HIGHEST AIRPORT in the WORLD - Altitude SICKNESS!

My Dream is a Flight from Ushuaia (Área Aeroportuaria) to Rarotonga International Airport wish should be impossible

[@watchhans]

Congratulations! As a former flight attendant with Lufthansa my highest airport and layover was Addis Abeba in Ethiopia. According to my GPS-device my hotel room there was at an altitude of 2300 metres, and I always had problems to sleep at that hight. I don't want to imagine how 4000 metres feel!

[@amduser86]

2300 meters is still fine for sleeping. stuff kind of gets weird after about 3000 meters. at least for healthy people living at sea level. If you have problem's at less than that, go to a doctor. that is not an normal reaction. i p.s. i go thru this every winter, at never ever had i had a problem with that ...

[@amduser86]

@@nishu413 than can you please explain to me all those Indians on the glaciers in the alps. they look so misplaced there and i never understood it.

[@MichaelReidOttawa]

When I lived in Bogotá, I had to sleep with the window cracked open for fresh air, due to the altitude.

[@AirShark95]

I spent 1 week at 4000m in a small mountain community in Peru. The altitude is NO joke lol!

[@RobEJC]

I'm shocked that upon landing and entering the terminal, that someone from Qatar Airways was not present to tell Josh AGAIN that he's banned for refusing to being bullied.

[@ThePatriot-gm1fg]

What terminal? I do believe Qatar flies to Chengdu Tianfu, which is the airport Josh flew out of for this video, but it's not a major carrier there.

[@cliffwheeler7357]

I can appreciate how you were feeling at that altitude Josh. In 2001, along with ten other guys we flew from Kathmandu to Lhasa the capital of Tibet. Lhasa airport is 3500 meters above sea level, so a bit lower than Daocheng. However, the reason for being in Lhasa, and this is going to sound a bit crazy, the eleven of us were returning to Kathmandu, but by BIKE including a stop over at the north base camp of Mount Everest. On several occasions we were as high as 5,200 meters. When you were climbing those steps near the airport terminal, your heavy breathing brought all the memories of that Tibet journey flooding back. Great video Josh, looking forward to your next one. Have a great Christmas, wherever you will be spending it.

[@awesomehli]

All of it is my bucket list! You're on a roll and 2023 has been your best year for content! Truly unique and fun!

[@stanleovart]

My bucket list talking about airports: 1) Shortest flight in Westray, for sure 2) St.barts airport as one of most complicated (bonus - Princess Juliana St.Maarten famous airport) 3) Ushuaia airport - at the very end of Americas. Nice place anyway 4) Saba/ Bonair - Juancho E. Yrausquin Airport - as one of the craziest 5) Bhutan, that airport you showed recently!

[@MW-zm8sd]

no Lukla on the list?

[@stanleovart]

@@MW-zm8sd forgot about that :)) - definitely yes 😀😀

[@hongjuanwu7539]

My first one would be Kai Tak, which is not possible anymore...

Nice list, I will add Skardu airport

[@fleishum]

The highest-altitude airport I flew into was La Paz, Bolivia. I started feeling the altitude within minutes. I spent five days there and it always felt like I was walking uphill.

[@shortylucy]

I’m so impressed, Josh! You’re killing it this year! Talk about ending this year with some epic videos! I CANNOT wait to go on this adventure with you! I’m so glued and thanks for taking us along. Love your work! ❤

[@176MarkW]

What a great video. Actually, I like the idea of you doing more 'challenge' type videos such as Highest to Lowest and whatever other concepts you can think of. Maybe you could do a "pointless journeys" style video e.g. London Gatwick to London Heathrow via as many different airports as are feasible in a single 24 hour period. Stuff like that. Keep the great content coming, Josh - and thank you for entertaining and informing us in 2023!

Good review as always keep it up !

[@corralimorph]

Well done Josh. I remember as a professional cameraman flying over the volcano near Mexico City I was so overcome by the altitude, (hanging out of the chopper with the door off at 4,000 metres,) that I was turning the camera on when putting it down, and turning it off when apparently filming…the rushes weren’t so good! Good luck with your record attempt!

[@lucagunetti7250]

You are a true legend Josh. I m 42, expat in Phuket (doing my Ma over here) and thanks to your video I have defeated my fear of flying. Years ago I had to take double Xaxan dose just to get to the airport, after watching your videos for a long time, I've conquered my fears and now I enjoy the whole process, including getting more "expertise" on aircrafts and such. Thank you SIR:)

[@elaine4498]

Come on Josh, I do love you!!! I'm a local from Chengdu, even though, I have never been to Daocheng Yading, even it's in my province. I'd soooo happy to see you to visit different places in the world, that can make me to see the different world through your channel, please enjoy your stay in Chengdu and China.

[@worldofaviationYT]

Taking a flight on an 146/Avro RJ or Fokker 100 again would be my bucket thing. Never thought they'll both disappear in the northern hemisphere almost overnight.

