FLYING DURING A P*NDEMIC (18 JUL 2020) Jet2 B737 800 Manchester Antalya G GDFS
Hi Everyone!
Welcome back to channel today. In today's video I'm reviewing Jet2's Boeing 737-800 on my way to Antalya in Turkey. My flight took place on the 18th July 2020, just three days after Jet2 restarted it's operations after Lockdown in England. After quarantine free travel was permitted between the UK and Turkey, and Jet2's announcement that they'd restart flying, we had a scare. I found out on facebook that our hotel had not reopened. We contacted Jet2 and they stated that the hotel was open as normal, so we planned ahead and got our suitcases ready. However, just five days before travel we were told that our hotel was indeed shut by Jet2 and that our holiday had been cancelled, and we'd receive a full refund. Luckily, we already had a plan in place, and we asked to move hotel over the phone, and the holiday was back on!
We left our home in Liverpool around 13:00, and arrived at Manchester airport around 40 minutes later, where we were quickly processed through the Check in and Security within 20 minutes. We went through the shops, of which most were open, but only accepting card payment. We boarded around 50 minutes prior to departure in small socially distanced groups. At 16:10 we pushed back from Gate 10 at a rainy Manchester Airport, and took to the skies. Once in the air the cabin crew commenced their service. Around 90 minutes from Antalya, as the cabin crew were beginning to offer their duty free service, a drunk passenger started an argument with other passengers in the row behind. Thankfully it wasn't too bad, and the Cabin crew dealt with the passengers very well. We arrived into Antalya on time at 22:30, and we arrived at our hotel the Eftalia Ocean Resort in Alanya just after midnight.

HOB IN THE ROOM? Avra Beach Resort, Ixia area, Rhodes I Standard Family Room
Переглядів 7 тис.4 роки тому
Hi Guys. Welcome back to the Channel. Today I'm showing a room tour of our Standard Family Room at Avra Beach Resort in Rhodes, where we stayed last year. We liked the room and enjoyed our stay at the resort. However, the room was designed weirdly, with a hob to your right on entrance to the room, and light switches on shelves. I'm sorry for the room looking a bit untidy in the video. I filmed ...
AN HOUR ON THE TARMAC! I Thomas Cook Airlines I Airbus A321 I Manchester Rhodes

Hello Everyone, Welcome Back to Peter Melia Travel This time, I take you onboard Thomas Cook's Airbus A321. The aircraft used on all of their Short Haul Flights, departing the UK. Our Journey begins at Manchester Airport. Check in took around 10 minutes. Security was a complete disaster, so many disorganised passengers. We then had a nice meal at Giraffe, before heading to the gate for our flig...

Hi Everyone, Thanks for joining me as I take you on my journey from Manchester to Cancun, on the TUI 787 Dreamliner! MUSIC: Raven & Kreyn - Muffin [NCS Release]. ua-cam.com/video/rc5SMO5bvx0/v-deo.html. Raven & Kreyn - Bubble [NCS Release]. ua-cam.com/video/kF6lrNkC9bo/v-deo.html
TUI Airways I Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner I G-TUIF I Departure from Cancun Airport
Переглядів 6595 років тому
This is our departure from Cancun onboard a TUI Airways Boeing 787-8 Dreamliner, G-TUIF, a 4 year old aircraft. We had a slightly late departure from Cancun, taking off around 5pm local time. Overall, we had a pleasant flight back to Manchester on the TUI 787. Thank you for watching.
What seat number was you in ?
What is the 787-325 ? Is it a 787-9 dreamliner ? It’s a 3-3-3 configuration? Flying on this in June
It’s a 787-8 in the short haul all economy configuration
I love TUI never had any problems and I've done long haul the service was excellent
What were your seat numbers please ?
22A
@@petermelia3384 Many Thanks 👍
Hi what seats were they
22A
Would you recommend upgrading to premium seats or is it simply not worth it already booked the extra leg room ones
I’ve never flown the premium, so I don’t know what the experience is like. The economy seat is completely fine for a long haul flight. I assume premium must be better than the economy experience. I’d imagine it’s a bigger seat with a better meal, and I think you get an amenity kit in premium.
Grate video I’m flying with Jet2 from Manchester to Antalya later this year (2022) keep up with the vlogging videos 👍
Amazing video! Very informative, Thankyou 😅
Hope you’re still vlogging ✈️
we had the exact same room bro XD
What seat number is this
18A just behind the emergency exit row.
The 🕳
Fantastic video, very informative. I’ll be flying on the Dreamliner from Newcastle to cancun next august and wanted to see what it’s like
What row did you sit in? Which row would you recommend?
We were sat in row 22. The view was decent from the seat. But I’d say sit a bit further back to get the best view.
Did you fly in premium or was this just standard? I don’t know if we get the screens on our flight or would need premium to get these ...
