@@Cr-madridsta Without critics, you cant improve. He is shining light towards problems, which you can fix. Thanks to critical review, many airlines have improved
This may be an unpopular opinion but I view all euro-business "business class" a scam. Yes you get lounge access, a meal (usually) and priority boarding with security (where available) but you can also get lounge access through airline loyalty programs (I am one world emerald for example so in LHR I can go into BA's highest tier lounge) and get priority boarding and security through a credit card perk from the airline or partner airline. Even if you do not have one of those, if you are flying enough to see value in lounge access (the highest chunk of the price difference between economy and business class) its significantly cheaper in the long run to buy a priority pass membership and buy economy tickets (maybe paying a bit extra to reserve a specific seat in the cabin) than buying business class in this scenario. For me personally I buy business class tickets for the seat upgrade and that is where the value lies in it for me. When there is a 300-600 dollar price difference between economy and business class, there better be an upgrade in hard product.
Great news to hear that Iraq and Kurdistan have turned the corner from the devistation that they have endured since 1991.I hope they contiune to improve in the coming decades and are able to show the West just how fantastic these countries are. As far as Air Erbil and Iraqi Airways are concerned I am seriously disappointed that both airlines appear not to care that much about the image they are portraying around the world. I hope that both airlinescan take on board your criticism and get their act together.
Welcome to you and everyone, regardless of their religion or nationality. We welcome everyone because we believe that every inch of this planet should be safe for all creatures.
This is crazy, another interesting flight! I always thought FlyEbril was a professional airline. I’m an aviation fan, and I would think this wasn’t a really great flight AS for cleanliness.
'Human touch is important' was on point. I am cabin crew, and sometimes the meals you serve even in premium cabins, can be, let's say 'funny' and bit embarrassing for the amount of money you are paying an airline. But it's all on you, how will you present to passenger, and explain the meal itself, to at least to sound more appealing. Where of course, you can always do extra mile and offer small other things and resources you have in galley, snacks, drinks etc... we always have extra things in galley that doesn't exist on menu😂 Greetings for you Josh☺️🫶🏻
I reckon that would have been a good security move for Turkey and other countries; however, there is a paranoia that such a recognition would have catastrophic effect in their own territories. This is at least the fear they have been mongring in the neighbouring countries. Moreover, such a "Kurdish issue" acting like a Democles' sword has been a very fruitful tool for many politicians on the right end of the spectrum during their reigns. Unfortunately, rationailsm is not a thing of the Middle East... =/
It’s Iraq but these foolish Kurds call it “Kurdistan” even though my mother is a Kurd, I have no respect for its government or the people. And it wouldn’t ever be a country given its conditions, the Kurds from turkey wouldnt like Kurdistan to be an actual country.

FlyErbil isn't the national airline of Kurdistan, it's a private company. I think they are much better than Iraqi Airways, especially in terms of service. However, its business class feels more like an enhanced economy class.
Dear Josh this airline is fairly new so please don’t give them a hard time :3 One fun fact about it tho, is that it has the longest runway in all of Middle East! And another fact that is that my dad used to be the electrical Engineer for that place back in 2008
Hey Josh you said you’re the only passenger in business class who are the other guys sitting in the same cabin? Thank you for sharing your experience with us.
I understand all the facts, but seriously-whether I fly with Condor or Lufthansa on a three-hour flight in an A320, they also don’t offer a special business class seat. They just keep the middle seat blocked. I don’t think they even provide a menu card for such a short flight. The meal might be of better quality, and the aircraft might have a better ambiance, but why should FlyErbil do anything different from what everyone else does on a three-hour flight? and for a business Trip from Bremen to Frankfurt i also pay 500€ oneway in business class. Only diffrence is i have lounge access and a meal on a 40 minutes flight.
you get a menu (at least I did), you get priority check-in, you get priority boarding, you get lounge access, you get priority luggage, you get proper maintained seats, you get more legroom. I would say there is a massive difference. Worth the money? Dunno but that’s not the point
@@SlavaUkraini85 ok you are right with priority checkin, priority boarding, lounge. But you will not get more legroom on A320 seats. The pitch is always the same. It doesnt matter if you fly Eco or businessclass. And i never got a menucard on a 3 hours flight in businessclass.
Appreciate your review, as a Kurd I usually fly Qatar or Fly Dubai business class out of EBL. Fly Erbil reminds me of A time I flew Lufthansa business class out of EBL. Hope this honest review will get to someone in the airline that cares and can make improvements.
Give them a break! Considering the hell Kurdistan has gone through in the last few decades, especially with ISIS, it's nothing short of a miracle that the capital city, Erbil, and even the airline are in the shape they're in. Kudos to the Kurds!
@@netalllf2329True statement because I actually worked with the peshmerga and they literally only had ak47s, some armored vehicles and few tanks. They still fought much harder than the Iraqi army which had more advanced weapons.
