The route
What the journey actually looks like
Direct or connecting, how far the route really runs, and what happens when a connection is missed.
- Direct or connecting
- 50% of the services we sell on this corridor run through without a change. The remaining 50% involve one connection.
- How far it really runs
- The route covers 2,245 km against 2,179 km in a straight line, a detour of 3 percent. Track and road geometry account for the difference.
- Where the change is
- Connections are made at Hyderabad, Chennai, Mumbai, Bengaluru. The gap between arriving and leaving is 46 minutes, of which about 5 is walking.
- If the connection is missed
- The tightest connection we sell here has a 20 percent chance of not being made on the timetable alone. Part of this journey is a self transfer between separate tickets, so leave more time than the minimum and expect to check in again.
- First and last departure
- The first service of the day leaves Colombo at 06:30 and the last at 14:49, across 8 departures. The return direction keeps its own timetable, so the times back are not these times reversed.

Dhaka is large, and the road in from DAC can take longer than the last hour of the flight. Cars are not our business.

Settled in advance, so the ride into Dhaka costs what it said it would rather than what the cab stand says.

Observed service A carrier record shows this named operator serving this named pair, and we carry that through unchanged.
