This is shocking! If this ever happens on one of my flights, I as a cabin manager, will get fired! It’s I big no no to keep luggage unsecured on a seat. It’s a tripping hazard and can get launched upon impact.

Josh, you can submit this video as proof and complaint to the DGCA along with your ticket details. I highly suggest doing this because airlines like Go need to be reprimanded for their poor safety measures.

To be honest, Rs 200/- from Sahar to Santacruz Terminal is a very GOOD deal :D That too from the departures level!!

Will always prefer Indigo or some other full service carrier over Go Air now. I flew Go Air a very long time back but didn’t have much problems though. However, I like Indigo more than Go Air / First.

Welcome to India. Indians have to accept poor practices despite enforcement protocols being present. They are unfortunately not enforced. A cultural and mindset issue. Let's hope that Go First see the video and initiate proper safety protocols.

Being an Indian, I can understand this approach to safety. Here safety is the last concern as in a way there are too many Indians around and human life is not that valuable. When something goes wrong which inevitably happens there is a some media frenzy and then it all goes back again to as before.

An interesting & honest share. I agree with you Josh but for a native Indian, these aren't shocking, though we don't agree. Good negotiations with the cab driver 😂👌

04:55 you didn't get ripped off but the taxi driver was clearly ripped off, 200 rupees is a fair price, the cheapest ride you can get in OLA or Uber is 309 rupees also considering the fact that you got a ride on departure area usually you have to walk all the way upto arrival area to get a ride, i would suggest you to check price on uber before rather than asking random people about fares, if you are joking about the price its cool but if you mean it then i would suggest you to use Uber or prepaid taxi counter to avoid this confusion

04:58 - The actual taxi fare from Terminal 2 to Terminal 1 will be about Rs 300/- which includes the parking fee for the cabs added to your bill. You got a cab from Departures which is prohibited and 200/- is not bad! 😅

About safety, several years ago I flew JetAirways from YYZ to DEL. I was sitting in an emergency exit and I put an empty plastic water bottle in front of the door that was in front of me and I was reprimanded by a member of the cabin crew because it was a safety issue yet GO doesn't care if your carry on might cause evacuating passengers to trip.

LOL 200rs = $2.63 USD…. c’mon Josh… 🤣 you couldn’t even get a bus fair for that in the western world.

2 years ago I was on a Qatar flight and had the bulk head window seat. The 2 spaces next to me were taken by what looked like Doha nationals as they had the long robes on. They covered the floor in front of them with bags and and junk (literally what looked like crisp packets and food items). When I wanted to leave to use the toilet I had to lean against the wall and gently step in between their items which wasn’t easy as they just watched me and made no effort to move them. When It came to night they put their chairs back and put their feet out and also covered themselves in a blanket. Now when I needed to leave for the toilet, I had feet to avoid, plus it was dark and the blanket covered all the stuff in the footwell, I was so annoyed I just stepped on it all and whatever I stood on probably got crushed. I didn’t even think of it as being a safety issue at the time, just considered it rude and unthoughtful that they would block me in like that.

As a Cabin Crew myself it's shocking to see the cabin securing part is not done at all. Enjoyed your video

From a cabin crew point of view this is extremely worrying and irresponsible. If you want to keep items on the seat you MUST SECURE them, or put them under the seat, which you can't do on a bulkhead. I have seen bags rocket through cabins and they can hit you pretty hard.

200 rupees is okay cause petrol in Mumbai costs more than $1.8 per liter…

Things like this make me wonder where else the airline is compromising safety? Maintenance, pilot duties?? Worrying.

200 bucks for a cab from T2 to T1 was actually a fair price Josh.. am a local.. Cheers :)

I have worked with Go Air as cabin Crew. We used to allow bags on the seat and 1st row behind bulkhead. This was never discussed in our safety training that bags are not allowed on 1st row or on the seats. It's Training departments fault

You technically didn't get ripped off, an uber costs around 250 bucks to travel from t1 to t2 anyways, hope u enjoyed it

Josh. Keep up the safety mantra. In the case of a high speed rejected take-off or landing excursion or other similar high speed incident, lose items become projectiles causing serious injury and, as you note, can block exits. Lapses in cabin safety by crew probably reveal a deeper safety culture at an airline. Man up on the curry though!

