Follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway as I board Air India's new Airbus A350 on Monday - don't miss out! Thanks :)

The inside looks like a posher version of the A318 all-business British Airways used to fly from London City to New York in an all-business configuration, even the IPAD for IFE.

The cabin crew were dealt a bad hand with a broken plane and everything missing!

Thanks for the honest report in comparison to the fluff that Sam Chui posted weeks ago

I'm based in the Maldives. Before Beond started their operations, I met some of the crew members on the beach. They are from Thailand and were eager to start flying. I hope Beond get the snags sorted out. It is a unique concept, and they deserve success. And next time, you must experience the seaplanes! Remember to bring your scuba gear.

Funny how your review strikingly differs from Sam Chui's (paid?) trip review a few days ago ;) Way more detailed and constructive, company management should be blessed to get such review to improve the product!

how to use the gadgets could also be done via a looping video while passenger are waiting to board. then a one-on-one follow-up after the meal service.

Only 4 passengers? I get it’s business class so it costs more but,Even if all the passengers paid the price that Josh paid. I don’t think $8,888 is cutting it for this route

In the U.S. there used to be an airline called Midwest express it was all biz class gourmet meals two across biz class seating through out the entire plane and they even baked their famous chocolate chip cookies on board it was an amazing airline… miss them !!

To be honest, I haven't flown for a couple of decades, but for business class I'd expect direct aisle access these days..

They are running out of cash soon it won't last!

Great honest report, thank you Josh!! No toothbrush, likely because there's no water so they probably removed them from the kits.

Beond should be at the top of their game launching this service. Apparently this isn't the case. Particularly insofar as there were only 4 pax on the flight, they should have been over attentive, if anything. Also I'm surprised that with a tech stop at Dubai they didn't seem fit to have the issue of no water resolved. Perhaps their director of inflight services should be on a light flight like this noting the deficiencies. Simply acquiring an old A319 and filling it with semi-nice seats doesn't make one a player in international premium transportation.

Good to see you back Josh, thought you were going through some trouble or something but you were probably just taking a break.

Josh - We had a similar airline here in Oz a number of years ago called "OzJet". They were running 4 x 737-200's and were primarily a charter jet company. They started operations in 2006 and ceased in 2012.

I don’t think running water being broken is sanitary. Thanks for the review as always!

I spend a lot of my time on airplanes weekly, I am always intrigued by single class, and more importantly, business class airlines for long haul - the FlyBeond product looks interesting - to answer your question, perhaps if FlyBeond can partner with one or two of the major airline alliances. They may have a better reach to passengers and leverage the marketing platform the Airline Alliances represent… with limited passengers it will not survive. Nevertheless, I would like to see these types of airlines survive but also some of the discounted international long haul airline products like Zipair and AirJapan succeed putting pressure of FlyBeond and LeCompagnie that can redefine luxury vs other major airlines. Keep up the good work Mr. Josh Cahill!!!

I think this airline needed a review like this to see what they can improve on.

As you mentionned too much lights during the sleeping time. Usually in business it is quite dark so you can sleep.

what a nice surprise! we have been missing you!

A great review as always. Someone, though, should be held accountable for those shortcomings, especially that it's all business class.

Great honest review Josh. Good to see you at least had a good station manager at check-in.

Thanks for the share!

I don't know, I think you were very generous to them with the review. If this is suppose to be a high end, business class product but they can't even do basics like a functioning cabin and full amenity kit, it makes me wonder what corners are being cut elsewhere.

Some airlines need to learn that Business and First Class are much more than just different seats.

Awesome, I was waiting for this!

4 Pax - an average load factor for FlyBeond. They will disappear faster than expected. Flights out of Munic are already massive reduced.

I think anyone outside of US prefers not to have fake interactions with crew, asking "hiiii how was you dayyy", as we're not friends nor I care about telling them about my day, nor they actually care about my day. So stating that as a minus is a rather subjective thing that depends on the passenger. Also, if I came to the plane with a camera, tripod and a wireless mic and she offered to explain how to use headphones -- i'd consider it to be demeaning and extremely rude.

Hey cahill ur content is really great these days

Good staff to say they acknowledge the problem. That’s all people want usually

Another very honest review. Thanks Josh.

i like the video very much Josh well done

Close but not quite there. For that price I would expect all the little details to be sorted out.

