This is the first time I have ever seen a UA-camr showing us plane controls with the help of a crew. Your style is unique and enjoyable. Thank you so much
Amazing how extended is your technical (aviation) knowledge. Bravo. So far I didn't meet any trip report with so deep and extended aviation knowledge. Love it. BTW. The electric engine start is something new for me.
It’s nice to see the other perspective too, isn’t it? I have some more videos editing where the crew participates, think its quite interesting. Thanks for watching Tyra!
That is precisely my goal! I’m not flying to create a problem and get views. Flying is awesome and crew treat you the way you treat them. Out of thousands of flights I’ve rarely had any problem. Airlines have good and bad days, just like us. So it would be unfair to judge from one or two negative experiences. Thanks for watching!
Amazing channel, information on flights, humour (it's a bonus in this kind of channel) and real noise of the aircraft, messages etc. Overall, you give us a real experience of a real flight.
So perfect at this me head over heels hook line n siinker.Each tripreport is so beautiful n amazing to watch.Me always dying at your brilliant humour totally in love here.Thank you for being so perfect at this best always
All plane surfaces are tested after engine start to ensure all controls are working, that is why you hear a lot of mechanical noises prior to or during taxing to runway, they are testing the controls, spoilers, rudder, etc. Flaps are usually deployed so that's their test,
Seriously, I'm watching each report twice and thrice.....amazing amazing amazing....i can't describe my excitement, this channel deserves the highest ratings and viewers....i love the airport footage and would still love a longer version of your departure and arrival experience at the airports. Well done again....I've already activated the notification button for upcoming uploads and can't wait for your next video.
Nice to see you around again Rani! And you are too generous with the compliments! I decided to record my experiences for people like you, so I am glad you’re enjoying. How does a B777-200LR sound for you as next video?😎
Loved it. And loved that long engine startup whine 😀. Gorgeous angle for the 787 wing! Also never knew that about the flaperons on takeoff! Thanks for the video.
I always wondered about the flaperons and this video made me investigate. The B777 has the same thing. A B777 pilot I asked didn’t even know himself either! Thanks for watching Gabriel!
5:32 Wizz Air spreading their wings. Seriously, that meal looked amazing, without doubt, the biggest portioned meal I have seen on an economy flight. Three different hot dishes plus the large Paratha ... wow!
Tbh, I've been watching various flight reports out there. But one thing that got me hooked to your channel was your immense knowledge of the technical side of flying. I enjoy you covering both aspects! More flights to come.
At 10:53 that’s when the GPWS in the cockpit says 80 knots and at 80 knots the flight lock mechanism is also activated. The same corresponds to Airbuses at 100 knots.
Thanks a lot for the info Neville! Always nice to learn something new. If you have any further ideas on what would be interesting to show, let me know!
Your report/review is very professional, entertaining and above all informative. It's a richly illustrated guide for future travelers. 👍👍👍 I have gladly become a new subscriber.
Hendril, I appreciate the comment and I am very glad you enjoyed it. You described very well my intentions behind these videos. Thanks for joining the team and many more experiences to come!
Can i just say what an incredible video from the abu dhabi airport to telling us all the flights on the ground, the takeoff the experience on the flight and landing in madrid.. Continue the great work and will be seeing more videos 🙌
That is one of the very few destinations that Etihad flies the B777-300ER to. I hope I manage to fly one too prior to them leaving the fleet this year. I think I was there on October 16, almost! Thanks a lot for the comment😉
@@TheLayoverAviation Etihad is actually supposed to fly the 787 to Toronto but I got lucky with it! Check this out: ua-cam.com/video/Rb5vNumaN0o/v-deo.html
I was part of the new Abu Dhabi airport development and I am south indian.i never know it will look so good.thanks for bringing this video otherwise I would not know .
Namaste! Thanks for watching. I saw quite a few A380 gates at the new terminal, I guess that as Etihad retired the A380 these will be useless.. I can’t wait to visit South India again! As soon as they open up for tourists, I’m going.
You are right Nihar, but not during engine start and the spoilers don’t move when arming, so this can’t be the reason! We’ll have to keep investigating😁
The raising of the spoilers are a check preformed by pilots just to make sure everything’s working, they also test the Alierons, rudder and horizontal stabilizer, love your vids and my dads a pilot for the 787 on etihad
Thanks a lot for the comment and the info! So regarding the spoilers, I don’t refer to the flight control check. All planes do that and the spoilers raise. What I mean is that when the engines start on pushback all the spoilers raise just a little. Maybe your dad will know why..🤷🏻♂️ You can see what I mean at minute 05:43. My B787 pilot friend did never notice that. Thanks again and see you around!