It was standard Economy. You get screens on all TUI long haul flights both in Economy and Premium.
i went on this exact trip back in july of 2019 and this video gave me some great memories. Love the vid
Nice video 👍
My understanding is that this specific B787 has the highest number of hours flown of any B787
Yes. I went to the cockpit after arrival in Cancun and I asked the pilot about TUIA being the first 787 in TUIs fleet. He went on to say that it had completed the most hours of all worldwide 787s. It makes sense considering the amount of hours TUI gets out of its fleet!
@@petermelia3384 Yes, unfortunately all grounded right now!
Great video. I still cannot belive they have gone. They were just the best, loved their A321's and their great crew. G-TCDC now flies for Air Transat as C-GTCY over in Canada...
Thanks Sam. I can’t believe it either, such a well established company. But I guess that they just fell behind the times. I’ve seen that DC now flies in Canada for Transat. This summer I’m off to Turkey with Jet2 and my return flight is on an ex Thomas Cook A321.
Nice, what month are you going? I think thsi virus is going to rock the travel industrty really badly. I have heard all the Jet2 A321's are currently on hold, so who knows what you might end up on. Last summer, I flew with TUI from Birmingham-Menorca in August. We got a leased A321 from Olympus Airways with their really friendly Greek Crew and a couple of cabin crew from TUI onboard to. The aircraft was ex Monarch and still had the Monarch seats inside! Did you see the Olympus A321's around last summer?
Hi Again. We were originally meant to fly outbound on an A330, but they’ve been returned to their lessor due to the COVID-19 pandemic. I’ve checked this morning and it’s still a 757 out and an A321 in. Hopefully we are still able to travel. Also I seen the Olympus A321 at Manchester last year, it looked nice in its hybrid livery.
Great Video Peter Melia, good luck with the channel.
I love the Dreamliner!! I used to only fly on the 737, 757, A320 etc and it was a very pleasant experience - it was good to have my own screen. The rows were a bit staggered though so I had to sit slightly behind my ten year old (across the aisle) and she was getting a bit upset because she can be a nervous flyer and had never been on a long haul aircraft. Because it was my first time on the 787, some of the noises were a bit alarming in my opinion, but to be fair I am used to smaller aircraft. The landing back at Manchester was so smooth though that I thought we were still hundreds of feet in the air!! I was sat in the middle of the plane on the aisle seat so couldn’t really see out of the window very well, but on the map we were going over Manchester. I was a bit like, “what??” But then I realise we landed. All together a great experience, I think this was definitely one of my favourite flights. The only thing I’ll say though is that I do prefer the descent on the 737 because on the Dreamliner it sort of felt like we were doing a nose dive at some points 😂. Also the flaps on the wings were a bit weird as they put them down when we had pretty much only just started descending. But I don’t know, maybe it’s just me being paranoid?? I was sat just in front of the toilet, so that kept making loud noises. Anyway (I’ll stop talking now lol), it was a really pleasant flight.
Hi Lilly. Thanks for taking time to write such a detailed comment. We also found the staggered seating config to be a bit annoying. Especially considering on the outbound flight my dad was basically sat on his own amongst a wedding party. My dad personally hated this flight, he wasn’t pleased about members of the wedding party leaning on his seat etc. Maybe next time the four of us will split into two on one side of the plane. In terms of the noises of the plane, I already knew what to expect as I’d watched tones of videos prior 😂.
That wouldn't have been the flaps coming down at such an early stage in the descent. Flaps can't be used above 20,000 feet at all, and rarely much above 5,000 feet. Also, the descent on the 787 is usually even more shallow than the 737 as it is much more aerodynamically smooth. Maybe there was a specific reason on your flight but it is rare. If you've any other questions about the 787 then please ask me, I've been flying them about 18 months now
Hashmal Dawn thank you so much! When the flaps came down we were probably nearly landing as I didn’t even know when we were about to hit the ground so I wouldn’t trust myself to know that either haha.
@@no-bn7xv Well I'm glad you like the 787, let's hope we can all get back in the air soon!
Hashmal Dawn yes, definitely!!
Nice video
Very informative! Great to have talking and explaining instead of music.
Nice vid
Thanks peter ! Been the highlight of my summer this🙏
great vlog this
Isn’t it!
yes it is very detailed
i agree guys
it’s just brilliant
Jess Mck great enthusiasm shown!
ITS FINALLY HERE! My flight review of Thomas Cook’s A321 is now up on UA-cam. Enjoy!
i know it’s a bit late😭 but how was your holiday to mexico, im going this summer and i’m going on the extra leg room seats on the dreamliner👍🏻
I'm goign to the dominican republic in 2 days and I'm nervous for the plane because I dont like taking off or landing . So I have a question, did your ears hurt when landing and taking off??
The Dreamliner is a very comfortable aircraft. If I can remember my ears didn’t really hurt on the flight. Because of the planes design with its mood lighting and lower cabin altitude you should feel more refreshed. Enjoy the Dominican!
Thankyou
@@oliviarance4656 How was your flight? Did yiu have any problems with your ears?
you should do more videos like this because this was a good video
I’ll try to. My fight to Rhodes video is going to be similar. But I’m going to try out a voiceover with some of my other future videos.
@@petermelia3384 ok thanks keep it up
What is your favourite airline and why?
