- Join my on Air Algerie on my (unfortunately) most disappointing flight. The product was much different than what was advertised, and made the whole experience much worse. The bright spot was definitely the brand new airport terminal in Algiers which was wonderful. Let me know your thoughts!

Excellent coverage and objective as always. Thanks Patrick!
Thanks! Glad you liked it!
Nice video as always!! Really like it too see these exotic airlines being reviewed 🙂 keep up the good work mate
Thanks a bunch! Appreciate it
I did the same
The cabin is so dirty!!!! No excuses for that. Thanks for sharing.
That's a shocker of a flight for business class ... the cleanliness ... can't complain about it, there is NONE ... and that food ... makes Air Koryo looks like haute-cuisine ... safe travels 🥂
YIKES! If I had a parachute, I would have used it 😝😝😝
Love it, yesss!! 🤣🤣
Thanks for this objective review & for flying this plane/route so we don't have to.
Thanks!
Algeria .never 😊
Excellent video. I'm glad that you were not arrested when taking the pictures in the departure hall. That shows that Algeria is evolving.
I haven't flown AH since decades, when it was a correct carrier.
Algeria being a rich country, Air Algérie being a public enterprise, they ought to have more decent airplanes.
It's a matter of governance not money.
New airplanes showing up should hopefully bring new life to the airline as well. It’ll be great to see and I hope to go back and check it out once that happens

Thanks again for a very informative video.
Thanks! Glad you liked it
incredibly informative! appreciate the clear explanations. Thanks' for sharing that's give us a clear idea about the company but i think there is no other alternative carriers that operate that same flight?
Air Canada does actually fly to Algiers as well, so you do have another option. Hopefully when Air Algerie’s new fleet arrives, they’ll be competitive again
Hey, very interesting video! Hopefully they start flying their newer wide bodies on this route soon. I would have been upset too flying on the one you were on. Did you need to get a visa to fly to Algeria or did you just transit through Algiers?
I did need a visa for Algeria, but if you transit, then there’s no need. I would think once their new aircraft arrive, that we will see the upgraded product on this route… or at least I hope
@@PatrickSheaAviation thanks!
For me, I recently flew the A330-200 to Algeria from LHR, it was so much better compared to the video and I’ve enjoyed the new variant cabin it was clean and refreshed, food wasn’t cold and the cabin crew were more interactive.
That’s good. I’m hoping to see a total revamp with the new aircraft arriving. I’d hate to see new A350s being neglected in the same way
@@PatrickSheaAviationt'inquiète en algeire c est avion était très propre les premiers années mais ils comence à devenir vieux les nouveaux avion puisque se seront des meilleurs avion il vont bien en prendre soin
Did they have in-flight entertainment?
@@davidbrown5628 Yea Ofcourse, they had lots of themes like live sports, movies, films and other things like that.
@@PatrickSheaAviation We all hope that. 😂
Excellent video If it right out Frankfurt Germany in Canadian French it's spelled as Francfort sur le Main which is where Air Canada 845 is coming from. Speaking of the air Algérie business class seat old version it is exactly the same as a Cathay Pacific 1990s Long Haul seat and the Regional Business class seats also Korean Air Prestige Class B737-9B5/ER pre retrofitted B777-300 like HL-7573 unless retrofitted to resemble the A321-271N. IFE screen is in your right armrest. I'm wondering which of the Legacy carriers in the United States still use this setup in the domestic fleet.
US CBP Stamp is MTL for Aéroport Pierre Eliot Trudeau provided you went back to California from Montreal via Newark Airport. For Canadians go to Montreal Airport to Florida they would simply drive to the US border Plattsburgh,NY or Burlington, VT that way they can simply pay the domestic price. There are 2-2-2 business class seats are flatbed example of these in California are the Korean Air Airbus A380 services. Also 2-3-2 flat bed seats SFO/LAX PR Mabuhay Class Korean Air Prestige Class B777-3B5/ER sleeper seats.
I know now to bring my own food if I ever fly them. That tray table is one of the reasons why I keep lots of Clorox wipes in my travel bags!
