Love it Josh! The A310 is a special bird indeed. The A310 I took with Air Transat last year was like going back to the 1980s too!. Yours was cooler though! Looks like you had a great time. Let's do some awesome stuff together this year ✈️ ✈️
I thought the plane looked familiar and I know nothing about planes. Transat! I have promised my husband that I would never again book Transat for this plane.
I just could NOT stop smiling watching this.. Your excitement was sooo infectious, and the experience made me so jealous... Flight from Kabul, on an Afghan Ariana, in an A310, during a global pandemic.... That's what legends are made out of.. good job...
It’s really sad that no one haven’t seen the other side of Afghans hopefully this video will teach a really nice lovely lessons that Afghans can do everything and anything proud of my country Afghanistan♥️🇦🇫. Lovely video
It's enough to be proud to come from the Country with the nicest people in the world. Was there in 1973 and 74. There is nothing else like it on this planet.
What an amazing video. I’m an Afghan and I’ve been watching all your videos since you first went to Afghanistan. This video is brilliant and unforgettable.
Josh, I love your honesty in the reviews and you remind me when I was younger, with the same enthusiasm and anticipation prior to boarding an aircraft. I flew on the A310 with Delta Airlines from JFK-SFO and I enjoyed the flight. I am an expatriate living in Indonesia for the past 20 years and used to fly a lot in my younger years but now settled in beautiful Indonesia for almost 20 years am not able to travel as much. By watching your videos it brings back old memories and completely feel and understand your passion. I am almost 60 years old and by watching your videos with such honest comments it's so enjoyable to watch, that it makes me feel younger again. When I fly nowadays, I still have that passion inside also riding trains. Josh keep up with your excellent reviews and stay safe Buddy.
“This lavatory has seen a lot of shit” the best line in this video. Thanks Josh for your report. The A310 was a fantastic aircraft! My first A310 flight was Compass Australia (ADL-SYD).
As said in other comments, your enthusiasm is contagious Josh! Especially for those of us stuck home it's nice to see you enjoying your trip and giving us some insight in this beautiful bird and airline. Keep up the good work
Joah this is absolutely amazing my father was working I believe 1970 he was the head president of this airline and my cousin was a pilot there. watching this place & the short documentary it’s absolutely a pleasure thank you so much
In a country like Afghanistan, I'm sure there is a natural hesitancy to someone just filming everything. It's nice they warmed up to you and started trust you. And hey, one of them even knew about your all-women video. I'm not judging, but if some guy in Afghanistan knows about it, your fame is far and wide. Good work.
So glad that you got to go on the A310 again. I must say that the chubby A310 is my all time favourite aircraft. From 1995 to 2000, I used to go on Aeroflot's A310 LHR-SV0-LHR, and each flight was a memory that I will cherish forever. Thank you for bringing back those wonderful memories.
Great video! I was really looking forward to it! Used to operate one of the oldest aircraft in Afghanistan, Kam Air's B767-200 manufactured in 1983. Love those old classic birds, they have a soul! Thanks for the awesome video!
A310 is a legendary airplane. It's engines are so strong that it can carry another A310 . Between 1999-2010 i was TRC by TK and gave service for this airplane many times. Also flown by my self. During takeoff you will feel the strentgh of the engine, but on landing you will even not aware when you touchdown. My far best favorite airplane of all time. We sold them to Cyprus Turkish Airlines , MNG Cargo and to Ariana.. I will miss this legend so so much
I was born with aviation fuel in my blood (father trained Canadian, US, Aus, & NZ pilots in Saskatchewan during WWII) and when I hear the sound of a fan jet pulling those tons of tech into the sky I'm in heaven. I'd kill for your gig!!!
Josh what an amazing trip on a 32 year old plane! Nope, as old as I am and flying since I was five years old I don’t think I’ve ever been on one. Glad you got this experience after what happened two years ago. Thanks for taking us along with you!❤️👍✈️
Fabulous video.My wife and I flew on a Cyprus Airways A310 from Gatwick to Larnaca in October 1994.We returned seated in business class.I loved that aeroplane.Thanks for great video.
I did my first transatlantic crossing on an A310 from Vienna to NYC/JFK back in 1989...Austrian Airlines then just recently resumed their intercontinental services after more than a decade...I was 17 and it was quite an adventure...my last flight on an A310 was a late evening service from FRA to VIE back in 2001 on LH...
