Will Air India become one of the best Airlines in the World again? Let me know! Feel free to follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates - See you over there :)
Yeah it will!
After tata takeover, air india has seen one of the biggest changes, new planes, new uniforms for the cabin crew, rebranding and new liveries. They are ready to be the kings of the aviation industry again!
They are in good hands but they need to change course as quickly as possible. It'll be a transformation worth looking up to if they pull it off.
Sam Chui and the worst airport in India in one day, no way 😂😂😂
@@Adnan71584 Worst airport? You mean Mumbai airport? Really?
Sam & Josh in one frame? Air India doing more good than it intended hahah
Air India is really making people make amends, huh?
They were seated next to each other in a previous flight some time in 2016 I think. Like this time, that meeting was also accidental.
Absolute legend mate@@umbertlambert2113
@@umbertlambert2113thank you!
😂😂😂
As a Srilankan, feeling PROUD abt this Indian product!!
India's first Rolls Royce engine plane
Thanks bro
Really? Thanks for the info.@@abhishekdev258
Thanks
Thanks
This is also India's first aircraft ever with Rolls Royce engines. Indian airlines have always opted for alternative engines. The 744s had Pratt-Whitney, the 777s and 787s had GE. This is the first Indian RR plane.
They have no choice, it's the only engine they have
What about Indigo's V2500 engines lol
@@cf6260 V2500 was IAE
No , Air India's Boeing 707 did operate with Rolls Royce Conway Engines in the early 60's....
Boeing 707. Rolls Royce Conway.
I remember Air Indias livery of the 70s & 80s when they had a fleet of A310s & 747s. An all time classic, that one...
They should do a Retrojet Livery like Vistara Did on one of its A320. I have seen the renders of A350 in 2001 Livery and it looks Classic...
I think the biggest accomplishment by AI is getting Sam and Josh together 😅
Hopefully Air India stays the way it is right now and keeps the pace of innovation
Lost it at the beggining when he called sam his 'best friend'
You could feel the tension 😬. Loved that part
He said "best friend for today" I think 🤔
You have missed the slight sarcasm in his tone 😉
They are both HUGE bellends in my opinion!
Can anyone explain, what is the controversy between them? Everyone is mentioning in the comments.
It was Great meeting you Josh !
I am looking forward to meet you again. ❤️
No way! Reconciliation with Mr. Sam Chui?
The Truce of Mumbai 😂
Did you join Sam's club? 😂 excellent vidéo as usuel.
The most fake meeting a very honest person with integrity:) sounds like the story of my life. Good on ya Josh for being real
there was probably a photo stick fencing match we are never going to see xD
Lol true😂@@JoshCahill
The rebranded Air India heralds the Dawn of a New India while preserving its roots (notice the remnants of old branding in their teapot). It's a celebration of the emotions of 1.4 billion Indians. Three cheers for the return of the Maharaja of the skies! Best wishes to Air India, and a big thanks to Josh for the video.
As a captain of the airline, I would request our Indian pax to be more accommodative and patient too, and help us keep the aircraft cleaner, which will help us to increase the longetivity of the aircrafts 🙂 as always, it's a pleasure to fly our brothers and sisters from India and all over the world. To new beginnings!
Proud to see our own fat baby in the air with new josh and the new branding of Air India🎉
Sad yet true but sadly they won’t 😢
Mr,captain ... Change ur staff behavior.. On board and on ground... That needs to be more cleaner than the aircraft...
Haha we Indians won't. We have a serious problem with keeping public spaces clean. We have a 'its not my job' kinda attitude and many treat flight attendants like servants who are expected to clean after them. Until this rotten mentality is improved neither India nor Indian airplanes can be clean.
This comment sums it up. I see some Indian passengers really making a mess, especially after long flights, damaging the hardware. Also cleaning by staffs needs to be done much better. Otherwise, these new planes will become old and smelly again.
Some corporations/governments appreciate feedback freely shared with the goal of improving their service, others ban those who do. So kudos to Tata/India for this so important step forward.
Glad you had the opportunity to have an honest conversation with Sam, some of us have our preferences but in the end it was refreshing to see you both enjoying this experience.
