Would you travel to Russia? Let me know... also feel free to follow me on instagram.com/gotravelyourway for daily updates! :)
I certainly would love to, josh thanks a million sir, please when are you coming back to Nigeria? 😂😂😂😂😂
Never.
I would absolutely go to Russia! But I wouldn’t go to a lot of other European countries…or to Ukraine, which had a reputation - or has? - a reputation as the most corrupt country in Europe.
yes
And why would that be Steven? @@stevehyland8345
It’s interesting that you have received so many questions at the border. As a Dutch person i’ve been to Russia 5 times in the last year and a half and I never even received a single question even though we are seen as an unfriendly nation by Russia. They only made a joke once and asked if I had weed on me😅.
maybe he just wants to avoid critics as most of his audience is infected by the western ant-russian propaganda, so he must to invent "troubles" just to please them.
People with a lot of recently visited countries might be considered more suspicious
its just because rusian FSB before fly there knew everything what they need to know dont be so dumb
right now they got elections and security alert was raised ,considering terrorist atempts inside russia....they cheking everything
That's what The Netherlands is famous for 😅🤣
This type of journalism is exactly why this channel shines through the morass of aviation-tubers.
''LITTLE GIRLS FEELINGS TRUMP FREEDOM OF PRESS PRIVACY COMPLAINT REPOST MIRROR'' -This is mirrored because Starbucks think they can censor reality. Wrong you can't. I see! You're that kind of crazy wacko! Congratulations incel!
that's amazing at 15:57 that you went back through security just in order to be able to get back to the taxi guy airside and complain! out of this world dedication! 👏
It is not real security check and you don't come to air side. It is like in several other countries, there is a pre security check before you can enter the airport building and come to the arrival area or the check in. Same is in Turkey for example. The real security control to come to air side is later.
....... Do you know Jesus Christ can set you free from sins and save you from hell today Jesus Christ is the only hope in this world no other gods will lead you to heaven There is no security or hope with out Jesus Christ in this world come and repent of all sins today Today is the day of salvation come to the loving savior Today repent and do not go to hell Come to Jesus Christ today Jesus Christ is only way to heaven Repent and follow him today seek his heart Jesus Christ can fill the emptiness he can fill the void Heaven and hell is real cone to the loving savior today Today is the day of salvation tomorrow might be to late come to the loving savior today Romans 6.23 For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. John 3:16-21 16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. 17 For God sent not his Son into the world to condemn the world; but that the world through him might be saved. 18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that light is come into the world, and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For every one that doeth evil hateth the light, neither cometh to the light, lest his deeds should be reproved. 21 But he that doeth truth cometh to the light, that his deeds may be made manifest, that they are wrought in God. Mark 1.15 15 And saying, The time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: repent ye, and believe the gospel. 2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Jesus
I enjoyed this episode as I’ve always wanted to go to Russia but …….. I also want to say that it really enhances your vlog and our ‘experience’ when you include some scenes from the city/country you’re visiting - like you did here in Moscow. I’ve watched almost all of your videos and that element of showcasing the place you’re ‘landing’ in takes it to the next level. I’ve seen your old IG photos of your travels ( Afghanistan) and loved them as a travel enthusiast myself. Keep safe and well.
Just visit Russia without any but
I would like to thank you very much for your report Josh. I am from Germany and lived in Moscow for 4 years because of work. I met many wonderful people and I also miss Aeroflot. Let's hope for the best❤
I can’t wait until Aeroflot comes back to EU countries

