Hi Noel , when you check out turkmenistan airlines any chance you could try the BHX experience instead of LHR , turkmenistan fly weekly at the moment to ASB just be interesting to view your comments as a BHX staff member for over 30 years.
That thing that cleared your sinuses is called Achar. It’s a pickled vegetable/fruit commonly served as something to spice up your meal. It’s found all over the subcontinent.
When he took so much achar my eyes actually widened lol! We use maybe a quarter of what he took, perhaps less in each bite 😂 Big respect though, Noel's proper giving everything a go with an open mind in these videos!
Most of the negative reviews were from the DC-10 and A310 days. Biman has made significant positive strides since then and is now one of the best in south asia.
@@md.mrn6111 economy is too good as well, food proportion, quantity, quality is quite good. You better study more about Biman. Biman is now a regional competitor with Sri lankan Airlines.
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!

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.
We have already six 787.. Bangladesh is one of the highest 787 operator in the world. Video maker also said in this video that he never fly 787-9 before, which one is most advance aircraft in the world now.
@@samia6060 brother, read my comment again & try to understand what I actually meant. Don't bark like the 3rd child of a goat. I never said Biman isn’t improving. I said, it's improving day by day.

10 years ago an un-delayed flight on Biman would have been a miracle! Amazing how they've improved! The fleet to really has been updated, sad to see the DC-10s gone but it certainly is a worthy sacrifice in the name of a better hard product!
I have been on Biman once when I was travelling to Kuala Lumpur from India. I don't know why they say it's a bad airline coz I absolutely loved their service. The food was fantastic and yeah , the entire crew is much well mannered than what we have here in India.
Thanks guys for your lovely comments. Just seen the whole video and it's amazing. What I love about Noel is that he just 'turns up' which is the best and only way to do a review. Unlike others (whom I won't mention), they tell the airline, turn up like some Hollywood celebrities etc etc....offcourse the airline will pull out the stops, but Noel is down to earth and he says it, how it is....glad you enjoyed Biman, the service, equipment and the flight.
Bro, I love the sound of the engines spooling up to full power, then the whine of them at full power is awesome! 21:00 You should dedicate a whole section on your channel of just the engine sounds! LOL I, for one, would be a HUGE fan of that! Talk about some amazing ASMR! And as always, another amazing video!
Excellent aircraft, I see that Biman has been modernizing their fleet recently and it's great to see they have the 1-2-1 configuration on the 787-9...irrespective of the old bad reviews its nice to see any airline that's making an effort to renew itself, good luck for the future Biman. As always great review Noel.
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.

You will also get good tips from the crew on where to go what to see and where they eat out.

Glad to know about your experience with Biman. Being a kid of Bangladesh Air Force family and an active crew of commercial airlines, I can feel the value of your words. We are working hard to make your journey incredible. The whole industry is committed to a secured and smooth service. Take love from Bangladesh.

@@manibrar3859 Hey dude, Now a days Biman Bangladesh is i think only Airline among south asian countries national airlines which is running on profit.Other south asian national airlines like Air India,Pia etc are running on loss..Biman Bangladesh has 6 Luxurious Boeing 787 Dreamliner Aircraft which is among most modern aicrafts and other good quality Aircrafts like boeing 777etc...It Was bad before but now a days Government of Bangladesh is trying to boost Biman's quality as our Economy is getting better and better..

The business class on the 737 Biman was a lot better than "any" European business class with the middle seat blocked, add to that the superb seat on the 787 with a great crew, Bangladeshi's certainly have an airline to be proud of.