You cannot say that so early...lets see how TATA handles criticism if any after they receive more aircrafts and start flying them international. Also I am bit concerned about appointment of Manish Uppal as The Chief of Flight operation in AIR INDIA his past records are not good. He was earlier in AIR ASIA INDIA and was exposed by A very Popular CZcamsr Flying Beast ( Real name GAURAV TANEJA )who was a Captain in INDIGO for 11 years before moving to AIR ASIA INDIA. Gaurav Revealed that the Airline used to force PILOTS to do FLAP 3 landing 98% of times in order to save fuel....which used to become very dangerous in Airports like Guhwati , Kozhikode....etc
Even after reporting multiple times MANISH UPPAL didn't took any action for which Gaurav Taneja reported to DGCA and when MANISH UPPAL and AIR ASIA came top knew about this they fired Gaurav Tanja after which he posted a video on his channel which became viral. AIR ASIA Filed 10cr (USD 1.3 Million) Law suit against him. After a few days Kozhikode accident took place And DGCA finally conducted unplanned audit in multiple airlines and Guess what!!!
DGCA found Multiple lapses in Operations of AIR ASIA INDIA and it suspended Manish Uppal from position of Chief of Flight Operations.....makking it first time in History of India that DGCA suspended any Airline Officer on basis of AUDIT and Complaint.
Yet After a Year AIR INDIA decided to hire MANISH UPPAL as Chief of Flight Operations😑😑
@arpanabinaswar1811 yes at the end of day, this is basically AI PR flight to hype up some expectations, let's see how the cookie crumbles once regular passengers faces issues.
Josh is so proud of new Air India A 350 aircraft and transformation, like he is an Indian and celebrating the moment as his people have achieved something great. Thank you for the Support Josh. Thank you for everything do for yourself and us.
His girlfriend is indeed Indian and on top of that an AI pilot 😉
@@anna-marianunezvega1520 ew racemixer
What an exciting flight, Josh 😀And I genuinely hope for nothing but success for the ‘new’ look Air India. Very gracious of you to politely explain the difference between your work, & that of Sam. Well done. I must say I feel the exterior is slightly bland, with the new ‘AIR INDIA’ branding. I loved the traditional Indian red paint touches which framed every window on the old fleet, but I can imagine that it must be enormously time consuming (= expensive) to carry that out. Excellent review, & a happy party flight for all AV Geeks! ❤
I have only flown Air India for short flights in country 🇮🇳 because of their reputation and experience, I’ve never considered them for longer than a 3 hour flight. I fly to India 🇮🇳 yearly now, used to be sometimes twice a year before the pandemic 😷. I have high hopes that now Tata’s involvement will improve the airline enough for me to consider a long haul flight ✈️ India deserves a world class airline!
Pppppppoop
@@Snowlapster गंदा चतुर
@@Snowlapsterhow is this adding anything?
What a lovely experience it was. My country's first A350 with two of the most prominent voices in the aviation sector ( Obv. you Josh and Sam) on board. Nothing but proud of how far Air India has come and how far it aspires to go. Thank you and Grateful to you Josh for bringing such intriguing aviation content.
Don't call Sam a prominent voice. Hes a paid service provider. Atleast other paid content creators have the spine to claim they are sponsored
Good to see air India shining again ❤
But I Hope it keeps shining Yesterday on Banglore-Mumbai Sector there was this guys in Yellow Checked Shirt....Maaan that Guy Dosen't have any Manners I went to Loo after him he had literally used Tissues and droped it righ in front of door. We need to get rid of such fellows who Tarnish the Image of Indians.
Literally if anyone know him please Tell him to behave....
India shining?? Not until they stop their love affair with Putin.
It was anything but shinning
Ok cutwe as you say @@isloooo
Aircraft is shining because it's brand new. Air India on the other hand has long, long way to go.
Have traveled in Air India whole life . See these new flight brought me to tears. My country is changing. Jai Hind. Proud to be Indian.
Well done Josh. Good to see you and Sam get together for a chat and nut out your differences. The real winner is aviation which you both have an amazing passion for albeit with a different way of presenting it. Loved this episode!
I missed the story, I know he has said a couple of remarks regarding Sams style of critique but did it all come to a head?
„That‘s what men do“ 12:11 - I really like both of your aviation channels!
Competition - keep the audience entertained and informed✌️
You came across as a real PRO & so did Sam✈️
I also don't get the hate in the first place. It's just a different approach and both have their place and are pretty interesting. I like Sam's videos of showing how the airlines markets the product and all the behind the scenes stuff, and I like Josh's, Noel's, Jeb's,.... videos of showing what you can actually expect if you fly those airlines.
