Air Senegal Airbus A330-900 Neo Flying From Paris CDG to Dakar DSS
Saya suka ikut kau untuk pergi ke Negara nepal.
Saya suka kalau kau naik pesawat Air Senegal Airbus A330-900NEO Terbang dari Paris CDG ke Dakkar DSS
Josh cahill, Saya tahu negara ukraina sudah di tutup, karena negara ukraina sedang melakukan perang Konflik dengan negara Rusia, Karena negara ukraina di tahun 2022 ini sudah menjadi negara miskin.
Correction: Air Senegal is not the only A330-900 operator in Africa. Mauritius is in the African continent and it's flag carrier, Air Mauritius does operate them mostly to my home airport, Johannesburg as well. Fun fact: Air Mauritius was the first African A330neo operator
Its true and I have been on that plane. In fact Air Mauritius A330neo was my first ever flight on that type. Somehow I always forget that the beautiful Island of Mauritius is part of Africa. Thanks for pointing it out!
Actually air senegal recieved their a330 back in march 2019 while air mauritius recieved theirs in april 2019 so air senegal was the first african operator
Air Mauritius also one of the few African airlines that operate the a350
That's a very smol continent, my dude 🤣
can wait to fly with them in September!
As a Senegalese myself, thank you for your honest review. Be assured, a lot of critics and clashes on Air Senegal's performance are being expressed in Senegalese forums, hopefully it'll help things improve for the benefit of travelers. As some mentioned here, a transparent recruitment and a professional management are critical if we don't want to see this airline disappear.
Le DG à été viré. J’espère que le nouveau sera meilleur
Regarding the cabin crew behaviour, i just want to add that I worked for airlines in Africa as Ground Staff before my QR journey and the hard truth about **some of them is that the cabin crew are the relatives of someone who has a high status in the airline or someone in Politics and they are "untouchable" if you complain about them. Thats why they dont care with the service. I heard this several times. So Josh.... like you say it... they just work as a cabin crew in order to be able to take selfies in different countries.
You are very much correct sir, they hardly employ passionate crew
Gosh, that's terrible but confirms what I've always suspected and seen, first-hand, with regards to poor performing, lazy, even aggro employees everywhere. They weren't hired off the street, but got 'gifted' the job by someone already working there. It's so hard (and often depressing) to find a job when you don't have connections, even if you're skilled and easy to deal with but esp. if you have little experience. Then all these people are given opportunities and they don't realise how privileged they are... Frustrating!
Yes fact
You are such a big liar sir 🫣
Guess that makes the hiring policy for pilots a bit scary. No way I am flying with them
That crew was shocking, In NZ they'd all be fired.
They would be fired down under also. Even Qantas Cruz are better than that.
I would have been so over that flight! I love your honesty! Hopefully they will improve their onboard service.
You treat people with respect and kindness. I appreciate that a lot.
Josh another fantastic airline review 👏. I am always fascinated by the workings of the airport and the aircraft. Keep the great work up, and thanks.
Great video I’m glad you did a trip report of my beautiful country Senegal 🇸🇳 putting us on the map ❤️🙏🇸🇳
I worked in the Peace Corps in Mauritania, 1978-80. Going to Dakar, the Big City was a big treat for us in Nouakchott. I really loved Senegal. The people were so friendly and eager to assist us. We also liked St Louis, and visiting the other volunteers down on the river. I remember swimming in the river with friends. Back then the custom was for women to cover their legs/ankles with a long skirt, but no covering of the breasts was needed. I swam and floated in the Senegal river in just my skirt and enjoyed myself. The best part was when I stayed with a Senegalese family, helping out and enjoying family time. I met large aand loving families. ❤
Great review of Air Senegal, Josh! Looking forward to seeing more of Africa through your amazing and informative videos - stay safe!
Thanks for your honest flight reviews.
@JoshCahill. When flying Economy, after take-off, my trick is always to move my backpack from underneath the seat in front to below my knee area....that way I can reclaim the space in front to fully stretch my legs while still having access to everything I want in my backpack. Depending on the seating, I will sometimes lay the backpack on its side so that it doesn't rub directly underneath my knee area...or sometimes I keep it upright to provide a bit of extra support for my legs...depends...but either way, this trick opens up the area underneath the seat in front to stretch your legs out.
