Air Asia was by far the worst airline I have ever flown on taking off in a violent thunderstorm from KL to Melbourne, the aircraft was rocked too and fro an Irish girl seated next to me had a panic attack the air stewardess was visibly shaken the pilots voice was trembling you could hear hailstones pelting the fuselage for about 2 minutes, no drinks and food was served due to the turbulence, I've flown many times never seen anything like that, my dad was airforce in Australia it's not allowed to take off in a violent thunderstorm above an airport.
I tried Magic and it didn't seem to understand my requests. Not only that, but it had minimal information about the city I wanted to stay in (Yokohama), couldn't understand the area where I wanted my hotel to be (kept recommending hotels in other areas of the city... or even in another city entirely) and suggesting places to visit that were only reachable by rental car (despite me saying I cannot drive). Not good. Might work for people with bottomless budgets who are happy to drive a rental car and consider Tokyo as 'Japan'. Sorry!
If the executives are guilty of money laundering, they deserve the harshest sentencing. All of the employees trying to keep the airline afloat while the executives were probably living a life of luxury. I feel sorry for those that have lost due to other people's greed 😢 Good post, thank you.
I feel so bad for all of the employees. In one day everyone lost their job. Do they have any recourse in trying to recoup some of the money they were owed to begin with?
@@lindabarrett5631 Probably not, they might get a portion of their wage. As in most cases of this type the creditors and businesses tend to get first claim on the assets and recovered money. 😢 Like you, I feel very sorry for the employees as some of them will lose homes, cars and possessions.
@@thepagan5432 How different it is here in Europe (Germany in my case) where employee´s salaries always get first claim including pension scheme etc. before any other claims.

The golf course at Don Mueang Airport is owned by the Royal Thai Air Force. It can be a little tricky to get there (taxis are not allowed inside the compound), and photography is not allowed. But it is a very unique experience playing there!
MyAirline was a slight upgrade from AirAsia & with some of their deals a lower price tag. KL to Penang round trip for 45rm (around $9-10 USD) was a great find for us
Great that you managed to review them! We all started getting suspicious when they started cutting even obviously full routes. Then the founder got arrested. Actually he had already been investigated for various money laundering activities several years ago so it was a surprise he even got to start the airline in the first place
In the early 00's, I flew a low cost airline on Peru named Aero Continente. The fares were cheap, the service was great, and they were the last operators of 727's on domestic flights. Aero Continente also abruptly ceased operatings when their owner was arrested for money laundering and drup trafficking.
@@janellek21He's a MY Chinese and non-Muslim. Why would you equate in your racist mind Islam = Terrorism. The terrorism Josh mentioned in the video is taken from the full name of the law itself.
So many dodgy airline owners in Asia. Vijay Malia and Tony Fernandes come to mind. Fernandes wasn't dodgy as such like Vijay was, he was just unlucky in his other ventures. Fernandes ran an F1 team for a couple years, but got in legal trouble for naming rights. Malia also ran an F1 team, and also got in legal trouble, albeit bigger trouble.
My son has end stage organ faiular.He loves watching you programs while he is in hospital.He allways asks when are you and Mr Philip s going to put out your next videos.Thank u both so much as he says he's going to fly in the sky with you.
Very surprised that it's row 13 that's missing. Usually in Malaysia, if a row or a floor is missing, it's 4 (and often 14, 24, etc). My apartment when I am in Malaysia is on floor 3A, which is between floors 3 and 5.
This is because people will think number with "4" is misfortune, therefore replaced with 3A, 13A, 24A instead, but this is "13" missing, which I wonder why too. haha
Nice vid Josh! I was at Don Muang in 2000 and we were stunned too when we saw the golf course. It was quite busy there at the time, amidst all the flying. Don Muang was very active back then, with lots of both civilian and military aircraft seen 'in action'. And Thailand is a wonderful country.
I like the old Don Muang airport. I actually liked it more than the new airport. Used to fly there from LHR. It was old but had a certain charm about it.
