How far is Osmani Airport from central Sylhet?
Osmani International sits about 7 km north of central Sylhet, off the Sylhet-Sunamganj road. A CNG auto-rickshaw or taxi to the city center usually takes 15 to 25 minutes outside peak hours. Most international flights run late evening or overnight, so airport transfers tend to be quick.
When should I book flights from Sylhet to get the best price?
For Gulf routes, booking 4 to 8 weeks ahead generally beats last-minute walk-up fares. For the seasonal London service, 2 to 3 months out is safer. Flightmussy's 12-month fare heatmap shows you the cheapest week across the year so you can pick a date-window before locking in.
