This is exactly how an airline travel video should be made and shown. Time to read the menu; pausing to show each dish/meal/snack & drink; detailed view of the amenity kit, and the music isn't so loud that one needs to adjust the volume. On a personal note - thank you for showing a different view on take off. Outstanding video editing - thank you for sharing your trip with us.
Thank you for your kind comment
I could not agree more. Quietly without verbal narration so you can interpret the experience on a more personal level.
@@mariateresabissinger3035 Thank you & nice of you to say. Probably one of the best in travel location videos on YT but I quit watching. When the menu is given less than 15 sec and the bottoms are cut off... I want to punch a wall. Figured it saved on the healthcare costs for me ; )
@@luxurytravelexpert congratulations
Me, watching your videos 4 months ago: "Man, I wish I could travel first-class"
Me, watching your videos now: "Man, I wish I could travel"
Yes I miss traveling as well 😢
Be grateful 🙏
my cruise was cancelled
Pakistani Reacts what makes you think they can’t afford a cruise?
@@brittany1105 the dumb ass troll doesn't know me at all. Perhaps "it" is jealous.
I find it quite astonishing and admiral that you’ve got quite a fear of flying, yet you produce such quality and extensive tripreports! Talk about owning your fears
Did you mean: I find it quite astonishing and admirable...?
this video makes me feel better when just staying home doing nothing.
Ani H Same here🙋🏻♂️👌
Sammmmmmmmmmme
@@B-Dog1 hmmmmmmmmmmmmm????
Yo tambien
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂me too
What I love about this channel is that the videos aren't interrupted every 5 minutes by commercials. It is a non-venal choice that fits well with the elegance of the channel.
6 hours isn’t long enough to really enjoy this!
Except if you are in economy class 🤣🤣🤣
@@riyadda1 Well...when you think that with the difference in price you can purchase a two week cruise with a balcony, I would say thar 6 hours is not long enough to make it worth the money....unless you roll in though, but deny a raise to your employees...lol
Yaa not enough
I flew twice AUH-JFK on the same seat, a 16hs flight but I sleep like a baby for like 10hs, it hard to stay awake for 16hs even on a nice cabin. I didn't pay too much, just like $50 in taxes and 115k Advantage miles (that I got from 2 different credit cards) 😆.
You could fly the route between Seattle and Dubai on Emirates Air. Much nicer....16 hours long.
I love that this channel shows some of the fanciest stuff but the editing is very simple, clean, no voice over, sometimes with classy background music, only with short captions. Thank you very much.
Love the First Class experience. Since my father works there, he is entitled to steep discounts on airline tickets including a 90% rate on First Class tickets. Etihad is just the peak of luxury, I can claim firsthand.
no private restroom?
@@zionismisamentaldisorder658there is
I deal with turbulence by closing my eyes and gripping both armrests with all of my might so that I can concentrate on single-handedly holding the plane up in the air. Seems to have worked so far....
Stapedectomy (Google) also known as the stirrup (a part in your ear), this has effect on your sensation for balance. Sometime you loose a sense of balance if this part of the ear is infected. One good piece of advice I learnt was if you turn on your side in the chair during turbulence, the Stapedectomy, doesn't have such an effect on your mental awareness, it won't eradicate 'bad sensation' completely, but it will 'dull' some of the sensation of the lower/softer turbulent movement. The use of in-ear earphones with the music slightly louder than normal (do not put the volumne up to the max) will also assist whilst laying on your side. I have unfortunately been in three category 3 turbulence episodes, the one on the trip from Jamaica to England (as per usual another night flight which never helps), was partularly violent, 2 hours after take off. By adopting the above, saying my prays, I actually fell asleep, only for my next door passenger to tell me that it lasted at various leveles till we arrived over Ireland. Worth a try....
Love this comment. Fantastic description of your feelings.
@@FOXHOUND4143 Thanks! I know it's silly but phobias are never logical, are they? I mean, God knows what type of chaos and panic might ensue if I ever actually got out of my seat during a flight! 😂
@@seyley2901 I'll remember that, thanks!
For me I start remembering all the movies that had an air plane crash
Glad you included the turbulence. Your sense of humor made me smile...
I can't afford travel like this
But through your channel it feel like i was travel with you
So soothing and smooth presentation
Notice how we are all watching these travel channels in covid lockdown around the world .. hoping and praying of a somewhat normal life again.. 🙏🙏😷😷😷
My father worked for TWA from before I was born so I grew up flying back and forth to Germany where my mother was from and have no fear of flying. Takeoff is my favorite part of the flight and I had the privilege of flying first class many times as a non-rev passenger. When I reached the age of 18 I discovered the cost of a plane ticket when I lost my flying privileges! Since then I have felt like a bird with her wings clipped! Thank you for letting me travel vicariously through your videos🛫
May sound funny, but I truly felt like I am on the plane with you anytime I watch your channels. It brings back my flying memories in sync with what I am watching and creates a positive illusion in my mind.
Always producing wonderful reviews with no annoying American accents for 30 minutes. Thank you for another great one!
