I took 4 lucky giveaway winners for a flight on-board Biman Bangladesh Airlines Boeing 787 Dreamliner. These winners are really passionate about aviation but have never flown once in their life before. I am glad to offer them this opportunity to enjoy the latest aircraft of Biman Bangladesh; the Boeing 787 Dreamliner.
We flew from Dhaka to Chittagong and had a day out. Later we returned by Biman Dash8-Q400 back to Dhaka with cockpit night takeoff and landing footage.
The next day I flew out of Dhaka on Biman B787 Dreamliner again to Muscat in Business Class. I was met by very nice surprises from the crew and able to film some great cockpit takeoff and landing footage.

In this trip report video, we enjoy flying with Biman Airlines on board their most modern and most recently purchased plane, the Boeing 787 Dreamliner. We have some of you guys on board for company too, letting us know what you think of the upgraded and modern entertainment systems and other features. We were pleased to make, what was for some of you, your very first flight very special. See inside the 787 Dreamliner cockpit and watch as we examine the sophisticated entertainment touch screens of economy class, before receiving a surprise upgrade to business class, courtesy of Biman airlines, where we examine the reclining and lie flat nature of these more premium seats.
The Boeing 787 Dreamliner first entered in to actual commercial service in October 2011 with Air Nippon Airways and delivers the significant advantage of being 20% more fuel efficient than its predecessor the Boeing 767.
The model is highly complex and advanced, being the first ever airliner to have its core structure composed primarily of composite materials, having almost entirely electrical flight systems and even having special noise reducing technology in its jet engines, the Rolls-Royce Trent 1000 and the General Electric GEnx.
The plane typically seats 234 when business, premium economy and economy classes are provided and, Biman Airlines being no exception, most airlines choose to arrange the seats in three columns of seat rows with each row containing three seats.
Our first flight is a short 30 minute journey from Dhaka to Chittagong, arriving in Shah Amanat international airport. After a highly enjoyable and fun tour of Chittagong, including a great visit to the beach and friendly interaction with the Bangladeshi locals, we head back to Dhaka on our second flight in the Bombardier Q400, naturally also with Biman airlines.
Having finished our extended tour of Bangladesh and our focus on Biman airlines, we head to Muscat, Oman in business class. Before going on this third and final flight of the video, there is just time to examine the Biman Maslin executive lounge and all of the tasty food it has to offer for travellers. Up in the air, we enjoy examining the traditional sari print decorations on the inside walls of the plane, sampling a wide variety of entertainment, including music videos and live television, before a surprise well-wishing celebration by Biman staff, complete with cake!
Join us for this final instalment of our very special, three part series focussing on Biman airlines and Bangladeshi aviation and don’t forget to check out the other two videos in the series (links below) and also to leave a comment about what you thought of the whole amazing tour!
