Hello ! 👋🏼 First of all thank you for this awesome video, I saw all the aspects I wanted to see and the wing view is pretty nice. ✨ I've spotted an SQ A350 flying over me (in Mayotte Island) this morning, and that's why I'm here. 😅 Concerning airlines playing music before landing Air Austral also do so. It's the Réunion Island airline (French Overseas Department) based in RUN/FMEE airport. They mostly play local music from the Island and they even do it before take-off.

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for your comment! Interesting that Air Austral also plays music on landing - especially that it is local music.

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for watching! The Airbus A350-900 is an excellent aircraft to fly on.

[@user-eh9iw1br9f]

[@user-eh9iw1br9f]

Malaysia Airlines used to have this route years back but being cut off due to some reason despite good load

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for watching! Hopefully South Africa will see MH return soon.

[@angel_lucifer3540]

I enjoyed watching your videos. What type of camera do you use to film your videos? What software app do you use to edit your KZbin videos and is it free to use? Do you use your phone or laptop to do your video editing? Whilst you film your videos, do you use tripod or selfie stick - what brand is it? I am still learning on how to film and edit my travel videos. Any advice would be very helpful😊

[@aviationtripreports]

Thank you very much! I mostly use a GoPro Hero 10, with some clips filmed with a Samsung mobile phone. I use Adobe Premiere Pro to edit - unfortunately, it is not free. I use my laptop - you can't get the full experience of Adobe Premiere Pro on a phone. I use a GoPro handle to film (came with the GoPro). I hope this advice is useful! I look forward to seeing some of your travel videos soon.

Airports that charge the travellers money for usage of luggage trolleys should be denounced.

Oh wow I never thought Richard Branson would be sitting in Business from Singapore to SA. And throw his name somewhere in your title or thumbnail for more views

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for your comment! Yes, I was a little surprised, but Singapore Airlines does codeshare with Virgin group airlines.

[@RK-bx1by]

@@aviationtripreports Oh wow I didnt know Virgin Atlantic had some arrangement with Star Alliance. I thought it was just VA here in Aus which is partnered with SQ

[@dyon7630]

​@@RK-bx1byunclever alien, bye

[@markmitchell2658]

Singapore have shares in virgin

[@duaneowens7777]

were they strict with the checked baggage weight. How was the customer service?

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for your comment! The customer service from Singapore Airlines was excellent - I didn't go over the checked baggage weight, so I'm not sure how strict they are.

[@pkmobilepk9202]

สวัสดีค่ะสวยงานมากค่ะขอโทษด้วยค่ะที่พูดประษาไทยค่ะสะดวกสะบายหน้าไปมากค่ะ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤🎉

[@aviationtripreports]

Thanks for watching!

A350-900

[@aviationtripreports]

Yes, that's right.

[@beccatate55]

Which one do you prefer? A350 or 777 300er?

[@aviationtripreports]

I think I prefer the B777-300ER, as it's a larger aircraft. What about you?

[@MyViewToronto]

Richard Branson is older and much skinnier than that gentleman.

[@aviationtripreports]

I believe that is Sir Richard - the camera angle isn't the best and the footage doesn't afford a prolonged view, but the others I was travelling with were pretty sure it was him. Looks just like his photos online.
