Sorry to hear about your bout with food poisoning. I certainly can relate having an episode where I prayed to God to take me. That episode change my life and I have been more careful about what I eat and where I eat. I also take Bismuth Subsalicylate when I travel and use it at the first sign of trouble or proactively, like before a flight. Away from home I shy away from food that is not cooked (salads, salmon tartare, sashimi…etc.). One last piece of advice: I get the unpleasantness of throwing up but this is your bodies natural response to eject the poisoning agent. Often the digestive system and accompanying symptoms recover much faster after throwing up. Take care and thank you for the professional videos.

Jeddah travel is super chaotic- especially during Ramadan when you went. We also dealt with being behind Umrah tour groups of hundreds of people for whom this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, which shows in how they navigate the airports, baggage control etc. I was there for the same reason though so I just tried to be patient and polite even when the airport staff treated me as though I was born yesterday at times

For deaf people whose first language is a sign language, reading subtitles can be more challenging as it can be possible that they're not fluent in written language (and the spoken language of their region differs from their own sign language, they are separate languages with different grammatical structures). Providing them with signed safety instructions makes it more inclusive :)

@sarahbrivio4159 Жыл бұрын
Isn't sign language "regional" and national as well though? I mean French and American sign language are only 30% intelligible so I am not sure how much that would circumvent the problem. I am quite curious which is the sign language of choice and how easy to understand for speakers who have a different sign language as first language

I don't think he was questioning the sign language interpreter. He was questioning why despite having an interpreter there was no subtitles and only safety video in Arabic. Having that in just one language (or practically two) but without subtitles for those who don't speak Arabic sounds everything but inclusive.

I was a flight attendant for 20 years and my only explanation for the first flight running behind with no reported delays is headwinds or unannounced deviating around bad weather. I've flown with my share of pilots who should be flying cargo instead of people because they just don't communicate when there's a problem. And some pilots purposely fly slow for extra money (we only got paid when the aircraft door was closed). I once had a concussion because my captain didn't tell me we're about to decend through a massive storm cloud. I wasn't the only one injured. 6 passengers were sent to the hospital. So yeah, it definitely sounds like the pilots you had either were bad at communicating, or they were dragging the tail for extra money.

16:46 The time it takes for food poisoning symptoms to start can vary depending on the specific type of bacteria or virus involved, as well as the amount of contaminated food consumed. In general, symptoms of food poisoning can appear within a few hours to several days after consuming contaminated food. For example, symptoms of food poisoning caused by Salmonella bacteria can appear within 6-48 hours after eating contaminated food, while symptoms of food poisoning caused by Clostridium perfringens can appear within 6-24 hours. However, it is important to note that some types of food poisoning, such as those caused by certain strains of E. coli or Listeria bacteria, can take longer to develop and may not appear for several days or even weeks after consuming contaminated food.

Hey dan, the announcement you meant at the approach to jeddah is for passengers who are going to perform umrah, there's something that is basically a ritual for declaring the intention to do the umrah to god that is prformed in specific locations around mecca for people who are coming from outside the mecca region, so they have to tell the passengers to declare it because if they don't their umrah is not accepted, so the first announcement is to tell the passengers to be ready, and the second is when the plane flys over that location so they can do it, and I think all planes coming into jeddah are obligated to do that, even emirates and Qatar airways I haven't flown saudia in like 15 years but that's what I remember, hope it helps

Announcements for Mecca are not to "appeal to a segment". It's a religious requirement for the people going for pilgrimage or umrah. Once they pass a very specific geographic area (otherwise known as Miqat) they have recite a certain prayer to start their religious journey, otherwise it wouldn't be accepted. The announcements are to let everyone know that the plane is passing by the geographic area.

I flew Saudia in august 2022 and it was weird. Got an amenity kit with toothbrush and eyemask in eco. Crew was amazing too. However connecting in Jeddah can feel like you are in limbo. It’s super cold and you can’t really rest there. Saudia is also not really informative when in comes to delays. We got delayed for 1h then we boarded, then deplaned and needed to wait for a replacement plane. That came and for some reason we now had a stop in Riad. All in all 5h delay and no explanation. But the ticket was 400€ round trip FRA to BKK so you can’t really complain

Food poisoning typically occurs 24-72 hours after ingestion due to the need for the bacteria/virus/fungus(rarely) to duplicate in the body. So people typically associate the wrong meal with their symptoms or wrongly associate it as poisoning altogether. Things such as norovirus can be picked up on any surface and is very common but also associated with food borne.

