Josh Cahill: Im a Nurse and l handle people's "baggage" every freaking day!! Does that count😅😅😅 May not be physically demanding but it sure as hell is mentally! Hi from Melbourne Australia ☺
My flute gets me into trouble. No matter where I am flying out of or going to...
Pls do a qatar airways 380 first class
Great work.Charming man.
Josh Cahill please try Bulgaria Air
10 out of the last 10 flights, I've had someone sit in my reserved seat. I either remove them myself or ask a crew member's assistance... They always have that "why is it so important to you where you sit?!" look on their faces... they spend the rest of the flight with a frown after being shooed off the window seat :D. I took the time to reserve it, you didn't.
@Dexter M. - That's why I reserve the aisle seat.
Mohammed Salah I agree, if you have reserved your seat you should get your place. Most of the time you pay upfront to reserve, why should someone who has not paid take it?
Been through that as well :P
And even if your seat is given to you randomly for free while doing your online check in without paying any extra - that’s the seat the company gave you so you sit there. Any douch bag sitting there basically will have to move . People behave worse m than animals these days . Hopefully it will change .
I’ve worked at check-in, loading, de-icing, Ops, flight dispatcher and now for the past 13 years as Captain for a UK airline. Love your videos - keep up the great work 👊🏼
Healed by Jesus?
It’s unfortunately that you haven’t flown the new EgyptAir aircrafts, those are amazing!
I took a flight on Egyptair from Istanbul to Cairo and I found them pretty good - comfy seats, nice food, free newspapers and baggage allowance. Also the terminal in Cairo was quite new.
Thanks 😊
I had quite the opposite actually, food was decent though
@@yassinhamza05 omg hi your from the other vid.
@@Mohamad_2310 heyy haha
Same I took Egyptair flight from Paris to Cairo and I love them, food was good, flight attendant was nice. I feel safe when I fly with them ❤️✈️
If a blanket is not inside a plastic bag, I definitely stay away from. But then again, I've found hair on blankets even when it's packaged.
@@tariqu2050 what type of chocolate. If it was Galaxy then I'd have had to eat it
@@ltd1980 bruh
So what do you do in hotels? You do realize those sheets are constantly being reused and not washed every time a guest leaves....
@@tariqu2050 , Are you sure it was even chocolate? Someone probably wiped their ass with the headphones and put them back in the plastic bag. 💩 😨
@@mrc6182 If you want a clean blanket, bring your own. It's funny how people open their mouths without knowing how things work.
Blankets in economy class in most airlines are not cleaned after every flight. Instead, they are cleaned periodically. The fact that a blanket is in a sealed plastic bag is no guarantee of it having been cleaned. Most airlines repack used blankets. I don't use blankets in flights. Instead, I layer clothing, putting on and taking off the outer layers depending upon the temperature.
good idea
Where’s your proof of that?
Hey Josh!
I’m working as a loader at Dortmund Airport in Germany. It’s not a big airport, but due to the fact that we have no containers we have to load and unload every baggage by hand which could be very hard sometimes, even for a small airport.
Greetings from the Ruhrpott!
weird flex but okay
Dusseldorf airport was nice but bathrooms needed a bit of maintenance. Greetings to Germany.
It's a pity you had a bad experience with Egypt air. I work in the Middle east and I use Egyptair quite a lot on international flights, once was to America, also I've visited Egypt 3 times and used Egyptair on domestic routes.. Not disappointed once.
11:12 Uh oh, that fly got in for free! Should have alerted the flight attendants lol
Folded blanket in plastic wrap dosen't guarantee that it was santized 😂
Kazemi Groove fuck your
@@sherifkelada9396 i think we got a butthurt Egyptian here lmao
@@avgeek_0307 lol
Haha, this video made me chuckle as Egypt air was like that when I flew them a few years ago going Sharm El Sheik to Cairo. Safety video shown as we were literally charging down the runway. Couldn’t stop laughing about it & my mate who is an air steward for BA, couldn’t believe what he was witnessing! How funny it hasn’t changed!
I used to be a baggage handler at Phoenix Sky Harbor PHX for America West Airlines (HP). Hard job but great at the same time! Really enjoy your honest reviews.
I used to be a baggage handler. Physically demanding, but I absolutely loved that job.
Wow Egypt air for real I don’t expect that thank you for your notes
I have learnt to expect the worst when flying. I nowadays always have low expectations. If the flight overall turns out to be nice or even mediocre , it's all good :)
Air travel 101: always carry your own blanket and a neck pillow. You don’t know when the airline blankets were last washed.