Great Josh Cahill thanks a million sir

Thanks for the great objective review ! You deserved a break - your eyes are really looking tired, when you arrived in the Maledives 😂

Good work!!

6:52 Tomatoes be like : Seriously, dude ?

I like your job but hate flying so better you do the great job you doing, thank you.

I am in the middle of planning a trip with Beyond; for that price, I am still looking forward to it

La Compagnie between Paris Orly and Newark (plus Nice & Milan Newark) does well in full business class flights in A321LR

Not the newest of air frames - This used to be G-EZEA of Easyjet delivered in December 2003 ...

They should've coordinated the color of the plates with the plane.. black. Looks like a good starter airline. Thanks for the review.

its fun too follow you in your travel ,thanks from sweden stockholm

Wow! Josh enjoy your trip . I’m new subscriber. Love it

Beond will stay. It is a very interesting concept. They need to work on a few teething problems and your review is a fantastic eye-opener.

I travelled with MAXJET a couple of times from the UK to Vegas, shame they only lasted a couple of years, that was down to opek.

Love your videos. A couple of suggestions: Personally, I would love more detailed descriptions and reviews of the menus, what food and drinks you ordered, and the quality. Also, please don't forget to tell us at the start of the videos how long the flight is.

A new airline, hopefully in the near future everything will get improved and better than now

Every plane should look like this..

So it looked nice enough. I don't know about the tablet. I think I like the seatback IFE. To be paired with the handheld remote. Did you bump the tablet a lot with it right in front of you? How about the tray table? I thought it looked nice enough. They need a quick course on passenger operations. I hope you had a nice enough time what with all of the weirdness. Thanks for sharing and have a nice day.

if it only has a very low occupancy i would feel that smalle true bizjets are better but for a charter ops this is great. you can easily fit in soccer team with staff.

One of the pleasures of flying solo business class is having space to myself. It looks like, with this configuration, I would be sleeping with the person next to me. Ick

Interesting flight review.

How can this all be profitable when the only (mildly) successful all business class airlines are transatlantic flights, not touristic destinations, and pax are not entitled any rewards/miles unlike with airline alliances? That's a big gamble

Great video Josh!!!! For what you paid for it wasnt worth the price I feel. Josh you are the man keep up the great work. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

I like these “new tech” revamps of legacy flying experiences. Honestly, they should have gone with wired headphones for the ipads. Much easier for users to use and uses less battery as well. Several airlines tried using tablets in the past in order to save on the massively expensive IFE systems, I have yet to see any that were entirely well managed software wise.

Would love review of aer lingus business class. Especially as its changed ownership

if there is only such a small amount of passengers per flight like yours i couldn't see how they could stay in business the seat and the interior looks very luxury and beautiful high end

i hope you do an electra review someday: i might work as a cabin crew there and i have no idea on how does it operate

7:35 beats headphone not Bose

Minus the seating, this business class seemed a bit sub par for me in many areas.

To be honest, a few of the issues can be smoothed out over time with feedback and improvements in ordering stock but that livery might take some extra work. I'm not a fan of block colour liveries.

Is this a dry airline ? If so the aren’t going to get much more traffic on this route

I like the business class product idea, i am sure it will work at the right price perhaps a little less than $1,000. My take about the business class seat arrangement is, it is the wrong type. Each BC seat should have window access and the IFE should have been connected to the seat.

Same thing happened to me on Singapore airlines,they told me I had requested a special meal which I hadn’t and then kept asking me did I want my special meal.

Wow!!!! only 5 passengers on this flight??? food like this for that price. My best experience was canadian Wardair in the 80s when they served Filet Mignon on pocellan in economy.

Initially was really excited by seeing a big black plane, but lost surprises when really experience the real thing 😢

Please review the airline of Maldives while your there or in a future video

This video reminds me of the so called “world’s five star airline” who also was operating a full A319 business cls from DOH to LHR daily service which ended up being a total fail and they had to stop using it. The flights were mostly departing half empty 😂

Try LaCompagnie from MXP Milan to EWR

Usually, even all business class services that offer a good / working product don't make it, so I can't see this airline making it with so many things already not working from the get go. There is absolutely no excuse for a startup airline to not have a working faucet or working entertainment or a caring crew. Of course it is frustrating when you are making USD 10k on a flight that costs probably around USD 200k...

