MAD! Flying BOLIVIAN AIRLINES $40 Business Class across the Atlantic! 

The kind of content that I like from this channel, traveling not in mainstream airlines and destinations. Welcome to latin america josh, it's jaw dropping everywhere.

Bolivian subscriber here!🇧🇴 hope you enjoyed your stay:)

Josh sorry, but it's ridiculous to say you don't like South America because of spiders when you live in Sri Lanka. It's not that different. South America is amazing, I personally love it. You are missing out for no reason

Even if it were a daylight flight, you wouldn't see much of the Amazon rainforest. The flight path from Spain to Bolivia overflies mostly the Southern Amazon, which is the part of it that has been most extensively cleared for soybean plantations and cattle ranches. Besides, don't forget the "rain" part before "forest". The Amazon is an extremely rainy region, and when overflying it, you're more likely to see just a vast sea of clouds. You have to both be very lucky with the weather and be overflying a more intact part of the Amazon to have a glimpse of the rainforest. Now, associating South America with the Amazon rainforest is like associating Europe with the fjords of Norway (which ARE in Europe, after all, just as the Amazon is in South America). There is nothing in Europe but glaciers and fjords. Paris is a nice Norwegian village on the Seinefjord. Berlin is right at the foot of majestic snow-covered mountains. Rome has a very old stadium built by vikings to quarrel with each other when drunk with acquavit (the only thing all Europeans drink). Spain has a nice way of preparing herring (the only thing all Europeans eat) called the paella, which they serve in banquets called "el esmorgasbordo" in the Norwegian dialect that all Spaniards speak. And so on... Your idea of South America is something like that. South America is a HUGE continent with an immense variety of landscapes, climates, and cultures. And Spanish is NOT the language of half of South Americans because Brazil has about half of the continent's population, and Brazilians speak Portuguese, not Spanish (not to mention the small population of the three Guianas that speak English, Dutch, or French, and the millions of people in Paraguay and in the Andean countries who speak various indigenous languages like Guaraní, Quechua, Aymara and several others, all alive and well). You were later in chilly Punta Arenas in far southern Chile, and you saw how that couldn't more different from the Amazon rainforest in all respects (in fact, Punta Arenas is in an area of subpolar climate very similar to northern Norway, complete with fjords and glaciers). Even in Brazil, the country with the largest portion of the Amazon region, which in turn is almost half of the country's land area as well, the Amazon has less than 10% of the country's population of over 200 million people. Given the enormous distances in this immense country (larger than the "Lower 48" contiguous United States), the vast majority of Brazilians have never seen the Amazon rainforest and never will, and the Amazon is something almost as mysterious, exotic, and alien to most Brazilians' experiences as it is to Europeans. Asking the average Brazilian about the Amazon rainforest is like asking the average New Yorker about the Grand Canyon - it's in the same country, but thousands of miles away, and they've most likely never seen it. And spiders??? Josh, you live in Sri Lanka, a tropical country, and have lived in Australia, which is partly tropical as well. ALL tropical countries have a large variety of spiders, big and small, dangerous or not, but that hasn't prevented you from living there. Why would you be afraid of an entire continent (much of it too cold and inhospitable for spiders) because of them?

That is absolute mental, 40 euros for a business class upgrade, fantastic deal, another great vlog, really enjoyed it, thanks Josh 👍✈️

As a Bolivian myself.. I am glad your first South American destination was Bolivia I really hope you enjoyed it! As per BOA itself...as most monopolies around the world it is generally a load of crap I am glad your experience was acceptable ! Cheers Josh! Great work

Very interesting flight review! Living in the Caribbean I would love to see you travel and review more South American and Caribbean airlines. Keep it up Josh, love your videos!

YAY! New video! Goodnight from Melbourne at 8:09pm!

Flew with them in 2018 and didn’t get treated this well but I am happy they are now more welcoming

It’s like you said it’s in the little details especially when everything else is good and comfortable it’s those little things that will make you remember them when you’re ready to book another fare. Great review Josh!

Now this is what I call a proper flight review thank you Josh! and 40 Euros what a steal, also I was wandering were the virgin Australia a330 went thx:)

A 40 € upgrade fee to get business class especially on a long flight is an absolute steal! If it were always that affordable everybody would be flying business class!!🥰❤️

When I worked for Eastern airlines some years ago, I flew into La Paz on a 727, then to Santa Cruz. One year later the same jet, same flight number crashed into the Illimani mountains approaching La Paz killing all onboard. Now all flights from Miami go directly to Viru Viru Santa Cruz.

