Laravel where model query

According to the documentaion[http://ift.tt/1EAeK0g] all and get methods retrieve results as an instance of Collection, which can be iterate through like

foreach ($flights as $flight) {
   echo $flight->name;
}

In my case only all method is returning instance of collection,not the get method because I can't iterate through result as above way and throws error: Undefined property: Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Collection::$name . If I only echo $flight then it prints [{"id":3,"name":"KingFisher","created_at":"2015-09-01 16:09:09","updated_at":"2015-09-01 16:09:09"}], which is a json format.From this[http://ift.tt/1L1Z5mV] page I tried json_decode($flights, true);and new \Illuminate\Support\Collection(json_decode($flights, true)) but both returning same json format and I can't iterate throught them as collection. Any idea?
