Accusing a fellow content creator of a felony is no joke. I'd appreciate if you could help me to get Sam to provide the evidence he has to solve this matter. You can reach him here: instagram.com/samchui & www.youtube.com/@SamChui -Thanks!
Sue for slander and defamation, then he has no choice but to either present evidence or pay out for damage against reputation , if there is no evidence then the process should be quick all be it initially costly, having won in court he would be also liable for all legal costs + compensation. That's the best lesson to teach cos he would then think twice about making baseless accusations. Would be much better doing this than reducing to having fans do a kind of go between , don't lower yourself to his level of pettiness.
I've flown on a flight with Sam Chui (on an aircraft inaugural). The crew was very annoyed with him and the airline had a "handler" on board to make them be nice to him. We already were late departing and he kept standing up so he could stand in the galley and film them closing the door and all that. Crew trying to shoo him back to his seat. He kept getting up during the service and walking into coach trying to pass the carts. And yes, I have proof. I took photos of him from my seat (where I was, with my seat belt fastened when the seat belt sign was on).
My friend is a purser with a big airline (won't name it here) and he said female crew is extremely uncomfortable around him as he act's like an absolute predator. One of them approached HR about him but was asked not to make it public since they were afraid of a bad review.
Had interacted with Sam during my time in Qatar Airways, one of the worst passengers, considering himself as his everything, self obsessed, thinks that airlines are just waiting for him and they owe him big time. Worst person ever interacted with.
One thing that did stand out in the whole vistara fiasco is vistara never made an attempt to ban you off the airline so that thank you card on the last flight is kinda special.
That receptionist at the lounge seems like such a sweet person. I gotta say, I'm glad I never really followed along with Sam's content, instead stumbling across yours and Noel's channels. Such better content creators and true aviation fans.
I first heard the negative reputation about Sam when I was watching Trek Trendy back and Will would refer to him as “Scam Chui” which I always thought was hilarious. After watching many other aviation UA-camrs since then hearing about Sam, it’s really unfortunate how people can do a lot of false advertising and aren’t honest about their experience. Those accusations he made against you Josh are unacceptable. Love always the brutally honest reviews and keeping the airlines in check. Great work
Honestly trek trendy is honest version of sam chui.. both always fil 1st class/business class products and never economy. Trek is still good he says when food is bad or service lacks but sam he just glazes everything
I heard many stories of Sam Chui. At some airport, I think it was Bali, there was an opportunity for spotters or visitors to like visit the ground (?). I can’t remember the details that well anymore. Anyways, there was a plane at the ramp ready for pushback. For filming, Sam walked without any allowance behind the plane and prevented the crew from leaving the ramp. End of the story was that those ground visits were discontinued because of him. He ruined the experience and fun which so many others could have had. Another time he apparently was invited onto Schiphol Ground to join some driver who gave him a tour. A few hours in, that driver had to leave because of some private emergency. Instead of thanking him, Sam instead said something like „that‘s it? I still don’t have all the shots I want“ It was some time ago, when I heard of those stories. Maybe someone else can confirm or correct those?
Friend of mine met sam chui at RIAT Air show and said he was nothing like he comes across on camera and said he was horrible demanding entitled and rude AF
He's 100% fake. He's paid by airlines to do good reviews and they do reshoots if something isn't absolutely perfect. Airlines get to review the final footage before release to ensure its what their PR teams paid for.
Yeah, they create completely different types of content. While Josh creates reviews, Sam creates "insider access" type of videos, both are a great watch and I understand why someone might not like one another but hate is just unnecessary when we are all just avgeeks and we should appreciate that there are wide variety of content creators for aviation. It would also be very boring to only see flight reviews and nothing else like seeing how cargo airlines operate etc.
I have heard so many stories about Sam treating others like servants and it doesn't surprise me that he acts this way. Accusing someone of a crime this scale is a crime itself. If he makes such a huge claim he should provide some proof too but it seems like he doesn't have anything. I think people are scared and intimidate by Sam and I'm glad finally someone calls out his bluff. The ball is in Sam's court, he either delivers or publishes a public apology... everything else is unacceptable. Thanks for not being afraid!
It was really nice for the lounge receptionist to give you a warm welcome. Josh, enjoy your celebrity status, as you deserve it. You are the best avgeek on social media. We love your humble and honest attitude.
Hi Josh, I am a big AV geek myself (I love to travel) and am a subscriber to you and Sam Chui (along with others like Noel Philips, Jeb Brooks, Non Stop Dan, and Dennis Bunnik). I really appreciate all the videos that each and one of you do. If it wasn't for you guys, I would never know what to expect of each airline before I get on the plane (food, seat configuration, lounge access, etc...). Having said all this, I really believe there is a misunderstanding between you and Sam. When you mentioned that Sam was getting paid for his videos, I really believed that because his videos did seem like it was more for the airline's PR. After watching Sam's video and seeing his response, I now understand the perspective he's trying to provide in his videos (it's not really to review the airline but to showcase the airline's behind the scenes and how it all works). I was also shocked to see the comment he made regarding you blackmailing Vistara but it looks like he posted that due to anger and has now apologized for doing so. I believe the two of you present your viewers with different perspectives and they are both great in each of their own ways. For you: it's to review the airline presenting your honest review of the good/bad. The airlines do not know you're coming in to do reviews on them. For Sam: it's showcasing the airline (with the airline inviting him to do so). This also means the airline will show the best they have to offer so the viewers wont be able to see the negatives about the airline (it's not a review). I hope the two of you can meet someday and work things out. I love both of your channels and truly hope I can continue to see content from both for many years to come. Thank you Josh for all that you've done and keep up the great work!
this, Sam has never said he is an airline "reviewer". These two create completely different content and there should be room for both of them. While Josh and many others make reviews, Sam makes more like "insider access"/ "showcase" content. Both types of content are completely fine and I understand why some might not like Sam's content for that reason but it doesn't mean anyone needs to hate him for that. For creating content on aviation which is a passion for most of us here I'd imagine. Why argue and not just watch the content you like and that's it. Again, Sam has never claimed to be a "reviewer" instead he has actually mentioned multiple times that he doesn't want anyone to think he is a reviewer. He is just a huge avgeek like many of us.
