I had a drunk neighbor in Emirates economy class recently, being in economy it was even worse, dude was leaning on me and shouting in my ear, then getting angry at me for not being able to answer his incomprehensible questions, the emirates flight attendant was superb at dealing with it, he even offered for me to move seats which I politely declined because of the extra legroom my seat had, but the flight attendant sobered him up and at one point even took him to the gally to calm him down, professionalism at its finest

As a former senior for 24yrs on a major ME carrier, the moment an intoxicated passenger was discovered, there were only 2 outcomes. If said drunk passenger was displaying these actions, before boarding, i.e. during check-in (after being informed by groundstaff), they were approached and questioned to determine their level of intoxication using the 'traffic light guide'. Once evaluated, they would either be denied boarding or if their condition warranted to be accepted for travel, then all service of alcohol would cease. This was explained to the passenger(s) then passed on to the flight deck. Problem solved.

Had that person tried to board a plane here in Australia, they’d have been denied permission at the gate due to being intoxicated. Simple as that.

I recently flew on Air France from Atlanta to New Delhi and my experience was delightful. Everything was on point. The infotainment system, the food, the crew, boarding. But I've only used Lufthansa before so I was using that as the reference point and I can say Air France can beat Lufthansa in economy class for sure

I am sorry for the experience you had. It's actually very shocking as I had an amazing experience on Air France in March on DEL-CDG and CDG-DFW routes. It was absolutely sensational!

I've binged like 10 of your videos over the last 24 hours Josh - not only because you're just flat out honest about your experience (The Air Peace one was hilarious) - but you accent is fascinating. In one of your videos you said that you grew up in Asia and Australia and it's like every 4th or 5th word (especially at the end of sentences) you go fully Aussie - that twang is unmistakable. 🤣 It's such a great hybrid.

Congratulations for 500K in advance 🤗

I had a 2 drunk passengers in the business class on the LH flight from Buenos Aires to Frankfurt. One of them fell on the floor when he tried to go to the toilet. After they started to be extremely loud and provocative crew offered them coffee or tee, after they stay persistent requesting more wine, 2 man stewards came and of of the passengers went with them. I remember I slept 6-7 hours and when I woke up, he was still gone. He returned to his seat some 2 hours before landing. I guess he was sort of “detained” in the crew rest cabin.

Emily was probably fine on the ground at the airport lounge, add 30000 feet altitude and the alcohol really kicks in.

Once flew BA Premium Economy. Cabin staff eventually refused to provide drinks to group of 2 behind me (very professional and diplomatic). It was interesting to hear the passengers claim they were not drunk and could drink more (it was not overly obvious) and then 5 Mins later watch them walk…..stagger to the toilet!

I flew AF one month ago from CDG to Dulles…the lounge was amazing. I had a five hour layover and it was very enjoyable. The onboard was ok, but, you are right, the service in the premium seating is,not best, pedestrian. I had an amazing flight attendant who tried to fix that which was wanting. In the future, I will not pay for anything more than an exit row in coach if AF is the only option.

You can enter competitions in France where first prize is a free seat in Air France business class, second prize is two free business class tickets and third prize is free business class travel for life.

Years ago I flew to Bali first class on Qantas & there was a man next to me who was totally pissed. After he spilt a drink all over me the crew stepped in, but by then I was a smidgeon cross. Qantas eventually refunded my fare one way so it was OK. One drunk person can make your journey hell. Best wishes from Australia 🇦🇺 ❤

Loving your content josh you've actually helped me get over my fear of flying ( just by posting the amount of flights and seeing that you always end up safe, kinda got me over the fear.) Your an amazing guy keep up the good work mate. Loving how brutally honest and blunt you are, never change dude

I had a similar experience on a couple of Singapore to London flights in business class (on SQ). First one was a guy who got so drunk and threw up. It's the only time I ever saw an SQ cabin crew losing it a bit - she apologised to me and said the guy was a "total asshole". He was in the window seat and I was in the adjacent aisle mid seat. Lovely. Second incident was far more fun - yet not ;) As you know, the original SQ A380 business class sights were stupidly wide. A girl seemingly met a total stranger in the lounge before the flight and they got friendly after several drinks. After boarding, she would some and sit in his seat (both skinny folks !) and as the lights went down (night flight), they were getting VERY friendly. Couple of visits from the cabin crew didnt put her off and she was forceably removed back to her own seat, as things were almost descending from friendly to 18+ porn lol. Still the best airline and crew ever - in my opinion.

With reference to the AF boarding, what I cannot understand is that an airline will board a particular flight at the same time every day, and yet they often never get the boarding right. You learn from your mistakes (allegedly) but they - sometimes - never seem to learn. I boarded a long-haul flight (no name - the flight itself was delightful) from LHR recently, and it was rather chaotic. I checked Twitter, and the airline had been notified regularly about this very flight by unhappy passengers.

