    For the "biscuity snack" you had on board, it's Taralli Gusto Classico produced by Fiore Di Puglia. The reason why I know this is because Ethiopian serves the same in Economy, but with the actual package not on ramekin 😉

    Hello @flipfloptraveller , the aperitif biscuits they gave you are called “Taralli” to the best of you knowledge, they are usually Italian but maybe in Ethiopia they are common from Italy’s former colonial past with the country. There are different versions but these looked like the classic ones. Enjoy!

    Your comments on the day long layover for Euro airlines to and from the far southern hemisphere was the major costly reason that all but BA stopped flying to Australia. The Asian and Mid East airlines can fly in and leave back to their hub home bases promptly.
    Surprisingly ANA lingers most of the day in Syd for a late night return to Haneda.

    One UA-camr told me that the video was not sponsored but made in cooperation with the airline. Even if the airline didn't pay for it, the fact that the airline knows a reviewer is coming means the service may not be the true service.

    • @tfft
      @tfft  Рік тому +17

      Which is why they don’t know when I’m coming lol. If you have behind the scenes access, interview the pilots, have a tour of the apron and sweep the runway, that is the very definition of sponsorship. I never claim other reviewers are paid for the videos like a VPN sponsorship by the airlines, but even if your flight is just free, it is impossible to be impartial. Any discount or special treatment is sponsorship as far as I’m concerned. Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
