Us over here in Singapore owe the Bangladesh people many thanks for helping build our public housing and other infrastructure that keeps our little island going. ❤ I find they’re such avgeeks too, lots of love for their flag carrier Biman and they love planespotting! This video is gonna do much better than you can imagine.
Thank you Bangladesh too for helping to build and maintained Singapore. I am in the healthcare line and i received many Bangladeshi vaia to come my clinic for treatment daily... They are the nicest patients and i made many good friends. Every Friday without fail i will provide some food for them. I got lots of thanks and smiles. All i want from them is to make dua for me and my clinic .. to help and give more to those in need regardless of race language or religion. Thank you
Thank you so much for your nice words towards us. I am a Bangladeshi living in the UK and I'm feeling proud of my brothers who are living in the Singapore. Lots of love. 💙
lol singapore is developed due to singaporeans not beacuse of bangladesh. singapore is rich and developed due to hard work of singaporeans and bangaldesh is poor due to their own people.
Biman have improved tremendously since the introduction of the B787. Their previous service to Manchester with DC-10s was disasterous, often operating off-schedule due to technical reasons. It is now very reliable and as you observed, a pretty good product.
I have flown them on their old B777 from London to Sylhet and returned to the UK on an A310 from Sylhet to Dhaka swapping to a 777 from Dhaka to London back in 2015. It was an overall pleasant experience and friendly staff. The fruit juice served at boarding on the domestic segment was delicious!

BIMAN BANGLADESH AIRLINES is a decent airlines I must say, there is a lot of room for improvement and it is high time for them to bring changes and do better
I flown many airlines, And found Binan Bangladesh provide Awesome service. Food and entertainment is great. And it’s very clean and better than many airlines. It is a great airline. AWESOME.
I tell you what,...food, or cabin interiors aside, Biman has some of the best pilots ! They do a lot of smooth 'Butter' landings....Iv seen quite a few.
Biman looks quiet impressive to do a long haul journey. I hope Felix enjoyed his stay in Bangladesh. Btw the pronunciation of 'Hansa' in 'Raj-hansa' is the same as 'Luft-hansa'. :)
@@brownvoltaire2722 You can't Judge an airlines based on food. Biman also has another organisation called BFCC who are succesfully providing catering service for many others renowned Airlines operating from Bangladesh.
Really enjoyed this review, thank you! I spent some time in Bangladesh in the 00s and Biman was... not well-regarded, to say the least. It looks like it's getting lots better and I'm excited to see the improvements! Heads up that the H in "Sylhet" is not pronounced -- you could even say "shill-ETT" if you wanted, since in Bangla there are 3 different letters pronounced "sh" -- and the emphasis in "Dhaka" is on the first syllable. :) I'm off to watch your other Biman videos for some deshi nostalgia!
Biman Bangladesh Airlines needs to serve specialty foods instead of rice, lentils and curries. Bangladeshi cuisine is rich in flavorful and tasty foods.
The best thing about Simply Aviation is that you fly on Economy class, and that's where bulk of the passengers travel. So it makes a whole lot of sense, unlike some other youtubers who only fly Business and First class (PS: Can I get a ❤ back I edited it from Simple to Simply and the like disappeared😭)
Good point Wasim - some YTers seem to just use YT as an excuse to fund luxury trips for themselves, so not a 'real world' experience at all. Felix and David provide a useful and honest service we can relate to here on Simply Aviation.
Roots in Bangladesh, Im a Indian Bengali who has a special place for Bangladesh in my heart. Though I have never visited Bangladesh despite having relatives in Rajsahi, Dhaka and Khulna. Bangladesh is a really beautiful country
Interesting video. Although I do not see myself in that part of the world anytime soon, it is always a pleasure to see how these non-mainstream airlines operate. Keep up the good work.
Biman is a traditional full-service airline with a long history, long-haul service, a modern fleet, AND the national flag carrier of one of the world's most populous countries. So, I don't see why it's "non-mainstream". It might not be as famous as Lufthansa or Emirates, its service may be limited in the number of destinations, and its home base may be located in a largely underdeveloped country out of the itinerary of the majority of international tourists and businesspeople, but still, there's nothing out of the ordinary, marginal, or outlandish in Biman to place it out of the mainstream. Plus, as we saw in this video, its service may not be spectacular, but it's still better than what I've seen in recent Lufthansa reviews.
