I've been watching for many years and I always find your adventures so inspiring. It's so great to see your channel grow, Dan!
Made me laugh, Dan. I never thought of overhead air vents as "opulent." I'm vintage, from the old 707 and 727 days. Air vents were standard then, and I know they're not now. Thanks for the "how did I book this" ending, very helpful.
Between losing air vents, free drinks, and people dressed up to fly, the good old days are long gone…
@@johannatrahan6613 So true!
B707 and B727?!! Oh, prehistoric!!!
@@michaelrmurphy2734 Hahaha, prehistoric? That would be my Nana's ride in 1912 at Col. Charlie Goodnight's ranch in the Texas Panhandle. The pilot chose her to get the ride, out of all the kids that had been watching the flying all day. She rode in a plane before she ever rode in a car! But yes, the 707 and 727 are part of history now.
@Johanna Trahan what airlines don't have air vents?
I really love your detailed explanations of how to book, seat selections and why you made the choices you did. I have only flown International once and we got bumped up to business and I am sold on that section for flights over 4 hours.
You're absolutely crushing it Dan, the quality of your videos are brilliant! Love following your journey.
That comment about the limited choices "due to free upgrades' seems unfair - not only because you should be treated the same in business class whether you got in with points or cash, but because imagine if you'd paid the full business price and you had a limited on board experience because of that?
They plan how much food to put onboard well prior to boarding.
If too many people upgrade just prior to boarding, the food especially the upgraded options will be limited as they don’t want to waste food and money. Or time to scramble last minute to get more food just in case someone who they didn’t know was planning to sit in business class wants something else.
I work as cabin crew for a subsidiary of a major airline. Typically on the short haul flights in our business cabin, we serve any free upgrades last as they were the last ones to get a place in the cabin - to ensure passengers who paid in advance get the full experience.
@jdonovan2000 You'd think this would be the obvious course of action, but I guess not to everybody...
.last minute upgrade some time they are not inttitled for a meal coz they don't cook the meals on on board they have to contact the catering department. And it can take sometime up to 50 minutes so definitely they won't delay the flight 50 minutes for somebody s meal .dubai airport is a huge airport and everything is planned and prepared ahead .last minutes request is usually hard to get not coz the crew are stingy but coz really they don't have it on board
12:08 I appreciate your flydubai review and especially the explanation on how you scored the good deal. I would love to see a whole video on your strategies for getting the best deal on business class seats from google flights, etc. I am interested in all the minute details such as weather the ground services are included when you upgrade.
I've been subscribed to the channel for a long time now, you are the best flight reviewer out there!
Your content is really professional and polished, and so informative at the same time.
Keep up the fantastic work! 👍
Sorry for the double post, Another reason I love your channel is that you tell us how much you paid and which magic you used to get that fare. So many other channels will keep quiet even if it's a meal at a restaurant. I appreciate the tips and also to include the total price you paid.
Last minute upgrades are the way to go. I upgraded on Uganda Airlines' A330-800 from Johannesburg to Uganda (stage length of 4 hours) for just $210 the other day. Had I gone for the bidding process, the minimum bid would have been $375.
Did you upgrade at the check in desk or gate?
As well as the 737 mark you are also nearing the 747! Can’t wait
Hi Dan, I've been watching you for such a long time. Amazing to see your content just getting better. Well done man.
I flew flybubai in Business class once in 2018 to Bucharest. The airline required extra time for transit if your previous was from Terminal 3 as terminal 2 is on the other side of the airport
Just a side comment, for some destinations (e.g. Warsaw) flydubai uses T3 in Dubai, which creates a lot of pain when the connection leaves from T2
Never say never when it comes to aviation, Dan. There's a good chance EK will star GOT service in the years ahead. As a sixth-freedom airline EK must seek our new, possibly secondary, cities.
Why you think Emirates would never fly to Gothenburg? They fly to middle size cities like Nice or Newcastle
Is FlyDubai a feeder airline for Emirates? Get everyone to Dubai and reboarded onto Emirates flights?
Emirates wouldn’t fly there because Sweden isn’t a big boy European country like France or england
Sweden isn't a a big market not is it important
@@M3ganwillslay Qatar Airways used to fly to Gothenburg. So it’s entirely possible for Emirates to open the route.
@@tylernolan8288I'm pretty sure EK flies to MLE?
4:42 nice touch with the food sprinkles
You come up with
Pleasant Surprises, and you never disappoint, keep it up 👍
Thank you Dan for your honest review and keeping your humour wich made me laugh in many ocasions. A big thank for not bashing the crew, you've just mentioned something and then carried on saying that what really matters is the comfy seat. You were kind and polite, that's why I keep watching your videos. I was not very sure about wich company I should take but I'll definatelly try fly dubai. All I want is a very comfortable seat.
