Etihad Airways A380 Lower deck in ECONOMY. London Heathrow to Abu Dhabi

[@TikTokBrian]

I enjoyed this from the very first words: “Welcome to Terminal 4”. You must have been there a thousand times …. It’s just that you’re usually underneath it 😂😂

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

That is true. It is the first time I have departed from T4

[@George-jz9fk]

10:47 " I'm assuming that's just water on the seats" - famous last words as you would say😂😂

[@ThamesShips]

Very interesting and informative video. I did enjoy the views from the onboard cameras showing the sunrise and the approach to landing.

[@ElizabethWilliams-k3i]

I’m glad that you had a good time on your trip. I like the airplanes having cameras on them for the different views. The sunrise was beautiful

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

The cameras are great especially if you don’t have a window seat

[@michaellittlejohns7968]

Great video dale

[@Johnny16781]

Well done once again Dale another eye opener 😁 Keep up the good work ✈🛫🛬

[@CathrineH-h1h]

Always enjoy your videos, thanks for posting them. Looks pretty good for economy. I would have avoided that starter as well

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

It is not very often I eat the starters in economy. They all seem to be the same sort of thing

[@Bakerloo-Line-Fan]

yes A380 is my favourite Plane

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

It is a great plane. The 747 is still my favourite though

[@steveastill997]

Great to see you again looks pretty good for economy love the sunrise

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

The sun rise was very nice. Great to be able to see it via the cameras

[@oober2004]

Like the addition of the overdubbed commentary, Dale. Much clearer. Still enjoy the in the moment thoughts and opinions too, though! Cheers for the vlog.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

You are welcome. I have just bought a better mic for the voice over so I hope it will be clearer in future videos

[@naomisfunandtransportchann4376]

Brilliant video again Dale! Beautiful view of the sunrise and coming to land. Hope you enjoyed your trip

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I did thank you

[@andrewr2825]

Always enjoy your travelogues Dale. Can I suggest maybe you could add the flight number and times (late, on time, early etc) just for us nerdy types? Happy and safe travels mate👍🏻

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Yes that is some thing I will look at adding in the future

[@principalsignal]

Looked pretty decent for Economy (apart from the state of the washroom) - thank you for sharing this with us.

[@alexmcwhirter6611]

It's an A380 which offers more space for Y pax.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

The bathroom was more an indication of the passengers on board rather than the airline

[@martinhew981]

Interesting video, Dale. Was that film Tango and Cash?

[@stovesellers]

Flying Etihad BC from CDG to SIN and back on the A380 in Feb. Looking forward to it! Film was Tango & Cash (1989).

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

You are correct. Tango and cash. A great old film

[@johnsell]

TfL should fit forward facing cams to their Underground fleet, particularly new trains on the Picc Line. Might need some post-editing for commentary by someone experienced.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I’m not sure if the new trains will have forward facing cameras. I think they are a good idea for incidents

[@markdonovan6810]

Your looking good Dale shame I can't say the same for that bathroom but as you said they were busy over all it looked like a pretty average flight did it impress you would love to know anyway all the best Mark D Ps,time for the winter beard it looks good on you.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Hello Mark. I took 4 flights with Etihad ( economy and business) I had mixed feeling over them. I plan on doing a short video talking about the good and the bad on all 4 flights. Just for comparison

[@Roblox_openbve]

Omg you have been on lots of holidays hope you enjoyed it

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I did thank you. It was a short trip but it was nice to enjoy some sun

[@simprove]

Good video. I enjoyed the voiceover commentary on this video instead of everything being spoken on camera. Especially for the bits in the check-in area and walking around the terminal. Even in business or first class, there will be times when commentating aloud would be awkward and a voiceover might be better.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

It is some thing I want to do more. I just need to ensure I have enough footage to add the voice over on

[@danielpiggins8429]

Another interesting real world perspective on something I'm unlikely to ever do. I would quite like to try a380 and for comparison though, I did a short hop on a dreamliner Edinburgh Dublin a few years back and it seemed awfully rattly and riddled with technical faults. So, as I say, would be quite interesting to try this for comparison as I personally prefer Airbus products

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I think airbus do make a great product. Boeing has gone down hill. The 777 is not bad and of cause the queen of the skies the 747. Not that many are left in passenger service

[@danielpiggins8429]

@dalecharmantravels8057 I've only ever flown one of those, back about 2005 2006. There used to be an Edinburgh to London British airways shuttle that used a 747 partly due to capacity required on a weekend morning but also as a positioning move for the aircraft and I happen to use that flight once, lovely machine.