I really hope they'll be painting the sky red again. It's high time, AirAsia needs to be kept in check. By the way, you are staying at the world's 2nd biggest shopping mall🎉😊
Idk why some airlines remove row 13 because of it symbolizing bad luck and some don‘t. Personally, I don‘t count if I sit in row 13 or 12 because if something happens, sitting in row 12 instead wont make it better. Eurowings also has no row 13. Just some weird beliefs ig
Just to avoid inconvenience of moving passengers around, a lot of south asians are paranoid about number 13, so a little number skip isn't that big of a deal as compared to switching passenger seats regularly
The founder was charged under the Anti Money Laundering/ Counter Terrorism Financing Act. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s accused of both, likely just the money laundering part. Makes it sound like there were arms being smuggled in the cargo hold
I just wanna thank you Josh for all the effort you put into this video just for us keep up the good work my friend! :) also I don't think Asia would need a new budget airline because they already have plenty of options not the mention some pretty cheap one.
I honestly think a Jetblue-like airline model or a ultra-low cost carrier model might be the only two ways forward for a new airline in this part of the world.
I sat in row 13 on two legs of my flight to Stockholm this week on Delta Airlines, but living in China, my apartment building did not have a 4th or 14th floor.
Any idea what the emergency the departing Air Asia flight was about? I flew with Air Asia from Bangkok to Luang Prabang on Wednesday of this week, and the flight was delayed by an hour due to them having to find a "replacement aircraft". Our aircraft came in from Hat Yai, so I'm wondering if it was the flight to Hat Yai that had the issue. It does, of course, depend on when this was filmed!
The 13th floor of buildings are also replaced with their next number as well in many Asian countries. No point having something that potentially makes the people/culture uncomfortable. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.
Josh - Your videos are 'top notch'! and so professionally designed. Bravo to you BIG TIME! I recently returned from Papeete Tahiti and flew Air Tahiti Nui. Perhaps you should consider trying it out sometime and add it to your repertoire of air travel ... quite a beautiful experience. Best to you and keep those videos coming. It's great entertainment! - Paul from Boston Massachusetts
great vid Josh. Personally ive experienced MYAirline as well and have found their services better than AA. Am sad what happened to MYAirline, no fault of the staff who are just trying to earn an honest days wage. I do hope MYAirline is bought over by a new investor. Cheerio.
I am going to Kuwait, Dhaka, SIN, Indonesis, East Timor, Malaysia, Brunei and Thailand i January. We are flying Pegasus, Jazeera, Biman, Jetstar, Batik Air, Citylink, Scoot, Royal Brunei, Firefly and Norse Atlantic, during our wacation. Luckily i hadn't ordered anny tickets with MYair, when they went bancrupt. If Asia need one more LCC? East Timor is way to ekspensive, and needs one more route to SIN. But the hotels there are to few and expensive as well. Also Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea might need one more low cost carrier. Also the Filipines might need one more LCC to BKK and SIN. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore have enough LCC. Just check out the nubers og flightw between Jakarta and Bali each day, it is a lot.
In China, the unlucky number is 4, so you probably won't find row 4 on many airlines, or 4th floors in buildings. I've never been to China, but I read about this. A friend of mine also flew MyAirline roundtrip between KL and Bangkok. I hear the airline will be resuming service soon after some reorganization. There are definitely way too many low cost carriers in Asia, but MyAirline seems to have a decent business model. Time will tell.
In many cultures, the number 13 is associated with bad luck, which is why many airlines prefer to avoid igniting the superstitions of their customers and have opted to remove the number from there seating plans. Irrational fear of the number 13 is known as triscaidekaphobia.
2;00...I do like the name Myairline, it is such a cool name. I also like the name you mentioned "ur' airline but not written yourairline but as "urairline" which also sounds cool to me 😎.
@@horseathalt7308 I understand that, but scandals usually overrules practice :( and not always a chance to start from The scratch. May be it’s better do the rebranding before the restart
Employees have not been paid for their August, September salary and their mandatory retirement contributions that is suppose to be allocated by the employer have not been paid for nearly 5 months. This is an airline supposedly setup with the idea that the main competitor Airasia would crack open belly up and downsize its operations. Unfortunately Myairline is backed by an unreliable and fraudulent owner plus the already over capacity domestic market of Malaysia means they have to consistently fund the airline for years before there is any signs of break even plus airasia is not showing any signs of slowing down.
Myairlines really needs to duvest itself of the current owners and reinvent itself to survive as always it is another aspect of flying that affects the majority of flyers. Hope you did not rough it too much this time. Blue skies my friend.
If i remember rightly you have to cross the taxi way between the 2 runways when playing golf there to reach the other side of the golf course. Flown many times into Don Mueang with Eva Air and Thai before the new airport Suvarnabhumi opened.