Great video as always. The 787-9 is one of 2 that Birman acquired after Hong Kong Airlines pulled out of the deal with Boeing. Therefore, they were offered with a 3 class configuration (first time in Biman’s history) consisting of Business, Premium Economy and Economy to Birman at a very cost effective price. I still have not seen the whole video as I’m currently at work and will do this evening when I get home. Keep up the good work and keep smiling buddy.
Some Hainan Airlines 787-9s that were not taken were offered to Vistara of India, who should have had 2 planes by now (6 were ordered), but they decided to include accomodation for extra crew which these 787-9s were not equipped with, so these planes are also going to Biman, while Vistara now have to wait longer for their planes.
I'll be flying a 787-10 with United to Europe in July. I'm looking forward to it. You were great in the video. Always nice to see a friendly face behind a counter at an airport. Cheers!
Hi Noel,ur video brought tears to my eye man! Especially the first 4mins! During this pandemic watching the check-in and boarding process was a treat! Then comes the best part! The service of our national flag carrier,i’m glad u enjoyed ur flight and i hope u fly again! Good Luck!
It seems your TO from LHR was set up to save wear on the engines. They put in a much higher outside air temp so the engines do not have to run at 100% every time, but lets say 80% Great vlog as always!
your hot "curry" or achar may have mustard oil, mango? and chilli as well as loads of lovely spices (sour? - add either tamarind, lemon, vinegar) ... just the ticket to clear the sinuses.
The food on Bangladesh Biman is probably the best I've had. I've flown on many airlines and apart from the delays it actually is really good for service and entertainment.
Have had many Bangladeshi friends over the years take trips home to see family so really nice to see. Looked pretty good to me on both legs. Thought the food looked delicious too, as you say food can taste pretty bland in the air so a nice flavoursome meal is always appreciated. Great video and loved seeing the Petronas towers from the air and loved the music too 👍👍
Thanks for flying with Beman Bangladesh airlines and good reviews. Recently they have some new big aircraft from USA. They're changing for best now. Good luck to them.
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
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...
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
Thanks for flying us. Thanks for flying with Bangladesh. We couldn't do much for now but Inshaallah, in the future, if you travel with us, we would see all our birds be transformed in 787. Biman needs stuff like these to be promoted. Thanks for showing what you have faced.
Hate to see that you didn't get a chance to see around the Dhaka city. Hope someday you will come and see this historic city and the beautiful country as well. Thanks for taking Biman.
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.
Please have respect for all nations. What may be a “shithole” to you, may be the most beautiful place in the world for others. We are human beings that can think and feel, how hard is it to respect a fellow humans feelings? Every place in the world is beautiful.
Biman is just getting better and better. Biman is the only national carrier in south Asia who is making money and other national carriers in south Asia like Air India, Pakistan Airlines and Srilankan Airlines - everyone is losing money. But yes Biman has less plane than those 3 carriers. Recently Biman CEO said Biman has a plan to increase his fleet size up to 50 within 2030. Well Done Biman (y).
Thanks a lot, Noel for sharing your experience with Biman Bangladesh. I hope after finishing "The Terminal" one day you will visit us and get used to our spicy food. I wish, your videos will be seen by millions.
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.
Noel is truly a great guy. I had 2 days off previously and was watching all his videos and on my first day back to work, he shows, how random. Wishing you all the very best.
Dude, it looks like hot pickle: most probably of green mango, but the hostess should tell you how to eat it: mixing up a small amount with the rice (and curry) and eat
@@MelvisVelour Last year Biman added 6 Boeing 787 aircraft which will ensure luxury definitely. When u think about economy class, u r thinking abt ur cost too while at the same time any Airlines have to balance.
@@MelvisVelour Look the period you're talking about was decades back.. U probably know 🇧🇩 Isn't a country from the first world. We are still growing n trying our best to be developed enough. Thus far we've acquired few newly designed n manufactured aircraft which are superstructural and sweet as you like😉.. You better give a try
We have domestic flight routes. So a lot of Bangladeshi people fly internally. Plus most of the passengers are Bangladeshi . So it won't matter if we have less foreigners as passengers.
Thanks for flying Biman and your nice review. I have flown almost every Biman aircraft and they are really nice. I used to took 3-4 flights monthly for last few years from Sylhet to Dhaka and they were on-time most of the time. Looking forward to fly Biman from USA to Sylhet. We are renovating our three old international airports including ramshackle Sylhet and Dhaka airport. I cordially invite you to fly Biman again to Sylhet and Dhaka when they open up. Hope you will get a totally different experience and a comfy lounge to lean on.
Thanks for using our national Airlines..Biman Bangladesh is not that much good but it is trying to improve its amenities so that passengers can have a wonderful journey in the air.
Biaman is a true icon of Bangladesh, Great to see that people from other side of the world like Biman's service not to mention food, which the best in the world.
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.
I hope you visit our country next time for a few days so you can experience it. I really appreciate your review of our flag carrier- it’s not the best in the world but Biman is definitely making a concerted effort to improve.
Holy smokes, was watching this at the gym and almost fell off the spin-bike! That's my mum (in grey) at 15:02... and reading a magazine at 11:47... and watching TV at 14:05 !
Hey man, healthy food never tastes good remember? That's why that pickle or whatever that was tasted weird. Overall a lovely video. Thanks for presenting Biman to the world.
Thanks Noel for your wonderful review & sharing your great experience with Bangladesh Biman. You know we Bangladeshi & most of the South Asian people are so emotional & it really brings so much happiness with huge excitement when a foreigner like you comment or praises about any of our own service. Thanks again & you are always Welcome in Bangladesh also be my guest whenever you will come in Dhaka. Good luck dear & Take care. Regards, Symon
Another fantastic review as always, I now want curry for breakfast though haha, all your meals looked amazing. Great product and great service. Was watching your Q&A on instagram and am so happy that Rach is going to be more involved this year. Love you guys! Cheers Noel.
When i was a child, i met a foreigner at my shop. We were talking about travelling and planes and when Biman Bangladesh popped up, he said “it rains in the plane, dont fly that”.
Thanks for choosing Biman Bangladesh, Hope you enjoyed your journey and ofcourse I hope your review would bring some positive travellers to Biman. Next time please visit Bangladesh and explore the beauty of Longest Sea Beach Coxs Bazar and Hill city Bandarban and Rangamati I bet you will be fescinated to come back again. Thanks.
This will be an interesting trip! As I recall, Biman was the last passenger airline to operate the DC-10! Of course last flight was quite a few years ago.

