Don't you check what aircraft you are flying before departure? its on your booking that you will be flying a 777 and not an A380 , so how can you be disappointed when you arrive at the plane is beyond me
im colombian and this is shameful. avianca went during covid from being the pride of the country to a national embarrassment in the swing of about two years. terrible what they've done to the airline, however great review!
Thank you. I’m sorry to hear this. I wonder if the service is better on their larger aircraft.
777’s are always fantastic
Nice video! Do you accept sponsorships?
Completely unoriginal. Right down to the "surprise" Cathay logo discovery. Boring.
is this the same as the Latam+ seats?
I do not believe so. I think LATAM plus refers to their premium economy product.
Avianca is the worst. They dont have business class just premium seats with Low Cost carrier service
They just add it back in a320s
Thank you for the honesty and consistency of your flight reviews. It is amazing how many long haul aircraft do not have individually controllable air vents, and how many of them are uncomfortably warm. The plane, the product, and the service were not up to what most would expect of Qatar Airways.
Thanks for watching!
Flew on business with them and they even charges me 60 bucks to check in my luggage so never again I only fly LATAM within Colombia
Wow. “Business class” doesn’t get you much.
Liked and Subscribed. Thank You ✈️
Thank you for subscribing.
Was the omelette freshly cooked like in CX first class? There's a skillet inside that first class galley, CX provide freshly made eggs for breakfast.
Great question. I meant to make that point in the video but forgot to. I don’t believe that the omelette was made on board, but rather was just heated up. That was something else that stood out to me because I was so impressed on CX first class, that not only could you get dim sum for breakfast, but that they also prepared eggs to order!
Busing passengers out to planes on a regular basis is proof enough that Doha is not the best airport in the world. Any survey results that say that should be taken with a grain of salt
I totally agree. Fancy first class bus aside, in Dubai you can board at the gate directly from the lounge. In Doha, if you’re lucky, you can board a bus directly from the lounge.
Qatar airways should upgrade their first class product or quit it totally
There were definitely some elements that made it superior to business class, but they set the bar so high with Q-suites that this just felt like a half effort. If Q-suites is “first in business”, then this is business in first.
the product here is based on their leased planes so im sure they dont want to give a way free first class.. QR only have first on their A380 and that product, like most other A380 are old but great. I flown A380 first many many times and I prefer them over Emirates A380 or BA A380 F
Outstanding video as usual. Well done.
Thank you! Cheers!
Nice video. Love Qatar Airways. Q suites are awesome. Safe travels!!
Thanks for commenting. I like the Q suites as well. Actually, it’s been a while since I flew in them and wouldn’t mind flying them again soon. My last long haul flight with Qatar in business, was last month to Shanghai,but they didn’t have Q suites on that aircraft unfortunately.
I've done regional 1st class Doha to Dubai a few times and it's been in a Q Suite equipped A350
Wow, that would be even nicer than this. I have also flown that route on the 777 a few times, but in an older 2-2-2 configuration. That route also seems to have more passengers in first.
Is there not a shower option in 1st?
No. They do not have showers with BA. Even on their A380s.
Until May 2022 Avianca business class was good. However, I believed that by summer of that year they removed business class from USA to Central America 😟 Thanks for your review.
Thanks for the info!
That dessert looked really tasty. Hope that you enjoyed your time in HKG. Cheers
also, look at all that construction in Hong Kong.. are they building new runways or something? So many cranes
It was very nice. And yes I had a good time in HKG catching up with my oldest friend.
Another great video from the "best of the best" in travel review videos....thank you! :o)
Interesting film as usual. I recently flew Brisbane/HKG with Cathay in Business. Sadly not the Cathay Pacific I remember from 10 years ago. Old plane, dated interior and poor food. Flight attendant service was chaotic to say the least. Flew Emirates and Qantas on the same trip. The latter was a surprise and very good. Emirates as usual couldn’t be faulted. Happy travels!
Yes, CX’s service definitely seemed a little more relaxed and refined in years past.
One should always be won over by champagne and chocolate!! Seriously though, do you think their service and product have caught up to their price point? I've felt that there was too large of a gap between the two recently.
CX is about 2/3 the cost of Emirates on this route. But of course EK has the home field advantage with very impressive lounges in DXB. Business on CX is essentially double that of premium economy so you are paying a lot for that lay flat bed. I guess it comes down to how well you can handle a nearly 8 hour overnight flight.
Hi! I found you through a reddit account. Did you leave that page?
Hi. I played around with a couple of different places to post videos early on, but I find that UA-cam is the most convenient, so I have mostly stuck it out here.
@@TheGentlemanofFortune okay
What an amazing flight! I've noted the operator as Mauritius is definitely on the horizon for us. I really enjoyed the video and would enjoy more of this type or any excursion. Helicopter videos, yes! I hope you're having a marvelous time.
No movies?
There was no tv in the seat back, but I think you might have been able to use your own device to stream entertainment. I didn’t try it, so I’m not 100% sure.
that water is GORGEOUS. Not sure what in the world you could be doing out there other than vacationing, so I hope that you had a relaxing time enjoying the water and the views! If it was for work then... best business trip ever
No kidding, right? Actually, a little break in between two work trips.
