This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldnโt otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

I love flying with Air India โคโค
How much was it to upgrade to business class?
First time subscriber, thanks Kevin, would you mind wishing my special friend Pee Pee a very happy birthday? Thank you๐ ๐
Great video-again!
Kevin, great video! Just wanted to share that while your pronunciation of โKesarโ was hilarious to hear, itโs actually pronounced as โK-sirโ ๐
K-sir Rus-malai was the dessert
You r doing a good job.keep it up
Flight from Delhi to Kathmandu or vice versa has the best view of the Himalayan
17:20 Interesting advertising on the left. A bit controversial I'd say.

13:24 Outstanding! What a view.๐๐๐๐
one of the Most Profitable Airport in India and its fully Govt not a private entity
Kolkata airport is very much underused now compared to the pre-covid times. Cheaper connection with the local hubs like Durgapur, Agartala, Siliguri, Coochbehar, Guwahati, Jamshedpur, Ranchi and Patna will definitely boost passenger flow if they also connect the airport with more international destinations, there are lot of people who travel internationally and as the middle class income is rising, people are wanting to travel abroad more than before.
Calcutta was the premier commercial city of India till mid 1970s till the Communists came to power in West Bengal the state of which the city is the capital. Since the 1970s Calcutta has been going diwnhill, taking the surrounding hinterland and states with it.
CCU has very few international connections now, just a few flights to KL, SG, BKK and a few middle eastern cities. Even AI in winter schedule is dropping CCU – KTM flight. A city in gradual decay and decline.

So you were yelled at just for filming those water bottles? ๐
Strange that I've been trying to search for this Kolkata to Kathmandu flight in Air India, Skyscanner and MakeMyTrip websites, but none is showing any results of it.
So amazing Kevin! A part of the world i don't think I'll ever get to experience. Your videos on 84" of 4k pops so amazingly well. I love following your journeys and stories from the time of your first video to now. I also love watching your channel grow and grow
"I recently watched Kevin's trip report on Air India's Business Class on their narrow-body fleet, and it was truly informative! Kevin did an excellent job detailing the luxurious experience from start to finish, highlighting the comfort and service provided onboard. The visuals were crisp and well-shot, making it feel like you were right there with him.
What set this video apart was the insightful dive into the history of aviation in and around Kolkata. Kevin's narration was engaging, and he seamlessly blended historical context with the modern travel experience. This added a rich layer to the trip report, making it not just a review but an educational journey as well.
Overall, this is a must-watch for aviation enthusiasts and travelers alike. Kevin's meticulous attention to detail and passion for aviation shine through, making this video both enjoyable and enlightening. Highly recommended!"
Just became your subscriber, and I don't regret. I am from Kolkata. Although this has just been a stopover for you, if you plan to repeat your visit to this 'not so important city' in the 'not so important part of the world', I at least would love to jave a review video for ITC Royal Bengal if it's not there already.
Would really love to have some honest opinion instead of things which are either all payed up or all enamoured, and as a Kolkatan, I would like to apologize to you for the starry tantrums you faced in airport lounge.
Kudos to the wonderful and informative work you are doing, and looking forward for more such videos.
Awesome!
