Keep up the good work Paul!

[@the_earlybirf1170]

Heya Paul good to see your back. Maybe do another Sun Country airlines review?.

[@tylercai]

Hi

[@SafePlum3626]

BTW, When you flew from AKL to SYD on QF140, It was most likely operated by Jetconnect which is a New Zealand company wholly owned by Qantas. They do this for, money of course since New Zealand's Labour/Labor costs are lower than Australia's.

[@IRLTheGreatZarquon]

I did indeed see when it went live a few days ago, but it had been removed by the time I got to click on it. Now I can finally see what I missed out on!

[@dahorn100011]

How very aussie. 'It looks like we're leaving the terminal, crew its time to go flying'

[@vijgai3]

Love flying with Qantas. I was leaving Manila when parts of the city & the Shangri-La hotel was raged with gun fire by extremists. When I saw the Qantas aircraft arrive at the gate, I heaved a sigh of relief knowing I would be home safe now.

[@Alex-nm9xs]

So glad to see ya back, favourite flight KZbinr, my goal is to be a Pilot when I grow up. Love the vids man!

[@Paul_Lucas]

Thank you and good luck with your goal!

[@nonrevmax]

I also took Qantas's A332 in economy right at the start of the pandemic in March. I was only flying from MEL-SYD so I couldn't justify flying business but I took the opportunity to make a review of the economy seat. Also I do agree, Qantas has some of the most friendlest staff around! Excellent review Paul!!

[@diannewi]

On any other airline I would've been nervous with all that turbulence at the end of the flight. But, Qantas has one of the most sterling safety records on planet earth, their pilots take enormous pride in that fact. Another nice report, Paul. I hope you got to see more of Bali than the airport.

[@carolinelane9599]

Hi Paul. Always love your content. Now that us Aussies are finally free to leave the country again after nearly two years locked in, I have booked to fly Qantas to Singapore on A330 200 in BC which is why I was watching. Before changing over to Emirates A380 to Europe. 19th March will be 2 years since this travel nut stepped on a plane. And that was to scurry home from OS before the border shut. Can't wait for this trip. Longest I have been grounded since a kid.

[@ademcevik9434]

We love your channel and are extremely grateful to be able to watch your videos Paul.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, amazing trip report as always Paul! QANTAS is a decent airline, and I loved the shade you threw at British Airways! Also, that was a cool looking storm!😸😻😸

[@avnel3007]

I love how the pilot says "Cabin crew time to go flying so please arm the doors and cross check"

[@Yeviscount]

And then says we're going back to the gate.

[@Sanznachito]

Great to see a new Qantas review after a long absence.... apart from the turbulence and the tech delay at the start, it looked like an extremely comfortable experience! Thanks for sharing 😀

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Paul great vlog sir ! Looking forward to the next set of vlogs !

[@ashleyware8396]

Paul mate I'm so sorry about your delay. I'm a massive subscriber and I'm extremely awesome on your honest opinion. I can't wait to view the rest of your opinion on the rest of your trip. And mate you have given my counties airlines an awesome review . I'm so proud of them and mate Cheer's 👍

[@barvdw]

It's in how they manage delays and cancellations that the truly good carriers distinguish themselves from the lot. Qantas didn't do too badly, it would seem.

[@katpyss]

Love your videos Paul, been watching you since last year. Thanks for all your hard work

[@trotva]

Man, I really enjoy this channel and its content !

[@Paul_Lucas]

Thank you!

[@polydactylstrangle]

Love your videos man, it brings me back to my childhood fearlessness of flying, loved the whole airport to destination feeling. I am slowly starting to like flying again and cannot wait to get back up there when all of this Covid madness has stopped.

[@anna6570]

27 videos! I'm sure you were entertained during lockdown editing them. I love watching your reviews.

[@melissanoonan3301]

Such great news Paul that you have a few in the bank! Haven't been on a plane in months - well nine actually. I had 7 flights (for work) booked prior to our lockdown. Pretty sad, but awesome to see parts of my country that I feel so removed from with the current Victorian restrictions. Your timing couldn't be better! :) Thanks so much, I used to take so many of these views for granted - how sad. Love your work!

[@julzb7165]

Brilliant review Paul, love your humourous touches too!

[@omarg7702]

Love how well put together his videos are

[@TalkingPlanning]

As an Aussie, it is nice to see videos and reminisce on when we could be proud to fly internationally, with two great airlines (Qantas and Virgin Australia). Hopefully, those days will return. But first, the individual states still have very different restrictions to deal with first!

