Josh Cahill (born 17 June 1986) is a German aviation vlogger, airline critic and blogger who presents airline reviews primarily through his YouTube channel.[2] He helped organise Afghanistan's first all-female flight together with Kam Air in February 2021 on a flight from Herat to Kabul for which he received the Aviation Achievement Award.[3] Cahill is also a Czech and Australian citizen.
Career
Cahill started travelling in 2005 with his first trip to Lithuania.[4]
In 2009, he hitchhiked from Germany to Iran, stating that "getting lost in Iran" has changed his life as well as his perspective on travel.[5] In 2013, Cahill founded his award-winning blog Go Travel Your Way, with a strong focus on airline reviews and less common destinations. He received some media attention for visiting Afghanistan as a tourist in 2015 as well as to North Korea in 2017, which he described as one of his most exciting trips to date.[6][7][8]
In July 2015, Cahill posted his first flight review on his YouTube channel and has since received over 121 million views. He flies at an average of 150 times per year, and has travelled to more than 100 countries. His most-watched review has over 22 million views.[9][4]
In 2018, Cahill won "Best Airline Channel" at the TBC Asia Travel Blogger Awards.[10][11]
On 22 December 2020, Cahill was part of the delivery of Uganda Airlines first Airbus A330-800 from Toulouse to Entebbe led by General Katumba Wamala, the then Ugandan Minister of Works and Transport and received by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni.[12][13]
On 24 February 2021, Cahill documented Afghanistan’s first all-female crew flight on Kam Air which he helped to organise. The airlines first female Afghan pilot, 22-year-old Mohadese Mirzaee, joined Captain Veronica Borysova from Ukraine in piloting the Boeing 737-500 from Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul to Herat. The flight took 90 minutes. Cahill described the moment as historic, "given that during the Taliban occupation, women [in Afghanistan] had no rights".[14][15] The event made global headlines, and was featured on the BBC, DW and the Business Insider.[16] It was later revealed that both the airline and Cahill received threats by the Taliban, who were opposed to the idea.[17]
In April 2021, Cahill received the AeroTime Aviation Achievement Award 2021 for covering the Kam Air flight and "In recognition of his dedication to the aviation industry, for his focus on equality and to promoting diversity and inclusion in the sector." The award was presented to him by former EU Ambassador to Afghanistan, Vygaudas Ušackas.[18]

Cahill flies around 150 times each year obviously knows a thing or two about what makes a good flight and although the staff acted unprofessionally he'll perhaps think twice the next time he is compelled to post a bad review during a flight.
