WORLD'S HARDEST APPROACH! Flying to Paro in Business Class with DrukAir

Welcome to DrukAir, Bhutan’s Flag Carrying Airline! More importantly though, welcome to PARO BHUTAN! Paro is home to the world’s toughest approach flown by a jet. I hope you all enjoy the video, and stay tuned for next week’s video where we can get a more in depth look at the airport and the departure from this sunken valley

Beautiful approach and landing!!! ❤ The Airport and especially baggage claim...

[@davyf7620]

Great video, Patrick! Very interesting for sure… keep up the good work and the humble attitude, too many reviewers seem ungrateful or they act like they are “owed”something. Awesome work!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I appreciate it! Thank you!

[@tsheringchoden6760]

For your kind information Bhutan is not Tibetian country. Rather it is independent and GNH country in the Himalaya.

[@BRTripReport]

That is a very unique airline! Thanks for sharing.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! Glad you liked it!

[@Coastmac2001]

Fantastic informative video. Looks like Bhutan is well worth the effort to visit

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

It’s a ton of fun! As long as you can get in a tour for the visa

[@tjittekamminga5170]

fascinating destination/flight

[@263Leo]

Another great review. Thanks for sharing this unique airline.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you!

[@MrBlazemaster525]

Another great vid man!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks man!

[@marcambouphaure]

The airport is unique in Asia with this magnificent architecture and decorative walls.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Totally! You’ll enjoy my next video where I plan to spend some more time looking at the airport itself before departing the beautiful country

[@danekim4275]

Nice view of the landing at Paro ! Takes me back to 2013 when I toured Bhutan (with Explore Tour Company). The airport was indeed beautiful , made me feel like I went through customs to enter the fabled Shangrila in the mountains.Also flew Druk Air, but from Kathmandu. By the way, around 26:45, you stated “Tibetan country of Bhutan”. I think you meant “Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan”? Tibet is a separate state from Bhutan, forcibly annexed to China unfortunately. Great video nonetheless !

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! Good to know!

[@avioncamper]

Great trip.

[@MH-gh]

Superb Report, thanks for taking us along with you on this epic and exciting flight👌🏻

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks! I’m glad you liked it

[@aldencai1143]

beautiful experience! especially the arrival areas of the airport- indeed the world's most beautiful baggage claim areas

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Totally! Imagine if all airport terminals had that amount of detail!

[@caroledowney6908]

Thank you for showing the scenery and environments, not yourself like so many other aviation you tubers seem to do these days!

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@tally1604]

Can't wait for your full Changi video.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

It’s a big project! Unfortunately I didn’t get all the content I needed so I have to get more content when I’m back in a couple months to finish it all up

[@berendbrowny]

cool

[@johndouglas5712]

Excellent work . My new must watch AV GEEK

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thank you!!

[@TTDAN-zs1md]

P. S. Its the Himalayan Kingdom of Bhutan, not tibetan kingdom.

[@brian402]

Very impressive final approach landing,those ✈pilots must have used a flight simulator to practice and perfect this airport's demanding condition's. As alway's Patrick another 10/10 awesome video you've made👍

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Thanks a bunch! It is impressive watching the pilots navigate this approach, knowing how much training went in to it

[@keith2005]

Great vid! Was your heart pounding on approach and landing?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

It was a ton of fun. It’s what the pilots train for and what we all live for

[@thewanderingchirish1161]

Fantastic video Patrick! Was wondering if you need some form of visa to get in and how did you manage?

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

You gotta get one through a tour agency unless you come from a select group of countries (all of which are adjacent to Bhutan I believe)

[@asifarahman4404]

Wanted to know about the allowance of baggage pieces in business class

Paro Flight From Singapore Via Guwahati

[@ArmyyMiarmyyy]

26:44 what are you saying Tibetan country and Bhutan 🇧🇹 is completely different! It’s disappointing that you visited Bhutan unknowingly.

[@thenotwhatyouthinkitischannel]

Funny Thing I Was On that Flight...

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Dang no way! That’s awesome!

[@thenotwhatyouthinkitischannel]

Yeah I was at the very back of the plane

[@honeytgb]

15:57 I thought you were flying to Bhutan via Guwahati (GAU). That flight map says you're flying to Bagdogra (IXB)

[@honeytgb]

Yea I just saw that the Indian airport you hopped through was Bagdogra, not Guwahati - GAU is a much bigger airport, and you won't see those hills nearby either.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

Interesting… the ticket and reservation said Guwahati

[@honeytgb]

@@PatrickSheaAviation yes that's really confusing!!! But ignore the comment about the hills. There are some hills near the GAU airport too.

[@divox9pqr]

The distance from the two gates to the plane seems odd.

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

I agree… maybe there were other aircraft there that had departed?

[@MrChowTheTroll]

I think bhutan needs to stop the visa thingy with a tour company and just let people apply or even better arrive and get stamped in without visa

[@PatrickSheaAviation]

The only thing is that it then it becomes harder for them to preserve their culture. It is kind of a painful process to get the visa, but if it keeps the country in it’s preserved state, then I think it’s worth it