For Malaysia the sky already overcrowded, no more budget airline please😬. Therefore existing budget airline need to consolidate its regional route and tie up with main-stream airline to provide feeder service the latter not serving. With that budget airline has the real chance of survival in the long run 😑.
I don't know what you mean by no more budget airlines, since the vast majority of people and companies would prefer to have cheap flight tickets. Despite people complaining about budget airlines are always late or aircraft makes weird noises, when it comes to vacation or traveling, people would always go for the cheapest tickets. As for not surviving in the long term, Southwest Airlines is the oldest low budget airline in the world. It was founded in 1971. That airline is older than my parents!
I feel for all the employees that they let down in the name of greed. The plane was really clean. I imagine its hard to be upbeat when you are not sure of yor job. Another budget airline would enhance competition for customers and maybe better perks to fly with them. Be safe in your travels. The world is getting more crazy. Until next Saturday when I see your next video..take care.
Seasoned travellers will eventually come across 'triskaidekaphobia', which is why some planes, ships and hotels will not have number 13 seats, rooms or decks. It's skipped. It is superstitious.
European airlines tend to avoid row 13 due to superstition, in the same way (at least some) European hotels avoid room 13. In parts of Asia (Japan, China, and others?), it is the number 4 which is avoided, as at least one reading of the number four is quite similar to the word for death.
Love your historical tidbits. Some criticism from a fan-- improve the volume between scenes and consider upgrading cameras might go a long way. Keep up the good work, and always nice seeing you have fun!
In Thailand and some asian country believed that no.13 is very unlucky number… in Donmuang airport, there is no gate no.13 and terminal door no. 13 also 😅
Not only in flights, in most of places, u will not find number 13, be it be flat, residential floors (even in 5 star hotels or commercial building), house, street etc... its just a superstitions in most culture... not only in Asian countries. Friday, the 13th
Many cultures consider number 4 and number 13 as unlucky numbers. Similiar to how Friday the 13th is considered unlucky. In some places at Asia, having those kinds of numbers is another way of attracting bad luck energy.
The thing with the number 13 comes from the defeat of the TEMPLE ORDER a thousend years ago, no? Knights defeated by the catholic church. Was a Friday. 13th of October (I think).
I have been as a passenger for MYAirlines (Suvarnabumi - KLIA) their service quite good compare with AA… For me the budget airlines need competitor since nowadays as we need to get the best service eventhough its only budget…
9:52 theres another airline that barely lasted for few months..anyway all the leased A320 of myairline has been returned (or recalled) by the lessor, so i dont think they will be flying again, whatever BS investors theyre talking about
Yes I knew there was a golf course between the runways at the old airport 😂😂. I noticed it about thirty years ago when I was in my early teens. We landed in a BA 747-400 from LHR, it was very rainy but I was thinking, am I seeing correctly! Is that a golf course on the airport?
most likely better than air Asia i traveled on other day to Tokyo will never complain about Ryanair after the trip with them that's for sure, most scary flight i ever had and had plenty over the years. plus the fact nearly frozen to death no toilet rolls in loos i thought of your loo reviews at the time lol.
Been to Malaysia twice, the last one was in Mallaca. We stayed then at Hatten Hotel and was surprised to have our room at the 13th floor. First time in my life to have something associated with the number 13 as here in the Philippines, in our condo, there's definitely no Floor 13 and again, to my surprise, also no Floor 14. It's a Chinese superstition, no number 13, number 4 and now also 14. It's very much deemed unlucky though I think it's a nonsense. What does the number have to do with luck? It's all in the mind. A bit awkward to think Malaysians have a thing about the number 13 but then again, the founder of the airline was of Chinese descent, so are other Malaysians, the tradition remains.
Negative. Chinese don't have anything against the number 13. And not all Chinese don't like the number 4. That would primarily be Cantonese speaking groups.
@@Silverelfz NEGATIVE? Tell that to the developer, whose roots are Chinese, who built, and still building, countless condominiums here. Let's see what they'll tell you about Chinese customs, Feng Shui and what have you.
@@glenndavidtorres LOL. The stigma against 13 is a western thing. If you see it in various Chinese related locations, it's because it's a western influence. Same as 4, it's a Cantonese influence. That's simply how it is, and nah I don't really hear it from people, I know it.

The number 13 is an unlucky number in a lot of cultures, so some airlines don't include the row 13 on their planes.

