Follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway to see how this story unfolds! Thanks 😊

The cat is an employee and works in the maintenance department. Specializes in Pest Control and occasionally acts as security.

This man spent over $500 on this absolutely disgusting flight, just to warn people not to fly on such a terrible airline. He is a legend and deserves more credit.

The gentleman in the airport lounge is a saint. He was most likely sticking his neck out in protecting you from the police. There are always good people in the world- I’m glad you had the good fortune you had in meeting one of them.

I hope the gentleman at the lounge in Tunisia gets a promotion or raise for not only protecting you from further harrassment but also trying to make up for your previous experience. He can only do so much and he did as much as he could. Glad you were safe! Tunisaair give that lounge associate credit!

As a Tunisian, i stopped flying TunisAir years ago since i have other alternatives. No Tunisian is proud of the airlines. But one thing i can say here to answer your concerns about engine maintenance, if there’s one body of Tunisair that doesn’t fuck-around, that’s them maintenance people, TunisAir is very safe in terms of travel and has an impressive history so stay assured.

The lounge manager seems so nice, instead of being offended at being caught out last time he stepped up and went above and beyond.

Garbage flight but hats off to the lounge manager for keeping you safe from those corrupt cops. That guy really deserves to be running that airline. We need more people like him.

My brother-in-law used to tell a story about an internal flight in Peru he took in the late 1980s. The plane was a 1950s De Havilland Comet 4, with smoky engines, wooden-slat floors in the cabin, and four goats tied up in the rear galley area.

Finally, a real and unsponsored airline trip, honest and have balls to criticize an airline. I'm sick with one KZfaqr who sugarcoats everything.

As Tunisian myself who lives abroad, I am speechless and totally agree with you on how this is embarrassing and shocking. I remember flying Tunisair in the 90’ and the standards were much higher. So sorry you had to go through this, not only it’s a disgrace in regards to the service but the lack of safety standards is alarming.

I work in flight operations and just wanted to point out that the pilot probably didn’t get lost. Sometimes aircrafts need to taxi around to clear up for another aircraft that needs to launch first for scheduling purposes.

As an African with a deep love for my Continent, I'm quite embarrassed even if I'm not Tunisian. The country is beautiful and the people are so sweet but the airline doesn't represent them at all. So unfair. I'm so so proud of the lounge manager taking steps to improve his lounge. This is Tunisia! 💪❤️

I only used to fly with tunisair to save money, but now, I'm willing to pay more for better airlines.

I am Tunisian, and you are totally right about everything! I have nothing else to say, except that Tunisair was a really good company, but over the years it just went south! And also, the thing with the cops and the manager of the lounge was a total act for you! They know you, and they just wanted to show off! They don't even do that to the pilots or captains!!

the lounge manager was an absolute hero and such a nice guy, great respect to him!

Josh. Several years ago, I was by the Tunis airport departure gate, taking photos of the different planes. Suddenly, I was surrounded by 3 plain clothes security men, who demanded to see my camera. I showed them my airport photo's and they demanded that I delete them off my internal card. I did, and they left me without any further hassles. I suspect that they were watching me from a distance. It is going to the extreme, when the police escort you onto the plane and not the others. When I toured Algeria for 14 days in 2017, I had a group of policemen escorting me all over the country. I paid top price for a private tour, and they were not happy when I spent 3-4 hours at an archaeological site. It was irritating to have them in my view when taking photo's. The policemen following me around in the different museums. I couldn't stop on the road to take photos of the country, as my driver guide had to keep up with them. Very stressful visit of Algeria.

As a Tunisian, I must say that we Tunisians are not happy with this, we are sorry to see our airports and overall services being this way, the problem is really complicated since the company is corrupted and the government is not taking serious decisions against it. We are really sad to see this.

As a Saudi, I feel so bad and upset for all my Tunisian brothers and sisters. No citizens of any country should ever be embarrassed like this by the state of their national carrier, especially if their country is beautiful and has a lot to offer like Tunisia. And, Josh, I'm sure you're aware that Tunisia is going through difficult political changes that will hopefully spark the beginning of positive changes on all fronts.

My wife and I visited Tunisia in 2004 and really loved the country and the hospitality we received from the locals. TBH after watching this, our view of Tunisia has turned into another dimension. How can the Tunisian airline authorities ignore the basic up keeping of the aeroplanes as the airline represents the county's image ? Just mind-blowing !

Dude thank you! Never thought for one second of my life that I would enjoy this type of content. Genuinely much thanks to you. Take care of yourself 👍✌️

As a Tunisian, i just wanna express all my excuses for this. We’ve never been proud of this airline. I hope that after all of these new events that are happening here, this airline is going to improve.