Great video Josh! Really enjoyed it! You were very brave to decide to go but thanks for creating this interesting video. Looking forward to all future videos. Your channel is an inspiration to me! J
Consistently the most straight-up aviation KZheadr we’ve got. Loved this content Josh
I think Josh has had a bit of influence on Sam Chui; in his latest video, Sam is actually being critical of Air India's product, sounding honestly just like Josh! Well done 🤗👏👏👏
More like even Sam Chui can’t gush over Air India
Air India obviously didn't pay him enough
@@jackotgould Don't give the Russian government any ideas.
I watched a Sam Chui video once some years ago and never bothered since; too fake and it was so bloody obvious. He's a paid influencer thats all, and as boring as bat sh!t.
@@jackotgouldhe would praise Ryanair if he gets paid enough
"Hey Josh" I watch your channel more than the news because I get more out of it 😊
I’m British, I recently travelled to Russia to visit my girlfriends parents. We flew into St Petersburg and was held at the border for approximately 2.5 hours. The FSB staff who dealt with me were extremely professional, it was scary at first but they really only care you have the correct visa. What a fantastic country once I was inside, I am really looking forward to going back 👍🏻
Also every foreigner gets held at the border, not just you.
How was it? I love Saint Petersburg
@@borissh9932cold but an amazing city, much more beautiful than Paris but with a vibe similar to Amsterdam.
@@jackhenderson9798 it’s considered a cultural capital of Russia, I guess you have visited the Hermitage museum too. The women are super beautiful!
@@borissh9932 yes I visited the Hermitage, it was stunning.
Hi Josh, I had the pleasure to work in and out of Moscow and St Petersburg for 20 years. I saw the good and bad of the country within this time. The architecture, museums and as you said the Metro is stunning in Moscow as well as St Petersburg. The people I worked with were amazing, but sadly we lost the office over what has happened. You are right, Moscow is a bucket list city, in Winter as well as summer. If I remember, the Raddison where you stayed is part of Stalin Sisters, which are 7 near identical buildings around the city. I used to stay in the Hilton Leningradskaya which was also one of the sisters. The hotel was just amazing, we stayed there a lot and even received an invitation to the staff party which is something that I will never forget. We always flew BMI (back in the time) and then British Airways in and out of DME and then the Sapsan train up to St Pete's. The BA crew were not allowed off the aircraft, so it was one of the longest working days for them within the BA fleet. It was always interesting going in and out of immigration, even with a full working visa sanctioned by them...! Happy Travels , your vlog brought back a lot of fond memories.
Strange, I've never had an issue going through immigration in Russia (even in recent years - as recent as two months ago). It's pretty normal actually. Exactly like most other countries with the exception of the United States.
Depends who you worked for.....@@dennisrettke
@@andywhite6713 what's that supposed to mean? I am Australian and arrived on a tourist visa. Lol. If you are talking about the US immigration experience, then if you're American you would not know. They hassle each and every foreigner regardless of where they are from or for what purpose they arrive. Once I became a permanent resident I could go through the "citizens and residents" lane. That experience was much different - a friendly "welcome home".
This guy's got some balls to go there. Respect for all of this
Seriously? Balls?? Ive been to Ukraine three times in the last two years. To Odesa, to Kharkiv, to Izyum, to Sloviansk, in Donetsk Oblast, just a short 20 minute drive from Bakhmut. I was with 20 km of the actual Russian border east of Kharkiv. Its fine. Its not like the propaganda you are tube fed from mainstream media and politicians.

