Great review as usual! As someone who has only had bad experiences with Delta (economy though as I have never flown their business class), the Delta One lounge at JFK definitely looks impressive.
I think in general there tends to be a stark contrast between every airline when comparing economy and business class. I was honestly surprised at how impressive the new Delta One Lounge is. I wasn't expecting it to me as nice as it was if i'm being honest. Plus the staff that I interacted with that day really were incredible. Makes such a huge difference when the staff is great
Thank you! I really appreciate that. If there’s any specific type of content or airline you’d like to see feel free to leave some feedback. I’m always looking for suggestions on what viewers would like to see☺️
Thanks so much! I agree re: Asian airlines but in trying to figure out if I want Cathay or Eva business or Delta One from Taipei to LA, Delta’s hard product is more impressive. The food not so much. This video has given me things to think about!
I’m glad you found the review helpful! I’ll say that the catering out of JFK for Delta specifically tends to be better, but out of Taipei the Asian airlines for sure would have much better food. It’s unfortunate that EVA doesn’t fly their newer business class seats to LAX and hopefully Cathay will release their newer business class Aria suites on North American routes soon as well. I definitely feel you on the struggle to decide between hard product and soft product though. I hope you enjoy whatever flight you decide to go with and safe travels✈️
Oh no! Sorry to hear that. I don’t blame you for being upset I would angry too. Aircraft bait and switch is the worst😔 did you at least get to enjoy the lounge?
I wouldn't consider the service you get from Middle Eastern and Asian airlines as over the top per se. That's what the expected service level should look like if I'm dropping over $6k. We're so accustomed to poor quality of service and high costs in this country that we find ourselves being satisfied with mediocrity. I'd agree the lounge does look pretty posh. Other than that, the flight experience itself including the meals look just meh. US airlines have unfortunately become quite embarrassing compared with the rest of the world. Anyway, nice review though.
Thanks for watching! When I said Asian and Middle Eastern airlines are providing over the top experiences I wasn’t referring to the service, more so about the actual product, like Emirates Gamechanger, Etihad Apartments, Singapore Airlines Double Suites bed etc… I should have been more clear about that. Definitely agree that generally US airlines provide mediocre experience but the particular staff I had on this flight and in the lounge really were great so I wanted to give them the credit they deserve
@@allons.y Why yes. The Day after Thanksgiving I will be headed to Honolulu. BNA, LAX, HNL. The LAX leg will be Delta One on the 767-300. The return will be Delta One HNL, DTW, BNA. Coming out of HNL will be on the Air Bus A330. Im looking forward to it!
I know it’s an innocent mistake, but future reference, please blur out the workers badge as well. It has very sensitive information on display . Thank you very much.
Sounds like a very honest review - thanks!
Thanks for watching! All my travels are self-funded so my reviews will always be 100% honest

wowwww that lounge though!
Not gonna lie I was surprised at how nice it was. I don’t find many airport lounges impressive but they nailed it with this one
service is everything and also mattress pad FTW
mattress pad makes such a huge difference!
Do you have any restaurant recommendations for Amsterdam?
Chez nina (peanut bucatini is amazing), Libertine, Cafe r de Rosa, back to black coffee, Sins of Sal (birria tacos and cocktails are great here)
@@allons.y thank you so much, I’m going on Saturday…and then to Santorini then to Italy
That sounds amazing! Safe travels and enjoy all the delicious food 😋✈️
I had booked the suite on the new neo plane, and then they switched aircraft! I’m still pissed off!