What nostalgia... CSA Czech airlines had A310s till early 2000s, however the nostalgia is that my dad was a Flight Engineer (MS) on the A300B4 since the mid 70s the the B747-300 from the mid 90s... The A300 (and its smaller sibling) has a very special place in my heart and even though truly an older generation plane, it is surptisingly comfortable and quiet....
Josh, I have been watching your channel for 2 years. Every presentation gets even better. Your knowledge of different aircraft and airlines is amazing for someone your age. You are a Cornucopia of knowledge! 👍
Thanks again for a great, well researched video. The Airbus A310 brought me great memories when I first flew this aircraft way back in 1988 with Singapore Airlines, 1992 with CSA (Czech Airlines, this time on a short flight between Singapore and Bangkok, when fifth-freedom flights were common back then) and with Delta Air Lines and Emirates in 1996. You can also say that this aircraft can also be considered an icon as it was a pacesetter of ETOPS (Extended Twin Engine Operations) along with the Boeing 767. Truly an aircraft ahead of its time, and very versatile to operate. it is indeed very refreshing to include bits of history on this aircraft on some of your videos. Fantastic work, Sir Josh :-)
I’ve flown on the A310 back in early 1980s. It was a new model with Trans Australia Airlines. A nice bird she was. This one is so old…. With what’s going on in Afghanistan at the moment is dreadful. May God bless this countries citizens at this difficult time.
My first flight was on a Frontier Airlines DC-3 from Worland, Wyoming, USA to Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. I don’t remember what we took from salt Lake city to New York City and then New York City to London in 1949
I flew the SATA Air Azores A310 many times it was recently retired. That plane didn't have the upgraded LCD TVs like this one, SATA had the CRT TVs that fell out of the ceiling.
As an afghan I would like to thank you Josh again for going back to Afghanistan and also reviewing A 310. I really like your sense of humor and aslo you make great videos thanks again, be well my friend.
Josh brother Salam alekom! I have been following from long time and i cant express my words and feelings that u have made a vloge/ dokumentery with kam air crew stuff and now with Ariana airlines.. All i can say that i thank you from bottom of my hearth for showing the positive sides of great Afghanistan, i would love to see u more in streets of Kabul, and differents province of Afghanistan! i am sure u have never seen the beauty of nature anywhere else in this world.. we want more and more vlogs from u, In Afghanistan.. love u brother. God bless
I flew on the A310 thee times in all. The first two times were with CSA (Czech Airlines) between Prague and New York-JFK, 2006 and 2007. The last time I flew on the A310 was with Air Transat from Toronto-Pearson to Amsterdam-Schiphol in 2015. I like this aircraft very much.
Thank a lot Josh, in the 90s I flew many time on Thai Airways fleet of A300-B4 and A300-600, both domestic and international. I really miss those planes. Quiet and spacious birds ...
Last time I took one of these birds was in 1989 on Air France from JFK to CDG, a great experience back then. Was suoosed to be on Virgin Atlantic, but the flight was indefinitely delayed. As I was on mt way to Budapest they rebooked me on Air France. Josh thanks for unearthing memories from so long ago
I was in Afghanistan's different provinces like Kabul, Jalalabad, Herat, Kandahar, Kunduz, Bamiyan and Mazar-e-Sharif during 2008-2012 tenure....memories refreshed!!!
The Royal Canadian Air Force still operates 5 of the Airbus A310, designated CC-150 Polaris. One is configured for VIP transport, 2 for general cargo & passenger airlift service and 2 are configured for aerial re-fueling. They originally flew with Canadian airline WardAir, and were purchased by the RCAF when WardAir was bought out by Canadian Airlines. The A310s took over from the Boeing 707s that were previously used in the role, and the process is in the initial stages for replacing the A310s.
This brought back memories. I flew an Air Transat A-310 to Rome from Montreal in 2011. I remember even in the Exit Row was cramped and the lack of personal entertainment on a 7.5 hour flight made for a very dry experience. I’m sure when I was younger we also flew on a few of these because my family travelled a lot to the Caribbean. Great video Josh as always, thank you for taking me to amazing places that I don’t think I’ll visit in this lifetime. Lots of love from Canada