That plane looks like a flying petri dish. I can't believe it's that filthy during a pandemic. If the inside is that bad, I'd be terrified of the maintenance situation.

Subscribed Josh! Love your reviews! Keep doing your great work and keep us informed! Would love some more reviews on Korean domestics. Thank you!

Josh Cahill you are brave to put yourself (most times at risk) and your resources to educate on how things should not be. Thank you

“No water in the tank”. Probably no fuel either lol. You are a brave man.

It was nice to see how well cared for you were at the lounge in Tunisia. He worked to make sure you were safe from the police and to make up for whatever experience you had the previous year. On a different note, the business class from Istanbul was certainly a sham. However, on the flight to Frankfurt, it seemed a great deal improved. Congrats on protecting your footage.

Not only were you looking at stains, but you touched it, NOOOOOOOOO

Just had an eczema flare up watching this review. Crazy

There should be an independent body who can inspect aircraft standards and grade the plane and service . This grade should represent the maximum the airline can charge for a ticket

I was in the high end hospitality industry for 20 years before starting my aviation career. It totally make a difference when individuals are properly trained for their positions and are passionate about the job. so nice to see the manager of the lounge and his attention to detail as well as your statements on the cabin crew on your second leg.

It's actually ridiculous they don't even allow competition by making it harder for other low cost (or quality in this case lol) airlines to expand in the Tunisian market. We've been enduring these conditions for decades now and it's been so frustrating

Josh, this is your mother speaking. “Stop touching those seats and chair backs!!” They’re ka-ka.

imagine the state of the air filter for the cabin air. i bet its still rockin the same filter since delivery

Sam Chui would ride the first A320 flight and conclude that it was a great flight; with great food and outstanding service.

The sad "please help these starving puppies" music at 5:00 cracks me up.

Thank God for that lounge guy wow ✈️✈️✈️✈️🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹🇹

As a Tunisian, I did not even understand how the rusty tin company classified as airline in the first place, I would like to thank you for posting the video and that you were able to save the video despite the pressures.. As for the cat at the airport, he wants to leave the airport for a while and is looking for help

Hey Josh, Tunisian here living in Germany. I’ve always loved my „flag carrier“ Tunisair a lot but what you have experienced here is far too much off a disgrace and utterly unacceptable. I hope that this goes viral again and that you receive the credits for such a horrific experience. We Tunisians are full with pride for all the achievements and the small steps our country is making but this airline should as you said just be grounded. I know every plane, every registration and many of the crew. When I saw the TS-IMS registration I really thought that it will be a clean plane because I saw TS-IMG for example and you don’t want to sit in that one. But even the crew was so bad I just wanted to hide and stop watching to be honest. ALL I CAN SAY IS THAT THIS DOES NOT REPRESENT THE STANDARDS OF HOW WE ARE AND HOW WE ARE BROUGHT UP WITH OUR VALUES IN OUR CULTURE. This airline has nothing to do with our country and is a run-down company led by corrupt ceo‘s! I was glad that TU745 was a better flight experience. #tahiatounes

Great review as always fella!

Enjoyed very much. Thank you so much, Josh, for these great report. 👏👏 Longe Manager became the star of that video. 👍🏼

The best part is the manager who is trying to give his best for making the airline and the lounge better hats off to that manager 🙏

Bravo to the lounge manager! A decent human being! This has totally put me off flying Tunisian Airways

I lived in Tunisia for two years (86-88) during my service with the Peace Corps. It was a small town near Tunis (I think of it often.) I had one camera issue when I visited a well-known historic town. The officer wanted to know what I took a picture of (I think he thought I took a pic of something military.) I didn't have the heart to tell him we have satellites that could read his name badge. Having been in Tunisia for about a year and a half, I was able to disarm him by responding to him in Arabic. This also was the only issue I had in Tunisia and enjoyed the opportunity to be there for two years. When my service ended, I took Tunisair to Rome. The one thing I remember was the outstanding service (we were approached several times to check if any of us needed anything.) It is a shame that the lack of good service often comes with a national carrier.

Seeing the U-turn reminded me of an incident at London Gatwick 30 years or so ago. A Korean Airlines 747 was taxying out for take off and took a wrong turn but didn't seem to understand instructions from the tower and ended up in the domestic airlines area in a cul-de-sac. After finally coming to a stop, he had to wait for a tractor to come along to push him back to a point where he could finally get on his way. It took about 30 minutes in all!What surprises me is that given the appaling lack of cleanliness on the aircraft, Josh touches his fingers to his face.