Odd they would tell you to move your bag out of the bin for someone else. You would think that the correct course of action would be to find another spot for that someone else or gatecheck his or her bag.

When I was in India , I booked a domestic airline ticket at the airport official booking office for the airline , I told the customer officer 3 times where I wanted to go and when the ticket was issued after paying by bank card , it had the wrong city on the ticket and the airline booking officer refused in a rude manner to refund the money . It appears that the airline never went to the city that I requested the ticket to travel to . After about a month or more , my bank got the money back from the airline but the money should have been refunded immediately when a mistake was made . While most bookings go to plan in a friendly manner in India , it has taught me a lesson to write the destination down on paper instead of providing it through speaking only .

Last month i had a similar experience when i traveled from kuwait international to kannur international (kerala) in go first airline, i only had a 7kg single bag pack as my carry on baggage and when i entered the aircraft there was no space to keep my bag on the cabin compartment so they told that they will put my bag on the cargo hold and after some time they came back saying that cargo hold is also full so i will have to keep my bag under the seat where the legroom is already very small and when i insisted on finding a solution the cabin crew's attitude was very bad and then finally when other passengers interfered they adjusted the cabin compartment and squeezed my bag inside

Air India was the same before, but is sold now. (Privatization in India) The greatest airlines in India are IndiGo, and Vistara. I really hop wthat Air India brings massive changes like good crew, 5-star seats etc. as it's sold to TATA now.

The little things do matter especially with safety as they may be representative of an overall culture and attitude towards safety that extends upwards towards 'bigger' things than bags on seats ? It makes you wonder what other safety corners they may be cutting that you DON'T see? Accidents in aviation are nearly always the accumulation of many small errors, small corner cutting or small mistakes that build up into a bigger chain of causation

Josh I loved the verbal jousting with the inter terminal taxi driver . India looks like a fantastic travel experience. The GO Air A320N looked smart shame about the safety issues tho . Great vlog 👍

Luggage Handling department is very very worst in Go First Airlines, they totally damaged my trolley and after complaining also they didn't respond yet... #goair

This was just, food, takeoff and landing, I really miss the old economy reviews which Josh used to make when he had 30k -40k subscribers

Honestly 200 is too good! You may have mistaken him! 😅

Paying $2 is ripped off? Seriously this guy never been in new york.

The only dependable LCC in India is IndiGo, Go Air and Spicejet are absolutely shambolic.

Please follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates and good karma :)

Oh dear. At least it’s nice to see you in Mumbai, my home city! Also you in an auto-rickshaw haha. True Mumbai experience 👍

The rupee is currently worth about 1.3 cents US so you paid him $2.60 US. I am cheap but this sum would not bother me excessively.

First time a tourist scam a texi driver 😛😉😃

You need to inform Directorate general of civil aviation about this

U didn't talk about the spotless cabin which you usually point out and u didn't talk about the service of the crew...all u did was pointing safety flaws i guess this is not a complete review mate

200 rupee that only £2 and you say that a rip off 🤣😂🤣😂,you wouldn't get very far with £2 in the uk,probably in the car then get out there and then 🤣😂

I used to work for Indigo in the same airport and believe me if your at the counter where the queue starts or at the last counter in that row, people just walk up to your counter and start asking all sorts of questions they don’t care if your attending a passenger or doing something. They will keep calling you out until you listen to them and yes they will use any excuse possible to skip the check-in queue.

Regarding the taxi fee. Josh's mistake was to attempt to negotiate the fee from inside the cab. This never works as once inside you have agreed implicitly with the fee. If you want to negotiate you must do it before entering the that way you can walk away and get another cab if you aren't happy with the price on offer.

