The cost of the fuel that was wasted flying an almost empty plane could have been used to feed the Cuban people.
What you showed shows that this is actually a very good plane. It flies, lands quietly, and takes off softly. What else do you need?
1990s standard....not the most advanced, but it is good enough, hope Russian can restore their domestic aviation.
@@hyy3657lol 1990s you say… still better then the garbage U.S. built MAX series planes. Russia actually cares about safety, Boeing finds problems in the sky. I’ll stick to 1990s tech I guess! Have a good day.
@hyy3657 well how much more modern is an A320? The design hasn't changed much since the 80s

@@hyy3657 two crashes in a row then an emergency door fell out in flight and you call it low casualty?? tell all this bullshit to relatives of those who died in these two crashes
There’s 4 in service? Compared to how many Boeings?
The Tu-204/214 is an excellent aircraft. I flew them several times in Russia. Now the serial production of these aircraft is starting again, for Russian airlines. Come to Russia in two years and you will be able to fly on the new Tu-214.
In the Russian Federation, cars are not able to do ordinary things, what a miracle they will start producing the Soviet aitcraft Tu204/206! 🙄ua-cam.com/video/KlnUYHsZeMY/v-deo.htmlsi=4NotxY5f0E0Mntqk

I flew on board a the TU-204-100E of Air Koryo. From a passenger’s point of view there are not many differences to an A321. Russian seats are more comfortable and just for the information of the author of this video you can take a big advantage of the option of reclining the seat if nobody is sitting in front of you - you can recline a seat back of the front seat 💺 and put your legs on it
Ah I see I didn’t realise you can indeed put the one in front flat that increases your space alot😁 We had a really comfortable flight and the seats were excellent. I would say it’s better than what you usually get on many Western airlines…
@@DiscoverWithTwo The seats recline forward not only for leg comfort. If you fold the seats forward, there is more space to move to the emergency exits if there is an accident.
much better than my recent experiences with low cost airlines

russian made aircrafts are not under sanctions when they are registered out of russia or belarus. i loved flying on an interflug ilyushin62 from berlin to havanna. and i love my lada.
That is correct however Cuba (including Cubana) is still under sanctions. I am not sure if that affects much the Russian aircrafts they fly. Pity these Il62 are gone…Lada are Super strong cars!

@@memovilmx6239качество это Боинг?
Amazing!
Moving the seat forward is pretty common on all Russian aircraft.
Any Idea what is the function of that? Seems like a very weird feature 😅
@DiscoverWithTwo actually I don't know why, but noticed that on YAK42 and TU134 as well
It could be done on Boeing planes in the 70’s.
@@DiscoverWithTwo In case nobody is sitting in front of you, you can push the front seat forward like this so that you can extend your legs on it and be more comfortable. All Russian airliner seats have that feature...
@@tomlee7956 Is there any safety reason why they recline that way?
5:03 take a look at wing. Airplain is 17 years old but wing looks like new and very clean without any spots. They say that this airplane do not need anti-ice processing before flight.
Nice video. Liked & Subscribed. Looking forward to more. ♥

Is probably safer than a Boeing right now?
🤣the doors were still there on landing
@@DiscoverWithTwo😂😂😂
Now Boeing company is on the pressure to be focussed on hiring personnel of LGTBI of the inclusive policies, than hiring well qualified and professional personnel; the is where a progresive government such as Biden means.
If it’s Boeing i ain’t going 😂
17 years old isn't actually much for an airliner, it's quite new by aviation standards. In fact this is a Russian version of B-757, even modernised in some aspects (for example fly-by-wire controls are implemented there). I believe the delay was caused by the way things are done in Cuba, not the aircraft itself. I know something of that as a pilot regularly flying to Cuba.
Оба самолета действительно похожи, но они были созданы в разное время.У Ту 204 более совершенная аэродинамика, у него более современный профиль крыла.
@@azekuka3478 Я лично на 204-м не летал, но на нем летал мой приятель, с которым мы были капитанами 757 в одно и то же время. По его отзывам 204-й может в чем-то и круче номинально, но в плане пользовательского опыта 757 приятнее. Лично я как в прошлом командир 757 могу сказать что этот самолет супер. Хотелось бы чтобы и 204/214 стал таким.