[@louisenewman3925]

Hey dale, you are looking well. Thank you for posting these lovely vids… nice to get away from the world for 15 mins! Did you get any footage of Abu whilst you was out there? Be great to see it if you do! We need a tour guide around the world with Dale Charman!

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I was only transferring in Abu Dhabi so did not leave the airport. I did get some footage as I took off from Abu Dhabi. So I hope it has come out and should be on the next video

[@louisenewman3925]

Look forward to seeing your next video! Xx

[@jennythescouser]

Suggestion. If you can't film your Piccadilly Line journeys, why not do audio only versions (your yabbing may come in handy after all - LOL). Just put up some stills for decoration. Another idea (probably harder to do) is film all the stations on the line, esp any quirky ones.

[@oober2004]

Like the idea of audio of Dale driving and chatting. The knowledge and insight to behind the scenes is excellent when paying attention. But recently I've found playing his Piccadilly line videos quietly in the background while trying to sleep so therapeutic. Great shout.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

It is some thing I do intend to do. I need to build up some stock footage of things ( that are not taken from the front of the train) to add a visual for people. I also intend in the new year to start filming some stations from a passengers point of view

[@danielpiggins8429]

Having the commentary and general chatback will just be wonderful if it's at all possible, as you can see, we all really miss it and wonder if a few more videos from your car on your commutes might be a compromise in the short term as as I say, we're all missing hearing from you regularly

[@stulop]

We travelled back with Singapore on the A380, lower deck row 68. I can hear that whining noise that is mostly on, sometimes off and completely disappears on descent. Fuel transfer pumps? Would have been murder without the noise cancelling headphones. Anyone booking, try to keep away from that noise, it cuts like a knife..

[@johnallan4826]

Is the cafe at Acton Town, just vending machines and free coffee, or is it a proper cafe with cooked meals

[@yorkiepudd2]

No idea what film that is🤣🤣 memory like a sieve. I'll say Jaws. Good video Dale did you add the audio after because of being sat in the middle of everything? Can't people clean up after themselves that toilet was minging like being at the services on the M1🤮

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I did do a voice over. I need to buy a better microphone. The movie was tango and cash

[@GrahamPratchett]

thourghly enjoying your videos. Sorry for being rude or out-off-order. Have really you stopped working? How much is this costing you (rude) Hope you get back to England and carry on enjoying your next batch of videos......................Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I am still working on the underground. I am just unable to film on the front of the train. A merry Christmas and happy new year to you too

[@WildWildWeasel]

An Amouage outlet there? Holy shit...I have a couple of their perfumes and they're PRICEY as hell (though I absolutely love them, especially Interlude)

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I am too tight to spend money in those places

[@evelynsutton4411]

Compared to other airports you have been in, terminal 4 looked dingy and old to me. Or am l just in a crabby mood? Not sure that 6 and a half hours in that seat would be very comfirtable either, compared to your first class journeys. lt is valuable that you show us these air trips, so we know what to expect for our money.Looking forward to the return trip.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

T4 was cramped but did feel modern. Compare it to the larger T3 which is just soul destroying. My next video will be on the 777 from Abu Dhabi to Bangkok in economy. Just for comparison

[@evelynsutton4411]

@@dalecharmantravels8057 That will be interesting

[@seanbonella]

dave please do you tube vids again....

[@cwnapier67]

he cannot. he has a video about it. not his choice.

[@oober2004]

TFL have stopped all drivers from filming.

[@evelynsutton4411]

And his name is Dale.

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

Sorry I am unable to do those sorts of videos again. I do plan on filming some underground videos from the public areas.

[@seanbonella]

@@dalecharmantravels8057 the bosses are terrible but can i just say, thank you for all the videos you have done...great watching them

[@amfwelsh]

Why Abu Dhabi? what is appealing about the place. just curious

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I was just transferring through Abu Dhabi on my way to Bangkok

[@wmrg1057]

Can't figure out why they put all those expensive shop at an airport. Don't people have enough luggage to shelp around?

[@dalecharmantravels8057]

I would say those shops are only for a handful of passengers. Most of us spend all our money on the trip let alone going in to Gucci

[@aedanjmcghie]

Did you know the people of Dubai don’t like the Flintstones? But the people of Abu Dhabi do.

[@stovesellers]

Funny!

[@wmrg1057]

Please don’t give up your day job 🤣🤣🤣

Pretty solid for economy I think, obligatory water on the seat not withstanding! :D

What's the difference between Dubai and Abu Dhabi? The people in Dubai don't like the Flintstones . . . The people in Abu Dhabi do.