Sam chui is one of the most overrated UA-camrs. A long time ago I tried watching one of his videos and I clicked off after 1 minutes. He is very boring. No personality whatsoever.
@@colinashby3775 just becuase bro has money dosent mean his boring the real boring one is josh he does everything in his power to shame and destroy airlines while sam is the oppsite
I watched a few seconds of one of Sam's videos and you can immediately tell it's fake, he's fake. He's way extra, which makes it hard to watch and I haven't since..
I met Sam on a Singapore airlines flight (I was following him as this was before he changed from honest to money), I flew in first class for a business trip. During the flight he was surprisingly nice for most of the time, however he did end up getting way more stuff than the rest of us. I think someone on board must've recognized him, because he ended up getting invited into the galley even without asking. Ps your videos are great, Sam used to be great in his air koryo days, but now he's a billboard ad.
since when does somebody needs an invitation for the galley. i am very confused. that the spot i spend most my time on international flights. on the other hand i only fly in europe and mostly to asia with either lot, lh group, air france, klm, japan air or ana. klm is the most consistent of the bunch, while japan air is probably the best and ana is overrated (or at least they enough my with always weighing my carry on luggage and wanting it to check in). if i am honest, lufthansa is actually quite good and probably better than there reputation. most of the time the crew is almost the best, but the hard product is just bad. honestly i think, if lufthansa would ably the same concept in management than japan air does it would be one of the best airlines in the world.
I enjoyed Sam’s old videos that were just footage with text on the bottom of the screen. Sam never talked or showed much of himself in his old videos from 10+ years ago. Back then, he was pretty much THE guy for unusual airlines. Things have changed a lot since then of course.
Of course they "recognized" him. every one of his videos is meticulously planned weeks in advance. From the seat he gets to the specific staff on that flight that will interact with him on camera. it's 100% staged and he's paid quite a lot of money by the airlines for "good reviews".
The same thing applies to Qantas here in Australia Josh , they have been leaning heavily on their former glory and letting the company go downhill under the management of an incompetent CEO.
Sam chui used to make great videos, i mean soviet planes air koryo but there was a clear turn when he was getting paid when all the airlines, even the shitty low cost ones sounded better than singapore airlines. Thankfully we have reviewers like Josh Cahill. I also stopped watching Sam because he just wouldnt say thank you, thinking he was spoiled, another sign that he was being paid.
Id love to see a video of how Sam Choi benefited from your ban and how he assaulted the crew in your trip to Kazakhstan. I watch his video for entertaining overview of an airline…..never for an insightful critical review.
Josh, you and Noel are the best and my beloved avgigs. Dont pay any notice to anyone and anything, Just keep moving up and forwrd like you do all these years. In Josh we trust!!!! Love from Greece! Reactions like those from Chui, just show panic.
I've had guys like SC in my profession. They are gladly only 5% of the bunch, and they persist in trying to score points, discredit, slander and basically bully and bluster their way through other peoples' lives. Keep up the great work Josh.
@@ED-209UHDme too!! He might try to approach you like he does to those poor flight attendants. He seems very creepy. I’d immediately leave the plane 😂😂
Stay true to yourself Josh! For us ordinary people/passengers, you are a source of independent and reliable information. Chui is into marketing business in disguise, but it's his choice. You are in an entirely different league.
Josh, you’re truly a kind and down-to-earth person. Unlike others like Sam Chui, who sometimes comes across as arrogant and self-important, you bring humility and warmth to every video. Thank you for being so authentic and for sharing your experiences with us. It’s refreshing to see someone so genuine in this space.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
All of Sam Chui's content is bad anyways. I really don't understand why people and airlines support him, this guy is like Unbox Therapy for airlines but somehow worst.
Most of his followers are Asians who dream of being as smugly entitled as he is. Asia is a big market, and he has a large number of followers there. The way he looks at aviation is the same... for example, every Asian, after being served wine, will ask "is it French wine?", because I guess they think that grapes only grow in France. When Sam is served wine, he always asks that question.
Hi Josh, I started following Sam Chui a few years ago, only watched 4 maybe 5 reviews and I saw right thru him, I worked in Aviation for 20 years and what he was saying just did not makes sense, he was just in it for himself and trying to basically say look at me, and not to mention that smirk of his :):):) made me sick actually, Josh remember when people come after you it is because they are threatened, keep up the great work, BTW have not flown Qatar since they banned you, been to Europe quite a number of times since and flown other airlines, which are better to be fair, keep up the great content and do not worry about what others say or think
How hard is it to understand that not every kind of content of airlines is a review. Sam's videos are and have always been more "showcase" styled and he has said it himself multiple times. Hate is just unnecessary as we all share the same passion for aviation.
@@tompsu9536 Hi, it is not hard to understand, but at the end of the day if I want a showcase I will go and see a show But rather argue back and forth, we all have our opinion's
Josh you are far superior period. You are straightforward and blunt, and I like the criticism you give which if any airline is truly paying attention should be listening to you. As far as Sam is concerned, no interest watching his videos after one review. It was clear that he is being bankrolled by the airline carriers. You and Noel Philips are true aviation enthusiasts, and it shows. Keep on flying and reporting to us. I take your comments and observations very seriously.
