My friend visited bhutan few months ago....and when i asked him how was bhutan...he said that it's one of those countries where simplicity and good heart people lives.... it's one of the most beautiful country and it one of those carbon negative countries ❤
@@nirisha2108 - I was fortunate enough to be able to do consulting work for large oil companies and banks. They sent me to a whole lot of places to do my work. Believe me, I count my blessings!
Bhutan is a gorgeous place. The Himalayas are often associated with lofty heights covered deep in ice, but the Eastern Himalayas are often sub-alpine, and have everything from snow-capped mountains to lush forest valleys. It's a pretty difficult place to travel to for westerners, but it has gotten significantly easier and cheaper in the last couple of years. Sikkim and northern West Bengal is a great alternative too for similar scenery, but Bhutan hits the perfect spot. As an aside, Kolkata is my hometown, so I was awaiting this trip report and the next! I've only flown Druk Air, but I'm pleasantly surprised - will definitely give Bhutan Airlines a try next time. Suvarnabhumi is also a frequent hub for me - though I've grown a bit bored of its utilitarianism, even the Sat terminal doesn't shake things up enough.
Yeah Sikkim is actually on my list along with quite a few other far north destinations in India- but the fact that there’s just one or two hotels in each place I’d be interested in really does make for a challenging itinerary lol.
@@tfft As you may know, Darjeeling (just south of Sikkim) has a rich tradition of heritage hotels & resorts, originating from the Victorian era when it was the chosen getaway for the British (Calcutta was their capital for Asian colonies). I'm sure they'll make for interesting videos! The most important thing in the Eastern Himalayas area is to hire a car & driver familiar with the mountain roads.
Just a word of advice for Bhutan. I'm Sri Lankan and have travelled there. For tourists entering Bhutan, you have to pay a USD$100 fee PER day. They refer to this as the Sustainable Development Fee (SDF). This fee goes toward infrastructure, airports, tourism related expenses etc. On top of this fee, you will also have to hire a tour guide unless you are on an all inclusive type of tour package. The SDF has to be paid fully in advance during the visa application process. If you plan to stay in Bhutan for 2 days, then they will charge you $200, 5 days will be $500 etc. The SDF fee does not include anything to you, the tourist. So on top of that fee you will have to budget for hotels, food, transport and a tour guide. The irony is that they want more tourists but this daily fee is what may put people off from travelling there. It used to be $200 a day, but was reduced.
Thought Bhutan was worried about overtourism so that's why they have the SDF & probably also limit the no. of visas they approve, & thus having more tourists might not be their biggest priority
This is the first video of yours I've seen, and I love the positivity with everything. A lot of people just enjoy taking everything apart for the heck of it. You've gained a subscriber today ❤.
The statues in the airport are stunning. The history of air travel in Thailand. Is fascinating, thanks for sharing it. I rather like the colors chosen inside the plane. Your breakfast looked great. Ten out of ten indeed. Really nice video, thanks.
@@tfft LOL! On a more serious note, Kevin, just want to run an idea by you if at all possible. I noticed you haven't done flight review from US mainland to the territories like Guam or American Samoa. Or I'm a bonehead that you did this already many years ago. I thought those places have resorts/hotels that may be worth looking at. Thanks and cheers.
17:25 Flights on AI's narrow bodies are decent tbh. And if you are flying their retrofitted A320s, then you are in for a treat! They also have Wifi Entertainment.
Wowwwwwwwwwww, it really looked great !!!!!. THOSE COLORS!!!!!, the yellows, make it really different to the rest of the carriers !!!. The breakfast………it looked SUPERB !!!!!!!. 10/10 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nice work as always, what a lovely little trip that punched above expectations. Been waiting a while to see the infamous "Two Planes, one van" video on the internet, and it did not disappoint.
Very impressive. I don't travel anymore but get a lot of enjoyment from videos like this. I remember in 1977 my parents and I flew Sydney to Glasgow, our first return since immigrating in 1964. The Singapore airlines flight had from memory 5 stops and it was extremely exciting for me. It seems that standards have declined and mass travel has made the process rather stressful. On long haul I don't think it's unfair to expect good service and food in economy. Short haul isn't so crucial but on a Virgin flight Sydney-Melbourne I had my card ready to purchase coffee. No luck they were not offering anything. Yet years ago when Ansett Australia was flying on a very brief flight from Sydney to Tasmania we were served a full dinner. How things have changed. Thanks again for your video. Cheers from London.
I've been so curious about this flight, from the teasers, that once I saw it was up early for members, I transferred my membership over from Patreon. Worth it!
Appreciate that! (But just FYI the same early access videos are also available on Patreon for $10 and higher members- but, whichever makes you happy makes me happy 😉)
Another fab review, Kevin. I've never been to Bhutan but some of my trekking friends have and they say the people as so gentle and kind. Your video didn't surprise on that. Your next flight I have done 4 times and it always delights me. Thanks for bringing it to us🙃😊❤
Not odd at all. The Middle East provides a near endless supply of tourism for some of these lesser known spots. I remember watching something about Jazeera Airlines expansion (from Kuwait) to now having near 15 daily flights to the ‘stans’ of all places.