Im so sad that im a person living in Malaysia but will never fly this airline :(
In Thailand and some asian country believed that no.13 is very unlucky number… in Donmuang airport, there is no gate no.13 and terminal door no. 13 also 😅
Kuala Lumpur immigration took me more than 2 hours a couple weeks ago.
Lucky guy with 3 minutes haha!
The crashed Quantas plane that you show on the video, was actually sitting in the middle of the gold course on that photo 🙂.
It’s too late now some of the myairline a320s already have the airasia logo on them😢
Not only in flights, in most of places, u will not find number 13, be it be flat, residential floors (even in 5 star hotels or commercial building), house, street etc... its just a superstitions in most culture... not only in Asian countries. Friday, the 13th
Many cultures consider number 4 and number 13 as unlucky numbers. Similiar to how Friday the 13th is considered unlucky. In some places at Asia, having those kinds of numbers is another way of attracting bad luck energy.
The thing with the number 13 comes from the defeat of the TEMPLE ORDER a thousend years ago, no?
Knights defeated by the catholic church.
Was a Friday. 13th of October (I think).
i lke the video very much Josh Keep it up
I think Malaysia can support 2budget carriers.
13is unlucky number and many will not book that row
I have been as a passenger for MYAirlines (Suvarnabumi - KLIA) their service quite good compare with AA… For me the budget airlines need competitor since nowadays as we need to get the best service eventhough its only budget…
9:52 theres another airline that barely lasted for few months..anyway all the leased A320 of myairline has been returned (or recalled) by the lessor, so i dont think they will be flying again, whatever BS investors theyre talking about
Yes I knew there was a golf course between the runways at the old airport 😂😂. I noticed it about thirty years ago when I was in my early teens. We landed in a BA 747-400 from LHR, it was very rainy but I was thinking, am I seeing correctly! Is that a golf course on the airport?
My Qantas cabin crew trainer was on the QF1 which went off the runway for her inaugural flight 😅
You should also try Juneyao Airlines 787 dreamliner too
Josh you’ve been carrying that model airplane box all around Asia and I really want to know…what plane model is that?
Hey Josh, are you planning to try Air Macau of Macau, Lao Airlines of Laos or StarFlyer of Japan anytime soon ?
most likely better than air Asia i traveled on other day to Tokyo will never complain about Ryanair after the trip with them that's for sure, most scary flight i ever had and had plenty over the years. plus the fact nearly frozen to death no toilet rolls in loos i thought of your loo reviews at the time lol.
Qantas will be thankful for mentioning that minor incident😊
I don't know if any1 reads this, but what is the song called in the beginning of the video? It's such a banger. Love the vids!
Been to Malaysia twice, the last one was in Mallaca. We stayed then at Hatten Hotel and was surprised to have our room at the 13th floor. First time in my life to have something associated with the number 13 as here in the Philippines, in our condo, there's definitely no Floor 13 and again, to my surprise, also no Floor 14.
It's a Chinese superstition, no number 13, number 4 and now also 14. It's very much deemed unlucky though I think it's a nonsense. What does the number have to do with luck? It's all in the mind.
A bit awkward to think Malaysians have a thing about the number 13 but then again, the founder of the airline was of Chinese descent, so are other Malaysians, the tradition remains.
Negative. Chinese don't have anything against the number 13. And not all Chinese don't like the number 4. That would primarily be Cantonese speaking groups.
@@Silverelfz NEGATIVE? Tell that to the developer, whose roots are Chinese, who built, and still building, countless condominiums here. Let's see what they'll tell you about Chinese customs, Feng Shui and what have you.
@@glenndavidtorres LOL. The stigma against 13 is a western thing. If you see it in various Chinese related locations, it's because it's a western influence. Same as 4, it's a Cantonese influence.
That's simply how it is, and nah I don't really hear it from people, I know it.
@@Silverelfz LOL also, 🤣🤣🤣, you haven't been to China or Chinese communities. Go out of your cave and learn something. 😂😂😂
@@Silverelfz so Cantonese is not Chinese? LOL! 🤣🤣🤣
You know NOTHING. WESTERN MY ASS, BWAHAHAHA! 😂😂😂
Just flown from EMA where there was no Gate 13
I remeber that Lufthansa didn't featured row 13 also
Where did your Myanmar video go??
OK I have to ask you what airplane model is in that box. This is the second video of seeing you tote that thing around lol.
Nice Czech national football team t-shirt!👍As a Czech i appreciate that.😉
oh I miss AirBerlin .... :o (because you mentioned it)
