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.

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!

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'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! ❤❤

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

I'm not sure the gentleman next to you knew he was in business class lol. Excellent video mate. I do concur regarding certain YouTubers who let the side down sadly by their conduct.
Keep up the good work.

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👍 ✈️

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.

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’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.

Those bags having a good old punch up on the conveyor on the left from 6:53 is pretty funny :D

[adisura]

Haha not at all a problem Josh. There is more to Indian cuisine than just curries anyways! Hope your future flights in India keep getting better

[SwirkH]

Josh, I appreciate your integrity in those videos. Also you always seem like a nice & genuinely curious person, not some sort of bufoon.

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🤔.

[frausmithy]

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...

[pham]

i only watch you and Jeb Brooks, no bs, straight on point

[deepanshumathur]

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

[ChineseKiwi]

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!

[praveennair]

I loved this video and happy to see an improved cabin crew and inflight services. Good food on board.
