Launches did run to Barguna at both 2026 Eids. 260 km, official deck ceiling about Tk 751. Check which days it sails before travelling.

Airlines

Biman Bangladesh Airlines

Biman only, three days a week: in August-October 2026 flights ran on Friday and Sunday mornings (Dhaka 08:30 to Barishal 09:20; return 09:45 to Dhaka 10:30) and Thursday evenings (Dhaka 16:50 to Barishal 17:40; return 18:05 to Dhaka 18:50); the flights of 8 and 9 Oct 2026 are in the schedule too. On some days the time moves by about 20 minutes (on Sunday 4 October it left Dhaka at 08:10). US-Bangla's schedule has no Barishal flights in October-November 2026 and its August 2026 statement does not list Barishal among its domestic destinations; Novoair and Air Astra do not fly here either. Biman's own schedule page could not be opened, so days and times come from two separate flight trackers (Avionio and FlightAware) that agree; days may change with the winter schedule from 25 October, so confirm with Biman before booking.
