Many years ago, My late beloved wife and myself had finally saved enough to undertake a Bus tour of the US.We flew from LHR to SFO on a pretty worn-out (judging your modern aircraft) PAN AM 747. We were like a pair of excited children as the plane took off from 27L and although we, over a period subsequently undertook two more trips to the US, My enduring memory is that first long haul flight. PS I hugely enjoyed your video!

Hey there! I just wanted to say I just discovered your channel, and you are already one of my favorite flight review channels on KZbin. Your videos are entertaining and useful, and have lots of variety. I also appreciate how positive you are, and you don’t dramatically complain about small details, which is something I can’t say for the more mainstream channels. I love your videos, and keep up the great work!

[@haroldlipschitz9301]

I used QR A35K twice on a recent trip and will go out of my way to never book A330, 787, or 77W again! Simply a fantastic aircraft, with better cabin air. I usually get headaches long haul but there were none on A350! As to your comment, I prefer A350 to A380. Also, applause for your attention to detail and gorgeous filming angles. A couple points: 1. it's possible on your DXB arrival ATC wanted the aircraft to vacate as quickly as possible. In that case it would make sense to use reverse and brake generously. 2. There is no such thing as short 'finals', though that's a common mistake. In pilot lingo it's final approach, and ideally there is only one, so it would be 'short final'.

[@zuberpatel3638]

I have been flying to India every 3 years from YYZ and now i realize hard work by crews in the air. Respect for long haul crew members...

[@ishanpai1791]

Great video on QR. I personally flew their A350-900 ULR roundtrip from Mumbai to Boston via Doha in 2021 and I was amazed by the product they offer on board. I felt they were much better than Emirates tbh, my both flights though was delayed by 1 hr due to heavy rains in Mumbai & traffic congestion in Doha, the cabin was truely amazing and got great comfort level at 35000 ft, despite a full flight. Despite flying during peak covid, i was still offered 3 meal options to choose from and they were really delicious. Also A350 is such a quiet aircraft and provides the best comfort level, QR has put it to next great level. I also flew same route with Emirates in 2019 and it has its own charm with a quiet cabin and having the entire lower deck of economy class, something that I found great compared to other airlines as one can take a good walk on the lower deck on a flight longer than 8+ hrs, however ground experience with Emirates has been disappointing. But their product offering along with crew and food are also great. I believe QR and EK both have their benefits to fly with along with slight inconsistencies,but apart from that, their flights are pretty good. But would prefer QR only on their A350s or B777s whereas with Emirates ,would prefer only their A380s.

[@SFAvgeek]

They don’t have the ulr, only Singapore airlines has it.

[@dubonleaderonewkyungsoodo]

i have just completed a long haul QR flight from DOH to SYD 2 days ago! as a singaporean, i must say that i felt that QR service was better than the past 4 times i took SQ this year. Great to see a long haul QR video that i relate to :)

The A350-1000 is marvel. Flew one from Doha to Dulles and I was really impressed. It's significantly quieter than it's competition and the leg room is grdat too.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I flew on my first A350, from Finnair. Loved the aircraft. The A380 is next on my list.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I also flew on Finnair’s 350, what a beast! I hope you get to go on the A380 soon, but it doesn’t feel as powerful as the mighty A350. It’s silent!

[@emashee9881]

Nice video as always ! I was a former A350-900/1000 cabin crew, I'm almost certain that the "landing gear ding" is automatic, not like the seatbelt sign "recycling" after take-off. In my airline we were warned by a PA and the ding about the imminent landing !

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey, thanks for writing! yes the ding is automatic on gear retraction and deployment on most Airbus planes. The recycling of the seatbelt sign some airlines do regardless of the landing gear deployment. QR is one of them. Emirates for example make a PA saying “prepare for landing”. Thanks for the info!