@Newton432-ip5kvnope
I just returned home to California from Moscow a few days ago, around the same time this video was made. It was my fourth visit since February 2022 and my experiences were similar on the Aeroflot flight I flew between Moscow and Samarkand, Uzbekistan. Last week, upon exiting the country, I was taken back for a 30 minute "interview" at passport control. Completely understandable given the terrorist bombings that have occurred in Russia and the lethal aid being supplied by the West. It's worth noting that, unlike the EU and US, which harass Russian visitors extensively even before the invasion, and now make visa issuance to them or entry all but impossible in many cases, Russia has kept its doors wide open to Western visitors. In four visits and more than six months of aggregate time there in the last two years I've not had a single negative experience. Such incidents at passport control and others mentioned are small inconveniences compared to the wonderful experiences that await. Nice video Josh!
What an amazing trip. To go there during war is adventurous! What a truly amazing and beautiful place to be. The subway stations are incredible with their chandeliers and paintings. The snow looks gorgeous!
To be honest its really business as usual.
There is no war in Russia, military operations on the territory of Ukraine. It is absolutely safe in Russia, come visit
Amazing video, Josh! Thanks for your hard work and dedication.
Good on you mate, putting yourself out there to report for us! Great story buddy!
"thats is still more than you get on an 2,5 hour Lufthansa flight" says it all !!!
Made my day 😂
Looks like the Aeroflot A320 has the SHARP kit, the Short Airfield Package. It allows the takeoff and landings on very short runways.
love the sober approach with the music and mood etc. well done! and your stance on the war!
What a great topic Josh ! It really helps so many people to understand the global aviation industry and become informed consumers. Lots of love as always mate !😊
One of the reasons you found the fries better in Russia. Mc Donald’s, tries to source as much of its products locally as possible. Obviously they did that with the fries and the new owners, maintained that relationship. You will find Potatoes from colder countries have much more flavour than others. This is very true as well, with seafood
very intersting!
French fries were imported from Poland. Now, they has found local producers)
Not a new owners techically, a company is now under control by one of the former major franchise owners Moreover, McD retained the right to repurchase, hoping for better times. Even the fonts and color scheme have not changed, only the logo. Therefore producers within the country remained the same
I've accumilated 25,000 aerofloat miles in the last two years. I've flown their 330, 777 and 350. They paid off the leasing companies early this year. They somehow manage to get the spare parts. True, there is a huge issue of maintenance checks when the war ends. As long as you're flying Aerofloat, you'll be fine. I am not taking any sides but Russia's really safe to visit. They're really nice to tourists.
The pay offs are only a fraction of the original values and not for all airplanes.
Iconic hotels ! Bucket list of iconic hotels for travellers: Raffles at Singapore, Oriental at Bangkok. Manilla in… Manilla. Waldorf Historia in NY, Dorchester in London, Adlon in Berlin. Moskva in Belgrade. The Nelson in Cape Town. I love them all.
Taj Mahal Palace in Mumbai, The Dolder Grand in Zurich to add to your list.

I have always wanted to know how Aeroflot was able to keep their airplanes flying amidst the sanctions. Thanks for sharing some insight to this. Moscow is indeed a gem.
It is not "stolen" but with this whole clown fiesta with "sanctions" we cant return it back without breaking "sanctions" hahaha As well as other countries cant take it either without breaking sanctions
Super video J. Like the way you vlog. You are living my life literally everyday. Super proud of you.
Moscow is a great city. I've been several times (on business) and returned in 2018 for a leisure visit. So much on offer - and very clean and safe.
I've been waiting for this video for so long and it's finally here! 😄 You have done an amazing job, great and unprejudiced report!!
Great stuff Josh! Was really looking forward to this video
Great video, Can't wait for the entire series. I wonder if you were picked randomly for secondary check, or you were targetted form when you boarded? Cheers
They (border guard, part of FSB) interrogate people from "Unfriendly countries" and also Russians who left the country avoiding mobilization or who emigrated some time ago. And that's why they're asking if you have a Telegram account - if you're a Russian citizen and you wrote something against the war or Putin's regime in private conversations or even if you're subscribed to some "wrong" channels - you'll definitely have a huge fine or even could be imprisoned from 2 to 15 years.
@@SnarkOrel 🤦♀️😂 какое вранье. Вы там больны от вашей пропаганды. В настоящее время, в мире нет страны лучше, разумнее и безопаснее чем Россия. Пусть нас спасет Бог от того, что происходит на западе- трансы, педофилы, наркота и безумие.
You’re a brave boy, Josh! As an American, I don’t think I’d have the nerve, at this point, to travel to Russia. But thank you for going and showing us around! Moscow does look like a beautiful city. Perhaps when the world is at peace again, I’ll make it over there.
Aside from some hassle on the border control if you are really just a tourist you should be ok to travel here. We are pretty chill. Unless you are western spy who cannot squat like a slav!
i suspect he's gonna get kidnapped as a political prisoner
What is this fear of Russia? You guys are crazy brainwashed
@TheFpsBoss He is not the USA citizen 😂
Nothing scary about visiting Russia, yall are crazy brainwashed. (Whoever reported my comment, get a life)
Well, why is it stolen? There is a contract under which the company leasing the aircraft is obliged to pay a penalty in case of early termination. But in the West they decided to take away the planes for free. Therefore, Russia did not return them in this situation. And I’m even ready to pay for their leasing, only the West has forbidden itself to accept payments from Russian companies. That's how we live. But one more thing - several hundred used aircraft thrown onto the market at once - what will Western companies do with them? Here you have to sell new ones, but here there will be a whole year of downtime while you shovel the old ones. Most of it would have to be written off.
Wow, what an experience! Thanks for sharing Josh
Amazing....glad you finally made it. What a stunning hotel lobby....looks cold
Josh , an amazing video , I couldn’t look away , you have got some guts to visit Russia at the moment , i have watched your videos for about 18 months now about the flights you make. I have just watched and liked , this one is a little different , much respect to you and I can’t wait to see what happens on part 2
Guts? It's business as usual here in Russia. Something tells me that you are high on western propaganda.
Had the most fun watching this episode; incredible reporting skills, and the scenery was stunning...felt like I was there...safe travels and thank you!
Super high quality! As a fellow German, war and conflict is so horrible!

