DISCLAIMER: I enjoy a great relationship with my fellow creators, however I have witnessed myself how Sam Chui abused and insulted Cabin Crew on my flights in order to get footage he wants. His condescending attitude is no secret in the industry that many creators turn down flight invitations if they know that he is coming because they can't tolerate his behaviour any longer and this is unacceptable. I'm not afraid to speak up against it. Many airlines have told me that they have distanced themselves from Sam due to these issues. He is shining a bad light on the community and I think this thread gives you a good idea what flying with him is like: www.reddit.com/r/australia/comments/11uma38/sam_chui_aviation_youtuber_was_on_my_flight_from/
Good for you Josh for speaking up wish more would. He calls ahead to let airlines know he’s gonna be onboard. More airlines should refuse his calls. You guys are more like ghost riders in the industry and this is what airline management wants to get the real deal as to what goes down on the line. Fly safe ✈️
I'm a purser with Lufthansa and Sam Chui came on one of our flights. In all my years flying I have never seen anyone as disrespecful as him. It is all staged and he will ask you to do things the crew is obviously very uncomfortable with. If he filmed something and it isn't to his liking he will ask the crew to do it over and over again. Most shocking though is his behaviour among female crew and he comes across as a total predator, I can only imagine how bad they must have felt around him. I feel most people are afraid to speak up but I hope one day someone will expose him, thanks Josh for standing up.
So glad you exposed him. I can’t stand his videos he looks like an arrogant jerk and so fake. He calls ahead to the airlines to let them know he’s going to be onboard. What a fake 😂
Nichts gegen Sie persönlich, aber jedes Mal wenn ich LH fliegen muss kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, wie diese Fluggesellschaft schafft fünf Sterne zu bekommen?)))
Yooo, Josh! :) It was so good to have met you in Delhi! I still can't believe we weren't just in town at the same time, but stayed at the same hotel haha. (Also just picked the cheapest in Aerocity, right haha?) Looking forward to your other upcoming videos from that trip! Until then, safe travels!
What route were you flying and when is it coming out? Hope it comes out soon (I've noticed some of your videos are filmed months before they are published!)
I've always thought the same way about Sam Chui's videos. So artificial, fake, not the content that I enjoy watching. The only thing his content helped me was to discover other content creators about flight reviews that tell the truth about what the experience flying on the especific airline. Sam Chui doesn't deserve his fame. Feels good to have great content creators that show the real thing, like you, Noel Philips, Simply Aviation.
What an amazing looking flight! Looks like Vistara really improved. I also feel like Sam Chui doesn’t deserve his fame, I’ve never really watched his content as it seemed really fake and set up. Thank goodness that you and other creators like you exist, you show us the true colors of how airlines are and aren’t afraid to be negative or positive about the airline. Thank you so much for doing this content! ❤❤
@lmaomoofeq2505 I do like some videos of Sam Chui, but if you receive so much attention for being a celebrity is impossible to give an honest review of the flight
I actually used to watch Sam Chui a lot back in 2012-2017ish, when all he did was flight blogs. Revisited his channel a few months ago, yeah he comes as extremely pretentious
Great review as always. Glad to see much more professional behavior from the deadheading crew. Love that you ran into David like his reviews also but my favorite is seeing you and Noel together. Nice snub about Sam Chewy lol 😂 our Lufthansa Purser gave us the low down about his fake reviews👍 ✈️
Thanks for the video Josh. Have to agree about Vistara. I flew them from Delhi to Hyderabad last week and they were fantastic. Having flown the superlative Qatar Airways into Delhi before connecting on Vistara, I really couldn't find any aspect where one was better or worse than the other. I'll be flying the Tata Air India soon, so am looking forward to it. Regarding the ex Air India 747s, they are over 25 years old and most likely require extensive maintenance with a lot of FAA ADs to be implemented. So it is highly unlikely they will fly again, other than a one way tripto the scrapper. As for Jet Airways, the future sure looks bleak. They may never make it.
I'm not sure the gentleman next to you knew he was in business class lol. Excellent video mate. I do concur regarding certain TH-camrs who let the side down sadly by their conduct. Keep up the good work.
That's right, funny to look at, the gentleman must have slept the whole flight. Did he know that he was going to be in the picture? Why didn't you pixelate him? Otherwise: Another great and interesting video! Vielen Dank dafür, Josh!
Mumbai Airport has all four 747s of Air India. One on the apron opposite the terminal and 3 on the other side of the runway outside the Air India hangar.
Has Josh reviewed Yazd Air? An Iranian airline that supposedly launched this year and would do domestic and some international flights... Also guessing Josh is waiting for the (re)launch of Ghana Airlines too. What would be really cool is Air Moana, which are supposedly using turboprops to fly across French Polynesia and that area is huge!
I’ve thankfully never watched Sam Chui since I first found out about trip reports and such. Now I know I never will. Keep up the incredible work Josh! Stay classy at 35,000.
My check in experience with air Asia india has always been great , i often travel on air asia and my experience so far has been very good , i usually take the IAD 319 from vecc to vebs and IAD 320 back , its a 50 min hop and the crew does it all very efficiently … do try out this route as air asia is aslo a part of tata group now
Just travelled Mumbai Muscat and back with Vistara economy class few days ago. It was my first time flying with Vistara and the experience was quite pleasant. Crew and meal both were amazing. Besides, this was the cheapest option when I was searching for flight tickets 😝. Surprising that 2 way ticket on Vistara was cheaper than Indigo. Since I've even taken the Club Vistara membership and accumulated miles from this trip, will definitely try them again if I get a chance. If I were to nitpick, AC wasn't running at full power on the BOM MCT leg. Started at full power only when we started our descent into Muscat. On the return leg, I was served only 1 glass of ginger ale while they gave me the whole can while on the BOM MCT leg🤔.
Good and outstanding aviation vloggers like Josh Cahill should be cherished and be valued. Airlines and airports could learn something from these reviews to e.g. their products. For others these vlogs are also e.g. educational.