If you can find a way to bring Sam to court for defamation id happily donate to support legal fees. Force this corporate shill to bring his evidence to discovery I'm sick of him Also the fact his comment section on ig looks completely clean has me thinking hes probably got his team deleting comments
I had been following Sam for some time and I used to enjoy his videos but now to me he is a sell out and his reviews are far from honest and he is only in it for himself, never mind the fact he is very pretentious these days, at least I can rely on you Josh, you have something Sam does not and that is integrity!
Being honest and transparent is the only contract between you and your followers, any games or monkey business will be discovered by any smart fan, loosing credibility is the end of any travel channel, keep going man.
Josh, I appreciate your critical Vistara reviews because you stood up for the crew. Having some tea between the two biggest aviation content creators makes your videos more interesting too. I am #TeamJosh all the way!
Your content is much better and gives honest reviews. Sam Chui is just acting when the camera is on. The countless testimonials of people sharing their experiences (with proof) says alot about Sam Chui. When he turned down your request for an on camera interview to provide proof of his aqusations just prooves it's all hot air coming from him.
Josh, they do say that the pen is mightier than the sword. However, I believe what is not said is probably more powerful and speaks louder than what is said in this instance. The whole aviation community watches the likes of yourself, Sam, Noel and Dan. The videos and reviews speak for themselves. Everybody can see with their own eyes what Sam Chui is all about. As far as airline reviews go, Sam isn't in the same league as you guys. The strength in his channel is getting access to areas that many don't or can't. But he needs to realise that's the only tangible thing his channel achieves. Nobody takes his 'reviews' seriously, because they have effectively been bought. Leave him to crack on in his little corporately corrupted fantasy world and just keep doing what you do best, which is why the aviation community gives you stratospherically more credibility, and is the reason we all love what you do mate. Rise above it brother, and keep doing what you are doing. Leave Sam to continue being a shill, you are better than that. He'll soon get bored and run back to his caviar and private jets.
Sam has said many times that his videos aren't reviews and more of aviation experiences and insider access type of content. Really don't understand how is it that hard to understand. Hate in general is just stupid as after all we all share the same passion for aviation and should appreciate that there are different kinds of content on it. How boring would it be to see only same kind of content from everyone. Of course someone is allowed to dislike but hate is unnecessary. Like Sam has done incredible videos showcasing the operations of cargo airlines for example which is not what we've seen too much from anyone else.
As a regular flyer, I was interested in Sam Chui's videos when I first found them a few years ago, but his experiences were certainly different to mine. Every flight seemed to be perfect and it was like he was flying on his own unicorn complete with rainbows and glitter with how good they were. While I have my favourites like Etihad because of the relationship I had with them, but even with a favourite airline there were flights that werent as good, staff who werent up to their usual standards or where things just went awry. When I was asked about my experiences with Etihad by friends I would give them the good and the bad and more importantly what the airline did when things went badly. An honest review will do that, and most of your viewers who have posted other content providers they respect, all do the same. I don't see that in Sam Chui's reviews which is why I quickly gave up on watching any of his content as it was clearly an advertising campaign from him on behalf of the airline he reviewed. From your end, you have done everything you can. You have called him out publicly, challenged him to produce evidence of the allegations he has made against you and asked him to go on camera with you to discuss these allegations. If he had the proof he would either show it, or take legal action against you and produce it in court, but where he hasn't done that, I expect that it isn't there. I love your work, and look forward to your next adventures and from one subscriber to you, can I suggest you take the attitude of "Sam Who?"
Dude!!!! Just found your Chanel like some days ago and I LOVE your Chanel!!!! Because it’s honest, controversial 😆 and NO airline paid propaganda!!! Dude keep up the good work, keep those videos comin! All the best 👍🏼👍🏼
Dear Josh and Sam, I hope you're both doing well. I’ve been following your channels for a while, and I truly appreciate the hard work and creativity you both put into your content. You each have a unique voice and bring something valuable to your audience. I understand there’s been some tension recently, and it’s really unfortunate to see both of you caught up in this kind of back-and-forth. The online space can be full of misunderstandings, and sometimes things can spiral out of control, but I truly believe that both of you are far more powerful when you focus on the positive impact you can have through your content. Rather than getting entangled in arguments or responding to fake news, I encourage you both to redirect your energy toward what you do best: creating great content that inspires, educates, and entertains your audiences. Your viewers look up to you, and I’m sure they would much rather see you focusing on your craft and collaborating on meaningful discussions, rather than getting bogged down in unnecessary drama. Let’s remember why you started creating contents in the first place - to share your passions and connect with others. I hope you can find a way to move past this and refocus on the positive, constructive work that makes you both unique and valuable to the community. Wishing you both continued success and creativity. Keep doing what you do best! From an unconditional follower, Christian.
I used to watch Sam Chui but when i realized that each aurline was 5 star for him i stopped watching literally because i flew some of them and it was not the experience i saw in the videos. Noel and Josh it is always and it will stay that way. Cheers Josh!
Josh Cahill you do a great job on providing insight of Airlines product for Passengers and your view are valuable to us ,so dont worry about the likes of Sam Chui or anyone else opinion about you, if people didnt like your videos they wouldn't watch you but you have 730,000 people subscribed so you are doing something right, so keep up the good work.
Hang in their, Josh. It's pretty evident that Sam is on this journey for his own financial gain, and not as an AV geek. You're a fave of us, along with Noel so just concentrate of what you do and the rest will fall away behind you. Coming from Australia.
