“You look like Kobe Bryant” “You look like Jackie Chan” All laugh and get along lol

Please note that Air Zimbabwe has a zero crash record. Staff are pleasant, the food is alright and it’s usually a smooth flight. The planes are old but new ones are coming.

I'm Zimbabwean. The warmth of the staff is definitely a big plus. Planes are a bit old but we're expecting some great positive growth. So the next time you come you will be even more impressed. We're excited about the future. God Willing.

I'm South African and Zimbabwe is our neighbour, to call their Airline the unsafest in the world is a horrible stretch. You never hear of Zimbabwean planes crashing, unlike some of the western and US airplanes. It's not fair to say that.

It amazes me how positive and lively he is. I thought at first it was because of luxury but now i can see its his nature. He has the ability to see good in everything. This guy is a sunny soul. I love it.

Its the most unsafe but has never crashed in 39yrs

Food for thought: Air Zimbabwe is so unsafe that their only crashes were in 1978 and 1979, when their planes were shot down by missiles; if not for those incidents for which they can't be blamed, they'd have a perfect flight record. They seem to possess a better track record than so many "safe" airlines.

Flew from Harare to Vic Falls many years ago. Lovely, warm staff, unlike most airlines where they're formal & sometimes cold. Love the people of Zim, it's not their fault their government has wrecked the country.

Zimbabweans are kind hearted people ❤️......

All things considered, Air Zimbabwe doesn't look too bad. Whilst the country has a long road to recovery and is in dire need of investment, the fact that Air Zimbabwe is still going is hopefully a source of pride for the people. Cheers Sam!

All Zimbabweans are humble, except govt officials, one day the world will go to Zim for opportunities, God love us all, Love from South Africa

I pray to God that one day my dream of becoming an air hostess comes true🙏🙏🙏

The real Kobe may be gone, but we still got Zimbabwe Kobe 🙏🙏🙏

I think Sam is actually supporting Air Zim. He’s not saying Air Zim is the most dangerous, but is saying ‘Air Zim most dangerous?’ which implies that he’s here to prove that Air Zim is not dangerous as what most people think. I think he did a great PR job for Air Zim. 👍

Sam, I just found your channel. I spent several decades as a traveling business consultant and have traveled about 1.7 million miles around the US, Europe and Australia/NZ. I absolutely *LOVE* watching your videos. You may have the best job in aviation I've ever seen! Right on!

Sam I am so glad you got to fly on the 737 200. I have more hours on the 200 than I care to admit and I still love the plane. It maybe old but it is a well built plane and if it gets proper maintenance it will fly forever :)

“No seat back entertainment, everything is broken”. That reminds me of United domestic 777.

By watching this video, I can tell that Air Zimbabwe has amazing hospitality, and the staff seem very nice. It’s cool how they gave the eco passengers some GOOD food. If they could remodel the interior a bit, and make the outside shine. They are an amazing airline overall, in my opinion.

I love the way he chooses different background songs according to different themes of different places. Keep it up.

I was visited Zimbabwe which was then Rhodesia back around 1975 I believe . Victoria Falls was so beautiful .

These planes might be old compared to western standards, but when you have little...you take cared of your stuff and make them work.

Zims work so hard. They will get back on their feet. Love from Botswana ❤.

Interesting plane - so old but interesting to see when it was new Air Zim obviously were super proud when they first ordered it, having gone to all the trouble to get the custom decor and artwork on the cabin bulkheads and dividers. It's actually nice to see that it spent all the time with it's original owners too - so many others would have wound up with a minor operators and had some crappy upgrade to remove all the original features. It's like a little time capsule back into happier times for both the airline and her nation.

I do not see a single thing dangerous about Air Zimbabwe in this video. Their Boeing airplanes might be old, but they appear to be well taken care of. I was impressed by the smooth landings in the 737-200 and by the beauty of the flight attendants. Nice video sir! I will book a trip on Air Zimbabwe the next time I travel to that part of the world!

Go on Sam Chui putting Zimbabwe out there.....makes me miss home so bad. Any Zimbabweans watching? Hit that like button 🤓

You have to love the reverse thrusters on the old 737!

She does not look old enough to have been a flight attendant for 27years! Wow! Beautiful. I hope I look that young at 45years old.

Are we just going to ignore both the 737 landings, they were really smooth

It’s really nice to see a B737-200. It brings back fond memories. I flew the aircraft in the 1975 to 1988... logged about 8,000 hours on the aircraft, 3 quarter of them as a captain. It was a really lovely aircraft to fly.

i like Zimbabwe people, always smile. Have a nice day from Indonesia

Very Impressive airline! Perfect SAFETY record. Can't beat that!

I love Zimbabwe from Egypt 🇪🇬❤🇿🇼

I don't see any danger. Sure it's not the most luxurious but Air Zimbabwe has a zero crash record

You've got to compliment Air Zimbabwe on the excellent maintenance of their air crafts.

This brought back many happy memories for me regarding my time living in Bulawayo. I flew from London Gatwick to Harare and then a connection to Bulawayo. As we were landing in Bulawayo, the pilot cranked up the power for a fly around. He spoke on the intercom and informed us that landing had been postponed due to a donkey wandering on to the runway, it’s visible from the starboard side. And there was some ground crew trying to persuade the donkey to leave the runway. We circled twice and eventually landed ten or fifteen minutes later.