Same! Although I used up all the wipes in my bag and still didn’t fix the problem. It never fully went away…
The joys of traveling. Equipment swapping does happen, and it either elevates your experience or forces you to throttle back on your expectations. Ultimately, comfort (discomfort), good (bad), superior (inferior), etc, are relative to the individual and a matter of definition - most notably when there is no choice in the matter.
Omg I actually cracked up watching your video. I feel so bad for you but at least you arrived safe...
Travel is all about the journey… as good or bad as that journey may be 🤷♂️

The screen that you showed with the waypoints...is that an app that I can put on my phone, or is that a different system? I've ben looking for something like that for a while now. Thanks!
It’s ForeFlight. I use it for my flying for work
@@PatrickSheaAviation Thank you! I will look into it.
The people mover is actually called a mobile lounge. Aside from Dulles, CDG also had such large people movers for a long time, though I don't see them these days in any of the videos on RUclips.
Great video, I'm liking your content. Nice work!
Thanks! That’s interesting, I didn’t know they were at CDG
@@PatrickSheaAviation yep I rode in those a few times at CDG, back in the day. In '02 and '04 if memory serves me correctly. Quite large as well.
Tom Scott did a video about them a few months ago
I remember - I flew to Oran in 1987 , with a Boing 737- 200 .
Oh dear ..no one spoke english. Only arab and french.
I was 21 years old and going to visit my algerian boyfreind...❤ in Oran .
Nice video and fair judgement
Those headphones are actually used for the “music” channels. I remember AVIANCA’s 767s in the 90s using this system. They even play movies on the bulkhead TVs! 😂
Totally. Although the music and live ATC channels weren’t working on the seat controls
I only managed to watch 9 minutes of the video so far, YIKES! This was rough. No IFE for a 12 hour flight. I'm shocked, don't know why anyone would book to go on this. Thanks for trying it, I'll be sure to avoid.
Sad to see that most of flight reviews from North African airlines end up with so many negative points, especially about the lack of cleaning and cabin maintenance.
It’s the unfortunate truth at this point. I do hope the management can start to take some pride in their airlines with new airplanes and airports coming so that they can start a new chapter, as they have the culture and location to really offer a wonderful product
What do you mean north African airlines????
Do you know how many countries are in north Africa???
@@yosefzentino2268 I mean Tunisair, RAM, Air Algérie, Egyptair
Glad my love Tunisia Airline did not disappoint you this much.. I’m from New Zealand.. Hope you will come fly Air New Zealand if you haven’t already..I’ve never flown Air New Zealand, only United Airlines when they used to transit here, emirates and my most favourite Qatar..
I’ve never flown Air New Zealand but their SkyCouch intrigued me. Especially because of how expensive their business class can be
Another great review. I love your style and tone. I think when we travel as much as you you do we are sometimes spoilt with the service in premium cabins on some airlines. I too would be disappointed with the first meal it looked dry and bland but the pre arrival meal looked OK ish.. Seat wise being 6ft6 Id have taken its got to be better than economy view for width and legroom but I fully see how you can be disappointed with the cleanliness and shabby old/tired cabin. Have you tried Icelandair's Business class product across the pond? Its Premium Economy Plus id say price wise and service wise with a comfy business class seat, decent lounge in Iceland and free stopover programme on US-Europe Itinenaries
All valid points! I haven’t flown IcelandAir. I was supposed to but then Covid messed with my plans. So it’s still on my list
😂😂 I took recently a business class from Algiers to Doha, with the new seats cabine and it was amazing,honestly I was afraid to find those old seats too cause I know them
I am hoping they continue to install the new seats... I'll be back once the new aircraft arrive and *hopefully* will have better feelings about it after that
Excellent coverage. I never flew with Air Algérie business class nor have I ever been on such a long flight, but I'm actually quite surprised that besides the seat size, there is pretty much no difference between Air Algérie business class and economy. I'm pretty sure even the meal is the same.
How much did you pay for this ticket?
Good notes! This flight was around $800
As soon as Emirates started flying to Algiers from Dubai, my family and I directly started going on it since air algeire was bad
I came 5 days ago on your seats 3A 7T VJV and I am totally agree with you , I do this flight 5 time a year and It is always the same aircraft coming and going to algeria , the new one it is only for CDG, PKX, DXB.... I feel shame for my country because I know that they can do better, hope for the best but your video is excellent and objective.