Neville Billimoria definitely agree with you, I lie to bring a travel towel which folds up tiny and doubles up as a blanket
nonsenese
Back in the late 90’s I had a Saturday job working in a small laundry near LHR. We washed an airlines blankets and repackaged them afterwards and I’d hate to tell you the state of the blankets and what was found inside them !
Good review, but one question...why would you use the pillow after you saw what they did with the blankets?
Planning to fly on Egypt Air soon, thanks for the insights!
This is why I bring my own blanket. Even wrapped in plastic, no guarantee it's been thoroughly cleaned. And like you said, Josh, no idea what anyone's been up to, if they're sick, etc.
Hello Josh, newer subscriber here. I'm a ramp agent for a major US airline. I've been doing it for more than 15 years now. It's a fun job but the work does wear your body down slowly but surely, especially over time. It's very common for people to get injured on the job. If you like being around airplanes and having a good workout lifting bags all day, this is for you. The free flying benefits are a plus too if you love to travel.
I hate Egypt Air for my own reasons, I don’t recommend it AT ALL... bad service, lack of equipment/entertainment and rough flights. The only thing I liked was a foot rest. As a person who has slight motion sickness, Egypt Air was the worst of all of my flights and I’m a quite frequent travel from South Africa to Morocco. Even though Qatar has some (minor) issues I would still 100% recommend Qatar over Egypt Air.
Hello! I am Egyptian who travelled a lot on Egypt air I would tell you that Egypt air may have high ranked pilots global level but this might be the only advantage of Egypt air as everything is is horrible
Thank you Josh. Your reviews helps me a lot in selecting airlines for my travels👍👍
I work as a baggage/ramp agent at YSSY/SYD Airport!!
@@mattm4497 hahaha thanks!!
Josh: Looked it up on your Boeing 737, it is a Boeing 737-866 (800 Series) and it is 7 years old. So, not that old.
And used blanket, yuk!!!! That is all I can say! People sneeze into it, I have seen people clean their mouth etc. Never will even touch it.
I like ur unbiased reviews like this
Fun fact: Egyptair crews have goon on multiple strikes due to the conditions of the cabins and the aircrafts but to no avail
This is an old Egyptair product, you should try the new seats on the 737-800 NG and the 787-9
You are right, but still...an old aircraft doesn't justify the messy cabin! And those blankets...
Cleanness and hygiene have nothing to do with how old the aircraft is. These issues would continue even if Egyptair has a full fleet of A380!
The blankets!!ABSOLUTELY not OKAY!! .. I’ve always wanted to experience Egypt Air,they do have some good products flying to Cairo from Beijing... well,it seems that I don’t have to torture myself..thx
I love your job!
I've been loading planes for 22 years so far in Phoenix Arizona
I flew Egyptair last week from Hurghada to Cairo and back.
When we departed Hurghada…..no safety instructions……nothing 🤷🏼♂️
When we flew back to Hurghada (in the dark) all cabin lights stayed on during takeoff and landing, and after the plane stopped, the door was opened, the stewardess made the call to remain seated untill the aircraft came to a complete stop 😁
I used to work for SAS Ground handling at Arlanda!
I would not use the blanket. Lice, scabies, bad smells - sky is the limit! I only use them if they are wrapped in plastic (which at least suggest they have been washed), and then only if they smell "fresh"! I rarely use them anyway, because I can never sleep in economy class. On my rare long flights in business class, the blankets seem ok.
In the old days, before blankets were wrapped in plastic, the air hostesses handed out blankets individually, only upon request. In my experience, they were always clean.* After a flight, they were not left sitting for the next passenger.
*Edit: An exception may have been Garuda Airlines, HNL-DPS, 1991. Also notable: "Breakfast" at 3 am DPS time, high above New Caledonia, was a very sketchy shrimp cocktail. On the plus side, we stopped unexpectedly at sunrise on a tiny Melanesian island called Biak, where a group of children & teens sang a pretty song for us. I have no idea why we stopped. We got out, sat in the grass by the tarmac for an hour or so, and got back on. The children were mysterious.
Don't worry about NOT using the blanket, I wouldn't use Egyptair full stop
Drop Bear: Lol me neither!
Especially after flight 804
@@madingwang7778 Other airlines had accidents too. Most of them were from American Airlines not Egypt Air, Hi Alligiant Airlines.