Oh no Josh! Your limelight for this video was stolen by your seatmate on the first leg - what a character! I would have been tempted to hold a mirror to his mouth to check he was still alive! I would love to be able to sleep on planes like him. I lived in Mumbai (then Bombay) back in the 90's - the airport was a couple of enormous airplane hangers in those days, was always a nightmare getting in and out. Great review...
Vistara does not have Premium Economy (and Business) seats on all of their aircraft. Some of the A320Neos especially with the registration VT-TY* series have an all economy 180 seats.
With the merger just on horizon I hope Vistara at least would be able to fly their Colors I love those purples of vistara more than any other Indian airline
Soon Mumbai will get its 2nd international airport as work is in progress 😊 although it will be somewhat outside but it's not so far as the distance will be 25 minutes of ride to main Mumbai City because of new bridge construction
Hey Josh.. just a suggestion/something i observed; at 4.10, you could have had a smaller frame rather than capturing the co-passenger face in the shot. Not sure if you asked if he's ok with you filming
you are right josh vistara is now right on the top must be the tata magic working full time on vistara travelled recently on a domestic route from mumbai it was wonderful
I also had some bad experiences with rude check-in staff. I remember it was 2011 and I was a student who had reached Delhi from Kabul and then I was planning to go to Pune with King Fisher Airline (It does not exist now I believe). Unlike their beautiful uniform, the check-in staff was ultra-rude to passengers!
I feel pity for those Checkin staff visit them in rush hour and you'll find people rudely behaving to them. In India People Expect 1000 usd treatment/experience on 50 usd expence
Interesting review. Someone has already commended you for the Business plus economy mix. That is really nice and flying on a connecting flight gives the review continuity.
I was surprised to see cabin crew wearing masks. Is that still mandatory in flights in India? I’m sure it isn’t for travelers. Good to see Vistara still acing their food. The last time I flew with them was pre Covid Delhi - Guwahati and back on Business. They were superb.
I enjoy your flight review videos, in this video what brand of sunglasses are you wearing? I've noticed those sunglasses in prior video reviews. Thank you
Honestly speaking I genarally don't watch Sam a lot, so I dont get a lot of recomendation from him, but to my surprise a couple of days back his vistara flight was being pushed on to my homepage and out of curiosity I fell for it and half way through I could sense the video was kind of staged and I had a dejavu, Josh said this in one of his video may be a year back. Haha and bingo. Josh I would love you to review a long haul business class of Air India probably the London flight. 😊,
It's great that you offer an unbiased review and various airlines listen and make changes, and Vistara certainly did so well with your latest trips. Love your very entertaining vlogs Josh. 🤗👍
The bags at 6:55min. I bet the people who were waiting for them was standing around the other side for an hour or so thinking that their bags was lost.😂😂✈️
Cuz it means you get to board the plane first and while I walk down the aisle I get some nice footage of the cabin. It also gives me a few minutes by myself to do a quick seat review and speak into the camera without bothering anyone. Most of the time it works 😂
Otherwise being in the back means more noise and you get off the plane last. So not the ideal seat when not reviewing. Unless you want to score your own row, chances are higher to get these in the back.
@@JoshCahill You’re absolutely right. But if I want the full row to myself, I usually ask the ground staff if there are any free rows. 😊 Most flights in and out of Australia are full atm. But when I travel in Asia and Europe some airline ground staff have been super kind to me. ESP Emirates and British Airways.
10:54 how does Josh know that Vistara watches his vlogs and especially: that it helped to improve their behaviour? Didn’t work for the ground crew it seems…
Josh I travel once a week domestic in india and twice international. Never had any problem with the ground staff with vistara or indigo. In fact they r far better then what we see abroad.
Hi Josh - really like your review . I would be taking the same flight from colombo next week and hope for the same experience. Pls let me know if you happen to travel to Pune in India and would look forward to meet you ,
Im amazed these guys still check bags. You can take on a rolling duffle or backpack that will get you thru a 3 week trip easily. Backpacks 65L are getting on board. So much easier
Regarding the 747S, There are rumours that 1 or 2 would be retained for undetermined reasons. So we can assume something like what British Airways tried to do .i.e paint them in a retro livery and fly them occasionally as ambassadors
Josh great review Vistara looks good . Will the standard of great service continue when integrated with Air India? . As an avgeek the Indian aircraft scene looks very interesting. 😃
Depends If Tata Will be able to Fire old staff and Recruit better staff. There was serious corruptions being made during Previous INC Govt (Praful Patel the Aviation minister back then) they used to take bribe and recruit people. That lead to unprofessional Crew being recruited . Additionally he used to use A320s etc for personal Private flights. Unnecessary expenses to please US Authorities.
Haha the same ground crew helped me with my check in 3 days ago when I was going from Mumbai to Hyderabad at that she was all smiles and helpful I think they also have have their good and bad days.
I've got right the playlists and the "about" of the channel I was looking for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the amazing content man, I enjoyed watching. @JoshCahill keep rocking !
Totally agree with the rude check-in staff, Josh. Coincidentally, I checked in from the same counter at Mumbai on a sunday morning flight, and I came across THE WORST check in experience, both with the member of staff behind the counter, and her senior when dealing with my overweight bag. I had to sprint to the gate and just make it on time. Would recommend everyone flying Vistara to arrive for check-in well before time because this airline's a pain at it. :(
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews, but wonder: as you always wear shorts, are you never concerned about what might have spilled onto the seat before you arrived???
Great to see the improvements. Thanks to your honest reviews we all gain with them. Shocked by the comments by Sam but the way you get along so well with all of the av geeks I follow speaks volumes. Hope this gets sorted because it’s a grave accusation which I do not believe for a second. Take care and keep up the good work
I use to watch Sam for a few years in the beginning but now i never do because its so phoney. I like Josh ( and Noel Phillips too) for his honesty and he will call out an airline if its crap or good which is what he's suppose to be doing

