Simon always review First and Business while David and Felix are Business and Economy (sometimes first class)

[@otzi1]

Simon is older and probably richer

[@rezaalan3991]

Simon: Flying luxury on First and Business. David: Flying on all classes, always go to well-known countries, and flying with some well-known airlines (sometimes unexpected). Felix: Same as David, but he always flying with unexpected airlines to unexpected countries.

I contrast this report with a video of an Etihad Economy trip which had minimal food and minimal service for a pair of long flights (totaling 24+ hours). And here it is noted that the service wasn't up to standard. I find it curious that Etihad offers a shower for free (which is horrendously expensive to transport on a plane) and still charges First Class for wifi - which is relatively inexpensive to provide.

[@flywithus7676]

The best airline I had seen ever I can't believe that is shower on the plane and 2 beds That is so crasy

[@LT81baller]

I like that we at least get all three class experiences depending on who's flying. It's not just First/Biz class(looking at you Sam Chui) where it seems Economy class just seems invisible.

[@Frojenfx1080]

I love your review most. No talking, no self showing much. Just consentrating on what u hv to do.👍👍

[@singhaviationn]

Love the variety on your channel, from Ryanair to Etihad First class!

[@aakashkarajgikar9384]

10:00 I have seen something similar in Emirates Airlines. The first class middle seats join together, and there is a partition to separate the two seats, which doesn't get used until and unless you are sitting next to a stranger. And spoiler alert! Emirates Airbus A380 can deal with long haul travel!! ONLY Emirates can fly their A380s to North America is what I have heard, specifically, to LAX!

[@JBM425]

I must have missed something. At the end, Simon mentioned a problem with a "lack of coordinated service." There was no indication of any of that from him during the flight. I would love to know what the actual problems were that he was referring to.

[@Atleast37ninjas]

I'm guessing this was filmed either during or before 2003 because I saw a concorde

[@craigwillis3372]

Have done a flight on A380 first class from Melbourne and it is the BEST 1st Class on offer! Also flew from Abu Dhabi to Paris on 777 in First Class and it was also exceptional! The service is one of the best I have ever come across and the 1st Class experience is fantastic along with the crew!

[@SpandanDas]

Simon...back at another first class tripreport💕

[@randomyoutubevideos3503]

Also the Aeromobile air system might be expensive for you to use so just make sure you know the rates for your provider or wait for a text message to come on your phone when your inflight on the network.

Fantastic. Just fantastic! Thank you so much, I bet it was such a surreal experience. One recommendation, try to do less videos on the lounge and airport and focus more on the plane itself like the seat and such. Thanks yet again.

Absolutely Sensational Trip Report mate! That seat is crazy, like it is very big and so much space! Etihad Airways has a really good product but based off of Dan Nonstop, the crew aren't very friendly. Liked

[@littleraeofsunshine]

Can confirm it depends who you get lol

[@FlyersAviation]

@@littleraeofsunshine That is true. Got a good crew on American meanwhile my United return flight weren't the best

[@littleraeofsunshine]

@@FlyersAviation Some of my fellow crew at Etihad were the best human beings on the planet and treated every guest that way. Watching others shouting at passengers (or our managers) always made me cringe--and yes, they all got in trouble for that.

Compliment: great video Favorite video moment(s):the pick up service, the lounge, the window view of A380, all that food and the shower and other apartment commodities Overall Rating: 9/10 Airlines that still need a tripreport: * EZ Air * Divi Divi Air * Winair

[@triki1988]

I know those engines are suposed to be silent but...that was a ridiculously silent take off.

[@chrisjones9898]

Like the videos, but I m not interested in opinions about service quality, particularly in F.

[@QuarioQuario54321]

If I were to control it, I’d make it so that Monday’s video was David, Wednesday’s video was Felix, and Friday’s video was Simon’s. And maybe one of you three random you when it’s another day.

[@aakashkarajgikar9384]

3:25 It only is so comfy if these Etihad Airways can deal with, what we call, "Long haul travel", meaning, I heard it only can go to New York in the USA, but I also wish that this type of Etihad Airway goes to Los Angeles.

[@airlines.world1234]

Good video thanks for this flight you are the best trip reporter

[@jldl8019]

Wow the first class is good but its too expensive maybe in the future if I have enough money I can try it

[@conchitagranillo3462]

In your opinion which First class do you think is better ? Between EMIRATES or ETIHAD

[@linuxaa466]

Conchita Granillo style and look wise and meal wise ETIHAD but the rest EMIRATES

[@TakagiYumiTallTree]

Simply avivation is not being simple

[@BlueAcidball]

Now this. This is how to enjoy the A380

[@aakashkarajgikar9384]

15:17 Yes, I am definitely looking forward to flying Etihad in the future, in first class, in the Airbus A380. I want to ask if my route can be longer than what it is, I want to be in that first class for at least 12 hours. Is there a way? By the way, I am sorry if I am repeatedly talking about making it a long haul travel, but that is how desperate I am about being in first class for a long time, and not even this short of a flight.

[@goytabr]

I'd seen another review of Etihad's first-class suites and the guy also complained of the crew. In his case, it was much worse: he was very harshly reprimanded for filming on board and the crew refused to serve him afterwards. Not even a glass of water. This is not how to treat a passenger who paid BIG bucks for that. Also, scrimping by making the passenger pay for WiFi in first class is ridiculous. No doubt it's still an outstanding luxury product, but these flaws are unacceptable for such a product.

[@TigersTimelessTreasures]

The WiFi was exactly what I thought. Thousands of buck for the ticket and they want another 20 for WiFi, that needs to be included!!!

[@simply_aviation]

Goytá F. Villela Jr. I Also got these issues during my outbound flight to Abu Dhabi. Thats why I only have videos of the returnflight ro review. The Inflight manager told me I need approval from Etihad HQ in Abu Dhabi...... //Simon

What??? A trip report by Simon??? Haven't seen one of those in a while.

Thing is with 1 st class it’s to posh for me 😅 and also I couldn’t as much food as they serve you and I can’t stand most salads, but everything else is incredible