We are improving day by day.... Thanks for this review ❤✌🇧🇩🇧🇩

Great commentary and clearly unbiased dialogue. Keep your videos coming Noel, it’s always great to hear the other side of the story. Top man.
Great video as always. The 787-9 is one of 2 that Birman acquired after Hong Kong Airlines pulled out of the deal with Boeing. Therefore, they were offered with a 3 class configuration (first time in Biman’s history) consisting of Business, Premium Economy and Economy to Birman at a very cost effective price. I still have not seen the whole video as I’m currently at work and will do this evening when I get home. Keep up the good work and keep smiling buddy.
Some Hainan Airlines 787-9s that were not taken were offered to Vistara of India, who should have had 2 planes by now (6 were ordered), but they decided to include accomodation for extra crew which these 787-9s were not equipped with, so these planes are also going to Biman, while Vistara now have to wait longer for their planes.
I'll be flying a 787-10 with United to Europe in July. I'm looking forward to it.
You were great in the video. Always nice to see a friendly face behind a counter at an airport. Cheers!
Thanks so much Kiran and once again it was a delight to meet you. A credit to your employer and I hope to meet you again soon!
@@atrajitroy1 Biman refused to aquire those 2 aircrafts made for Vistara on the same ground.
@@atrajitroy1 Deal cancelled by Biman for the same reason.
Hi Noel,ur video brought tears to my eye man! Especially the first 4mins! During this pandemic watching the check-in and boarding process was a treat! Then comes the best part! The service of our national flag carrier,i’m glad u enjoyed ur flight and i hope u fly again! Good Luck!
23:55 but that mop is actually pretty handy !! If you have a bad aim or some turbulence occurs you/crew can quickly clean the floor
@@randomcommenter8873 lol yes
It seems your TO from LHR was set up to save wear on the engines. They put in a much higher outside air temp so the engines do not have to run at 100% every time, but lets say 80% Great vlog as always!
your hot "curry" or achar may have mustard oil, mango? and chilli as well as loads of lovely spices (sour? - add either tamarind, lemon, vinegar) ... just the ticket to clear the sinuses.
The food on Bangladesh Biman is probably the best I've had. I've flown on many airlines and apart from the delays it actually is really good for service and entertainment.
Great video totally going to Bangladesh now !
Thanks a lot and welcome ❤️❤️
thank u and love
Covid: *knocks on the door
He didn't enter the country ?
The only thing that put a big smile on my face is a glimps of Sylhet ... I'm away from sylhet for 4 years. Miss her a lot.
Have had many Bangladeshi friends over the years take trips home to see family so really nice to see. Looked pretty good to me on both legs. Thought the food looked delicious too, as you say food can taste pretty bland in the air so a nice flavoursome meal is always appreciated.
Great video and loved seeing the Petronas towers from the air and loved the music too 👍👍
Thanks for flying with Beman Bangladesh airlines and good reviews. Recently they have some new big aircraft from USA. They're changing for best now. Good luck to them.
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
Have you taken any other airlines if you had a choice? My Bangladesi friends never consider any other airlines.
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...
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
Why are so many Sylhetis living in UK?
I used biman when I was travelling around Bangladesh. I adore that country and its people.
What a lovely welcome you got there. So genuine and nice!
Thanks for flying us. Thanks for flying with Bangladesh. We couldn't do much for now but Inshaallah, in the future, if you travel with us, we would see all our birds be transformed in 787. Biman needs stuff like these to be promoted. Thanks for showing what you have faced.
Hate to see that you didn't get a chance to see around the Dhaka city. Hope someday you will come and see this historic city and the beautiful country as well. Thanks for taking Biman.
Thanks for promoting our Biman Bangladesh Airlines
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩😊😊
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.
Thank u sooo much mate❤️ for traveling with Biman🇧🇩...
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
I'm a regular flier of Biman from Kathmandu to Dhaka, they are good, feels like family.
We pray n hope that you & your family are safe in this pandemic, my friend.
Thank you for flying with Biman Bangladesh airlines.
Thank you for trying our national product ❤️
Thanks for choosing Biman Bangladesh Airlines from London - Sylhet /Dhaka....
Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Noel nails it every time - Never in a million years would I consider going to Bangladesh - added to bucket list, can't wait.
It's an impoverished shithole