@@FalconX88 there's a twist though, old sam used to be like that, nowdays he seems like an airline marketer, almost everytime when he's not posting a yt vid he's flying qatar and only posting about it's positive side
@@kenanaltaf1575 I looked at his 35 last videos and only a single Qatar Video and that is about the catering, one of the "behind the scenes" videos I mentioned. Seems like about 1/3 of his videos or more are like that.
And as I said, getting the "corporate view" is also pretty interesting and it's very clear if it's that or an authentic flight review.
Thankyou for featuring me in your video Josh . Looking forward to more flights in future with you ❤
Air India and Vistara can merge peacefully and successfully! But Josh and Sam? No way 😱
Hi Josh, you and Noel Phillips are my two favourite Traveling CZcamsrs always 👍🏼👍🏼 Lovely video 😊
Their the beat of the best!
The transformation is amazing. I love the product and rebranding is very sleek
But we are Yet to all the amenities. Probably on International run. Cause the Menu was Old on this Domestic Run also many of the Curtlery they showcased in Wings India were nkt used in this Domestic Run , Also Washroom Amenity Kits were absent, New Headphones were absent also the New Welcome Drinks that have been created were not served on this Flight ( I am Waiting to try that Guava one)
@@arpanabinaswar1811they said it will come on international flight starting mid 2024
Love how excited you get! You must love what you do. 😊
Dropping so many funny references The Cricket Final 🤯and Qatar Upgrade lol 😁Well Done Air India. 👏
Enjoyed both your and Sam's video: great Aircraft and Air India Service. A sound rule for Life Josh: "Always build bridges; don't burn them".
Wow so amazing Josh. Aviation does bring alot of people together 🙂❤
Great to see you and Sam shaking hands and having a man to man conversation and respecting each other's views!
India looks like it is on the up in every sector / lifestyle / economy , becoming leaders in many aspects and a proper developed country
As a britisher myself it makes me happy they are finally coming out of our abolishment of their riches by us 😢
Last time I visited and the time before that was such a tremendous change it really shocked me
Keep it up you guys
Real respect in all the ways possible 👍🙏
You are the only British person about has the decency to say Britain robbed India of its wealth and not peddle the roads/trains/civilisation/democracy usual nonsense.
@@harbari oh mate absolutely, I think a lot of us , atleast around me totally agree , not only India but many nations , and we are embarrassed about it , but it’s the past and so happy to see India doing great 👍
Live it past is past, let's live in present! No hard feelings! Cheers!😀
@@Aneesh.Asokan forgive is fine forget is not...same fr Mughals..
@@amiemohan8578 That's according to COW PERSPECTIVES!😂😁😀
Good on yaa Mate, Job well done showcasing new India. You sussed it out extremely well.
It's lovely to see first A350 in India, It's way to go for Air India after bought by Tata. Also, I'm really excited to see a combo of Josh & Sam in a single video, I know there's vast difference in both of you, but the way you express each other in both's video and sharing about experiences rather than just giving it review makes my heart. I loved how much you're excited to review the first A350 in India, and would love to see more experiences in upcoming videos.
Great to see you and Sam are friends. I have only flown AI once, JFK-LHR on a 707 in January, 1967, and it was really good, so nice to see a good service again. Love your posts.
Great to see that you and Sam have reconnected…Wishing Air India the best
Wow, looks like air India is starting to take a turn for the best! 🎉
If Sam Chui said it was going to be a sunny day I would still take an umbrella. This has got all the feel of a paid promotion.
100%
What an incredible experience it must have been, and I’m super excited to see Air India grow into a world-class airline once again!
Josh is just the best in the flight reviewing business. Hope to see him reviewing Cathay’s long-haul product soon!
Great vid of the first flight on the new and improved Air India and happy for you that you were among the selected group to share and even included Sam. Very mature and adult of u!
As Air India is making improvements, take it as an example and change that lil mic and use the square type. Noel has change his and it has a great sound😉
Never thought i'd see Josh Cahill and Sam Chui in the same video but I'm glad to finally see it! 😂 Also the new Air India plane looks amazing!
Excellent video as always. By far you are the most informative and comprehensive airline reviewer on youtube giving an honest outlook without any bias. Thank you for showing us innovation and helping to make informed choices on our airline choices :)
Loving the new Livery. What a nice welcome on boarding the aircraft, i really noticed those stunning new uniforms
Hey Josh ! I watch your videos often, as well as Noel's . Was a very nice gesture shaking hands with Sam, though one could sense the fiction when you were leaving the aircraft. On the positive side, your inputs are greatly
appreciated. Love from Toronto. Looking forward to your next video and experience. As for Air India, hope the cabin crew & maintenance team keep the aircraft as new & clean as possible. This has been one of the main issues down the years. Cheers!!
