ONLY NONSTOP FLIGHT from ROMANIA to the US!

[@lvthud]

I was just reading up on HiSky as I have to go to Romania next year, I couldn't find any reviews on the JFK service, so a huge thank you. Now on to the video.

[@lvthud]

Okay, that's a pass for me, but thanks for taking one for the team. BTW, an easy way of dealing with the "Is Turkey in Europe", for that, use the Eurovision as a guide, it means that no, Turkey is not in Europe, but Israel and Australia are.

[@David-qs9yl]

It just started so you wouldn't find reviews this early. For a direct service it's not a bad price, but you can fly with Lufthansa, LOT, KLM and many more for roughly the same price but with a 1 stop.

As a romania I recomended to you if you are in bucharest next year you can visit "casa poporului"

[@florinvlad1281]

Hi Patrick, romanian viewer living in NY here. Love this video! My wife took this flight last week in Y and the flight was barely 1/3 full. She had the 4 middle seats as a "full lie flat" bed. But as you mentioned the load factor is not sustainable long term....I hope they survive because it is a convinient option to fly direct. But my worry is that, with this being their only widebody if it breaks at any point, there is little they can do and will end up in massive disruption to the passengers. Keep up the good work!

[@kikiryki]

visa waiver is missing you know

[@OnePrussianReich]

They can always lease another widebody from, for example, Wamos Air

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Yea there’s definitely some big concerns I have with the sustainability and resiliency of the route. Personally, I feel their best bet is making it summer seasonal and wet leasing another widebody if they really want to make it work

[@OnePrussianReich]

@@PatrickSheaAviation ALSO they could try having less frequencies and replacing them with Canada and Charter flights, charters are usually full on Hisky's A330

[@watchyawant]

As long as US will keep Romanians in the visa zone, these planes will fly half-empty until eventual cancelation...

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I do wonder if it’ll change now that the US seems to be expanding its visa free countries in europe

As a romanian that loves the US this flight would sure be a lifesaver- if only it would be sustainable. I was actually surprised by how empty your flight was but then the comments reminded me about the visa... the most nightmarish travel related experience. Don't get me wrong, I understand the hesitancy to remove it as the reputations of romanians abroad is... not so good, but as a traveler, boy do I wish we had visa free travel to the US.

[@RoadCone411]

I enjoyed my time in Bucharest in 2022...would definitely go back. I flew via London on the way out of JFK (using BA) and came back on Lufthansa via Munich (to Newark). I'd be interested in the nonstop but I bet their economy seats are way off the pace of most major carriers with Euro hubs.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Definitely. Can’t beat nonstop sometimes thoufg

[@janellek21]

Now you can fly from Bucharest to NYC, have a late lunch at Sammy's Romanian on the Lower East Side, then fly home in time for breakfast.
I don't see this lasting. There doesn't seem to be enough demand for traffic between Romania and NYC to keep the seats filled, especially now that the government can't afford to subsidise TAROM the way it used to during communism. If this route survives it'll be limited to seasonal summer service 2-3x/week.

[@kikiryki]

You are right. Delta made an unsuccessful attempt in 2009

[@zloinaopako]

“As a matter of fact”, I have a feeling, listening to your narration that you are reading an essay titled:”How I spent my summer holidays.”

[@whodatvalentin]

[@stefanchiriac2693]

Hisky aero is owned by HiSky which is Moldavian company, if Moldova can launch flights from RMO to JFK then the a330 will be at Chisinau and Romania so they will buy more aircrafts

[@avianlook]

Sweet video!
I assume their economy will sell alright if pricing is reasonable. Beyond extra legroom I don't see any reasons to upgrade to business on hisky though. The cabin not having been even slightly modernised is such an unfortunate chance, and probably a big sign of their financial hardship. Modernisations cost quite the amount of money, but that increase in comfort is what has passengers paying a premium! Those few business seats should be paying the fair and economy should be a treat on top of that, but if they can't afford a clean (or let stand fully operational) business cabin I fear their future will be tough, financially at least. Once again, great watch!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

It’s a bit more money than the one stop options but for some, the nonstop service is worth it all. I wonder how much they can get away with with marketing that though

[@edyallreadygalaxy717]

Ohoooo! It has A340-600 engines! Super cool!❤❤❤❤

Totally. I wonder if the visa for Romanians will be re-evaluated. This route may struggle with that in place

[@thomassharp2719]

I hope Sky Hi Airlines order the Airbus A330neo-800 aircraft for longer routes to California and Mexico.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

IF they get new widebodies, I doubt we see the -800. My guess is some wet leased aircraft

[@ymodnar]

@@PatrickSheaAviation I can't see them getting any other new widebodies because it would make sense for fleet commonality and there would be less crew training. Also, HiSky is a budget airline so it's unlikely they will switch to something like the Boeing 787

[@robertsoslow733]

Nice video. Strange that you commented that the food at the buffet was SO European. You were in Europe. And then just a note on pronunciation. Chisinau is pronouned "Kishinow". Iasi is pronounced "Yash". Good luck.

[@adrianb.6880]

Thanks for the great video! I wish you had included a pick in the economy section as well. If the business-class amenities are that poor, I can only imagine what’s left for the economy passengers. I'm used to the non-functional power outlets and outdated equipment on Tarom, the main Romanian carrier-not to mention the issues at the airport. Speaking of which, I've never seen another runway with weeds growing through cracks in the asphalt like at OTP. You can actually see this in your video starting at 11:25. Like Romanians are used to say: "Merge si asa" :)

[@HadrianTAZ]

The video really doesn't do Romania any justice in my opinion. I have been there and would love to go back and let me tell you, the pictures I took on my phone alone are better than most of the video.
It goes to prove : if one is set up on stereotyping and throwing dirt, one will film in such ways as to deliver that. Awful filming angles and bad choice of places, on purpose in my opinion. Too bad.. Romania and it's people are absolutely amazing and will go back to hopefully many more holidays.