Makes you wonder if they treat the engines the same way as the interior. I’d be afraid to go up.

What you didn’t realize, is that cat was an undercover police officer, and they didn’t want you to blow his cover.

I'm truly in disbelief, I can't imagine getting on a flight and having it look like that!!

I can tell that even we Tunisians we always avoid flying with Tunis-air. This company is having problems for a decade now. And if you dig deeper with a proper research, you will find that it is a political issue. This company is employing more than 5k people or it only needs 3k employees to work in good shape. Also, We're neither proud of it nor supporting it. Finally, companies like these do not represent us as Tunisians.

When you put the wrong guys in the wrong place , you got that result 😤

Thankyou for this program. Very educational

I’m really surprised to see you had the guts to do a loo review. I’d have been scared to death inside that toilet. Kudos to you Josh. 👏👏👏

Thank you for the review! You've been flying on one of the "newer" A320 (Reg. TS-IMS) around 10 years old. I cannot begin to imagine how it would be, if you flew on one of the veterans (TS-IMF is about 30 years old). Unfortunately the A319 you took for Frankfurt is not Tunisair's, it's been leased for the summer season. As for maintenance they have to comply with the minimum requirements of European Regulations otherwise they will be banned. I can assure you, the Europeans are looking closely at the state of this Company. Most of Tunisair's fleet is just grounded awaiting spare parts, which they don't have liquidity to buy. And as you said "Nothing can schock me anymore", that's the mindset one needs to fly with Tunisiar. Happy flying!

Well done mate - you've captured the experience well. Hopefully they will take this on board and turn the airline around.

Was so sad to see you struggling on that dirty airplane! But the video is great, as always. Thanks Josh, love you and your content

Oh, this is indeed icky!! Were you tempted to get back off the plane? It probably would've cause major issues, huh? I can't travel anymore (disabled) but when I was younger I travelled a lot. I loved flying. I love watching your videos & seeing bits of countries I'm able to travel to. I really enjoy your running commentary on the flights, too.

I am Tunisian, and I haven't been in a Tunisair flight for ages, I feel ashamed of seeing this footage again and again but I have faith in the new changes happening within the public sector and the government which could at least improve the quality and cleanliness of the airplanes..

I saw the heading and had 'deja vu'... That 320 looked like it had been used for a couple of weeks on Haj flights, then abandoned in the desert for 6 months. I can't believe you didn't pay the extra for a parachute :)

Josh you are amazing I’m a new subscriber and going through the videos. I started with the new videos going one by one video. I love the work your doing. Keep strong your doing an amazing job.

What are they hiding that they are so crazy afraid of the airport being filmed. They are nuts.

The best part of the video, I enjoy you saying NO to the officer that wanted your camera. That shows courage. I’m glad you had a better flight on the second leg of your journey.

The lounge guy seems really nice, I hope you didn't get him in trouble when you recorded him saying TunisAir flights are sometimes terrible ;_;

I’m a Tunisian and i say to you !! be thankful you’re still alive after that flight

I’m glad you’re doing this work so I know which airline to avoid.

Wait until you hear how many employees Tunisair has and how much cash they're burning through (from Tunisian tax payers money). National disgrace it is indeed!

Shocked that the plane hasn't crashed, you can imagine the service if any they do on the engines. You're a brave man to fly on that plane/ airlines.

As an airline person myself I have to commend you and your bravery to put your life in jeopardy to expose these disgusting companies. Makes me proud to live in a civilized country despite the problems we have.

How the people from the lounge came to U with all that food is just so sweet, especially after such a experience with 5 officers..

i just started watching josh! one thing i love is that he is always honest, unlike people like sam chui who basically does whatever it tales to make any airline look good, my man josh shows the reality!

As a Tunisian i was crying while watching your feedback on a national carrier that supposedly be a frontline and first impression for foreigners. I am sorry that you had this awful experience. And make sure to know that Tunisia is a beautiful country that ruled by Corruptors.

as a tunisian i'm very ashamed to have an airline like this.... i hope things get better fr

Thank god, a friend recommended your video before getting Bc tickets for me and my family with this airline. Thank you for this video!🙏

As a Tunisian I can tell you that even us don't want to fly with Tunisair because of the disgusting seats , flight delays and overall unprofessional behavior from the crew. Sadly , it's hard to change things because the problem is deeper than you think. The last CEO of the company was fired from her functions because she stood up against the corruption inside the company and it's now nearly impossible to start changing it for the better because every director is afraid of being desisted from his functions. Tunisia is a beautiful country and a must-see for everyone and I hope that we will come up with a solution and improve the quality of our national airline.

