Nonstop Dan what do you think of Turkmenistan Airlines?
Nonstop Dan when their A350 is introduced, would you do another virgin Atlantic upper class review ?
Hi dan I’m going on an American 777-200 premium economy from Dallas to Amsterdam. do you have any suggestions? Also I wouldn’t fly spirit. Love your videos!!
Review the airline called PIA
@Queen Jeed Absolutely! I loved their soft product but wasn't as big of a fan of the seat, so this will surely improve the experience quite significantly :)
I refuse to fly Emirates first class because I can't afford to.
hahahahahaahahahahahahhaahhahaha
That’s not ethical to make fun of someone’s weight, be a decent human being jackass.
Lol
how is he fat shaming
HUGE mood
As a Singaporean, who has flown multiple times with AirAsia and Scoot, I did not really have an issue with them, especially after considering the premium you would have to pay for fly the same route on a full service airline. AirAsia and Scoot also operate mainly in Asia where passengers tend to be smaller in size so that might explain why they are still pretty popular with locals
Fun fact: Before the Iranian revolution in 1979, Iran Air was ranked second only to Qantas in terms of safety and that was because of having fewer operational hours.
They also used to fly to the US, thew flew nonstop from Tehran to New York
BTW as an Iranian national, I'm sure they know how to go around / bypass all sanctions pretty well 😅 Also, they still carry out outstanding maintenance and regular inspections which makes their Airlines reliable and fit to fly over European airspace.
Islamic extremism really damaged Iran as a whole, absolute shame. My grandfather worked in Iran as a volunteer back during the Shah's reign and would often talk very positively about the country and its people
If you're refusing to fly Saudia for human rights reasons, you've got to avoid Qatar, Emirates and Etihad. Saudia doesn't get covered a lot but imo has excellent service across the board.
4 years on, you know what happened.
Air Koryo would be an example of all of them lmao
still better than United
Sam Chui likes Air Koryo. And the fuck would pass up a flight on an Il-62?
I dont think they are that uncomfortable or unsafe, only heard quite positive things about them
Koryo uses old school interiors, from before the practice of sardine canning seats in became a thing, but still it is North Korea, so you still have their terrible human rights record, psychotic leader and their aircraft are very old and not likely maintained very well. Sam Chui has easier access to NK than most people because he is a Chinese citizen and I believe he currently lives in Abu Dhabi
Air Koryo isn’t that bad watch Sam Chui’s video it looks like a great airline

MateoRide I know, but I only made this list based on Daniel’s thoughts.
Trey Pohe yea that’s my response to dan’s thoughts lmao
For our uk/European peeps, Ryanair!!!!!! For comfort and safety
And Tunisair
Hey Daniel.... Thanks for this particular video. Being a certified aircraft mechanic (and pilot), I've been asked this question more than once by a travel agent I used to book through. When the agent would be traveling abroad, this question would come up. I based my comments on FAA data, as well as a few well know "industry" magazines. Your list is an update, of what I used to shy from, or not encourage travel on. Some of the middle eastern carriers you mentioned, were on my list at the time. Main reason for my refusal to fly an airline, would be based on questionable maintenance practices. I would agree with you on the LCC (or is that LLC) you mentioned in the US. Its always troublesome when upper management has little to no regard for required and necessary routine maintenance, and heavy maintenance. (Bet their cars are treated in in similar manner.) Its a matter of SAFETY!
Cheers....
Yes, I agree with you and that's why I strongly suggest to NOT to fly Aeroflot, especially domestic flights. Their attitude towards repair and maintenance is almost non-existent or quite laid back.
I am watching these videos but only can afford Southwest Airlines.
Southwest isn't even that cheap anymore
i always fly singapore airlines if there is route
There's nothing wrong with Southwest!
They are better than the legacy carriers
@@warriorsfan7397 So true, I take DL and I like to compare prices and there have been numerous times where SWA was more expensive than Main Cabin (not basic eco) on DL
Taylor Cohea i can only fly frontier 🤭
I like your lowkey video editing. Keep it up
yo and you know what you should try: Lufthansa is operating a a340 on short haul flights from Frankfurt to Lisbon in july
should be LH1168. Im taking it on 29.07 maybe u wanna join :D u could be in ma vid
its around 200 Eur per way in business
Still need to review air koryo. Lol. Wait no. You HHAAVVVEEE to review air koryo 😂
I was surprised that Air Koryo didn’t make it onto the list
Would be super hypocritical of him to fly Air Koryo, when he won't fly Saudia and Royal Brunei for humanitarian reasons.