[@redademe]

Romania has never been a tourist hotspot (except for Romanians abroad), I don't see the average American family planning their yearly vacation in Romania. The airport and train station in Bucharest speak for themselves no matter how you try to sugarcoat the reality.
It's a destination to visit once for single travelers or couples, as a tag-on with another destination (Bulgaria and Turkey come to mind given the geographical proximity and Istanbul's giant hub).

[@HadrianTAZ]

@@redademe That is not true, as even Heathrow would look bad if you shoot the wrong angles and the wrong filters. I know what I am saying, it was done on purpose. And Romania could be a more common place to go to if shown in a positive way. This video definitely doesn't help, does it? Hence your comment

[@redademe]

@@HadrianTAZ The video is just a flight review and not a tourism promotion thing but it shows a sad state of the airport/aviation and I fully agree with the author. I've been to Romania countless times for work so I wasn't waiting for this one to tell me what the country's weaknesses are.

[@HadrianTAZ]

@@redademe then if it is, why the generalisation about "Eastern Europe" to be avoided? It is not just a flight video, it is about bashing Eastern Europe, no matter what they do. This is how it comes accros and in all honesty, the video was intended to reflect the biased, stereotypical opinion of the author.

[@HadrianTAZ]

@@redademe then you are a really sad individual mate. Wake up

[@briangasser973]

As a NYer, I never heard anyone demanding a non-stop flight to Romania. I can't see this flight lasting long based on the cost to fly the route and it's load factor.

[@kikiryki]

Delta had a similar direct flight in June 2009 and stopped after 3 months of summer because it did not have enough booking rate (about 70%)

[@vladddn1]

no new route will be profitable fast, visa waiver will help

[@iGamezRo]

I flew from Bucharest to New York on a connecting flight in June. We stopped in Paris, then to JFK. When I returned, we stopped at Amsterdam, then arrived in Bucharest. The problem is that we aren't in the Visa Waiver Program yet. There is a big push for us the enter and I did do my duty as a Romanian to get an US Visa and not be denied (I kinda couldn't get because I didn't go for tourism, I went for a competition). Our current Prime Minister did say that he will attempt as much as possible to lobby for Visa Waiver to the US and other stuff that concern Romanians, like Spanish double citizenship. Hope I'll see these flights full and that I'll fly with them either this winter or next summer.

[@guristu]

In my opinion they should have chosen Cleveland or Detroit. I used this flight a couple of weeks ago but I live in Ohio and anything out of Cleveland to JFK is either not direct, or too early in the morning or too late in the evening, so I chose to drive the day before and left the car in a parking lot. There are far many more Romanians in the Ohio-Michigan area that might use this, but if they are going to have a layover anyway, it's irrelevant where it is, if it's in the US or in Europe. Besides, in general, many people I've talked to, would rather avoid JFK if they could. I liked landing in Bucharest early in the morning, because that gave me enough time to get to my destination (4-hour drive). In previous years I always landed after 4pm. They need to at least figure out how to connect the Romanian hot-spots like Detroit, Cleveland and Chicago with their flight; that could help. They have what it takes. I haven't flown TAROM in many years, but, compared to what I remember, HiSky is a lot better.

I would definitely use skyhi to travel directly to NYC! The connecting flights are no big deal to do! After all, once you land in US you have to check your luggage and go through the customs irrespective if you both a connection in the same ticket or 2 different tickets from companies that are not partners. I’d rather not pay hundreds of dollars extra just to have the ‘convenience’ of buying one ticket with a stopover im NYC and 2 different opperatoros, hifly and some sore of American one. No thanks, it’s not worth it! Not when USA makes all flights be basically separate by having everyone go through the customs and collecting all their luggages in NYC and going again with everything to check in for the American continental flight. It’s not worth to even do a partnership with an american airline for thus, Americans would rob hisky of all their profits and bankrupt them for the partnership, and again, the Americans would not offer a benefit to any passengers. There’s no real value there.
Better to use google flights and by separate tickets one from hifly second from whatever American company is most convenient. And that’s the way to do real business and pay for value. Good review, would definitely use hifly.
And don’t worry about the business class not getting preferential treatment upon embarking, just flew with some Icelandic airline and it was absolutely no acknowledgment of business class people whatsoever, nonsense, nil. In anything. The westerners just charge more for basically nonexistent service i guess. No big deal. Hisky does better, much better. And what’s very important, is that at the airport they immediately took your critique into consideration and adapted and did the check in very professional. Which is not how any of the KLM or other similar airline would react, you’d be lucky if they’d pretend to hear your opinion about how they operate in Bucharest. I flew connecting flights from Bucharest to whatever point in Europe then to US for decades, with Tarom the Romanian company, the germans, Dutch, Swiss, Italians, and even in the good old times with the Polish and the Hungarians. Also flew with low cost companies like the Norwegians and the Icelandics, which are basically way subpar to the hisky you presented. Tks for giving your opinion about hisky. What I can definitely say made me appreciate hisky and the Romanian staff at the airport in Bucharest overall, is the fact that when you gave them feedback about marking tje check in land for business and putting signs for the checkin they instantly addressed it, very professional folks, good for them! Tks
