A flight reviewer has documented his trip on a hugely popular flight route from Bali to Australia dubbed the ‘Bogan Express’.
Josh Cahill, a travel YouTuber, posted the video on Tuesday titled ‘Review: Jetstar Australia’s 787 Dreamliner – is it really that bad?’
He treated viewers to an in depth analysis of the journey as well as a look at the unappealing in-flight food.

Mr Cahill caught the flight from Denpasar to Sydney and said he paid around $250 for his economy seat plus $120 for extras.
He told the camera: ‘This particular flight is known to be the Bogan Express. So there’s a certain kind of white people on this flight who are super annoying.
‘I know I’ve said it before that there’s Chinese or other kinds of travellers, ethnic groups, that are difficult to travel with but there’s also a lot of white people who can be a pain in the butt.
‘So there, I said it, there are annoying people everywhere,’ Mr Cahill said.
Mr Cahill has almost 50,000 followers on Instagram and documents flights across the world.
His newest video on the Denpasar flight marks the latest clip in a series of hundreds of uploads.
Mr Cahill warned travellers that they should arrive at Denpasar airport at least four hours ahead of departure time as the check-in queues are extremely long.
Mr Cahill shared images of the hellishly long airport queues as he waited to get his boarding pass.
Once on-board the reviewer explained that Jetstar customers were charged extra to watch the movies on the in-flight entertainment system.

Mr Cahill also showed off the very unappetising pre-ordered meal that he received on the flight.
The box of mac and cheese was almost unidentifiable but Mr Cahill said he was ‘positively surprised’ by the quality of the food.
Mr Cahill told Daily Mail Australia: ‘I’ve had a few Jetstar flights in the past and they have been really bad but this I was positively surprised… it was less bogan than I expected it to be.’

The reviewer described that the route used to have ‘terrible legroom’ and ‘worn out seats’.
Mr Cahill’s video also went in depth about the details of his journey and he explained that he was in a window seat on the 3-3-3 configured flight.
Mr Cahill finished the review by saying that he was impressed with the professionalism from the ‘lovely’ crew.
Commenters jokingly praised the traveller for his courage on the infamous flight route ‘The Bintang Express’.
One user said: ‘I’m Aussie and I have never been to Bali because of the bogans. You are a brave man.’
‘I’m an Australian and there are two things I avoid when I travel. 1. Jetstar. 2. Australians,’ another commented.
Bali is a favourite Australian travel destination with more than 1 million holiday-makers travelling to the Indonesian island’s palm-fringed beaches each year.
It has also become synonymous with tourists behaving disrespectfully.
A Czech couple were slammed last August when they splashed each other with holy water at a Balinese temple.
They prompted Bali’s Governor Wayan Koster to issue a stern warning that misbehaving tourists would be sent home from the island.