@@TheLayoverAviation I will make sure to ask my father about that. I have a theory that it could just be a influx of hydraulic fluid being directed towards the spoilers
Great video and upload. I find the ABU airport has some character at least with relative short walking distances and think it was same designer as CDG T1.
I flew now from Paris with United hoping to be able to visit T1 as I thought it would be nice to film, but T1 is closed for renovations.. It was very futuristic at its time. Now that you said, I very much see the resemblance with the old Abu Dhabi terminal. Thanks for the info, these are facts I love to know!
12:08 I can see my house xD BTW where I live I see flights landing every 5 minutes and sometimes they are so loud especially with they land slightly north east than the plane is in the frame
I would like to make a correction, the runway where you took off was RWY 13R located in South Runway. The RWY 31 R is located on the North runway. Cheers
Recently stumbled across your channel, the amount knowledge you have on aircrafts and aviation is huge. I think, this channel deserves a lot more respect. :) If you don't mind me asking, have you been ex pilot or are you just overly loaded with knowledge?
I’m just one big, if not the biggest, av geek! I live stuck to the window since a kid. But no, not a professional pilot (yet, who knows..) Thanks for the comment and for watching! Made my day.
Your channel is just the best. Where are you going next? Are you going to fly Qatar soon? I can’t wait to see your next adventure, I would love to fly with you. I loved the helicopter bothering you, it was so funny! Also Etihad crew seems very professional. I like the color of the blanket. And service looks great.
Great video my Friend 😃👍 This is my first time watching one of your videos and I am impressed by your knowledge I have just subbed Keep the good work up 😉 Also what editing app do you use?
Thank you very much for the compliment, I’m very grateful! I use VN editor on the iPad Pro. It’s free. I have some fancy ones on the PC but I can’t really use them on the go so this works fine for me so far! See you around!
How do you know when the glideslope has been intercepted? Love your videos for the mix of personality, honest review and technical knowledge. Proper Avgeek!!
From avgeek to avgeeks!😁 I know about the glideslope because of various things, such feeling it, seeing it, gear and flap deployment. I’ve done this for far too long😀
@@TheLayoverAviation Haha makes sense! I just thought you wouldn't be able to sense the rate of change when the aircraft becomes established on the glideslope since you would already be descending anyways and the difference in vertical speed would be negligible. I guess what I mean is there isn't a certain thing that happens as soon as the aircraft is established on the glideslope.
Hey Sam! True, lot’s of changes took place but I actually think they’re becoming great once again. Just some changes here and there to make it profitable..
I started watching you'r channel like 3 days ago.. now iam straight attidicted to ur channel :). Btw Nice tripreport! Btw did u flew on Royal Jordinian?
Because if they block them, which happens a lot, so much of your experience can be ruined! I love looking outside or filming things and if they block it I lost the footage!
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks bro. Ur trip reports have equal doses of information with fun. I love the fact u give information about each and every plane u spot. That actually adds up to the experience all together. Keep it up mate. U got a new subscription 😀
What an amazing trip report! I was amazed how you filmed the flight attendant showing the cabin settings! Bravo for your effort! BTW did you use a gimbal?
The "amateur way of eating" works for me. Why get messy, greasy fingers if you don't have to? That rich and filling flaky pastry thing didn't look like it had much filling. Do Etihad lock the window shading? That's one reason I don't fly on B787. I like your reports, they are well presented and the captioning is educational for those that are interested in commercial aircraft, travel by air and those of us that travel far and wide and are looking at which airlines to avoid. Well done, sir. ✈✈👍👍
Hey Tony, thanks for popping by. Etihad does not lock the blinds! So this was a big bonus as I’ve spend many day flights in darkness. I believe none of the Gulf airlines block blinds. I read that they are installing similar blinds on the A350.. Thanks for the comment and I am glad you liked the structure of the videos.
Very food flight review. But Etihad certainly has its dark side. Many people including me has not seen their refund for canceled flights for months. Is it only Etihad's way of bussines or is there any other airline that treating their customer like this?
Hey, no idea about the refund policies. I know many airlines had some billions in refunds and had they given them all back at once they would just shut doors. It’s quite a complex process, but keep contacting them. I highly doubt they wouldn’t want to refund you. Not the modus operandi in the UAE
Hi. I'm new to this channel. You have nice camera work but I personally dislike text as that forces me to read at your speed which spoils the experience as this video is 30 mins long meaning reading for 30 mins and missing a lot of what's going on in the video because I'm focused on speeding through the text before it disappears sometimes having to rewind because the text disappeared because I wasn't quick enough. It takes away from the viewing experience. Is it not possible for you to do voiceovers instead? Or you could just ignore my suggestion as I may be the only one with this issue ( I personally do not like reading especially on UA-cam). I like to watch and listen. Thanks for the otherwise very,,,, very,,,, (like really very) informative video. I learnt so much. Awesome stuff.