Kenyan Guy here living in Brazil..I always love watching your content..Very real and enjoyable..yoir content speaks the truth .haters Will always be there ..Just ignore them😊 Ive watched chui's content but naah..🤜🏿👎🏿
@JoshCahill I’m an airline employee for one of the big 3 US airlines. I really enjoy your videos and how you tell the truth are not a poster boy for the airline. Please keep calling out the airline business to improve. One suggestion is to make a video of all the deceitful and untruthful comments on the @SamChui channel. I recently seen a misleading video post from him on FB on airline employee flight benefits. He gives people false information that anyone can fly in a premium cabin from the US to Asia for only $500 if they can get this “magical pass” from an airline employee. He needs to be called out for the misinformation and lies! Thanks again for all you do!
The first time I saw that guy something in my spirit didn’t click with him Josh it’s pure jealousy because you keep it real and you expose them We will stand with you that’s serious and I don’t think you are annoying ❤
Josh i watched you since the start.. you are the most direct out of all and genuine! You damaged this sky divas ego .. so you must be doing something right 👍🏻 😂
Josh, many folks can be critical towards insignificant aspects of your videos, opinions or your personality, but one thing you have oooozing out of every pore is INTEGRITY. True credit only goes to the man intelligent and honourable enough to know that when integrity gets sold for greed, their soul goes along with it. Keep it real bruz ✌🏼🇦🇺 💪🏼
for making a poor choice of comment in frustration that is no longer even on the internet anymore. A snake? Wouldn't want to take a fry iof your plate... probably end a relationship[ over it or make a police report about 'the incident'. 🤣
Wir lieben dich Josh, te queremos and we support you! Your reviews are so cool: honest, upfront, real and more importantly you are NOT an ass kisser and I admire that kind of people, so please keep being you! Hugs from an Ecuadorian in Ohio
I think Sam Chui has cleared the air on this issue with the video he made on this topic , I believe him but what matters is that both Josh and Sam would reconcile their differences so taking sides among viewers doesn’t even make sense , I love both their contents , the beauty of UA-cam is you have a genre of different forms doing the same thing , their content is different and I think I speak as a genuine av geek I love them both
To put into aviation terms you are Emirates first class and Mr. chui is spirit ecomony👍. You have an ability to connect with your viewers and want your experience to be like a normal person. You don't need the red carpet like him. You're awesome Josh. Never stop being who you are!!!
TO BE VERY HONEST I ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS AS YOU MOSTLY OPENING OR EXPLAINING ALL ASIAN,AFRICAN,MIDDLE EASTERN FLIGHT CARRIERS....😀 BUT MY INTEREST IS TO KNOW HOW YOU AVAIL SO MUCH OF YOUR TRAVEL BY BUSINESS CLASSES.........🤔...YOU RICH MAN....RICH.... LOVE FROM Bangladesh...😉
That is an interesting question. But it is impolite to ask someone what their salary is and what perks they get. Josh is obviously not afraid to tell what he feels is the truth and got banned from an important airline for doing so. Therefore we respect what he has to say.
Hi Josh, I just have seen the new video of Sam and after his apologies he made it would be good that you and Sam sit together and speak out the issues. You sre working in a total different spectrum so I will follow both of your new videos. Keep up the good work Josh!
Sam Chui has held no interest to me since I read so many other people saying that he only travels with airlines who pay him for his content. Unlike you, Josh, he is in it for what he can get out of it. I prefer your vlogs every time over SC and will remain a dedicated follower of your channel.
I got into these kind of video's with video's of Sam in his early days but it got boring with the continuous over glorification. Now .... I only watch yours and Noels videos. Great content, josh (and Noel) keep it up!!
I've always said that Sam looks like the small mailman from Up, Russel. Maybe he should just fly on houses tethered to a bunch of helium balloons instead and help Mr Fredricksen reach his destination
Don't lower yourself to his level. You are class and a man of principals. Keep up the great work. We love you. I am Iraqi and your latest review of Iraqi airways was daming but honest, and I loved it because it might actually make an impact to see change in my national airlines. Thank you.
Accusing a fellow content creator of a felony is no joke. I'd appreciate if you could help me to get Sam to provide the evidence he has to solve this matter. You can reach him here: instagram.com/samchui & www.youtube.com/@SamChui -Thanks!
When you fly with cyprus airways?
I put a message on Sam's UA-cam site asking when he was going to man up for a joint video with you. I guess that I won't hold my breath!
I doubt he's gonna care because you know how he's like, but i'll do my part to help since you didn't deserve this.
You could do better, you could sue him - exactly what he should deserve for his allegations
Sue for slander and defamation, then he has no choice but to either present evidence or pay out for damage against reputation , if there is no evidence then the process should be quick all be it initially costly, having won in court he would be also liable for all legal costs + compensation. That's the best lesson to teach cos he would then think twice about making baseless accusations. Would be much better doing this than reducing to having fans do a kind of go between , don't lower yourself to his level of pettiness.

When it comes to trip reports, Josh, Noel, Nonstop Dan, The Layover Aviation and Simply Aviation all the way >>>
So true, Sam chui is a fraud lol, he is just trying to make money in every way and doing anything for his personal gain!
Also I would recommend 2 more channels (highly underrated) Flight Formula and Gabe Leigh. Both are amazing channels!
I also recommend The Flip Flop Traveller.
@@Skeleton_100 Flight Formula is great and I agree he is highly underrated, but I think that is because he has less videos.
@ yeah, true.
I heard many stories of Sam Chui.
At some airport, I think it was Bali, there was an opportunity for spotters or visitors to like visit the ground (?). I can’t remember the details that well anymore. Anyways, there was a plane at the ramp ready for pushback. For filming, Sam walked without any allowance behind the plane and prevented the crew from leaving the ramp.
End of the story was that those ground visits were discontinued because of him. He ruined the experience and fun which so many others could have had.
