Love to see how much this channel has grown over the years but has kept one thing the same, the honesty in the reviews. Truly a rare thing today

[mst]

I’d argue this is one of *the* most enjoyable videos on this channel. Cool airline in a lesser known country, very detailed, good and all and different flights and aircrafts…

[pabojoe]

I have flown Air Astana between Seoul to Almaty several times. The airline holds its own among the great airlines of the world.

[minzhichen]

Love the fact that you start the video in Incheon talking about air Premia and end the video by the plane parking next to air Premia!

[JeanClaudeCOCO]

‘We’re here to try everything not just the best seat’

Take that Non Stop Dan

[sainnt]

Every video I've seen about Air Astana has been really good. I'm really looking forward to visiting Kazakhstan as soon as possible.

[michaelj]

Suggestion. Fly Oman Air from Muscat to Khasab, no-one that I can find has done a review of the Khasab airport experience, it's the most amazing landing/takeoff, straits of Hormuz on one side and moutains on the other, you can even see Iran across the straits.

[chicagolanddesigns]

I’ve really been enjoying how every video has a voice over now. It makes the reviews so much more enjoyable. I look forward to every single Saturday

[pocketplanes]

Air Astana is very interesting, I wouldn't have thought a Kazakh airline could be so successful

[T.K]

Air Astana is recognised as the best airline in Central Asia and the CIS

Air Astana was awarded the Skytrax Award for the 12th time as “Best Airline in Central Asia and the CIS” and for the eighth time was awarded for “Best Airline Staff Service in Central Asia & CIS ”. The ceremony honouring the winners took place in England.
New terminal in Almaty has done and works very well 👍

And More over Borat has nothing to do with Kazakhstan he is a Crazy comedian.

[WOLF_KZ]

I also want to write, I wanted to say about Kazakhstan, Kazakhstan is a very rich country in Oil and Gas and is in first place in URANIUM production, and Kazakhstan produces good, clean OSMIUM!
Kazakhstan is a wonderful country!

[gibbs]

Been following your channel for a while but never mentioned this.
Your intro is the best intros among aviator channels out there.. Great job on that ND of course your brutally honest opinions on your flight coverings
Greetings from osloo, Norway

[neelarnav]

WOW!! 3 Flights ! Man you are INSANELY GOOD.

[ETMiklu]

I think Air Astana is truly missing on its potential. Kazakhstan is located in the middle between Europe and Asia, and since the closure of Russian airspace it could serve as a bridge between the continents. However they would have to settle on one hub and build and airport that is truly fit for international travel.

[danielschwarz]

Very good review and Air Astana is probably one of the most underrated airlines out there. The food looked very well presented and not far behind from Qatar, I would argue. Josh Cahill is a big fan of Air Astana and now I have watched this video I totally get it. I would love to try them as well one day.

[calebchan]

The meals onboard Air Astana look so mouth-watering! Excellent reviews, David and Co.!

[russellgray]

I’m sure I can see why Astana are so confident of their airline, definitely one to look out for 👍🏻

[noahmyg]

I got the notification for this video right before I had to go to work this afternoon, so this was really nice to watch after a long shift. SCAT airlines sure sounds... interesting :) As expected, this was another great video from you. I'd love to go to Kazakhstan one day if I ever get the chance

[jmgrahit]

This was a great video, David! I watched the whole thing and it really didn't feel too long!

During my flight from Beijing to Almaty on the 29th of March, their breakfast options only consisted two vegetarian options but when my flight out had only beef and chicken options. Though both were fabulous, it was rather interesting to only have vegetarian options