Your videos just keep on getting better, thanks for sharing. Kabul airport had opened a new real business class lounge few months before the covid crisis, called Pearl Lounge. The crews on your Afghan flights are warm and genuinely nice, they reflect Afghan hospitality.
You are lucky you flew Alive from kabul. I flew on the A310 eastern airlines( defunct a long time ago) fom miami, florida to new york laguardia and vice versa many times in the 1980's. Was very roomy. Very good service even in economy class.
I used to fly Business Class on Czech Air A310's from JFK or EWR to PRG, the seat was very uncomfortable for being Business Class, but the worst thing they allowed smokers in the early 1990's, I used them because it was an easier/convenient way to get to Bratislava, Slovakia. It is a big shame that Czech Air is bankrupt and owes 200,000 plus customers money paid for cancelled flights, looks like they operate 3 airplanes today, I remember the days when they had like 50+ aircraft or more and 5,500 employees! They have just celebrated 20 years with Skyteam.
That was a wonderful video Josh that gave me a feeling of nostalgia because my first ever flight was on a Kenya Airways A310 from Nairobi to Bombay 25 years ago! I am glad to see a few of the old birds are still going strong in the skies. Thank you so much and keep up the good job.
Great video. I flew a TAP A310-300 Recife, Brazil to Lisbon in Magellan Class in '98. My company flew both the 310-200 & 300 as freighters but they're all in the desert now.
Sadly Kabul, fell today to the Taliban. What is in store for Afghanistan and the airline? Who knows. Thanks Josh for the videos you did make there. Be Safe...
I flew on a SAS DC-9-21 a few times when I was a kid. Never flown on old aircraft recently though. But to do that, I have to travel to countries that operate them still, like you are doing.
BREATHTAKING, what an experience!👍 I remember, I flew only 1 time the A310 from Singapore Airlines in 2001 from Bali to Singapore...20 years ago, puuh😢
I flew on the A310 with KLM from Amsterdam to Copenhagen somewhere in the 80’s/90’s... before landing was invited to join the landing in the cockpit, and since we went back on the same plane an hour later, we got invited to join the takeoff in the cockpit....amazing experience!
My first flight weas back in 2000 with a A310. From Bremen (EDDW) To Palma de Mallorca (LEPA). Becuase of the short Runway in Bremen -about 2000m- it was a full thrust takeoff. At this moment, i was "infected" with flying. About a Week later the plane Crashed in Vienna (Hapag-Lloyd-Flight 3378)
I actually got to fly an A310 into Afghanistan as well... Though it was owned/operated by the Luftwaffe. I still have the Luftwaffe boarding pass, hand written, showing CGN->TMJ->MZR. Probably one of the more unique flights I've ever taken.
I wish you could do a review of internal flights in New Zealand,there’s so many to chose from as got family there,all your reviews get straight to the point and knowledgeable and it does give me pointers when booking with certain airlines so thank you 🙏
Amazing channel Josh can you do a Flight Report on Corsair's new a330neo or maybe Delta Airlines:a350 Kuwait Airways: a330-900 Air France: a350 ANA : 777-200 Thai Airways : 787-8 Just saying
Josh Cahill love your style and be proud! Yes, me an old school avgeek. Only once flew aboard Airbus A310-221 on Swissair SR January 1986 at the time the aircraft was just over 2 years old between LHR-ZRH. Just as you reported cabin is very quiet throughout the flight as I also noted as well at the time 35 years ago. Swissair provided great service and lavatories aboard were clean and fragrant with blue juice flushing toilets! Transferred at ZRH to fly to Kai Tak, Hong Kong on Swissair DC-10-30ER... multi stop milk run flights with quality Swissair SR service, sadly now long gone. Keep up with your busy work presentations and keep safe. Ansett 727.
This video helps know the retro comments of travel. As a 13 year old seeing this plane reminds that before I was born aviation was still stunning like now. Thank you for always giving a unbiased review on such aircrafts like the A310. Great job as always!
I flew on one of these in 1997 from Bucharest to Bangkok via Dubai on Tarom. The stop in Dubai was totally unexpected and most passengers didn't even know about it. I was sitting on the left by the window and everything looked exactly the same. Your video really reminds me of that trip.
Good on you for supporting the airline. Afghanistan is a nation that's been absolutely crapped on by the rest if the world and there's just some lovely people there. I love our local Afghan cafe. (Shout out to Kabul Cafe in Beechboro)
Love the excitement, joy & experience. My first flight was on a China Airlines Boeing 727 back during late 1960s. It was my most memorable experience - boarding from the rear stair under the massive engines.