Of course this is a solution when the seat next to you is occupied...otherwise, of course, I'll just put my backpack underneath that empty space, if it's not already been claimed by any other passenger in the row:)
Nice review on Air Senegal Josh👌🏻
Shocking to see Cabin Crews behaviour it's like as if they are been forced to work🤧
Great video! The boarding situation was indeed a bit funny, such lazy crew.
I absolutely love your videos!!! I can watch it all day long!!
Thanks for all your hardwork .
I’ve been to Dakar and it’s one of the most interesting and chaotic cities I’ve ever experienced. I actually loved it. The food was delicious the people were extremely nice and hospitable and I can’t wait to go back.
Chaotic in what way? If you don’t mind me asking
Hmmm Feb 24,2014
Just search a video on Dhakar and you'll see.
You should try the other aircraft, the one that belongs to Hifly, the crew is a mix of Air Senegal and Hifly. They are flying from Dakar to Baltimore through JFK.
Glad to see you flying in Africans airlines can't wait to see more Josh!!
Yess🤗🤗Josh is here😀😀love you and welcome to Africa 🥰🥰
Thanks Josh for the honest review. Air Senegal pls step up and improve. Your crew team need a lot of training.
Have just started watching ur videos from 2 months but have become a huge fan of urs ☺
Love from India 🇮🇳
Great review Josh! I really can’t wait for the Nigerian 🇳🇬 part of your tour!
I have been to the car and it is one of the most interesting and chaotic cities I have ever experienced. The people were extremely nice and hospitable, the food was delicious, the culture was fascinating and I can’t wait to go back.
*Dakar
As you stated already
Awesome video 🔥🔥👍
Great video. Look forward to more.
Hi Josh, loved watching your review as I had just flown Air Senegal on the same aircraft and route just 2 weeks ago, so was eager to see your experience. Like you I also loved the hardware, the brand new A339, really nice interiors and great IFE.
You should have chosen the fish meal, it was amazingly delicious, white fish with a creamy coconut sauce, I'd fly HC just to have that meal again. I found the chicken didn't look so good, maybe it tasted ok. In regard to the drinks service on my flight they did one before the main meal and one after.
I found the crew to be ok and to standard, the guy serving my aisle was very polite in fact, maybe a bit of French speaking helps.
The toilet situation on my flight was even worse, there was no water coming from the taps in 3 of 4 toilets that I tried, instead they put a big bottle of water in the sink! Of course the toilets were not kept tidy either. That was the biggest shock and let down on an otherwise very good flight.
North American or European airlines would not have left until the water issue was dealt with.
The hotel you were in looked so vaguely familiar, yess! it’s ibis. Such a lovely place with nice service.
Omg can’t believe you’re coming to Lagos, would love to see that!
Very nice video Josh. Despite the somewhat poor level of inflight service, at least the landing was smooth.
From London and go to Senegal often, have a stake in family friends business there, Air Senegal have planned to offer a direct flight which will entice me as i will longer need to do long layovers in Brussels or Madrid every time. This video scares me a bit. Wonder what they're like in the premium cabins. Prices on the route are always expensive in business especially on this route so worth to see if it is in any way justifiable.
The joy of seeing Uganda Airlines on the list is amazing, however, it's time you visited us again and see what the flight is like lest the delivery flight but also the service beyond the expectation of the crane to the world. we welcome you to Uganda onboard Uganda Airlines.
The crane to the world? Huh?
Hey Josh from the past: this war is very bad, and what you said was an understatement. There will be major long-term consequences for all of Europe. ☹️
Yes. One of my fav destinations!
Sad to see the national carrier of Senegal being such a let down 😒
Awesome video 👏👏. I will love to fly with them on the a330neo😃
Josh: The loo and the service, eeewww, that represent your country's airline, it is embarrassing..
The crew: WHAT DO YOU WANT?!
great video,like the cabins and a330neo
You are very adventurous! I have not been to Africa at all. I would love to go on the Blue Train one day, but it is rather expensive, to say the least!
Thank you for the video. Have an amazing week!
Thank youuuuuuuuu for coming into my country 🇸🇳🇸🇳❤
Josh Another great review . Oh dear the Ham sandwich looked a little sad then the awful loo conditions at that point I decided not for me .
Dude, that Ham Sandwich look like it was on its last legs!
@@michaelreid8857 it looked like it had clocked up a few hundred hours lol .