Well I do hope that the new aircraft arriving will be a nice refresh for Air Algerie, and I look forward to trying those out when they arrive!
Any how I just started following you I love your content and when those aircraft come to Air Algerie , try it :) @@PatrickSheaAviation
superb mister
Thanks!!
Yikes! That whole flight felt like it was from hell! Thanks for review!
Recently when I flew with their new A330-200 variant, the quality was quite good and was much more different compared to him flying with the older variant.
Yeah i think people forget their experience with the same company gonna defer. Depending of did you get the old still fuctionning gear or new gear/renovated gear
Depending if you got good employees who take their work seriously. Or the bad employees who dont care about their job quality etc
Its the same about hotel. And everything else
I see you are not a fun of Algeria.
I recently flew Air Algerie's new 737-800 from Moscow to Algiers, the cabin is freshely new and its not dirty, seats are slightely enjoyable and the food is... Very delicious. I can say that some planes are a big catastrophe, including this one. Hope they will upgrade it soon. Thanks for the review Pat!
Glad you liked it! Thanks!
No problem!
Air Algérie tbahdila
I flew Their 737-800 a couple of time and they are even worse Air Algerie is a mess
@@steveohana6216those are from 2003-2011 ones quite old, but renewed in 2020
Adding to that. also they use the new retrofitted aircraft to doha , dubai.
all the aircraft of Air Algerie are dirty.
I think you are a much nicer person than I am. I would have been really mad to have to fly that distance in those seats and not have a bed.
+ the crew is catastrophic. The worst people you will see if traveling to Algeria are air algerie crew members.
@@user-nv9px2hy6b
Totally true, Algerian people
are naturally rude
Terrible configuration for business class. Thanks Patrick for your nice, simple and understandable video
Thank you! Now I’m waiting for their renovated business class to start showing up so we can see if they really do take this opportunity to improve themselves
Hey! What’s the name of the app you use to track your localisation ? Thanks
I use ForeFlight for that. I use it for work so I have the paid subscription to it. But it does come in handy at times on airline flights
Great video and beautiful photography from you. I also travel with Air Algerie. It is amazing ✈️
4:29 was there something called selecto for sodas? Cause If there was, you missed out on a lot
What is the device you were using to determine your position?
I use ForeFlight for my job flying at home, and it was able to help me with my position for parts of this flight
You must our Royal Air Maroc business class!! You Will like it !!
I have flown them economy class and it was wonderful. Still haven’t tried their business class however
It is the 737-600 which is a NG.
Don't want to imagine how economy class looks like, I usually fly with Air France way better product and experience!
The worse is that you pay to get disrespected by the cabin crew. It's way better to fly Air France or Air Canada.
I would have walked off the flight before it left. You are a better person than me
I had to give them a fair shot at least 🤷♂️😂
Wow! I bet there's worse. Relax
I think that was one of the 2005 a330s, cuz Air Algérie has 5 old ones and 3 newer a330s delivered in 2015, with 251 seats and 20 of them business class seats 💺, but the a330 neos and a350s coming in few years, we'll hop up a bit, but don't worry, even these old cabins are about to be changed, like the 5 737-600s that already started
What a disaster this country😮😮😮
@@brahimchaouki6328 yeah I know but whatever
It doesn't matter. If the horrible crew members don't get fired, Air Algérie will sadly remain trash. Today aug 4 I took the same flight and the crew was awful, just 3 crew members were working, the pilot was insulting passengers. I still hope one day this company at least gets better.
@@user-nv9px2hy6b yeah I know I just mentioned to him about the seats on ads, but still we take a step forward only to get further behind shortly after 😔
@@user-nv9px2hy6b anyways I do hope to get a chance to get out as well 😉
Nice footage! It's my first time running into your channel. Your video could really benefit form a higher quality microphone for the voice-over; there's quite a bit of echo. A simple, dynamic USB mic could be a great solution for you! Or you could record in an environment with more soft surfaces.
@MarkusTravels You'll find Patrick's audio better in his other reviews. I wonder if he had some difficulty rendering the video.