Hi Josh you are the most perfect critic. It always keeps the airline companies on their edge and of course in larger interest of the end customers
Nice to see you both Josh and Sam ❤️
Thanks for covering AI's A350 such a treat ❤️
Good to see Josh with Sam on the pride flight of India - Air India A350👍..Thanks to Air India for giving the people of India a chance to be with the rest of the world.
Definitely.... hope they reach more milestones and once again become truly world class airlines....
hey Josh...great to see bridges built in an A 350 :) glad for you both. waiting to get into this aircraft soon. May you keep soaring high bro.....best wishes
Very cool video, could sense the love and enthusiasm for aviation through the screen 🙌❤️
Excellent video Josh! Everyone looked so happy and passionate about the flight!! Well done and have forwarded it to a friend!
Love from abudhabi cahill im from pune , by the seeing changes now a days in indian airlines we are very proud to be a part of this product and I hope all the other airline should do the same and One day India will now it for its famous aviation markets in the future. Thanks once again to show these beauty product through your channel love from Abu Dhabi .
Sam and Josh have different perspective - that's all - no need to judge each other and fight.
Life is short - enjoy your own journey - be happy in your own walk - no need to hate others.
Good to see them be courteous on this happy occasion for Air India and AvGeeks all over the world.
Well said!
sam chui ☹️😈
Josh Cahil 👍😉
aww Sam seems really nice, why does everyone love to hate him :(
@@Arcanine1995 because his reviews are fake. Those who know know it
@@Arcanine1995he’s just rich and fake
Beautiful Plane. Nicely Done Josh.
Great video! Awesome to see Air India improving their fleet. I flew on Indigo and it was an amazing flight and are always on time for departure. Hopefully will get to try on board the new Air India fleets!
You told chennai is your favorite indian airport... please visit newly built Bengaluru terminal 2.. its stunning
10:12 bro just trolled Qatar 😂
And 9:21 when he said not Q-Suite
Great post…….great effort Air India….world class product 🎉
Amazing trip report Josh, as usual. Proud of India and Air India.
Love the new livery! And love when people can put aside their differences for the love of aviation. Great video ❤
I guess aviation can unite us all. :)
"travelling with my best friend, sam chui" - we all know what that means.. lol
just commenting for the cahill keyring.
🤣
Maintain a high standard in air travel and Air India will succeed! Great to see the upgrade & revival of this legacy carrier!
Wowwww!! Amazing
All the best Airindia
Great to see such an upgraded product on AI fleet. It looked very good on board and clearly AI is enhancing both experience and safety by going for Airbus.
Great video as always! Especially good that you talked to many people as well. I'm hoping Air India will start competing with Emirates/Qatar etc on the North America routes.
great stuff, beautiful aircraft
Nice to see all of the aviation experts in one frame, never seen before like , love from Germany
Great review josh,your honesty and dedication towards aviation is just amazing ❤
This is truely a unique airplane compared to AI's older fleet. Now I understand, why they delayed the first A350's delivery, so they could showcase some of their newer seats with minor touch of aeroflot's interiors. I really love the Flight crew's uniform and how Manish Malhotra has designed them so well keeping in mind the comfort that it would provide to both male & female crew. Flight meals looked stunning as always catering out of Mumbai & Bengaluru is top notch. Regardless of minor differences, I feel that Air India is on the right track to come out as a world class airline like how it was in the early 1970s or 80s and I hope they will preserve their interiors of their new aircraft for coming years and also refurbish some of their current older B777s or B787s.
As always amazing video Josh!
I think I am addicted to Josh's voice now and all his mispronunciations. Love it and always look forward to it!
You gave Sam a keyring ? ....... I mean, still hoping I'm getting one ! 😂
True, different people, different styles, different approaches to vlogging, I'm glad you found Noel to collaborate. Who else would you/are you young to collaborate with? Trek Trendy? Food f(l)ights with Mark Wiens, Paul Lucas?
PROUD TO BE INDIAN
eh? Proud should be French and American people who are delivering these beautiful planes to India. There's nothing to proud when some private company is buying these planes out of their own money.
@@chiluxr250 IF THE COMPANY WAS NOT THERE BUYING THE PLANES THAN WHY WOULD FRENCH AND AMERICAN PEOPLE BUILD PLANES
Do you think India is only the country that buy planes? @@Ninjaga6172 If India needs to be a world leader we need to make planes just like Americans, French and Chinese.