Kevin, first of all, wonderful trip report! What a beautiful cute flight.. I was just watching the cutlery and cup and saucer designs, so nice! ❤ Now, welcome to my birth place, Calcutta although I don’t live there any more (in US for 22+ years). I wish you could visit it for a day though if you can. Next, Bhutan is the most environmentally conscious country in the world. The people are amazing, and the country itself is so nice and clean. They really worship environment and show how we can live fabulous with less. Lastly, the music when you Air India had me rolling 😂 Enjoy your trip in the Himalayas!
That actually brings up a good point as to why perhaps their breakfasts are so good… they don’t operate night flights to my knowledge. Their home airport (Paro) is one of the most dangerous approaches on earth and must be done visually only.
Kevin, love the video and content it never disappoints! Can’t wait for you to visit Bhutan airport you will be pleasantly surprised with the terminal and soulful country. Abrazo Siempre y Mil Gracias por tu fabuloso trabajo!! Pls do Lukla 😉😉😉
Visiting Bhutan is high on my list, however I have understood you can’t freely travel the country but will be assigned a guide during your stay. I actually think this is a good idea, since it will hopefully prevent the country to be overrun by tourists 🙏🏼 Very charming airline, their product looks like something you would expect in Europe business class some 30 years ago 😅
Yeah I agree about having the guides. It sounds and feels restrictive at first- but I assume they’re like (government required) guides I’ve had before in China and Iran, they’re probably more organizers and support systems than “NOW WE DO THIS” hand holders lol
Interesting video and well off RUclips's beaten track. I looked at doing a trip to the Land of Gross National Happiness a little while back but found myself thinking that they really didn't want tourists. Perhaps I should check again. Compliments on the sound-editing.
Very nice video 🎉 I’ve flown with this airlines and the exact same A5-DOR from CCU to BKK. I must say that the economy class service is far better than SQ in a similar 2 hours flight 😂
7:00 I read that many African airlines e.g. Ethiopian like to choose Bangkok as their main Asian destination as it's airport is both quite new & inexpensive
Next time you're in Bangkok, be sure to visit the newly opened Dusit Thani Bangkok. Although it's not fully completed yet, I was really impressed with the property when I had lunch there today.
Huh. Only one direct flight to Bangkok from the Americas. I figured that there would be a few more than that. Oh, and I just learned that Calcutta is also called Kolkata. Better very late than never, I guess...lol.
That Air India part at the end (with the doom music accompanying it) had me rolling 🤣🤣 That said, Bhutan Airlines seems like a cool, niche carrier - especially considering they fly the cute baby bus.
I took that routing - with a short stopover in Yangon - exactly 20 years ago on Indian Airlines - anyone remember them? This review makes you wish Bhutan airlines had s bigger route network. Will probably still be a couple more years before we see Bhutan Air A-350's at LAX, LHR or FRA.
Wish you’d stayed in Calcutta. The Oberoi Grand is the oldest in their portfolio, and while a bit dated, is absolutely lovely and a real steal as far as prices go. The boutique Glenburn Penthouse is spectacular too. Looking forward to the KTM leg (especially the views)!
BA used to do a great simple breakfast. Yoghurt, fruit salad and a muffin in a stick. Now for short hall that's very clever. No religious or dietry issues bar no dairy. But you can dish them out to all that want it quickly. Then you spend your time doing the teas and coffees. For short hall that's a very efficient process and smart.
I love this use of the curtain! It would go a long way towards solving one of the biggest problems in the world today - economy passengers using the first/business class bathrooms. As Jeremy Clarkson would say - you might catch a disease from those people 😮.
@@tfft There’s a scene in the movie Ms Congeniality where Sandra bullock says what she wants for the world is harsher parole violation punishments stan, instead of world peace - If id have written the script it would be punishing flyers using the wrong Lavatory 😂. I mean the air Marshalls don’t have much to do, let’s put ‘em to work! (Yes this is a joke)
I am also never excited about breakfast on planes. They are aways almost the same. When I am flying business in short haul, if it is possible, I usually prefer the afternoon flights just bcs of the catering.
I wish more carriers did the curtain thing and boarding from the back, Would avoid the judgmental stares as people walk past 🤣 14:33 why did I think that was mash potato??? haha
Great video as always Kevin - thanks - I’ve flown Druk so seeing Bhutan to compare was terrific - I know you’ll love Bhutan - the eerie AI doom intro made me smile - hopefully it’s ok - we wait patiently
The ride to the airport on the highway must have been a bumpy one at 130km/h 😂 Bhutan is a spectacular country and Bhutanese people are extremely proud and welcoming, like Thais but on another level up
Sorry, forgot to hit the subscribe button...I was feeding my Cougar. If I don't feed him...he looks at me like I'm dinner. And how many specials do you need on that Emirates flight?