Was in Sri Lanka last February, and was enchanted by the country. As your man said, the beaches, the train from Kandy to Ella, and of course Sigyria. We also took a balloon ride with Sri Lanka Balloon which was incredible. The warmth of the people, especially once one's out of Colombo, was remarkable given the economic shitshow they're going through, but will definitely return with my son. Flew Sri Lankan economy, by the way.

I always thought that intoxicated people weren't allowed to board a plane. Big shame that a grown woman behaved like this

When watching your videos, I have always wondered do the crew and other passengers hear your commentary? I do find your videos very entertaining, and enjoy seeing the vlogs about the different airlines around the world.

I suspect that it's Sam Chui. I look forward to it even if it's not Sam. Thank you for taking us with you. I'm sad that you did not explore my country South Africa, though you transitioned from Lagos to Johannesburg on Air Crap, I mean Peace. Hopefully in your next Africa Adventure, we get to see you here. Well done brother!

Glad you remained positive about your experience...I live in Kazakhstan by the way - so weird seeing Air Astana pop up :P

Seeing the small section of you inside the Lily Lounge in the Maldives, took me back pre-pandemic when I was going back and forth every quarter. Every single frame of you in the Maldives was a massive nostalgia attack for me man. Keep up the good work 👌👌

Josh: Always has shit flights Sam Chui: Always awesome flights Perhaps start a channel together? It might become neutral.

Hi from Nigeria! Great review Josh. I use to fly AF on my regular trips to France. The only interest compared to other airlines flying to Abuja is direct flight. Coz appart from that, it's fair to say that AF lost its service quality somewhere☹, especially on night flights.

If you want a “Hell Class” flight, book a Business class ticket on United Airlines . As bad as it gets.

I'm very glad that the yt algorithm showed me your channel 3 weeks ago. From then on, I have a real marathon of watching your films;)

Most of my air trips were between 1950 and 1980. While much has changed, I am sorry to see that people under the influence of substances are still a problem. What you may not know is that, at least in the 50s and 60s, you could expect about 50% of the males on a flight to be drunk--including the pilot! Women, especially the stewardesses (aka waitresses) were always considered to be fair game for both drunken and sober men, so you were likely to see a great deal of groping and breast grabbing. The cabins were always thick with smoke from cigarettes, cigars, and pipes, the sharp smell of liquor, body odor, and urine from the often leaking toilets. Things are much better for women now--still a long way to go--so it makes me especially sad that it was a woman who was intoxicated on your flight.

Hey mate, the reason Emily’s husband didn’t object to her forward attention to you is because he was definitely thinking “better you then me!”

Startling that they allowed her on! Thank you for the video!

1:18 the red tails of Kenya airways, looove to see thos big beautiful dream liners, the airline might be hemorrhaging money but seeing them make my heart warm

Oh boy…Josh what you sometimes encounter, you should consider to write a book about it 😉. I’ve flown Air France a couple of Times in Business and had never bad experiences. As a former Inflight Manager I can tell you, it’s very hard to deal with a drunken passenger. It would have been best, if she hadn’t board the flight in the first place. But since you mentioned that the boarding process was so chaotic, I guess they just missed out on expelling her from the flight.

Ik used to work for airlines in Brazil and in Belgium. Not flying personal but ground operations. I've seen many funny and less pleasant thinks. Including a drunk passenger in the KLM Royal class when it still exists.(DC10/30 with 24 seats in the Royal class) He took of his pants and was lying half sleeping half inconcious due to the alcohol. The flight was in transit and the purser asked me to help him carrying this guy out of the plane. What a funny situation. I must say here that I'm surprised Air France served such a low quality meal. The country of the art of cooking and serve fine food...how disappointing this can be knowing the price paid for a business class seat. I'm a great fan of yours and one of the two airlines reviewers I follow. Greatings from Belgium.

Great editing on this video, and congrats of 500k!

I love the Irish, funniest, warmest people on the planet

Always nice to be part of your endeavours. Love from South Africa xx

😂😂 ☘️ I’ve experienced that once with another passenger on an overnight flight back to Dublin at Christmas. When he woke up on landing he was mortified 😳

Josh a nice review. I had an Emily and her sister situation on a transatlantic flight a few years ago that’s when you realise how patient cabin crew are . Looking forward to your Greenland vlog .👍

we are not all drunk in Ireland

That plane on pushback from Paris, F-GZNQ. I flew that from Atlanta to Paris in 2017. Not a great memory as that was a rough time in life but things are better now. Good to see it again.

I flew AF busines from Panama to CDG a couple of weeks ago, and it was terrific. But there were no drunk passengers, at least in my immediate vicinity. Service extremely good, food good and wine outstanding.