Another time he apparently was invited onto Schiphol Ground to join some driver who gave him a tour. A few hours in, that driver had to leave because of some private emergency. Instead of thanking him, Sam instead said something like „that‘s it? I still don’t have all the shots I want“
It was some time ago, when I heard of those stories. Maybe someone else can confirm or correct those?
Friend of mine met sam chui at RIAT Air show and said he was nothing like he comes across on camera and said he was horrible demanding entitled and rude AF
That’s how he comes across on camera
He's 100% fake. He's paid by airlines to do good reviews and they do reshoots if something isn't absolutely perfect. Airlines get to review the final footage before release to ensure its what their PR teams paid for.

Josh, your reviews are truthful and on point. Chui is a "fake" reviewer and we can all see it. Any airline that uses him is discrediting themselves.
It was really nice for the lounge receptionist to give you a warm welcome. Josh, enjoy your celebrity status, as you deserve it. You are the best avgeek on social media. We love your humble and honest attitude.
Hi Josh, I am a big AV geek myself (I love to travel) and am a subscriber to you and Sam Chui (along with others like Noel Philips, Jeb Brooks, Non Stop Dan, and Dennis Bunnik). I really appreciate all the videos that each and one of you do. If it wasn't for you guys, I would never know what to expect of each airline before I get on the plane (food, seat configuration, lounge access, etc...).
Having said all this, I really believe there is a misunderstanding between you and Sam. When you mentioned that Sam was getting paid for his videos, I really believed that because his videos did seem like it was more for the airline's PR. After watching Sam's video and seeing his response, I now understand the perspective he's trying to provide in his videos (it's not really to review the airline but to showcase the airline's behind the scenes and how it all works). I was also shocked to see the comment he made regarding you blackmailing Vistara but it looks like he posted that due to anger and has now apologized for doing so. I believe the two of you present your viewers with different perspectives and they are both great in each of their own ways.
For you: it's to review the airline presenting your honest review of the good/bad. The airlines do not know you're coming in to do reviews on them.
For Sam: it's showcasing the airline (with the airline inviting him to do so). This also means the airline will show the best they have to offer so the viewers wont be able to see the negatives about the airline (it's not a review).
I hope the two of you can meet someday and work things out. I love both of your channels and truly hope I can continue to see content from both for many years to come.
Thank you Josh for all that you've done and keep up the great work!
this, Sam has never said he is an airline "reviewer". These two create completely different content and there should be room for both of them. While Josh and many others make reviews, Sam makes more like "insider access"/ "showcase" content. Both types of content are completely fine and I understand why some might not like Sam's content for that reason but it doesn't mean anyone needs to hate him for that. For creating content on aviation which is a passion for most of us here I'd imagine. Why argue and not just watch the content you like and that's it. Again, Sam has never claimed to be a "reviewer" instead he has actually mentioned multiple times that he doesn't want anyone to think he is a reviewer. He is just a huge avgeek like many of us.
Well said
This is essentially the comment I was going to make so you’ve saved me a job 😂
Word.
Sam talk more on the Aviation industry and not into fibding pin needle flaws in airlibes.
Sam chui is one of the most overrated UA-camrs. A long time ago I tried watching one of his videos and I clicked off after 1 minutes. He is very boring. No personality whatsoever.
Thinks because he has money.
Sam Chui's videos were genuinely good a while back, but now he is essentially just a giant advertisement and propagandist about airlines.
He is extremely overrated at 3.59m subs like who is subbing to this zero personality guy
@@colinashby3775 just becuase bro has money dosent mean his boring the real boring one is josh he does everything in his power to shame and destroy airlines while sam is the oppsite

I watched a few seconds of one of Sam's videos and you can immediately tell it's fake, he's fake. He's way extra, which makes it hard to watch and I haven't since..
Shill
I met Sam on a Singapore airlines flight (I was following him as this was before he changed from honest to money), I flew in first class for a business trip. During the flight he was surprisingly nice for most of the time, however he did end up getting way more stuff than the rest of us. I think someone on board must've recognized him, because he ended up getting invited into the galley even without asking. Ps your videos are great, Sam used to be great in his air koryo days, but now he's a billboard ad.
since when does somebody needs an invitation for the galley. i am very confused. that the spot i spend most my time on international flights. on the other hand i only fly in europe and mostly to asia with either lot, lh group, air france, klm, japan air or ana. klm is the most consistent of the bunch, while japan air is probably the best and ana is overrated (or at least they enough my with always weighing my carry on luggage and wanting it to check in). if i am honest, lufthansa is actually quite good and probably better than there reputation. most of the time the crew is almost the best, but the hard product is just bad.
honestly i think, if lufthansa would ably the same concept in management than japan air does it would be one of the best airlines in the world.
I enjoyed Sam’s old videos that were just footage with text on the bottom of the screen. Sam never talked or showed much of himself in his old videos from 10+ years ago. Back then, he was pretty much THE guy for unusual airlines. Things have changed a lot since then of course.
Of course they "recognized" him. every one of his videos is meticulously planned weeks in advance. From the seat he gets to the specific staff on that flight that will interact with him on camera. it's 100% staged and he's paid quite a lot of money by the airlines for "good reviews".
The same thing applies to Qantas here in Australia Josh , they have been leaning heavily on their former glory and letting the company go downhill under the management of an incompetent CEO.
Sam chui used to make great videos, i mean soviet planes air koryo but there was a clear turn when he was getting paid when all the airlines, even the shitty low cost ones sounded better than singapore airlines. Thankfully we have reviewers like Josh Cahill. I also stopped watching Sam because he just wouldnt say thank you, thinking he was spoiled, another sign that he was being paid.
Yes airline spin doctors and marketing department types ❤ him and it shows in his over glossy over edited videos.
