Yeah burma is a pretty poor country but is their national airlines lousy too or decent? I don't expect it to be excellent.

I have taken their internal Bagan Airlines flights before back in 2006 between Bagan and Mandalay. The propeller-driven plane was about brand new and the service was excellent. Comments from friends who still visit Myannmar are that the airline is still doing well.

I am not sure about the regulations now pertaining to mobile phones; we did not bring them in. Also, back then, email sites for Yahoo and Hotmail etc were not accessible.

But I was very impressed that out of the ASEAN countries the, they were the only ones who used the eyeball-checker for identification - Singapore back then was still not using them.

So, visit Myannmar - it was an excellent holiday. English is quite prevalent there and where there was a language barrier, one can see that their smiles were from the heart, unlike even that of Thailand's where the smiles are 'commercialised'.

I'm not travelling to burma. I'm thinking of taking their airlines though. I'm just curious how they fare compared to other airlines like say cathay or thai airlines.

Older generations Burmese spoke far better English than us. Under the British their forestry were also very well managed.
I don't know about now with civil war and the military junta.

I travelled with Myanmar Airways twice. I will give them 4 stars. The food is good, the cabin crew very professional and pleasant looking, the cabin very clean.
