I really appreciate the efforts you are taking to come up with such good narrations. Also, whenever I am watching any of your videos there is something to learn so I can see how much research goes into giving authentic information. I am requesting you to include narrations in all of your videos. Please don't stop them. It helps people like me to get an authentic experience. By the way, hope you had a great time in my state's capital. Thanks and regards, cheers and have a good day

Seems like a decent airline. I'm looking forward to seeing the vistara videos especially now they are being folded into air India. I recently flew a max 9 on United and enjoyed it, especially since it had personal monitors. Do you have an opinion on travel reviews that throw in an ad? I can think of 3 channels I occasionally watch and they advertise a VPN or whatever other sponsor they can get at the time

@tfft

Putting ads into videos is a-okay for me (and will be something I do in the future) becuase they don't impact the impartiality of the creators opinion of the airline they're reviewing. I get offers from lots of the typical companies like these but am declining for now, waiting for when my channel is large enough that I can directly approach the (travel adjacent) brands which I already prefer and would love to talk about more.

Yet another low cost Indian airline is the first thing coming to mind. I have traveled to India several times for the past 15 years ( last time Nov 2022) and have seen several low cost airlines come and go. I can remember 2 that I frequented Kingfisher and Jet Airways. Also about to ride into the sunset is Vistara because of Tata acquisition of Air India. Delays in boarding and take off are not because Akasa is new but more so the norm in India travel. Just imagine doubling the number of flights in the country?

@tfft

Жыл бұрын

Your analysis seems a bit broad. Jet and Kingfisher were not LCCs as we know them today and IndiGo is India’s largest carrier, 8th largest in the world and last year had one of the best on time records globally. Some smaller airports may struggle but major improvements underway/completed at the three main hubs (DEL, BOM, BLR) will serve the expansion well.

The Boeing 737 is a great aircraft, which is unfortunately nearly 60 years old in terms of basic airframe design. They need to come up with an all new design type soon.

I disagree. There will surely always be a place for trains in Indian travel- likely it will continue to expand and improve over time- but India’s traveling market is not finite like it is in fully developed countries. In France, if the rail improves so much and is so much cheaper than flying then eventually everyone will just take the train. But in India, I reckon the rise of the middle class will fuel a traveling surge that the rail and aviation market will be struggling to keep pace with for decades to come. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
