FLYING GADDAFI'S AIRLINE - AFRIQIYAH AIRWAYS TO LIBYA! 

What is your impression of Libya? Would you visit? Also feel free to follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates :)

As one of Afriqiyah cabin crew members you are welcome at any time hope you enjoyed this flight with us am proud of our crew members thank you and wish you a pleasant stay in tripoli

As a pilot working in Afriqiyah airways, you are more than welcome and thank you for choosing us. I hope you like it 😊

felt like a stone stuck in my throat watching this episode... im not Libyan but i was born in Tripoli, Libya... i only lived there for 5 years but my memory of Tripoli is still good. Imho it was a great country when I left and im sad seeing how terrible looking it is ... im seriously teary eyed writing this. Thanks to Drew Binsky and You, Josh Cahill for showing me the current state of my beloved Libya

As a 15 year old Libyan living in the UK, as my parents moved here for work in the 90s, I frequently visit Libya every year for 2 months in the summer, and really, its a safe place. I'm also into aviation a lot and airlines in Libya are not affected by the civil war in terms of safety. They are affected financially, like all other sectors in Libya, and the main instigator of destruction to Libyan based airlines was the battle of Tripoli airport in 2014, before then aviation was great in Libya, however the airport hasn't been operable since then, and destroyed many aircraft in the process. I heard that the airport is being rebuilt now, and will likely reopen in the next year or 2 if things go to plan. Afriqiya in particular is not a dangerous airline, and the crash that occurred on the Johannesburg-Tripoli flight was due to fatigue, bad conditions and pilot error. It was also in 2010, before the war, so it's not related to the war in any way. There have also been no emergencies involving Libyan aircraft since 2010. So don't be worried when flying with a Libyan airline.

Libya is a hidden gem. I visited recently and it was an incredibly unique experience.

I love when Josh tries to geek out on aircraft types with the staff at these airlines and the staff are like whatever dude its a plane. 😂

Well that's the first and must probably only review of Afriqiyah I will ever see. Good work Josh.

the amount of risk he has taken jus to give us a glance about this terrifying airline nothing but respectt

welcome to my country bro , hope you enjoy your stay . i would recommend you visit Leptis Magna ( biggest Roman city in Africa) and the old town of Tripoli.

The best content I have seen in ages, I’ve been to Tripoli twice once prior and one post Gadafi reign and the people are always kind

as a Libyan I am so happy you had kind of good experience, more bizarre fights and loud voices you are going to experience in Tripoli but trust me it's a nice country and they are hospitable to foreigners... enjoy and welcome.

Great content! Really awakens the adventurer in me! The most important thing is how friendly and kind people seem to be. Whenever I travel in unusual destinations like these, having trustworthy and kind people around really makes a big difference.

Love your videos. The highlight of my weekend is watching yours and noels videos. Thanks for all the entertainment and smiles.

Thanks very much for this Josh - Libya has been on my list for years for Roman sites. I hope to get there some day, but I'm 66, and running out of time.

Amazing and rare experience! Wow, that is cool! Josh you are opening new horizons for all fans and avgeeks! :) Always learning from you, to make my own trips and videos better!

Such an interesting video. Thanks!!

Libya is certainly a hidden gem. Extremely friendly people who are always welcoming. I look forward to my return. Just a shame I have to travel a long loop via a third country to get there. Worth it though. Nice video Mr. Cahill.

Travelled through Libya in 2009 with a friend. A beautiful country with beautiful, kind people.

Very cool video, thanks!

Herr Josh, this one is terrific. Gosh! You're stepping up your game even more. (with a new case - woot! Woot!). Curious about the next installment. 🚀

Love the Biman Bangladesh plane at 6:16...they don't fly to Istanbul but use it as the technical stop for their Dhaka - Toronto route. :)

Amazing flight review as always.

Amazing video. Thank you for flying these airlines.

Fantastic. Great vid and nice people.

Best way to understand what a particular persons culture is all about, is observing them in a normal environment. And a fight starts...

I used to work on the contracted ticket desk for Afriqiyah in LGW, didn't know they were still around. They used to operate their A330 to Tripoli but most of the traffic would connect to Ghana or Nigeria.

Great video! There's always something about the 319, engine looks so huge on that one

Finally , was waiting for this one.

Thanks for the vlog. Be safe. Have an amazing adventure. Cheers.

Welcome back fantastic Josh, thanks for this lovely video,I really appreciate your efforts, your friend is a fun filled personality

Very interesting review, thank you

Crazy,crazy Josh what an adventure 😮

Thank you for such an educated video. You have done the world an educational video .

Wow Josh, really great Job! You even fly to these countries to show us how it looks. Best Flight Reviewer out there!

Great content Josh!

Loved this blog. Libya is beautiful country masha Allah. I'm so happy things are getting better there.

Great to see things are on the up with Libya. My one and only experience was in March 1991 flying from Athens to Benghazi on a Boeing that was the worse for wear, as there was a US embargo on aircraft parts in place for years. I made the wise decision to fly back to Athens with Malta Air.

Thanks for this!

Edelweiss Air just started flights again from Zurich to Colombo, I'd love to hear your review of their service and comfort on their A340-300

6:15 That Biman plane was having a stopover at istanbul, either flying back to Dhaka, or it is flying onwards to Toronto. I highly suggest to try that route. Surprised me when I flew the airline from Dhaka to Toronto last year in december

Your flight videos are the best!! So unique and interesting. Never know what will happen. Thanks!

Josh, you amaze me. I’m speechless.

