We all used to hate EgyptAir. Let’s be honest about it: rude, completely untrained cabin crew, filthy, outdated planes, and catering that was nearly unpalatable. For the longest time, flying Egypt’s flag carrier was a painful ordeal, earning them a reputation as one of the worst airlines on Earth.
What happens when you strip away the champagne, multi-course fine dining, and even the entertainment screen from a lie-flat business class seat? You get Zipair, Japan’s most bizarre budget airline and a subsidiary of Japan Airlines flying an all-Boeing 787 Dreamliner fleet.
Flight Details Tony Douglas promised us a “new travel era” with the launch of Saudi Arabia’s new carrier, Riyadh Air. But after flying both their Economy and Business Class products, the reality behind aviation’s biggest PR campaign turned out to be a very bumpy ride. From dirty seats and broken tech to an aggressive no-filming
You guys always wanted me to try Delta Air Lines, “America’s finest airline.” So, I took a trip on the world’s busiest airport in Atlanta to see what they are really like. The result? Shockingly bad. Dirty, old, and broken seats, a cabin crew casually chilling with a Starbucks in her hand while boarding, and a cold service culture that made me question how good they really are.
I recently headed to Malaysia’s capital, Kuala Lumpur, to experience a true world first: Berjaya Air’s all-First Class/Business Class configured ATR 72. While variations of luxury narrowbodies exist, an all-premium ATR is something the aviation industry hasn’t really seen before.
Air Algérie has been one of the most highly requested airlines on my channel. I previously tried to fly them two years ago on a transit route from Paris to Dubai, but ended up on a wet-leased High Fly aircraft instead. This time, it finally happened: a double-header itinerary featuring their 24-year-old Boeing 737-600 and their brand-new flagship, the Airbus A330-900neo.
Montenegro is a stunningly beautiful nation with crystal-clear waters and breathtaking mountain landscapes. It’s a country that deserves a boutique, proud flag carrier to match its tourism potential. Instead, it has Air Montenegro, an airline that has officially claimed the title of “Europe’s Dodgiest Airline.”
Having recently survived a grueling 29-hour journey from Buenos Aires to Shanghai, I felt mentally fortified to tackle a true bucket-list route: the world’s longest non-stop commercial flight from Singapore Changi (SIN) to New York (JFK). This route is operated by Singapore Airlines’ specialized Airbus A350-900ULR (Ultra Long Range). It’s a premium-heavy bird built to stay airborne for up to 20 hours,, featuring 67 Business Class seats and 94 Premium Economy seats. You won’t find a basic economy cabin here.
As the industry in 2026 continues to consolidate, we’re seeing the end of some iconic brands. The merger between Asiana and Korean Air means the end of the Asiana name as we know it. I’ve always had a soft spot for Asiana, and with the airline’s fleet set to be absorbed by Korean Air by the end of the year, I wanted to experience their Airbus A380 one last time.
Today, we are taking a literal step back in time. I booked a business class ticket on a domestic flight in China to experience a true living legend: the oldest active passenger aircraft in the country. This isn’t just any aging widebody; this specific Air China Boeing 747-400 served as China’s “Air Force One” for decades, and it is the exact plane that chartered North Korean leader Kim Jong-un to Singapore for his historic summit with President Trump.
