World's Most Bizarre Airline - North Korea's Air Koryo
The flying experience on North Korea’s “one-star airline” Air Koryo is completely different from any other airline! You can fly this airline and visit a museum at the same time! But are they really bizarre and terrible?
I share my experience of flying Air Koryo on their Soviet Ilyushin IL-62, Ilyushin IL-18 and modern Tupolev 204 and Antonov 148 aircraft. It actually has more leg room and the seats are wider than most other airlines, customer service may be better than United or RyanAir. There are free food and drinks for everyone. It is definitely an exotic experience you don't want to miss!
The aviation tour to North Korea has given us the opportunity to visit many parts of the country including the sacred Mount Paektu near Samjiyon. I share some of the first hand insights about the country, the tour guide, accommodation and food.
The video also covers North Korea’s first Air Show; Wonsan AirShow. It was the most exotic airshow I've ever attended with a lineup of rare Soviet vintage fleet of Air Koryo and North Korean Air Force, many joy flights on Air Koryo, and the possibility to meet with North Koreans freely at the airshow.

    In the early 90's I flew from Tokyo to Moscow and then to London, with Aeroflot. Talk about a wild experience on a Russian plane, at Moscow there was a couple of hours to wait, met two Americans who were stuck at the airport they were not allowed to leave something to do with their visas. When we returned to the plane it was a free for all to get a seat. I had two young Russians next to me, they pulled out of a bag lots and lots of money bills they were going to London for some business. On the return flight from Heathrow the Russian gentleman next to me pulled out a bottle of Vodka as the plane was roaring down the run way to take off and started drinking, with the Russian pilots the passenger next to me said " I don't trust Russian Pilots and I am drinking now in case it's my last one " The engines of the Russian aircraft were so loud and you could smell the fuel inside the cabin, the stewardess would come round selling stuff and each time they came round the product got cheaper and cheaper I ended up buying a nice watch really cheap, it was just a crazy flight.

    I Do not know if this guy is from America, but he should not be. no one from this country should go there and if they do, they must sign an agreement that they are on their own because of what the stakes are. all that happens is we have to move heaven and earth to get them back. spending millions of dollars having politicians work on their case because they wanted to visit a place like this plane, stuck back in time with the leader thinking he is God. why would anyone go there knowing that they hate us and wish death on us. I was once asked years ago when I went to Jamaica, do I want to visit Cuba since it was only a 45-minute ride there and I told them to get lost. I would never spend a dime there and do not trust them.