0:13 the Russian map is not adjused. Belarus is not Russia too. Also Turkey. Its probably an airline or timezone map or similar.
it is a timezone map indeed
@@yar1k209But when did the ukrainian parliament decide that crimea switches the time zone? It never did. Which basically means that yes, this airline regards this as russian territory (which is incorrect). Thats like displaying Washington as part of north korean timezone, because rocket man has decided it is. I mean they didnt display the timezones purely by the location, but by the legal status. and decided to use the russian legal status, which only matters if they accept it as russian territory

Great video Josh, looking forward to your next video.
Excellent video! Visited St Petersburg and Moscow in 2000. Such a memorable trip. One thing I thought was odd when flying from St Pete to Moscow, the plane descended nose down. It was a little scary . Looking forward to seeing the rest of your trip.
Last time I visited Moscow was during world war 2. It seems to have changed a lot
Great video Josh! Love all you do to show you viewers all about your travels.
outstanding video!!! So interesting to see the coming ones.
Hey Josh, you took a trip to Greenland - thank god for that, we love you! 🙂
There are some really good live KZhead feeds from airports there!
Great job, amasing video as always 💯👌. Many thanks Josh 🙏
Hey Josh, so lovely to see you in moscow. Did you find gas mask in your cupboard! First time I saw it I was surprised
What a fascinating, exciting and timely experience! Thank you for braving it and taking us with you on the cutting edge! How did you get away with so much filming? On board tbe plane especially???
Are you serious? He went to Russia, not North Korea. Try searching for walking tours in Russian cities on KZhead, some are even live videos. You guys really are getting stupider by the day due to your lying western media.
I've been to Russia four times since the war started, as a citizen of an 'unfriendly country', and in my experience I haven't ever been pulled aside for questioning (or see it happen to anyone else).
Did you also visit it before this started?
@@mineairoHD Yeah I did, back in 2019, there was also no problem getting in
Same here. But I have seen it happen to a lot of people at the Moscow and Saint Petersburg airports.
Thanks for the awesome video. Very interesting how it looks during war times.
There's no war, it's simply a special military operation.🙄
Hi! Man, it was so nice to play Tchaikovsky track on the vid background! You would'n believe how many good folks here in Russia are looking forward to hear this beautiful tune over all national media one day! Keep doing!

Hi Josh! As a Muscovite, I'm really glad you liked the city. I've been to many capitals around the world, but Moscow will forever hold a special place in my heart. Next time, try to come to Moscow in the summer, so you can walk around and enjoy the architecture and parks without freezing! As for the interrogations, unfortunately, they can happen in these difficult times. Even Russian citizens are sometimes questioned. The key is not to have any compromising content on your phone (cat photos are fine), and also, no matter how "friendly" the interrogating officer might seem, it's not wise to be too honest with them. It's better to tell them what they want to hear, not what you actually think :)
"It's better to tell them what they want to hear, not what you actually think" - the same is absolutely true nowdays for almost any Western country, including Germany and the USA.
@@alexanderlevitin1390 never got interrogated here, can't agree
lol you are full of shit. Only one of these countries are kidnapping children and forcing their citizens to fight in a genocial war.
Traveled to Russia 16 times starting in 1996. Visa process was always a pain but no trouble at the border itself. So sad Russia had a chance to become a normal country but instead has returned to autocracy. Now, as an American, there is a danger of being held hostage.
@@warrenSPQRXxl Do you mean by normal country the USA with its ruling clans and military-industrial oligarchy making money from wars?
i lived in Moscow from 2009 to 2014 doing my uni and i can tell you, the city is so beautiful and unique that i never ever stopped exploring it and always being amazed, i hope all this ends soon and i can go visit again. Great vid Josh
I think this is up there with your best work Josh! Current, informative, very interesting with a respectful dose of humour. Really looking forward to the next part of this series. 🍻 (We need a vodka emoji😅)
The architecture looks amazing. Thank you for sharing your experience. Looking forward to part 2 :)
LOL Josh the spy sat in the seat across the aisle (10.19) is the same guy watching you on the bus (3.55) and who wasn't sure if he needed a pee at (6.10 - 6.20)!!