Now it's a new Bangladesh . Free of Dictator who ruled for 15+ years . Everything will change including service of Biman Bangladesh. Bangladesh is poor but people are so friendly, helpful with a smile in their face always. Please fly Biman and visit Bangladesh.
Thanks a lot for such a precise review of our national carrier. Biman has indeed came a long way over the years. As a Bangladeshi citizen, I'd pray that it'd continue to move towards success in future.
I love biman and always fly with them and their business class is top class.. i am travelling to bd next month and can’t wait ❤❤. Very nice video thanks mate
Beautiful review of Biman Bangladesh Airlines, I am really impressed with the interiors of the aircraft and the service on board. Cheers from Mumbai India ❤️💜💚💜
Nice to see you finally made a TR on Biman. I hope you enjoyed the flight. Issues with blankets are pretty normal, maybe that's on demand. I saw the same thing in Turkish Airlines economy class while flying from Istanbul to Chicago, they didn't provide any blankets. I don't know whether you have flown to one of their Dash 8 but if not then do so next time. Also suggesting to make TR on the following services of Biman 1) Dhaka to Kathmandu or vice versa (VV) 2) Dhaka to Singapore or Kuala Lumpur or VV 3) Dhaka to any middle eastern destination or VV. Make sure you get a Boeing 777 here. 4) And offcourse the Toronto flight. Hope you will get an overall idea about Biman. Enjoy your upcoming journeys.
Also , do remember to check out my channel and my videos about airplanes as I am a big fan of them and do remember to subscribe to my channel and leave a like on my videos and comment
A unique aspect about Syhlet airport is that only the light aircraft gets remote stands which may not sound unique to some of you at first bit's the airside transfer buses they use they aren't the usual Cobus 3000 they're actually just minibuses like the things that do the school run.
Biman has improved a lot since my last flight almost two decades ago. Great review, thanks for your time and effort. Dhaka airport experience is a disappointment though, hopefully that will change for better with the 3rd terminal opening next year.
Worth noting that their B787-9 business class has a 1-2-1 configuration. Biman also charge significantly more if you plan to get off at Sylhet especially since FlyDubai stopped their Dubai - Sylhet service back in 2019.
Great and honest review. Not that you should have had to, but did you not ask for a blanket? No alcohol service for beverages means Biman isn't trying to diversify its passenger base. Biman remains for Bangladeshi passengers with just a handful of other passengers onboard if any. But new aircrafts and mostly non-stop flights make Biman relatively attractive for mostly Bangladeshi passengers (no food or language issues). After some terrible management issues of the past, the airline is trying to turn a corner. But we have been disappointed many times before. I will be flying in one of Biman's 787-8s from Manchester to Dhaka (via the pit stop at Sylhet) in a few weeks' time. Note: A second hot meal service (breakfast or supper) in a 10 hour flight is fast disappearing amongst European and North American carriers. Biman must maintain its edge here. Lots of Biman food means lots of Biman passengers.
Love travelling via emirates to Bangladesh the only thing for me is with family don’t like stopping in Dhaka and then making a 6 hours car journey to sylhet which is why we just go for the biman London to sylhet.
Great video! As for feedback re this being filmed by Felix - I thought the footage he captured was just as good as we are used to :) the only thing I would say though, is at the beginning I found it somewhat confusing that Felix's footage was being narrated by David in the first person (e.g. "I ordered a vegetarian meal) when David wasn't actually there. Personally I'd find it a little clearer if David is narrating for him to use 3rd person "Felix ordered a vegetarian meal" etc. But that's only a minor issue - another excellent review as always!
Bimans food was epic back in their dc 10 days. I remember their catering was so good they used to supply emirates and other top international airline. Their food has gone downhill big time. Still good but no where tge quality it once was. Bimans aervice has improved greatly ever since they aquired their new boeing 777 and 787 fleet.