You have captured the check in counter chaos really well. I experienced the same thing. 5 to 6 people cutting in front of me while i was talking to the agent, like I was invisible. The worst thing is that the agent keeps talking to them instead of discouraging them. Once inside the plane, I was asked by other passengers to go sit somewhere else because their partner has a seat next to mine. By the way the flight is only 1 hour duration. I politely told hem to buzzz off... My story is for another airline but the same chaos !!

The chicken curry may be spicy, by Josh's reviews are spicier!

I just flyed with GoFirst from CCU to BOM , they allowed to kept the baggage in upper deck , keeping the middle seat empty and even the senior cabin crew was very generous !!!! I think your suggestions had shaken them !!! Thanks mate ......

I flew Alliance Air recently from Mumbai to Bhuj on an ATR which departs from Terminal 2 (Ideal for me as I connected off an international flight), but involved taking a 15 minute bus airside to get to the aircraft which was parked outside T1.

That Indian Taxi barter 🤣

100 bucks .. deal of his life?.. yeah he lives in Mumbai.. surely makes more than you

Hey Josh, your incredible smile always puts a big smile on my face. I always admire your effort and hard work. All the best for your upcoming days 😃

Josh, have you ever been on board an airplane where an emergency, of any kind, occurred? And also, on board when an emergency with the plane itself happened? Curious, and frightened to fly.🙃

This video makes me appreciate Indigo and Vistara even more..

I'd like to share my experience with Go First flight from Surat to Kolkata where a found the safety to be compromised as well.Firstly, a gentleman sitting behind was on phone call. I assumed the cabin crew will ask him to switch it off, but she just ignored him and guy was taking on phone till the plane took off and he lost his signal. Secondly, few mins after takeoff when the seatbeat sign was turn off my copassrnger noticed that she had he seatbeat off the entire time and the crew didn't notice it during the before takeoff check. Also I noticed one of the seats in my row was reclined during takeoff but again it went unnoticed throughout the flight. Although the flight itself was quite comfortable but it was quite apparent that safety was not given proper attention.

Curious that a video about safety begins with a ride on what are arguably the most dangerous vehicles in the universe. Another curiosity about life in general is that there are people would never dare consider discussing the price of an exorbitantly expensive bottle of wine at a "high scale" restaurant but who will hammer down prices of things like taxi fares and t-shirts prices with people who are barely scraping by. For those doing international travel and visit the markets... respectfully suggested you occasionally pay the asking price thus bringing joy and a little bit extra to their lives.

Even if you can secure your bag with the belt you are still not allowed to place it on the seat, it is definitely not allowed.

1:50 this vehicle is lovely to ride on. They have it in Nigeria as well!

Shout out Indian viewers!

Josh stay safe, have a happy Christmas and a blessed new year, love your videos man keep it up your an awesome content creator who doesn't bs your straight to the point and are amazing , lovely guy, love your videos

Considering all the Bulldust with this flight I felt your response to it all was quite mild. I would have been stamping my foot before I had even boarded. Are you mellowing in your old age Josh? You human luggage strap you.

Another reason they most likely do this by putting your luggage on the seat is because Indians have too much carry on and me as an ex Emirates check In agent I saw this way too many times and we had to offload many bags on full and oversold flights.

Fun fact, Mumbai has two runways!

This is India my dear, most of them are so mannerless to just hop in when someone is already at the check in counter and has not finished yet. No social distance, no awareness, no consideration for others. Safety is always given the least priority, be it on the ground or in the air. Amazing video. Missed the loo review though😂 Hope Go First makes the necessary safety implementations in all their aircrafts.

Hi Josh. My view is that in 2021, and wherever you are on the planet, you shouldn't have to point out any safety issues. We can discuss food, crew behaviour, cleaning, but safety issues are totally unacceptable nowadays. Unfortunately it still happens, even with some European majors sometimes. Hope to see you soon in Nigeria👍🏼

Oh, my. That's so unacceptably. You fly safe. Thanks you for this KZfaq.

