[@CSN1057]

I have watched quite a few airline videos by others. Just saw a couple of yours today, for the first time. In my opinion your videos are the most well made. I am surprised your subscription numbers don’t truly reflect the quality of your videos. Keep up the good work gentleman.

[@pratyushsingh9986]

Good to see you uplaoding regularly again. Always love your trip reports.

Business class seats looks so luxurious even its more luxury than some newer aircrafts! IFE available only on business class like saudia’s A320/A321 and older A330, I’m not a fan of IAE Engines but it’s makes a nostalgic of MD-90 when i was flying on it since over 14 years!

[@glad_ya]

this video was everything up my alley. yes, i do love videos with bgm and super editings, voiceover etc... but this felt like a gentle wave of warmth 😁 also the info dump of different airplanes is super appreciated. enjoyed watching this video while having my lunch 🤭 ( this video makes the viewer feel as if we are on the ride too)

[@anumanshu]

You are my favourite air travel reviewer. Your soothing way of presenting things is just immaculate and it feels like I am also travelling with you. Also, a bit jealous of you as well as I also dream of living a life like you in which I get to travel and explore the world. Keep up the good. work. Kudos to you :)

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot for the very kind words! Nothing is impossible, so whatever you dream with fight for it. I did the very same. All the people I know that got to do what they love will never tell you that it was easy. All the best!

[@nexusgaming21282]

Handsdown a great video. I had a flight with etihad on the same aircraft type 320-200 in economy that aircraft was 20 years old but still in pretty good condition. I think etihad could put a better aircraft on its more popular routes as it has a huge indian market but still the flight was great. Lovely to see you back on etihad. I would love to see you on a 12 hours plus flight on etihad. Keep up the good work ❤❤❤

[@ahmedayaat2727]

Firm landings with Etihad for you has been a common thing ahaha, I remember the dreamliner one too. Top notch catering as always, just like your content

First of all, thanks for joining the team! Well, here you can see what has been going on at Etihad recently. It’s a good airline. Not as premium and high standards as QR and EK but still a very good value for your buck. See you around!

Wow the difference to short/mid haul flights in Business class from European Airlines is huge. The seats here in Business class are exactly the same as in Economy, with the only difference that the seat next to you remains empty…. I hope I can try one of the UAE Airlines some day. So far I have tried a lot of airlines around the world, including Oman Air, but none from the UAE. Great video as always! 👍🏻

[@mattc2094]

Hey another great vid! (I love how you clink your glass on the window... very nice cheers!) Wondering what is your day job that allows you to travel so widely and post such great content? :D

[@roahmad445]

Please try PIA long haul flight in business class to see one of the best airlines back in the day become so unmaintained. It will be interesting to see an airline with so much potential destroyed and this was the airline that started Emirates. So yeah it would be nice to see how time changed.

[@SFAvgeek]

It didn’t start emirates btw. It gave emirates a leased aircraft which emirates had to still pay for, it’s not like they gave it to them for free or donated it to Emirates. Emirates is independent.

[@oblongmusic3389]

So in April 2024 I flew from Abu Dhabi to Manila in economy with Etihad..the plane was a B777-200 and was so old it still had the original Etihad livery with their crest on the tail fin .. the interior was a disaster - totally worn and very uncomfortable,with the seats as small as in a single aisle plane, with low cost carrier style legroom for a 9-10 hours flight - I’m 6’1(183cm)tall , with broad shoulders.. the aircon didn’t work properly, and the food was well below Etihad’s normal level.. the crew seemed really embarrassed, and the cabin manager sat with 1 angry passenger for at least 30 minutes to try to keep him calm. This was a red eye flight , so I think nobody in economy had any sleep at all .. I’d come to AUH from London earlier that day , and was already really tired - just got more exhausted minute by minute etc .. I’d give this flight 2/10 .. the first point because we didn’t crash and die, and the second point for the sound of the engine startup just behind the left wing , as well as the early morning views over Metro Manila .. it’s a flight I hope I never have to repeat , and I hope they never use that ancient and obsolete plane again .. sorry to be a downer , but sometimes airlines get too much hype , and their failures aren’t talked about as much as they really should be .. it was a fucking horror show , and Etihad should apologise and pay realistic compensation to all of us who had to endure that nightmare they put us through ..Peace ✌🏻 to you Alex , and to all your viewers . 🙏