Well I have to be honest, being young I haven’t flown many airlines. But out of the small amount I’ve flown, I’d say TUI. I’ve recently come back from a flight with Thomas Cook, and while that was good, I feel that TUI was marginally better.
✈✈💙💙
✈✈💙💙
Thanks but when I come back to Liverpool I’m going on easyJet
That’s brilliant I’m going to Tenerife in October with Ryanair people say Ryanair is bad but I think it’s actually okay
Apparently they're ok unless there's some kind of problem, then you're on your own. I'm sure you'll be fine though. Also I'm sure you know, but don't forget to print your boarding passes for both outbound and inbound. Apparently they charge £40 each if you don't. That's really awful! Have a great holiday!
Ryanair are the pits if theres any problems there NO customer service n they are good at leaving customers high n dry I wouldnt touch them with a barge pole
I just remembered your flights coming soon for July
Hi Jacob. I’m off to Rhodes on Saturday night with Thomas Cook. So I’ll try to upload it ASAP.
I’ve flew on the Dreamliner with Thomson 12 times!
When we flew back from Cancun last June with TUI (back to Manchester), one of the cabin crew offered us the opportunity to have a look in the cockpit after landing. Because we were keen to get home (and the fact we had jet lag like everyone else), we turned that opportunity away and I can only think of how regrettable that decision was. Decent plane, comfortable seats. Good meal service (except breakfast on the return; that sucked!).
Hi Sam. Going to the cockpit was a fantastic experience, deficiently consider going next time you fly. I do see your point in wanting to get off the plane though. I completely agree that the food on the return flight was poor in comparison to the the outbound. Thanks.
I found out that the food on the Return flights is loaded in Cancun. (TUI flies it’s inbound meals on its outbound flights on all other routes) that’s why the meal on the return leg from CUN is so bad.
Scouserrrr yes!
Made up I found this video cause I had no idea what to expect on a dreamliner, I'm going to Mexico in November on a dreamliner and was just a little anxious about it. So thank you!
Great video mate, can’t wait until 5 weeks now, will be making that flight from Edinburgh on 22nd June 👍🏽
Thanks. Have a good flight and trip. It’s great to see TUI offering more long haul routes from U.K. regional airports.
Hope you have a good day tomorrow
@@Ben-ex9dd awesome man I'm sure I will
5 to 42 subs wow
Hi Peter, great video. Sorry if this has already been asked but how did you go about getting a photo in the cockpit? Cheers
Hi. I told the crew member when boarding the plane that it was my first time flying on the Dreamliner, she told me to wait till everyone had disembarked in Cancun and then come to the cockpit.
Awesome! I'm flying on the 787 on Monday to Cancun and I'm a bit of a plane geek so will try that! Cheers!
TUI Cabin Crew here. Just ask one of the crew after landing when you are disembarking. We will never say no 🙂
@@sgtmacbook Oh sorry. I just realised you've already been!
No problem TT! 😊 I was allowed in the cockpit in Cancun and it was amazing!
Hello, I wonder if you can help me, how bad was the turbulence to Mexico. Please be honest. On a scale of 1-10 1 being you could hardly feel it and 10 being very bad. Thankyou
Hi Henry. The turbulence was a little rough on the flight, I’d say around 6 or 7. Nothing too uncomfortable though. Don’t worry about turbulence, planes are designed to cope with it.
Ok how long did It last?
Around 20 minutes.
Peter Melia Travel turbulence is fun 😂
I'm going on holiday tommorrow I have been waiting over a year Bulgaria here I come
I hope you had a good trip!
@@petermelia3384 the tommorrow is our last day and we are staying in the aqua park all day
Bulgaria is so nice!! Where did you go? And was it good?
I’m going on one and this helped to see how it is thx :)
This was very informative, going there in July so helped outa lot
Tui is the best airline ever in my opinion
TUI are definatly by far the best I did TUI Manchester to Cancun we went premier class worth every penny fabulous. We flew out on Miles Of Smiles and returned on Neil 787/800 seats row 7 AB
that are very good, i do love virgin atlantic though
I think you never flew with Singapore or Qatar airline. If you did, then they would be first class and TUI would be second class, far form being the "best" airline. In fact most asian airlines would be better then TUI.
Totally agree beats the others hands down
How much was the flight
Good vid peter
Great video dude! 👍
ToToPlanes. Thanks, glad you enjoyed.
Fantastic Video! I'm on the 787 with TUI from Birmingham in a few months!! I'm in Premium. There's been some discussion about G-TUIA's premium config. Did you see if it was a 2-3-2 or a 3-3-3 in Premium? Thanks
Hi Sam. Thanks for watching. The config is 2-3-2 in premium and 3-3-3 in economy. I did see the premium when we were getting off and it did look very nice. Have a good flight!
Very explained video. Thank you.
Thanks, that’s great to hear!
Ok peter are you only going to do videos every 6 months
Yes it will probably be something like that
When is your next video
Hi Jacob. I’m flying with Thomas Cook on their A321 to Rhodes in July. So I’ll hopefully be making a video then.