Josh I too have the same experience flying with them..... Thanks for your review

£1.99 for the taxi. Hope you were hope you were joking about being ripped of.

This is quite different from what I experienced in November, 2019. It was from Guwahati to Bagdogra. As the flight path was right next to the Himalayan mountain range and a clear November sky, I tried to take as many photos as possible through the window with my camera. I literally went from front to the last, and came back, half a dozen time. Cabin crew was always there with a smile, not even complaining a bit. The flight was quite empty and I was roaming around different seats like a kid to get a clear view, from my lenses. At one time the flight encountered some minor turbulences, so I strapped in a vacant seat and informed the cabin crew to please secure my hefty camera bag with something, as it was initially left unattended. To my delight, they picked up the heavy bag and delivered it to me. Even when I’m siting at a different seat 💺, with a huge smile. I seriously have much appreciation for that cabin crew as my opinion they delivered first class service with a smile, even in a budget airliner.

Regular safety check should be done regardless of someone raising awareness or not. Bad time doesn’t come before yelling at you, people could be dead if things are not taken seriously

Looks like your bag was just a small problem. The cart across the aisle was much more worrying, even on the ground a quick evacuation could be necessary, but not with a cart in the way. Over my career I had three ground evacuations....

Are they blocking access to the galley with a catering trolley @10:50? That would obviously be horrific in the case of an accident.

Why do you guys crib about getting ripped off in India when what you are paying is just a fraction of what you would pay in your own country ??? It is not a good feeling but then there are more needy people who dont earn much.

Believe it or not, kind of same happened to me with United, from Chicago to Newark. When I boarded overhead bin was full so rather than checking in the suitcase, cabin crew had me put the suitcase “under the seat”. Now backpacks fit under the seat but suitcase does NOT. During the entire duration of the flight, I had to rest my feet on the suitcase which barely fit. Later I reported this to United but nobody responded.

Hey Josh, what's that sort of divider thing blocking the way to the front galley at 10:48 right before takeoff? I've never seen such thing. Nice video all in all! :)

Can we all appreciate the fact that Josh never disappoints us with his content

You didnt get ripped off. 200 rupees is less than 3 euro.

taxi drivers are scammers everywhere in the world. Josh, you are a fantastic negotiator. 100/200, 150/200, 175/200, 200/200.... LOL

Josh says that secuirty checks are intense, once I forgot to remove my iPad and they let me through no questions asked

4.00 to 4.29-- They both talking without understanding language 😬😬

You got the cab cheap.. Would have been 280/320 ish if you had booked via any cab service (Uber/Ola).. Also, they do need to pay 100 for going inside T2 - which goes to Adani Group/AAI. Also, there are flights with 'cabin bag only - no check-in baggage. Don't know how you missed that.

Well done ! I think if that fairly large cabin bag became airborne in the cabin ! I think it would be the least of your problems

10:47 Those Air India 747s 🥺😥. I hope, Tata will bring back AI's glory.

Well, most of the air travellers in this decade are pretty new to the airline policies, also it's kind of inherited to some people who arent exposed to airlines, that would be the reason for them to enquiry check in agents in the mid. Personally, been to multiple airports in India, haven't seen a similar occurrences. Citing that incident & pointing out check-in agents job to be biggest punishment in the country, feels for me bit exaggerated & judgemental!!! That's all I can say

I flew with Delta once and they got all over this guy for trying to keep a flat kind of bag he used for his art work in his seat. It had to go in the overhead bin. But really is there any where safe. Another flight I was on southwest thing came out of the overhead hitting on people in just severe turbulence.