Great Video Man!😎
Actually based on my experience Egypt Air is a very nice airline , very warm cabin crew and good food
Another Proof that Josh is a Brave-Heart.
Anyways a Great and a Fearless(😂) review!
Thankyou Josh. This will be another airline I will not use.
Congo for 500k 😂❤️
I flew Egypt Air from Hurgada to Cairo, and it was a pretty good ride, the safety video was played while we were taxiing and I was given some juice, but I flew with them this autumn, a lot has changed since 2019.
you are right Josh. Life is not always rainbow and sunshine. Keep up with good work !!
Blankets on flights are always filthy. I do not even want to know how often they have them cleaned.
I arrived at Heathrow on a flight from Cairo. The B777 stopped several metres from the gate. At this, a lot of passengers stood up and started taking bags from the overhead lockers. Seat belt signs naturally stayed on. The cabin crew said nothing! Then the plane moved its final few metres and shut down. No one batted an eyelid. Shocking!
What a blast from the past! I flew EgyptAir as a young child in the 90’s, back when there was smoking and non-smoking sections (made no sense because the whole plane filled with smoke regardless 😂). I have fond memories of yummy food and a nice crew who gave us games and colouring sheets to occupy our time.
I will not be flying Egypt Air again. Aircraft too old; arrived in Cairo 10pm local time on transit from Accra; waited 3 hours to be taken to hotel and got into hotel room at 3am. Arrived in London Heathrow and bags from Accra didn’t arrive. Waited 8 days for bags to be delivered.
I myself dont work at an airport but both my mum and step-dad have worked at Brisbane airport (BNE) for 6 years my mum started off as a baggage handler and now refuels aircraft and the same goes for my step-dad (Thats how they first met lol) anyways greetings from Brisbane!
I bring my own blanket.
One of my work colleague's friend works at Toronto Pearson international airport as a baggage handler. He said you gotta be fast and get as many bags through as quickly as possible. He said in all honesty that his friend told him they just chuck them around and don't take much effort in handling with care. As per him you should never place fragile items inside checked luggage if it can be helped
Hotels reuse their blankets all the time..... You don't always get new sheets, so idk about the blanket situation....
Hello Josh! Baggage handler at LAX or what we call ourselves, “Fleet Service Clerk”. Bags are getting bigger and bigger and heavier!! A lot of my coworkers do get injured from the heavy lifting!! What makes it harder is that some of the bags are marked “FRAGILE!” but it’s not only a job, it’s also a hobby because we all like airplanes!! BTW, I wouldn’t use that dirty blanket!!! Too much DNA on them !!!! I can tell you some gross stories of what people use them for!!! Love your videos!!!
My apologies, I asked you in a previous video to review Egypt Air; you already did! I like how you choose not to battle with the lady that took your seat. As odd as it may sound, you thought me an important lesson; not all fights worth fighting for.
Ahah thank you for the review! I will be on egyptair 787 soon! Most probably business class
Love your videos!!! Just discovered them keep them coming!!!😁😁😁😁😁
As a baggage handler or line men , i can confirmed its a tought job.Your outside by any weather ,cold hot rainny sunny ... have to lift or move heavy equipment and yeah move a lot of baggage but damn its a fun job and a privilage to work with airplanes.
I flew Eqypt Air two years ago and they were smoking in first class. I thought it was 1975 and couldn't wait to breathe some sand.
I'm sorry about what happened, btw these days smoking in the airplane is a crime so don't worry 😊
@@yassinhamza05 You're a sad shill. Get a life.
chancy319 ayy be nice u butch
Don't assume that a blanket has been washed simply because it is in a sealed bag. Most airlines usually fold the used blankets and repackage them to make them appear as if they've been cleaned.
I am a flight attendant and thats very unhygienic. If it cost an airline too much money for replacing the seats with new blankets on short haul thru flights they shouldn't even bother giving blankets if they are not clean.
1:45 She was almost as bad as the SpiceJet guy...😂😂Lol...
Not anymore but yes I did work as a ramp agent. I worked out at Dulles Airport in Washington DC . I worked for United Express.
I have worked as a baggage handler. I was on the ramp for 10 years prior to my current job. Started as a contracted handler, then went to the airline I currently still work for.
You Should Try Them Again,
...On A Newer 737, Like SU-GEL With FANTASTIC SEATS, Personal IFE And More
I think hygiene is intensely important!
My bedding has always been white so I can see how clean it is!
Cheers everyone
CANNOT believe they re-used the blankets between flights !!!
