Flying from Chittagong
Bangladesh’s port city of Chittagong has been a key trading point for hundreds of years. Today, it is well served by its modern Shah Amanat International Airport, providing an entry and exit point for leisure and business travellers alike.
Starting life as a WWII airport, today it’s a compact but highly efficient transport centre that welcomes up to 1.5 million passengers every year.
Passengers flying from Chittagong with Qatar Airways will find it to be a relaxed and quietly efficient airport, where staff greet you with a smile and go out of their way to make the start of your journey a pleasant one.
Transportation and parking
The main way to reach Shah Amanat International Airport is via car or taxi, which should be booked in advance by your hotel concierge (it is unadvisable to hail a cab from the roadside, as many unofficial cabs are not metered). Other alternative methods of transport include rickshaws, which can often be quicker and are ideal if you only have a small amount of luggage.
Parking at the airport is relatively good, with 400 spaces available immediately outside the terminal. However, these do tend to be in high demand, so alternative parking areas are located a short distance away from the terminal building.
Arriving at the airport
Passengers flying from Chittagong with Qatar Airways depart from the International Departures area. Check-in areas are located on the lower floor while boarding gates are on the upper floor.
As with all airports, security is very tight and can take some time to clear, so allow at least two hours before your flight is due to board to check in and clear customs and security checks.
Facilities and amenities
The airport is relatively small, so there are limited facilities. However, a Duty-Free shop is available, selling a wide range of goods including perfumes, and there are some food outlets for light snacks and drinks for passengers.
Wi-Fi is available in some areas of the airport, particularly in First and Business Class lounge areas, and there are ATMs and currency exchange facilities too.

Book a flight to Milan with Qatar Airways, and you’ll discover that there is also a lot more to this city than fashion. Plenty of attractions, galleries, opera and high culture make it an art lover’s delight, while business travellers will be drawn to the entrepreneurial spirit of the city and its thriving commercial centre.
Tourist attractions
Milan’s museums house collections of international importance. The best are located in the Pinacoteca di Brera, which can be compared with the greats such as the Louvre in Paris and Madrid's El Prado. The museum is home to Italy’s finest classical art collection, including "The Kiss" by Francesco Hayez. Other must-see museums and galleries include the Pinacoteca Ambrosiana, the Poldi Pezzoli Museum, and the Societa' per le Belle Arti ed Esposizione Permanente for more contemporary art and sculpture.
The Leonardo da Vinci Museum of Science and Technology is a fascinating and interactive museum that looks a little more closely at some of the great man’s scientific inventions and ideas. For opera lovers, the obvious destination has to be La Scala Theatre, one of the world’s most important venues for classical opera. A strangely beautiful attraction is the Art Nouveau cemetery of Cimitero Monumentale, which is filled with lavish sculptures and is effectively the largest open-air Art Nouveau museum in the world.
The Cinque Vie historical district is Milan’s ancient heart, and is where the Roman city grew up. It’s also home to some of the city’s most exclusive boutique shopping, and plenty of espresso bars to keep you refreshed and fuelled up for a busy day’s sightseeing.