It looks just like any other airplane ✈️
Indeed😎
I call this airplane The “Airbus B757”
🤣
All things considered, an impressive flight considering that you were flying on an airplane manufactured in a country that has been subject to US sanctions forever and operated by a country that has been subject to even harsher US sanctions (for no good reason) for just as long! For 17 years old the cabin looked fresh and as modern as any 17-year-old Boeing or Airbus which believe me there are MANY of those flying around and even older.
For a short flight, they served a nice sandwich, dessert biscuit, Juice, and water. You will not find such a service on an American economy flight of that duration. You will be lucky to be offered a tiny bag of crisps.
You mention that Russia is not so accessible anymore. I don't know where you are located but Westerners can still easily get to Russia via Turkey or Serbia. You were able to fly to Venezuela which has been sanctioned by the US for years now as well as Cuba so Russia should not be any problem.
I agree, Cubana has a better in flight service than many Western Airlines (Also their Cabin crew was super friendly). Regarding Russia we are more afraid of travelling there and getting issues (our countries have good relationship with Cuba/Venezuela not fully with Russia At the moment), even though I would really like to visit Eastern Russia.
There are indeed many flight options still to Russia. If the situation stabilises we’ll definitely visit (again)😁
@@DiscoverWithTwo No issues for the foreigners now visiting Russia, many tourists here now but mostly from Middle East and China, a bit of Europe and US, everyone who is coming is surprised of how things go well here, many UA-cam videos about that. Just prepare cash USD or EUR, as Mastercard and Visa left the market and banned all Russian issued cards. Inside Russia every foreigner can easily open bank account within 10 min and get bank card with MIR payment system and use it instead of cash.

Is it an empty flight? So many seats available. Beautiful aircraft!
It was a normal scheduled flight but I believe only 60 seats were occupied.
😊 Oh you are so lucky to be flying such an iconic airliner!!
I'd be in ecstasy!
*the girl looks like Frida Khalo!!
Time to book a flight on it yourself😎Ive never heard a Frida Khalo comparison 😅
Flew on a Malev Hungarian Tupolev in 1972 from vienna to Budapest. A few months later they had to ground them due to about 3 crashes.
These were likely older Tupolev Models 134/154. I don’t think these still fly😁
A clever move, as it's -pointless to fly for a 220 km trip.
🤡
Man, I dream of flying on a nearly empty flight.
Im sure there are plenty outside the peak season😅
Nicely done 👍
Thank you❤️
Amazing, Cuba has planes 😮.
😂 greetings from Europe!
Offcourse they Do 😄 They used to fly to Europe (actually they still fly to Madrid but with leased airplanes). Thank you for watching❤️✈️
Meanwhile Boeing fleet is glued on the ground …
The plane looks in a very good conditions. How many Russian aircrafts have you heard they have crashed, while Boeing aircraft’s have all sort of accident in recent times.
It is in good condition, at least seats were very good✈️
Well, there have been 2 fatal crashes and 1 serious incident involving a B737. However, given the number and the use they have, it is still very, very low. Plus, if you compare to russian aircraft, the sole fire of that Sukhoi Superjet already represents what, the loss of the 0,5% of all the planes they have made since 1995?
There are lots of accidents with russian aircraft recently, especially that there are very low numbers of them flying at all. Boeing and airbus dominate the air travel by far. russia only makes low quality dangerous analogovnet planes and services them carelessly.
@@avngr3218 🤐
Only prejudiced people criticize Russian planes. Russian planes are being praised around the world. At Boeing, for example, distrust about the quality of its planes has been growing. I've been traveling by plane since I was a child, but I don't have the courage to fly on new Boeing planes.
Russia is a blessed country and great intelligent Russians.
Safer than a Boeing
Some versions have RB-211s and with the 43k thrust rating.
I think this one has Aviadvigatel engines but not sure🤔
Some 5 or 6 were made for Cairo Aviation with RB-211 engines. The rest of the planes have Aviadvigatel PS-90 engines.
Every trip with that gal next to you seems to be a delightful trip.

