On 22 December 2020, Cahill and other bloggers were on board during the delivery of Uganda Airlines' first Airbus A330-800 from Toulouse to Entebbe; the delivery was led by General Katumba Wamala, the then Ugandan Minister of Works and Transport, and received by Uganda's President Yoweri Museveni.

Incidents
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.

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.

In 2020, Cahill flew on board a Tunisair Airbus A330, and shared his criticisms of its lounge and onboard faculties. 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.

In 2024, an Aero Dili staff member had 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.
