Pakistan's CRAZIEST Airport! My Chaotic AirBlue Adventure

I took a flight from Pakistan's craziest airport to fly on AirBlue and ended up having something of an adventure...

I love the way you manage to keep a cheery disposition when everything around you is falling to bits. I would be beside myself! Enjoying your adventures.

Definitely wouldn’t have left my luggage unattended with the check in staff. In certain places in the world that could land you in all manner of trouble😬

I think Noel holds the world record for the number of “thank you’s” 😂👍

[tonychan]

Whoa, there.... you left your luggage at check-in and walked OUT??!?!?! Bit dodgy, ain't it? Check-in always ask if you packed it yourself, and if it has left your sight at any and it did here! If they sneaked in something without your knowledge, and Dubai found it, you're screwed!

After having traveled around the world for a number of years as wonderful as noel being able to fly to all these places I am glad not to have to do this anymore but it’s nice to see him go through it all from the comfort of my home 😂😂😂

[KanwarAnand]

Noel, your videos are always on point, comprehensive, fair, detailed & much fun to watch. I love the commentary. Keep it up.

[uzmaahmed.catmoon]

Oh my word, This video had everything. From scams and intrigue to an aviation geak's dream. Cudosto you for having the good manners and patience to deal with it Noel.

Im sorry you had to go through that at the CIP Lounge, in all my years flying out of karachi and always visiting the CIP Lounge I have never experienced this. Nevertheless I hope you enjoyed your stay in Pakistan and are always welcome back!

Thanks Noel, enjoying your videos, especially about Pakistan, i was working there whilst based in dubai from 2015-2019 and commuted weekly between karachi and dubai, always on emirates, for the first years emirates didn’t have their own lounge and buisness class used that lounge where you were invited too, having lived and worked in Pakistan i was well aware of the tipping culture and always ensured i had ‘’small money ‘’ in my pockets,
Unfortunately it backfired on me after emirates opened their own lounge upstairs and i went to the bathroom and just as a matter of habit i tipped a Pakistani guy who was standing in the toilet, he was quite offended as he was not a toilet attendant but another business class passenger on my flight, i was a bit embarrassed …….
But karachi airport is always and adventure, normally a funny one .

I was thinking that they stole your bag. I am glad you did not disappear in the lounge. I enjoy your travels so much. You go to places I will never go to. As a fellow pilot just love sharing your life. It does say a lot about the U.S that it seems the only unruly passengers are on our domestic flights.

8:56 Hi Noel, I'm sure you're wondering when they will paint the Interjet Aircraft. PIA recently ordered aircraft paint remover and new paint so as soon as both ex-Interjet aircraft and 2 other ex-MEA aircraft reach their C-Checks, the aircraft will be painted in the current liveries. Cheers!

The whole check in bag shenanigans is why I decided to only take a backpack with me. Sure, you are limited at what you can take with you, but feeling secure about my stuff being with me on a plane is worth it atleast.

[gdparry]

I could probably cope with that ticket runaround but i know some in my family would have a breakdown. Well done.

Back in the 1980s and 1990s you would get a full meal on a flight from New York to Denver in the States. Those days are long gone.

[SamuelTaylorAckroyd]

Amazing video Noel! If you ever have anyone come over to you to invite you to an airport lounge ever again, politely decline because they are most likely trying to do the same thing those guys did & get tips! Despite all the chaos that you had to deal with for this trip, I recon it was still worth it in the end cause you have the satisfaction that you have made it! Excited for the future content!

[Daledugahole]

Here's something crazy I just worked out. You can fly from Brisbane Australia to New Caledonia, New Zealand, Vanuatu, Samoa, Fiji and Papua New Guinea faster than you can fly to Perth, which is still in Australia 😂

Wow that's a torrid experience first up. Love the calmness with which you deal through the situation.

Inspirational Lord Noel!

The lone flip flop on the baggage belt kind of sums up the crazy airport adventure doesn't it!

Tipping is getting out if control everywhere especially when most people dont carry much cash with them anymore. Maybe someone will invent a world wide tipping credit card?…haha