[@tammypearson4500]

"Braced" ? Yikes, I cannot imagine. Made me think of brace for impact. It's not often you speak of turbulence, so this had to be horrible. Admittedly, my nerves can't handle well a lengthy period of turbulence. Love to see another video... you've been missed.

[@chrismckellar9350]

I sat in the same seat as Paul on one of my SYD/AKL flights on an Qantas A330-200. Qantas was operating their A333-200's between MEL/SYD and AKL until Australian and New Zealand boarders closed. Using their A333-200's was Qantas between Australia and New Zealand is the airline's shortest international flights using this aircraft type.

[@gw78787]

I love watching your videos! Think your better than most others! Very well detailed and that’s why I love watching them

[@D4N1312]

It's great to see more people like you and Josh visit Indonesia. If it weren't for corona, you should explore more in our country :)

[@MrButtonpresser]

After being pretty much grounded in 2020, I'm starting to get excited again about 'going flying' again. Gotta love that Business Class.

[@coza7892]

Nice to hear that you enjoyed your time down under mate, i can't wait to see you here again

[@kiwinobby1474]

Mate, ima kiwi in uk and been subscribed to your channel from before you went full time. Watched everyone of them and you have come along brilliant. Looking forward to binge watching all your “COVID saved” vids. Keep up the amazing, professional work your doing mate. 👍👍👍

[@jamessmith6402]

Excellent video 👍 thanks Paul I’m looking forward to more videos

[@gunvaldsandhaland7757]

[@MrGreatplum]

Once again, Paul - your video is an absolute delight. Some joy during these difficult times. Thanks for sharing your travels.

[@Ls3Mike]

So happy to see these videos back. Love the content and the quality. Please keep it up and stay safe

[@peterthecoderd.1210]

Glad to hear you're okay. I worry when we don't hear from you. I am fairly home bound. When it comes to travel, I am a shut-in. I greatly appreciate what you do as I am unlikely to travel in this lifetime.

[@tarkuselp7730]

I know what you mean about locals bashing their own domestic airlines. I've never had anything but great service from Qantas and I first flew with them in 1971. BA have always given me decent service too. Maybe not in the top echelons of international carriers but nowhere near as bad as Brits would have you believe. Keep up the good work Paul!

[@cardinal_thrill5]

great review and thanks for posting. Glad your experience with Australian hospitality was good, I feel that we are proficient while also being kind and genuine (mostly). Service on Qantas and Virgin Australia is always great! I'd even say Virgin Aus is even better! Qantas is great also tho

[@richardnei]

Great trip report! Well done catching the Qantas retro 737! ✈️

[@ahoythespoonsareawake4617]

Thank GOD for the backlog! I miss flying. Keep it coming. Great to see.

[@johnpinckney4979]

Great video. Liked the glimpse of the Qantas "retrojet". Really a class act. Qantas was indeed not only "Australia's Overseas Airline", but is likely now Australia's best domestic airline. Were air travel to ever come back, it would be nice to see the three-point belts adopted in all passenger seats. It would be a serious improvement to customer safety and comfort. Interesting to note the flickering from the florescent lights as you were getting ready to board. Reminded my of the old 25 frame flicker on CRT TV's when going from the U.S. to Europe. I'm glad you've been able to chronicle air travel before it was taken away or, at the very least, actively discouraged.

[@schulz.]

Glad to see that you’re back Paul! I really love watching all your business and first class experience videos and especially at night :) idk why though 🤷🏼‍♂️^^

[@ey7290]

I love turbulence, Last year i was on a flight from Gatwick to Amsterdam and from takeoff to landing it was non stop turbulence, brief moments of 0G, constant up and down, left right, diagonal. Its not for everyone, especially those with motion sickness but i loved it

[@More-Space-In-Ear]

Been waiting for your next video, I’ll sit back and enjoy.....👍🏼😉

[@jamesking1952]

Nice to see you back. Looking forward to future videos.

[@peterlitchford13]

Thanks Paul, a really enjoyable vlog. I catch your written thru Google News as they often relay good items from Simple Flying. Nice stuff pls keep going!

[@Paul_Lucas]

Glad you enjoyed it Peter!

[@benandersson9]

I always look forward to watching your videos Paul. Although they tend to make me want to go somewhere hot on a plane which I'm envious of! Most of us aren't going much further than Tesco right now. Oh well Cheers!