[@Flywithdevinio]

And that’s exactly why I don’t want to fly for a Middle East carrier. Their rest times are ridiculous. I heard many stories from flight attendant and pilots friends, who are flying for QR, EK and EY with hard working days and short layovers. In America and Europe we have laws which make sure we will have enough rest. 24 hours at SFO from AMS? Never going to happen. At least 48, but sometimes 5 days as well. And afterwards enough rest at home. And less flight time as well. Big s/o to my aviation family members from QR, EK and EY for all their hard work. However! Lovely trip report! One of the better channels in my opinion. As senior CA I can learn a lot from trip reports and learn about passenger wishes to make their flights unforgettable. Hope to see you once on board at KLM on a flight I’m working on. Greetings from the Netherlands! 💙

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey Devinio, thanks for writing again!! This is an interesting subject that I’ve discussed many times, specially with Dutch people as I always get questioned about the Dubai lifestyle and “how I deal with the heat and if I am aware how bad this is for my son”, amongst some comments. First of all, there is no such thing as real legalities in the USA. Crew members can fly up to 180 hours if they want to, with no minimum off or leave. Check it out, I know it first hand. So, as a quick intro, I am half Dutch and have direct family members working for KLM. I live in Dubai and know a very large amount of people in aviation. I’ve dated an Etihad purser for around 3 years and I know tons of people in Emirates. What all know is that yes, QR has some very strict conditions and tough working hours. But the pay is great. So out of all ME carriers it is the least popular. Emirates pays crew insanely good. Far beyond any western airline. The official pay is not even close to the final that they get. Let’s say, besides the salary they get a very high live out allowance. I live in a middle class villa community in Dubai and it is packed with Emirates crew who get the entire thing paid for and even keep the extra to pay for the bills, maid, schooling, etc. I am currently having a beer with an EK A380 F/O and a Purser and his first class crew wife and your comment got the conversation going. Their layover in US is always 48 hours except for some of the East Coast destinations where it is 24-36. Yes, they fly anything from 70 hours to 100 hours during the busy peak season, but get paid over 3 times more of what they got back home at their previous airlines. The F/O tells me that in Europe he would do 3-4 flights a day, minimum rest between short haul flights, 12 hour layovers, which never happens in the UAE. So, similar flying hours, but many more flights and 3-4 times less pay. That is without counting the live out allowance and other bonuses and profit shares. And it’s all tax free! The only hard thing here is that it can get very lonely if you don’t have a proper group of friends or family. But that’s the life of any expat so it could happen anywhere. So I defend the Middle Eastern companies as what they sell is a lifestyle, just like anything in Dubai. You may like it or not. Thousands and thousands continue to apply from many Euro flag carriers in search for a more stable life, higher quality lifestyle and economical stability. 3 times the pay for 20% more work, why not? But it all depends on the person! Anyway, thanks again and sorry for my long reply. I am obviously one of those that is a happy expat who believes this is the place where dreams come true, and sadly not home in Spain or NL. I like how you do your research by watching video’s in order to serve people better! That is so cool! In my opinion, KLM’s strength lies in its people. That “blue blood” feeling is something you don’t see anywhere else in the world. Employees take pride in their company. And dedicated people like you are in full control to make it one of the best! Have a nice one and I wish you many happy flights!

[@Flywithdevinio]

Thanks for your reply! I can imagine, living inside UAE is an incredible way of life! I know they pay good amounts of money, however in Holland there is an amount reserved for us when we will retire. It’s because of law as well. And as you do, we know a lot of FA’s as well, working in UAE, one big aviation family hahaha! But when you’re working for EK for example, you have to collect your own money for your retirement, so that’s also one of the reasons why they earn more. I really appreciate your reply and looking forward for your next movies! About our blue hart, it’s something unbelievable! And I don’t want to be bad to UAE, because I love these airlines/ service as well. We’ve visited Dubai last May and really enjoyed it. Looking forward for our next visits. It was our first time, stafftravel with EK. Their kindness and smoothness inside airport (special staff check-in) is amazing! I will never ever say something bad about our beautiful aviation family. It’s not work, it’s a lifestyle. Once again, thank you and have a good night!