Bro shut up ! it's embarrassing!
Wow so amazing Josh .
Air India will definitely go like this
We the Indians feel in the seventh heaven and when a popular aviation geek is so impressed withAir India. Because JRD’s sweat and blood has gone into making this a world class airline once upon a time. Hope it reaches the same pinnacle again.
They are impressed by the aircraft, not the airline.
With the Tatas, we sure would get there, regaining past laurels. Used to travel by Air India to Frankfurt & back, for 3 years, in Boeing 747 in mid 70s. Should strive to come back successful & make Indians proud
Time will tell
The open dig at Qatar Airways Haha. And graciously meeting Sam Chui was just a crossover everyone loved in the Av geek world. So proud to see Air India taking the leap to become a world class airline and hopefully give tough competition to Gulf carriers who are slowly monopolizing luxury travel.
Great review of Air India's new product. Nice to see that you and Sam had a refreshing conversation
What are your views on the merger with Vistara? I'll personally miss the airline, and I think they may have been able to keep it as a separate, domestic-only premium brand.
I just really hope
TATA group just get this right
Cause its so important for us
Sam came all the way to the door for that good bye wave❤ That was so cute of him❤ We love you both.
Congrats to Air India, what a beautiful bird! And congrats to your new friendship with Sam, Josh 👍
I used to watch Sam, but since I discovered your channel some time ago Josh I much prefer your content. I hope you do some stuff with Noel Phillips again this year. Good luck and as I always like to say, wherever you are going safe travels. Very original! Cheers.
So great that you acknowleged the differences between you and that insufferable Sam Chui. It's clear to see that in your vids there is nothing for the camera or playing to the camera. Your interactions with the flight crew are not planned or anything and you arent as intrusive as he is. All in all, your channel is so much better. It's great that you hold airlines accountable and never take favours from any of them.
What an upgrade. So proud of Air India. Jai Hind
So good to see you in India. You should review more Indian Airlines. Great Job Josh. ♥️💐
Happy to see Air India’s come back with their new fleet ❤
Amazing and love your honesty. Hopefully Air India will flourish and just need to keep on top of their planes but passengers also need to show respect too. Too many times I’ve seen on air India flights passengers just showing disregard for the staff and aircraft and have said on many occasions to show some respect which is usually met with a we’ve paid our money
Loved this Josh🙌🏽 good to see you and Sam together as well since I’ve been a following you guys since a long time now. Looking forward to more videos from you. Cheers
Thank you for sharing. Being an Indian resident in the U.S, really appreciate your review.
Thanks for reviewing Air India🇮🇳 The owner of Air India Company is Tata.The legacy they hold is truly phenomenal.Tata companies are the owner of Jaguar.So you can understand the quality they provide.Within some years,Air India🇮🇳 would be the best in the world.
indian passengers should have the quality civic sense to maintain it
Bro Land Rovar Jaguar are literally the world's most unreliable brand in the automobile history 😂
You should try South African Airways now, they just relanunched flights from Johannesburg to Perth, which commences on 28th April 2024. This is a huge milestone for SAA. They are finally returning!
Thank you Josh from the bottom of my heart, for covering the first Commercial flight of Air India. I like the way you building bridges, not to burn them. Thank you again.
Gosh Josh. Im so envious of you. Being able to fly a A350 and a brand new one. I think this is a new beginning for air india
imagine josh, noel, dan, sam and gabriel from fr24 on the same flight..
that wouldve been litt
Gabriel is hot too
My family took a risk recently took Air India to New Delhi from JFK. The talk around all the improvements TATA had been doing was one of the reasons they took the risk. The flight was a disaster. The bathrooms were filthy and the staff were exhausted and rude. Delays during departure and delays in getting bags. I am not sure where these improvements are being made.
This is the first new aircraft
Hi! Josh. Great video👍🏻 Thank You for sharing. Cheers!🥂
You’re the best aviation reviewer Josh. Really appreciate your honesty and integrity. Keep up the great work. Regards from Vancouver YVR!
We all know Sam had to be on his best behaviour with Josh around.
And vice versa!
All Credit for this Improvement in Air India goes to Honourable 🙏 PM Modiji and 🙏 Sir Ratan Tata 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳.
here comes the idiot. how the credit goes to your PM?? The credit goes to to one and only Ratan Tata...
