    I’m 22 British born Bangladeshi, my first ever flight was on a family holiday to Sylhet Bangladesh, i was 4 years old and it was my first ever plane ride and it was on a Biman DC-10! I fell in love with aviation since that day, since then I have never travelled back to Bangladesh or flown with Biman, throughout my life I heard some pretty bad things about the airline but seeing your review on it has been refreshing, especially their business class product which I have been so curious about for a long time!

    I've flown Biman in economy a couple of times from London to Dhaka. It was a rather normal experience, food wasn't the best but it was by no means the worst. Legroom wasn't great, although I'm 6'5" so I wouldn't expect a whole lot more. Staff were very pleasant and I wouldn't mind flying them again. I enjoyed the flight and for all that haven't visited Bangladesh is an incredible country.

    First of all, Thanks mate for trying our national flag carrier. To be honest, it's not that much high standard as the other world class airlines are. But Biman is improving day by day. It's not privatized yet. So the modernization process is a bit slower. And the construction of the third terminal of HSIA has already been started. So I don't think, any new wide body aircraft will be ordered by Biman in the near future as it's still run by the Government. But really glad to see a person like you tried Biman.
    Let's hope for the best for Biman Bangladesh Airlines.

    I live in London but my ethnicity is Bangladeshi (Sylhet) and I always take Biman with my family as my dad prefers a direct flight. Biman is an alright airline and I’m glad it is improving day by day. It would’ve been better if you took Economy because most people take Economy (me) and lots of people complain. But I’ve been on the Biman 787-9 Economy and honestly it’s better than you guys think. Anyways good video

    • @Yasin_2312
      @Yasin_2312 4 года назад +5

      Sam B the reason why many Bangladeshis take Biman is not to take pride of their National carrier but rather it is quicker to get their as Biman is the only airline to go direct to Bangladesh mainly Sylhet. Most people who are from Dhaka mostly take Emirates, Qatar Airways etc as it is only a 1 Stop flight. However Sylhettis mainly take Biman to avoid a 2 Stop Flight which will be long and chaotic. I hope you understand what i said

      Biman Bangladesh is actually arguably better than other National Airlines of south asian countries like Air India,Pakistan Airline etc..And if you compare its ticket price with other Airlines boeing dreamliners then its absolutely value for money...I think he found some old reviews of those DC 10s😂..I would say Biman is very decent considering how much you are paying...

    • @Yasin_2312
      @Yasin_2312 4 года назад +1

      Shahriar Ahmed Sagor yes you’re right. Biman was the last airline to use the DC-10 which is why lots of people think negatively of Biman. Biman is expensive which I have to agree but that is because of direct flights for example London-Sylhet, Manchester-Sylhet etc. But soon insha’allah Biman will get more 787 in order to get rid of the Biman 737

    Excellent review, thanks for your honest comments and video.
    I also flew with Biman in business class in the early 2000s after a last minute change of plans, and, while the aircraft at that time were old and tired, I found the service to be excellent. As it was a last minute change I needed to overnight in Dhaka and Biman took care of everything for me.
    It's good to see they are updating and improving all the time and, from my previous experience I wouldn't hesitate to travel with them again.
    My only problem has been that my local airport is Manchester which Biman are just now starting to fly into (then the world stopped for Covid 19). Previously, using Biman meant travelling via Heathrow, which is less than convenient for me.

    Dear Noel, actually Bangladesh ordered all their current fleet by 2009 and 2011. In the mean time, they lease aircrafts from Egypt for stopgap, which are really measurable aircrafts, required lots of maintainance, full of problems and dirty cabins. Even, some aircraft never fly 2nd time after lease. Lots of issues happened because of that. Hope now we can do better.

    Took them as early as NYE 2002 from BKK to Yangon, which was a great choice as most pax continued on to Dhakka. Much better than the other flights that spit out all their pax at Yangon.
    Things were much worse on the way back though, when the flight was delayed and no information could be pried out of any staff member when the flight would be leaving.

    Glad you had a better experience at Dhaka airport then I did, flying Emirates Business. The lounge was "interesting", food left on plates was put back into the serving pods, we had some local wildlife scatter when we (there was 3 of us travelling for work) moved our chairs. It was chaos boarding the flight, and I've never been so happy to leave anywhere in my life. I've never chugged a JD & Coke faster than I did on takeoff. It was a few years back, but it's put me off from ever going through there again! But, to be clear, our hosts in Dhaka were some of the best people I've met that work for our company, and the hospitality was brilliant.