Look up some TH-cam blogs by Jason Billam before heading out to get some tips.
@@rn8427 thanks to British rule of India...
Please have respect for all nations. What may be a “shithole” to you, may be the most beautiful place in the world for others. We are human beings that can think and feel, how hard is it to respect a fellow humans feelings? Every place in the world is beautiful.
Biman is just getting better and better. Biman is the only national carrier in south Asia who is making money and other national carriers in south Asia like Air India, Pakistan Airlines and Srilankan Airlines - everyone is losing money. But yes Biman has less plane than those 3 carriers. Recently Biman CEO said Biman has a plan to increase his fleet size up to 50 within 2030. Well Done Biman (y).
Very spicy food is good for a cold as it makes you sweat and in most cases, clears a blocked nose.
Good to see a nice review on biman not racially inspired. Thks so much.
Thanks man for fly with biman Bangladeshe airlines,
i like your voice and Posture of behavior, whatever Stay safe ✈️🇧🇩
Thanks a lot, Noel for sharing your experience with Biman Bangladesh. I hope after finishing "The Terminal" one day you will visit us and get used to our spicy food. I wish, your videos will be seen by millions.
Very well edited this video mate the volume between your commentary and the video is perfect 👍🏻
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.
Who heres looking for Keirons comment?
Noel is truly a great guy. I had 2 days off previously and was watching all his videos and on my first day back to work, he shows, how random. Wishing you all the very best.
@@birky71 Sorry i spelt your name wrong! And i agree!

Top job at checkin Kiran ... love it when the community spots others.
Have a nice weekend !
Omg i got more likes than Noels Comment
Always love to watch videos of creators that are open minded and try different places!
Dude, it looks like hot pickle: most probably of green mango, but the hostess should tell you how to eat it: mixing up a small amount with the rice (and curry) and eat
achaar?

Thanks a lot for choosing Biman Bangladesh Airlines! Wish to see you again visiting Bangladesh. 🇧🇩
Take care! ☺
Let’s see what you think in economy
I was thinking the exact same thing as I'd flown Biman in the 80's and holy crap....
@@MelvisVelour Last year Biman added 6 Boeing 787 aircraft which will ensure luxury definitely. When u think about economy class, u r thinking abt ur cost too while at the same time any Airlines have to balance.
@@MelvisVelour Look the period you're talking about was decades back.. U probably know 🇧🇩 Isn't a country from the first world. We are still growing n trying our best to be developed enough. Thus far we've acquired few newly designed n manufactured aircraft which are superstructural and sweet as you like😉.. You better give a try
@@MelvisVelour WOW 80S HUH! CRAP. THATS 39 YEARS AGO!!
We have domestic flight routes. So a lot of Bangladeshi people fly internally. Plus most of the passengers are Bangladeshi . So it won't matter if we have less foreigners as passengers.
Thanks for flying Biman and your nice review. I have flown almost every Biman aircraft and they are really nice. I used to took 3-4 flights monthly for last few years from Sylhet to Dhaka and they were on-time most of the time. Looking forward to fly Biman from USA to Sylhet. We are renovating our three old international airports including ramshackle Sylhet and Dhaka airport. I cordially invite you to fly Biman again to Sylhet and Dhaka when they open up. Hope you will get a totally different experience and a comfy lounge to lean on.
Noce to hear that Biman has improved a lot.
Thank you for traveling by Biman 🌹
6:38 made me very uncomfortable.
Lol
I feel violated 😂😂😂😂😂😂

