Well of you wouldn't put an adidas sport top on you like a common bloke, you might have got a better response from crew, beside a joke it is a cultural thing
Yes, Josh, it would be very interesting to hear a debrief on how Airlines respond to you. Actually a long form video on this subject would be amazing.

I have flown with MIAT two times back in 2016 from Moscow to Berlin and it was one of the best economy class flying experiences in my life. The service is very good and you even get mongolian beer in economy for free (at least back then). I really liked the plane as well (737NG), it was super clean and modern. If not for the rather inconvenient schedule (it went only on thursdays), I would have flown with them every time. It was definitely a much better experience than S7 for getting to Moscow.

This is very interesting and informative
Service of the MIAT crew is one of the best I have ever encountered in international flights, specially compared to many European Airlines.
My sons and I loved the month we spent in Mongolia. We traveled there on the Trans Sib. Shame you didn’t get the opportunity to do a Gobi Desert trip. That was amazing and the nomads were super friendly and also loved the foodie gifts we gave. It’s such a beautiful country.

Thx for traveling my country 🇲🇳
It’s cultural- cabin crew will not go around and make jokes and chat without reason. It’s Asian and Mongolian thing- people are tired and travelling, do not disturb. If you ask - they reply
mongol culture is all about, dont bother others dont ask much, dont gain much and dont require much. very minimalistic nature of living
I know we're probably hugely in the minority, but as women watching your channel, the Loo Review is VERY important. Many of us judge the whole airline by how well they maintain the loo. It says a lot about them. Thank you.
I love the idea of an update to let us know how the airline responded.
As a Mongolian, I can assure you that the crew member's situation is cultural thing. For me, I do not like to be disturbed during a flight. I get annoyed if someone asks questions and keeps talking to me. Anyway, it's an excellent video. Hope you enjoyed your stay.

Hey Josh, thanks for the amazing feedback about the Mongolian Airlines crew. I'm a flight attendant trainee at MIAT and watching ur video has given me some valuable points that I can take note of and keep in mind once my turn to serve on a plane comes. Will definitely be more open to chatting to passengers and taking care of them as much as possible as you stated. It is more of a cultural thing in Mongolia and I think it's shown here even during flights 😅. But hey great video and thanks for the pointers. A Mongolian Airlines trainee from Mongolia.
I was in Mongolia 22 years ago. Travelled there on the trans Siberian railway. They have come along way in 22 years. Keep the look reviews. Its always interesting on international flights to see what the standard of cleanliness is with different airlines.
Mongolia is my favourite country that I've visited so far. The first time was back in 2016 when a friend and I took the trans-Siberian railway from Putinia and spent 5 days in and around Ulaanbaatar. The second time was for 9 days back in late June as a solo traveller (didn't fly MIAT though...KE via Incheon). The new airport is a huge improvement over Buyant Ukhaa, even if it is a bit basic for a capital city I hope you got to see a bit of UB and eat some good Mongolian food. DId you get to try khailmag? .

You don't need to stop the loo review, you need to rename it to "going to the honesty room" because it seems that during the flight it is much easier to be frank and honest about the flight in the privacy of the loo. Noel Phillips is the same, it is always less about the loo and more about what is happening in the cabin, unfiltered.

Definitely this - besides, if you're filming in the loo, so long as you move the camera around a bit while you give us the brutal honesty segment then people can see what the loo's like without you having to really review it.

The air hostess's dress code is nice and decent as well. The hospitality welcoming wasn't good enough for countries like Russia, Mongolia and China, etc because it was their attitudes and culture that we couldn't expect more. One thing I liked the most was the airline's cleanliness and maintenance for a ten-year-old flight. Thank you, Josh at last you gave the real review in the toilet 😅

Yes!! The debriefing reviews will be awesome. Hopefully, it will also put some pressure on airlines to respond after a review and not just brush things under the carpet
Dear Josh, I got the feeling that its mostly about You, You and Yourself. More than half of that movie is You in the picture, and you interview yourself all of the time.
I didn't expect Mongolian airline to be so good. looks good and nice service.
I flew Mongolian to Tokyo a few days ago! Honestly I was dead impressed - cabin was clean, crew was obliging and service was prompt. Only problem was the food, which was borderline inedible.

Thank you so much, Josh. What a ripper review. I too have always wanted to go to Mongolia. How very exotique. You're a champion reviewer. Keep them going. And yes your suggestion to provide post review updates sounds ace.
I think that’s a really good idea for the second channel mate, do it.
I believe that MIAT have applied to become an associate member of the One World alliance. Good to see them aiming high. Great review as ever Josh
Keep teaching Noel how to do loo reviews 😉 Great video. Mongolia is high on my list yo visit. Would love too see more about airlines reaching out to you. Keep up the great work.

