TRIP REPORT | 6,5 hours on a low-cost 737?! | Transavia Boeing 737-800 | Amsterdam - Dubai

[@isaacflyaway]

Great review! Flying on a 737 on a 6 hours flight sounds pretty painful 😂

[@DiooonnYT]

i have flown from New York to dublin with an a320 neo. no clue how much the space difference is but was a good flight (this one had screens though)

[@VaSabi_RUS]

Wonderful review, thank you!

[@jsaviation]

Thanks!

[@ZRHTrainspotter]

Amazing trip report! Though likely i would never take this flight, way too long for bench comfort 😂

[@jsaviation]

Thanks! Yeah it was long, but not as bad as I expected😅

[@chris1978nl]

An honest review for a low-cost carrier and flight. The price in combination with the service is quite good with Transavia. No frills, they are good with what they do. 4 out of 5 stars is pretty good. My experiences with Transavia are similar.

[@jsaviation]

Good to hear! Transavia definitely is one of the better low cost carriers out there

[@ZwaanAfghan]

nice review. a tip for next time, use background for your captions so it could be easily readable.

[@jsaviation]

Thanks! I’ll keep it in mind!

[@TC.C]

Love the video! No complaining about bad services ! Nice format!

[@jsaviation]

Thank you!!

[@Lucaser2424]

in 2 months I'll fly with Transavia to the canary islands! low costs are horrible! Nice video BTW

[@jsaviation]

Thanks!! I feel like Transavia is one of the better ones though

[@wedwardes]

By contrast last week I flew Iberia from Madrid to London on an A350. It is configured 3/3/3 in Economy

A baby !!!!!!! 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱

[@Suursaadik]

Goed video! 👍

[@usaidhello]

Ik vraag me dus echt af waarom er op de terugweg een tussenstop gedaan word door Transavia. Heeft dat dan met de jetstream te maken? Waarbij je in oostelijke richting profijt hebt en in westelijke richting juist niet?

[@jsaviation]

Ja, door tegenwind op de terugweg. Soms slaan ze die tussenstop wel over, dat was bij ons ook het geval. Geen idee waarom, misschien minder tegenwind of omdat de vlucht niet helemaal vol zat. Ze konden dit bij pushback echt pas vertellen, dus het lijkt me dat ze dit eerder zouden weten als het allemaal alleen vanwege de wind is.

[@VeniVidiAjax]

Volgens mij heeft het te maken met dat warme lucht ‘dikker’ is waardoor er meer lift nodig is. Men moet dus meer vermogen genereren voor een langere tijd. Naar het westen vliegen duurt inderdaad wat langer. Dus dat bij elkaar zal wel voor een tussenstop zorgen.

[@edwardpk888]

I have been on Transavia to canary island 0n 737 for 4.5 hours. I will die on a 6.5 hours flight. No screen,no entertainment,no food unless paid for,tight narrow seats. Guarantee thrombosis.Even on emirates economy is killing but budget airline. You must be desperate unless it costs 100 euros and not 500 euros.

[@RealConstructor]

If there isn’t a market for this destination, it will disappear rapidly. And I know the existence of books are unknown for many (young) people, but do try this ancient entertainment for once. It can make a 6.5 hour flight doable.

[@jsaviation]

Yeah, it’s very long on a 737 but as long as you make sure you’ve got enough to do during the flight it really isn’t as bad. One of the bigger downsides indeed is that food isn’t free, but you still save hundreds of euros. We paid around €300 for this flight, while KLM and Emirates were both way above €800 Turns out there’s quite a market for this route since it has been around for quite some years and the flights are full most of the time :)

[@wezzel2806]

@@jsaviation € 300 is geen slechte prijs. Hoe zit het met de baggage? Zit dat in de prijs of had je alleen handbagage? Ik ben zelf ook wel eens naar Dubai gevlogen. Viel me toen ook al op dat KLM en Emirates aan de hoge kant zaten en op zeer onhandige tijden (georienteerd op 's nachts overstappen). Uiteindelijk voor 500 euro met Austrian heen en Lufthansa terug gevlogen. Later wel met Emirates gevlogen op deze route, maar dan altijd met een overstap richting Zuid-Oost Azië. Vreemd genoeg waren die tickets een stuk goedkoper als wanneer je uitstapte in Dubai.

[@mike_r4150]

You get what you pay for. Emirates economy is fine and I'm very big. You just act like a spoiled snob.

[@mike_r4150]

@@wezzel2806 Ik heb uitgerekend dat je +/- 300 euro duurder uit bent (retour) met Emirates (wel vanaf Dusseldorf) Voordeel is daar dat je dus geen tussenstop hebt op de terugweg, meer comfort, maaltijden + dranken inclusief en je kunt 7KG handbagage mee aan boord nemen en krijgt 5 kilo meer ruimbagage (25 kilo in totaal). Het aanbod van Transavia lijkt goedkoop maar dat is het in mijn beleving niet echt.

[@freddielaker2]

That long on a 737? are you mad???? A380 all the way for me....

[@jsaviation]

It’s a flight that I’ve been curious to try for quite long. Yes it was very long but it wasn’t that bad at all actually as long as you have enough to do

[@paintinout3709]

Never not even for free

[@marlou3333]

I agree. Dubai is shit.

[@Lord-Wolfie]

Horrible. You need to put your legs in the overheadbins. 🤢🤮 NEVER FLY LOWCOST!!!

[@AviatorMinion]

what wrong with it?, Its has a low price for to get somewhere isn't that just great? For saving money to spend on vacation destination itself or maybe just to travel more frequently by using a different company can really seal the deal to fly Low-Cost