@@Ozymandias1 not to do with the airline?
iain macdonald I don’t think Dan could get a visa or any documentation that could allow him comfortably in North Korea since he probably has an American passport and all the anti American feel there would mean that it wouldn’t be wise for Dan to review that
Lucy Pimlott he is from the UK and lives in Sweden so what are you talking about
I find really strange that you refuse to fly Saudia and Royal Brunei and still travel regularly with Qatar and Emirates... Qatar and the EUA literally have similar laws regarding women's rights, and homosexuality is punishable by life emprisonment... You say that you couldn't find information regarding emprisonment of LGBT in the UAE? Just go on Wikipedia, there are several cases each year... Plus, all their staff on ground is made of migrants forced to work in almost inhumane conditions (that are regularly qualified of modern slavery by the UN's Human Rights council). I understand that you enjoy their business class product, but what is the humane cost of your comfort? 😕
Don't use wikipedia...
tupolev7 wow, it’s 2019 and some people are still media-brain-washed. Of course you don’t realise how offensive & wrong you are, but you don’t need to spread the hate and fabricated news. Governments everywhere don’t endorse human trafficking or any inhumane practices. It’s people. Especially people who take advantage from others of their own countries. My government actually saved many little girl from you know what, and workers guarantee their rights if they speak to the government but they’re scared of the people who hired them. It’s like mafia where they fear the safety of their families back home if they report their employers to the officials. I’m too tired to go on and justify what you could easily find and see for yourself if you put some effort.
emirates and qatar aren’t pocessions from the government, Saudia and Royal brunei are...
@@ansonek2343 Wikipedia is a great source.
tupolev7 dont use Wikipedia Many Mistakes!!
Believe me please study to be a smart man and you Will find Many mistakes!
Always love your vids, but snaps for all the “Easter eggs”-so much fun with the little messages I had to pause and rewind to catch! 🤣🤣👍🏼👍🏼💖 YAAAASSSSS
I flew North Korea’s Air Koryo from Beijing to Pyongyang back in 2011, that was an experience! However, my favourite airline, for both service and safety is definitely Qantas.
I don't fly with WoW because:
1. They are very uncomfterble
2. They are closed
Jón Bragi Þórisson same with Cebu pacific, they don't have IFE in their A330
@@ClarkSpotter what else do you expect from a budget airline, you get what you pay for
Miguel Paulo Salvana you must be right :) but I like Cebu pacific
They filed for bankruptcy.
Wow!
Me: Applies to be Cabin Crew for Allegiant.
Dan, one week later: DONT FLY ALLEGIANT!
Omg this was the cheekiest video you've ever done Dan! I didn't know you could swear! Love it!
Funny, a few years after posting this video you flew both Egypt Air and Saudia.
1. Great move taking time off from school
2. Even better mode giving yourself the option to go back
💪💪
I have to imagine Vueling hace updated their planes/service I always had a great time aboard. Most flights they offered free checked luggage and cabin crew were much nicer than usual low-cost. I would consider trying again !! Thanks for the video ;)
*whats up travellers*
No dan we don’t have enough money to travel, that’s why we are here
True lol
Lmfao
You Poor Peasants. I'm 19 and flying every month I flew etihad first class.
@@kav2000 sorry solid
SpongeBoy Scub: Snap!! Well done😅
As a Canadian, it's always funny to me when someone says a route in Europe is a "long way", when you can literally be in another country after driving 2 hours. Here, it takes 24 hours to change provinces 😉
Air Canada’s the best!🇨🇦✈️
@@ottawaemergencyvideography In North America for sure but in the world it isn’t even close to Middle Eastern and East Asian airlines
I can relate 😂
@@dasportsfan2122 I’m saying Air Canada’s the best airline that I’ve flown on. That’s all.🙂
@@ottawaemergencyvideography oh ok, out of curiosity which have you flown on
I LOVED this video, Dan. Great concept!!!
I am going through the same situation as you right now! Wishing you good luck on all of your future endeavors.
Oskar is gorgeous. Hope to see more of you together on videos. I took a break from college too but please do eventually finish your degree.
Is Oskar his BF or family member?
Ambient Wanderer boy friend
I've flown a lot of both budget and premium carriers but my absolute worst would have to be the Hungarian carrier "Wizz Air". Their seat pitch is so unbelievable I actually injured my knees from them being pressed so hard against the seat in front! And I'm not even tall, I'm 5”11' 😂😂
Thanks, very crisp and clear. Please keep posting more of those airplane videos, they are incredibly relaxing!