I think that Bengali is the 8th most spoken language on Earth being the language of Bangladesh and West Bengal plus it's also spoken in some other states of India around that area.
It’s spoken in Bangladesh, West Bengal, Tripura, Lower Assam. It’s the 4th most spoken language in the world. After English, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish. It’s definitely has 300+ million speakers.
We need more direct routes from Bangladesh to European countries like France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and even Italy. At one point, there were routes from Dhaka to New York, Dhaka to Tokyo and even Dhaka to Athens. Doesn't have to be Biman operating those routes. It would be better if Dhaka gets airlines like Lufthansa, KLM, Qantas, Air France, ANA etc. I don't know why they discontinued those routes as they would help the country but quite a lot. Let's hope when HSIA T3 is fully operational, new routes come or continue the discontinued ones.
14:50 Yes! But only if the layover is not long enough. Better, if I don't have to - disembark, aimlessly tour the airport, and embark again in another flight. 🙂
I’m 3 months late to this video, but I remember commenting like 5 years ago for you to fly Biman Bangladesh Airlines and finally you did! And yes Biman has improved alot with their new Boeing 787. I’m a Sylhetti and live in London and so Biman is a convenient flight
Biman Bangladesh looks like an astoundingly good airline. That said, I love layovers. Probably I would choose any middle east airline just for the layover. Thanx for the video.
Thank you for featuring Biman in brutally honest segment.Felix is quite lucky since a huge number of passengers flying between LHR-ZYL are super unruly,loud and they try their very best to make the aircraft a junkyard,there were reports of vandalism by passengers on this route despite Biman's effort to give a better service compared to what it was literally 10 years back. Biman should include more contents especially western ones in their ife system since they are now flying YYZ and has plans to fly to JFK. For flights between LHR-DAC Gulf air certainly has an edge not only over Biman but also over Emirates (accept for the ICE)thanks to it's relatively modern product which Emirates T7s which fly to Dhaka doesn't offer. Looking forward to the opinion of yours regarding other Bangladeshi carriers.
Hello there. Thanks for flying to Bangladesh by biman Bangladesh airlines. Just let you know our crew will supply the blanket after after serving dinner. Also if anyone ask them for a blanket iam sure they will offer you Evan before serving the meal. Thanks again for flying with biman Bangladesh airlines. I hope your journey was fantastic .and you are always welcome to Bangladesh ❤️
I think, on the LHR - DAC route GulfAir is the best option. As I tried most of the other available options where I found Gulf has a wide variety of positive add-ons.
@@brianmcdonald6519 I think it may be because Aeromexico purchased the US aircraft from US airlines and rather than change the registration, they left it alone. My friend told me that getting a vehicle from aboard registered in Mexico can be a very labyrinthine process, with so many rules and restrictions, and Mexico has it own agency that deals with foreign registrations. He doesn't know the US equivalent for this agency.
Because the 787 is LEASED, not owned. Hense the US/ American 🇺🇲 Registry. N966AM, AM for Aero Mexico 🇲🇽. I remember years ago, Avianca Colombia 🇨🇴 flying Jets with EI- Irish Registration. No AV Designation, just the Colombian Flag, because they were Leased from GPA Guinness Peate Aviation.
Oh My Goodness me that was such an incredible video that take off from London Heathrow was amazing your Commentry was cool that's why we're love aviation!
A few years back I flew Biman from Manchester to sylhet, my home town directly. The flight was pleasant. But luggage was lost. It took them two years to refund and only got a quarter of the compensation 😢... But the in-flight services were wonderful 😊.... thanks the video was of high quality
I suggest you to visit with economy class. As we most of the viewers can only travel in economy class mostly.thank you for visiting Bangladesh you are always welcome to our homeland
I still think Biman has a competitive edge over other airlines in London - Dhaka route as this is a Direct flight (with stop - and no need to offboard) but for other airlines you will need to take transit which might take a longer time.
