Air Asia was by far the worst airline I have ever flown on taking off in a violent thunderstorm from KL to Melbourne, the aircraft was rocked too and fro an Irish girl seated next to me had a panic attack the air stewardess was visibly shaken the pilots voice was trembling you could hear hailstones pelting the fuselage for about 2 minutes, no drinks and food was served due to the turbulence, I've flown many times never seen anything like that, my dad was airforce in Australia it's not allowed to take off in a violent thunderstorm above an airport.

I tried Magic and it didn't seem to understand my requests. Not only that, but it had minimal information about the city I wanted to stay in (Yokohama), couldn't understand the area where I wanted my hotel to be (kept recommending hotels in other areas of the city... or even in another city entirely) and suggesting places to visit that were only reachable by rental car (despite me saying I cannot drive). Not good. Might work for people with bottomless budgets who are happy to drive a rental car and consider Tokyo as 'Japan'. Sorry!

The golf course at Don Mueang Airport is owned by the Royal Thai Air Force. It can be a little tricky to get there (taxis are not allowed inside the compound), and photography is not allowed. But it is a very unique experience playing there!

MyAirline was a slight upgrade from AirAsia & with some of their deals a lower price tag. KL to Penang round trip for 45rm (around $9-10 USD) was a great find for us

As a Malaysian its pretty sad that they went bust, we had hope that they’d challenge Airasia’s monopoly in the low cost market. We’re tired of Airasia milking our wallets in the name of “low cost”

So many dodgy airline owners in Asia. Vijay Malia and Tony Fernandes come to mind. Fernandes wasn't dodgy as such like Vijay was, he was just unlucky in his other ventures. Fernandes ran an F1 team for a couple years, but got in legal trouble for naming rights. Malia also ran an F1 team, and also got in legal trouble, albeit bigger trouble.

In the early 00's, I flew a low cost airline on Peru named Aero Continente. The fares were cheap, the service was great, and they were the last operators of 727's on domestic flights. Aero Continente also abruptly ceased operatings when their owner was arrested for money laundering and drup trafficking.

Josh Cahill is by far the nicest aviation efgeek EVER I have watched him for as long as I can remember he is a efgeek LEGEND 🙏

That's really awesome, thanks for sharing another amazing adventure!

Great that you managed to review them! We all started getting suspicious when they started cutting even obviously full routes. Then the founder got arrested. Actually he had already been investigated for various money laundering activities several years ago so it was a surprise he even got to start the airline in the first place

Great video Josh!!!! 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

Awesome vid!!! Keep up the great work man!👍

Hi! Josh Cahill. Thank You for sharing this wonderful video.

Another amazing video Josh

Nice vid Josh! I was at Don Muang in 2000 and we were stunned too when we saw the golf course. It was quite busy there at the time, amidst all the flying. Don Muang was very active back then, with lots of both civilian and military aircraft seen 'in action'. And Thailand is a wonderful country.

Awesome video as always.

I hope that it will be nice vid as always. Already from start I really appreciate the Czech football t-shirt, lovely.

Very surprised that it's row 13 that's missing. Usually in Malaysia, if a row or a floor is missing, it's 4 (and often 14, 24, etc). My apartment when I am in Malaysia is on floor 3A, which is between floors 3 and 5.

It was never a good idea for a second LCC in Malaysia. Airasia has 200 planes and MYairline has 4-9. It wanted to be an Ultra LCC, cheaper than Airasia. Airasia is looking for a USD400 million loan now; its restructuring plan has also been rejected by the authority 2-3 times. What chance did MYairline even have? 2 main factors that did it in: ever appreciating USD and the resulting interest rate.

Josh - Your videos are 'top notch'! and so professionally designed. Bravo to you BIG TIME! I recently returned from Papeete Tahiti and flew Air Tahiti Nui. Perhaps you should consider trying it out sometime and add it to your repertoire of air travel ... quite a beautiful experience. Best to you and keep those videos coming. It's great entertainment! - Paul from Boston Massachusetts

I just wanna thank you Josh for all the effort you put into this video just for us keep up the good work my friend! :) also I don't think Asia would need a new budget airline because they already have plenty of options not the mention some pretty cheap one.

I like the old Don Muang airport. I actually liked it more than the new airport. Used to fly there from LHR. It was old but had a certain charm about it.

I sat in row 13 on two legs of my flight to Stockholm this week on Delta Airlines, but living in China, my apartment building did not have a 4th or 14th floor.

I really hope they'll be painting the sky red again. It's high time, AirAsia needs to be kept in check. By the way, you are staying at the world's 2nd biggest shopping mall🎉😊

The Golf course is a Military Golf Club and they only welcome special Guest with a certain handicap due to the special Environment around the Course. There is no row 13 and 17 on German and European Aircraft’s . 17 is in Asia’s Region . 13 for unluck in Europe 🎉

No Row 13! In 1988 I flew Air Afrique New York Dakar and that is my absolute first memory of an aircraft without a Row 13!

I'm honestly not surprised MYAirline are gone. There is a glut of airlines and you really have to bring something unique to the table and it's all already been done.

If i remember rightly you have to cross the taxi way between the 2 runways when playing golf there to reach the other side of the golf course. Flown many times into Don Mueang with Eva Air and Thai before the new airport Suvarnabhumi opened.

Non-reclining seats on a short-haul flight? Good. Interesting video.

