Recent Traveller Feedback
Flew Biman from Dhaka to London in economy class. My checked bag weighed about 28 kg, which is 8 kg over the 20 kg allowance. At Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport they charged me 5000 BDT for the excess weight. I should have checked the allowance more carefully — Biman's economy allowance is lower than many other airlines on this route. Next time I'll either pack lighter or upgrade my fare to get more baggage.
5000 BDT
Traveling from Chittagong to Dhaka on Biman's domestic flight. My carry-on bag was about 9 kg and they weighed it at the gate. The economy limit is only 7 kg, so I had to pay 3000 BDT to check it in. Biman is pretty strict about carry-on weights on domestic routes. Make sure you weigh your bag before heading to the airport.
3000 BDT
Tried Biman business class from Dhaka to Dubai. The baggage allowance is really generous — 30 kg checked baggage plus 10 kg carry-on. I brought two suitcases totaling about 28 kg and had no issues at all. Priority baggage meant my bags came out first at Dubai International Airport. Way more comfortable than economy, especially for longer trips.