Having flown Iraqi Airways and FlyBaghdad a few years ago, I feel like these sorts of airlines can only be classified in the "exotic" only for AvGeek sort of airline. However, I think Josh is doing a great job pushing these airlines to do better and I can tell he is doing it out of a love for Iraq, a country I also love after 3 visits.
In my experience, when traveling from Amsterdam to Erbil, you receive priority at check-in. I’m not sure about other services, but it’s a good start. A tip: When you're there, it’s important to be assertive and proactive. Maybe if you ask for help when you’re at the airport in Erbil, you can likely get priority check-in and possibly priority boarding by showing your business class ticket. I hope this information is helpful. Great job on your review, and I’m glad you visited Kurdistan. I hope more Europeans will visit Kurdistan and that the situation with Fly Erbil and Iraqi Airways continues to improve over time.
Just a note - I flew Air Albania last year. It was a codeshare with British Airways, from London to Tirana. And the plane and crew were from Finnair. It was a crazy experience! 🙂
Although I don't know,I think Iraqi side is more developed than the Turkish side of the border. Like for example Zakho and Duhok could be more developed than Hakkari Silopi or Cizre, I think that's what he meant. Ofc Istanbul is more developed than all of Iraq combined.
Kurdistan does not have a national carrier. Firstly, Fly Erbil is a private company and does not officially represent Kurdistan. Secondly, it is a budget airline, so expectations should be tempered accordingly. While I understand your concern about the high prices, flights to Kurdistan and Iraq are generally more expensive. However, I agree with you that they should eliminate their business class altogether, as it is effectively nonexistent.
But to be fair with the crew: its an Aircraft operated by BH Airlines, with Crews from Bulgaria... For them its probably a short term thing, so maybe they simply don´t get trained about the catering "concept" of Fly Erbil/ UR Air
Honestly I will say this is the same business class in Europe style of single lane airplane. But for the check-in counter, lounge access & luggage handling, that’s big problem. About the food, that’s hardly to say anything because the taste is very depends on personal. If I put the Asia standard on the review, that’s very bad experience! Still appreciate Josh to spend time with traveling with those “not meet Asia standard” airlines. I just mean normal airlines not budget airlines! I will try AirAsia in my first time experience in budget airline, I wish I can get “not so bad” services.
18:10 I cannot agree more with your comments about Istanbul airport. This is, by far, the most impractical, unnecessarily huge, so huge that I know people who missed their connecting flights, terminal building. Bloody hell.. size does matter and the smaller the better. Besides where they built this new airport is on the path of migratory birds and planes get a lot of cross winds especially landing in winter - not happy Gen. Besides it was supposed to be the third airport in Istanbul yet they shut down Ataturk Airport for reasons that many people may be sent to an exotically cold location, if openly mentioned. Istanbul Airport is nothing but an expensive, rip-off mall with a couple of runways thrown in front of it.
Brfore 10 years .. in summer of 2014 .. I flew from arbil to ankara .. the ticket price was 750 dollar for one person .. the service in the plane was not good .. i asked the stewdess for water to drink 3 times in the 2 hours flying time .. she answered me in the 3 times ( later) .. she never bring me water. another thing that the passenger beside me in airplane have a dog in small metal gage .. the cage took the most of my room .. so my legs was uncomfortable entire the trip .
"A lot more developed and progressive than Turkey..." Bro what? Those lavish buildings are probably the reason why you felt as such, and most of these buildings were built by Turkish companies. Even the Erbil Airport was built by Turkish Company and opened to service in 2010.
HI Josh, did you try to compare Pegasus airline with Flyerbil? How about the airport in Istanbul. Did you see a difference between sabiha goc. Istanbul airport and EIA? To be honest, Erbil international airport is a way much better than sabiha goc. Regarding Flyerbil, It just need time and money for Flyerbil to improve their planes. At least we have our own airline, which flies to lot's countries. Thank you for supporting our kurdish airlines.
@@ProudMesopotamianGirl go care about your country which is illegal to marry a girl that she's plus 9 and don't lie about my kurdish girls shame on you
Hi Josh, I think, the crew was decent ..... with all the bad experience youve had on other flights this is a 7.5 to me on crew score.... As for the Business Class ticket, they should just forget about it and convert it to a Premium Econ ticket wih a 250-275 ticket for now until they figure out what they want to do for the future. Also, because they dont have the setup in the planes they got now for business class without overhauling the aircraft. If i was to start an airline, and i got no choice as to what am gonna get as fleet... if i was to get this type of configuration, i would sell premium econ and econ tickets initially. Business class can come in the future. This would give more time for making a dedicated lounge... initially if the planes did come with some business class section, i would have an agreement with that generic lounge at the airport initially. 🤔 Priority check in and boarding on the other hand should have been available...that is unacceptable. It dont cost any more money to do that. They could even give this perk to a premium econ passenger (if business class didnt exist)
The amount of times i have went to istanbul is uncountable but i have never flew on FLY ERBIL airline i have only flew on TURKISH AIRLINE and it us decent

@@ProudMesopotamianGirl go care about your country which is illegal to marry a girl that she's plus 9 and don't lie about my kurdish girls shame on you
@@ProudMesopotamianGirlwho’s we? You’re not kurdish, just someone who is anti kurdish.