Bollywood Media u re so funny really , if u tried Emirates Etihad us the same as well , or u think they re buying new blankets for every new flight !!! Omg Indian mind 😫
EgyptAir is one of the best and safest airlines in the world. Egyptian pilots are the best and I have never had any issues with them
I flew EGYPTAIR many times when I was living in egypt it wasn’t so catastrophic. It’s an African airline after all. Delta & AA are much worse considering they should have western standards.
381mamadou hmm no. Middle eastern and Asian airlines are wonderful.
381mamadou Maghreb does not include Egypt. no matter your sentiments for Egypt or egypt air, it is the second largest AFRICAN airline and the third African country by population.
It is dangerous to make assumptions about strangers or comparing things you do not know. Being a steward doesn’t mean you flew many airlines.
South African has an old fleet, its in and out of bankruptcy and it does reflect on the service. Ethiopian is a step above Egypt Air and it has a decent modern fleet though a terrible excuse of a hub and well below par service, catering and entertainment. Kenya is also fairly bad, unorganized like it’s run by amateurs.
None is on their way to even get close to the likes of AF, Lufthansa or British and not even by a wild stroke of imagination nearing the highest standards of Emirates, Etihad, Qatar, Singapore, Cathay, Ana, Qantas..
Africa is a beautiful continent that has such diverse offerings from the north to the south and from east to west but it serves no one to deny the state of things even in the tourism industry as a whole.
@381mamadou DEMONS EXIST AND THEY HATE HUMANS SINCE ADAM AND EVE SAVE YOUR SOULS THEY ARE PROFESSIONAL DECEIVERS AND MASTERS OF EVIL. HELL IS REAL DONT LET THEM MAKE YOU THEIR VICTIMS.
DEMONS EXIST AND THEY HATE HUMANS, IT IS TRUTH THEY HAVE BEEN AT THIS WORLD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS. JUST GOD LOCKED THEM HERE CAUSE OF UNTRUSTWORTHY BEHAVIOUR DISERESPECT AND THEIR HATE OF HUMANS TO BE THEIR PUNISHMENT,CAUSE HUMANS ARE MORE CLEVER THAN WHAT DEMONS THOUGHT.
AFTER ADAM AND EVE THE WORLD HAS CHANGED CAUSE GOD MADE HUMANS AT HIS OWN IMAGE AND LIKENESS AND THE TRUTH OF THEIR HATE LIES IN THE RELIGIOUS BOOKS OF THE WORLD.
CHECK THE HISTORY OF THE WORLD FROM THE PROPHECIES OF THE BIBLE TO THE FAKENESS OF THE QURAN CAUSE SATAN AFTER CHRISTIANITY WANTED HIS REVNGE SO HE MADE HIS RELIGION WHILE CORRUPTING THE WORLD. SEARCH WALID SHOEBAT ON THE INTERNET AND LEARN HIS STORY. READ JOHNS REVELATION FROM THE BIBLE CHECK WHAT GOES ON IN THE WORLD AND LEARN HOW TO SAVE YOUR SOULS CAUSE THE WORLD IS OF HATE.
IF YOU ARE HOW THEY WANT PROBABLY YOUR LIFE IS NORMAL AND IF YOU CHANGE THE SPIRITS OF HATE START THEIR HATE. SAVE YOUR SOULS.
SEARCH DAVID LYNN AND WALLID SHOEBAT. MUHAMMAD WAS DECEIVED BY SATAN PRETENDING TO BE GABRIEL.
THE QURAN IS THE REVENGE OF DEMONS.
Gianera John the only time I had my baggage damaged was on a Lufthansa flight! I have flown Ethiopian and other African airlines over a hundred times.
One thing never to take through airport security and that's skipping rope because my cousin went through security when we're coming back from the Gold coast and she got her skipping rope confiscated
I am glad you did this airline. I have not flown them even though I am in the region. I pretty much stick with Saudia, Emirates, Etihad, Lufthansa, British Air, or Air France.
So where do you live??
British airlines are declining they were so good! Egypt air is only good on long haul flights
Love your videos Josh
Last year I'd traveled with Lufthansa from Cairo and my seat was stinking very bad.
As far as I see Egypt Air looks much better than most Europeans Airlines.
Hi Josh, I fly fairly frequently with Oman Air ZRH-MCT-BKK and I take small 1:400 aircraft models too Bangkok for sale. Everytime I have to open my handluggage at MCT so security can look at the models.