Love your videos man keep up the good work I wanna see more of Philippine airline flights but it’s up to your I am not making you
Sam should also put a disclaimer on his videos. Saying paid partnership, because all of his videos are adverts
I was just reading the thread and I'm not surprised at all. My experience onboard with him was just as bad. Glad that more and more people come out!
Sam chui shouldn’t be the most famous Airline reviewer on TH-cam, I feel like it should be directed towards our Josh and others.
Good for you Josh for speaking up wish more would. He calls ahead to let airlines know he’s gonna be onboard. More airlines should refuse his calls.

I have never liked this man (Sam Chui) I can’t watch his videos. Everything about him annoys me and he loves himself too much.
What the actual fuck….. that’s disgusting. I’m glad I don’t watch his videos.
Nichts gegen Sie persönlich, aber jedes Mal wenn ich LH fliegen muss kann ich nicht nachvollziehen, wie diese Fluggesellschaft schafft fünf Sterne zu bekommen?)))
Just look at him and you'll know why!
The only good thing about Chui was he got plane reviews into the algorithm that led me to people like Noel and Josh and Jeb.
I had to mark his channel as “do not recommend”.
Agreed
@@oyiegeronimo I did the same with that clown chui 😂
Yes!!! That's how I discovered Josh and Noel. They are the best. ✈✈🥰🥰