He never made any good videos bro
Singapore airlines fell off like same chui
@@delta_cosmic his older ones were good ngl, like flying the 707 and flying air koryo
I love how almost everyone here loves noel, josh, dan, layover aviation and simply aviation. Shows the unity aviation brings about
Dan no he’s a whiney complainer

@@budapestflyer99 that's why he like to talk shit
You can't really do that if both sides are spreading misinformation.
Id love to see a video of how Sam Choi benefited from your ban and how he assaulted the crew in your trip to Kazakhstan. I watch his video for entertaining overview of an airline…..never for an insightful critical review.
Josh, you and Noel are the best and my beloved avgigs. Dont pay any notice to anyone and anything, Just keep moving up and forwrd like you do all these years. In Josh we trust!!!! Love from Greece! Reactions like those from Chui, just show panic.

I like The Flip flop traveler too, hè is fun 🎉
Simply aviation too
I also like Nonstop Dan!
All the above + Dennis Bunnik.
I make reviews too 😅
I've had guys like SC in my profession. They are gladly only 5% of the bunch, and they persist in trying to score points, discredit, slander and basically bully and bluster their way through other peoples' lives. Keep up the great work Josh.
Team Josh and Noel all day!! Josh if I were you I’d highly consider getting a lawyer and suing him for defamation.
I avoid Sam Chui like the plague…
Many people should follow suit!

@@FastGuy1 Bro just say you are envious of Sam, if it wasn't for him no one would document like him if people had the mentality like yours.
Stay true to yourself Josh! For us ordinary people/passengers, you are a source of independent and reliable information. Chui is into marketing business in disguise, but it's his choice. You are in an entirely different league.
I only watch josh and noel. Sam chui not needed
Me too
SANspotter is also good. Flight Formula as well. But Sam has some off feelings.
The problem with suing, in this case, is that an international lawsuit is incredibly expensive.
Flight formula!

Josh and Noel are my two favorites! Adventurous and truthful reviews always!

@@Rayking1190Happy 11th Birthday
Josh, you’re truly a kind and down-to-earth person. Unlike others like Sam Chui, who sometimes comes across as arrogant and self-important, you bring humility and warmth to every video. Thank you for being so authentic and for sharing your experiences with us. It’s refreshing to see someone so genuine in this space.🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Josh always keeps it real and gives a real point of view for those who can only afford economy seats.
All of Sam Chui's content is bad anyways. I really don't understand why people and airlines support him, this guy is like Unbox Therapy for airlines but somehow worst.
Because he loves to sugarcoat the unpalatable to satisfy the incorrigible.
Most of his followers are Asians who dream of being as smugly entitled as he is. Asia is a big market, and he has a large number of followers there. The way he looks at aviation is the same... for example, every Asian, after being served wine, will ask "is it French wine?", because I guess they think that grapes only grow in France. When Sam is served wine, he always asks that question.
I can tell you why airlines support him:
Views. Simple as that
you are a honest person keep up the good work Josh.
I never liked Sam Chui. That smile is creepy. So slimy! He deserves to be sued by you. He dares talk about HIS defamation!
In one of his Eva Air videos, there’s a long bit where he was eating. That was soooo cringe…
he's smile isn't creepy
@@euloge996 that's your opinion. For me it is.
Hi Josh, I started following Sam Chui a few years ago, only watched 4 maybe 5 reviews and I saw right thru him, I worked in Aviation for 20 years and what he was saying just did not makes sense, he was just in it for himself and trying to basically say look at me, and not to mention that smirk of his :):):) made me sick actually, Josh remember when people come after you it is because they are threatened, keep up the great work, BTW have not flown Qatar since they banned you, been to Europe quite a number of times since and flown other airlines, which are better to be fair, keep up the great content and do not worry about what others say or think
How hard is it to understand that not every kind of content of airlines is a review. Sam's videos are and have always been more "showcase" styled and he has said it himself multiple times. Hate is just unnecessary as we all share the same passion for aviation.
@@tompsu9536 Hi, it is not hard to understand, but at the end of the day if I want a showcase I will go and see a show
But rather argue back and forth, we all have our opinion's
Josh, you and Noel are the best avgeeks. 😍 🙌 It's time to make a flight together 😅
And don’t forget Paul Lucas
Josh you are far superior period. You are straightforward and blunt, and I like the criticism you give which if any airline is truly paying attention should be listening to you. As far as Sam is concerned, no interest watching his videos after one review. It was clear that he is being bankrolled by the airline carriers. You and Noel Philips are true aviation enthusiasts, and it shows. Keep on flying and reporting to us. I take your comments and observations very seriously.
Is Sam on the Diddy's list 😮
He would have like an invite to one of Diddy’s freak off’s😌
Diddy gotta be so overdosed to make this decision.
@jimmyzhu8108 u r mean but apparently he got strong stuffs lol
You have my full support for your honest reviews. So much respect, bro!
If you can find a way to bring Sam to court for defamation id happily donate to support legal fees. Force this corporate shill to bring his evidence to discovery I'm sick of him
Also the fact his comment section on ig looks completely clean has me thinking hes probably got his team deleting comments
@@JadeSm96 il donate too.
gofundme time?
Me too
This is way I have stopped and unscripted to Sam. Josh you are not the only person he's trolled. Mate we love you and your honest. From 🇦🇺
Accusing someone of a felony is not trolling, it's far worse.
I had been following Sam for some time and I used to enjoy his videos but now to me he is a sell out and his reviews are far from honest and he is only in it for himself, never mind the fact he is very pretentious these days, at least I can rely on you Josh, you have something Sam does not and that is integrity!
Bleib sauber Josh und weiter durchziehen !!!
If the day in court comes i wont be surprised.
Being honest and transparent is the only contract between you and your followers, any games or monkey business will be discovered by any smart fan, loosing credibility is the end of any travel channel, keep going man.
