Great video Jayden! Stroopwafles was my new favourite snack after I visited Amsterdam and brought lots of parks to bring back to Australia. Also at those prices Iceland air should give complimentary food and drinks, to make it more appealing over the low-cost carriers. Interesting you chose to stay out of the city centre.

So nice to see you in Amsterdam! I'm sorry you experienced such horrible Dutch weather. Come back between May and September, it is (usually) much better. Great trip report. Iceland looked beautiful! and windy! Not sure why they checked your carry on bags like that. Maybe due to the change in aircraft? I love the 757 too. Great recording quality with your phone. I can never capture airline menus so clearly. Well done.

Another Beautiful video, jayden. You're getting more and more professional. Particularly enjoyed this one, for sentimental reasons : flew Icelandair on the LUX-KEF-ORD and return. The first time I flew to the USA. Operated by a DC 68 super 63. It involved a 60 minute stopover in Iceland and a change of crew. Beautiful memories (1982)

Great video, Jayden! I actually stayed in the same Hilton when I was in Amsterdam. Definitely very convenient. I couldn't figure out what the deal was with checking in all the carry ons. What a hassle for the passengers and the staff. I don't see the upside there. Sounds like the flight went well outside of that. Glad you were enjoying your time in Iceland. That was a lovely view from your room. It's a beautiful country but so expensive. The high cost has inhibited me from going there. Maybe some day.

Thanks for the travel vlog Jayden. Just a small point ... at AMS when you showed the BA Embraer you noted it was from LCY and you mentioned it (LCY) was a BA hub. But it's not a BA hub like LHR or even LGW. Note that LHR-AMS remains a main BA route and both BA and KLM compete for sixth freedom traffic. Yes lots of BA and KLM flights serve LCY but these mainly cater to point-to-point travellers.

@JaydenWong5 ай бұрын
They didn’t bother measuring because they were force checking everything for free haha. In my experience only low-cost (very stingy ones too) check the dimensions of the bags. But I can’t say that for every airline and every flight.
@CLeungistravelling9 ай бұрын
The gate staff probably think there's no overhead lockers for this flight 🤷♂ It is understandable if the staff request passengers to check in hand luggage if possible if it was a turboprop flight, due to the limited space of the overhead locker or there is even none at all. Even if there is no overhead locker for the flight, you can still hand in your hand luggage to the ground staff before boarding and collect them at the tarmac of your destination once you get off the plane. One good example of this is FlyPelican (a local airline based in Newcastle NSW), with Jetstream 32 being the sole aircraft type model, which doesn't have overhead lockers, any carry on luggage needs to be handed into or collected from the ground staff before or after the flight respectively

I flew Icelandair in 2014. Back then, all they had was the 757's. While I liked the airline, they were having labor problems and rolling strikes which resulted in the cancellation of our flight from JFK to KEF. We had no problem on the return to JFK but I didn't breath a sigh of relief until we were wheels up out of KEF. Iceland is a beautiful country and a trip worth taking but the Icelandair experience was stressful due to the unpredictable labor situation. I hope by now, it's all been sorted out.