@@pcmacintyre I'll be sure to check out some others then!
You should try the Air Algérie a330 to dubai or doha route they use the new a330 not the old ones
I’m hoping to try out their A350s once those arrive. Then I’ll definitely get to see the new product
@@PatrickSheaAviation yes. As per airbus they will start delivering on 2025
As an Algerian traveler , I’m using Air Algérie most of the time .. and I can relate to your video and experience, but I can truly say that it’s dépends, sometimes you have also flight with planes much much cleaner and with plate much tasty . You had a pretty tough experience I can see, but trust me air Algérie worth better than that …
I definitely want to return once they have their new fleet and see how they renovate their brand. They could definitely do something special with it
Never fly with air algerie!!!
The buttons on the armchair was (before IFE) used to control different music chanels. That was the only onboard entertainment 😊
Oh yes! But unfortunately nothing happened with them on this flight. I was hoping to at least be able to listen in to ATC… I do miss when that was a normal thing you could do with these buttons
I remember that “IFE” in AVIANCA’s 90’s 767s. They even played movies in the bulkhead TVs! You could use the headphones to listen to the audio from the movies or change the channel to music by genres (In a pre-set, no skipping!) 😂
J espère que la direction d air algerie visione la vidéo plusieurs fois pour avoir un petit peux de motivation pour le changement dans la bonne direction
In Algeria we call That Airline Company Air Couscous
🤣🤣 love it!
At 15:49 What was the name of the GPS app?
ForeFlight
Would really love to know what that app you use is
ForeFlight. I use it for my own flying… but it works here too
This is what happens where people working in those planes (and for the company as a whole) are hired based on accountaince and not on skills and competence.
That is exactly the problem. Air Algerie jobs are among the most demanded and they go for connected people with no skills. Not only they have no skills, they also feel protected and can't be disciplined. Same issue for all big government owned companies, and that is why they run a deficit almost all the time.
Air Algérie ordered many brand new A350-1000 and A330neo aircrafts to renew its long haul flights fleet and also 737-9 max for short flights , so we expect much better in the future for sure…however they should have definitely refurbished the current fleet in the meantime, I mean it’s still operating!!!
Exactly. I think that was mentioned in the video. I am excited to try the new fleet when it arrives
@@PatrickSheaAviationI’d be pleased to experience it as well.
Im getting OCD just from looking at the seat. But great review regardless !!!!!!
Thanks! And totally… the seat is driving me crazy every time I see it
have you previously taken air canada for the same destination.
recently the air canada flight left 23 hours late, because the pilot had missed a connecting flight to reach algiers, and once airborne, the in-flight cathering service as well as the menu were deplorable
compared to what air algerie offers
That sounds horrible! But it is understandable as it’s not the easiest airport to get to, comparatively to other airports nearby
At least when you fly Air Canada you get acceptable service, clean cabin and good entertainment. I hope one day Air Algérie will stop being so terrible.
I am an algerien and it so true what u said , unfortnntly we all experienced this bad experience with air algerie 😞
Well I do hope the new aircraft will bring new life to the airline and I can’t wait to get back out to Algeria and try it out
Could you please précise that Air Algérie has three new cabines in their A330 being the 7T-VJA / 7T-VJB / 7T-VJC, which are no longer being deployed for montreal- Algiers. Please look at the cabines of these 3 aircraft registration. Also Air Algerie has ordered new air craft that should come in a few year.
Yes, I did mention that in the video. I am excited to get out there and try the new aircraft once they arrive
What a disgusting product they are offering!
They work so much better on their new A330-200, I recently flew on there and the quality compared was so much better, it was clean, food wasn’t cold and it was really enjoyable
Dirt has nothing to do with plane models. Algeria is ruled by a corrupt military junta and they use Air Algerie as a way to hire their relatives and pay them with hard currency. This airline has the worst crash record in North-Africa. Flying with them is a big act of courage.
@@karimboulman4036 wawwww crashes with AA. What a liar ??? What’s your proof and statistics ?

