Everyone had the choice of keep there passport and staying at the airport or to be transferred to a hotel in Dhaka. All the passengers decided to go to the hotel.(Big mistake) The hotel was actualy a jailhouse. We where locked up and could not go out of the hotel(they said they could not guarrantee our safety), the only fluid in the house was water. We had to give the guard money, so he could go out to buy some coca cola for us. With the coke and our tax free alcohol from BKK we survived. The next morning the breakfast was terrible and there where another 4 hours of delay. The whole trip from LOS to Holland took me about 38 hours. People of Biman turned out to be very unfriendly. The initial thing that made me book with them was the price of the flight(about 500 euro middle of December), but never again.

It was maybe an exception due to the amount of people wanting to come back after the Tsunami, no? But I agree with you, not a nice experience
I have travelled with Star Alliance (KLM-Lufthansa-Thai Airways) and with Air France... never problems
