Thanks for your comment, Marrakech is quite a way to be in the middle seat.

I made this video on that very subject recently kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5y7aaOupMuKbqc That should be of some help, I'm currently travelling and can't really do any more right now. Good luck, Phil

Let me answer that with a link to this video....kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y6fNk2xtiN16o8U

Thos one is about a Qantas flight I took kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5qwgWaMqqygoJo

Thanks for your question and support, in this video I used a GoPro Hero 10, no external mic, I use Davinci Resolve and I use thier voice isolation tool to clean up talking. I have since bought a Sony ZV1 M2 and a DJI Mic 2 Wireless mic

Thanks for your comment and support, I could talk about British Airways brunchgate in a reaction video, but I haven't experienced it myself, and Matt's Planet did talk about it this week in his video. I honestly see it as a bit of a storm in a teacup, except in First Class. Once you know what you're getting a hearty breakfast in the lounge, followed by a light brunch on the plane. And if this doesn't suit you then vote with your feet. Hope that isn't too controversial Phil

I would look at UK internal flights or possibly to Dublin. I'm away at the moment, but being that close means you should increase you cost per tier point if you have the available funds

Love it 😂, yeah they do when they work but I can't get from Heathrow to Euston without a few staircases. I'm in New York right now and the subway is all steps.

This comment reflects very badly upon you. Quite embarrassing really - perhaps spend your time working on yourself rather than putting other people down!

That absolutely sucks and it's no consolation to you but your experience is unusual. Now where Qatar could easily improve is in the aftercare when things like this happen, I assume you didn't get any compensation?

Super nice but beware, they run the old style seat for half the year, I know from experience, with a video coming shortly

You're very welcome, Charlie

I'm not a fan of the old seat as you know, it has some minor plus points, but (despite the winning thumbnail) I really liked the Club Suite, head and shoulders above the other

Thanks for your kind comment, much appreciated. Just so you know I'm always happy to say hi and have a chat, and if I can I'm happy to guest people into a lounge too 😊 (although you didn't need it)

Thanks for your question, According to the Captains announcement the flight time was 13 hours and 50 minutes

Lol, I’ve got 2 set in silver and black.

VS let you take them, it’s an open secret.

Thanks everyone for your comments, I'm flying Virgin in a couple of weeks, I hope they still have them, I believe that you are encouraged to take them if you want to

@@mygreygapyear Just flew them yesterday and yep.. steal them as you wish...

Yes I wish he would change the video title. It’s annoying when these loopholes are published

Isn't the bulk of the gain Air Passenger Duty as the flight doesn't originate in the UK?

@@ianhares9832 not from HKG no, it’s only £35 because BA for historical reasons sets a £0 surcharge (they no longer have too but did once upon a time) which is not the case from LHR and is priced based on RFS (like most other airports) and has no direct link to taxes, fees and surcharges, The RFS fee however roughly covers the tax/airport fees from LHR. But originating a journey in HKG prices it off tax+fees rather than RFS with zero surcharge

@obamtl I thought this was more of a system quirk and that BA are aware of this, but I wasn't. Let's hope they don't suddenly jack up the price.

@nickf619 thanks for your comment and support, I don't think BA will care about this too much, they must know. If I thought that my video would influence BA then I would have made it for Patreons only.

I have booked an Iberia ticket this year, I'm just wondering if I booked it through BA? I'm not sure but I definitely got the tier points. Usually there is a frequent flyer membership section where you can pick Executive Club and then put in your membership number.

@mygreygapyear Thank you Phil. Only just started flying again this year after the you know what the passed few years but IV been a BA exec member for a few years. I'm very new to tier points. I'm currently blue but have booked club return from NCL to LHR and a 5 night club world holiday to Prague. I'm hoping with the double tier points to reach silver status which should benefit flights later in the year to JFK. Thanks buddy. 🙂

Thank you for sharing your views, I do appreciate it, finding how others find these products widens the information for others so I and I know others do appreciate it. I'm a side sleeper and I do change sides in the night but I found it ok. I think I crossed my arms and found that comfortable enough, but I can also slide down the bed if its tight at the top.

Ah Mark, I do love to take advantage, thank you for your comment and support, it really made me chuckle

@ That’s what you pay for… Keep it up!!! 👍

Thank you, much appreciated

Thanks for your comment, I do love a little shrink wrapped cheese and a few crackers when I'm in economy.