@@ProudMesopotamianGirlyou’re not even kurdish. lol what do you know?
@@ProudMesopotamianGirlYou’re Assyrian so your opinion means nothing.
Hi Josh, I think, the crew was decent ..... with all the bad experience youve had on other flights this is a 7.5 to me on crew score....
As for the Business Class ticket, they should just forget about it and convert it to a Premium Econ ticket wih a 250-275 ticket for now until they figure out what they want to do for the future. Also, because they dont have the setup in the planes they got now for business class without overhauling the aircraft. If i was to start an airline, and i got no choice as to what am gonna get as fleet... if i was to get this type of configuration, i would sell premium econ and econ tickets initially. Business class can come in the future. This would give more time for making a dedicated lounge... initially if the planes did come with some business class section, i would have an agreement with that generic lounge at the airport initially. 🤔
Priority check in and boarding on the other hand should have been available...that is unacceptable. It dont cost any more money to do that. They could even give this perk to a premium econ passenger (if business class didnt exist)
Will be nice if ou review Lot Polish Arline
The amount of times i have went to istanbul is uncountable but i have never flew on FLY ERBIL airline i have only flew on TURKISH AIRLINE and it us decent
And FlyErbil Is NOT kurdistan Official Plane Airlines, Its A Private Company
I agree with you,it took us more than an hour to collect our checked luggage at Istanbul airport, the longest we've ever waited.😅
Where’s exactly Kurdistan located .. any ideas?? 🇹🇷 ❤
It has nestled between Iraq and Turkey.
Its in the middle east and half of turkey is kurdistan❤
@@netalllf2329nah all Middle East is Kurdistan 😂
@@al-amingarbati8352 can’t see it on the map tho
where is kurdistan in map lmaoo 😂
Been watching the last few videos on a bit of a binge, they're my favorite yet. would love to see you go to Belize! If you need a local there I volunteer my dad as tribute ❤😂
P.S. seeing your friendships are my favorite part ❤
Can you review a Congo airline
As a kurdish I’m really ashamed of this and I’m really sorry u went through that
that glass building and the airport wooww look very progressive and developed compared to Iran and Turkey 😂😂😂 lets be real dude..
Kurds developed the city in a few years. How many years do Turks live in caves now?
This dude is really "cahil" bro 😁
@@dogukanc11 that’s why Erbil is called little Dubai and not Gaystanbul
Probably talking about how Turks keep attacking foreigners like Americans. Or what about the poor kurdish guy from the Iraq area who was killed for being kurdish? Country like that are not developed, modern maybe, but still backwards.
@@xXxRRAxXx lol you can progaganda here all you wand dude but I aint buying
The cabin attendant should have offered you a peg (for your nose), instead of the chocolate dessert!😂
im from kurdistan but the truth is iraqi and erbil airways is really really bad we are not using them in our traveling so don’t use it next time
I completely feel you on your comment that IST is just way too big…
Every time I’m flying though IST, I’m getting a minimum of 10k steps 😅
This airline is new company needs some time to be improved and get experience and people there are not rich to use expensive airline or service , people just came out out from wars , and takes time to get better , very bad comparison you did matey
if the national airline is 70 years old and bad how you expect a new airline be in good rate ✈
You need to go to Kuwait's new international airport, they announced it would be open sometime this year.
Shout out to Erbil security authorities for making this Airport one of the safest Airports in the world comparing it to the hot zone it’s located in. Great work 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Love your videos Josh
Hey Josh please make a fly review of QANTAS and Air New Zealand, Thank you brother.
Interesting to see that the plane is registered in Bulgaria with Balkan Holidays.

This is the equivalence of being scammed, when you order an item online that looks nothing like what you get in reality
Hey Josh please make a fly review of Absurdistan Airlines and Narnia Airlines next as part of imaginary countries series.
Love how butt hurt you got - insecure much? haha
What do you mean by imaginary countries???
Do you not believe Kurdistan exists?!!!
@@clifeguimaraes763there is not an official country such as kurdistan🤣🤣🤣
Cry somewhere else.
Indigo aren’t the worlds largest budget airline, it’s Ryanair by passenger numbers and Southwest Airlines by fleet size.
17:07 “Total gas chamber in here” 😂
OK, Josh, if you haven't already, I'd love to see you land or take off from the 7 longest runways in the world.
I will never understand why there is no People mover system inside the new Istanbul Airport. Missed my connection there. Felt like a common thing..
Maybe the $500 was for the cheese 😂😂😂