hahhahaha... :P :P :P

Thanks for travelling Biman. It has improves over the years and hope it improves further!
Thanks for using our national Airlines..Biman Bangladesh is not that much good but it is trying to improve its amenities so that passengers can have a wonderful journey in the air.
Im Guessing that the Bad reviews are From An older plane.
yes it is ! Biman is improving day by day .
Daniel Lopez yes those from dc10
It was from DC10 time
Biman Bangladesh has recently upgraded their whole service last 4-5 years, they included brand new Dream Liners also.
Hi Noel, I am from SYLHET BANGLADESH. Thanks for using Biman Bangladesh. Next time hope to see you in SYLHET BANGLADESH.
Biaman is a true icon of Bangladesh, Great to see that people from other side of the world like Biman's service not to mention food, which the best in the world.
Fly emirates:am i joke to you
bruh biman does not have the best food not even close
thanx for choosing biman Bangladesh airlines. greetings from Bangladesh.
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.
I hope you visit our country next time for a few days so you can experience it. I really appreciate your review of our flag carrier- it’s not the best in the world but Biman is definitely making a concerted effort to improve.
Great video as always Noel. Best TH-cam aviation channel without doubt, offcourse Paul Lucas comes a close second 😆
Thanks Carl!
Nice to see you man... Thanks for choosing biman Bangladesh airline BG.
Thanks for traveling Biman Bangladesh Airlines.
Fantastic video. I'm off to Bangladesh after 23 years next year. Looking forward to it !
Holy smokes, was watching this at the gym and almost fell off the spin-bike! That's my mum (in grey) at 15:02... and reading a magazine at 11:47... and watching TV at 14:05 !
wow
Aw, hello Riad's mum, what a treat for you to see her. Has she now seen it?
She has indeed (from Bangladesh) and is delighted! Hoping she gets the 787-9 on her way back too!!
Wow your mum rich, sit on buisness class tell me now, you have lamborghini? Bugatti? 4 story house and a swimming pool?
@@nazbmn242 maybe a toyota premio or allion + a house that they own and biman buisness is not so expensive
That flight was awesome dude!!!!! I am gonna try Biman Bangladesh.Good work and keep it up.
The first Biman 787-9 proper review.. Thanks... 😍
Hey man, healthy food never tastes good remember? That's why that pickle or whatever that was tasted weird. Overall a lovely video. Thanks for presenting Biman to the world.
Healthy food tastes bad always
Hey, I was on that flight too. It was on 8th February
Thank you Noel! Love and respect from Bangladesh 🇧🇩
Live & respect from Bangladesh
Sylhet my hometown,thanks for reviewing Biman.
Thanks Noel for your wonderful review & sharing your great experience with Bangladesh Biman. You know we Bangladeshi & most of the South Asian people are so emotional & it really brings so much happiness with huge excitement when a foreigner like you comment or praises about any of our own service. Thanks again & you are always Welcome in Bangladesh also be my guest whenever you will come in Dhaka. Good luck dear & Take care.
Regards,
Symon
Another fantastic review as always, I now want curry for breakfast though haha, all your meals looked amazing. Great product and great service. Was watching your Q&A on instagram and am so happy that Rach is going to be more involved this year. Love you guys! Cheers Noel.
23:00 its green mango chutney, could be very citrousy and hot. You mix it with the rice and curry to eat it. Taking it directly could be quite strong.
When i was a child, i met a foreigner at my shop. We were talking about travelling and planes and when Biman Bangladesh popped up, he said “it rains in the plane, dont fly that”.
Kishor Kafle 😂😂😂😂😂
When you were a child, it was evident at that time, maybe that time Biman had those classic DC 10
Riasad Alvi probably. But i am not that old.
@@kishorkafle Biman stopped using DC 10 in the year 2011, guess now
Riasad Alvi then it did definitely rain in there. 😂
I really like your videos and the way you and present them. I really enjoy the narration as opposed to speaking out loud in the cabin. You got my sub!
English subtitles at 25:15
"But you know what".... it will never be the same again!
lol
23:00 it's pickled mango and it's very strong depending which brand or how it's made usually with rice it is traditionally eaten
Thanks for choosing Biman Bangladesh, Hope you enjoyed your journey and ofcourse I hope your review would bring some positive travellers to Biman. Next time please visit Bangladesh and explore the beauty of Longest Sea Beach Coxs Bazar and Hill city Bandarban and Rangamati I bet you will be fescinated to come back again. Thanks.
Love the video and music Noel and your voice reminds me of one of the BBC Holiday program presenters.
13:53 can I have the link for that suction cup if anyone knows? Thanks.
This will be an interesting trip! As I recall, Biman was the last passenger airline to operate the DC-10! Of course last flight was quite a few years ago.