The Russian 757?
Interesting video. Thanks for sharing.
It feels as though you and your partner went into this journey with the intent of finding flaws - and actually you didn’t find that many … maybe try approaching life and situations with less bias and patronising attitudes?
Delays? Happen anywhere in the world, notwithstanding Cuba 🇨🇺 is literally sanctioned therefore making everything complicated and limited
The internal of the plane - looked very clean and professional.
Windowless seats - they exist on most planes when it’s over the wing - due to the construction of the plane. I’ve had a windowless seat on a Boeing airplane. It’s no big deal because I get it- it’s a structural issue 🤷🏾♂️
The seat recliner- it’s as though you had to make a joke out of it… rather than just appreciate that the seat reclines. The forward recline is probably ideal for cleaning purposes and refitting upholstery - it’s actually quite an interesting idea, worth celebrating, not ridiculing 🤷🏾♂️ (but gotta ridicule Russian engineering somehow eh? Or else how you going to get western audiences to fill up on Russia-hate)🤷🏾♂️
Overall it looks like you had a nice trip, and safe flight, thank God for that!
A good video, but filled with subtle dog whistles aimed at ridiculing Cuba and Russia - which simply reflects western biases and stereotypes of Russia and Cuba.
We travelled with Cubana before as we said and well that wasn’t the best experience neither the worst though😄 but yes we were a little apprehensive about flying Cubana again since the company does not have a good reputation. Never the less we enjoyed our flight and we believe its worth noting that and we also try to show that (Good Legroom, Friendly Crew, generally we were very happy as we told at the end also).
We are aware that many airplanes have some rows without windows (I have seen it on Ryanairs B737s) we just wanted to point that out so people who would like to fly on this Tupolev avoid choosing these rows as that info is hard to find.
The seat recline is amazing and we were just surprised how much those reclined I have never seen such a good recline in Economy 😱 neither seats that recline forward (not sure if there is a specific reason for that ?).
We have no intent to ridicule any country and we tried to show that actually we had a great experience, unlike many vloggers who find drama on every flight which we could easily have done also instead we try to show the positive experience we had.
@@DiscoverWithTwo i appreciate your response, and now I understand a bit more.
Cuba 🇨🇺 is such a unique example of a country and infrastructure due to the fact that they’ve literally been condemned to sanctions by the west (at the command of America), consequently they are not able to develop as much as they could if they have a free international trade opportunities.
It’s my perspective that everything about Cuba needs to be seen through the lens of historical context 🤷🏾♂️…
And frankly for a country that has been sanctioned for decades, you seem to have had a decent flight.
I completely understand your comments now, but I’m very conscious of the fact that we are living in times where it’s the “trend” to make digs at “anything” Russian 🇷🇺 - there will be audiences to your videos who are there waiting for “digs” and “attacks”… it’s not your fault obviously, we are simply living in some unprecedented xenophobic times! We are induced to hate and demonise other people for political reasons 🤷🏾♂️ - tragic
Anyway… all of this aside, it was a great video! And it looks like Cubana did a decent job getting you from Cuba to Venezuela!
Hope you had a great remainder of your trip and holiday! 👋😎 ciao
@@MU-ee9ro We actually try to visit these countries that are seen as the “black sheeps” by some of the western countries such as Venezuela, Cuba, Yemen, … and they all are enjoyable to visit and we try to show that they are nice to visit😍

Il 96, sorry
You are not mistaken because IL98 is a military air tanker and it is very safe😁
Nice video! I would love to fly their IL96! Do you know on what route they use this type?
Havanna - Madrid
@@udos4640you sure? When I check FR24 is has no flightdata or the only flightdata available is with a A340 from PlusUltra
Havana - Madrid is now with Plus Ultra A330/340. I don’t think Cubana has a TCO for Europe at the moment thus they wont fly there. The IL96 in the beginning of the video was recorded in Caracas the week after we arrived (flew CU312/3). It flies the same route/flights as this Tupolev unfortunately the booking system always shows TU204 so it’s really a surprise which one will actually operate the flight on the day itself. Maybe if you get insider info as Cubana does know which aircraft will fly the next week, otherwise it’s just luck😅 Best of luck I hope you manage to get on the IL96❤️
@@DiscoverWithTwo Thank you very much for the clear explanation! Sounds like a real challenge to get to fly on one😅
@GMaviation Its not hard to get to fly on either of them (TU204/IL96) just if you wanted one specifically it might be a problem😅 Goodluck!
I've only flown on Russian aircraft twice on my life. On Air Koryo in 2012. First flight was Beijing - Pyongyang. It was brand new. Pride of the fleet. The second flight was Pyongyang - Shenyang. It was old and rattled so bad I thought it was going to fail apart..

I flew with my film crew in a Tupolev 204 of Cubana de Aviacion. Our experience was much better than the horrible experience we had flying with AA American Airline. The food on this airline was rubbish and the in-flight service with rude staff was a real nightmare.

It's one of only 4. The Russian government operates a fleet of more than 10 of these aircraft for official duty. Furthermore, the plane has been brought back into serial commercial production. Russian airlines have been forced to support local aircraft manufacturers due to the sanctions.

