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 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.
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 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.
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 ❤️💜💚💜
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.
Biman Bangladesh Airlines needs to serve specialty foods instead of rice, lentils and curries. Bangladeshi cuisine is rich in flavorful and tasty foods.
@@vinaymaheshwari3074 talk about india bro where the government is being governed by literal genociders, rioters, religious radicals and killers.

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.
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 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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
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.
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
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.
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.
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 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.
Just checked the prices: extortion! LHR-Dhaka with BA+ Qatar: 680€; Biman 1046€. If you are a family, decision is made quickly. 360€/ pp saved by flying 2 hours longer.
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.
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
The greenness everywhere inside was deep-bottom in anything aesthetic. Natural for muslim countries like Bangladesh , they have unchallengeable ability in making things look unpleasant.
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
Unfortunately Biman has a monopoly on travelling to Sylhet so we don’t have any other choice if you want to go direct to Sylhet. You were very lucky to get one of their good plans and they always have issues with not having blankets. Lots of other issues and corruption with the airline
It is not a criticem of you video, but why dont youtubers like you mention the approximate ticket cost for economy and business class?? Is there a legal reason?? i like your video by the way.
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. 🙂
By the way being a vegeterian you should avoid cake because cake is made out using eggs. Which i beilieve should non veg. Incase you are wondering eggs has life too
Although i can't afford money to go to london or Manchester. I see these two flight (788 and 789)from Netrokona when they go over my city.This is plesure to me.
fun fact sylhet has a dialect which only old people speak in west bengal (Assam stil speaks it widely) which to anyone local who's from west bengal is funny. just like glasgow dialect is funny to anyone from london.
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.
Sorry to say this but this is one of the worse airline in the world. ask the Bangladeshi people who travel with it. They are forced to use it because it’s one of the direct plane that goes to sylhet. Over priced ticket. People would never use this airplane if there was other options
There used to be alcohol available on request in Business Class when I flew them 15 years ago on their DC10 and A310. Even Champagne. Don't know if this is still the case though
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.
Good vlog. For blanket should have just asked. Normally they provide to everyone. Biman is good for family with children and OAPs as it's a direct flight to Sylhet. Food is excellent. Young adults travelling on their own opt for other airlines...
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!
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
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
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!

Josh Cahill travelling first class? 03:18 Now there's a surprise. 🙄
Not critisism, just a small comment: quite a strange choice to pre order special vegetarian meal on an airline which has its own chicken farm
I tried Biman from Toronto to Dhaka. IT WAS VERY GOOD. Plenty amount of food were given and blanket was given.
Honestly saying... This is some quality content. I appreciate your efforts.
Die "Brutally Honest" Reviews sind bei weitem die besten conent, die ihr anbietet.

8:25 "Biman owns their own poultry farm" ...... Now that is extraordinary service....
As far as the filming by Felix...I could not tell any difference. Everything seemed just as high quality and great as normal to me :D
Yes, if he hadn't mentioned it, I wouldn't have known any different!
Many Indian and Nepali people are now choosing Biman for Toronto flight over Air India & Air Canada. Cz Biman is cheaper on that route

Biman's cheaper fares are probably already gone. I bought round trip from the UK fairly early and got a ticket for £680.
The last time I flew to Sylhet was on a DC-10

Good review, impressed with the modern Boeing aircraft
Bangladeshis will always choose Biman unless other airlines on the route offer 40kg luggage also
Biman comes from VIMANA which is a Sanskrit word . Viman is used in other Indian languages also 🧐
Obviously Bengali language itself evolved from Sanskrit... Most of the words we use are Sanskrit origin.

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.
You are right I prefer Emirates over Biman
Good vlog. For blanket should have just asked. Normally they provide to everyone. Biman is good for family with children and OAPs as it's a direct flight to Sylhet. Food is excellent. Young adults travelling on their own opt for other airlines...
First foreigner who correctly pronounced "Bangladesh" word🙃
Thank you for flying with our biman Bangladesh Airlines.
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!
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
Do you think Sylhetis are Bengalis or do you think Sylheti is a language
@@rafiashraf2769 We Sylhettis are Bengalis and Sylhetti is a dialect of Bengali
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
Great trip report! Will y’all review the new AF economy product? :)
Finally is brutally honest
Thanks for make this trip report. And im happy ☺️☺️☺️ to see you visit my city sylhet.Because i live in Sylhet.
Thank you simply aviation