You are on 🔥

Welcome back Pete Dunne.

4 passengers.. Even at that price how can they possibly make it in the long run.. Especially considering your marks on the trip :) Great review as always :)

chair looks comfy but something's missing - variety!

Josh will u try AirIndia new a350?... it's maiden inaurgral passenger flight on this 22nd from Bangalore to mumbai

Hi,I am your new suscribe and I’m so far I like you videos 🧐👏👍🏻🤩

The experience sounds like flying emirates first class on your first leg and ryanair for your second

As you’ve pointed out; there are little things that needs to be tweaked. However, they should have been tweaked before the public started flying

A very nice honest review but you didn't eat your tomatoes on the first leg of the journey😁.

Is that Noel Phillips in the hoody 😂

Been flying Saudia Business Class BOM-JED-MUC last summer and neither on the flights nor in the lounge in Jeddah did they have any toothbrush 🙈🙈🙈

Were both bathrooms out of water? or have they removed one

It's difficult to see how this airline is a viable concept. With corporations squeezing pennies until Abe Lincoln screams for mercy, Business Class flights are reserved for the executive ranks, who make up a very tiny percentage of passengers. The idea that you can fill an entire airline with such passengers, particularly on an obscure, less-traveled route like the one Josh flew here just seems ludicrous. I don't see BeOnd being around for very long unless they focus their services on the more heavily traveled destinations, and even then it's a big risk.

Mr JoshCahill A350&You Great!❤🧡💛💚💙

this airlines has some potential but they definitely need more work.

Apparently, they will be adding Apple Vision Pros to the IFE system

Welcome back after 3 weeks of no uploads..

I feel like this airline really needs the A321XLR to succeed for flights to Europe. People prefer nonstop flights almost all the time. The technical stop interrupts sleep and the inflight experience in general.

I am still trying to figure out what category of customers the airline is trying to target. Firstly, they used an A319 to make it a fully business class aircraft. I would have understood an A321 but A319 ? Secondly the route they are operating, they are directly competing against Emirates, Qatar, Air France, Oman Air, Condor, British Airways and Austrian Airlines. For the price of 2000-3000, you could easily get a better business class product and experience with the competitors or even fly in first class. I don't see the aircraft will be full of passengers consistently even during high seasons.

Excellent review, as usual. The details are always important. Full business class fare demands the appropriate experience and you clearly did not get it. No running water? No toothbrush? No connectivity? No, thanks.

A risky business/concept. They try on a large scale what others do (successfully) on a smaller scale. Fingers crossed. Since they are new in business, they should take Josh's comments as a basis to improve. I'm ok with the food shown but wouldn't be at all with an open amenity kit, a "lousy" iPad (even if the device is expensive) and no hot water (tech failures can happen, I know). BTW, thanks for showing that rather rare Luxair airplane at that destination.

What a gorgeous interior. Food is beautifully presented. The cost for operating this plane has to require a lot more paying customers. Worrisome that there were only a few people on your flight.

At the price you paid Josh, Im not sure any Business product is worth that amount but having said that the idea is a good one!

Interesting concept but has been tried many times before and mostly failed I wish them luck and perhaps it was just as well that they only had 4 passengers. That 20 year old ex Easyjet 319 has been around the block a few times but looks good.

Omg i never knew you lived in Sri Lanka!

Sadly it won't last even though BA had a good run on the LCY>JFK route. Unfortunately, you need plenty of the great un-washed at the back of the bus plus a dozen or so in Business to be sustainable and then have a chance at profit. J-Class on its own won't work.

Two business class passengers sitting side by side, both using tablets could cause problems when both passengers are trying to find the optimal viewing vantage.

do u keep the headphones?

As a former United Airlines flight attendant I apologize you were the unlucky one to have a broken water system. I'd love to give some insight. Unlike engine troubles, which can be fixed in a matter of hours, water system issues are UGLY, and it takes days to fix. Most companies don't have the manpower to fix it before the next flight. It usually gets written up, and must wait until the next mandatory maintenance inspection. As for cleanliness, in the US, if the flight is crossing the pond, warm water and soap are mandatory.
