Regarding the startup, I was sitting right next to the engine on Emirates 777, loved when that GE monster began to spool up!! :-)) As for the landing at DXB, late night is a very busy period in Dubai, lot's of other flights lined up behind for landing so the tower often wants everyone to vacate the runway as soon as possible which is why the pilots have to make a short-field landing and leave the runway as soon as they can

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey Gergö, you’re right about the late night landings, but it wasn’t late night! It was around 21:30 and the rush hour starts around 23:00. As you can see there was no rush to vacate the runway early so we vacated almost at the end. That’s why it surprised me. If it was during busy timings to vacate early I would have suspected so. Thanks for the insight!

@@TheLayoverAviation Hi :) just to clarify it was most definitely a slice of a carrot cake, which is sort of a traditional cake from the canton Argovia. Usually they top it off with mini carrot shaped almond paste (or Marzipan in German). The chocolate they offer in all SWISS flights is fantastic. Sadly I'm not much of a cheese person though I'm swiss born and bred but if I'd like a cheese of choice it would be Gruyère.

[@jaivora423]

A thought or two to what u mentioned just as the aircraft landed : Chances are that using the brakes results in more wear n tear than deploying reverse thrust. Plus the ambient temp in Dubai, even during the nights can b high so the brakes will take longer to cool so better to go light on them specially with such a long runway . Perhaps ?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks a lot for the comment! There is a lot of sense in what you say, but I still don’t think so. The temperature was fine, in the 20’s and the aircraft would remain on ground for over 5 hours. B777 brakes take around 60-90 min to cool (The time is actually calculated on the pilot tablet). The A380 and A350 will show you how long it will take for brakes to cool. Really wish I knew, cause I can’t say they did it “just because they wanted to”, but that’s what I suspect. With Swiss I always get full reverse in Dubai. I rarely do with anyone else, and I fly into Dubai 1-2 times a week.. See you around!

And also I don’t really like sharing prices when I find it’s expensive. I’m very happy to show when it’s very low though, as in my Ryanair video😂.

[@sandroflury2818]

Beautiful trip-report! I also like your comments and informations in the subtitles very much. A small correction regarding the info @10:46: the four official languages in Switzerland are (Swiss-)German, French, Italian and „Rätoromanisch“ (don’t know the translation in English: Rhaeto-Romanic maybe?). But the last one is spoken by so few that it wouldn‘t make sense to offer it as an option for the IFE 😂. But you can see it @15:21 on the meal: „Enjoy your meal“ in English followed by our four official languages 🙂. All the best to you!

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Thanks for the comment and the info! I find it so incredibly interesting all these languages in Switzerland. What a country! If a child is born there and manages to learn all these languages, besides English ouf course, that’s such a benefit for the future! Would love to move there after Dubai, but while I speak French and understand Italian and German well, my wife does not not at all😅. Thanks again for watching!

5h 20m wow! With the A330 it takes longer, not?

[@TheLayoverAviation]

It really depends on the winds, which I guess was the case this time. The B777-300ER does fly faster though but on such a “short flight” it might only mean a 5 minute difference. On longer flights you might notice. The B777-300ER typically flies between M 0.82 to 0.85 and the A330 M 0.79 to 0.82. Thanks for watching!

Awesome video! However, at 8:28, you say "the power comes back". Not sure that is entirely accurate. Once TO power is set, it's set until their noise abatement procedures allow them to derate at which point the aircraft accelerates (due the noise attitude decreasing) and the flaps being retracted.

At 5:40 bro your information is wrong I always see rudder being at right side I travel with emirates after every 2-3 months rudders always at the right and that’s because of parking brakes when pilot apply parking brakes at airport that causes the rudder to move it’s position if I’m right but no hate always love your content❤️😍🥰

I have been on Swiss airlines once to visit Switzerland where my aunt lives and I will never fly with them again. The service was absolutely terrible for example, there was a cabin crew handing out food and when he came to me I asked him if they had the vegetarian option he said it ran out then I said really? Do you have anything without meat/chicken and his reply was “we do not have ANY more vegetarian options and you’re gonna have to cope with that.” Seriously? I asked him in a kind way and that’s the response I get? Second example I wanted to use the bathroom while he was handing out drinks to the passengers I stood up and there was clearly a big amount of space next to his cart I asked could I please go through to reach the bathroom? He literally shouted SIT DOWN IMMEDIATELY SIT SIT and the seatbelt sign wasn’t even on? There was a CLEAR amount of space next to him which I know I could go through. Final example when the flight was finally over the same guy was standing next to the door saying goodbye to everyone and instead of being kind and at least saying goodbye he rolled his eyes at me. That was the worst flight I have ever experienced and I hope that I never have to go on that airline ever again.

[@nikolauswolff5791]

You are right when you say that Swiss is positioned as the premium brand within the Lufthansa group. That's sad enough. I've flewn with them several times from TXL ( Berlin ) via Kloten to LAX & BKK. Their crews are typically European. Rather profesional than warm hearted and friendly. The space in their 773 is ridiculous. You have more space in a chicken cage. I payed 100,- € for an ordinary seat ( 32 K ) at the aisle. No extra space for that money. There are 10 seats in one row and when they all eat it's tighter than in a prison cell. Their First & Business are really superb and state of the art, but Eco is bad. So it depends from your point of view and travel class.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

Hey again Nikolaus! So I agree that I it felt a little tight but then again the flight was 100% full. I found it not perfect but not bad either. I was lucky not to have a sh*t neighboor who took my armrest or foot space, so despite being on a window seat I felt ok. But I can perfectly imagine it becoming frustrating for some, specially if you pay 100€. That’s a lot. Swiss numbers! And you’re correct about the crew. I only tried First and yes, it was great. Business never tried it because it just does not wow me. It looks so low and compact, I just have countless other preferences before paying for that. I might be wrong. And about the premium touch in the LH group, I guess it’s mostly the small details, such as more beverage, meal choices & quantity. But then it all depends on who delivers you the service. I still have ti publish my mega Lufthansa flight on a B747-400. Boy was the crew fun and helping me to film! See you!

How much did you pay to fly Swiss to Dubai? I am curious.

[@TheLayoverAviation]

You love the prices! I can’t remember anymore but it came as a package from Belgrade to Dubai, it costed around 400-500 Euro perhaps.

😅😂 I see, that's expensive.