Visiting Bhutan is high on my list, however have understood you can’t freely travel the country and will have to book a guide that will accompany you. This I think is actually a good idea, because it will hopefully prevent the country from being overrun by tourists. Lovely airline, their service looks like something you would expect 30 years ago in business class Europe….🎉😅
@@tfft had no idea. I must just not be paying enough attention - your videos are relaxing to throw on in the background. In an ideal world they’d replace the stupid Marriott welcome videos that are burned into my brain from leaving the tv on! Hopefully it at least gives you some incremental RUclips premium revenue
Kevin, do you like flying on shady airlines ? 😅 Come try our national flag carrier It's the missing airlines in 'this region' from your bucket list tldr: you won't like it
@@tfft I’ll admit I regret visiting the st Regis there on the Marriott MMP rate. It was a deal, but my god it was like living out the movie forgetting Sarah Marshall but without the Milia Kunis redemption arc. It was beautiful, but miserable
Flew them in 2018 direct from Saigon on one of their rare direct flights to Paro. Flying up the flight was fairly normal then suddenly having reached the flank of the Himalaya the plane turned right exposing the gleaming enormous white mountains in bright morning sun making everyone gasp with joy and amazement and turn into little kids all shifting to the left side of the plane to look. Then the awesome landing in Paro. We all await anxiously your first trip to Bhutan.
Yeah a short while ago they announced a few more flights from Saigon. I didn’t know they also did it pre Covid but safe to say I was shocked to read the news lol.
And geniune leather seats, most people don't realise they're sitting on PVC in other airlines.. There is a big difference in comfort. Again, predicting, because obviously I haven't seen it, why are Indian airport security so full of shit?
The difference is he's not being sponsored by a country or airline, making his reviews more objective. Doesn't need to be fake positive because he's not getting a free ticket from the sponsor. We're getting these reviews whether or not you want to donate to his Patreon.
One style (sponsored by hotels/airlines) is creating videos which are one long advertisement- sometimes disclosed and sometimes not, honesty questionable. The other style (mine) is a completely honest and independent video with an 8 second request that you support such (free and independent) videos. Given how many videos are full hidden sponsorships these days, it still surprises me how put off people are by a few seconds of self promoting a small business which produces content for people to watch for free 😂

Probably, but that’s an AOT thing which most airlines use in Thailand- less so about the airline.

Not particularly.

@@tfft I’ll admit I regret visiting the st Regis there on the Marriott MMP rate. It was a deal, but my god it was like living out the movie forgetting Sarah Marshall but without the Milia Kunis redemption arc. It was beautiful, but miserable
love bk airport
Where you can have your way! (Though they will put cheese on your whopper whether you want it or not)
What happened to aspect ratio ??
Come again?
Flew them in 2018 direct from Saigon on one of their rare direct flights to Paro. Flying up the flight was fairly normal then suddenly having reached the flank of the Himalaya the plane turned right exposing the gleaming enormous white mountains in bright morning sun making everyone gasp with joy and amazement and turn into little kids all shifting to the left side of the plane to look. Then the awesome landing in Paro. We all await anxiously your first trip to Bhutan.
Yeah a short while ago they announced a few more flights from Saigon. I didn’t know they also did it pre Covid but safe to say I was shocked to read the news lol.
I heard Kolkata Airport is one of the worst airports. Can you confirm or dispute this?
I shall do neither lol
Canary cheese? That poor bird!
Lots of tweezers involved I presume!
@@tfft silly sod ;-)
Wait, what?
No entertainment system??😞😞
Their longest flight is 2.5 hours... you'll survive lol
most narrowbodies dont have ife
And geniune leather seats, most people don't realise they're sitting on PVC in other airlines.. There is a big difference in comfort. Again, predicting, because obviously I haven't seen it, why are Indian airport security so full of shit?
Ummm… safety?

What's the difference between you paying for everything yourself as you always say and then asking for money paetron 🏡🤦🏡
The difference is he's not being sponsored by a country or airline, making his reviews more objective. Doesn't need to be fake positive because he's not getting a free ticket from the sponsor.
We're getting these reviews whether or not you want to donate to his Patreon.
He also basically doesn’t ask, he just says it’s an option. I happily contribute to it every month!
One style (sponsored by hotels/airlines) is creating videos which are one long advertisement- sometimes disclosed and sometimes not, honesty questionable.
The other style (mine) is a completely honest and independent video with an 8 second request that you support such (free and independent) videos.
Given how many videos are full hidden sponsorships these days, it still surprises me how put off people are by a few seconds of self promoting a small business which produces content for people to watch for free 😂
@@tfft as a New Yorker, you should be embarrassed calling your brief mention you have a patreon a “request” lol