I do want to get out there once their new aircraft arrive and give a good chance to their new product
@@PatrickSheaAviationyou want the Max 9? Well it'll be new but a bit crowded more than -800's
@@abdelkadermehiz9407 I’m more referring to the A330neo and A350s
One of them is 7T-VKJ the one I took from Oran to Algiers, on my video 😁😅
@@PatrickSheaAviation yes the big boys ✈️✈️, can't wait to see them
As someone who works inflight catering (and an avid aviation fan who loves air travel), I guess I can safely say that the plane isn't as sanitised as it could have been 🥲 And as for the meal service, the tray set-up and main course didn't really look as pleasing as I expected for a business class flight. Awesome video, nevertheless. :)
Thanks man. Glad to hear the input. The plane and food definitely had a strange smell…
Hi Patrick what a disappointing and frustrating conditions you gone thru your Air Algerie long haul flight. I'm Algerian and never jump on Air Algerie flights when heading overseas coz deeply in my mind and in prior I know what disappointments I definitively will face if not aircraft interior conditions it will be flight attendents attitude and arrogance and food quality service. Air Algerie allows these disappointing situations with firm intention to strenghthen and root frustration into passengers bodies and minds. All Algerians are well familiar and hitorically experienced with Air Algerie service quality turbulances. Good luck.
That’s unfortunate. I would love to come back and try their new airplanes when they arrive in a year or two since I did enjoy my time in Algiers
The crew is definitely the worse in this trash airline
I bet this is still better than air peace
Chuck Taylor gang! 🤙
Totally! Although mine could definitely use a refresh… 😂
11:00
What's that yellow plane?
ASL airline france
What's the app you're using?
I’m assuming you’re referring to the map. I use ForeFlight. I have all my subscriptions for it for my job flying back home
If you need to be in the newer business class you should take abother route, like Algiers-Doha or Algiers-Dubai Algiers-Beijing, they use it more frequently in these routes
I do want to come back and try the new product, although I am a little confused as to why they don’t use it on Montreal, one of their longer flights
@@PatrickSheaAviation maybe for the density, they need more number of seats 💺, or just forgot to set it properly due to late execution or unrevised policies, I mean it's common for our country to set slow solutions or cover plenty of problems 😔😕, anyways whenever you feel like you can try it, I'll be waiting to see the review 😁😉
@@PatrickSheaAviation I have to say the cabins are also dirty and have little leg room when extended and small storage boxes, but the overall is much better than what you've been into, and the crew service and food quality adds more to the equation ofc ❤️
And, just like that, Ethiopian economy from Buenos Aires looks like a lavish excursion. The state of that cabin!! The mere fact that you ate what they served you in there... Sadly, I experience flights like this regularly travelling through Africa, India and China. And, however long these flights are, I usually keep my hands firmly in my pockets let alone have a meal.
Having said that, your trainers have seen better days.
These shoes have definitely seen plenty corners of the world… 🤣
can you give a comment about south african airways?
After he said a roach ran across his feet I screamed 😂 thats absolutely disgusting. They need to use their updated 330 for that route....false advertising
The worse is that they always make videos and pictures of nice crew members but once you get onboard you get surprised by how mean and unprofessional Air Algérie crew members are.
Yikes, that 'old' business class is something you would have seen 20 years ago (as airlines were moving to flat beds) - it's quite sad how some countries don't take pride in their state-owned airlines. The lack of cleanliness is revolting.
It does seem almost as if this airline is just stuck in the past. Here’s to hoping they can figure the mess out before they get the new aircraft

Try the Algiers Dubai or Algiers Doha flight and you will find the plane. You will find modern planes of this type. Thank you👍
I plan to come back once they have their A350s, but it still seems weird that one of their longest flights has these ancient cabins
@@PatrickSheaAviation
The 350 aircraft will enter service in late 2024 and early 2025 and will be introduced with a new and modern design. Thank you.
I would have NOT been happy - I went to look at prices and it’s about $1100 one way, about the price of an economy plus which is what that looked like….from 1992. 9 hours is a long ass flight in those seats. Better to just buy three seats in coach and spread out.