Hey! Thanks for watching. I am aware some people face this issue with the subtitles, and I had to make a choice of either sharing or not all the information. I chose more comments instead, as there is just a lot to share from my side. I grew up with subtitled tv so I can pretty much do both at the same time, I do however understand that others might have difficulties. If I were you, I would just ignore the comments then! I won’t be doing voice overs anytime soon, as what annoys me from other people is listening to their voices while I want to actually listen to the plane and environment. Greetings from Dubai!
@@TheLayoverAviation gotcha!!! Noted! But there's no way I'll be ignoring what you write on the screen because that's just too much useful information to ignore, perhaps I suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) lol so I'll just try to read fast and watch at the same time. Who knows I might get good at it. So true about other airline reviewers talking too much and editing out the exciting parts. So glad I found this channel. And thanks again for the great content.
Thank you for the amazing comment! I’ll see what I can do in the medium term to improve on this. I suffer from FOMO on flights, if I sleep I miss out on some view or event. Like the falcons in my last Gulf Air video, check it out! See you around 😊
@@TheLayoverAviation sadly like 2014 build ex-Air India 777-200LR now being scrapped, how young they are to retired early, in Garuda Indonesia we operated 26 years old A330-300 and still rocks so you must be try on for Jakarta-Sydney or Jakarta-Beijing routes
Just a observation. Etihad use a lot of plastic. The earphones were wrapped in plastic. The pillow was wrapped in plastic. What happened to environmental protection and green policies.
While I agree with what you say I also have to inform that this was mid pandemic, so had my blanket and other items not been hygienically wrapped I would have plainly rejected it. All other airlines have similar policies. I can’t think of anyone except one airline that doesn’t wrap their blankets..
I got used to sit back, chill, relax, take a cup off coffee and just enjoy the flight (aka your video). Music, video, your comments, humor - everything is amazing. Thank you so much!!! Carry on! Btw, I'm wondering, do you have an instagram?
Augusta, you have no idea how much I appreciate your comment. I am very glad you enjoyed. Regarding Instagram, it took me 15 years of flying around and eventually my wife pushing me to do UA-cam which already was a big step for me (am tragically slow catching up with social media). We started an Instagram account but it’s mostly food related (this channel used to be about the food I eat when I travel, but I realized people were only interested in the flying part..). I’ll let you know once the flying related one is open! Thanks again, and until then keep flying high!
@@TheLayoverAviation I actually got into the aviation part by way of UA-cam foodies paving the path… and, somehow/luckily, you! I’ve also come across several others like me, much to my surprise. I’d be interested in your Instagram with your food-travels! Regardless, your videos are extremely well done and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you!
Message to every person making a flight report...STOP writing comments in your videos please! We can't enjoy the footage if we have to read every 5 seconds
Well, you can see for yourself! I guess it depends on every person and their needs/expectations. For me this was 10’s across the board! And I’m sure there is still much more to be shown.
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks for the reply, ive always seen etihad as underatted and it's good to see it get recognition Btw i have glady become a subscriber, this has been one of the best airline reviews i have seen

It was really nice to see the crew showing you their workspace and being open to fliming onboard! :)

The spoilers were put in armed state in case of a rejected take off. This procedure is done during startup itself along with setting the flaps.
You are right Nihar, but not during engine start and the spoilers don’t move when arming, so this can’t be the reason!

Thanks for the comment and I am glad you liked the structure of the videos.
Very food flight review. But Etihad certainly has its dark side. Many people including me has not seen their refund for canceled flights for months. Is it only Etihad's way of bussines or is there any other airline that treating their customer like this?
Hey, no idea about the refund policies. I know many airlines had some billions in refunds and had they given them all back at once they would just shut doors. It’s quite a complex process, but keep contacting them. I highly doubt they wouldn’t want to refund you. Not the modus operandi in the UAE
Hi. I'm new to this channel. You have nice camera work but I personally dislike text as that forces me to read at your speed which spoils the experience as this video is 30 mins long meaning reading for 30 mins and missing a lot of what's going on in the video because I'm focused on speeding through the text before it disappears sometimes having to rewind because the text disappeared because I wasn't quick enough. It takes away from the viewing experience. Is it not possible for you to do voiceovers instead? Or you could just ignore my suggestion as I may be the only one with this issue ( I personally do not like reading especially on UA-cam). I like to watch and listen.