This video shows how planes have evolved so we should appreciate the past and future advancement of airline industry, good job Josh

A310 is a legendary airplane. It's engines are so strong that it can carry another A310 . Between 1999-2010 i was TRC by TK and gave service for this airplane many times. Also flown by my self. During takeoff you will feel the strentgh of the engine, but on landing you will even not aware when you touchdown. My far best favorite airplane of all time.

sir waiting for your vistaras b787 trip report on internation route and india trip too❤️🙂
Only the Airbus A300 and A310 have yokes instead of sidesticks and fly by wire. It's rare to see these old Airbuses in passenger service now.
Get after that Lacoste sponsorship man, great view as always!

I flew on this same aircraft in September 1990 from Hamburg to Istanbul, thx for sharing Josh, nice throw back memories..
I flew with this plane in 2006 under turkish registration (TC-JDA). It great the see my old buddy back :)

Best wishes and love for the Afghan people! Hope they rise through these turbulent times stronger than before.
Nice to see you back in Afghanistan and enjoying your time on an exotic plane.
Love, love, love the A310. Reminds me of my first ever solo flight which was on an SAA A310 back in 1989😁
I flew on a A310 of Air Transat from Montreal, Québec to Cartagena in Colombia years ago. It was amazing, I had a really great experience 👍

Sadly Kabul, fell today to the Taliban. What is in store for Afghanistan and the airline? Who knows. Thanks Josh for the videos you did make there. Be Safe...
I flew on a SAS DC-9-21 a few times when I was a kid. Never flown on old aircraft recently though. But to do that, I have to travel to countries that operate them still, like you are doing.
My first flight was with A310! During 1980s! Amazing plane!
BREATHTAKING, what an experience!👍
I remember, I flew only 1 time the A310 from Singapore Airlines in 2001 from Bali to Singapore...20 years ago, puuh😢
Your video is getting better. Do more nostalgic flight in places nobody dare to go like Iraq, Iran, Cuba or North Korea!
Shaddup
And Turkmenistan
Yeah he should try Fly Erbil
I flew on the A310 with KLM from Amsterdam to Copenhagen somewhere in the 80’s/90’s... before landing was invited to join the landing in the cockpit, and since we went back on the same plane an hour later, we got invited to join the takeoff in the cockpit....amazing experience!
The iranian ones are in SOOOO well condition and even have a better cabin than new aircrafts in low cost airlines
I love your unpretentious approach to flying any airline, any airplane. Keep it up!
My first flight weas back in 2000 with a A310. From Bremen (EDDW) To Palma de Mallorca (LEPA). Becuase of the short Runway in Bremen -about 2000m- it was a full thrust takeoff. At this moment, i was "infected" with flying. About a Week later the plane Crashed in Vienna (Hapag-Lloyd-Flight 3378)
Amazing Josh! And the crew was so nice and kind! 😊👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I actually got to fly an A310 into Afghanistan as well... Though it was owned/operated by the Luftwaffe. I still have the Luftwaffe boarding pass, hand written, showing CGN->TMJ->MZR. Probably one of the more unique flights I've ever taken.
I think your positive energy changed the crew's attitude. I love when you get excited on these reviews. Safe travels.
What a antique. I had many flying experience on this bird. I love retro.
I wish you could do a review of internal flights in New Zealand,there’s so many to chose from as got family there,all your reviews get straight to the point and knowledgeable and it does give me pointers when booking with certain airlines so thank you 🙏
No, Australia.
@@isfet5149 His done Australia
A310... All time classic beauty!!!
I started my career as flight attendant for Swissair in 1990 on the A310! Great aircraft 😢❤

Delta Airlines:a350
Kuwait Airways: a330-900
Air France: a350
ANA : 777-200
Thai Airways : 787-8
Just saying
I flew on that plane from New York JFK to Istanbul and back when it was Turkish Airlines twice in the 90s my favorite long live the A310
Josh Cahill love your style and be proud! Yes, me an old school avgeek. Only once flew aboard Airbus A310-221 on Swissair SR January 1986 at the time the aircraft was just over 2 years old between LHR-ZRH. Just as you reported cabin is very quiet throughout the flight as I also noted as well at the time 35 years ago. Swissair provided great service and lavatories aboard were clean and fragrant with blue juice flushing toilets! Transferred at ZRH to fly to Kai Tak, Hong Kong on Swissair DC-10-30ER... multi stop milk run flights with quality Swissair SR service, sadly now long gone.
Keep up with your busy work presentations and keep safe.
Ansett 727.
This video helps know the retro comments of travel. As a 13 year old seeing this plane reminds that before I was born aviation was still stunning like now. Thank you for always giving a unbiased review on such aircrafts like the A310.
Great job as always!
That engine sound at 07:31 sent shivers down my spine.
What a sound Great video 😍✈
I have flown on some a310s of mahan air, from bangkok to tehran from tehran to kish kish to tehran tehran to istanbul and from istanbul to tehran
You’re brave going to Afganistán and even braver flying the A310. Well done and thanks for the video.
Incredible review ! You never get bored on your channel ! There's always a cool and original trip report to watch ! Good job Josh !
I flew on one of these in 1997 from Bucharest to Bangkok via Dubai on Tarom. The stop in Dubai was totally unexpected and most passengers didn't even know about it. I was sitting on the left by the window and everything looked exactly the same. Your video really reminds me of that trip.
Sadly never flown on a A310 but watching your excellent video is the next best thing.
Good on you for supporting the airline.
Afghanistan is a nation that's been absolutely crapped on by the rest if the world and there's just some lovely people there.
I love our local Afghan cafe.
(Shout out to Kabul Cafe in Beechboro)
Love the excitement, joy & experience. My first flight was on a China Airlines Boeing 727 back during late 1960s. It was my most memorable experience - boarding from the rear stair under the massive engines.
I like that you don't discriminates the various societies. GOOD ON YOU.