Nice finally a flight review of the new BoA Business Class. When I am in Bolivia I really enjoy flighing with BoA because the flights are cheap for european travellers and the airports are small so everything is really fast. Once I was at the head quaters in Cochabamba and was allowed to enter and look at the retiered airplanes they use for replacement parts

Excellent review of Bolivian Airlines (BoA) Business Class !!! 🟥🟨🟩

Nice one again Josh, great deal on the upgrade. Spanish is a fun language to learn 🎉

9:30 love that sense of humor

Hey Josh it's nice that you paid 40 euros for an upgrade to business class. Also I'm happy that you got to travel to South America. Bolivia is a very beautiful country.

Hey Josh! nice review of this new airline in the channel. The Business Class product offered for 40 Euros is not bad at all. A shame the food experience was not the best... Keep it up! 😍 Apparently I have heard that BOA airlines might be going into administration in January. Glad, you had a chance to experience their service.

Good to see you back Must have been a thrill on your first flight to S America and then get upgraded that cheap !

Thank you, Josh, for overcoming your fears of spiders enough to go to South America . I knew you wouldn't let us down 👍🇨🇦

Loved my time in Bolivia

Josh - I'm an Ecuadorian- American from NYC and have been watching your channel for a bit. Your upgrade in this vid is an incredible find for sure! I was surprised that you haven't visited South America. I recently started traveling and visiting the Andean countries: Ecuador, Peru, and Bolivia, and have incredible suggestions beyond the typical cities and towns. Feel free to connect if you ever need to chat with someone who is familiar with this region. It's amazing in so many ways!

lovely flight thanks for sharing

Oh how I miss Virgin Australia having those planes for the transcontinental runs to Perth. ‘The Business’ was the best domestic business class product in the world. Now we’re left with 737’s only… glad to see the aircraft found a home though!

just came back from Bolivia, all I can say is that it is a very lovely country. I flew of course some domestic flights, which will be featured pretty soon on my channel. And yes, the capital city of Bolivia is Sucre, La Paz is where the government is located...

It's been awhile since Bald & Bankrupt visited Bolivia, so they should be ready for you by now. I wish you were visiting the Falkland Islands too on this trip.

I love everything, Josh, including the music - Todd Rundgren, Hello it's me!

Another great and honest review Josh! Keep it up

Great to see you in South America Josh.

That's a good deal on the upgrade! On my upcoming transatlantic flight, SAS is asking or $480...and that's just to bid on it! Which I might not even get LOL!

Have to love the €40 upgrade to Business - you could drink that much in the lounge!!!

Love how flat and pretty Madrid is. Reminds me of a small Los Angeles County.

Great video, You need to try the Cubana de Aviacion to Madrid next. Cheers

South America is an amazing place. Def explore it more.

The virgin australia A330 was known in australia as the worlds best domestic business class. These flights were mainly used on perth - melbourne and sydney flights.

While in Latin America you should take Azul’s flight from São Paulo Congonhas (CGH) to Rio de Janeiro Jacarepaguá (RRJ). This route is operated by tiny 9-seater Cessna planes

I do miss the Virgin Australia widebodied aircrafts. I have flown VA Business class on the A330 from Sydney to Perth and Sydney to Hong Kong several times. The best was their 777, which I travelled on several times between Sydney and LAX. It was by far the best J class on the Australia/USA Route; even when DL introduced their latest Business Class, I still think the 777 VA Business Class seat was superior. Plus, on the 777, there was a bar, which was an excellent way to pass away some time and chat with your fellow travellers, which you don’t do without a bar. Finally the old VA service on those aircrafts was so much better than any other airline on the same routes.

Hey Josh, you need to visit La Paz! It’s a completely different vibe compared to Santa Cruz.

Nice ! I think it was your lucky day. I flew with them many years ago in their old 767 and it was not that great. The food was little and I think was just a few sandwiches, no entertainment system as the plane was quite retro (although I did love that, and it made me realise that indeed few decades ago, economy class was very roomy and comfortable compare to todays standards). Is nice to see they came a long way. Enjoy your time in South America !. Don't worry about the giant spiders, I think is not common to see them in the city, but watch out for the mosquitoes though.

Definitely should give Latin America a chance to do airline reviews there. Mexico, Brazil, Colombia, as options.

Done this a few times. TAP flight to New York £50 and a Lufthansa and austrian airlines flight 50 euros to Sarajevo business class upgrades. Not done at desk mind you. Just when you get an email asking you to make an offer.

When I think of Australia I think of heatwaves, beaches, spiders, sunburned people. What you thought about South America.

Hi Mr. Josh, I would love to see You in a flight to La Paz, one of the highest airports in the world! 😊

Viva Bolivia!

Food looks like economy class quality.