Honest as ever Dan. My Mum is Egyptian and my relatives fly over every year with EgyptAir, but even I would avoid them and probably choose BA at a much higher price.
You haven't seen cebu pacific's a330 which seats 400+ passengers, they them fly all the way to dubai which is at least 8 hours.
matty2_1 or XL Airways france which puts 427 seats on an a330-300 and then flies as far as LAX to CDG (11 hours)
I flew with Cebu Pacific from Melbourne to Manila , it was over 8 hours , honestly not bad at all , generous legroom ( even better than Singapore Airlines older 777s) ,crew was very pleasant
@@anemoiyang4362 I've flown with Cebu Pacific from Sydney and back and the legroom for me wasn't that bad (although others may have a problem). It's insane that they can fit 436 passengers in one a330.
FYI Cebu Pacific is a LCC from the Philippines and their a330s are in an all economy configuration with a total of 436 seats.
Truly surprised you didn t like Vueling, for me it s been a very positive experience and I keep recommending them (regularly took their Zurich-Paris flights). Didn t feel like a low cost carrier at all but a proper Airline....service has been remarkably nice (better than the Swiss/ Lufthansa standard), you even still get a sandwich and drinks (which you don t get on Lufthansa short haul anymore)...seating seemed standard (flew with them 30ish times btw)....Ryan Air omg, once and never ever again, 0 leg room, dirty (let alone questionable policy towards their employees or tax evasion model)
Recently I traveled Lufthansa business class. I thought it was great. The service was amazing and the seat/bed very comfortable. For food it was good on the day I was going to my holiday destination, but during my return flight, the food was a bit cold and bland, so we the food is really a hit or miss, but it was still a very enjoyable flight. I also caught some amazing views from my window! (Not my least favorite but my favorite.)
Hello Dan,
I know this is a bit late, but I don't think all Vueling flights are that delayed. When I flew from Barcelona to Sevilla and back, there was no delay at all.
This has to be one of my favorite videos of yours (not that I dislike any)! Editing on POINT! Great job as always Dan and best of luck to you! ❤️
Are you alright Flying TUI? Any advice for me..?
Hey dan have you flown middle east airlines (MEA) before? It is based in lebanon and i would like to see you review it
How can you exclude any airline for ethical reasons, and still fly Ryanair? You even go through how they treat customers, and still are willing to use them...
Dude 😂 Egyptair is a Star Alliance member. I think they are safe to fly 😂🤔
Raphael Herzog true. Basically all airlines that are allowed to fly in the EU are safe
Glad to hear this, bring down my stress level. Plan to fly with them soon
Love, love, love seeing you and Oskar together.
The biggest thing I gathered from reading about the 737 Max thing, is that I don't want to go anywhere near Lion Air. They identified the faulty sensor, their maintenance didn't fix it but said that they did. Then a flight crew encountered the MCAS issue, got through it by applying the standard runaway trim procedure, but after they landed nothing was done to fix the issue. They just kept flying the plane until it found a couple guys who couldn't deal with it. That's a crazy lack of safety culture.
Maintenance and pilot training have a much larger effect on air safety than aircraft type. Pilot requirements for hours and training can vary pretty widely by country. I'd prefer to fly with an airline that has stories like the Miracle on the Hudson, or Flight 232 in Sioux City. Preferably I'd stay away from ones where the pilots thought their ego was more powerful than the weather, or where crews are discouraged from squawking maintenance items.
I flew Vueling from BCN to BHX last year, after an hour delay we took off, then a high pitch noise started coming from the back exit door which was really uncomfortable and caused a lot of heavy turbulence, after 45 mins they turned around and we landed back in BCN, no staff anywhere to tell us what is going on we just got pushed through security again and had no idea where we were going, passengers where collapsing of dehydration, after 4 hours at BCN we finally got a replacement aircraft and got back to BHX, nobody got any compensation even though we got back 7 hours late!!
Dan you should totally fly to mauritius, it’s a beautiful place with amazing beaches and great food. If so I’d suggest air mauritius on their new a350, they’re really an improvement from air mauritius’ old a340s with an average business class and a poor economy with no charging, bad entertainment.
3 Categories
1. Start with Ryan
2. End with Air
3. A meme
Lion Air Indonesia is pretty sketchy too, would be avoiding that too if possible.
Is there any airlines from Brunei or owned by the sultan of Brunei i should avoid?