[@sincerelysim]

I'm an Aussie and I love Qantas. I'm booked on a QF A330 to Hawaii next year from Sydney. Let's hope we get there! At the moment, all I get to fly is the QF 737's.

[@peterlanders3900]

Thanks Paul. Really appreciate your content. So happy to hear that you have 27 to load.

[@Spookieham]

Qantas more or less abandoned Perth for international flights years ago although they did start the non-stop to London before COVID. We flew with Garuda to Bali a year ago and it was a lovely flight with great service. Note: for Australians Bali is like Majorca etc for those from the UK.

[@noobplayer_23]

As an Indonesian, Bali is too expensive and overrated I mean roadside fried rice costs twice as much in bali than in Jakarta Everything is also more expensive I actually recommend you to visit Jogjakarta or Lake Toba in North Sumatra

[@therobloxiancola106]

@@noobplayer_23 Yes, but tbh Most Tourist Destinations ( looking at you, New York ) are very expensive, if you look ay any expensive city over 50 years ago, it might of been more affordable if it wasn’t for air travel

[@carolinelane9599]

So true Graham. Only other international is Singapore, or at least I hope so. Booked on Qantas to Singapore for August. After 2 years grounded I can't wait to smell those jet fumes. My fifo hubby is great, another airport, another plane lol

[@davidshepherd6104]

Ah, finally we start to see how you got back from AKL!!!

[@neilrmartin1984]

Maybe useful to know for future reference - that when a leg(s) on a Qantas flight is operated by Jetstar (including Jetstar Asia) the same Qantas entitlements (baggage, food etc) apply. Took me a while to fathom that out earlier this year

[@Yeviscount]

Happened to me going to HNL. Don't count on it. Was not on their list for meals movies etc even though I was a QANTAS passenger. Asked to buy a meal and was told they only carried enough for pre paids.

[@beezelyparker9695]

I miss flying.. I miss Qantas and I miss Bali :(

[@CdPerth]

And G'day to you Paul! Hopefully you can come back once this is all over! And yeah, I've given Qantas a miss for a while now, but think I'll be going back to them next time I can go from Perth to Melbourne, given how it's looking for Virgin these days.

[@paulr301]

Hey Paul, always enjoy your travel videos. I noticed you made it Auckland in the NZ summer, did you travel at all in NZ? I was hoping on a trip review on the Northern Explorer train between Auckland and Wellington, if you ever get a chance an amazing journey.

Hahhaaa! I am one of the Australians who are harshly critical of Qantas. I am glad they looked after you! Thank you for the video!

I am a subscriber to your channel on KZbin and want to tell you how much I enjoy your postings. I am a very elderly lady - a great-grandmother - who for health reasons has not been able to travel for many years so your channel lets me enjoy travel vicariously! Please keep posting especially now that the dread coronavirus has decimated the airline industry - so few people are travelling now except for emergencies when it cannot be avoided that I hope you will continue to pursue your "hobby" for people like myself.

Nice to hear the channel is going to get busy again!! But why would the lockdown affect you uploading videos that were already filmed?

[@Paul_Lucas]

Because there’s no point in burning through content unnecessarily when there have been fewer opportunities to travel and make videos - now I’ve managed to film quite a few more, it’s the right time to burn through a bit of the backlog.

There was a lot of old aircraft on display in this video (including the one you were on). I didn't know that any flag carriers were still flying the A300, I'm surprised it wasn't more scruffy than it was. Any flight with good service and a thunderstorm to watch is a superb flight in my books. Thanks for a great Video.

This was an A330, not the A300! The aircraft in the video is less than ten years old :-)

Aus borders will be closed for at least 12 months from now. QF announced today UK US flights unlikely until xmas 2021. Only exceptions maybe special covid bubble travel routes to NZ South Korea Singapore and Taiwan. All those airport shots in the video are now filled with parked smaller aircraft. Most long haul long gone to California.

[@81Alfetta]

I do like QANTAS, they tend to be my preference. Glad you had a good experience with them. I don't know how other people's experience tallies, but my impression has always been that Virgin has a bit more pizzazz, however QANTAS tends to get the basics and little stuff down better. I think a mate's summary was quite good: Virgin will have a slicker cabin, but QANTAS will remember to bring you your drink. So it's down to preference, I've had generally good experiences with both. That being said, well, standing in the airport on a Friday afternoon, with a cyclone blowing in, everyone else has ceased flying because of the weather but QANTASLink is somehow still managing to land Q400s so you can go home? That will buy A LOT of loyalty. :P