Totally, or just use Air Canada instead 🤷♂️. Or wait for the new fleet to arrive
Hello, do you mind share the App name please ? and if there any equivalent for Android ? thank's
It’s just the ForeFlight app. I use it when I fly for work. I’m not sure about android but it was designed mostly for Apple products
You might want to do next a review of Royal Air Maroc. Just to do a comparison between the three North African Airlines .
That one is definitely on my list. I’ve only ever tried their economy class, but it was wonderful
North African airlines just cannot compete with more innovative carriers such as Qatar or Turkish Airlines more committed to higher standards.
That’s very true, but that’s also not their market. They work more on point-to-point travelers. People will fly with them for the direct flight options at least
What a torture, I am sorry for your experience.
Non moi j ai voyager beaucoup beaucoup de foit ça n'a jammais était un torture car l importance c est d'arriver saint et sauf selui qui aime pas air algerie ou l algerie tout cours il vien pas c est le comportement typique d un français critiquer se qui appartient à l'Algérie

This Air Algerie A330 is old and has not been refurbished. Based on the check. It was manufactured in 2006.
Correct. They do have a new batch of A330s that are nicer and an order of new airplanes on the way. I guess we hope for better things
Algerian here. I admit our airline is shitty 💀
Ha! I’m holding out hope that the new fleet order arriving soon will bring a new look to the airline!
What a dump truck airline! Thanks for the warning
They need to change the management, logo, identity, inflight service and everything. I’m sorry to say this but I love Algeria as people and country and I want only the best for them.
I’m really shocked
It will take a lot…. Once the new aircraft arrive, I do want to go back and see if they’ve improved anything else by then. They’ve got a couple years to figure it out
Wait till you find out most flight crew out there smoke in the cockpit while on final approach 😅 Air Algerie needs some serious clean up.
Lol I know they still have that in some places. Different strokes for different folks I guess 🤷♂️
jeepers those canvas converse need a clean....
Yea join the rest of em… dirty chucks are a vibe though
I haven't been on one of those people movers in many years. But at IAD, they were called Mobile Lounges. I find it interesting that YUL and IAD still use them.
I personally like the stairs instead just because you get to be right next to these giant airplanes. But the people movers are fun to see for sure
How the airline is not embarassed to sell this product as business class is beyond belief... I have no words... This would also be honestly a horrible economy class service, let alone business... woow, speachless
Yea… it’s tough. Their new fleet can’t come soon enougg
Thanks for your report. Too bad the airline has a lot to work on. Your flight was definitely not an international business class offering worth exploring.
Agreed, unfortunately. Once they get a new fleet we will have to see if it’s gets improved at all
OK as in American Algerian here I cannot tell you how much Algeria pisses me off I flew in Algeria one time and I probably want to go back ever again they are just bad but hopefully with the new airplanes they will be better. I’m willing to give them another chance in the future, I prefer to fly Delta with a stopover in Paris, I definitely understand your frustration and I thank you for making this video to bring awareness to the problem
Because it's Patrick's coverage. If the same work was done by Mohamed, tons of critics will take place.
طيران القوة الضاربة ،🤣🤣🤣
quel cauchemar! (what a nightmare) such a gross n sketchy experience (the 'eau de vomit' tray table was def revolting, never mind the overall ambience of uncleanliness), so sad that this older model is what they've assigned for flights to YUL, at least you caught a nice view of MTL on descent (lightning n all) altho deplaning seemed like a royal headache. kudos for persevering thru that, you certainly won't catch me flying with them
Here’s to hoping the new fleet is way better 🤞🤞
Air Algerie should stop flying until it gets its act together. Just sounds like this was horrendous experience.
I traveled with Algeria Airlines twice, the flight was fine and the food was good and delicious, but unfortunately the plane was old and dirty, and the behavior of the flight attendant was bad.
That was a 737-600, we still have 5 of them which are the only ones worldwide besides Janet Airlines ones
Good to know. Exciting!
@@PatrickSheaAviation yeah 😅
Nice but how much did u pay??
This flight is about $900 in business class

I’m sorry. I almost had to stop watching. All that dirt! Thanks for taking one for the team. I hope you took a sanitising shower after that flight 😢
Oh yes… although I still had a connecting flight. But once I got home I couldn’t help but take a shower and wash it all off lol
