    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.

    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.

    '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😂

      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... =/

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

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.

    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)