Josh and Noel all the way ❤ I think SC is above his station and very arrogant
Josh, I appreciate your critical Vistara reviews because you stood up for the crew. Having some tea between the two biggest aviation content creators makes your videos more interesting too. I am #TeamJosh all the way!
Your content is much better and gives honest reviews. Sam Chui is just acting when the camera is on. The countless testimonials of people sharing their experiences (with proof) says alot about Sam Chui. When he turned down your request for an on camera interview to provide proof of his aqusations just prooves it's all hot air coming from him.
File a lawsuit against that guy. Perhaps he needs a lesson where it hurts $$$. Josh, keep up the great work, mate. 💪
Can't we all just get along in the Friendly Skies?
Josh, they do say that the pen is mightier than the sword. However, I believe what is not said is probably more powerful and speaks louder than what is said in this instance. The whole aviation community watches the likes of yourself, Sam, Noel and Dan. The videos and reviews speak for themselves. Everybody can see with their own eyes what Sam Chui is all about. As far as airline reviews go, Sam isn't in the same league as you guys. The strength in his channel is getting access to areas that many don't or can't. But he needs to realise that's the only tangible thing his channel achieves. Nobody takes his 'reviews' seriously, because they have effectively been bought. Leave him to crack on in his little corporately corrupted fantasy world and just keep doing what you do best, which is why the aviation community gives you stratospherically more credibility, and is the reason we all love what you do mate. Rise above it brother, and keep doing what you are doing. Leave Sam to continue being a shill, you are better than that. He'll soon get bored and run back to his caviar and private jets.
Sam has said many times that his videos aren't reviews and more of aviation experiences and insider access type of content. Really don't understand how is it that hard to understand. Hate in general is just stupid as after all we all share the same passion for aviation and should appreciate that there are different kinds of content on it. How boring would it be to see only same kind of content from everyone. Of course someone is allowed to dislike but hate is unnecessary. Like Sam has done incredible videos showcasing the operations of cargo airlines for example which is not what we've seen too much from anyone else.
As a regular flyer, I was interested in Sam Chui's videos when I first found them a few years ago, but his experiences were certainly different to mine. Every flight seemed to be perfect and it was like he was flying on his own unicorn complete with rainbows and glitter with how good they were.
While I have my favourites like Etihad because of the relationship I had with them, but even with a favourite airline there were flights that werent as good, staff who werent up to their usual standards or where things just went awry. When I was asked about my experiences with Etihad by friends I would give them the good and the bad and more importantly what the airline did when things went badly. An honest review will do that, and most of your viewers who have posted other content providers they respect, all do the same.
I don't see that in Sam Chui's reviews which is why I quickly gave up on watching any of his content as it was clearly an advertising campaign from him on behalf of the airline he reviewed.
From your end, you have done everything you can. You have called him out publicly, challenged him to produce evidence of the allegations he has made against you and asked him to go on camera with you to discuss these allegations. If he had the proof he would either show it, or take legal action against you and produce it in court, but where he hasn't done that, I expect that it isn't there.
I love your work, and look forward to your next adventures and from one subscriber to you, can I suggest you take the attitude of "Sam Who?"
Josh you are right 100%! We are with you. Call Noel to make that meeting stronger :)
Dude!!!! Just found your Chanel like some days ago and I LOVE your Chanel!!!! Because it’s honest, controversial 😆 and NO airline paid propaganda!!! Dude keep up the good work, keep those videos comin! All the best 👍🏼👍🏼
Dear Josh and Sam,
I hope you're both doing well. I’ve been following your channels for a while, and I truly appreciate the hard work and creativity you both put into your content. You each have a unique voice and bring something valuable to your audience.
I understand there’s been some tension recently, and it’s really unfortunate to see both of you caught up in this kind of back-and-forth. The online space can be full of misunderstandings, and sometimes things can spiral out of control, but I truly believe that both of you are far more powerful when you focus on the positive impact you can have through your content.
Rather than getting entangled in arguments or responding to fake news, I encourage you both to redirect your energy toward what you do best: creating great content that inspires, educates, and entertains your audiences. Your viewers look up to you, and I’m sure they would much rather see you focusing on your craft and collaborating on meaningful discussions, rather than getting bogged down in unnecessary drama.
Let’s remember why you started creating contents in the first place - to share your passions and connect with others. I hope you can find a way to move past this and refocus on the positive, constructive work that makes you both unique and valuable to the community.
Wishing you both continued success and creativity. Keep doing what you do best!
From an unconditional follower,
Christian.
I used to watch Sam Chui but when i realized that each aurline was 5 star for him i stopped watching literally because i flew some of them and it was not the experience i saw in the videos. Noel and Josh it is always and it will stay that way. Cheers Josh!
Josh Cahill you do a great job on providing insight of Airlines product for Passengers and your view are valuable to us ,so dont worry about the likes of Sam Chui or anyone else opinion about you, if people didnt like your videos they wouldn't watch you but you have 730,000 people subscribed so you are doing something right, so keep up the good work.
Hang in their, Josh. It's pretty evident that Sam is on this journey for his own financial gain, and not as an AV geek. You're a fave of us, along with Noel so just concentrate of what you do and the rest will fall away behind you. Coming from Australia.
You are authentic! Keep up the good work! Thank you..
Kenyan Guy here living in Brazil..I always love watching your content..Very real and enjoyable..yoir content speaks the truth .haters Will always be there ..Just ignore them😊 Ive watched chui's content but naah..🤜🏿👎🏿
@JoshCahill I’m an airline employee for one of the big 3 US airlines. I really enjoy your videos and how you tell the truth are not a poster boy for the airline. Please keep calling out the airline business to improve.
