This Indian Airline Parody Video Is A Brutally Honest Take on State of Flying Today


Good airline parody videos are hard to come by these days, as the reality of flying today renders the absurdity of it somewhat obsolete.

This brilliant new video from India, called "Honest Indian Flights" caught our eye: it mixes the right cultural nuances of being an Indian and Indian flying behavior, mixed with the universal reality of low-cost airline flying today.

Some parts are in Hindi, the main language in India, but most of the larger jokes do come through even if you don't get every word of it. (Warning: NSFW, some explicit language)

What would happen if everybody on an Indian flight were to speak out loud what they really really mean? Check out an honest version of every single Indian flight - ever. (Turn On for English Captions)

If you've ever flown Air India -- or any low-cost carrier for that matter -- you would have seen some versions of this behavior. Bitingly true.
