey from the calm fjords of Oslo to the vibrant, energetic streets of Dhaka is a voyage between two worlds. Whether you are returning home to visit family and friends, embarking on a business venture in the textile industry, or working with international development organizations, Ready2Go is your dedicated partner for this long-haul journey.
Flying from Oslo (OSL) to Dhaka (DAC) involves complex logistics, crossing continents and time zones. Unlike short European hops, this route requires careful planning regarding layovers, baggage allowances, and transit visas. At Ready2Go, we specialize in simplifying this process, providing a secure and personalized booking experience for the Bangladeshi community in Norway and Norwegian travelers alike.
For many of our clients, a trip to Dhaka is more than a vacation—it is a homecoming. We understand the specific needs that come with Visiting Friends and Relatives (VFR) travel, and we offer a service level that automated booking engines cannot replicate.
1. Baggage Allowance Experts
We know that traveling to Bangladesh often involves bringing gifts for loved ones. Standard baggage allowances are rarely enough. Our travel specialists are experts in finding fares that offer generous weight limits (often two checked bags or more). We can help you filter options specifically for baggage capacity so you don't face expensive surprises at the check-in counter.
2. Managing Complex Connections
There are no direct flights from Oslo to Dhaka. This means your itinerary will involve a transfer, typically through major hubs in the Middle East or Europe. We analyze connection times to ensure they are realistic—long enough to transfer comfortably, but short enough to minimize travel fatigue. If a flight is delayed and a connection is missed, having a local Norwegian agency to handle the rebooking is invaluable compared to being stuck in a foreign airport with no support.
3. Trust and Security
Booking through Ready2Go means you are protected by Norwegian consumer rights. We offer transparent pricing with no hidden fees. For long-haul tickets that represent a significant investment, this financial security and local accountability provide peace of mind.
Departure from Gardermoen:
Your journey begins at Oslo Airport Gardermoen. Because this is a long journey (often 12 to 15+ hours depending on connections), we recommend choosing a departure time that allows you to rest on the longest leg of the flight.
Arrival at Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport (DAC):
You will land at Dhaka’s primary international gateway in Kurmitola.
Airport Navigation: The airport is bustling and can be overwhelming for first-time visitors. It is currently undergoing significant expansion to modernize its terminals.
Arrival Logistics: Immigration lines can be long during peak arrival times (late night/early morning). We advise having all your documents printed and ready.
Getting to the City: Traffic in Dhaka is legendary. The airport is located in the north of the city. Depending on whether you are heading to Gulshan, Banani, or Motijheel, travel times can vary wildly. We can advise on pre-arranged transport options to ensure a safe and smooth transfer to your residence or hotel.
To ensure your trip is as smooth as possible, here is expert advice tailored for travelers from Norway:
Visas: Most Norwegian citizens need a visa to enter Bangladesh. While "Visa on Arrival" is sometimes available for certain categories, rules change frequently. We strongly recommend arranging your visa via the embassy in Oslo or Stockholm before you fly to avoid uncertainty.
Seasonality: The best time to travel is during the cool, dry winter months (October to March). From April to September, the heat is intense, and the monsoon rains can disrupt travel plans.
Currency: The currency is the Bangladeshi Taka (BDT). It is a "closed currency," meaning you typically cannot obtain it outside the country. Bring US Dollars or Euros to exchange upon arrival at the airport or authorized banks.
Health: Consult your GP in Norway regarding vaccinations well in advance of your trip.
Visiting Family (VFR): We prioritize itineraries with the shortest total travel time and maximum luggage allowance. We also understand the need for flexible tickets in case family matters require you to stay longer than planned.
Business Travel: For professionals in the garment or shipping sectors, we offer flexible corporate fares that allow for schedule changes and access to airport lounges for working on the go.
NGO & Development: We have experience handling travel for non-profit organizations, ensuring cost-effective routes that meet donor compliance requirements.
Don't leave your important journey to chance. Choose a booking partner who understands the route and values your peace of mind.