Thanks for the otherwise very,,,, very,,,, (like really very) informative video. I learnt so much.
Awesome stuff.
Hey! Thanks for watching.
I am aware some people face this issue with the subtitles, and I had to make a choice of either sharing or not all the information.
I chose more comments instead, as there is just a lot to share from my side.
I grew up with subtitled tv so I can pretty much do both at the same time, I do however understand that others might have difficulties.
If I were you, I would just ignore the comments then!
I won’t be doing voice overs anytime soon, as what annoys me from other people is listening to their voices while I want to actually listen to the plane and environment.
Greetings from Dubai!
@@TheLayoverAviation gotcha!!! Noted! But there's no way I'll be ignoring what you write on the screen because that's just too much useful information to ignore, perhaps I suffer from FOMO (fear of missing out) lol so I'll just try to read fast and watch at the same time. Who knows I might get good at it. So true about other airline reviewers talking too much and editing out the exciting parts. So glad I found this channel. And thanks again for the great content.
Thank you for the amazing comment!
I’ll see what I can do in the medium term to improve on this.
I suffer from FOMO on flights, if I sleep I miss out on some view or event.
Like the falcons in my last Gulf Air video, check it out!
See you around 😊
B787 saw covid before we did hahaha
Stay on the lookout for future gizmo’s on the B777-9… it might predict something else.
damn there are covid graveyard at airside ?
Most of those planes, except for the A330’s, are back in service by now.
@@TheLayoverAviation sadly like 2014 build ex-Air India 777-200LR now being scrapped, how young they are to retired early, in Garuda Indonesia we operated 26 years old A330-300 and still rocks so you must be try on for Jakarta-Sydney or Jakarta-Beijing routes
What seat number??
Hey Iqbal, can’t remember anymore, was long ago. But somewhere between row 33-35 ABC.
@@TheLayoverAviation alr thank you
@@TheLayoverAviation I have another question sorry, do you have to wear face masks at all times for the flight or just when you board??
👍💟💝💕
❤️ ✈️
Just a observation. Etihad use a lot of plastic. The earphones were wrapped in plastic. The pillow was wrapped in plastic. What happened to environmental protection and green policies.
While I agree with what you say I also have to inform that this was mid pandemic, so had my blanket and other items not been hygienically wrapped I would have plainly rejected it.
All other airlines have similar policies. I can’t think of anyone except one airline that doesn’t wrap their blankets..
@@TheLayoverAviation I get your point. Things are wrapped in plastic because of covid.
Abu dhabi's air is very hazy ya🤣🤣🤣
It can even get more hazy..!
I got used to sit back, chill, relax, take a cup off coffee and just enjoy the flight (aka your video). Music, video, your comments, humor - everything is amazing. Thank you so much!!! Carry on! Btw, I'm wondering, do you have an instagram?
Augusta, you have no idea how much I appreciate your comment. I am very glad you enjoyed.
Regarding Instagram, it took me 15 years of flying around and eventually my wife pushing me to do UA-cam which already was a big step for me (am tragically slow catching up with social media). We started an Instagram account but it’s mostly food related (this channel used to be about the food I eat when I travel, but I realized people were only interested in the flying part..). I’ll let you know once the flying related one is open!
Thanks again, and until then keep flying high!
@@TheLayoverAviation I actually got into the aviation part by way of UA-cam foodies paving the path… and, somehow/luckily, you! I’ve also come across several others like me, much to my surprise. I’d be interested in your Instagram with your food-travels! Regardless, your videos are extremely well done and thoroughly enjoyable! Thank you!
Message to every person making a flight report...STOP writing comments in your videos please! We can't enjoy the footage if we have to read every 5 seconds
How would u rate Etihad Economy?
Seat Amentites □/10
Seat comfort □/10
IFE □/10
Cabin Crew □/10
Food □/10
Bathroom □/10
Well, you can see for yourself!
I guess it depends on every person and their needs/expectations.
For me this was 10’s across the board! And I’m sure there is still much more to be shown.
@@TheLayoverAviation thanks for the reply, ive always seen etihad as underatted and it's good to see it get recognition
Btw i have glady become a subscriber, this has been one of the best airline reviews i have seen
Thanks a lot for the compliment! Etihad is indeed great. Am looking forward to flying in their Business Class some day.
Just wait for the mega review coming soon! Busy for 3 days editing it..
@@TheLayoverAviation I cant wait!!
Wow, you’ve definitely upped the ante with this video! So much work went into this and is greatly appreciated. Thank you!
Thanks Jen! I had a lot of fun shooting it. Glad you enjoyed. Hope to have more assisting crew for future video’s for you to enjoy😁