Love you bro from Gambia 🇬🇲 ❤️ take care, u really doing great stuffs 👍

i dont comment much but your videos are unique great airlines great cities great planes and its not all business class keep up the excellent work thanks

I also had that smoke smell on my flight on Air Arabia to Abu Dhabi. Cabin crew made an announcement not to smoke on board. This smell continued for 20 minutes until it stopped. Great video

will visit in a heartbeat

Ahhh Im Libyan but have never been to the country. I flew from Tunis to Rabat with Afriqiyah (almost empty) and was impressed by the cleanliness of the plane. The staff were also really nice and one of the pilots came to talk to us for a bit.

I like how you go to places that others would be scared to enter. I think your very brave. They seem pretty ok to be honest for an airline. They haven’t had it easy. Respect to the people of Libya. Great review. Looking forward to you review of the Russian airline Josh.👍

One thing I learned from you is booking a seat at the back of the aircraft. It's calm and less chaotic back there. 😎

Thank you for your interesting video and I loved to see Tripoli live again after so many years. I worked in Libya fro r two years when i was very young. it is a very beautiful country and i have beautiful memories, Nalut, Gadames, Benghazi, Seba,Sirte, Waddan, Tripoli and Sabrata and Leptis Mania!

Wow, very hospitable staff. Boarding sure was interesting. Your meal looked great! You are gutsy traveling to Libya. .

WOW! what an adventure!

Good to see the biman in Istanbul. I heard this is a short layover in Dhaka-Toronto route.

Wow it’s my dream to visit libya 🇱🇾 soon thanks for this video

Love the A319!👌

Wow awesome josh

Your’e one brave man Josh!. Fights onboard & the smell of smoke.. My heart would’ve been in my mouth.. Enjoyed this video, not a place for me though, much respect to you, safe travels Josh!

Superb video!♡♡♡

All good things come in three: fight, smelling of smoke, problems with entry. 😂Not a boring flight 😄

I lived in Tripoli, Libya in 2011. Great country with friendly people

I visited the cities of eastern Libya, which are called Cyrenaica. It was amazing and beautiful. It has a stunning nature and the people are very kind. It is somewhat oppressed in terms of tourism and media. I saw the shrine of Omar Al-Mukhtar and the beauty of the cities there.

fantastic josh

As always very impressed by the effort Josh puts into his videos always gives me a smile and brightens up my day keep up the good work my friend!

I was excited to see the video !! Happy to know that it’s safe now for you !! Sincerely I was disturbed before because of your security !! Waiting for the next video Josh and what a courage to go there !! Congrats !! From a Tunisian/Belgian guy following all your trips

Already 15 years since I was in Tripolis. And at that time unfortunately only on transit with Emirates coming from Tunis flying to Dubai.

Great interesting video

Glad you got to experience Ah Frick Yeah airlines.

Hmm my aunt and uncle were in Tripoli back in the 50's , do like the larger wheels , great when you leave the airport ! Thinking of doing some mods :-)

I loved this video😭👍

The crew and passengers seemed very nice to me. I actually would fly them after seeing this video. The crew seemed 10 times nicer than flight crew from the USA

I used to work for afriqiyah in the paris branch years ago before the war started. This just brought back a lot of memories. Flew them from CDG to JNB a few times. Also stayed in Tripoli a few times for business meetings with the airline.

you are absolutely crazy Josh)))))))) going to Libya, wow. well done. another amazing video.

Great trip thanks you safe

Josh…of all these airline “reviewers”..your definitely my favorite. Your videos are always the most interesting and have the most fascinating drama Sam Chui has nothing on you my friend

courageous man.

1:57: "See you later". Famous last words before flying Afriqiyah.

Hey Josh it's has been hard for Libya. But it's good to see the country doing well. I will soon visit Libya. I have to visit Africa. Much of my ancestors come from there.

Welcome to libya brother ❤️

Thank you Josh for the discount code for the Sterling Pacific luggage, I've purchased 4 pieces and they are phenomenal, awesome luggage! Thanks for all your great videos and tips!! Merry Christmas to you!!

I have taken them b4 to lagos over 15 years ago and thay was good

The food looks better than most domestic airlines in the US that have a five hour long flight in economy class seating.

I like sturdy carry-on luggage, but they weigh too much. If the maximum allowed weight of a carry-on on an airline is 8kg for example, but the carry-on when empty weighs 4 or 5 kg, you can't put very much in it.

My man tempting faith . Love it.

9:03 Judy's producer is from Libya

The fight in the airplane is one of the prime examples of lawlesness caused by the ouster of gaddafi. With him,Libya was a country offering so many benefits to its citizens. Once he went,it has been chaos ever since.

Thanks❤

The extreme flight reviews you do with such kindness and respect are amazing! So interesting! Can’t believe you’re going to sanctioned Russia after this, I definitely haven’t seen that in youtube yet!

Super interesting and what an adventure, Josh! I'm wondering if with more state controlled airlines like this you need to obtain an authorisation to film? Can't wait for your Russia series 🤗

Bravest traveller in the world..........U r only one I found travel to libya and make a vlog............Great ......Carry on man

I like the video very much Josh keep up the good work

Minute 15.05 you and your fantastic friend laugh and talk loudly at the Victoria hotel Tripoli😂😂👍👍

nice one josh. better then the 100th emirates bc review on other channels :)

War bestimmt ein komisches Gefühl minder Fluggesellschaft zu fliegen. Wie immer: toller Report!

Food looked good on the flight

my mother was born in Khoms and I would love to visit one day

Welcome to Libya 🇱🇾 and Tripoli
