The Downsides of a Cheap Business Class Ticket - Royal Jordanian/Qatar Deal

[@johnk6657]

"I'd rather be uncomfortable flat than uncomfortable sitting!" 💯

[@JasonPizzinoOfficial]

I come for the vlog and stay for the entertainment. It doesn’t even feel like an airline review. 👌👌

[@or7652]

Been watching airline vlogs for years and you are one of, if not the most talented. You’re a natural. I hope you keep up the content. The humour is also super natural and not cringe. 👏🏼

[@NonstopEurotrip]

Why didn't you just go to the lounge for 6 hours and sleep on one of the many sofas? It's a great lounge, great airport and very underrated airline imho. Flown them many times in biz and never been disappointed. Outstanding value too.

[@The115Project]

Mate honestly you're my top travel creator by far. Love your work, cheers for the site as well, I've got a couple good wine deals out of it.

[@chad_atj]

I honestly do not know how this channel hasn’t blown up yet. Keep up the great work, mate!

[@acinonyx_potens_6564]

I love how you edited tour video, it is funny !

[@FlightFormula]

Thank you!!

[@nkhan4]

I don't know how I stumbled upon your video (first time watching) but this is the most entertaining and informative review I've ever seen! Subscribed and hooked!

[@SjWhit]

I really liked this video. Soooo many "look at how amazing my life is in first/business class videos" and here we have an insane and wildly inconvenient way of experiencing business. Despite that, it's something the average middle class person could do for themselves if you wanted. Keep this kind of content up.

[@CricketEngland]

Flights may be cheaper but I’d personally rather pay the extra and travel direct to not have to sit around in airports for several hours or the hassle of getting on off, on off, on off, on off, different aircraft’s and being able to travel at suitable times. It has to be more relaxing.

[@TheMasterhomaster]

If a hotel room smells like cigarettes blame the previous guests not the hotel. It’s extremely difficult to enforce smoking rules if a guest wants to smoke regardless of the rules.

[@JR2]

Dude, I'm so glad the algorithm recommended your video. Instant sub. Love what you're doing. Would you be willing to please ping on screen what you paid for things (like the transit hotel in Jordan) in several currencies like EUR, USD and AUD please? Although I'm in the UK, I think most English-language viewers will have some concept of their value and it'd help viewers like me to better understand your reactions to expenses. Maybe go with your viewer demographics by region and a few minutes in post-production could equal much wider reach. I'd be happy to have a chat if you want (DW...I've got nothing to sell you).

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

You’re a natural storyteller … great work! And your editing is on point. 👌 Can I ask where you picked up the various editing tricks and techniques … or is it just from watching videos you like? 🤔

[@kierangohil_]

Your content is really good. Stick with it, I think you will blow up some day. Safe travels man

[@mandated1311]

is there no gym in the QR Lounge? Could have been a more discreet to do the 5kms in the gym? But, i guess its a 'look at me, look at me' world now.

[@krogers17]

Flew RJ out of Amman couple weeks back in bus class. Nice at airport - dedicated separate check in room to right of main counters sit down and have your boarding pass processed. Then dedicated passport control and security with no wait so that is great too.

[@simplylux1589]

Why am I just coming across your videos now and it was the most random too! But loved this video and subscribed immediately ☺️

[@rrr_001]

first video ive seen of yours, its amazing. Surprised when i saw the lower subscriber count, this videos quality is that of some bigger channels.

[@MurtAM2024]

New sub, your voice is very calming. Will binge watch everything now

[@grandechai23]

I love how you always check out the USB watts. Such a minor thing, but it makes a difference! No one does that in reviews 😅

[@mjrc123]

Fantastic video. Watched every second and it’s a new sub from me 👌🏼

[@doingthingsdifferently]

1st video found… subscribed Really well made, what do you use to find your pop culture clips in your vids.

[@FlightFormula]

Ahh thanks!

