This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

    Love this "whale bird " and have been lucky enough to fly in BC out to NZ. to get off that plane after a solid nights sleep was bliss.Agree with you on how quiet it is on take off and landing cosidering the tonnage that its carrying.The service from the crew on all journeys was on point as was the food. Those warm nuts with the champagne and the mezza plate was delicious.All wines I sampled were superb.The only disappointment for me was the BC lounge in DXB - massively busy - in hindsight maybe i was unlucky but if those big birds come in all at similar times....the result is massive lines at the restos which I didn't expect. Will continue flying Emirates as Im racking up points but when i flew SingAir to South East Asia earlier year they were pretty impressive too.Just discovered your channel...Im in scrolling mode .

    I find EVA Air's dreamliner seats to be the most comfortable in economy class, closely followed by EK due to its spacious A380 cabin and incomparably better entertainment. However, during a recent flight with EK, I encountered an issue where my seat didn't stay reclined as it should. It would move with me if I didn't apply constant pressure, and could slide back upright. The crew took a look, disassembling my seat in the blink of an eye, but they couldn't resolve the problem in the air, and showed me the only other seat empty on board, a middle seat towards the back. Instead of moving, I tried playing around with the button, gave up and managed to sleep, but I felt a bit let down that the crew didn't offer any compensation or apology for the inconvenience, especially since the seat and seatback started sliding apart at the joint of the structure, exposing an inch of the metal which I noticed after landing. Would you think like me or is this an overreaction?

I hope you will visit Dhaka, Bangladesh next year when the new terminal opens and perhaps try Biman Bangladesh Airlines. I expected Dhaka to be included in your kangaroo route series but anyways next year you will have a nice experience when the new terminal opens.

Although you try to pass these bad false informations under the table, but it is obvious for people who see you content since long time and hear every word you say. You telling your subscribers you are non biased, so stay unbiased. Your channel is to review and give opinion about airlines and airports, not the people or countries.

    Good review. Gotta love the A380. 😍 Lucky you’re not Australian or your channel would be called The Thong Traveller, which obviously has a completely different meaning for most audiences. 🤣 Whereas flip-flop in Australia generally refers to someone who keeps changing their mind. 🩴 🤔