2;00...I do like the name Myairline, it is such a cool name. I also like the name you mentioned "ur' airline but not written yourairline but as "urairline" which also sounds cool to me 😎.

Damn, it’s sad what has happened to this airline. I love its livery and its cabin. I live in Malaysia and I used to often see their planes.

1990 first landing at Don Muang with KLM and first thing I saw was… the golf course 😅😅😅

Row 13 is also missing in some western airlines as they've received complaints from customers

That a319 model that you bought stole my attention 😄.Which livery is it Josh?

oh I miss AirBerlin .... :o (because you mentioned it)

The founder was charged under the Anti Money Laundering/ Counter Terrorism Financing Act. That doesn’t necessarily mean he’s accused of both, likely just the money laundering part. Makes it sound like there were arms being smuggled in the cargo hold

Sad to hear about the collapse of MYAirline :( Thought they were doing well before they suddenly close :/

The airplane exterior colors and design looked good and the inside looked nice. But the best think to see was Josh's hair back to being one color. 🙂👍

great vid Josh. Personally ive experienced MYAirline as well and have found their services better than AA. Am sad what happened to MYAirline, no fault of the staff who are just trying to earn an honest days wage. I do hope MYAirline is bought over by a new investor. Cheerio.

Qantas will be thankful for mentioning that minor incident😊

I think the golf course is owned by the Royal Thai Air Force.

Yes I knew there was a golf course between the runways at the old airport 😂😂. I noticed it about thirty years ago when I was in my early teens. We landed in a BA 747-400 from LHR, it was very rainy but I was thinking, am I seeing correctly! Is that a golf course on the airport?

In China, the unlucky number is 4, so you probably won't find row 4 on many airlines, or 4th floors in buildings. I've never been to China, but I read about this. A friend of mine also flew MyAirline roundtrip between KL and Bangkok. I hear the airline will be resuming service soon after some reorganization. There are definitely way too many low cost carriers in Asia, but MyAirline seems to have a decent business model. Time will tell.

yes, row 13 is missing due to superstitious reasons. In Europe more than in Asia-if its a former Air Berlin plane-that would explain it.

Idk why some airlines remove row 13 because of it symbolizing bad luck and some don‘t. Personally, I don‘t count if I sit in row 13 or 12 because if something happens, sitting in row 12 instead wont make it better. Eurowings also has no row 13. Just some weird beliefs ig

Hi Josh - what happened to the Myanmar trip report?

Myairlines really needs to duvest itself of the current owners and reinvent itself to survive as always it is another aspect of flying that affects the majority of flyers. Hope you did not rough it too much this time. Blue skies my friend.

Any idea what the emergency the departing Air Asia flight was about? I flew with Air Asia from Bangkok to Luang Prabang on Wednesday of this week, and the flight was delayed by an hour due to them having to find a "replacement aircraft". Our aircraft came in from Hat Yai, so I'm wondering if it was the flight to Hat Yai that had the issue. It does, of course, depend on when this was filmed!

Many skyscrapers in the United States do something similar to MyAirlines... omit floor 13 (as if bad luck is that dumb).

Nice Czech national football team t-shirt!👍As a Czech i appreciate that.😉

Malaysia Airlines next plzz❤

I am going to Kuwait, Dhaka, SIN, Indonesis, East Timor, Malaysia, Brunei and Thailand i January. We are flying Pegasus, Jazeera, Biman, Jetstar, Batik Air, Citylink, Scoot, Royal Brunei, Firefly and Norse Atlantic, during our wacation. Luckily i hadn't ordered anny tickets with MYair, when they went bancrupt. If Asia need one more LCC? East Timor is way to ekspensive, and needs one more route to SIN. But the hotels there are to few and expensive as well. Also Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea might need one more low cost carrier. Also the Filipines might need one more LCC to BKK and SIN. Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand and Singapore have enough LCC. Just check out the nubers og flightw between Jakarta and Bali each day, it is a lot.

Just flown from EMA where there was no Gate 13

My Qantas cabin crew trainer was on the QF1 which went off the runway for her inaugural flight 😅

Try Susi air while in Bali, my nephew is a pilot for them

Many cultures consider number 4 and number 13 as unlucky numbers. Similiar to how Friday the 13th is considered unlucky. In some places at Asia, having those kinds of numbers is another way of attracting bad luck energy.

Golf course? Not with my wayward driver shots, there could be an incident!

In Thailand and some asian country believed that no.13 is very unlucky number… in Donmuang airport, there is no gate no.13 and terminal door no. 13 also 😅

My apartment block has floors 12 12a 14....22 22a 24 etc. It doesn't help that the buttons in the lift appear to have been put in a random order.

Noel Philips must be unhappy that he missed doing this loo review.

The 13th floor of buildings are also replaced with their next number as well in many Asian countries. No point having something that potentially makes the people/culture uncomfortable. I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.

Once owners arrested, I am not sure that it is worth to start again - at least due to reputation 😢

In many cultures, the number 13 is associated with bad luck, which is why many airlines prefer to avoid igniting the superstitions of their customers and have opted to remove the number from there seating plans. Irrational fear of the number 13 is known as triscaidekaphobia.

That’s freaking bizarre. What a story.

Landed DMK in March 1993 on a QF 744 (VH-OJE MAN/ LHR/ DMK) and noticed the golf course. DMK being the main airport back then and lots of 747's.