I tend to agree with you, I often find Josh's videos a bit sensationalist

Thanks for your comment, that older seat still flying from Heathrow is catching people out, I deliberately picked it but decided that it was a one and done experience. I hope you have some better experiences, Christmas in Japan sounds amazing, Phil

Thanks for your question, there's a link in the description, select "buy tickets" and then enter your details to "log in". You should be able to see the schedule and pricing for your dates. Getting to Hong Kong from the airport is trivial, take the Airport Express train from arrivals directly to Hong Kong station on Hong Kong Island, plenty of room for luggage. If you need onward travel from there you can take a taxi or use the underpass to get to Central and use public transport. But don't take a taxi from the airport, there really is no need. Let me know if there's anything else, Phil

​@@mygreygapyearthank you so much Phil. I will definitely incorporate your knowledge and experience into my planning.😇🙏

Thanks for your comment and your support, I agree, sometimes these things can be more faff than their worth. Have a great trip to Hong Kong, Phil

Thanks for your comment and support, I've been in the Qantas lounge since I made this video and I did actually like it, nothing on the Pier, but the buffet looked really good.

Thanks mate, appreciate it

Thanks for your comment, I think BA has lots of areas to improve, and this new brunch thing is just a self inflicted wound, but I agree with you on the crew, I've always been well looked after.

You're very welcome, glad you enjoyed the video

Hi can you tell me about this, I am going to be there in a week or so and I am staying near Nathan road

Yes get the n21 or a21 bus from the bus station at the airport it a 5 mins walk after exit arrivals it is all well signed so you can't go wrong ...u can buy a octopus card at the 7-11 shop or travelex or airport express counter at airport arrivals or they accept correct cash payment... You will wait no longer than 15 min during the day for a bus ...the stops are on the screens ...when you come close to your stop u just ring the bell...I always stop at Eaton hotel on Nathan road so I'm always on stop 11.. there are bus stops signed at various points on Nathan road for the airport bus for return journey...it only 35 HKD so it good value for Money

@stevens7689 thank you so much for sharing that, very helpful. The airport express is $155 HKD so the bus is a good option. Could you let me know if there's room for a suitcase on the bus, are there luggage racks and so on. @gordonstark235 I always follow along with Google Maps, if you need data abroad then I use an Airelo eSim. You just need to make sure you pay for it and install it in the UK just before you leave. Then change your mobile data at the other end.

@@mygreygapyear many thanks I am doing the emirates first class from bkk due to your video, keep up the good work.

@@stevens7689 many thanks for that you have saved me a taxi, how long is the journey.

Thanks for sharing your experience, that is very interesting, the footwells in the centre pairs being more spacious.

Thanks for your comment, I'm glad you found the video helpful, hope you have a great flight.

Thank you for your comment, its much appreciated.

Agree with the Qantas lounge in HK. While there I also popped into the Cathay lounge which was literally opposite the exit of the Qantas lounge, it was much busier and as such not quite as relaxing. I did engage in some great banter with the lady at the dimsum counter though which made the visit worthwhile.

Thank you both, I have since been to the HKG Qantas lounge and I really enjoyed it. It was AFL Grand Final day and it was on in the lounge. The wine selection was excellent and the food that they put on was great too.

Honestly, in Club Suites, I really do!

@M-yk9bi Love that 😂😂😂

@domszanto I agree with you though, it was a great experience and I would look forward to it again.

Ha, ha. I used to fly B.A. Club World on my usual long haul and overall they were very good considering the price. However, post Pandemic they’ve hiked their price so much that I no longer use them and get a much better deal on another airline with an overall superior product.😊

Thanks for your question, without trying to be silly or nasty the business and first lounges are for those ticket classes, however the "First" lounge is really a BA Gold status lounge, because a First Class ticket also gets you access to the better lounge called the Concorde Room. And to just tidy that up, if you are BA Silver/Oneworld Sapphire you have access to the business lounges regardless of your ticket class, and if you're BA Gold/Oneworld Emerald you have access to the First Lounge, but not the Concorde Room. The arrivals lounge in T5 has very specific entry requirements, you must be on a BA or AA long haul flight in business class or be BA Gold / Emerald. I think the guesting rules are different too (possible its no guests, I'd need to look it up on the BA website) I don't think you can pre-book and sometimes the lounges do get full, and I have seen queues outside business lounges when its super peak. I'm also not aware of any additional charges, possibly for spa treatments, apart from that, what you see is what you get, or in the case of Champagne in the business lounge, you get it if you ask for it. I hope this answers your question, but if you have any other queries please don't hesitate to contact me. Thanks Phil

Glad it was helpful!

Thanks for your comment, for me the dining experience is what I really look forward to. getting a fine dining experience for free is a big benefit and unfortunately the dining experience was only good or ok.