Great review Josh - thank you very much. I have been in La Paz airport (Bolivia) "El Alto" - the highest in the American continent with 4.100 m altitude. I would love to go back to the most Southern commercial airport in Ushuaia (Fireland) - Argentina.... Happy New Year, Josh!!!

[@thereisnoaddress]

you got lucky! when I flew there in October, there was some sort of military mission there and the CAs told us to close our windows before landing (also until takeoff on the return flight) so I never got to see the gorgeous mountains. Thanks for the video!

This was awesome Josh! Congrats on this flight. Keep up the great work! Suscribed...

Another wonderful flight/airport review. I always enjoy your geniune and honest review and have had a subscription for quite a while.One oddity I have to mention. I have also reviewed your Air Calin review and confirmed my subscription. However, this highest airport review, I had to subscribe again to your channel, which is quite odd.

[@kanukalle3393]

Hi Josh, what a trip uploaded right before Christmas :) Thanks for sharing! Looking forward to your next one. One suggestion from my side: I am not a frequent flyer at all but I do love flying and your always friendly attitude, thats why I subscribed to your channel (to give you an idea what "not a frequent flyer" means for me: Last flight was with Air Berlin from TXL to DUS - haha ). If you film the takeoff like in this episode please turn off the music and let us hear the engines! I my opinion the takeoff is always the best moment ;) Cheers and Merry Christmas to you and your family.

[@almighty3946]

Merry Christmas Josh (or whatever you celebrate)

[@paulturner2911]

Josh, another great video Sir, nice work! One of the places I've been to, and I don't know if you've ever been is St.Maartens in the Dutch Antillies. If you've never been there and sat on Maho Beach, OMG man you've never lived! Having a B747 over your head at around 30-50ft is awesome to say the least. Sadly the B747 doesn't fly into there any longer (nor the A340) but you can still get that feeling with the A330 and B767 over your head. If you've not tried it, DO IT before they close the beach down or something. It would make a superb video too. Thanks for the great content, and Happy Christmas!

Aviation Bucket List? For me not able to afford those dreams I am so lucky as a person living on a State Pension to have bucket list memories😊😊 Flying aircraft long gone such as Hawker Siddeley Tridents and sitting in one of the rear facing seats. The stunningly beautiful Lockheed L1011's, both 200 and 500 Series. A short leg on an Aerolineas Argentinas 747SP (FCO-FRA) and being allowed to visit the cockpit as we flew over the Alps. And in 1976, a Saudia 707 (JED-SAH). And not too mention DC10s and 727s. Good memories.

[@dominikschmalstieg2912]

Small note, Mount Elbrus (5642 m above sea level) is also considered in Europe - but living in Western Europe, the Mont Blanc is a more common reference to me.

Hi Josh I'm from Australia love your channel, Every video put how many days Qatar airways have banned you make a statement. Thank you for this great video I've never heard of this place in China and I get tired just walking up a couple of steps. I love curried prawns and rice if that counts as Chinese food as that's the only thing I order at my local Chinese restaurant and my aviation wish is just once travel first class. The closes thing I got was travelling from Australia to USA was a whole row to my self for 13hrs and made a poor man's business class bed I slept for 7hrs straight that's even the longest I've slept that includes my own bed.

Amazing trip and video

[@kevingould6725]

Great video Josh . Altitude is hard on the lungs and heart. Having experienced the effects I’m sure you are right to be a little apprehensive. It’s doing things slowly and drinking loads of water. Just one correction Mount Elbrus is the highest mountain in Europe at 5642m . However you did fantastic and especially climbing those steps so soon after arriving.

[@makiwa]

My Buckit list was flying on Concorde - I did have a chance to fly when I was in Harare, (I was living there at the time) in 1993 but I thought "next time".... Sadly next time never came and now I could be a millionaire and it is still out of reach...... One tip, drink LOTS of liquid at that altitude!!! Dehydration can happen very quickly!

[@woutergijs5246]

Missed my bucket list several times: Vung Tau to Con Dao Island on the Mi-8 helicopter. The RAF Tristar from Brize Norton to Ascension Island. Now on modern plane. Or to St Helena from South Africa. And the defunct flights with VLM from Antwerp to Jersey on the F-50

[@janicehopwood9528]

Josh - I felt out of breath just watching you! I think you are very adventurous attempting the highest to the lowest airports. My bucket list would be to fly first class on something like Emirates. I help people who have a fear of flying; I accompany them on a course and an experience flight. As a result I often miss out on the enjoyment of flying because I am so focused on the person I am supporting I barely notice the actual flight. It would be nice to do it for myself in luxury. I look forward to your onward journey. Hopefully you'll breathe easier.😊

[@doctorsteve5838]

Josh doesn't get scared! 💪 Lol

[@molivil]

For some context... In the event of airplane pressurization loss, passenger airplanes are instructed to descend to an altitude where passengers can breathe without supplementary oxygen. That altitude is 10,000ft (3048 meters). This plane landed at at an airport that is at 14,471 ft (4411 meters)!