[@A321_XLR]

lol must be so confusing with so many trips to edit all at once. the (cancelled) amtrak, this one WHILE fumbling with the website W for you

[@FlightFormula]

Hahaha, yeah the whole bulk filming then editing it making me go a bit crazy tbh

[@pullformore]

I've transitted through AMM many times, and only used the hotel once - and having done it, I won't bother again. It was so much hassle to get to the hotel, and get back to the airport. The hotel they use isn't in the terminal, they arrange a driver to drive you there and back - it's sort-of on the airport approach road. It really isn't worth it, the whole process is dreadfully inefficient and takes so much time that you lose time for sleeping. Instead, I now just stay in the RJ lounge, which is quiet and has enough space in the middle of the night to stretch out and sleep. Also: I find the RJ 787 Business Class seat the most comfortable bed in the sky. Yes, it totally sucks as a seat, but when in bed mode it's so soft and comfy with lots of padding. And the cardamon coffee - OMG so delicious!

[@icokoy]

Stumbled upon your channel and now im bingewatching your videos. love the reviews!

[@FlightFormula]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@AleksMontenegro]

Epic content as usual 👏

[@glennkamers]

Looked like the coast line of the Netherlands when you flew back. Was the flight from Amsterdam to Amman?

[@JoseCreates]

Great video dude! It's a shame you missed out on the transit hotel, would have been interesting to see what they actually offer. I believe Emirates offers passengers something similar when having a layover in Dubai.

[@timevans5966]

I have done the RJ hotel thing. I semi-regularly do LHR to CAI via AMM; the LHR flights arrive late and the CAI flights are the next day. I did the hotel once. Never again - the RJ ground experience is just too disorganised, the staff care too little. And the hotel is crap anyway; it's not located within the terminal, you have to be driven to the hotel and this means going through a special immigration. It's a a huge cluster*ck of disorganisation from staff who do not give a sh!t. For my 9 hour layover, I ended up with just two hours in the hotel - seriously not worth it. It's much better just to stay in the RJ lounge, which, whilst it does not have a dedicated sleeping space, does have sofas long enough to sleep on and is quiet and empty enough overnight to sleep.

[@bobbastian760]

Is it your first time being in Aman? I was excited my first time too, I stayed in longer than expected. It was very dry and a bit rough at times but entering Petra a few days later made up for it....

[@Warragul1966]

Did one of the Royal Jordanian FA's wear a 'traditional' Jordanian dress for the flight, changing to the standard garb just before landing? On all 4 of my (short haul) RJ flights there was and she split time between Business and Economy cabin. It seemed that she did have a bit of supervisory role. I named the role 'Mother'.

[@bigfoot22au]

nice video bro. i love doing status runs. Im gold this year, but wanna continue to get gold next year. was it cost effecitve with the business class tickets? plus the seats looks small bro. being a big guy with big feet, didn't look like much room on their dreamliner.

[@PaulHarvey-l4z]

20:54 hi fyi, the senior purser who you thought was seated in business. Is the onboard security officer as seen all Royal Jordanian Airline. Btw I flew with them in business last year LHR-AMM-BKK-KUL for a great price on their 787. The last sector was on MH A 330 which is always great.

[@lauras.the.traveler20_]

😂 I broke my ankle in Hobart, my Travel insurance got me business class on Qantas in the way back to DFW,so I had a tiny excuse for not liking the biz class- IMO United Polaris is better. But all the SYD flight and airport employees were so cool

[@WilliamWaddell-jh7mu]

Nice videos,what set up do you use on your luggage when wheeling it ?

[@notaccel]

Alex Rider? Impressive, good show. Even better books.

[@FlightFormula]

Hahaha yeah the books are incredible

[@LearningToLiveNow]

Hey man, LOVE your channel! Your personality, commentary and humor is AWESOME! Keep up the great work

[@Eskimoken89]

How do you find these deals mate? Great video

[@FlightFormula]

Flyertalk forums, fb groups, grinding google flights (this surprisingly works out a lot)

[@travelshad]

Thales is Telus? What! I was away from the video and had to replay that bit to see if you were talking about the Canadian mobile operator TELUS!

[@lkrt0]

again, a super entertaining video! the subscriber count will soon follow with this level of quality

[@tedbernstein3809]

An interesting blog to watch... basically an escape for a traveler who is traveling just to travel... and a chance to sit in the front of the plane for the thrill of it. Also an adventure cause one never knows what this 'nifty fare' will get you. As was stated in the previous comment... very entertaining... and presented in a clever and fun way.