Flying on a sanctioned Russian tupolev airplane from Cuba Venezuelan Airlines bus
2:09 It seems that American Airlines have a shuttle service between Havana and Miami.
The Tupolev 204 looks pretty much like the Boeing 757.
9:34 "No tirar papeles en el inodoro. Gracias" stands for "Please do not throw paper on the sink, thank you." Although I believe they are referring to the toilet bowl rather than to the sink?
The plane was empty. Government ruled airline and the financial loss is paid by the Cuban taxpayers.
There are alot of Miami to Havana flights. I wish the countries relationships would improve
Thank you for translating I thought It was something with throwing paper but wasn’t very sure😆

@@jorgealonzo7972 it wasn’t completely empty but not that many passengers…

Thank you☺️
In Mexico there was a low cost airline that used tupovlev aircrafts, unfortunately this airline no longer functions.
Interjet ueed sukhoi aircraft, no spares
Sanctioned by who or what? This is misleading, that aircraft is Russian made, and Russia is an ally of the Cuban dictatorship. They can buy parts and repair this type of aircraft without any hindrance.
Title makes no sense. Sanctions don't have any affect or jurisdiction on fully domestic Russian built airplanes/products. This particular Tu-204 just came back to Cuba from Russia after undergoing a thorough D check. Cubans are resourceful and highly educated people, these airplanes are well looked after. Sanctions/embargo/economic warfare (all the same) only harm citizens, not govt elite. They don't work and are just cowardly tactics of empire. I'm a first gen Cuban-American. My view and much of our family's view has changed 180 degrees on US policy towards Cuba. Venezuela is actually very safe now a days as most of the gangs, criminals and prisons have been emptied out and sent across the open US southern border. Night and day compared to 6/7 years ago.
and what about the boeing 737 max ... i think its brandnew and higher in thecnologies than tupolev but this is masterpiece ..... love to russia from morocco
These soviet planes are not the worst planes on earth! I personally like them because of rich history and ear pleasuring sounds! Crazy cockpit and beautiful design! Not many airlines use them because there are airbus and boeing on the first line! Only asia and a mini part of Europe had or has them. 😊. These planes are getting modernized with years and months. You cannot compare these planes with airbus boeing or embraer, of course. But for simple flights without luxury or silence, they are good.❤
Sorry for my english skills 😂
We found it perfectly fine (as comfortable as some Boeing or Airbus😁) Your English is fine don’t worry! Thank you for watching our video❤️
It's not Soviet. It's Russian and this airplane was in production since mid 90s... Modern as Airbus 320ceo
How much did it cost?
Around 250€ one way (definitely not the cheapest), I do think that return fares are almost the same price and thus a better value(also more chance to fly on both the IL96 and TU204)
Cubana De Aviacion return one of its Tupolev Tu-204!
How is sanctioned?They don’t fly only to Western Europe and US!
the planes fly almost empty, I would like to fly somewhere but the price of travel and tickets is very high for me, well, there are probably more people like that and that's why the planes fly empty 🙂
Our dream and purpose of this YT channel is to give away travels to our followers paid by Advertising. Let’s hope we can make that work one day😄

TU-204 is Russian answer to Boeing 757
Russian aircraft’s are the best I flew a Sukhoi Superjet in Mexico a few years ago with Mexican Airlines Interjet. I flew from Mexico City to the city of Monterrey, it was the best ride I have ever experienced.
We were also very happy with our flight. Very comfortable seats😀
Moscow here. Just days ago news came that FINALLY Aeroflot placed an order for a dozen of these.
Its a pretty good plane I think
@@DiscoverWithTwo Pretty outdated, to the point that Aeroflot had to negotiate out specifically that they reduce the engineer station. But, the funny twist of history our country is in right now, makes this small purchase a fun fact for the future.
Why in the video title do you claim that this aircraft is sanctioned? If it is owned by Cubana why should it be sanctioned and by who? Why do you claim to have been 'shocked'? I an see nothing even remotely shocking in this video. Please explain what caused you to be 'shocked'.
You may have never seen seats that could be moved forwards before but I have it used to be normal and nothing to laugh at. The lack of a window at one row is nothing particularly unusual either.
@@Ben-xe8ps It’s shockingly good, we didn’t expect such a nice plane 😎 especially because our previous flight wasn’t so good ! Cubana is sanctioned by pretty much whole west including all russian aircraft. Offcourse it is not sanctioned by Cuba itself that would be a bit weird wouldn’t it? Would also note that while Cubana is sanctioned by many countries at the same time they are an IOSA certified airline.