You’re the real one for letting us know the review might feature some special treatment… Unlike other reviewers . Keep up the good work mate

@Josh: great to hear that Iran Air put together a task force after your review. So you do have impact, they do listen to you.
Another great review like always Josh. 1:53 I would be interested in a debrief series to see how the airlines react.
I love that they gave you an upgrade likely getting you confused with Sam Chui and you still gave an honest review, thank you!! (Not that I think I’ll find myself booking a trip to Mongolia anytime soon)
We flew business class to Frankfurt, since economy was sold out. Excellent and friendly service, and comfortable seats that could recline flat.
Continental had this 2-1-2 business seating on its 767s until they were either retired or reconfigured to UA seating. Most carriers squeezed 2-2-2 on their 767s in the front cabins but AC and (when it existed) CP Air did variants of the five across: 2-2-1 and 1-2-2. I actually enjoyed the single seat on CO. And “Yes” to a flow up platform.
Josh is looking like a football coach 😂
I love watching the channel because it gives the majority of us regular travellers an honest review on a flight experience. Great that Josh is always transparant to his viewers when the airlines give him the Sam Chui experience. 😊
Thank you for all the great videos, really nice to follow. Would like to hear and see more.
Gosh, you're so helpful and polite thanks as always Josh !! ❤😅
Love ur airline review videos always!
Josh, I like the idea of a debrief. This would be great for passengers to see the response from airlines and what they plan to do to improve/fix issues.
I was researching airline routes for a possible multi destination trip. One of the options that popped up on Orbitz, was a layover in Ulaanbataar to Seoul. I like to fly out of Frankfurt because it gives me an excuse to be in Germany, at least for a little while.
Yes! Loved when u showed what ElAl was actually like when they didn’t know who you were. Always enjoy your videos. Don’t stop the loo review.
Just flew them Ulaanbaatar to Istanbul. Love that 767 layout, which I fly quite regularly on Air Niugini
YESS, hit the thumbs up for the vlog and follow up channel
That would be very interesting! Love your content, Josh!
It's an awesome day when Josh drops a new video!! Love watching these trips with the different aircraft and how excited he gets.II'll follow the other channel you've got! That condor jet looked hilarious with the green stripes as you were boarding and then that tan one. That is such a crazy odd design choice. Makes me wonder what Condor was thinking lol. That scenery on take off! That was so cool that the pilot you met swapped seats and shared the ride! LOL the Loo Reviews are pretty funny and it's like one of those interviews during the show type of vibes like a reality tv show. Don't stop doing them! Food looked okay. I wonder what they had for Vegetarians. With all the traveling - I would have no idea what day it is on a pretty regular basis.
A very good idea about the debrief follow up!
Very good video, really enjoyed seeing the airline and a glimpse of the city and country through your eyes. While I know this business class seat on Mongolia Airlines is not up to date by today's standards, I'm reminded how much room that type of seat actually provides. I was lucky enough to fly business class on a handful of trips back around 2005-2008 when that kind of seat was the standard. That seat is enough for me to feel like I'm flying long haul very comfortably. The newer features today seem very nice (and I'd probably get used to them quickly), but they still seem like bells & whistles.
Thanks for another great video as always Josh
First, your blond look with whiskers is rocking; nice change! Secondly, yes - I’d be interested in the follow-up video after an airline responds to your reviews. Thanks!
Mongolia is beautiful country,and people & nature are just amazing
Josh your post trip reviews would be quite enlightening to see if they do listen to customers. Great idea.
I love your talking about the flight Josh. Most flights i watch have to read the subtitles. Thank you,. ❤
Yes, it would be interesting to know what happens next!
Mongolian Airline from my experience was really good, tasty food, friendly team and cosy flight ✈️
Josh, count me down as a Yes to see a channel with follow up videos on your recent travels and how or if the airline reacted. Stay safe.
Josh the loo review is important without it it’s not normal so don’t stop
Great video as always!
What a beautiful plane and equally beautiful approach.
I love the loo review. I think the mannerism of the flight crew is cultural and not intended to come off as reserved. Mongolia has never been on my travel list but who knows. 110 countries deserves a congrats. Enjoy your stay and hope to see your next video.
I love airline feedback based on your observations; it’s a natural progression really isn’t it? 😊
Please don't stop the loo review as a disabled flyer it helps me to decide what planes I could fly on! Thank you!
Fantastic flight and a great video.
Travelling with a „Schalke 04“ hoodie in the Business Class 😂👍🏽
New subscriber and Patreon as well. Pls keep the loo review, it says alot to me about the real cleanliness and maintenance of the plane. Taking a trip via ATL to Cebu PI in couple weeks. So looking fwd to the 14hr journey from ATL to Inchon!
Love the loo review 👍
I think hearing more about how the airlines respond would be really interesting. We’d quickly learn who’d we’d like to fly with in future!
Love your videos. Have you thought about creating a scoring system (maybe 1-10) for various aspects of your experience? One being awful, 10 being excellent. Could score various aspects of the experience such as departing airport, gate experience, cabin service, plane cleanliness and upkeep, food quality, loo quality, and debarkation experience.
Appreciate the transparency!
Amazing review! Josh, I love how you focus more on hospitality and service over hard products, too many reviews on how airlines need perfect Qsuite-style business classes, etc. How I would love if you did another Canada tour, especially if it involved the 3-3-3 Air Transat A330’s and Air Inuit 737-200’s! 🌶🔥🤙
I would love to see video upcoming rewievs about how the airline is changing accordingly to your videos. You are doing such truly importent work for the whole airline industry and are making flying better for passengers around the world keep up the good work Josh Cahill!!! I love your videos so much so detailed realy nice informative rewiews.🙂
Wonderful video Josh! Thank you for the full disclosure of your upgrade! What a cool place to fly to, wonder if we could ever do that with our two kids in tow. In order for me to get upgrades, perhaps I should change my name to yours? Lol 😆
I am glad that you are doing economy class reviews, because I think that really100 matters to a lot more people. Love your vides, very transparent, and comforting to hear from your point of view. You have very good way of story telling.
What a smooth landing !!!!! I was impressed !!!!
It would be really interesting to hear your debrief , thank you for the opportunity to do that.
Very cool of you to let everyone know how you got into business class
Don't feel bad its a cultural thing, I go to Mongolia every year
Yes that debrief video would be interesting.
So glad I found your channel, Josh. I'm LOVING everything I've been watching. This is my dream job. If you ever need a travel buddy, let me know 🙃
Josh very interesting flight review , the catering looked excellent. Please continue with your loo reviews I always look forward to any unsavoury WC experience you may encounter. An update on Tunis air would be fun .😃
Loo review is important as it tells much about the importance an airline pays to hygiene....I'd not trust their catering if their loos are a mess. Keep up your great reviews Josh!.
Haha it's quite nice that you receive an upgrade because of your work ✈I like to try exotic airlines but I never saw a 2-1-2 configuration in Business Class. Otherwise the Boeing 767 looks so great with its unique livery. We will see what they offer in their Dreamliner, hopefully a new 1-2-1 configuration 👍
Yes hearing any airline feedback would be good
10:07 as my mom would say: “JOSH!! EAT YOUR CARROTS!!!” They’re good for your eyesight lol