For flying direct to Sylhet Biman now charges extortionate rates. Before you could travel for £600-£700 a few years ago, now a economy seat costs £1,240 - £1,450. They are always late, then get fined by Heathrow Airport as a result they pass it on to their passengers. Their prices are also extremely high because they got no competition. As a result a lot of people are not able to fly. So, now they charge business class prices for economy. Btw, someone usually comes around with blankets in the evening or some time after take-off, dont know why you didnt get one 😏 Not all the food is edible, specially the round tea-time fritter-like snacks which can give you stomach ache and make you run
Biman is going great on its Toronto-Dhaka route. Actually the best from North America to South Asia. This has been talked about by paxs and employees alike. Biman Bangladesh has set the standard 👏🏻 🇧🇩💯
Bangdesh Biman is giving a Very good service. I travelled 2 times in 2022 from Manchester to Sylhet Excellent customer service. I didn't like Dubai or Qatar airways.
I didn't fly to Bangladesh, but Qatar Airways has world class soft and hard product. The passengers were a bit of a challenge to deal with, but they were excellent.
It's great to see Biman progress from the ex SQ DC10-30 in SQ interior colours, however if you really want to see the best DC10-30 take of check out Biman departing Manchester. Stunning and turn up the volume! Great report here and thank you as always!

Biman never had a crash, and our pilots are known for the smoothest of landings!

8:25 "Biman owns their own poultry farm" ...... Now that is extraordinary service....
Worth noting that their B787-9 business class has a 1-2-1 configuration. Biman also charge significantly more if you plan to get off at Sylhet especially since FlyDubai stopped their Dubai - Sylhet service back in 2019.

Yes, if he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known any different!
I think that Bengali is the 8th most spoken language on Earth being the language of Bangladesh and West Bengal plus it's also spoken in some other states of India around that area.
Bangla is the 3rd most spoken language in the world after Arabic & Mandarin Chinese.
It’s spoken in Bangladesh, West Bengal, Tripura, Lower Assam. It’s the 4th most spoken language in the world.
After English, Mandarin, Hindi, Spanish. It’s definitely has 300+ million speakers.
We need more direct routes from Bangladesh to European countries like France, Germany, Switzerland, Belgium, Netherlands and even Italy. At one point, there were routes from Dhaka to New York, Dhaka to Tokyo and even Dhaka to Athens.
Doesn't have to be Biman operating those routes. It would be better if Dhaka gets airlines like Lufthansa, KLM, Qantas, Air France, ANA etc.
I don't know why they discontinued those routes as they would help the country but quite a lot.
Let's hope when HSIA T3 is fully operational, new routes come or continue the discontinued ones.
Dhaka to Tokyo is back in service now with Biman.
I think New York was applied for but not yet approved by FAA.

I love the airline and routes context at the beginning… thank you
I’ve been waiting for this for ages Thankyou 🇧🇩
I love it. I wish Felix would try the voice over next time
I used to handle Biman DC10 and A310. Good old days.
Thank you for featuring Biman in brutally honest segment.Felix is quite lucky since a huge number of passengers flying between LHR-ZYL are super unruly,loud and they try their very best to make the aircraft a junkyard,there were reports of vandalism by passengers on this route despite Biman's effort to give a better service compared to what it was literally 10 years back.
Biman should include more contents especially western ones in their ife system since they are now flying YYZ and has plans to fly to JFK.
For flights between LHR-DAC Gulf air certainly has an edge not only over Biman but also over Emirates (accept for the ICE)thanks to it's relatively modern product which Emirates T7s which fly to Dhaka doesn't offer.
Looking forward to the opinion of yours regarding other Bangladeshi carriers.
Hello there. Thanks for flying to Bangladesh by biman Bangladesh airlines. Just let you know our crew will supply the blanket after after serving dinner. Also if anyone ask them for a blanket iam sure they will offer you Evan before serving the meal. Thanks again for flying with biman Bangladesh airlines. I hope your journey was fantastic .and you are always welcome to Bangladesh ❤️
I really appreciate the commented videos.
So much more comfortable than reading along all the time.
I think, on the LHR - DAC route GulfAir is the best option. As I tried most of the other available options where I found Gulf has a wide variety of positive add-ons.