Great Vlog alex, I would be stressed out on a 15 hour flight😅. My longest flight was 5 hours a long and they passed so slowly. Qatar airways is on my bucket list and so is the A350 the pinnacle of modern aviation as I like to call it.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Time goes super slow on these long flights. Even when you sleep for 6 hours sometimes you still have another 8-10 to go. The A380, A350 and B787 are at the very top of the pinnacle of modern aviation and I admire these machines. Just that the B787 can be terribly uncomfortable in economy.. 😬 Thanks for writing Ali!

Fantastic video! I think EK's A380 Economy Class is better. I have noticed that QR frequently parks planes on remote stands in contrary to EK. I think Emirates should really relaunch Dubai-Doha flights as they will be very profitable. What are we getting for the next video?

[@ajitgeorgekuruvilla7384]

That was an excellent video and the first of yours I’ve seen. Someone commented on definitively booking an A 350 (or any other particular aircraft for that matter). Airlines often change the equipment originally stated and Qatar Airways is no stranger to that practice. That means you may end up flying a completely different aircraft than what you were hoping to. I’m so curious: how do you identify all the aircraft you pass, especially those in the distance at altitude?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot for the great comment! The changing the aircraft at QR is true, the other day I broke my record when I was flying my family to Dubai: from A350-1000 to A330-300, to B777-200LR all in less then 6 hours! Not only can you fly a different aircraft type but also different cabin, even if it’s the same aircraft. An A350-900 with Qsuites suddenly swapped to one without. Anyway, the risk there! I know the flights thanks to live plane tracking apps, like flight radar 😜

[@elliott7268]

Just a note at 7:30. The landing gear pin, or bypass pin as we call it doesn't stop the gear from retracting on ground. There are sensors in the landing gear itself that stop retraction on ground. The pin is to bypass the nose wheel steering from the flight deck. Would be bad if I accidentally bumped the tiller (knob to the side of the side stick used to steer the nose wheel for taxi) during pushback. The pin disconnects my control of the nose wheel. Great video as always. 8:25 Checking our flight controls before takeoff as mandated by our checklists and SOPs has saved me more than once haha. Always check your flight controls! Ps. Don't let the nice lounge fool you into flying BA again, they are still stuck 20 years in the past 😂

Thanks Itai! More important than the 350$ is the amount of miles I get from it, which equals to a free upgrade to Business on most of the medium haul flights or even close to a free flight anywhere in Europe from Dubai. So imagine how cool! I wish to take the A35K of BA soon too but it stopped flying to Dubai, perhaps I can check it out from TLV. See you around!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

EK will give you more. Quality wise it was both kind of the same.

[@sayantanguha1708]

Love u r videos. So informative and high quality vids. Hope for more to come.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Much more on the way! Thanks for writing, keep enjoying! 😃

[@colinrenfrew48]

Great video, and a quality airline for service.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I agree Colin, specially good for the 350 bucks I paid ❤️

[@deepalperera4592]

Excellent flight video and great camera work. QR cabin crew has few issues as per social media postings. Wonder if EK and other airlines have only 24hr layover in long haul destinations??? Expecting many more trip reports from you

[@pinkfairy3652]

Hi Alex, I hope you are well. Can you make a video of a flight on the Qatar Airways Airbus A330-200 to Dhaka from Doha?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I don’t really like their A330’s 😢 You’ve got a video here on an A330-300 from Cairo to Doha, it looks exactly the same. I hope to visit Dhaka soon!

[@pinkfairy3652]

I have already watched the video trip of the Airbus A330-300 from Cairo to Doha ages. It’s ok. Well can you do Turkish, Singapore, Thai or any other airlines?

[@pinkfairy3652]

Or Emirates?

