This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

About their experience, one of the co-founders is Aditya Ghosh, former President of IndiGo Airlines, the man who built "the best LCC in the world". No shortage of talent in Akasa's management.

The thing I like most about your channel is that you don't make videos to just whine at each and every tiny thing and of course no clickbait thumbnails or 'shocking' claims! It makes your content more relatable and knowledgeable to everyone. 🙏🏻

[davenorth]

I travel a ton and watch a ton of you tube reviews. Yours are the best. So tired of those that only travel business or first class and so tired of their complaints about the type of silverware or the quality of wine. Who gives a crap?

[davidperry]

Thanks for adding the background information on Akasa Air and the Indian market in general. This really does help put things into perspective.

[bierstick]

Serving drinks preflight in my view is equivalent to taking a business class offering into coach.
Increased risk of high cleaning costs but marketing gold when considering the untapped market referred to in the same video.
First time flyer from small town relating his experience to his mates: “Dude, you get a free coke and some chips before we even get wheels up! Woohoo!”

[denisesommer-roque]

The growth figures are truly mind boggling 😵‍💫 Hopefully safety and quality will be not be compromised in the process. Thank you for another great review! 🙏🏼

[airedition]

Good one! Especially enjoyed the comparison of Chinese vs Indian commercial aviation numbers. Enlightening.

[Dhrruvv]

Akasa can be some REAL competition to IndiGo...

[kapoorchavda]

As a NIR iam so proud by the progress.JAI HIND

Thanks a lot Kevin for the fantastic video, very clear and to the point. No cribbing over small things and making fuss for minor things. Very objective, expert and fair indeed. This was the first video I saw from your channel and I am glad I found it. Liked and Subscribed. Thanks a ton.

[AussieJetSetter]

Super flight review mate, very well researched and produced. As always big fan of your content and can't wait to the next one!

[rakeshtarun]

Was waiting eagerly for this BLR ➡MAA Akasa review video!❤‍🔥With love and support, one of your subscribers from Chennai.💌
A small Request: The Chennai airport’s new integrated terminal to undergo trial run by the end of the month and it will be in service after that. So I wish, you'll be reviewing our Airport in Future too.🤞🤍

[timwallinger]

As someone hoping to travel to India in 2024 these recent videos are really helpful in getting an understanding about what to expect when visiting this country. Excellent informative videos beautiful filmed and presented.

[AmitAnand]

Another great video Kevin.. Keep up the good work !!👌👍

1. I have found Boeing's cabin build-quality a bit behind Airbus having flown the 737s of Vistaara and Akasa.
2. My first ever Akasa flight from BOM-BLR was also delayed, but I was intimated via SMS and not Email, so I guess you were unaware of the delay.
Anyways, great review and narration 👍

[SaiRamalingam]

Most honest travel videos from you unless like other paid promotion grt work like watching the videos

[AryanSingh-upwq]

According to me akasa air and vistara have the best colour theme

[dheerajsairamnagisetty]

Very nice and simple and clean review I really liked it,
All the best for your future videos

[dpvisser]

Great to see a video on Akasa Air! Did you stay in Chennai or did you have a connecting onward journey? I'm curious to hear as to where you stayed, if you did spend some time there. Enjoy and keep the videos coming :)

[patriciafuchs]

Very interesting. Your reviews are always filled with useful information.
