I Took the Cheapest Flights in a Row from INDIA (Big Mistake)

Overview

A travel challenge in Delhi kicks off with a simple rule: each day, the creator uses Skyscanner to book the cheapest international flight available from their current location—without returning to countries they’ve already visited.

The theme quickly becomes “cheap, chaotic, and questionable logistics,” and the trip delivers in full.

Plot & standout moments

Delhi → Kathmandu (Bhutan Airlines)

• The first booking is super cheap (about $60) to Kathmandu via Bhutan Airlines, a carrier the creator barely knows.
• Check-in and security are stressful—especially given the creator’s history of airport-security issues—so they repeat a key lesson: don’t let the crowd rush you.
• On the plane, they notice alarming damage: a hole / roughly repaired wall inside the aircraft.
• Despite that, the flight itself is short and surprisingly okay:
  • decent seat
  • hot meal attempt
  • great views over the Himalayas

Kathmandu interlude

• They land and quickly handle visa-on-arrival.
• The vibe of Kathmandu is described as loud, chaotic, and never on time.
• Still, the creator settles into a hotel room and immediately begins searching for the next day’s flight.

Kathmandu → Dhaka (Biman Bangladesh)

• Flights are repeatedly checked and ruled in/out until they land on Bangladesh next (visa-on-arrival depends on hotel confirmation).
• Dhaka arrival brings more friction:
  • rampant queueing
  • strict-ish process moments
  • an “uh-oh” on the plane: tight legroom, broken comfort, and particularly worrying cabin conditions (temperature buildup, poor seating setup, and no real functioning airflow)
• A visa is obtained straightforwardly at the airport after payment/form steps.
• The taxi moment becomes a running joke:
  • the driver charges way too much
  • then the creator realizes the hotel is basically near the airport, making the “long drive” feel absurd

Dhaka → Bangkok (US-Bangla Airlines)

• The next flight is chosen partly out of necessity:
  • the creator can’t return to previous countries
  • the cheapest valid option ends up being US-Bangla Airlines
• The creator openly references the airline’s bad reputation and crash history.
• Despite the dread, the flight surprisingly goes fine:
  • decent service
  • good meal
  • the punchline feeling is basically: “lightning didn’t strike again.”
• Arrival includes more anti-fun: Bangkok immigration is brutal, taking over half an hour.

Bangkok → Saigon / Ho Chi Minh City (Viet Travel)

• Bangkok to Vietnam is chosen by price; Ho Chi Minh City is selected as the next target.
• Bangkok airport check-in becomes a nightmare:
  • immense queues
  • people trying to cut the line
  • this triggers the creator’s strongest “no” (their complaint about queuing)
• A standout brand/visual twist:
  • the aircraft looks suspiciously like a Spirit Airlines plane (yellow like Spirit’s branding)
  • they joke about finally getting a “Spirit moment” after flying multiple weird airlines with terrible conditions

Final leg: Vietnam landing & cliffhanger-style exhaustion

• After another long immigration ordeal, they finally get through.
• Getting to the hotel turns into a navigation comedy:
  • confusing walking routes
  • a road crossing they don’t like
  • directions from a Vietnamese man/policeman
• They complete the challenge’s end state:
  • India → Nepal → Bangladesh → Thailand → Vietnam
  • nonstop airport chaos and bargain-flight roulette

Jokes / key reactions that make it memorable

• Repeated commentary that cheap flights often equal bad judgment, early and throughout.
• Ongoing “safety vs. cheapness” anxiety, especially:
  • Bhutan Airlines (plane damage)
  • US-Bangla (history)
• A comedic highlight in Dhaka: taxi price confusion (short distance, long story, wrong price).
• Strong queue frustration in Bangkok—specifically anger at queue-cutting.
• The “Spirit Airlines but not Spirit” gag when they realize the Viet Travel plane looks like a Spirit-branded aircraft.
• Constant “this could have gone wrong” phrasing—undercut by the fact that flights mostly function, just with discomfort, delays, and weird cabin issues.

Video end outcome / takeaway

The creator finishes in Vietnam after stacking five countries over four+ days of cheap international hopping.

It’s exhausting and chaotic—but (shockingly) not disastrous: mostly uncomfortable, slow, and occasionally sketchy.