Took Vistara DEL to BOM earlier this year, was a great experience. Airports themselves were a little frustating in some ways.

actually the air india 747 has been retired from the sky as they are old if u dont know u can get reference from sam chui air india video .

the air India 747 is still laying there untouched, I travelled to Mumbai twice in last week and wondered what was going on with it.
I believe that they are scraping it
Vistara does not have Premium Economy (and Business) seats on all of their aircraft. Some of the A320Neos especially with the registration VT-TY* series have an all economy 180 seats.

Great job Josh, nice to see you enjoying in India. Cheers!!
So one this I have noticed on your videos and Noel Phillips is how many airlines their are outside the U.S. its crazy.
That fella sat next to you on the first flight doing a bit of fly catching 😴😂😂

In Delhi airport I have not had a super friendly experience, but a correct and professional experience on local and international flights.
Saw the boeing 747 in bangalore,India recently! there as also an airbus a380 at the same time a real wonder not gonna lie
Interesting review. Someone has already commended you for the Business plus economy mix. That is really nice and flying on a connecting flight gives the review continuity.
From what I found regarding the 747's. They're gonna sell or scrap all of them except one, which will be kept as a memorial.
I love the bags from 6:45-7:10 fighting on the carousel.
btw the 747s owned by air india were supposed to be sold to an irish company, but those plans failed and now theyre headed to be scrapped
I have seen an airbus beluga at Bombay airport parked beside the 747-8
The guy seated next to you was clearly not impressed to be sharing a row with the world famous Josh Cahill 😂😂
Josh was not impressed to be seated next to a Indian civilian who is so important he could pay for business class 😉
11:28 I flew on the same Air India a321 (vt-ppt) last year heh
I have seen Sam´s video too, and I thought: It really became true.
Josh, if your videos influence on such companies like VIstara in such cool way, that is absolutely terrific!!
How did you get that shot from outside the aircraft. 11:30
6:20 the 747's are marked to be scrapped after remaining unsold
Noooo 😭😭😭
Josh is always fair with his reviews if it's good he will say. Much rather see this than an advertisement for an airline

Good to see Vistara still acing their food. The last time I flew with them was pre Covid Delhi - Guwahati and back on Business. They were superb.
Not mandatory. But some crew wear it as they interact with a lot of people.
I enjoy your flight review videos, in this video what brand of sunglasses are you wearing? I've noticed those sunglasses in prior video reviews. Thank you

@Josh Cahill How do you keep track of all your passport stamps? Tatoo? Printed on wall?
Josh, did you check the pulse on the guy who was sitting next to you?.
Vistara is a decent value for money service provider and that is going to get better only with the merger of Vistara with Air India & Air Asia 👍
Can someone tell me, which air freshener do they use in Vistara ?
Honestly speaking I genarally don't watch Sam a lot, so I dont get a lot of recomendation from him, but to my surprise a couple of days back his vistara flight was being pushed on to my homepage and out of curiosity I fell for it and half way through I could sense the video was kind of staged and I had a dejavu, Josh said this in one of his video may be a year back.

