Flying Magazine Avis 11

A toxic management led by Craig Fuller is destroying a once exceptional brand. Subscriptions are down and advertisers are jumping ship. AI reporting is apparently rampant with the resultant distrust of its readers. Dreadful!

I have to concur with the majority of the other reviewers - they have ruined the magazine. It's now mostly fluff, and more like a coffee table edition. I cannot relate to the majority of the content as I'm not a rich millionaire. I, too, will miss the insightful articles from the regular contributors. And don't even get me started on the scam of the Ultimate FLYING Giveaway. I did report their failure to send me a winners list to the FTC, but, so far, no results. There's something fishy there, but we'll probably learn the truth right after they solve the Kennedy assassination. I, too, will not renew, either for myself or the two gift subscriptions I have been sending to a couple of aspiring pilots.

25 year subscriber. The new owner has ruined the magazine. The number of issues has been cut and what’s left is mainly advertising. I care about the content not some glossy new cover and paper. I will not renew. Sad to see this icon of a magazine destroyed.

Been in aviation 70+ Years.
Unsatisfactory customer service when contacting Flying Magazine
Customer Service!
In my opinion, I was blown off, & treated as if I was a nobody.
As a result, I had my bank cancel my subscription check....never again will I deal with Flying Magazine Customer Service!!!

I live in Australia and till now was always offered a discounted subscription to offset international postage.

My renewal is due and the price has more than trebled!!!!

As I live outside the US/Canada it is impossible to contact the magazine on the listed 1-800 number, yet every time I email the subscription department to explain this I get a response asking me to call them on the 1-800 number to sort it out.
Are these people stupid or don't they read short, succinct and well explained emails????

I feel like I'm bashing my head against a brick wall with this team of mediocrities that don't care about providing customer service.

IT IS HORRIBLE. I have subscribed for almost 40 years and they F'd it up quickly. It looks like a travel magazine and should be next to Conde Nast Traveler on the magazine rack. The issue that came out in August of 2022 hardly had anything about flying.
Also, the renewal cards we all got said it was for so many issues, now that it is 4/year, they did not fulfill what they sold us.

I have been a subscriber for many years. When the new owner took over it is now nothing but a picture book full of ads. Its also only 4 times per year instead of 12. What really pushed me over the edge is an emailed message with a big article about a transgender pilot. It not like I'm not bombarded with this BS all day enough already now flying magazine has to lecture me on it. I will not renew.

I had a subscription for many years, but the new app, with no access to old magazines pushed me to cancel my subscription. Too much advertising, no customer support and now only 4 issues per year vs 12 issues only a few years ago did it for me. There are better magazines out there.

I've been a subscriber for over 50 years but will not renew. The new management has ruined the magazine by reducing from 12 informative monthly issues to 4 quarterly issues with little useful information. A glossy piece of crap. I will miss reading Dick Karl, Peter Garrison and Sam Weigel but only 4 times a year???

The magazine is practically all advertising. There was an article by some snowflake stating how scared he was of this weak coronavirus. Save it. I don’t need to hear about your shortcomings.

Have had their magazine for almost a year and the delivery is reliable and selfservice is easy through their webpage.