Please add lion air on your list lol. If you’re talking about comfort, which includes baggage handling, delays, narrow space, rude crews, no IFE and food, u can experience them yourself haha
Comment
these are the airlines i would avoid:
Confort : Ryan air, Air Arabia, Scoot, Spirit Airlines, Yemenia.
Political : Iran air, Mahan air, Nepal airlines, Pakistan international air.
Safety : United airlines, Ryan air, Spirit Airlines, Nepal airlines.
All : Boeing 737 MAX (all variants)
What about Air Koryo? Loool
Two of the airlines you listed in the “safety” category have never crashed, those being Ryanair and Spirit. They’re just uncomfortable. Of the two, in your way of thinking, Spirit is probably safer due to them flying Airbus. Both are safer than United.
Pretty much any airline you fly, no matter where, is going to be safer than driving, no matter what. Also, though I’d rather fly other aircraft types, I am not the kind of person to avoid the Boeing 737 MAX or -900ER on purpose. The two MAX-8 crashes were caused by bad implementation of the AOA sensors, and improper training to the pilots for a new system that used the sensors, both of which have been fixed. I’m sure Boeing’s heavily scrutinizing that plug they use for the optional exit on the -900ER and MAX-9.
Perhaps discomfort on Scoot’s 787 is due to Dan’s larger build. Scoot and Airasia are Asian airlines so perhaps the seating’s catered more to the smaller asian build. However having said that, they are airlines that currently serve non-asian routes so they do have to take non-asian builds into consideration too.
Hmm, I flew scoot from the Gold Coast to Singapore and back about a year ago on the 787, admittedly in the quite zone and I had no problems with them.
I went to seat guru and the specs were quiet zone/ey zone pitch 34-36/31 width 19-19.7 both zones.
As a comparison Singapore Airlines 787 pitch is 32 but width is only 17.5 inches. The quiet zone fare was only $35 more than the normal economy one for an 8 hr flight.
Safety wise I would never fly Korean Air and I would not fly any of the regional Indonesian carriers.
I retired after nearly 40 years as an airline pilot and my priorities whenever I fly are safety then cost/comfort depending on trip duration.
Pls go on Iran air, it’s actually a lot better than you would think, the food is also amazing
Yeah
Soo true!!
5:43 The part when I died...
I know he cusses sometimes, but he usually blurs it.
If u want to try an airline Egypt is perfectly safe the incident that happened years ago wasn't Egypt air it was some low cost airline . Just little tip if you are going to fly air Egypt please choose businesses or first class as the economy leg room is a bit uncomfortable but there the option to choose economy flex or plus to solve that problem.
If I need to fly Vueling because they have the only times that work for me, is it worth it to pay for priority boarding and upgraded seats? Thanks!
I am surprised that Air Koryo isn’t on the list, I know it’s a really interesting area, but it fits into all three of the categories of airlines you wouldn’t fly.
As a foreign resident in Brunei, RB is quite a great airline. They have great comfort and food, however it is quite a restricted airline. However, now they are becoming less restrictive and becoming more lenient.
Hi Dan and other fellow which airlines should I i book f ok Barcelona to Oslo’ pls need suggestions
Omg your so right. I took veuling from Barcelona to London and it was terrible. First off my flight was delayed and when we were in the aircraft it took over 2 hours before we could take off. The service was nice but the comfort was a nightmare. I couldn’t move my seat back and my legs were cramped with my bag underneath. And it was very hot on the aircraft the entire trip. I did go on veuling in premium economy and the was almost the same but their was just a little bit more leg room. My seat was still uncomfortable. Thank you for saying you would avoid veuling because I sure as hell won’t go through their airline again.
Another great video Dan - well done. Personally, I'd never fly TigerAir in Australia. I think they are the equivalent of Vueling - super low cost but a real case of receiving what you pay for.
dvebmb I agree they are terrible. We were re -routed from Sydney to Melbourne. They put us up in a hotel but the taxi fare was $100 as they didn’t provide transport ! We had a funeral to get to so it was a hard enough trip. The flight on the way back was delayed & the cabin crew said the plane we were on had generally a few problems that often delayed its departure
Hi Dan! Try EVA Air or Philippine Airlines. Very underrated carriers in their respective categories :)
Edit: EVA is ranked 5 so not underrated really but very much worth the try 😊
@RyanTheVloggerNGamer ohhhh. Thought it was still quite below the top 5 when it's easily top 3 imo. My bad. Edited as such. Thanks
Nino Nellas Have flown with Eva Air. They are lovely
@@hollymackenzie9923 I flew them from New York-Taipei. One of the best long haul flight experiences I've had so far
Yo I have a problem, I want to go to YEG from PDX and I dont know which airlines are best, Which do you recommend?
