The best time to visit Bangladesh is in the winter (cold season) when the weather is dry and fresh with temperatures hovering around 18 to 21 degrees Celsius. The winter 'cold season' is from mid-October to the end of February.
Bangladesh has three main seasons: 1. the monsoon or 'wet' season, 2. the 'cold' season and 3. the 'hot' season.
During April, humidity and heat gang up to make conditions rather sauna-like. The 'hot' season (known in Bangladesh as the 'little rainy season') is from mid-March to mid-May.
The rainy season offers unique opportunities to experience this 'riverine' country at its greenest. The monsoon or 'wet' season is from late May to early October.
Despite being considered one of the world's more crowded countries, well over 85% of the people live very peacefully in small villages and hamlets. 'Daffy' Dhaka (the overstuffed capital) and Chittagong (the largest seaport) aside, rural Bangladesh feels relaxed, spacious and friendly. Bangladesh is nestled in the crook of the Bay of Bengal, sharing borders with India and Myanmar, fronting onto the Bay of Bengal. Except for the hilltract regions, the country is largely flat and dominated by the braided strands of the Ganges, Brahmaputra, Jamuna and Karnaphuli rivers. Although almost ignored as a tourist spot in the South Asian region, it offers much more than being just a 'tourist-free' destination...
VISAS: Bangladesh visas are valid for six months from the date of issue and are good for stays of one to three months. The country adheres to 'reciprocal' arrangements, which means the government generally charge visitors whatever their respective country charges for Bangladesh nationals. It is recommended you obtain your visa before departing; they may be difficult to get upon arrival at the airport. It may often be more efficient to write 'business' than 'tourist' for some strange reason.
A Few Basic Stats...

About your last question: "which airlines provide the cheapest ticket to Bangladesh", I would suggest you contact Emirates who are said to be offering special prices. Btw, it is unfortunate but true that the national carrier 'Biman' Bangladesh Airlines are at the deathbed and you may not get its services upto your satisfaction with present level of mismanagement.
Wish you pleasant trip in Bangladesh!