... and the spy boy as a mouse dressed in an elevator
10:19,3:55 and 6:10-6:20
Those are literally 3 different persons. The first one 3:55 is more Asian looking, 6:10-6:20 is younger than the man on the isle. Cmon guys, look closely.
That's him again in the lift at 28:33
From Bangladesh , I have been watching your videos for last couple of years and really enjoy watching your videos
I visited Moscow in 1998. We were opening a sales office there. It was a chaotic time then, with Boris Yeltsin as president. I found it fascinating, but was not entirely comfortable. You are very brave to do this during the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Great video. Thanks!
Another thing worth mentioning is that Aeroflot still keeps the SkyTeam branding on their packaging and stuff.
Their SkyTeam membership is only suspended, not cancelled.
Thank you for coming to Moscow, Josh! It is so rare now (that’s why it is valueable) to see our city throw the eyes of a western foreigner! Thank you for being unbiased! Hopefully, there’re not going to be any issues at the rest of you Russian trip. Looking forward seeing its Kaliningrad’ part.
This is the best aviation channel out there and i watch quite a few, Josh awesome report and very happy i have found your channel now. absolutely awesome !!
Hey Josh, welcome to Russia! Thank you for your message about the dark side of many countries around the world, It's very refreshing to hear a Westerner say this after the demonization that Russia, her government, and her people have been subject to for over two years. As a Russian repatriate with family members living abroad, travelling has become quite a bit more expensive; I used to fly to my other home country for roughly $350-450 for a round trip back in the day. Now the same flight would take me twice as long and cost north of $600, often significantly so.
It is so refreshing to peek at Moscow beyond politics and stuff. Keep up the terrific work, mate. Crack on. 🚀
Moscow isn’t real Russia. That’s a common Russian saying. Life is much different outside of Moscow and St Petersburg.
@@GreenxEmerald it's not. Except for the metro, it's mostly the same.
Yeah, just like New York is not like the rest of the US, London and Paris aren't respresentative of their respective countries, so what's your point? Russia is diverse and beaultiful with rich histroy, culture, architecture and nations within nations. Every major city in Russia has its own character which also very refereshing unlike the western template same shnitz everywhere towns.
I was set to work on a film in St. Petersburg In April of '22. I had never been Russia and was excited to go to the home country of my family (great grandparents). I'm American so.... that didn't end up happening. Probably won't be able to go for many, many years. So, thanks Josh for the vicarious experience.

Why dont you go now?
Why won't that happen? Coz you chose not to visit anymore?

Very interesting stuff there Josh.
Great video as always, Josh! So glad you finally paid a visit. Been waiting on this for ages! The state of aeroflot has gone downhill even since all this started. I highly suggest S7 and Pobeda, those are much friendlier, cleaner and more welcoming. Huge fan of yours, hello from Russia!
what a wonderful impression of Moskow, thank you for giving us this picture. And one of your best videos!
Well, this frame isn't actually stolen - otherwise it wouldn't be able to fly to countries other than Kyrgyzstan or Iran. It is now owned either by Aeroflot or by a russian lessor.
Negative 15° celsius? That is beyond cold and you waited out there waiting for that ride! But even at night you can tell the city is beautiful.