Hey Man. Thanks for this. Your review was certainly organic, unscripted, down to earth, truthful , objective and certainly honest! The corporate world out there needs such!

After watching all his videos i am finally convinced that if you speak English well you can literally talk with people from all different countries

“You look like Kobe Bryant” that hit me 💔💔

I have not flown since 1979 from Salt Lake City to Calgary Alberta Canada on a 737 and this brought back so many memories it was a western airlines it looks like you had a wonderful time

I love these videos because it shows the beauty in cultures and aviation across the world. These people are beautiful, pleasant and love what they do. Thanks for this video!

No. The airline has an excellent safety record. It has never had a crash since it started operating. Statistically, British Airways is less safe than Air Zimbabwe.

I love the sound of the old JT8D engines and it's a pleasure to see them in action today. This video shows little to nothing about how safe or dangerous Air Zimbabwe is but that's not something I expect to see from Sam. What we did get to see is the unexpected free sandwich that looked better than sandwiches I've had to pay for on flights much longer. The Crew are also a pleasant surprise, they're very authentic and those smiles were real and all over their face, not those fake smiles on many cabin crew that are only put on the lips and are instantly gone the moment they turn their heads away.

I dont care if we dont have music, tv, blankets, or anything. As long you have a Flight Crew full of Joy and Love, It will be the best flight.

The one thing I love about different people in Africa is how optimistic, positive and bright they are; full of life and happy with what they have. Meanwhile, we have people with 50x their salaries and 100x their facilities in developed countries in need of counselling, therapies and what not. Kudos to the Air Zimbabwean crew and all the people in this video for displaying their positive energy and happiness. Africa is beautiful.

"I'm so excited to fly Air Zimbabwe" Sir you can't film on the plane "The seats are broken, no lights, no entertainment, this plane is 30 years old and never been updated"

Sam, the title of the video could have been better. Grateful to the Zim Air team, warm and determined despite their older planes and normal operational challenges. I love Africa.

I think the Air Zimbabwe logo is pretty interesting it’s the Zimbabwe bird that is found in the flag, but it’s taking off from it’s pedestal! 🇿🇼

What makes me smile is his smile he’s always happy he’s never rude no matter what just earned a new sub 💖

Zimbabwe is a beautiful country. Yes, it may have a lot of problems, but the people are friendly and probably very resourceful. The airports looked nicely designed and clean, and had some interesting local products to try. That 737 looked comfortable, and something to really think about, a regional flight on an airline in a poor country gives out free lunch and coffee. Find an airline in the "rich" countries that does that. I'd fly that airline...if I ever get the chance to go to Zimbabwe.

After Sam was told to not film or he was gonna get kicked out Says some bad stuff about the seats and lights lol

beautiful view of the old clam shell reversers and huge fowler flaps on the B732. i remember that model well -- flew it often as a teen. revolutionary for it's time in short field performance and known as "fat albert'" sweet!

Great video. I used to travel a lot in Africa but only ever took South African, Kenyan and Ethiopian Airlines. Service was always superb and being 6'6" they always made sure I got a decent seat without paying silly extra charges. Really enjoyed watching that and I regret never going to Zimbabwe.

I mean the plane is old on the inside, but the people and the staff seemed really warm and positive!

JT-8D's were awesome engines, thirsty yes but in thrust we trust. Such a neat experience, glad you went to the back during landing to film the TR's

I love the upholstery color.... looks amazing

never watched this channel before it certainly makes me realise how much i miss flying because of this virus.

“U look like Kobe Bryant” That’s goin hit different RIP KOBE BRYANT❤️

Those old, analogue-controlled planes bring a sense of reliability to me. Thank you, Sam, I always enjoy your videos.

This is a good advert for Zimbabwe Airlines. Friendly attendants with a good sense of humour, great airline which is actually one of the safest in the world, and the food looks amazing!!

Thanks much for sharing these videos from places all over the world. You are one of the few guys who do these kinds of videos that actually show the real people and real places of the world. Not just all the so-called developed nations.

Sam, You’re doing a great great job with your YT channel. Sharing with us your flight experiences is a tremendous way to discover other cultures and people. Reducing borders and differences between human beings. I would really appreciate more video in Africa, Asia and South America as it is probably where we have no idea how people are travelling. Once again, Thanks a lot for sharing with us your experience William

9:00-9:10 The wing and the thrusters looks amazing when landing!

Africa is greatest continent on earth.. ❤from 🇲🇾

Wow, I want to visit all of Africa some day !

Dry bones shall rise again.. lots of love Zim💖💖

737 classic wow, I captain the 737-800 and I had no idea the classic was still in service, amazing

I have heard jokes about Zimbabwe currency..... but what a pleasant video with a mix of warmth and great people. Great video Sam!

Seeing those thrust reversers kick in really hammers in how aged those birds are. Think of it this way, from a model/miniatures point of view, those airframes have such character, every beaten panel, streak of rust, and slight misalignment from stock are unique touches.