Loving new style! Subtle changes, yet maintaining your identity with a great sense of humor 😂
Great video as always.. I'm officially now a subscriber. keep up the great work
Awesome review Dan, do you think that you could review StarLux airlines next?
Amazing how appreciative of the food you are :) you seem like a lovely guy ❤
How about a comparison between domestic (Australian) and premium economy on international flights. The seem similar in terms of seats and legroom
FlyDubai Is Another Airlines I Havent Flown With.Great Trip Report
Great video Dan! I love your flight reviews!
Dang, Nonstop Dan is building some mass!
Looks like a good flight experience overall despite the indifferent attitude of the cabin crew.
not the era 😂
i looove your references and your reviews! keep it up :)
Erm, flown fly Dubai routes DXB to Zanzibar and found the experience was great. Pleasantly surprised. Would highly recommend and I also frequently fly business class with emirates London to DXB.
Apart from the lack of legroom in that particular seat and the stairs, that would suit me in general.
I like to fly business long haul in general so I can sleep and avoid the general mob.
Food on one tray is fine, as is the lack of obsequious service.
I look at FlyDubai as those 2 friends you have where they got the same mom but different dads, some commonalities but very different airlines
Glad I found your reviews. I subscribed! ❤
I would never use Flydubai again!!! In February I flew from London to Dubai on Emirates with a 90 minute layover and from Dubai onwards to Muscat all full fare Business Class. The outbound journey was good but on my return flights they downgraded our Business Class seat as they decided to use a smaller aircraft which was packed. My husband is 6ft 4 ended up being squashed in a seat in row 17 with no legroom whatsoever, we tried to get a seat with extra legroom and they just didn’t want to help. I had to battle to get a refund from them as they initially refused to pay us back the difference NEVER AGAIN Flydubai!!!
What the fuck
4:40 The pre-departure snacks are a nice touch 😖
Hey Dan, have you seen the announcement that FlyDubai will introduce brand new business class reverse herringbone “suites” with closing doors, starting late 2023? 😊
Always good information Dan....all the best
Great video as always, Dan. I love your channel! Could you please fly on Vistara 787-9 between Europe and India before they merge with Air India? Thank you!
Dan, I flew with Qatar a couple of weeks ago, and UA-cam must’ve heard me Because it started recommending your channel! Great discovery.
Charge that watch Dan ! 😂
Not in a million years would I fly with them .
Thank you so much for the heads up
Why? Thank you 🌺
Great stuff, as always. Many thanks.
I saw you on Friday at the entrance to Landvetter airport but you were recording and I didn't want to bother you, but if you're reading this I want you to know that I love your videos and it was crazy seeing you in Gothenburg on a random day 😂
Was that CRUMBS at 4:42 after boarding the plane?
I saw that too! Just about to comment on it when I saw your post.
"Pinocchio's nose in reverse..."🤣🤣🤣 instant classic 😁
Head for the warm glow Dan. Head for the glow
long time watcher and. first-time commenter lol 😂😂... Anyway, the tv feels a bit small for the space for sure.. and a little bland, compared to some of your other business class flights.
Great content as always.
Cheers Dan great video never new this airline,,,😊😊😊😊😊
I flew on SQ intra Asia on a 737 with these seats and they are great. I was frustrated when on one flight there was an aircraft substitution and the experience is very different!
SQ had said that these seats are compatible only with the 737MAX & not its older 738s; hence the seats' rollout was delayed by the MAX's grounding. Which surprised me as I thought the only difference between the MAX & the 737NG were the engines & the cockpit, plus further stretched versions being available only on the former
this video has been a roller coaster of ups and downs 😂
Great videos as always, you deserve 787k views ❤
HAHAHA!! Maybe Dan should sue Fox and get them as dollar bills!!!
I was hoping for a new level, 797K...but hey, that’s me. 🙄
@@paulsz6194 yeah 797k is dope, but then what comes after that?
@@realnamenotneeded I guess 919 - like as in the Comac C919. But that will be a little obscure for most people!
I love your geeky video’s
Flew with FlyDubai out of & back into Kandahar, economy of course. I don't recall anything good or bad, so it must've been ok.
if you hit 737,000 subscibers you have to do the island hopper by united airlines also on a 737.
I really liked the entire trip report. But, somewhere or the other, I feel the comparison with Emirates here wasn't needed since they both are completely different products altogether. We n ever compare any LCC with the FCC.
I’m flying out of CVG (Kentucky) on Monday morning on my way home to SLC Utah. 4 hour flight so I downloaded a bunch of your videos to keep me busy and to rate my flight (Delta my favorite airline)
I really wonder what is the point of Business Class without direct aisle access. The 2 worst things about flying are surely
if you're on the aisle, being disturbed by people wanting to get out
if you're not on the aisle, having to disturb people when you want to get out.
Not so bad if you know the person sitting next to you, but what if you're by the window and they are in 'lie flat' mode. Just climb over them?
