@Ronen:
The people roaming around here are of serving what purpose is not clear to me. Is it about commenting on an airport's condition or showing off that we were suckers before now we are pissed off because there is nothing our elders have left there for us to suck. People who are very eager to tell that the country is a worst one, or the people are just muggers, for you guyz...stop, wait a bit, think, you are telling you have been humiliated by these people, now you are acting to these people like these people in your writings...how come you are better than us? You are also from the same shit hole, from where we came. The airport may have its own problems, but not the people of this country have the same problem. You did not get the service because you do not know how to survive in a rough and tough condition, that's your fault. There are lots of people coming to this country for the first time and also leaving the country with joy. What's the problem then for you? Never ever try to tell that the country should be wiped off. Who the bustard you are to tell that the country should be wiped off. Being a poor country I do respect the poorest country's people. Though they are poor, they are needy, they are human. That's the ultimate truth.

I have been India before while I was there figured out how worst the capital Delhi is Dhaka is 1000 times better than Delhi. After I came back from India to my city I felt like OMG I am in Europe now. Delhi is exact like the movie slam dog millionaire no millionaire but dogs are living there. The place is packed with cheaters, poor and rubbish. U self proclaim incredible India. I say incredible my A** . No wonder our staffs in Dhaka airport are so arrogant to you guys. U guys tell us poor?? Shame on you guys. Every year hundreds of farmers commute suicide in your country because they can’t earn enough to eat. Don’t hide ur face we all Bangladeshi people know that. If you guys are good people never put such racial comment in anywhere. i thanks to my airport staff they are arrogant to you guys you guys dont desirve better than that

Recently I went to Dhaka twice for important visits. It seems things are getting a little bit better - hope the Zia authority will try their best to improve all services a step forward including passengers personal safety while coming out of the airport building for taxi. Thanks

Recently I went to Dhaka twice for important meetings. I was surprised to see people were well behaved but slow and things are getting better around specially with the two terminals. Hope they keep on trying to improve a bit by bit hygeinically even it takes time. Thanks

I think this cite deserve a thank Q for publishing all the comments. Please keep it up, I am sure some day some one read all our comments and that person will sort all these out on the spot. I have been planning to visit Bangladesh but I think I have to give it up at least for the time being, I am really scared.

Laila (UK) - December 3, 2009
This IS the worst aiport I have ever visited in my life and also tops the scale as the worst country! The attendants are all rude and arrogant. Wake up and smell the cockroaches, you are not that great. The rest of the world laugh at your pathetic attempt to be like the western world. They give so much value to white skin its sickening and they hurry through people with a bit of money. I love that I was born in a capitalist, democratic society and I wish I could pretend I had no connections to this god forsaken shit hole of a country.

Fareed (US) - November 12, 2009
I have US Green card and Canadian passport, also Bangladeshi passportMy question is can I use my Bangladeshi passport to enter Bangladesh and use Green card when leaving Dhaka, or do I need no visa seal on my Canadian passport ? Your feed back will be highly appriciated.

When you arriv eat the airport, you will find too many bosses just watching you, some of them just chatting each other. No work. Lazzy. We need to fire these lazy assholes and hire qualified working bosses. This will imporve a lot.

You should feel shame as you have written that you welcome comments. You allready have so many awful comments but no action taken. I feel shame once I read such comments about my beloved country. For God, Do something.....

Moinul Islam (NYC) (United States of America (NYC)) - June 27, 2009
This is the worst Airport in the whole entire world. People working there are complete IDIOTS and they think that they are big shots working at the airport. These people needs to be re-trained on how to serve people professionally. Honestly, I've went to New York City Bangladesh Consulate to get a No Visa Required on my Valuable US Passport, and these people working their are horrible. They work at a minium wage, and they think that they are millionaires or CEO. I strongly urge Bangladesh Airport to carefully review their workers background and hire only that are best to serve customers at professional manner, and not hire anyone from the streets, from murderer to low life thieves. BANGLADESH ZIA DHAKA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT, I HAVE ONE SUGGESTION FOR YOU "GROW UP".

malik nj usa (US) - April 16, 2009
i gave Dhaka internation air 4**** in compareson to India's any airport. i do agree our airport people and service is not like what you recieve in new york or london but some indian brothers comments are over exaggeration. i thing i found everywhere indian people are envy of bangladeshi anything, i ask but why?

M. M. Chowdhury (USA) - December 10, 2008
I think that Govt should spend more money for this Airport than putting in Biman. Since Airport is the showcase for Bangladesh, it needs a make up with recylcing its old employees there.

I have found that sometimes Old is Gold but Old also the red tape for any improvement. Just my 2 cents.

@DJ Sarawan

You are 100% correct man. I went to Dhaka last month since my father works at the UK embassy in Dhaka. The fucking people at the airport are sick in their head. They are a disgrace on humanity and mankind. I wish I can pull out a gun and shoot each and every single one of these illiterate, arrogant bastards. You are right Bangladesh is world's #1 corrupted nation and will remain the same always. This is the worst 3rd world country I have ever been to in my 27 years of life. The airport is a disaster without any doubt. No much rules or laws there. Whatever the staff working there wants, will happen only. Stay away from airport and this country as much as possible. I feel ashamed and unsecured every time I go there (been there 2 times). People working there are no less than thieves. They will cheat you, rob you out of your belongs and there is nothing you or anyone can do. Sometimes I really wish this country should be wiped out the earth’s surface and I seriously mean it.

DJ Sarawan - November 14, 2008
This is the worst airport I have ever been in my life. It's a complete disaster. people working there do not know their own duty and don't even understand a damn word of english. I wonder why Bangladesh ranked #1 as the world's most corrupted nation. It's a complete night mare folks. Stay away from this place as long as possible.Once, you get out of the airport, you will find your self in a complete disaster with no security of life and your belongings. Any thing can happen down there including robbery, kidnap and ofcourse murder. The staff working at airport got their own ways of working with no rules no laws and no holds bared. I am sure even A prison in USA has better enveronment than this piece of crap.

I along wiyh my friend reached Zia International Airport on 9th of Aug while on flight No. BG-084 from New Delhi to Bangkok. There we came to know that we have to get Transit Visa due to delay in onward flight.
We purchased one bottle of scotch from duty free shop (Invoice No. 26265) for our night stay in the hotel.
When at the time we were going outside, the custom officer detained the bottle (Memo No. 011468, Dated 9/8/08) saying that the scotch is not allowed in Bangladesh. It will be handed over after boarding pass.
The next day before the flight we met superitendent of customs and came to know that one bottle is allowed to foreigners and that bottel will be returned to us. But waiting for long time bore no fruit.
Now we are returning to New Delhi via Dhaka on 6 Sept. by Biman Airways. We want our bottel at that time.
Thanking You

I need help in locating a mirror that belonged to my grandfather, Joe Harnois/Beauharnais. The person who has the mirror does not know that there are important papers inside the frame of the mirror and LOCATING THESE PAPERS IS AN EMERGENCY!!!

If you have any bulletin boards, please post this message.

THANK YOU.

I agree restrooms\bathrooms are not clean. The people who works there most of them have bad manner. I do understand at sametime that a lot beanibazar and others that go back home are idoits too. They don't have manner either but employees at airport (special biman transit desk) can be little bit more friendly you know what I mean. And more orgnize. Thank you
