Based in Melbourne, Australia, I watch too much TV, eat and drink too much to be a productive member of society. I have an insatiable craving to taste, smell and enjoy everything life has in store for me.
I have been bitten by the wanderlust bug and find nothing more thrilling than packing my bag and jumping on a plane to any far flung destination.

thanks for video- have a good life

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Thanks a million. Right back at you.

[@pancho974974]

Love the parrots singing in the business class behind

[@TimEatsandTravels]

HAHAHA My pet budgies are so noisy and won't shut up when I'm recording my voice over. LOL

[@travellingulcer]

Agreed, the footage of the landing was spectacular. I haven't visited Hong Kong in over a decade. I think I need to return soon.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Take off and landing are my favourite parts of every flight. You should visit Hong Kong. If not for the beauty of the country then for the FOOD!

[@TimEatsandTravels]

OMG I completely FORGOT about my video going LIVE

[@ryansofly]

It feels like I'm watching your video in an aviary ... 😂😂😂 This reverse herringbone seat is my fave, hands down. They're so private without needing those walls and doors. Even I don't even know what an RCA cable is! Oh yay! They have the inflight mags! I slept so well on UL, then again I was so exhausted by then. Omg bejewelled, that is such a retro game.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

HAHAHA I know right? My budgies just perk up whenever I talk. They are seriously SO loud. Makes recording VO very difficult. Well, I will share my UL experience when I get to it but it was definitely not the most comfortable flight.

[@kathrynnorman2253]

Tim, both of your video styles are just as unique as yourself ❤

[@TimEatsandTravels]

THANK YOU! I really appreciate your kind words. I love to travel and I'm an over sharer. KZbin is the perfect place for me. LOL

[@pinnaclefoundation1507]

I don't know which of your two video styles I prefer as they're both so different. One is more food focussed and the other is airline. They're both great and I know it's a lot of work and effort but please keep making both types.

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

Spectacular footage of the landing! And I do enjoy evening landing/takeoff videos. Even if you can't see much, it can look rather lovely. I know this is irrational and factually untrue totally, but when I travel I always feel as if I have spent more time getting from the point where the plane hits the runway to the arrival gate than I did in all the hours in the air! I am not patient at all in some ways! Thank you for the video!

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I am SO glad you enjoyed both the landing and takeoff videos. The sound of the engines is soothing white noise to me. Everytime I hear an engine spool up, my stress and anxiety just melts away. As always, your support is truly appreciated.

[@Amester7]

Love your videos as always Tim. Content, quality, editing and travelling with you. Is KZbin lol :) ❤️

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Thank you SO much. I really do appreciate your kind words and your ongoing support. I like to create good content and share it with everyone. Shrug, have no idea how to get more people to my channel.

[@myfamgen5438]

Without doubt the next time I fly anywhere and Cathay Pacific flies that route I will definitely be flying in business class because you sold the airline to me.

[@Erika-el1kp]

Hi Tim, the landing is not as exciting as it used to be, almost touching the apartments and aunties washing as the plane weaved thru to the runway. 😂 Love your work. Erika from sunny Perth 😎

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I sadly never had the opporturnity to experience the old Hong Kong airport. I have seen many photos of the steep climb and turn of huge jets amongst the tall high rises of Hong Kong. Now, that would have been a sight!

[@benela]

The ife on the Boeing 777s are laggy cause the tv screen is older, and can’t handle the new system.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I will admit the IFE was possibly the only negative of what was a truly a great flight. For me, it wasn't an issue at at as I played bejewelled for the majority of the flight. I understand CX will be undergoing a refresh of their cabins in the coming years. I have no doubt they will deliver on a great product.

[@ELDchannel]

The atmosphere is very beautiful, very good

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Thank you so much for watching and your kind comments! This was my first flight with Cathay and it was truly a memorable one. My next flight with them will be in First Class to Paris.

[@liannenz1036]

How did you find seat 21k when it came to noise from the galley and crew walking by?

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I didn't actually find it too troublesome. Seeing as I cannot sleep on any aircraft or in any class of cabin, I literally stay awake the entire flight. So, personally, I wasn't too adversely affected by the galley or cabin crew.One thing I will say about CX crew is that they are very understanding of the passengers. They always whispered or hushed tones when the lights are turned down.

[@reyronelcastro1720]

Brisbane international airport has a smoking lounge after security.

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I did not know that! I've never actually flown internationally from BNE so that is actually a good piece of advise. I might ahve to fly out of BNE one day just to check it out.

[@Erika-el1kp]

Hi Tim, out of interest, what size are your feet?

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I'm a size 11 sometimes 12, depending on the brand

[@Erika-el1kp]

@TimEatsandTravels same size as my son then. I think by Asian standards, you might have big feet, too big for those slippers anyway. My dad was size 7 or 8. Regards Erika from sunny Perth 😎

[@Sam-fb5xe]

Great video but what’s the bird sound in the background music? Did not like that at all…😂😂

[@SatinderSingh]

Lately, heard very bad things about Cathay Pacific in terms of Not good food, Cleanliness not good..etc. How’s your flight in terms of - 1) Food 2) Seat 3) Cleanliness 4) Cabin Crew

[@TimEatsandTravels]

Thank you for visiting my channel and for your comment. I can't speak for other people's experience, but I flew Cathay Pacific Melbourne to Hong Kong and then Hong Kong to Paris. On both flights, the food service and offering were some of the best I've ever received. I also had a friend who flew in economy on the same sectors a week later and he received great service, food and comfort. As I'm sure you would have noticed from my commentary on both my Cathay Pacific flights I found these flights to be better than other flights on other airlines I flown.

[@SatinderSingh]

@@TimEatsandTravels Thank you. Booked Cathay Pacific

[@willieho3056]

Cathy is not too impressive, I m very disappointed

[@TimEatsandTravels]

I am sorry you had a negative experience. Every flight can be made or broken by service levels. I was very lucky in that I got amazing service on this and the next flights. I have flown many airlines all around the world and I have received sub par service from other 5 star airlines and I would personally never fly with them again. That's the beauty of personal choice, you get to vote with your wallet. Can you explain what happened on your flight(s)?

[@myfamgen5438]

Without doubt the next time I fly anywhere and Cathay Pacific flies that route I will definitely be flying in business class because you sold the airline to me.
