Be care full because of only one and half hour transit time. Last year when I went to USA/Canada, transit time was also only one and half hour but from Dhaka flight was delayed one hour. I informed the air crew about my connecting flight so they sent message at Istanbul airport. That flight then delayed one hour and took us.
right you are, even if the flight is on time, 1.5 hrs transit gonna make you run through the terminal from 1 plane to another, it is rather good if you have longer transit in a 20/24 hr plane journey, unless you have a meeting to catch

Dont worry, the baggage will automatically avail the connecting flight and its the airline's responsibility to take care of the connecting passengers'. Its none of the passenger's issue (while you have already reported). They are bound to provide you accommodation and lodging till the next available flight ether its the next day or the next 4 days. Relax!!!!!!!!

For every ones kind concern, if you miss your luggage along with your flight, fill a form claiming compensation at the very airport and give your desired address and contact in the form. You will get paid 30 USD/ Day as compensation ( its IATA rule) and the airline will get the delayed luggage to the designated address, by themselves, I assure you. (Not valid for Dhaka inbound passengers, i wonder :'() why?.

I wrote previously in the forum, its too difficult to avail the connection within 1 hour 30 mins. And its almost impossible with kids and family.
Just to be on a safer side get your essential staff (medication etc.) in your cabin luggage that you carry. Never carry any liquid more than 100ml. In any form (Perfume or body spray, Shampoo, anything at all, they will through all these away). Carry 1 dollar notes, at least 5 to 10 USD (As dollar coins are not excepted most of the places) so you can buy essentials at transit. Save some extra airline food (Juice and dry foods) in your back pack just in case (Ask the crew politely that you might require some extra, at transits for long hours, they will be happily serving you, they are used to these sort of requests, not to be ashamed of).

One most important thing is, never forget to reset your watch to local time (then you miss the plane), as all the flight times are in local times, so follow the local time.

Regs
you are right, it is very important to learn how to make use of all the available services and make yourself comfortable in a long journey like DHK-CAN.
Air hostesses are ready to help you, you'll just have to ask and even at airports (dubai airport is very good) there are all the amenities to make your journey comfortable, so instead of being stiff we all should try to feel a relaxed journey to canada :)

You missed the Airbus 380 flight mate!!!!!!!!!!! :eek: (Turkish airlines does not have this aircraft till 2016 at least)
It had been worth a flight to avail even waiting 48 hours,(I am serious).

Anyways, always next time. ;D
those who have no idea just visit emirates.com
if money is not the issue, emirates should be 1st choice :)

Amar Newyork theke Dhaka ashar pothe, Turkish Airlines 1 hr late kore roana diyechilo JFK Airport theke and amar Istanbul er jonno connecting flight chilo 1.5 hr. But after landing in Istanbul Airport, we got only half an hour , I had to rush for BD bound connecting flight after having security check formalities again.

Sobcheye sad part hochhe, after landing in Dhaka Airport, two of my luggages were missing. They were left in Istanbul Airport . I had to lodge a claim in Baggage missing section in Dhaka Airport along with many other people. Dhaka te landing korar por belt e luggage khuja, claim lodge kora, sobkichu miliye more than 2 hrs legechilo ber hote.

Two days later,(the next flight arriving Dhaka), I went Dhaka Airport at 5.30 AM (just after seheri and Fazar prayer) and collected my luggage at 7.30 am.

Got two luggages in very bad condition. One was broken and had torns in couple of places which is no longer usable in future journey.

So, be careful with little transit time and also carefully choose your airlines.
pretty bad......turkish e jabo na, decision final :mad:

missed the Emirates,but in turksih there is 0ne and half hour transit period so I will prefer that
i dont understand how could you 'prefer' 1.5 hr transit, you are immigrating, not attending a seminar.

Landing experience at Calgary Intl Airport

Hello all, I just landed at Calgary on BD time 5th Feb 3.30 A.M. First of all, I would like to thanks to Almighty Allah for granting me visa at this land of opportunities.I started from Zia intl airport on 3rd Feb.My flight was Emirates.Please make sure that you are carrying the exact or somewhat pretty close to your weight allowance. I dont know about other airlines.But Emirates is very strict with weight allowance. They will charge you for the extra weight of your luggage.When i first enter into Dhk airport please make sure you weight your luggage & if it is ok then just wrap your luggage from the luggage wrapping counter beside gate 1 of Terminal 1.They will charge you 300 tk/bag. Its really worthy enough cause while transferring luggage the airlines used to throw out your luggage. so if it is wrapped then there is less possibility of being theft or lost. After getting boarding pass I went to the immigration.then after finishing that procedure i went to the lounge.Before entering into that lounge, you have to go through a scanning of everything you hold.at this point they may check sometimes your amount of money.Although they didn't check me out.but its done on random basis.But you should be aware before such incident take place. Now a days I heard that they are making queries about the fund you are going with. Again I am saying i have heard those from different guys over there. Sometimes, if they found anyone is carrying more than 5000$ they are taking the rest of the money.I am not sure although!! First I went to dubai but the transit time was very limited. so i didnt get any chances to roam over there. From Dubai, I flew through Airbus A380.!! Phew!! WHat a plane!! It was awesome..after 9 hours journey i reached to Heathrow.i want to mention here that before starting for your landing at Canada just gather some few dollars or pounds for the transit stations. The stop over time was 5 hours at Heathrow. But i couldn't eat anything over there as I didnt have the change. Plus I couldn't find any money exchange to make my 100 dollar note into smaller one. Although money exchange was there but heathrow was so big that i couldnt find the exchange over there. As i was worried about getting lost over there.Then i took Air Canada from heathrow. it was also 9 and half hours journey probably. I want to mention here that just make sure all your boarding passes will remain at same place.Because in every airport they will search for your remain boarding passes.its common everywhere. When I landed at Calgary, the newly landed peoples line wasn't so big.Immigration dept just saw my papers then forwarded me to the CBSA (Canada Border service Agency) for real immigration process. they asked me a lot of questions regarding my aunt staying at canada,my job at BD,my educational background.Then they asked me is my wife is gonna come to the next flight to Calgary..That was just to make you nervous..I humbly told them that i am unmarried so there is no wife is gonna come out from the next flight..Be prepared about your file. you have to sign three places at your respective COPR.Make sure after signing they are giving you the 3RD Part of your COPR..Its really important for your applying SIN,Health Card & other docs.They gave me 2nd page in lieu of 3rd Page.When I went to service Canada for applying SIN Card they told me that immigration dept gave me the wrong page.so i have to hurry again to the airport for getting the right page..Today is my 3rd day at Calgary. After one hour i will go to Service Canada for applying SIN Card. Just pray for me.I bought ChatR Sim card as they wont give you the post untill and unless you do own a credit card. ChatR service is good and its prepaid..Hope the landing story will help you guys to some extent. if any more information is required i will be there to answer your queries..Take care and Pray for me...
thanks for sharing, have a nice start :)