[@briangasser973]

The seat on RJ is the same AA uses on its A321T transcon in J

[@NM_21]

Just stumbled on your channel and love the content!

Where did you find this flight?

[@druiz012]

I have an 8 hour layover in Doha... did you consider going into Doha? Ill have access to the business class lounge but not the first class lounge so that may have been a factor. Lol

[@acinonyx_potens_6564]

Please continue tour videos !

Will do🫡

[@itsspence]

Late 90’s, early 2000’s - what a time! You have a real natural talent and 😍🔥. Keep telling tales. Thanks heaps!

[@jimmaynard]

how did you score the deal?

[@bellabam8]

Love the Royal Jordanian livery. It's an airline I've wanted to try for years. Great report!!!

[@steverichards9087]

Love ya work mate, keep em coming! 👍

[@Hukahey]

Ok so your content is very cool so well done and subscribe and told others to check your channel out ha ha my son is a big creator in Australia so I appreciate the work you are putting into your channel. Just viewing your JSX review as thinking of doing LAX to Vegas for $159 in August so will see. Travel safe

[@mark123655]

Amman Airport hotel still cheaper than Singapore.. and saves you on taxis etc.. Just sad they'd given you the wrong info initially, but those free deals are generally limited. Must be about be the worst seat any airline installed in J on a 787 as 2x2x2 (and still with a footwell)

[@Hi_its_Kartik]

Your intro is dope af!

[@georgeg6544]

So interesting. Thank you

[@Glasgowwill]

First time coming across your content, Simon. Really enjoyed it and in Europe, we do love a "points run", when we can find one ;)

[@Harmonikdiskorde]

11:45 Yeah those nuts are crazy! At first I wondered if you had tiny hands but no

[@GreenSix6]

How good was Stormbreaker! Also read that whole series when I was like 11 lmao

[@Ozpif]

Why not just use a Travel Agent who'd sort all that for you? For the small fee, I think it's always worth it.

[@jdscavella]

7:41 Am I the only one who want to hear the 20 minute rant lol? Another great nevertheless!

[@bobbastian760]

How do the nuts on the plane compare to being in Amman for the first time? 🤔

Hopefully Royal Jordanian will watch this and take action against cabin crew using spare business seats as their own personal relaxation areas.

I appreciate that🫡

another great review... cheers handsome rooster

[@Lilisjwang]

I feel ashamed actually RJ used to be one of the best airplanes , they even used to serve food for economy class in 2 hours flight I don’t know what happened ??? The fell so off And actually if I was you I was going to have a big problem with them after the guy told you that you have access to the hotel :/ Luckily them you are calm Anyways! I just found you channel It’s amazing!! You have to review Saudi airlines soon

[@kaffir76]

Did the airport have Priority Pass sleep pods? You could have used your Chase Sapphire Reserve or Capital One Business Venture X Priority Pass lounge benefits.

[@FlightFormula]

Hahahahaha

[@gpierre90]

Hi Simon, where do I start, Qatar Airways, no doubt you would enjoy their business product, I know it's good but I'm more of an Emirates Fan than Qatar Airways and there are a couple of little niggles that O have heard and now know that makes me lean more towards Emirates than them, but I will not disclose them in public if you know, you know if not ignorance is bliss. That's all I'll say. Royal Jordanian, umm...was expecting a more up class look, feel and service kind of almost similar to the ME3 carrier a little bit disappointed, don't get me wrong it does look like they have a good not great business product in their B787, but their Embraer are a let down and I'm not sure if it's only this one flight return from Paris-Amman but if that head purser or cabin manager or I don't know what Royal Jordanian calls the head of cabin crew, however if this same person was working for any of those ME3 carrier and one team member or passenger were to report this to management, he would absolutely, definitely, without any doubt in my mind be fired on the spot upon the return flight to home base of any of those carriers.

You are in dozens of airplanes in expensive business class even, far far above any normal persons budget. And u complain about a night for 250 dollar... which is in line or cheap compared to what you fly. I think ur getting a cheap😂

Mate, 265aud/6hrs = $1060/night That’s approximately what was paid for two business class flights. Is my maths right?
