DHAKA, Sept 10, 2024 (BSS) - Biman Bangladesh Airlines has announced a reduction in ticket prices for Umrah pilgrims travelling from Bangladesh to Jeddah and Madinah.

Biman has opened all booking classes, allowing Umrah pilgrims to purchase tickets under any available fare classes or Reservation Booking Designators (RBD), similar to regular passengers, a Biman's press release said here today.

Previously, Umrah tickets were restricted to two specific RBD.

This change applies across all distribution channels, offering more flexibility and options for travellers.

Pilgrims who book their tickets early will benefit from the lowest available fares.

Additionally, those planning to start their Umrah journey by travelling directly from Bangladesh to Madinah will receive attractive discounts on their tickets, said the release.