Hi Josh. Nice video. Enjoyed it a lot. Russia is a fantastic nation. I traveled many times to Russia also in winter. I even married a fantastic lovely Russian lady. Unfortunately its not so easy anymore to travel to Russia without a good reason. I truely hope that this will change in the future. Also learned the Russian language to communicate easier , i know its not easy but i can recommend it! Many whishes from Flanders and keep on making nice videos!
Far and away the best content you have produced! Fascinating, it felt like I was actually there.
What a neat video. Really appreciate your thorough, thoughtful reporting.
Great Video Josh! I want to go to Russia but I have no time to do that. Maybe in the future.
Thanks for this video. I think many people are interested in Russian aviation, but also interested how Russia is right now. Great music and a lovely host. Thanks again ❤
Neat trip. I loved the music you have playing in the background.
Hi Josh - Being Irish (Republic of Ireland) and living in the U.K. 22 years, I’m fascinated by this trip to Russia and the Irish connection to this - I love your use of classical music Audio tracks in this video (perhaps you should do this in all future videos?) - I know that many years ago, in Moscow Airport, the Irish Aer Rianta used to set up duty free shops in Moscow airport and there used to be Aeroflot flights from Shannon to Moscow - Ireland is (probably) considered a hostile western country by Russia because of the Irish government’s support for Ukraine, yet Mr Putin has also expressed sympathy for the Irish people during Covid lockdowns 🇮🇪☘️🇮🇪❤️
dude, you're doing a great job. Relax and don't listen to anyone. Best of luck to you!
I'm shivering just watching you outside in Moscow! Not sure I ever realized just how beautiful the city is until you introduced me to it just now. Wow. Thank you for this tour; looking forward to part 2. Have a fun and safe time in Moscow.
So hard to get in, Josh your so lucky! What an interesting time.

Super interesting video and I’m looking forward to the second part of it!
Hi Josh, I spent 5 years in KZ, flew with Qazaq Air. Spent many nights in Atyrau, based in Astana and Almaty. A beautiful country!
23:43 that's because Russia isn't at war against the people of Ukraine, but it intervened against the NATO proxies that occupied Ukraine's government and military. Which is quite the opposite
As a Half Russian-half Kazakh I’m so happy u go to these countries and even if their at war, Russia has an amazing aviation history and I’m glad u tried to discover more bout also Russia and Kazakhstan are friends tho they’re not only made of bad so thank you ❤️
Have been in KZ Kazakh ppl are sweet and polite....btw ive a Kazakh song in my phone😁
When - not if - russia invades Kazakhstan, if it it's allowed a victory in Ukraine, who will you support? I know who, but just trying to pin you down.
Awww that’s so sweet 🥹 @@IlyushinIL76MD
I honestly don’t know personally I don’t think Russia is gonna attack because of their history and relationships together 🇰🇿🇷🇺@@tally1604
Bam!! What a badass intro 😂first 2 min could be of the best and boldest intros aviation vloggers I have ever heard making 👌 rest felt usual
Hi! im from Kaliningrad and im really looking forward to watch your next video! Kaliningrad is a wonderful city so i hope you enjoy it!! Also this video is great. It is really interesting to see how people from other countries react to something that has already become common for me. Love your videos!

I have a slight idea of what the interrogation might have felt like, I got interrogated upon leaving Belarus once because I accidentally stayed in the country one day too long (math is hard). I was super nervous because I thought that I might miss my flight back home, but luckily it didn't take nearly as long as for Josh and the guy was also really nice. Funnily enough, they let me off with a warning but my friend there got fined for having me live at her place illegally for one day (it wasn't a large fine though). I've been to Minsk twice but sadly I haven't made it to Russia yet, I really want to, but right now it's just really not practical for obvious reasons. It's all just a big shame really and I hope for the war to end soon.
Very interesting and informative. Thanks Josh. Love from Pakistan.
Thank you Josh for your kind words and honest reporting, you are a true ambassador for peace.
@Newton432-ip5kv What do you really know about the Deen you're preaching? Are you an authority in these questions or are you seeking a mild judgement on yawm al-din? Do not bother people with ignorance, remember there can be no compulsion in religion.
I’m not agree with @JoshCahill about that “stolen” A320. I agree that Russia definitely didn’t give back all planes what was leased,but at the time of the video Aeroflot and others buyback all their leased aircraft’s! Also if that A320 would be “stolen” it’s wouldn’t be able to make international flights!
Hi Josh! Actually there’s many more flights that enter the European airspace daily, not only the Kaliningrad flights. The flights to Egypt cross EU airspace on the airway that borders Greek and Cyprus airspace.