I worked for Air Zim for over 9 yrs (till Dec.2001) maintaining the fleet's engines. What I would like to say to anybody who have qualms taking off in Air Zim aircrafts is this: their maintenance personnel are a notch above any you can find at any airline you can think of.

9:05 Those reverse thrusters are stunning

Boeing 737-200 wow! I loved the way those engine sound, deep sound and loud. Last time I flew a 737-200 was onboard Olympic Airlines in Greece some time in the mid 1990's... Great airline!

THIS IS ONE OF YOUR BEST VIDEOS, MR.CHUI! YES, THE B737-200 FLIGHTS ARE ALWAYS INTERESTING AND THE DIVERSITY OF ZIMBABWE CULTURE...THANK YOU!

Beautiful air Zimbabwe. .. Beautiful Zimbabwe country . .. Beautiful Zimbabwe peoples. ..

Can't be the most dangerous if their plane has been flying for nearly 30 years.

looks cozy enough. I recently made friends from Zimbabwe, and this popped up. Must've read my mind.

I've flown Qatar, Emirates, Malaysia Airlines, Ethiopian Airlines, South african Airways, and I've got to say Air Zimbabwe might not be the fanciest BUT there's something nostalgic about it that I like that sets it apart from those others. The staff are friendly, sophisticated, helpful and although there's not entertainment the food is good, and the seats are comfortable. Would recommend!

..people from Zimbabwe are very nice people...my boss is from Zimbabwe...😊😊

They may be poor with money, how rich is their warmth that makes travel beautiful. America may be rich in money, how poor is their warmth that makes travel dull.

that such a nice way of putting it "Air Zimbabwe is an experience of it's own"

Great nostalgic video for me, I was flying with them 20 years ago. I remember the funny "jet brake system" when landing. Filmed it as well, then. 😅

If this Airline has a zero crash record, why is it considered the most dangerous?

Great video Sam, I lived in Zimbabwe as a kid and grew up next door in Zambia. Zambia Airways also had the 737-200, so this brought back so many childhood memories of those awesome flights on that awesome plane. Cheers! :)

WOW! Didn't expect to see the Springboks at the beginning of the video😯 Cool stuff man👍👍

Wow! I remember flying on an Air Zimbabwe 707 from Harare to Vic Falls about 30 years ago at the age of around 11, what an experience!

Wow 767 and 737-200 Classics.. And those Pratt & Whitney Turbojet engines of the 737-200 amazing...

Aww Sam! Im soooo glad you enjoyed your travels in my beautiful country Zimbabwe and enjoyed our national airline. We are struggling economically as a nation but resilience...is in our DNA and so is friendliness. That's why we are known as the world's friendliest country. And...Air Zim wins best uniform alot😃 Visit us again😃😃😃😃

A very good aviation system,we might be broke to get new planes but we have well maintained the old ones . Proudly Zimbabwean

I'm. From. Burundii we love Zimbabwe no problem 💕💕😍😍👍👍 is good 🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮🇧🇮

our planes are old,but Air zim aint the most dangerous airline in the world and has a zero crash record.

Sam seems like such a genuine person. I love aviation!

I'm watching your videos at home but spiritually I'm travelling with you. I love your traveling videos

Hi Sam .. I appreciate for making such nice travel Video.. I also occasionally travel abroad

Shame! I used to fly Air Zimbabwe from Harare to London back in the early 90s on that 767 (200 ER). There were two 767s - Chimanimani and Vic Falls. Before that, the 707 serviced the route - via Athens, Greece. The 707 couldn't make a direct flight to London due to low fuel capacity. There was no inflight entertainment on the 707 - not even music. But there was on the 767, the same entertainment system which, it's sad to note, is no longer working. There was a communal screen at the front of each aisle and one movie was screened per night/flight. The airline was run down due to a succession of very corrupt leaders, one of whom - Peter Chikumba - is currently serving a jail sentence for an insurance scam which defrauded the airline. My father worked for that airline for 22 years.

The 737-200 reminds my childhood, I’ve flown many times as a passenger in VARIG and VASP(Brazilian airlines). A very good plane. I became a pilot and now I fly 737-800 and flew the 737-300. Congratulations for the channel Sam!

I love this video. I grew up in Zim and the only business class seat i've ever been in is on an Air Zim flight. Great that you enjoyed it... 2005-2008 it was a different story =P

It’s amazing how you were well welcomed and you chose to talk about air plane dangerous without meeting the engineers

I flew that plane may 2009 from Nairobi to Harare an I never experienced any denger it was great

AM A ZIMBABWEAN LIVING IN RUSSIA and ooooh my God i used to complain about how economically unfortunate we were until i got here. I mean Russia is better but weather politics and general poverty , i now miss home. Better the poor but sunny healthy country than some so called roses we see in painted pictures yet its not what it looks like. Zimbabwe is a practically better place to stay. my opinion.

Zimbabweans are the best people of the continent of Africa. Lot of love.

Very misleading video title. From the looks of it they took very good care of you during your travels. I would revise the title of this video out of respect for Air Zimbabwe. Also, RIP Kobe Bryant.