Excellent, informative vlog! Thx so much for sharing.
I heard Hyderabad. So. My dude.
*_You had biriyani at Paradise right?_*
Holy dead babies, Batman. He is playing the Alabama card. 🃏
@Nonstop Dan would you fly Air Koryo or a Tupolev aircraft?
Ty my dear for this info.
Ty ty ty ty ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Finally addressed the anti-LGBT policies in the Middle East, surprised only two carriers made your list for political reasons, Qatar has a horrible record of human rights violations not specifically limited to the LGBT community.
Oh you and your man (don't want to misspell his name!) are completely adorable. Please have him in more videos ❤️
I agree.
I had a great flight with vueling, schipol to Luton. Got a front row seat and it was one if the best flights of all time for me.
Iran Air recently bought a few Airbus A320 and I’ve been flying with them for about 2 years now. The Iranian pilots are very professional and I’d say they’re my favourite ones. However, I also feel a bit uncomfortable if I have to fly with the older airplanes. I think it’d be worth it to try a flight with the new airplanes :).
Spirit! BTW girl why do you keep snapping with the watches? 😂
They make you pay for everything and the air you breathe!!!!!
Hey Dan I'd love to see you review an Air New Zealand flight!
Yes auckland to shanghai would be a good one
@@chrisford1715 I would've said say Auckland - Wellington then maybe Wellington to Palmerston North on one of the ATRs then from AKL to LHR (Air NZ's longest route).
Love your videos Dan. Any chance you could do a video showing airlines you would recommend per geographical region?
I’ve watched your vids here and there and I’ve never swooped that subscribe button so fast in my entire life after seeing you are an army.
I was with the son of a very senior BA 777 captain and he said his mum bans him from flying Ryan Air due to the 'things' she's seen over the years!
More than 4000 flights a day, for more than 30 years with any crash means that they are not doing things that bad. The captain has probably discovered that you could fly a plane without having to paid a fortune
yippiee you are an ARMY too .. I purple youuu 💜
i flew Iberia express from Madrid to Paris and it was by far the most uncomfortable plane ride i have ever had. I had what felt like far more legroom on my easyjet flight the next week and pleasantly enjoyed that flight
I so agree! VUELING is so tight - it's simply unbelievable each time even if you'd been on there before already. IBERIA Express is similar... Ryan and Easy are not bad actually for a LCC
Airline I’ll never fly: Comfort - Frontier
Entertainment - Frontier
Rudeness - Frontier
Delays - Frontiers
I fly Vueling for about an 1hr 55m and I have done it for years and I am quite tall & I found it fine.
some of their planes have the newer seatings and honestly they are very spacious
Haha had a feeling Allegiant would be on this list...I flew them to New Orleans a few months ago and I was pleasantly surprised...service was great (we even scored free drinks) and seat room was totally fine. I think their safety record has improved a lot since they retired all of their md-80s, now operating all Airbus a320s. Anyways keep up the good work on your videos!
No their safety record is still awful… watch the 60 mins video on why
Brilliant, I really enjoyed this video..Very informative whilst being very entertaining..a diificult skill to master but you do it naturally..Excellent
Scoot sucks too... Oh, and I flew SCAT once, a rattling nightmare with a very visable oil leak coming out of what looked like a empty screw hole or missing rivet on the wing 😳... Never again.. Air Moldova is good service and ok free food and wine on my flight from Dublin to Istanbul via KIV but it must have been the first A320 ever built.
Please let your text comments just stay a little longer on the video, I saw something written, read two words and then the text was gone...
I rewind a few seconds but before I could even pause the screen so I could read it, boom it was gone....
What I do is, I slow down the playback speed to 0.25x and then pause in such situations...
But yeah, I feel that the lines should stay for a bit longer.
You forgot Spirit airlines 😂 Super cheap prices, but oh I try to avoid them as they charge you for everything and their seats/leg room are some of the worst.
Ryanair in worse
Wow, if I can ask, what do you do for uni? Seems really interesting!
The background looks beautiful, where (place / city) was this shot?
Egyptair on this list was a surprise for me!
You are physically and character-ly gorgeous.