@@michaelreid8857 Yeah, I would look at that and back up slowly. Truly the worst looking food I've ever seen on a plane.
@@michaelreid8857 That sarnie needs reporting to trading standards.
It wasn't even ham, some kind of baloney
Dear Josh I am sorry about the poor service of the cabin crew, naturally Senegalese are very fun filled people, their negative attitude boils down to how they were recruited and trained,such crew are often employed by connections and not by passion
Anyway Dakar is such a beautiful city with a lot of interesting places to visit, how I wished you lodged at the King Fahd presidential palace hotel Dakar,you would have enjoyed the best of the beaches and a lovely visit to the slave port island at Goree
King Fahd hotel is dated and leaves a bit to be desired. It was once the pinnacle but no longer. The area, Les Almadies, is still very nice though. There are several nice hotels which will cost about $120/night and less in Almadies: La Residence, Yaas, and L'Adresse. They are all very decent. Yaas is more of a business travelers hotel with small rooms but clean and all amenities needed for a short stay. La Residence is more of a private boutique hotel with several rooms and is located about a 200 yards from the ocean front. L'Adresse is new and owned by the same French owners of La Residence. L'Addresse is a full fledged modern hotel. There are many smaller hotels and air B&B's in Almadies and surrounding areas. Nice restaurants and coffee shops as well.
What corrections can be made? If such attitude doesn't change, hey Air senegal is on its way to a 3rd shut down.
Excellent video!
Fly Proflight Zambia from Johannesburg to Mansa (the leg from Lusaka to Ndola (Copperbelt)/Mansa is a cute small plane (50-seater Bombardier CRJ-200)
I find it fitting Green Lantern was on the IFE, with Hal being a Test Pilot.
I flew around west Africa on Air Afrique and was very interesting then .
This was so interesting to watch ,welcome to Africa josh 😁😁
Hopefully someone in management take some action regarding the crew quality.
Very nice review...
No boarding music also means no copyright issues.
It’s 5:03 am here in NYC! Lol
Hope you are ok mate love your video
starting liking your videos
Looking very nice..Continue to be safe...
Great video. Hope your grandma is ok.
I love your videos ❤
Thanks for the warning!
Great video Josh as always. There are a few french everyday words i think you should know by now as a frequent traveller e.g merci (thank you), oui (yes), excuse moi (excuse me pls) e.t.c. A few of these would have made your day much easier...btw be ready for more high air tickets cost flying to Lagos and within Nigeria due to the shortage of avaition fuel. Many local/domestic airlines will charge high ticket prices just to make some decent money. Be very careful boarding cabs as well but Ubers are pretty safe...
For what it’s worth, I have been told by my GF who lives in Lagos. That the Aviation Fuel situation he’s improved.
However, we are talking about Nigeria and anything can happen!
Well said when it comes to your feelings josh,that’s y I love your channel,honest and straight to the point,you must have a bit of aEnglishman in you lol,keep giving us these reports and keep chin up buddy 👍
Just subscribed 😊
Hey Josh, how do you handle the water situation in AirBnBs ? I always stay when I´m in Africa in a Hilton/ Marriott or co, because there the tap water is safe to drink und wash.
My advice to you is, you can buy quite a lot of bottled water and other beverages with the difference in price!
Josh, if you gomto Kenya, make sure you go to Nakuru. It's near Nairobi, and it's a wonderful city. My adopted brother lives there. I would love to go to Kenya and see him!
I hope your grandmother is OK, Josh. This is such a terrifying situation.
20:50 - waiting for whattt? :D seems like an interesting Air b&b
Welcome to Dakar bro i want to see u for pics
hey josh will you finish reviewing all the north african major airlines ?
Hello josh
Looked like Delta flight from Cleveland to Atlanta
Your report on Air Senegal is honest : Great plane,great food but terrible crew.
I'm looking forward to watching Air Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast is a country i want to visit).
And yeah I've been once In Senegal (Last year) but we lodged at Saly. I've travelled with Air France.
I got excited see this josh i fell asleep 😆 was only 2 minutes in lol 😆 just finishing now i do like outside paint on that plane
I have a bit of a story on the Arab Spring in Egypt.
I was on holiday vacation at Hurghada (Corendon B738). As it turns out, we got back home a week before Egypt was thrown into turmoil. Quite fortunate that we didn't book another week.
I have been there. I lived there when I was young.
