Love to see how much this channel has grown over the years but has kept one thing the same, the honesty in the reviews. Truly a rare thing today
correct, most of the others are just posting clickbait after clickbait unfortunately
how did u post this 3 weeks ago
@@PokeYTthe OP is a channel member so they get to see the videos a few weeks before everyone else
How long have you been following? I’ve been following since 2017/18
@@user-vz1wk1oi4sabout 2 years
I’d argue this is one of *the* most enjoyable videos on this channel. Cool airline in a lesser known country, very detailed, good and all and different flights and aircrafts…
Love the fact that you start the video in Incheon talking about air Premia and end the video by the plane parking next to air Premia!
I noticed that too, definitely a funny coincidence.
Paid actor 😂
‘We’re here to try everything not just the best seat’
Take that Non Stop Dan
Well, Dan is not quite „a man of the people“ (if you don’t get me, listen to the On-Air Podcast by Dan and Alex ;))
Dan likes soft product actually
I like Dan's content, even if he comes across as a bit entitled. He always said he's a soft product kind of guy and wouldn't mind Emirates 777 business class that people lambast all the time. If you want someone who I really struggle to gel with on aviation youtube, may I suggest someone whose initials are JC.
Im not a fan of knocing any other content providers//everyone is different
@@magnustan841Josh Cahill, well if you're talking about him then I can't disagree more. I love Josh's Trip reports the most and how blunt he is at reviewing airlines. Puts it just as is. Nonstop Dan on the other hand I've found to be more hard to like his vids over the years. Keep in mind I've been watching him since his early days in 2017
Suggestion. Fly Oman Air from Muscat to Khasab, no-one that I can find has done a review of the Khasab airport experience, it's the most amazing landing/takeoff, straits of Hormuz on one side and moutains on the other, you can even see Iran across the straits.
I’ve really been enjoying how every video has a voice over now. It makes the reviews so much more enjoyable. I look forward to every single Saturday
We always love a rant so you’re fine! An amazingly in-depth video.
Air Astana is very interesting, I wouldn't have thought a Kazakh airline could be so successful
Air Astana is half British owned. I think this investment is a huge part behind its expansion. Long may it continue
It was one of the few airlines that survived Covid without aid
WOW!! 3 Flights ! Man you are INSANELY GOOD.
fr
Been following your channel for a while but never mentioned this.
Your intro is the best intros among aviator channels out there.. Great job on that ND of course your brutally honest opinions on your flight coverings
Greetings from osloo,Norway
I agree, his intros are superb!
This was a great video, David! I watched the whole thing and it really didn't feel too long!
Hooray, part 2 is up! Been waiting for this since part 1!!
Excellent and definitely not too long. Thanks for all your hard work editing
Of course I watched to the end! It was great to be able to compare across all three flights in one video. 👍🏼
Fantastic video as always David!!
You explain everything with so much detailing. Just love it! Keep on with the hard work!
I watched to the end! :-) Good video, nice to see a niche airline doing the basics so well
So excited that I can see the newest video! 🎉❤
Made it to the end, and it flew (lol) by! Thanks for another great video.
Informative. The time flew by. Keep them coming. Appreciate the efforts .
Loved it till the end. Well done!
I love these type of videos!! I love all the details and the length :D
kinda relaxing arching your videos. Thanks!
I definitely watched to the end. I enjoy your videos so much. I don’t think you ramble, I think you fulfill your objective of being informative.
I did, indeed, watch all the way to the end, and definitely enjoyed it.
I love when David does the videos the videos never make you bored
lovely video and I stayed till the very end!
Watched till the end :D And obviously enjoyed it!
Really interesting video and yes stayed watching to the end 👏
watched till end. love your videos
Watched all the way through!! Loved it! Thank you :)
Watched it till the end. Loved it. Your reviews are always engrossing and engaging. Thank you.
I watched the whole video and I found it informative and very helpful thank you David.
Enjoyed from Start to Finish, thank you David!
Congrats for this long yet very interesting video about this great airline !
I watched the whole thing and it was amazing I remember the first video I watched from your channel, The Swiss C Series 100 from Paris to Vienna via Zurich and seeing how the channel has evolved impresses me!
One day will I get to do this!
I got the notification for this video right before I had to go to work this afternoon, so this was really nice to watch after a long shift. SCAT airlines sure sounds... interesting :) As expected, this was another great video from you. I'd love to go to Kazakhstan one day if I ever get the chance
I made it to the end - of both videos. I feel you did a fantastic job!
Great and honest reviews!
I thoroughly enjoyed this trip! And yes, I did watch clear to the end!
The longer and more detailed your videos are the better. This was very enjoyable 😊
you make me wanna book a flight with air astana now ! awesiome video david !! thank you soo much, well worth sticking around haha
Refreshing, complete, you took the time fully describe the experience, which is the entire reason for the channel in my eyes. Yes, made to the end, and yes, I enjoyed it. Don’t think for a moment about rushing through anything to shorted the time. Three flights takes a while. It’s all good
Excellent and you delivered!
