In 2018, Cahill, on a Malaysia Airlines flight from Kuala Lumpur to London, shared his criticisms on Instagram during the flight, using the in-flight Wi-Fi. According to Cahill, the crew confronted him for the Instagram post and refused to provide him any more service unless he stopped filming.[17]
On 7 January 2020, Cahill gave a negative review to Singapore Airlines. Someone claiming to be a Singapore Airlines crew member sent him a death threat. Cahill contacted local law enforcement regarding the death threat, who said they would investigate.[18]
In 2020, Cahill flew on board a TunisairAirbus A330, and shared his criticisms of its lounge and onboard faculties.[19] In 2021, Cahill reviewed Tunisair again, giving another negative review. Upon arrival at Tunis International Airport, he was approached by five police officers over his previous video. They asked him to hand over his camera, which he refused.[20][21]
In December 2023, Cahill claimed that Qatar Airways tried to bribe him with free flights in exchange for taking down a negative review, and then banned him from the airline after he refused.[22]
In 2024, an Aero Dili staff member made Cahill's passport public, explaining that he had published Cahill's passport to prove that the problems at check-in occurred because the name in Cahill's passport did not match the name on Cahill's boarding pass.[23]
^"Man leaves bad review of airline during flight and it only made things worse". indy100. 22 November 2018. Archived from the original on 28 December 2020. Retrieved 26 October 2020. Cahill flies around 150 times each year obviously knows a thing or two about what makes a good flight and although the staff acted unprofessionally he'll perhaps think twice the next time he is compelled to post a bad review during a flight.