I had food poisoning on my first flight ever on an A380 (I had been looking forward to it so much)- I think it was with Cathay Pacific, from Phuket to London Heathrow. The night before we had a fish dinner on the beach in a small place and I guess the poisoning was from that meal. We were travelling Business thankfully and the crew couldn't be more helpful- they even asked one of the pilots if he had some medication with him- which he did and gave to me. They kept serving tea and water, called ahead to the airport for wheelchair service as by then I was too weak to walk and even got someone at the airport to buy one of those horrible tasting fluo pink rehydration drinks. Oh well, it was certainly a special way to get to know the A380 ;-)

All carriers are required to annouse approaching Meca, prior of 30 minutes, and abeaming. Therefore, Emarties does that. Make sure you correct that sir.

*Someone came into my room at Oman airport maybe a cleaner and then when I was in Hong Kong, the hotel gave a new guest a card to my room, they were also shocked but didn't say anything to me laying in bed and just left*

Pocari Sweat is a life saver for food poison. I had gastro in Japan (damn you Hokkaido boba at Ueno market) over new year eve, missed out NY day. Discover Pocari from friends and it's been a fav ever since. and yes Japanese toilet is great with gastro 😉

I have used Saudia quite a lot of times. Not in Biz just Cattle. I can confirm the crew and ground staff are most polite and efficient. The economy cabin is, I believe, a shade more comfortable than any other airline I use. I am a long time KLM Air France customer. Other Airline seating seems extremely flimsy and in no way comfortable enough for a +5 hr flight. (Think you will know exactly where the coccyx is installed.) Anything Internet is extortionate in Saudi Arabia. Blast the hotel admin online. Your security is important and getting decent sleep important too. Agree with pumping the brakes when dealing with a woman in Saudi. But you probable wouldn't have got very far off the ground if it was a guy.

It’s probably someone thinking it’s their room, or house keeping thinking the room is empty. I’m quite sure safety is not a concern there

Nothing like dealing with food poisoning while on a plane. During my 6 hour flight from Honolulu to SF, I spent 5 of those hours locked in the loo discharging from both ends. Not good at all.

I'm really a fan of your videos. I think I've seen them all. But one thing I'm not into - is watching eating with the playback speed on fast. 😂 It's not a dealbreaker, but if you've ever wondered if it's not you at your best... :P

I'm so sorry for you😞I usually bring anti vomiting pills with me when I travel i know it's not good to prevent it but some people vomits once or twice and that's it but in my case I just can't stop even if I haven't eaten for a few days it happens anyway so I have no choice

It looks like you were without your other half,maybe we'll see you both in Japan? So sorry you weren't feeling well on the flight,I've been flying solo since I was 7 & used to get awful motion sicknesses,add a few doses of food poisoning etc & being on a plane is just about the worst place to be ill! Good for you for flying/Saudia,I've heard nothing good & TBH you've not changed my mind. I've spent time over the years in Saudi,but,given their attitude to the Rainbiw Community, its not a place I'd choose to spend money. I had family living there,plus I love archeology,desert & diving. Looking forward to seeing you both soon and you on top form again very soon. Re the possible intrusion into your room its one reason I try the landlines a part of my room check as soon a get to my room! As always very best wishes to you&yours💥👊👏👏👏💙💙👌❤️💯⭐️'s💯👋✌️

I had food poisoning a few months ago flying Emirates First, and I kid you not I shat my pants 🤢 on the plane as they were serving dessert. If the plane didn’t have a shower and I didn’t have a second pair of pants in my carryon I really dont think I would’ve survived those 9+ hrs on the plane

United doesn't fly this configuration internationally. I believe its only between west-coast and hawaii, and occasionally on their transcontintal routes. Their updated polaris cabin is just about everywhere.