Hi Josh another great video. It is a shame that the crew on this flight were so lazy and rude, I have seen several online reviews of Air Senegal many complaining of lost luggage and rip offs.
Will like your review about jet airways after its relaunch
Thanks for this vlog. Safe and happy travel. Ciao. 2022.
What is that website you told in between the video at 4:30 for checking flight load?
Crew hiring isn´t just looking of candidate papers and outlooks - and when crew doesn´t perform their tasks, its always management issue. Simply its not just laziness of cabin crew, I think its telling something about company in general, and how it works - or more about competence, working morale, doing your duties, what ever your position is in company.
Simply Aviation also did a review on Air Senegal from Paris to Dakar 3 years ago on the Airbus A330-900neo, so this airbus on Air Senegal is actually not new,same with the cabin, anyways,Great Review!
Wow 😍
I am not a traveller at all but I love your videos
The whole "crew was offended to work" mentality is the worst. I was on a small regional jet for a domestic US flight and the two cabin staff members did the safety demonstration and then didn't bother coming out. I went to ask for some coffee, and the behavior was like me asking something was personally offending them.
Another great review👍🏼! Honnest and genuine as usual. So it seems that reviews of Nigerian airlines are coming soon... can't wait!!!
You know what Josh? If you would have been French I would have voted for you tomorrow for the presidential elections😉.
Nice video
M y sympathies and condolences for your compatriots losses. I am assuming even relatives could possibly be involved too. Shame what aggression loses than gains. I hope you will continue your career and hobby. Best
Good video
That air france 777-300 was moving fast
hi Josh i wanna say that you should do a review for Korean air one of the best airlines to me and Korea just lifted restrictions in Korea and i love the flight attendants. when i was little they held me so my mom would get rest. really nice clean and good covid precautions and good food
reply anyone if you agree
Dress for destination indeed, me too. I'm lucky that I'm 2 minutes walk from my nearest tube station and the Picadilly line then takes me in 35-40 minutes str8 into LHR, so not much weather exposure.
Question Josh, you came out of an Ibis this time, you have preference for any brand or group, or are you location and or rate driven ? Besides the African airb&b choices ?
Some weirdo's can be nice ! Lol they may look at you Josh and think "OMG a vlogger!" hehehe
Agreed, even if the hard product is great, a rude and non-proactive crew can create bad wrinkles. Curious if the airline will respond to your review, I hope they do.
Thanks for sharing your travels, bon voyages.
Hendrik.
I don't have loyalty with any hotel brand tbh, I always just try to find the best deal. Luckily CDG has a lot of airport hotels so its rather easy to find one.
2-4-2 seating 👍
Thanks!
Wow thanks for the support!
Josh seen several videos of yours and currently in Turkey so of course notice your gate next to Turkish Airlines, do you have video on rating them?
Will you be traveling through South Africa at all on your trip Josh?
You should try air Maroc
12:00…. So true. You watch the hot people pass you by as you hope your seat mate won’t be a disappointment. They need to have a system whereby you pick your seat based on passengers photos at the time of booking. Sort of a “Gate Grindr” 😈
With my face I would always sit alone😃
Your opening comments on 'Africa rising' are very appropriate and spot on. 👍🏽 Look at what's happening in Europe, hope your Grandmother in Ukraine is ok.
Bravo air Senegal
My sister begged me not to fly to Europe (Especially my Blue Air flight to Bucharest and my dad offered to reimburse me for the canceled hotels/flights.)
I went anyway, but left Bucharest to Madrid on Ryanair later that night. (They don't have to know *how* I got to Madrid, unless they find my TikTok)
My August vacation will *definitely* involve a stopover in Sri Lanka though.....
PS: Air Senegal's cabin service reminds me of Vistara......
Air Senegal were supposed to start flights from Dakar to London Stansted in 2020, using an A321 NEO, but alas Covid put a spanner in everything.
Air Senegal needs to seriously " up their game" regarding the (lack of !!) any customer service. The attitude of that cabin crew stinks. Sounds like some serious disciplinary action needs to be taken, with sackings if necessary. NOT a good advert for Air Senegal !
Herzlich willkommen in Senegal
I have to fly from Istanbul to Riga LV in August. Currently Turkish Airlines makes a wide loop around Ukraine and Belarus which ads 30 or more minutes to the flight. Hopefully by august there wuill be peace.