Josh, greetings from Ireland!🇮🇪☘️ Thank you for the forthright and bluntly honest review. Hopefully your many followers will spread the word and hopefully shame the airline into improving their service.

The lounge manager was a very nice and sweet person

Keep doing your thing. You are great for travel! Thank you Josh.

Immediately had to wash my hands after watching this...

I see many Tunisian people apologizing for the bad experience he had. They seemed genuinely embarrassed & sorry for the bad service. This shows the pride of a good-hearted & kind people. Everybody should know this is no reflection on the good Tunisian people. You all seem very kind. Blessings to you & your beautiful & exotic country. Love from U.S. (You should see the behavior of some people in US at airports & other public places. It is beyond embarrassing!)

If it wasn't for the lack of good and cheap alternatives (aside from Nouvelair), i'd never consider booking at Tunisair. Nouvelair isn't much better, but we'll have to wait and see how these two develope in the next years. Tunisair started stepping up their game and i have hopes, since my last flight (Tunis to Dusseldorf) was quite positive and the crew was extremely nice and took immense care of me (well, i had a broken leg ... and didn't order assinstance neither for Tunis nore in Germany, so they were afraid i could fall or get hurt even more and so they tried their utmest to organise service for me. They even upgraded me to Business Class for free because of my injury and the need for more legroom.) The food was great and the plane was a brand new A320 neo.

Josh I have the upmost respect for you. Thank You for standing up to the bullies, because you know what you are doing!

Finally! Interesting new video! Cool!

I have to say your point about the English security briefing is very interesting. It does seem logical to have one in English as it’s an international language.

As a Vet. who worked on Aircraft as soon as i saw that seat i would have left the plane and flew another carrier. If their interior is that bad than what can the internals of the plane that make it be a plane and not a brick look like ......NOPE!!!!!

I know I’m two years late to this video, but that encounter and experience with the airline totally made my heart pound and not in a good way. Glad you were ok!

The lounge manager was so caring helpful and truly amazing It's just a shame about the airline as a whole and how is that first aircraft still aloud to fly I'd be embarrassed to work on it on travel on it

Well done for the lounge manager, a real hero. It would have been easier for him to turn a blind eye, but he didn't. I pray for success and prosperity for him, may his good deeds not go unrecognised.

Tunis was such a great country when I visited in 2007. ... such nice people and the flight with Tunisair A320 was good. A lot of things have happened since then ... I hope they recover

Fair play to the lounge manager what a gentleman he should be there chief executive

I'm Tunisian and It's been two months since I was waiting for your video. Tunisair is a national shame, I got even blocked in its official page in Germany 'Tunisair Deutschland'. For the first time on-board it was tunis to Istanbul and since, I decided to boycott it. The company is is going through huge crisis and corruption cases and I personally opt for other choices, cheaper and with better service. However, this is not a reflection of the Tunisians and Tunisia as well. You are welcome whenever you come, you can try (and review) other local airlines like Nouvelair and Jasmin airways from other airports like Monastir or Jerba. And hats off to the lounge manager!

I never seen something that awful,I travelled recently on an 19 years old 737 of a Spanish charter carrier operating for another low cost carrier and it was a lot better, this is not only a shame to Tunisia but to all of aviation

Just FYI, regarding passenger safety briefings, EASA recommend that briefings are given in English as well as carrier language, however it is not a requirement.

Hi Josh, Keep up the good work...

Great job Josh! I’d have walked into that filthy cabin and immediately panicked that the the rest of the plane was completely unsafe. I actually think you were quite generous in your review!

No water in the lavatory, filth everywhere, no tea and an insult instead of a meal and this was in business class!! There is NEVER an excuse for poor customer service.

I agree some airlines can be confronting when you get onboard, but most of their staff want you to have a positive exerience. That first log of your flight looked horrendous - especially for Business Class! In time you will share this and it will be a great laugh, like any other travel journey. Great work!

When I was in Djerba, there was a cat wandering around in the airport too. Coincidence?

Imagine paying premium price to have economy meal, dirty seats and non functioning bathroom. That lounge manager was excellent though, really hospitable.

Josh, thank you for always being so honest and transparent in your flight reviews! Greatly appreciated 🙏

Hey Josh - great video. I can categorically assure you that I will never enter Tunisia or fly the airline but thanks for the warning and confirmation.

Oh my it was a scary experience Josh. but I'm glad you were saved by the lounge manager.