[@sidharthande9786]

28:52 passengers can wait 15 hours in plane, but why can't they wait till the plane gets to the gate after landing. If you listen carefully to the sound, you will find out that a FA is asking someone to sit down when they are getting up.

[@clavinrebeiro1304]

As always awesome content ❤ may I know how you Track airplanes in air😂😅

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot!!! I track them with live plane trackers, such as flightaware or flightradar24.

[@Fazal6474]

Hey The Layover aviation😃, I just Wana know how do you spot planes by knowing the exact information? Hoping to get a answer 😀

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey there! I use live plane tracking apps and radars 😊

[@EC4U2C_Studioz]

In most Qatar Airways flight options, first class is not even an option. At least that video should be remindful to rename the airline’s first-class to premium business class.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

True. I found such an insanely good offer the other day but again on QR’s First Class and I kind of had to let it slip as I don’t want this headache to Sydney..

[@percismehta8959]

A fifteen hr hop in mid-air cd b tiring. I hv no experience of such kind but my gut feeling tells me so.

[@shofiaarul5094]

Qatar Airways Airbus A350-100s is the Best

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Love it!

[@babitashukla1957]

Pls try AIR INDIA DEL-SFO or JFK in B777-300LR once

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I’ll try at some point but not in the very near future as I’m busy up to November..

[@Funkids123]

Can you please in the next video post from Dubai to Tokyo Emirates A380

[@asp_shadows2nd900]

Funny how the seat 31A offers the best wing view on the Airbus A350-1000 and the Boeing 777-300ER 😃

[@TheLayoverAviation]

haha! 69A on the EK A380. It all depends on the aircraft configuration of the airline, but this is a coincidence! Thanks for brining it up!

[@brian402]

Have not flown on the Airbus A350 nor the A380 long haul yet to date,but would love to someday though!.,the longest flight I have from flown on was Christchurch in New Zealand to London via Singapore on a Boeing 747-400 on Singapore Airlines.Stop over of 3 hours in Singapore,& onto another 747-400 to London.,total in air time of 24 hours approx in economy👍

[@Wolfysmusic8880]

Can you please tell me how can you identify the aircraft and flight numbers to where or from where?

[@TripandTravels]

I am flying this route on business class next month. What do you recommend the Air France lounge or BA lounge at SFO?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

BA! The AF one was under renovation when I went and it was horrible. Perhaps it’s open now. But the BA one was quality!!

[@TripandTravels]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you! that charles heidsieck at BA lounge was absolutely spot on 😃

[@nigeljohnson8995]

The food is usually good on Qatar Airline, mostly chicken and rice, not complaining cos they do it well, and the deserts are nice.

[@widget787]

33:08 probably they were short of staff and had to leave seats open due to not enough F/As.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I don’t think so.. Specially not on flights to Dubai, as it’s an important destination and they’ll try to take as many passengers as possible from EK..

[@WerkeneshNurga]

I am using the a350 to London Heathrow at 2:45 with qatar airways

[@sweetfairyish]

Thank you . Great review as usual 👍Do you prefer Qatar Airways or Emirates please ?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Myself I prefer Emirates most of the times as it feels young and fun while QR is very professional and more serious. But I don’t mind flying QR at all as it’s a solid product.

[@sweetfairyish]

@@TheLayoverAviation Thank you . I have not yet flow Qatar Airways so I prefer Emirates too .

[@RalphAbney-s3x]

A380 hands down

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Agree 👏

[@goutamraoshab3777]

Can you choose san Francisco to Mumbai by ex-delta b777-200lr and soon air india including 9 b777-300er in its fleet

[@TheLayoverAviation]

I live in Dubai so that’s very far away! I hope to try some day..

[@adirox7]

If you dont mind me asking.. what exactly do you do for work.. that requires you to travel so much and that too long haul ? And why did the crew told you to lower your window blinds ?
