This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Is anyone is willing to shed some info,
If you would notice, you would see Indian Airlines having Indian Flag near the front door.
airlines of other countries don't do that… So why does our airlines do that? Is it their Patriotism ? Or is it there any rules regarding this?
Bangalore to Chennai has to be the most useless flight. Quicker to drive or take bands Bharat express
Serving drinks preflight in my view is equivalent to taking a business class offering into coach.
Increased risk of high cleaning costs but marketing gold when considering the untapped market referred to in the same video.
First time flyer from small town relating his experience to his mates: “Dude, you get a free coke and some chips before we even get wheels up! Woohoo!”
Great Video❤ 👍
I must try in this flight to some other Countries if available. 💐❤🌷
Good luck
Thanks for adding the background information on Akasa Air and the Indian market in general. This really does help put things into perspective.
useless vdo; you are so-called blogger who dont know anything about vlog-reporting. instead of wasting so much time about faltu information; youcould have shown check-in process how ificent or in-efficient it was. inflight service etc. air-hostess dealing with passengers was polite or arrogant etc
Do they operate Bangalore-Hyderabad flights?
Was any Male cabin crew on service in your flight?
The thing I like most about your channel is that you don't make videos to just whine at each and every tiny thing and of course no clickbait thumbnails or 'shocking' claims! It makes your content more relatable and knowledgeable to everyone. 🙏🏻
I aspire to do what u do ! I can only imagine how much work goes into producing such video with so much information and which is eye pleasing !
Mumbai BOM Flight USA number send
I flew the aircraft on QP1341 BOM-BLR in Nov 2022. And I didn't like this seating cushion. Wanted and I like the purple one like on VT-YAA which had folding headrest.
Terimakasih ada bahasa Indonesia. GBU 🙏
Good analysis
Have you travelled in Star Air yet? They have Embraer Jets instead of traditional big size aircrafts.
Next time try regional airlines like starair , alliance air and gofirst to smaller cities
Good trip report 📸
Nice coverage
No matter how many airlines keep coming here pricing of tickets will only decide the fight between railways and airways. Already trains r improving and prices of ac fares reducing .airlines finding very hard to reduce costs
Looking for an international traveller who will travel to tier 3 and 4 cities airports
Hey Kevin, I really want to say this. I am a visually impaired person who happens to love aircraft and travel. Your narration helps me to follow the video without any hiccups. I really appreciate the efforts you are taking to come up with such good narrations. Also, whenever I am watching any of your videos there is something to learn so I can see how much research goes into giving authentic information. I am requesting you to include narrations in all of your videos. Please don't stop them. It helps people like me to get an authentic experience. By the way, hope you had a great time in my state's capital. Thanks and regards, cheers and have a good day
A well-done flight review video! No unnecessary cribbing over smaller nitty-gritties that happen everywhere in the due course.
Also no cakes, bells or whistles of any sort for our flight reviewer passenger from the airline to overcompensate, 'coz they don't know he's one! 😉
Great to see so many India-based airlines doing greater than most other airlines across globally.
May you stay so lucid and unbiased as ever!

Akasa के संचालक गण को सलाह है कि रीवा से जहाज चलाने की परमिट ले लें फायदे में रहेंगे।
Your comment on the food being served before take off sounded like my school friend telling me "In spite of getting an A grade, you complain about your handwriting not being neat" 😄😄
