Hehe - I can't wrap my head around the fact that they fly direct to Sylhet airport.

I flew on Biman a few years ago and it looked like the entire interior of the plane had caught fire and then been extinguished

out Bangladeshi partner was visibly "shaken" on the flight as he said locals were afraid to fly the airline ;-)

Sylhet is a 4 million city. Imagine putting half the US population into an area the size of Utah.

Also, the majority of the half-million strong British Bangladeshi population are Sylheti, concentrated in east London and a couple of other English cities.

Unfortunately the vast majority of that 4 million can't afford to fly.

Direct and non-stop are two different things. They do fly direct, same plane, one-stop service via Dhaka. They do NOT fly non-stop between Heathrow and Sylhet.

Flight BG202 is non-stop from Heathrow T4 to Sylhet, stopping for an hour before going on to Dhaka.

At present the airline seems to run their UK service as Dhaka - Heathrow - Sylhet - Dhaka, with the Bangladesh - UK being flight number BG1.