Thanks for the review, It really helps to ensure what airline not to choose

Josh I've forwarded to someone senior in Go First and no doubt they will do the needful. Its few years since I've flown Go Air given I"m outside India during the pandemic. Returning next month and no doubt will be flying a few airlines including Go First. Interesting once I flew into India with Indigo and then needed to catch another carriers domestic flight to my destination. They had someone accompany us to show how to transfer to the domestic airport. Both Delhi and Mumbai need to make a better arrangement for connecting between adjoining terminals. A simply sign showing the amount payable at each terminal would suffice and making it dedicated taxi spot. First time arrivals always feel rather despondent when they find themselves at the wrong terminal :)

Thanks to Covid and high taxes we have reached a stage where all surviving airlines in India have become a liability barring Indigo.. The state of aviation is really sad with airlines doing anything to save a buck and that also shows in the quality of staff and crew.. And of course Go Air is definitely worst of the lot.. Always a disastrous experience.. PS : You werent exactly ripped off by the cabbie, fuel price in India is now higher than most developed counries andboth terminals arent close to each other.. Shocked there isnt a shuttle between terminals..

"You are on KZfaq right now, I give you lots of business" Please Josh, the guy is not an idiot. Show some respect. "Think I've been terribly ripped off... deal of a lifetime.. Only me problem losing much money... I can drive to Delhi for 200 rs.. always fun getting ripped off in India, isn't it?" It's always good to first understand ground reality before you pass snide comments against someone who is simply trying to make a living. 1. The price of petrol (gasoline) in Mumbai is Rs.110/litre, more than what you offered to pay him initially. And considering that Mumbai to Delhi is 1,415 km, you won't even manage driving anywhere near that distance with Rs.200. 2. The distance to Terminal 1 is roughly 5 km and depending on the fuel efficiency of the car, that's almost a litre of petrol.. and cab fares usually include parking charges as well. So, your 200 is no where near to being a rip off. If anyone was ripped off here, it is the taxi guy. If everyone bargained him for 100 or 150, he'd barely make anything for himself. 3. As for your "losing much money" part, Rs.200 is around $2.6. Much money, huh? 4. Bet that an Uber ride would have cost you close to Rs.300. So much for being ripped off.

Are they requiring people on inbound flights to have the Aarogya Setu app when doing international-domestic transfers? If so what happens if you don't have an Indian phone number to register on that app? Anyone have any recent experience?

I never get into a taxi without agreeing a price first .. unless they have a legal meter.. I’ve never been to India , but in other places this way seems to work well..🙏

200 rupees is like 2 dollars why were you arguing with the guy??? Wtf ??

😮 The Mumbai Airport size & infrastructure is 100% advanced & larger then Pakistani Airports. India 🇮🇳 really look & feel like emerging world power. Respect from Pakistani 🇵🇰

Never mind the F&B cart blocking the forward exits 10:49

Getting ripped off being a foreigner by a taxi driver is very common in India

In India you should always travel with Uber and ola sir it will be convenient for you Sir❤❤

"Go First, Safety Last" should be it's slogan..... 😂😂😂

being indian my dad did a huge bargening with go air (gofirst now) on 2019 .for this same thing

Lol,loved the discussion with cab driver 😂😂😂😂

absolutely correct, Josh ! There is no excuse to having ignored savety rules !

Thanks for Sharing.. “Go First” is indeed the wrost Airlines in India. I am happy to see your flight was scheduled. In my case they canceled the flight and gave me the notification 23hrs before departure. “Go First” should be banned. I would rather like to a connecting flight than taking a direct flight of Go First.. indeed a shameful airlines

Wow Josh not only did you pay extra to be dumped with someone's luggage. You paid for the privilege of holding on to it as well! Next time fly economy you never know someone might as to sit on your lap🤣 Joking aside thankyou as always for putting yourself through this so we don't have to

The only thing the cabin crew needed to do was hand you a seatbelt extender to the existing seatbelt . Problem solved . We used them quite often for the more obese pax .

My favorite 🥰 Love from india

Josh you just managed to summon the self indignant wrath of social miscreants and internet trolls we Indians call 'Bhakts', simply by criticizing things in India. 😄