Hello, sorry for bothering, I'm looking for a reliable site to buy a round trip plane ticket from Paris to Wenzhou (China). After seeing a lot of site reviews I'm afraid of having problems after the purchase, so do you have any recommendations? thaks
Had a great time flying fly Dubai I did not know it existed before your video so thanks
4:42 the remote comes with pre-departure snack.
Looked gross in there, I’m surprised Dan didn’t comment.
they are my two fav airlines! so cool
Would be interested in seeing you review Singapore Airlines. Have heard that they are no longer a great way to fly, and very expensive.
I love those potato chips, got a good cheese selection on my recent flight to Bucharest. The flight attendant was a Filipino and she was an absolute treat! Guess we had different experiences
This reminds me of the old JetBlue mint class with 2/1/2 alternating rows like here
Interesting arrangement.
I heard they will be introducing 787s soon, so Gothenburg may be a possibility
Okay this is a weird question but you know when your on an emirates plan and when taxing or just standing there is a song played in the cabin what is it called again?
Pls do Iberia Premium economy!! Was very disappointing as they ran out of premium amenities but the food was gas
Have you tried flying out of Dubai T2? its horrible without going into the business lounge
Nice plane and configuration 🛫😍
I wasn't expecting it to be 4 hours from Istanbul to Dubai so you could get 3 hours sleep 💤 on a lie flat seat.
7:14 "Identity Theft is not a joke Jim, millions of families suffers every year" SCHRUTTE, Dwight 😂😂😂
Its basically Aer lingus’ business class cabin😂
The interior colours, seat, and general product feels like a Middle Eastern version of Jetblue
Could you do an update to Pegasus airlines, as I will be travelling with them soon 🙏
Would love to see more flights from Germany ❤
Fly and stay safe. Great and informative vlog. Thank you. Ciao. 2023.
Are you going to start reviewing economy class for the travelling public not lucky enough to travel premium? It would help to broaden your appeal and boost your viewing numbers.
Or compare like for like routes. Or the same route with different carriers. Would be nice to see some
Objectivity from you, rather than rating an airline on its nuts or pretzels.
looking kinda big bro good work. (in the good way)
Can you review zipair nrt-SJC
I fully agree with your opinion on this flight but how ist the presentation of food a drawback? I mean it’s pretty standard for a business class flight elsewhere.;)
Dan! I love you and your videos!
The flat bed looks like an MRI scan 😅
Yeah, I've been tempted to try FlyDubai to KTM. After this and other videos, I think that I'll stick with QR.
4:41 ??? Is that crumbs on the remote???? 😮 snack anyone?? 😂
Is no one going to mention the dirt around the remote at 4:42 in the video
Hi Dan! Have been a fan for some time, great videos. Small quirk: Your intro says you're half "Sweden" and half American. Shouldn't it be "Swede" or "Swedish"? Just curious 🙂
Hey friend how are you feeling today
I'm Garrett ray from north California united state of America
What about you please?
Oh dear, a 737 max, good accident! 😂😂😂😂
0:20 confused experience "Hi-Highs & Lo-Lows"
The book 9 seats hack is genius... you get the 'sub' 😮
AURA is only offered in the US maybe you should have mentioned that
Essentially the same seats that TAP use on their A321LRNeo product
Dan, why are people walking 1 to 2 miles between parking or shuttle and their gates in regular airlines lately, do you know?
I flew FlyDubai business class to the Maldives and it was fine. Just fine. The cabin was extremely hot and the food was one you would expect on a budget European airline. Some business class seats have direct aisle access which is always a plus but i’d rather fly on the B777 business class without aisle access, they were worlds apart. For a cheap business options however, may be worth trying to see if the experience is any better.
Our seat was also changed at the gate from one of the single seats to a double, there was nobody in these seats but was changed for no reason.
Love the video amazing
"Unlike any experience in the world". Looks just like JetBlue Mint
And TAP Portugal or Aer Lingus. Trust Dan to exaggerate...
What do you mean you “bid” the minimum to have a chance at an upgrade?
The old Silk Air, now Singapore Airlines, 737 neo's also have the same business configuration
737 neo? Its called 737 max
they got 737neo on their websites when you book your flight... so tell them

Once i got a deal with singapore airlines business class for 2 round trip in july, frankfurt to singapore only for 3400 euros on their A380! In business, I think it was on of the best deals singapore airlines ever sold! And this year in july for 2 roud trip cathay pacific A350-1000 from frankfurt to hong-kong and the to Kuala Lumpur for 5500 euros when most of the times it is well over 10000 euros! I really don’t know if I’m lucky that im finding such good deals. And Dan you are really my idol! I hope you will soon get the 777K SUBS! Really looking forward for your Turkish Airlines flight!
You need to fly Caribbean Airlines business class
