Dhaka Airport
Traveller Comments....
"I couldn't decide if the scene at the Dhaka Airport reminded me of the Fall of Saigon or one of those 1980s movies set in southeast Asia where half the population is trying to flee the country during a coup." (Pamela Barrus)
"Zia International is the home base for Bangladesh Biman Airlines, a continually under performer airline when it comes to on time reliability even among third world nations." (?)
"this is a totally uncomfortable and unacceptable airport" (?)
Recent Review
"i have waited twice at this airport.on my way from kuala lumpur to frankfurt and on my return fligh.now when taking this connection there is accommodation provided for the 2 night stay on the way to frankfurt and 1 night stay on the way back and the hotels usually keep in contact with the airport so they can drop you of just in time for your flight .though this is the case,i had to wait over 3 hours in the airport both times because of some last minute delay. during my stay in the transit area,i have checked out every square meter and have found two excellent places to sleep. number one is the transit area which no one knows about because of the lack of signs. there you can find cushioned leather seats.they seem to be very old(my guess 70s)and are falling apart but very comfortable to sit on. place number two is the upstairs area.this area is absolutely deserted,with no people whatsoever,because there is absolutely nothin there.it seemed like being in an deserted airport. there one could sleep in peace on the floor.the amenities of the transit area are few.they include a duty free shop,one restaurant,a bistro,two TVs ant two smoking rooms(although one could basically smoke anywhere in this airport).it would be ok sleeping in the transit area.not as bad as many other airports i know. sleeping in the departure/arrival areas on the other hand is not advisable.way too many people and way to filthy."
