Great video, Jayden! The E190 looked very comfortable, especially with the extra legroom you had. Service looked nice too. Loved the Newcastle beach. It had some great waves. Hope your trip to HKG went smoothly.

I find the Uber drivers in Newcastle very friendly and talkative :) Once got an Uber from Cardiff Station to NTL and we talked all the way 23:31 That's near Wondabyne Station, the only station without road access. It also has a very short platform

[@JaydenWong]

yep they are friendly!

Awesome video Jayden. Never flown on the Qantaslink E190 but really good to see what that product brings. Goining to Europe as well in June/July but enjoy your trip and can't wait to see some awesome new vids that come out after that. ;) ryanair.

Hey when you have the time you should fly the e190 it’s a amazing aircraft I fly regularly to Townsville North Queensland

20:02, I use my international credit card to take the train and tram in Sydney and Melbourne and it work, except airline credit card.

[@davidtaylor2287]

love your videos and the E190 is a comfortable plane without those middle seats

[@JaydenWong]

thanks David!

[@magnustan841]

Good job those seats and the aircraft in general are comfortable. Qantas just announced they are launching direct Darwin to Singapore flights with E190s. Thats a 4.5h flight, so comfort is crucial, especially in a small plane. One of the most interesting routes I've ever seen my home airport of Changi serve.

[@JaydenWong]

I can see how they can easily fill up the planes with LHR connection and Jetstar Asia but ew🤣

[@ryansofly]

The E190 is one of my fave regional jets. Used to fly them with Virgin Blue back in the day!

I missed the SAS in Oslo! You can connect to bluetooth😍

[@beyondee]

Heyaa, great content! Notice you frequent lounges, wonder if it would be possible for you to do lounge reviews if possible and maybe in a separate video? Also if you do them I'd be interested to know if they provide bottled water as bottled water is useful for budget flights. No pressure & thanks for the content! keep it up!

[@JaydenWong]

thank you so much for watching! I thought about doing proper lounge reviews but decided not so as it's hard to do it without filming other people and probably upsetting them. Noted re the water bottle. Cheers!

Thanks Lawrence!

[@rachkate76]

Three suitcases my gawd! 😂 Enjoy 👍🏽 That extra long handshake greeting with 6’4” Lmfaoooo and those derros in the background on the train. 😂 Queensland Rail is super strict about not crossing over train tracks or even standing within a foot of the edge of the platform- you can get fined for either.

[@JaydenWong]

Greetings from the Philippines! I wouldn't be surprised if Transport NSW has similar rules, just novocastrians being novocastrians

Great video, I hope you had a good flight. I have flown the QantasLink E190 three times myself and enjoyed it. All the flights on the E190 I flew were in Business Class so it was cool to see what the Economy Class was like because I have been wondering what it is like. Keep up the great work!

[@JaydenWong]

I flew the E190 biz once. Economy is almost as comfy but obviously less legroom. The bulkhead definitely had more room😂

I think I'll retire to Adelaide eventually. I've just been offered a job with a Canadian Airline at YVR, check-in, gate lounge duties, etc., so will try that and see what it's like. I'm 58 and they hired me, so, why not. Should be interesting.

[@EpicThe112]

Excellent trip report and if you were to fly DRW🇦🇺-SIN🇸🇬? You have two choices QF E190 or SQ B737 Max which will you choose. In the flight itself there are passengers going to Sydney via Newcastle NSW by taking the Local transportation system and then at one point CityRail train Newcastle NSW to Sydney Central station. For the Tram it needs the NSW Opal Card. 23:00 Avoid the V set during Rush Hours because you will be forced to do Standing Room only

[@JaydenWong]

sq for the tv and wifi