1:45 That's so true. Bangladeshis usually tend to pack up the whole contents of their refrigerator & fly it abroad & vice versa
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
Just noticed that the Aeromexico 787 shown at 4:51 is registered N966AM. Don't Mexican aircraft registrations begin with XA or XB?
Apparently a lot of their aircraft are U.S. registered. I can't remember the reason, though.
@@brianmcdonald6519 I think it may be because Aeromexico purchased the US aircraft from US airlines and rather than change the registration, they left it alone. My friend told me that getting a vehicle from aboard registered in Mexico can be a very labyrinthine process, with so many rules and restrictions, and Mexico has it own agency that deals with foreign registrations. He doesn't know the US equivalent for this agency.
Because the 787 is LEASED, not owned. Hense the US/ American 🇺🇲 Registry. N966AM, AM for Aero Mexico 🇲🇽. I remember years ago, Avianca Colombia 🇨🇴 flying Jets with EI- Irish Registration. No AV Designation, just the Colombian Flag, because they were Leased from GPA Guinness Peate Aviation.
9:44 that seems like a very narrow walkway
Finally in Bangladesh. Thanks and welcome!
Oh My Goodness me that was such an incredible video that take off from London Heathrow was amazing your Commentry was cool that's why we're love aviation!
That HUD for the map view when you were approaching landing (10:58) is something that should be standard 😁
A few years back I flew Biman from Manchester to sylhet, my home town directly. The flight was pleasant. But luggage was lost. It took them two years to refund and only got a quarter of the compensation 😢... But the in-flight services were wonderful 😊.... thanks the video was of high quality
I suggest you to visit with economy class. As we most of the viewers can only travel in economy class mostly.thank you for visiting Bangladesh you are always welcome to our homeland
Thank you to fly with BIMAN
I love painting of Biman Bangladesh airlines!
The flights to Toronto are not nonstop. They operate them with a stopover in Istanbul (from what I remember reading last)
Yes. And now in both directions.
Correct. But it's just a fuel stop and you don't have to get off the plane.
@@rafizsadique4299 I know. But the stop still adds time to the total trip.
Just a technical stop
@@markinboy an extra 1 hour at max.
Good review, impressed with the modern Boeing aircraft
I still think Biman has a competitive edge over other airlines in London - Dhaka route as this is a Direct flight (with stop - and no need to offboard) but for other airlines you will need to take transit which might take a longer time.
Hopefully Biman will be able to resume services to the US eventually!
For flying direct to Sylhet Biman now charges extortionate rates. Before you could travel for £600-£700 a few years ago, now a economy seat costs £1,240 - £1,450. They are always late, then get fined by Heathrow Airport as a result they pass it on to their passengers. Their prices are also extremely high because they got no competition. As a result a lot of people are not able to fly. So, now they charge business class prices for economy. Btw, someone usually comes around with blankets in the evening or some time after take-off, dont know why you didnt get one 😏
Not all the food is edible, specially the round tea-time fritter-like snacks which can give you stomach ache and make you run
Biman is going great on its Toronto-Dhaka route. Actually the best from North America to South Asia. This has been talked about by paxs and employees alike. Biman Bangladesh has set the standard 👏🏻 🇧🇩💯
btw the "h" in Sylhet is silent.
The last time I flew to Sylhet was on a DC-10
Bangdesh Biman is giving a Very good service.
I travelled 2 times in 2022 from Manchester to Sylhet
Excellent customer service.
I didn't like Dubai or Qatar airways.
I didn't fly to Bangladesh, but Qatar Airways has world class soft and hard product. The passengers were a bit of a challenge to deal with, but they were excellent.
THAN YOU! FINALLY A BIMAN REVIEW! THANKS A LOT GUYS!
David, nice to see you are using aerolopa: amazing seating maps !!!
Thanks for flying with biman , sir😊
from Sylhet, Bangladesh ❤.
It's great to see Biman progress from the ex SQ DC10-30 in SQ interior colours, however if you really want to see the best DC10-30 take of check out Biman departing Manchester. Stunning and turn up the volume! Great report here and thank you as always!
Can you do review for flight from Toronto to Dhaka. Amazing flight 5 full meals each way total 10 meals for a return ticket!!
