Brilliant Video Geoff fabulous I'm in Jamaica loving it paradise you gotta visit Ochi Rios staying at sandals resort treated like Royalty 👍 👌 keep up the great work 😊

[@stevecartlidge8338]

I love that you’ve been delayed by 7 hours but still have a smile and just get on with it. As you say in your video, “it is what it is”. And we get a chance to see the airport in all its splendour. Many thanks Geoff 👌

[@geoffcarter]

Cheers steve. New movie out tonight

[@colindarroch4022]

Great airport Dubai been through it many times and emirates are the best. Great vlog.

[@davemulready]

Well Done Great Vlog

[@gordonbrown7551]

Never got the bus at Dubai , I always get the train if I land at terminal C and connecting flights at terminal A , missed a flight back in may cause there was 2 flights going to Bangkok around the same time 🙈 my own fault though as I should have checked the flight number , so ended up having to have a night in Bangkok as missed my connecting flight down to Hat Yai too , lessons learned that’s for sure ! It’s not the worst airport to spend a bit of time in though , and luckily there’s plenty of smoking rooms too 👍🏻, hope you had a great time and was great to see your videos with you back in the land of smiles mate 🎉🎉

Great music Geoff, thought I was back in Quadrant Park on the happy pills 🤪😂 keep dancing!! Thanks for sharing your holiday mate, great to have you back fit and healthy👍

You are an amazing cameraman! You make taking good vids look easy and doing it in an airport in a forced layover proves you are a genius. Beautiful production. Thank you Geoff.

Cheers Stuart. Just need a better camera now.

I'll keep smiling as long as you keep making movies!

[@michaelj3282]

I've lived in Dubai since 2005, get yourself out of the airport! There's places like Pattaya if you know where to look - Bur Dubai, Panorama Hotel, Jockeys bar, or the bar in CityMax (also Bur Dubai). ST is $100 though.

Good afternoon Geoff. Absolutely Loved this movie. It is like we are there with you. Dubai Airport was really Ultra modern and geared for the Trans Atlantic Traveller, like yourself Geoff. I really enjoyed following you mooching through the Huge Airport. You have got that Personal touch, when you Narrate your movies. You have this ability to turn a Negative into a Positive. This was a Pure Joy to watch your Thailand Adventure and then your Amasing Journey home with the Emirates Airline Company. Your meal on the plane looked absolutely Delicious. You did very Well Geoff, travelling over 28 Hours. You have got such Great Stamina and really Good Determination to carry on and Keep Smiling. This was a real Privilage Geoff to come and join you on your Epic Thailand Adventure and Journey. Hope you arrive back home, safely and have nice Mug of Tea and Treat yourself to a Full English Breakfast. Take yourself to bed and Crash out for a few hours. You Geoff deserve a Good Rest and Recouperation.

Hi Geoff are you back out there with the Mack master in November

[@darrenbretherton7298]

I had exactly the same experience in May when I flew home from bangkok to Manchester with Qatar airways. My flight from bangkok was delayed by 3 hours which meant I missed my connection and I had to spend 7 hours in doha airport. I got talking to a bloke at Bangkok Airport who told me doha was a dry airport and I wouldn't be able to get a drink. The bloke was wrong! There is a bar in doha that sells beer all day and night!

[@markmitchell2658]

Got lucky with qatar couple of years ago . Only 45 minutes between flights arrival 10 minutes late 10 minutes to get off plane then the next gate probably in the next country. Didn't really expect to make it . But turn up gate 10 minutes before departure. Just walked straight on plane . Didn't really expect bags in Bangkok but surprisingly turned up. Wow lucky

Just check flight prices for end of the month. £1100. Not a chance am i paying that price? So who knows?

@@geoffcarter aw I know it's terrible, before COVID I was paying no more than 2 grand to take us four to BKk with Emirates! I paid nearly 4 grand in August and 3.5 in April. I'm praying they come down to what they used to be but I doubt it, and I won't fly with anyone else 🙄

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

Hello Geoff, I know you are impressed with DXB (Dubai) but that airport will eventually close. A new, even larger facility for Dubai, has already been built and is ready for when it's needed. Problem with the current DXB is that it's too close to downtown and that's not fashionable today.

I retired in nov 22 and had 7 months in TH (222) days, brilliant ,.anyways welcome back to "doom & gloom" uk, i cant wait to get back out to TH for christmas hopefully on a 15 month retirement o visa,. going to the miss the TH videos ,keep smiling bebeep.

Every over-priced Dubai cloud has a silver ( or given its Dubai, gold) lining. You can claim against your flight delay from Emirates if that was the flight in question. Any delay above 3 hours is claimable. There are online companies who will do the application for a cut of t he compensation, or you can easily DIY. Make them cough up! Thanks for the extra footage, Geoff, our silver lining! ...weathers shite here, btw. Keep smiling!

[@globalnomad450]

Hi Geoff, your flight was only slightly late out of BKK hence arriving in DXB late. Sadly you missed your connection but not by much. They have done everything the are required to do by putting you on the afternoon flight. They gave you a food voucher but you won’t be entitled to any form of compensation. I worked for Emirates for 15 years so kind of know the system. That hotel was our quarantine hotel during corona! Enjoy the EK19 which would have been on the 380!

[@ant2312]

posted this twice

[@twisterman1957]

Geoff, don’t forget to claim your delayed flight compensation. So many people don’t bother and airlines very rarely tell you you are entitled after a certain time delay (I think it starts after 3 hours delay so a 7 hour delay should definitely give you a tidy payout). Good luck with it, it will help your next trip funds 😁

[@lucee2261]

The flight was less than an hour late, so no compensation. If it was related to air traffic control; Emirates still wouldn't be responsible - it's out of their control.

[@dw6549]

We got refunded over £1000 from Lufthansa after they made us miss the connecting flight. We stayed overnight in a hotel in Germany which Lufthansa paid for then we got compensation. The refund we got was more than we originally paid for the flights. Was well pleased.😊

[@ryanseager7347]

Just what I was going to say .....I think your looking at £250 ish