Mongolia.....interesting destination and no on-board drama. Thanks for the video.

Hey Josh, love your videos mate. Quick question - the floor or mat in the elevator at the hotel you stayed at said “Thursday”. Was it a Thursday when you checked in? Interesting if they change the mat for each day of the week for their elevators!
The loo review is one of the things that make you unique. It is part of your brand. Imho do not stop,
Super Video ! Am Ende bleibt der BVB aber die Nr.1 im Pott
I like the video very much Josh Keep up the good work
Hey Josh, yes debriefs would come in very handy.
Thanks Josh, please do a debrief as it will provide additional insights on how the Airlines address your reviews, especially interested in your recent South Africa video on Airlink! Take care and Bon Voyage! Cheers
Good review once again. Keep up the good work. In a split second i thought there was a second vlogger in business class, but fortunate it was not (8.08)
Hi Josh happy to see your video after a long time... Happy journey
Hey Josh, I hope you can review Batik Air sometime if you do another Asia tour. More specifically, about its depressing state. It's alarming that their service is pretty much below Citilink when it's supposed to compete with Garuda Indonesia (based on others' short reviews and my own personal experience with them on my last flight from Jakarta to Singapore.)
Like the idea of coming back to the review to see if there was a reaction from the airline.
i used to fly american air 767 all the time. i love the plane because there is only one "bad " seat in every row of 2/3/2 configuration.
Thank you very much for a nice review. Me presonally I’d be curios about a debrief video about what happened after some of your reviews. So a good idea in my opinion.