@@TheGentlemanofFortune very envious, hope you had a great time
I enjoy listening to you! :)
Thank you for listening.
Once again, another beautifully produced video. You could certainly be a documentarian because of your attention to detail, editing, and, as usual, your effective written and verbal communication skills. Well done!
Wow, thank you!
@@TheGentlemanofFortune You're welcome! It's very true.
Great, comprehensive review, which you don't always get. I'll keep watching.
Thanks.
Lovely trip report. This plane is one of the modern A330s out there. Love the cabin. They have a good business class product. Headphones could be better though
I miss your Contant! So I was so excited when I saw that you had posted some thing!😂 Glad you’re back, Mr.! I think you’re one of the final ones out there
Thank you. I should have some additional, interesting flight reviews up soon. I’m flying QATARs A380 First in a couple of days and BE0ND in about a week.
Flew Syd lax F class 777-300. Got the Qantas first class lounge which had far better food then I had inflight which felt more like business than first.
I’ve eaten in the QANTAS lounge in TBIT a few times and found the food offerings to be pretty good in there. Agree that the catering on AA is pretty lackluster in first. It can’t compete with most of the other first class products out there.
Great review! That champagne looked wonderful.
It was very enjoyable.
Finally I could hear you clearly.
What a beer selection!
Wonderful review. I’ve flown Flagship on the 777-300ER LAX-MIA about half a dozen times over the last few years, unfortunately the Flagship Dining has always been closed. Still I’ve found the MIA Flagship Lounge and its buffet to be quieter than, and of at least a comparable quality to, the MIA Centurion Lounge, which I’ve also experienced a few times. Both lounges partially make amends for the MIA experience itself, which is not particularly enjoyable for me- too much walking required, and many MIA fellow travelers in the terminal seem to lack for courtesy and respect.
I’ve also been to the Centurion lounge there in MIA several times. I agree with your sentiment. I think the Centurion lounge has become a victim of its own success, as it is such a popular feature of their cards. Now all of their lounges seem to operate at capacity which diminishes the relaxation factor considerably.
They had a guy cooking cacio e pepe scallops in the flagship lounge in Dallas last week.
I haven't flown aviance but I haven't heard good reviews. Seems like your flight was good
Maybe it was as good as one can hope for. Expectations management goes a long way to reduce feelings of disappointment. The flight itself wasn’t bad per se, just basic.
Great review! And hurray for making your connection! That is a seriously lame business class. I guess it would depend on how much of an extra cost there was to determine if it was worthwhile.
Well, at least you made your connection! I'm flying to Vancouver next week, so hopefully no delays.
Avianca the worst airline, I've ever flew . I flew from YYZ to LIM via BOG you don't even get a glass of water with then. FA are only around to sell food and drinks . Safety issue on board. I'm still traumatized by this flight. Do you really want to try their long haul flight? Don't waste your money and time. AVIANCA is pure GARBAGE
Wow. Thanks for your insight. I had no previous experience with them and had no idea of what to expect, or if what I encountered was routine for them.
@@TheGentlemanofFortune you're only going to waste your money with them. Check their reviews on Google and you will see. I didn't before I booked and I regret
Was a lite breakfast served prior to landing?
There was not on this flight. Coming out of Boston, there really wasn’t enough time for two meal services. They may well have that though on longer flights; for example, from Orlando, Seattle, or Vancouver.
Your voice is so annoying
SAA is a poverty airline! Was it worth the money though?
As someone doing one to three short domestic trips a month, I find that there have definitely been a lot of delays/cancelations during the past 24 months. I dread ever having to hop on a flight with a connection, because it just increases the chances that the second flight will have issues etc. Anyways, I always make sure to bring a full setup whenever I travel (keyboard, mouse, mousepad, headphones, laptop, etc) to make sure that in the worst case scenario I can at least kill some time more easily than just sitting on my phone. Obviously it's a little more heavy but man does it make three or four hour delays more tolerable.
That’s great advice. Do what you can to make the best of a bad situation. For years I have been hearing from some people, whom I considered pessimistic, that they hate flying because nothing ever seems to work. I only noticed it to be an issue for me when I was with these people, which led me to wonder if they were somehow manifesting the negative experience. I will say however that this year it has been nearly unavoidable. I was doing some math and I think that out of 15 flights in July, at least 9, on all different airlines, were delayed . I suspect that this will be an emphasis item for airlines going forward, so hopefully we will see some improvements.
@@TheGentlemanofFortune Likewise, hoping that they can somehow address it!
I do think LATAM has the best service to Peru and Chile. Good food and very nice people in every single flight. Thanks for the video!
Flying the dream, sponsored by the working taxpayers. Have you no shame
Hey! I thank you for this review since I needed to find an airline to johanasburg to go back to shingapore. You are a really good UA-camr I hope you luck 😃
Thank you very much. I appreciate it.
Nice TR. Thanks for taking us along. Like 195 from your newest friend👍❤️
Thanks for coming. I appreciate your support.
I found you during lockdown and have been watching ever since. I enjoy your no frills content style. And as someone who will likely never fly business or first, it gives me a taste of that world.
I appreciate your support. Hopefully I will have many more experiences to share with you.
it has been a while! I hope that you have been well brother
I have been. Thank you so much.
