Shahjalal International Airport is Bangladesh’s largest air hub, welcoming millions of passengers annually. As you prepare for your flight from Dhaka, ensure a smooth departure by planning your journey to the airport. The most convenient way to reach the International Terminal, located on the upper floor, is via an official, metered taxi, which your hotel concierge can arrange. Although an airport shuttle bus operates from the city centre, it can be crowded if you have significant luggage. Private hire vehicles and limited parking in the multi-storey car park for 500 vehicles are also available options.
Security is very tight, so allow at least two hours before your flight to check in and clear all checks. Once airside, you will find adequate facilities, including a comfortable VIP lounge for Business and First Class travellers. You can grab light snacks, fast food, or local specialities at the handful of restaurants, or perhaps pick up a gift at the Duty Free shop. For your convenience, currency exchange, ATM facilities and a post office are also available, and Wi-Fi access is offered in some areas of the airport.
Washington D.C. is the epicentre of American history and government, offering a wealth of iconic monuments and world-class museums. This powerful capital city is the heart of the U.S., inviting you to explore its vast cultural and political landscape. You can easily discover the city's key sights along the expansive National Mall, 'America's Front Lawn', which stretches from the U.S. Capitol Building to the dignified Lincoln Memorial. The 59-hectare space is lined with the numerous, free-to-enter Smithsonian museums, which house phenomenal collections. You should visit the National Air and Space Museum to chronicle the history of flight, or journey through the vast array of specimens at the National Museum of Natural History.
Along the Mall, you will find the towering Washington Monument, a 555-foot obelisk honouring the nation's first president. Take time to reflect at the stirring war memorials, including the World War II Memorial, the Korean War Veterans Memorial and the poignant Vietnam Veterans Memorial. For political landmarks, view the White House, the official home of the President, and the majestic U.S. Capitol Building, home to Congress. The city’s distinct, beautiful architecture blends historic buildings with modern infrastructure, creating a truly unique metropolis. For a memorable experience, visiting the Tidal Basin, particularly during the beautiful annual cherry blossom season, is highly recommended. You can also explore the captivating and interactive exhibits at the popular International Spy Museum.