One suggestion is to make a video of all the deceitful and untruthful comments on the @SamChui channel. I recently seen a misleading video post from him on FB on airline employee flight benefits. He gives people false information that anyone can fly in a premium cabin from the US to Asia for only $500 if they can get this “magical pass” from an airline employee.
He needs to be called out for the misinformation and lies!
Thanks again for all you do!
Sam gives off Diddy vibes when he talks to the flight attendants lol
That's why I stopped watching him. Gave me creep vibes.
The first time I saw that guy something in my spirit didn’t click with him
Josh it’s pure jealousy because you keep it real and you expose them
We will stand with you that’s serious and I don’t think you are annoying ❤
Noel and you are the goats for me. Always an honest and complete review. Sam always felt like a puppet.
Josh i watched you since the start.. you are the most direct out of all and genuine! You damaged this sky divas ego .. so you must be doing something right 👍🏻 😂
No matter what other has to say, you are by far the most honest airline reviewer ever.
Josh, many folks can be critical towards insignificant aspects of your videos, opinions or your personality, but one thing you have oooozing out of every pore is INTEGRITY. True credit only goes to the man intelligent and honourable enough to know that when integrity gets sold for greed, their soul goes along with it. Keep it real bruz ✌🏼🇦🇺 💪🏼
It’s Josh & Noel for me 💪🏽
Josh - you and Sam Chui should do a future Airline/Flight operations review video together - this will solidify the peace between the both of you
Sam is a snake for doing this. It was obvious for a while now that he is using and abusing and pimping himself out to the different airlines.
for making a poor choice of comment in frustration that is no longer even on the internet anymore. A snake? Wouldn't want to take a fry iof your plate... probably end a relationship[ over it or make a police report about 'the incident'. 🤣
Wir lieben dich Josh, te queremos and we support you! Your reviews are so cool: honest, upfront, real and more importantly you are NOT an ass kisser and I admire that kind of people, so please keep being you! Hugs from an Ecuadorian in Ohio
I think Sam Chui has cleared the air on this issue with the video he made on this topic , I believe him but what matters is that both Josh and Sam would reconcile their differences so taking sides among viewers doesn’t even make sense , I love both their contents , the beauty of UA-cam is you have a genre of different forms doing the same thing , their content is different and I think I speak as a genuine av geek I love them both
Wise words.
You believe a shill?
To put into aviation terms you are Emirates first class and Mr. chui is spirit ecomony👍. You have an ability to connect with your viewers and want your experience to be like a normal person. You don't need the red carpet like him. You're awesome Josh. Never stop being who you are!!!
TO BE VERY HONEST I ALWAYS LOVE TO SEE YOUR VIDEOS AS YOU MOSTLY OPENING OR EXPLAINING ALL ASIAN,AFRICAN,MIDDLE EASTERN FLIGHT CARRIERS....😀
BUT MY INTEREST IS TO KNOW HOW YOU AVAIL SO MUCH OF YOUR TRAVEL BY BUSINESS CLASSES.........🤔...YOU RICH MAN....RICH....
LOVE FROM Bangladesh...😉
That is an interesting question. But it is impolite to ask someone what their salary is and what perks they get. Josh is obviously not afraid to tell what he feels is the truth and got banned from an important airline for doing so. Therefore we respect what he has to say.
I can’t believe it what not nice of Sam!!!! I’m shocked, totally on your side Josh. Big fan of you from Germany 👍🏼
Sam Chui is a sell-out. Sell-outs don’t dare constructively criticise anything or anyone for fear of lost paycheque. Used to like him/videos. Sad.
We don't care!! you do your job Cahil we love both your and Sam's content. It's like cake or steak? both are great but different
Josh we’re with you.
Tack!
I dont like them both. Im just here for the love of aviation really
👍same here
Out of curiosity, what's wrong with Josh?
Hi Josh,
I just have seen the new video of Sam and after his apologies he made it would be good that you and Sam sit together and speak out the issues. You sre working in a total different spectrum so I will follow both of your new videos.
Keep up the good work Josh!
Sam Chui has held no interest to me since I read so many other people saying that he only travels with airlines who pay him for his content. Unlike you, Josh, he is in it for what he can get out of it. I prefer your vlogs every time over SC and will remain a dedicated follower of your channel.
yeah, seems like it. His videos are overly positive, they seem like adverts for the airlines. I've unsubscribed from him
I got into these kind of video's with video's of Sam in his early days but it got boring with the continuous over glorification. Now .... I only watch yours and Noels videos. Great content, josh (and Noel) keep it up!!
The two Juggernauts of airline review industry clash
Always the truth will prevail over payoffs
I have no time for fake reviews and paid promotions, keep up the good work Josh, I love your honesty
after the last video with Air India i thought the hatchet between you was buried :/
You are very professional and you say the things in the way they are. Sam it’s not my cup of tea, fake reviews.
I've always said that Sam looks like the small mailman from Up, Russel. Maybe he should just fly on houses tethered to a bunch of helium balloons instead and help Mr Fredricksen reach his destination
you're the best, integrity is everything.
Don't lower yourself to his level. You are class and a man of principals. Keep up the great work. We love you.
I am Iraqi and your latest review of Iraqi airways was daming but honest, and I loved it because it might actually make an impact to see change in my national airlines. Thank you.
That card will make up for Sam's accusation. Keep on doing your thing, do not pay him any mind, haters don't last.
Sam chui is basically a flith. His face is true reflection of his character
Hate to see even his face .
Stay the course, Josh! I love your videos and you provide excellent reviews.
Chui's videos appear to be all staged airline (paid propaganda) reviews, Stick with Josh, Dan and Noel.
I stopped watching Sam once I discovered you and I haven’t missed him at all. You say it the way it is and I’m always grateful.