You jinxed yourself there saying it was going to be an enjoyable flight! 🤣🤣

Felizmente Emily se quedó en las Maldivas, gracias a Dios. 🤗 Saludos.

Great review, that plane looks amazing, I really want to fly on that plane. Sorry for the drunk lady. That’s crazy but it happens.

500k Soon!!!! Josh, Early congrats!

comgratulations Josh I see you have just reached half a million subs! Well deserved sir love your work!

As a Persian I'm very happy to hear that you are going to Iran!!

loving your Aussie talk, HAMMERED. keep up the great work

Great video as always bro. I enjoyed watching it. Keep it up.

I had an exceptional experience with AF last month on their A350. Food was great and so was the wine. The service was great as well. You probably had bad luck.

Great video! Good to know about AF J Class product. One thing that isn't new is their inconsistency of service and product in any class of service. Sad!

Drunk neighbors on a plane could be either okay or a nightmare. I noticed during covid times especially, they had a sign saying those intoxicated could not board here in the US.

Many years ago, I was travelling LAX-CMH, and had to layover in DEN for an hour or so. I remember while waiting to board the 757 that there was a sloshed businesswoman (or so she appeared) in line, and she kept trying to place her BlackBerry on a stanchion, only for it to keep sliding off due to a non-level floor. I amused her immensely by being able to tilt the stanchion so as to keep it balanced on there. She *may* have just been under the threshold for boarding; I faintly recall her trying to negotiate with the gate agent. But thankfully, I've never had to cope with a belligerent/manic drunk onboard a flight.

I had to laugh when Josh said happy St Patrick's Day to his Irish viewers, because this video has come out about two and half months after St Patrick's Day has happened.

Emily in Paris providing you with some quality content hahaha (I hate drunken seat neighbours though)

I just came from France we went for a 3 week vacation from Miami to Paris.My husband is French we went after 3 years of not going to visit because of the pandemic. We went on coach, the going was horrible the food was cold the overnight flight the plane was very hot no air I think and we payed extra for a bit of leg room and we felt like sardines. The coming back was a little better .Next year when we go back to see my husband's family we will travel in another airline.

Just flew Air France 2 weeks ago on a350 business. It was a very good flight. I agree CDG ground needs some work but the flight attendants I had were great. Food was nice but wine was weaker than it was in January this year. Like any airline these days, YMMV.

It is in the airlines power do deny boarding to an intoxicated passenger, and if they didn't do that then they could at the very least deny alcoholic beverage service onboard, which apparently they didn't do either. So in the end it is the airline's fault.

Thanks again for a great video. You always make the best out of any situation.

Lol I just went to the maldieves like 2 months ago when u said ur going to Sri Lanka I was like hang a minute that looks like the maldieves

Hi Josh, you really make a great favor for people who are travelling between countries and other people who are not travelling. you give us your experience free with famous Airlines as it is . We can see the truth in your words and camera so anybody can choose the suitable airline . I really appreciate your efforts with full support and I hope I can see you and welcome you in Egypt and UAE as well . Thanks very much for your nice videos which I watch frequently to enjoy all your flights . Go Ahead and we all expect more and more from you . Engineer / Mahmoud Moustafa

Great video as always! What sunglasses are they>

I'm sure the stopover is for the crews' benefit. They can't bear to eat the on-board food or use the loos, so a quick visit to the Maldives branch of MaccyDs solves both problems for them.

My Mom was on a flight from JFK when it was still Idlewild, going to Miami for a friend’s wedding. The guy in front of her was smashed and got up, stumbled up the aisle yelling if anyone knew the score of a ball game. A man tried to block his way and the drunk guy kicked him in groin, causing him to fall on a woman who was eating her meal. He was stopped by the flight engineer trying to get into the cockpit. He wanted the crew to radio NY to see who won! By then, three men wrestled him into a seat, belted him in with the seatbelt and belted his arms behind him with loaned pants belts. They made an emergency landing near D.C., Annapolis, maybe? Four MPs got on, arrested him, returned the belts, and drove him off in a military vehicle. The entire flight, it was pouring rain and so much turbulence, Mom and lots of others kept asking for puke bags. They got to Miami nearly two hours late because they had to keep flying around storms. I remember riding in the car with Grandpa to pick Mom up from Grand Central Station. She cancelled her return flight in favor of the train! Mom passed this year, age 98. It was a family joke to never board a plane with Mom because something bizarre always happened. Another time a young man had smuggled his pet lizard in his carryon, took it out mid-flight and it escaped. Pandemonium broke out with people either trying to catch it or get away from it. Mom hated lizards, as in lizard phobia, so naturally, it ran right past her foot. The creature was captured, no extra landing required, but I’m sure there were consequences for the owner. On yet another flight, a morbidly obese man insisted upon occupying his ticketed seat right between my parents in a row of three, so each got only half a seat. Worse yet, the man reeked of what was apparently urine. The flight attendants were “busy” every time my father tried to stop one and insist upon a seat change. The only saving grace was the short flight from Philadelphia to LaGuardia. An attendant finally stopped as they were already approaching the airport!