BoA is really popular among South American travellers because of their generous baggage allowance and retro planes. Two suitcases for a flight to Miami _in Economy_ is too good a deal, even with a layover in Santa Cruz de la Sierra and no IFE.

3:15 It is better to be cautious with spiders. I was bitten by a swarm of brown recluse spiders in Los Angeles and almost got a sepsis from this. But I am now fully recovered. Still working and exploring the world. I even did a trip back to the same region this year and was grateful to wander around Hilton LAX and the LAX airport. Noel was not that happy with the BoA 767 back then, the AirCon was not working. LH upgraded me last year for some 500 bucks on their old 747-400 business class to Toronto. 40 Euros are a bargain!

My wife is from Peru. We always asked for an upgrade to first class with LAN Airlines. Many times they just would upgrade us for free!

Namaste from Melbourne Australia ❤️🌏🦘🙏 Dear Josh Cahill it's very enjoyable beautiful interesting video. Love 💕 Regards ! God Bless You 🌹 !

Have you come to La Paz? Is crazy and beautiful🎉

17:18 which is Spanish for “the Paz”

Cool - I would definitely look at flying them

4:47 had me dying

That jet bridge thing was funny😅

A much better hard product compared to the older 767s.

The capital of Bolivia is Sucre my friend ;))

Try Belize in South America on the mail Island. You will like that place.

Favorite position is MISSIONARY 😂 Enjoy reading all your brutally honest reviews. Travel safe as always

Hope to see more videos from Central/South American countries.

omg u are adorbs. i wasn't sure if boliva was a country or a city lol

Safe travels. Cheers.

Of all the languages you speak, I was surprised one wasn't Spanish! 😃

Could the plastic cutlery be a back up rather than their standard ? Food looked interesting LOL I wonder what the Economy food service was like, but the €40 for your favourite position is pretty good value LOL

Welcome to SCZ, some facts, SCZ altitude is 350m above sea level, Bolivia’s capital is Sucre, not La Paz… enjoy the city that never sleeps!!!

Afraid of spiders and then flying to Asia and Australia/New Zealand 😂😂 Makes absolute sense 😅😅

Very nice video, but I just would like to correct you, with all respect, La Paz is not the capital of Bolivia, its the goverment headquaters only, the capital of Bolivia is the city of Sucre, wich is located around 400 km south east to La Paz, many people use to confuse that, any way, nice video 👍🏼

Dude you need to come check out Brazil it is awesome here. I came to Brazil for the first time in 1991 and keep coming back. Can’t get enough.

I thought La Paz was largest city, could be wrong though.

All 7 continents soon and so close to visiting the " Lost World".

Love the runaway suitcase 😂

Ah the lady who dropped her neck pillow and let her bag roll away is my hero. That's exactly what I look like when I travel. Chaos!

The best steaks in Santa Cruz! The BEST!

Not going to South America for 37 years is unforgivable. Go to Colombia and Argentina

Super and exactly what Business Class should be. The non pretentious service and food, and good bed. Seems, to me, much better than a lot of other airlines. I would buy it over othere airlines.

Dude, first time in South America, really? Wow, it would be nice to see your experience here in Rio de Janeiro....c'mon book a flight to Rio man....

Fly to La Paz and tell us how it feels de altitude

Now we know where the Virgin A330s flown from.Sydney to Perth went to.

Nice video Josh cahill Good video i like your videos

hello from Sydney Australia

Are you going to Colombia? you can try avianca airlines

The most expecting series!

What type of camera is being used?

But yes, if I had to choose, always better bedding > food quality.

Did they give you some Bolivian Marching powder?

40 Euro upgrade seems very suss to me! (If Josh Cahill comes - upgrade him).... my thoughts... Bernie in a rainy Sydney

Excellent service BOA in J CLASS

Come to Colombia!

Correction I am from Bolivia and the capital is not La Paz its SUCRE ! La Paz is the seat of Government !!

Awesome ❤

Hello josh, please come to sabah,borneo, you need try maswings airlines, 😊😊❤

When Brazil ???

think we all know what your favorite postition is !

Not Josh flirting with his viewers telling us his favourite position 😂

Lima peru is a nice flight hub

Did you shoot this video one month ago or something because you posted the videon on Antarctica one month ago and then you are saying you will be visiting Antarctica after this flight

Compare the A330 to the clunky old 767 that Noel took in 2019 (during the coup d’état there to boot)…

I'm trying to learn German so we can speak if I ever meet you! 😊

Why not Brazil? 🇧🇷

Shocking to see the ignorance about South America. I’m sure you ‘ll leave back to Europe with awesome memories and a different view of what the thing is really about here. Chile and Argentina are beautiful countries to visit, I’m sure you will feel welcome there. Not the mention the adventures in Antartica!
