| Jul 6, 2020 at 11:10 | comment | added | Maverick | Meanwhile, Bangladesh govt. has announced yesterday that flights from Dhaka to DXB are now suspended till 16th as empty flights are causing a loss! My Dad's flight is on the 17th. Hopefully, the ban won't be extended. | |
| Jul 6, 2020 at 11:10 | comment | added | Maverick | But now, economy seats are not available on any of those Sunday Biman flights and one-way business class seats are above £2k. Qatar airways are the same but their business offering is over £4k! Bangladesh being a poor country ( twice invaded , first by British empire and then Pakistan ) has it's main export as labour in the MEA region. Most are now cautious and in lockdown and some are even sending back migrant labourers. Hence, MEA airlines are not showing interest in serving Dhaka as they would be flying nearly empty to and fro. | |

| Jul 6, 2020 at 10:08 | comment | added | jcaron | I'm surprised they don't offer the service with Emirates, as this is the largest airline at the airport! However Biman is actually an interlining partner of Emirates, so it may be worth it calling them to see if they can check your luggage through to the final destination. Note that Biman have a direct flight to London on Sundays, though it does not come cheap. Note also that separately booked flights put your father at risk if one of the two flights is cancelled. EK have DAC-DXB-LHR flights available (though affordable ones only from end of July). | |