Atmosphere and glamour of an Irish pub!!!!!! OMG I'm dyeing over here. Some please get me a defibrillator!!! CLEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!! OUT

I use Air France every time I travel and they have amazing service Maybe use airfrance economy class like I do

I flight with Air France a lot and this is a very good airline, the staff is great

To be fare I flew with airfrance on their a350 from Paris to Cairo on lapremier and the product and crew were fabulous

I’ve always heard good things about AF catering…well I think things won’t go perfect all the time

At least she didn't have smelly wind every 20 minutes like the passenger next to me on a 8 hour flight. Both myself an the next seat up from me kept having to move away all night ugh

In 2019 I flew from JFK to Heathrow with American Airlines and I was surprised that there were several clearly intoxicated people on board. None of them were in seats near me but the cabin crew have a tough job as it is and should not serve alcohol to people who clearly are drunk sice they are the ones who have to handle these people if they become unruly and disturb others on the flight.

Haha, I was near a similar passenger on a flight to Dubai. To make things crazier it was economy and she was throwing her stuff on the aisle. One good thing was there was no need of screen-based inflight entertainment on that flight.. lol

Josh, the Air France boarding does not split Business and Economy class. The forward jetway is for La Premiere customers only.

Congrats 500k subs

CONGRATULATIONS Josh 500,000 subs WELL DONE!!! 💐🎉🎉🎉🎂🍮🍰🎆🎇 From New Zealand

Emily would have had a JUMBO hangover when she woke up in the morning. Wouldn't even know she was in the Maldives. I'd like to visit Sri Lanka and spend some time hanging out with the JUMBOS. Some people are really experts at messing up their holidays, and even their lives by over imbibing. Unfortunately mess up other's lives too. Even those they love.

You should have shown us the Loo just to see how bad it was for Business Class

Great Flight review Josh!

Absolutely love your Chanel stay well and safe happy travels 💜💜🇬🇧🇬🇧

We just flew AF (JFK-ORY) roundtrip and the crew was amazing. Of course we were in steerage (economy) class. Still haven’t been convinced that business class is worth the extra €.

Iran!!! Hope you are going to see that good old friend who took you to his place and drove close to Turkish boarder!!

2:13 - a German praising the French? This Englishman is now confused

now Josh we could fall out here as an irish man one of my fav placeses is the pup and no better pup can you find than an irish one.

This is why I would never pay big money for a ticket. If I ended up next to a slosh like Emily, there would have been a huge fight, especially if she kept waking me up. I hate drunks.

I don't mind if I finish my data everyday watching your videos.... I so much love your doings bro.

Always its a great pleasure to hear when you says going home 'Srilanka' which is my home too. keep it up with amazing work Josh. gretings from Vienna.

The first thing on my mind: Good selection of vintage champagne, 10 year or older matured cognac, the most exclusive wine from exclusive vineyards in france, french gastronomy. Must admit the man who drinks his weight in wine wasnt the first

Ha, a true Josh Cahill review/adventure. Not the best flight you’ve ever been on, but top notch review 👍 loved every second of it.

I prefer AF B773 in 2-3-2 configuration, rather than the cocoon 787 business class seats

Great Vid! this is my first video to watch while having my breakfast..... thanks for the share

I used to fly on air france like 10 times a year the past 15 years and katering was always average in economy, but business and première was always on top. i didnt hop on an airplane since covid ... i hope they dont suffer budget cut on katering ... You seserve a better experience in business than what you had.

Well, Josh on St.Patrik`s day half the world is drunk before noon (and that`s around 09.00 in the morning for the rest of us) but the morning yoga is something that they never forget.....😂 But Air France, I did it once back in 1993 from Paris to Mauritius and never ever again!

A drunk Irish sister. Not surprised 🤣🤣

I’m an surprised that the AF allowed an intoxicated traveller to fly…

Congrats to 500k, worlds best travel KZfaqr Josh. 👍🍻

Seriously? You expect too much from the French! I was in Paris last month, and remembered why I don’t go to Paris… The Parisians!

Great like always. Airlines should pay you to try them! 😂

After the African adventure this should have been pure luxury! You should be so lucky! Well you survived another crazy flight.

I feel like Josh reviews the passengers more than the airline 😂 Also in the video with the guy with no socks

Book a leisure route, get a leisure clientele, especially in premium cabins where you're likely to get people intent on drinking the price difference from economy in the lounge and on-board.