Love the jabs at Sam Chui. That Vistara video seemed so artificial and them all breaking out into song was so insanely random.
I was planning to fly with vistara but their transit policy through their base is rubbish thats why I am skipping it.
Regarding the 747S, There are rumours that 1 or 2 would be retained for undetermined reasons. So we can assume something like what British Airways tried to do .i.e paint them in a retro livery and fly them occasionally as ambassadors
How much did you pay for the ticket? Or you got this FREE as all other tickets to make positive ad for the airline?
8:29 agent not smiled means not friendly they are kind but no cheat smiled
Josh great review Vistara looks good . Will the standard of great service continue when integrated with Air India? . As an avgeek the Indian aircraft scene looks very interesting. 😃
Depends If Tata Will be able to Fire old staff and Recruit better staff.
There was serious corruptions being made during Previous INC Govt (Praful Patel the Aviation minister back then) they used to take bribe and recruit people. That lead to unprofessional Crew being recruited . Additionally he used to use A320s etc for personal Private flights. Unnecessary expenses to please US Authorities.
Love your videos and your style. Keep it up!
Haha the same ground crew helped me with my check in 3 days ago when I was going from Mumbai to Hyderabad at that she was all smiles and helpful
I think they also have have their good and bad days.
I've got right the playlists and the "about" of the channel I was looking for a couple of weeks. Thanks for the amazing content man, I enjoyed watching. @JoshCahill keep rocking !
6:52 the baggages fighting with each other not to move further 😂
Never seen a phone holder on a flight. What a great idea for people with their own entertainment
American Airlines has them pretty consistently.
@@pat-orl Alaska too
Don’t know about playing videos loud …
Josh, great to see you that you're doing economy travel. These days most content creators sit at the pointy end of the aircraft.
I'm curious. Why did you have to check in again in Mumbai, since you were on Vistara for the entire journey?
Booked Separately maybe
You are looking very well these days!
Totally agree with the rude check-in staff, Josh. Coincidentally, I checked in from the same counter at Mumbai on a sunday morning flight, and I came across THE WORST check in experience, both with the member of staff behind the counter, and her senior when dealing with my overweight bag. I had to sprint to the gate and just make it on time. Would recommend everyone flying Vistara to arrive for check-in well before time because this airline's a pain at it. :(
VISTARA & AIR INDIA , that was a quick merge ?
merger is expected to complete in 2024 March
Love your videos Josh, keep up the great effort, with telling the positive and negative reviews of airlines.
What was happening to those cases at 6:50?
Nothing, still bumping
Not him throwing shade at sam chui at the very beginning 😂
i see the passenger guy beside you Josh! was he snoring at all? 😂😂😂 he may need a CPAP
Josh what’s up with the exorcist theme music?
Hi Josh, big thanks for sharing this wonderful video. I would request to make a video on Druk Air of Bhutan from Guwahati to Singapore.
I thoroughly enjoy your reviews, but wonder: as you always wear shorts, are you never concerned about what might have spilled onto the seat before you arrived???
Great to see the improvements. Thanks to your honest reviews we all gain with them.
Shocked by the comments by Sam but the way you get along so well with all of the av geeks I follow speaks volumes.
Hope this gets sorted because it’s a grave accusation which I do not believe for a second. Take care and keep up the good work
I use to watch Sam for a few years in the beginning but now i never do because its so phoney. I like Josh ( and Noel Phillips too) for his honesty and he will call out an airline if its crap or good which is what he's suppose to be doing
And Stefan & Dominique ?