Hey Josh I used to work as a baggage handler. Great job for a plane enthusiast.
Dude you touched the gaspers (personal air vents above your seat)! When do you think they were lasted cleaned?... the blankets cannot compete with the potential germs on the gaspers... :)
Ps keep in mind! Egyptair stafety video is played first in arabic then in english to it takes time, and taxi way was clear and quick
Maro Production still no an excuse
@@hadiesmaeil5975 yh but on long haul flights safety vid is always played, crew is always nice! And have tried 777-300 Er 787-9 and A330-332 and the A330-200, have tried all of them and the safety vid has always been played during taxi and was finished before take off!!
Newsflash. That blanket you have in the bag was more than likely folded after passenger use and, put in bag. Most blankets in flights are 🤷♀️
Flew with them in 2011 from joburg to cairo and they played the safety video while taking off then too (and a fellow passenger had to close the overhead bins because the crew didnt lol)
Hi Josh! I work as an airline staff in New Delhi. We have a tough time my friend!!
I have a bunch of titanium and screws in my right wrist that set off EVERY metal detector. Without fail they do a visual check to ensure I have nothing up my sleeve...
I use Egyptair for long years after trying other airlines. I can confirm that this one is the best of what I tried, although they were very famous. You need to test the business class of B 777-300er for long flights like Cairo-Toronto (11+ hours), amazing from the lounge in Cairo terminal to the aircraft itself (high-level, clean, VIP service). Please check other airlines in the same category before criticizing this respectful airline by this cruel way and hateful smiles.
If it helps, I thought he was respectful. He did not discourage me from flying with Egypt Air at least. :)
It's not that bad. On Saturday I flew from Cairo to OR Tambo. The service was good and I had no problems.
Does it have a TV ? , the one from Cairo to SA
Finally , You Have tried them!
One of the best flights , I would recommend Egypt Air to anyone
Sadly all the airlines from the Middle East tend to use the older planes and the ones in poorer condition when they connect to Sub Saharan Africa. I remember many years ago flying Singapore Dubai then to Accra with Emirates, and the quality in the plane and service between the two flights could not have been more stark.
Used ro fly with Egyptair every year from Canada or England to cairo. Never had an issue and their boarding was always on time
I work as a baggage Handler for American airlines. I love my job. The only problem is the people you work with and the weather along with your heavy bags. Other than that I love my job and love working for the best Airline in the U.S and world.
Love the content♥️
Hey josh am an airport service manager at DXB
I flew Egyptair while I was on a tour of Egypt. Never again or only when necessary, for me. They were short flights, all on 737-800s. Cairo to Luxor, Aswan to Abu Simbel and back, and Aswan to Cairo. One of my seat would not remain in the upright and locked position. Windows were dirty. Front pockets were broken. The only thing I liked was the safety video.
Took a flight with Egypt Air from Toronto to Cairo, return. Got aisle 20 both times, trays were broken on both occasion. Had to use something to hold it together. Entertainment screen couldn’t open. Flights were full, surely @egyptair could spend some money to fix them? My flight from Luxor to Cairo was delayed for 5 hrs. I was chased by cleaning guy in Luxor airport to give him a tip for opening the tap and handed some tissue. He stopped only when I screamed NO to his face. Not anymore Egypt Air.
سافرت على متن مصر للطيران من اليمن الى القاهرة ذهابا وإيابا كان مستوى الخدمة متوسط والطعام أيضا ولكن الطيارين رائعين
OMG, I suppose passengers who have those blankets do not even know how much they have been used before them :( .
Anyways, keep up the great reviews Josh !!
I'm a podcaster, and I have a portable microphone stand which always gets me dinged at security. Even when I take it out and put it in the bin, it doesn't matter.
Will it be a problem if I bring my condenser mic with me ? and if not what happens? what is the process
Yes, that used blanket is absolutely disgusting. They may have the flu, the measles, god knows what disease. Ew.
Lice, Scabies Ringworm who knows what else?
CORONA!
I flew American Airlines a couple of weeks ago, after 2 flights on their A321NEO, the 737-800 felt very dated, fortunately it was a very short flight but it felt comfortable though
The blanket situation is horrible LOL BED BUG NIGHTMARE
Josh I was a baggage handle back in the 79's for Air California, which was taken over by American Airlines.
good work Josh
Another at Benina Benghazi International Airport where I was going for a 2hr and 30min flight to cairo and they stopped me because the were suspicious about my Diary of the Wimpy Kid, It's a book?!