I enjoyed the entire video. Great job
I loved the longer video and stayed until the end! Didn’t even feel time passing!
Super! Thank you!
I love these long videos, I love to fly and travel but am currently stuck in college, sometime I hope to experience these things also. Thanks for reviewing them!
13:42 😂😂😂 23:59 why is this channel so funny hahahaha
And yes I watched to the end, why wouldn't I, some of the best narrating on RUclips at this point! Great video, I hope you enjoyed your trip 🇰🇿
Every video I've seen about Air Astana has been really good. I'm really looking forward to visiting Kazakhstan as soon as possible.
11:00 This is the type of onboard service one enjoys so much, you wish the flight will not come to an end too quickly but should last a little longer.
I watched till the end. Excellent review.
always a good day when we get a simply aviation upload keep up the good work 🙏🏽❤️
Love your content especially brutally honest pls keep them coming we need more quality videos like yours
It Most Over 20 Years Since I fly On B767.Great Trip Report
I watched all the way to the end! David, I love your videos. Without a doubt my favorite aviation vlogger.
That shoeshine caught you off guard something fierce there. 😅😅 Great video!
Another excellent video.
The meals onboard Air Astana look so mouth-watering! Excellent reviews, David and Co.!
Thorough work.
I watched the entire video and enjoyed it all. You do high quality work focusing on the airline versus focusing on yourself like Josh Cahill does.
Great Detailed Video David. Solid in-depth Review done by you. Air Astana experience looks amazing from your eyes. I didn’t even feel the Video was long. It felt like I myself was traveling with you and enjoying the In Flight Travel Experience. Keep up the Good Work.
Great flight and review.
Thank you for that amazing review once again! The registration you mentioned in 3:28 is EI-KEB instead of EI-EKB (what you said :))
Excellent job David! KZR is indeed a fascinating airline.
Looks great tbh, might try them next time doing Asia - Europe routes
SCAT lives up to its name in every way imaginable. And they have had the only 2 fatal hull losses in Kazakhstan this century.
We can enjoy you rambling, so don’t worry, a lot of us stayed up until the end =] I prefer this type of videos so it was good to add another airline to the wishlist!
I wish every single video has voice overs
I don’t
I saw your flight from Seoul from my window))
very solid product, would love to try flying with them in the future!
edit: btw, is the Air Premia dreamliner in FRA is the same with the one in ICN? 😅
Love your honest reviews. For a flight suggestion, Lufthansa has non stop service from Frankfurt to here in St Louis Missouri.
If you've done SIA Business with their narrow footholes before, I wonder how you'd compare these Air Astana ones to those.
I'm quite impressed with the amenity kit in the final flight.
This in particular is amazing review
I did stick around to the end and enjoy this. I love your content. Did I watch it at a speed > 1.5? maybe 🤣
Great work!
The long awaited has finally come!
This airline needs more attention. It looks amazing and it would be super cool to fly in an Astana 767!
2 flights that I would recommend you fly and review are both on Korean air! 1st flight is aboard the a380 from JFK to Incheon and the 2nd flight is from Gimpo to Osaka aboard the 737 MAX 8. I’ve been on Korean air’s a380 before back in 2018 and in my opinion they did super great.
I watched the whole video too ;) Thank you, very nice. Dunno their pricing but the shown service looked very solid.
Very nice report! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thank you, great video.
My fascination with aviation in Central Asia only grew with this vid. I believe there are still Avros and Maddogs in Kyrgyzstan or somewhere around there, Noel made a review of those.
Of course watched and enjoy every second.
Loved the video…enjoyed all 35 minutes ♥️🫶🏻
I watched from beginning to end. Thanks for the great video. Also, I don’t mind the rants.
Your Chanel has made me love air Astana lol
Nice for sharing
I’m sure I can see why Astana are so confident of their airline, definitely one to look out for 👍🏻
Felt really long . However kept informative throughout 👌. Kudos for keeping the channel sponsor free. Slowly became a fan from fellow av geek.🤓
I love/prefer to fly business n higher. Cutting back on spending, I've grown to love P.E. class. Especially anything under 8 hrs. Keep up the great work. You're the best airline reviewer on YT. You fly all classes
Appetising food and a rare trip on a 767. Great seat pod. Really like it. 😊
Very good review and Air Astana is probably one of the most underrated airlines out there. The food looked very well presented and not far behind from Qatar, I would argue. Josh Cahill is a big fan of Air Astana and now I have watched this video I totally get it. I would love to try them as well one day.
Excellent review
Looking forward to the Iceland Air video. I was very satisfied with the SAGA class.
Excellent review of Air Astana David. After watching your review I will definitely try Air Astana when I have the opportunity to do.
Stuck out till the end of the video? That's a given thing David. I love your videos, you nail every small bit without ANY nonsense. Just the right facts, details and shots. Truly every video is a masterpiece. Kudos to the team. Salam ❤
Loved the vlog and would definitely fly Air Astana in any cabin
Watched the whole thing and enjoyed it.😃
Awesome 👌
