Independent flight reviews for travelers and aviation fans. I've loved air travel since I was six and visited an airport with my family to watch the planes take off. I travel a lot and decided that it it's silly not to be sharing these experiences. So here we are. Welcome!

Iraqi Airways - Boeing 737 MAX 8 - Economy Class Flight Review - Baghdad to Amman
Welcome along for this Iraqi Airways flight review. We'll be checking out regional economy class on one of their newer Boeing 737 MAX-8 planes, flying from Baghdad over to Amman, Jordan.
Iraqi Airways has a long and storied history. These days, they are working to increase their footprint following decades of conflict. They took ownership of several new MAX-8's in 2023, with more in the works. It's a nice step up from their older 737-800's.
As you'll see in this trip report, there's a lot to like about the hard and soft product on offer (and a thing or two for them to work on improving). There was seatback entertainment and even a modest meal service-- pretty nice for such a short flight!

Qatar Airways - Boston to Doha - A350-900 (Long-haul economy)
มุมมอง 4.5K2 หลายเดือนก่อน
We're catching a flight today from Boston's Logan Airport to Doha, Qatar. This Qatar Airways flight is scheduled to take around 11.5 hours, and we'll be traveling in economy. Of course, Qatar has a solid reputation, so we'll see if their service helps this long flight go by faster. Come along as I review the food, entertainment, and amenities to see if this is really the best land-haul economy ...
Qatar Airways - Doha to Baghdad - Boeing 777-300ER (Economy)
มุมมอง 3942 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, we're flying on Qatar Airways from their hub in Doha to Baghdad, Iraq. Together, we'll see if Qatar Airways lives up to its reputation on shorter regional flights. This should be a memorable one. We'll be on a widebody (Boeing 777-300ER) for this short trip, and we'll check out some great views of Iraq along the way. Before we board, we'll explore the amenities at Doha's Hamad Internatio...
Copa Airlines Business Class | Flight Review | CLO - PTY - BOS
มุมมอง 2.3K3 หลายเดือนก่อน
Today, we're checking out business class on Copa Airlines. We fly from Cali to Boston with a layover at their hub in Panama City. During the longer flight, we have a look at their lie-flay product on the Boeing MAX 9. For comparison, the short flight will give us a look at their business-class product on the 737-800. Copa is known for having a somewhat pared-down business class compared to many...
BIAP looks much different when I was there in 2010. It almost looks normal compared then in the past. Iraq is making progress and Iraqi Air is actually flying a Max 8.
Yes , Iraq is now more developed.
Things are improving. Hopefully the situation in the region can calm down a bit.
Sad to see this new Jet already FILTHY! Labor in Iraq is almost free! So what the HELL!
That was definitely my one bit of "free market research." Otherwise, it was a good experience.
excellent video
Fuck Iraq i hate this fuckin place I got injured over there in OIF2
Try Indian Airlines like Air India, Indigo and Akasa Air when you come to India
I'll have them on my list!
@wing-thing also try spicejet star air and Fly91 specially their Goa lakswadeep service

Nice vlog! Come to India sometime
Your voice is very soothing
Thanks mate for this exotic airline post. I love these kinds of airlines. Subscribed. Greetings from Australia 🇦🇺
Glad you found it interesting!
Great review mate I’ve just subscribed
Glad to have you along!
You have a really nice voice. It's also nice that service is improving for Iraqi airways. Maybe in the future our iraqi diaspora from further around the world can use the airline to visit iraq without having to transit.
How much they pay this guy? I got a shit stained sit and was let to sit in it for 30min during boarding until they came to remove and replace it without any apology. Disgusting and health risj
Beautiful review for a colourfully branded Airline ❤
I flew on the YI-ASN on September 1 2023 it was 6 months old now it’s about to be 2 years old they received it on March 2023 really miss that plane hope I see ASN again 🥹
Man this is such a well made video, as IQA bring newer aircraft into service, its great to finally see some inflight reviews come out! Can't believe you only have 22 subs, i've added to that now though :)
Thanks so much! It’s a new channel but coming along…
awesome, very informative! subscribed
Thanks for the sub!
0:45 "things are a little rocky in these parts of the world these day". 😂😂 no kidding. I do believe we might have played a teeny tiny part in that.
Great review. 🎉
Were they strict with the check in weight Did they automatically transferred your bags for you.Did you check in a bag?
I checked two bags and they were checked through to the final destination. As for strictness with weight, I can’t say from personal experience . Both my bags were just under the limit.
Wonderful review. Thank you for sharing
M friend is this the first time you travel??? The prices at all airports are always “jacked up”, also for such short flight, they wouldn’t have individual screens for passengers (air Canada/ American Airlines/ united/ westjet and others are the same). As per food, cops is one of the last airlines that provide snacks and free food, normally you have to pay or they’ll tell you flat out that the flight is too short for snacks/ meals
Just wait until you see my forthcoming review of Iraqi Airways. On a 1.5 hour flight, there was a meal service and seat back entertainment… in economy class! As for costs at Tocumen, my observation is relative to comparable airports. PTY is the only airport I can think of where many shops don’t display prices.
Great video. Does this have Q suites or the herringbone 1-2-1?
Thanks! This plane had the 1-2-1 herringbone.
Nice review, thanks for posting.
Thanks for stopping by!
Amazing trip report! You got some cool night views over France, Italy, and Greece. Doha seems so cool! 🏜️ 🌵✈️
Yeah I was wishing for daylight views, but really the night views were great too. 👍🏻
show the wing views next time instead of just looking outside. would be much better if you did that
Appreciate the feedback!
Great review!