How did you get to gate yet miss it with Ryanair
I flew EgyptAir 4 times (LHR-CAI-AMM and in reverse) and it was a pleasurable experience. I met the captain on the LHR-CAI leg who spoke very fluent English and he explained some of the procedures they had in the flight deck, both pilots showed confidence in their aircraft and what they were doing. The service in economy was great, friendly flight crew, full meal for the flight, and once during a really rough patch of turbulence, the captain over the P/A apologized and explained why we experienced that really rough patch and how they were handling it in the flight deck. Overall, really enjoyed EgyptAir and I would definitely fly them again and I hope you will too in a future video! :D
no champagne no choice for me
I think you should have more oskar in your videos. I like you on your own sometimes. But I really love your banter. And think you should appear together in some. Maybe when exploring destinations.. Love the video. Best wishes
Dude Egypt air is fine
Hi Dan. Love your reviews.
Now, totally off topic. Firstly, Oskar’s cameo appearance was great.
Secondly, I noticed that there is a piano in the background of your video. Do you play? The fluffy piano stool looks very comfortable.
Sadly I have had similar experiences flying with Air Canada (as a Canadian). a while ago I took the direct flight from Vancouver to Sydney Aus, and from Check-in to boarding and then service on the plane... all the staff and flight attendants acted horribly. One got cranky with me because I was already waiting first in line at check-in 3 hours before the flight. The same lady from check-in was a flight attendant for my area on the plane and she actually looked at me and groaned when she spotted me sitting there. Her and all the other staff did the absolutely bare minimum the entire 15 and a half hour flight. I don't think I got a single smile from any member of the crew at any point in the trip.
My stomach was a little upset from the minor but consistent turbulence and I would ask intermittently for Gingerale... it was like they were rationing it out to me, filling the tiny plastic cup half full, and acted like I was putting them out any time I asked for a bit more. Several times they downright refused and told me to wait for the cart. The food made hospital food look like a classy dinner and the portions were tiny, even by my small appetites standards. Not to mention the seats... It was like they slid all the seats as close together as possible to fit the maximum amount of people on the long flight, and even in my tiny female stature, I had to lift my foot over my knee to even attempt to cross my legs as my knees were already pressed against the seat in front of me (and the guy wasn't even reclined). The flight attendants would even get grumpy with people who got up to stretch and walk the aisles, as recommended on long flights. At the end of the flight before disembarking in Australia they started spraying down the cabin and everyone in it with this aerosolized product and when someone near me asked what they were breathing in, the flight attendant snippily said "Australia has rules" and wouldn't say more.
The plane was super dated looking and there was little things that were obviously where they cut corners and made the cabin look so cluttered, such as the little flap of fabric on the headrest part of the seat being so badly ironed that the edges were all creased at weird angles and the corners standing up like little wings and weren't even placed properly on the velcro so all the flaps were at weird angles on the seats... and the brochures and safety pamphlets were shoved haphazardly into the pockets in the back of the seats and many were very damaged or dirty. The plane did it's job and I got safely from point A to B but the entire trip was painfully uncomfortable and unpleasant. I made sure when I booked a flight to come home that I booked with a different airline even though it meant a lengthy connection.
I couldn't agree more. Some of these airlines shouldn't be allowed to fly at all.
I don't fit in economy at all. I'm 6'8" so I normally go business or I get a pity upgrade.
One of the first people Love your UA-cam channel so much ❤️❤️
Thank you so much Zoha❤️
It was nice to hear airlines you would not fly or dont like considering how much you fly. I had no idea allegiant was that bad...I just flew with them a few months ago and everything was fine but they do charge for everything just like spirit, so I probably wont go out of my way to fly with them again unless I had no choice.
I remember when you told me you were scared of Allegiant when I suggested it in that chatroom event, honestly I wouldn’t fly them either at this point. Great vid as always!
Dan you have not done long distance travel is an 1hr15mins is a long way in a car. But depends what you are used to. Also you and Oscar are so cute 🥰😊
Oh... you should add Spirt on your list!!! The worst.
spirits ok.....
the name Spirt says it all!
I am surprised that Air Koryo isn't on ANY list.
I can see why you wouldn't fly Pegasus, I fly with them all the time from Stansted and they have got better, on my most recent flight there was wifi available with an entertainment system on board with movies TV series and games, and this was on a 13 year old 737-800 aircraft. Also, now that they are introducing the A320 Neo, legroom is not as bad as before.
within europe I usually do ryanair from dublin (to norway it's norwegian since I can check my luggage all the way). ryanair has the benefits that they usually arrive on time or before when the flight is out of dublin or smaller airports. and they are cheap as chips..
