The usual routes

From Melbourne the usual one-stop routes connect in Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Bangkok, Colombo, Doha or Dubai. Which one is cheapest changes with the season, so we compare them for your dates rather than sticking to one airline.

Melbourne has a wide choice of airlines, and Colombo connections are worth a look on some dates.

How long it takes

Most one-stop trips take about 14 to 20 hours door to door, including the connection. A short connection saves time but leaves less room if the first flight runs late. We pick connections with a sensible gap.

When fares go up

Before both Eids: in 2027 Eid al-Fitr is expected around 10 March and Eid al-Adha around 17 May (the dates follow the moon).
December and January, when Australian school holidays meet family visits home.
Book two to three months ahead for these weeks. Outside them, a few weeks is usually enough.

Baggage

The allowance depends on the airline and the fare. Many economy fares on this route include generous checked baggage, but some cheaper fares do not. Every Tumgo quote states the allowance, so you can compare fares on the real price.

Documents

Bangladeshi passport: valid for at least six months.
Australian passport of a person of Bangladeshi origin: a No Visa Required (NVR) endorsement, or a visa. Other passports need a visa.
Some connections need a transit visa, depending on your passport and the airport. We check this for the route we offer.
Rules change, so confirm with the Bangladesh High Commission in Canberra before you fly.