I've learned from your travel vlogs alot. You always take us with you and let us take part in the way you look at things. Luxury is not only about money, but also a way you look at simple things in life. Thank you so much.
The food looked so good I had to indulge myself with a bag of amusingly colorful peanut M & Ms, washed down with an elegant yet cunning Diet Coke, followed by a trip to the fully en suite bathroom facilities complete with complimentary Cottonelle. There's nothing like luxury!
This has got to be 1 of the most spacious suites in the sky
It is :-)

The music is so relaxing
I flew Etihad almost 2 years ago. My partner and I had the privilege of being in the Etihad Residence from London to Abu Dhabi. The service and experience was nothing short of amazing. The problem with flying this way is that nothing else really measures up unless you own your own plane and have the necessary capital to maintain it to your specifications.
From pick up to drop off their attention to our every need and want was spectacular. My partner and I are both vegan (which we notified the airline of at the time of booking) and the meals that the Residence Lounge and the onboard chef designed for us were superlative in both flavour and form. Each dish was like a delicious work of art we almost didn't want to eat them.
Alas, I heard the Residence is no longer an available seating option. I would gladly pay for the experience again.
✈️ Etihad Airways is one of the best airlines in the world, especially in the field of first class seats & Foods . There is also a separate suite on Etihad A380 planes, which is the most expensive first class in the world (The Residence) . A few tips about Etihad Airways : The lighting inside the plane is dark and low, especially at night . Services (in business & first) are similar to five-star hotels in London . The flight attendant, they are not very active such as Qatar, the Emirates or Singapore Airlines, and the environment is more VIP . The average fare which Etihad needs to charge to break even on the India-routes will be higher than other airlines, as its aircraft have fewer seats (for this reason Etihad is more expensive than others) . It also has fewer flights than the Emirates and Qatar ✈️
No way
you have a fascinating name, friend...
@@joeoleary6813 🙏
I appreciate your commentary, but I have an honest question for you. Is the appearance (you said attractiveness) that you mentioned a definable quality, can you put it into words, so that the airline can take you feedback and improve?
@@mariateresabissinger3035 ✈️ Hi ! I didn't understand what you mean . I explained about luxury travel expert video and Etihad airlines ✈️
I’ve travelled Etihad a couple of times and I just love the airlines. I will fly with my husband and daughter in the Airbus A380 real sooon....yaaaaayyyyyyyy
Soooo Beautiful!! This is the most beautiful and luxurious class I've ever seen. Thank you so much for bringing all the amazing video to all of us around the world!
I've flown 4x in Etihad's A380 First Class Apartment. The quality of food and drink are definitely first class and overall a great experience. Only negatives 1) The fold out bed is super hard - so it's a bit of a gimmick 2) The extreme noise level on the upper deck at the front of an A380 makes it very hard to sleep 3) WiFi mostly doesn't work 4) The movie selection is rubbish... definitely BYO!
I had the privilege to purchase a first class ticket for my mother and I, from Las Vegas to Brazil. We were so excited to enter the Polaris lounge in Newark and be able to take a shower and drink unlimited illy espresso shots haha! good times those were. This here is on a whole other level though. Deff planning somthing like this when the beaches open up again. take care and thank you for showing us your experience !
Thanks for sharing!
Beautiful video. I also like many others also get nervous during turbulence. I found by accident that sitting up straight and sucking in my stomach has a remarkable calming effect. I am not much into meditation or yoga but this simple change in my pose goes a very long way, every time. Travel on and thanks for sharing.
Yes I had travel from Nepal to Abu Dhabi to Saudi Arabia(Jeddah).Ethiad Airlines is very good airlines.its sevice and hospitality is appreciable.
One day I would like to be able to afford this. It looks absolutely stunning and so comfortable. Definitely adding this to my bucket list.
With turbulence I try and relax my body while the plane bounces around. ✈️
I absolutely adore your videos. I flew Etihad to Hyderabad on two occasions from New York. The most memorable flight I have ever experienced. I do miss their old boarding music quite a bit though.
I flew exactly 24 flights with Etihad. I’m not even kidding I’ve gone to India 6 times, with a flight from here to Abu Dhabi, to India, and the way back. So 6 times 4 is 24. I always fly economy but the economy on Etihad is amazing it has plenty of leg room with tasty food, and a really good entertainment. Also, the boarding music is bussin.
Another wonderful video. I love having the ability to travel some place I've never been at a moments notice here. Every day I can choose a new destination to see and for a little while escape quarantine !!! he he he he Well Done once again.
🙏
Good Bless 😇 Star Strong
I have never forgotten my first class flight in 1983 with Pan Am! Oh how it has changed and I love turbulence as I took once a Cessna flight rated to 3G no more and it was great fun
Watching this it's certainly is a treat to everyone during the pandemic.
I am a cabin crew and I miss flying so so much ... I miss the conversations with the passengers ...
which airline?
I miss flying😔
U can still travrlt
I appreciate that you’re actually showing everything without making it about you.
I like when a new video comes up, you the only traveler that shows a real fly experience!
I drool every time I see an Airbus 😍
Congratulations on a half million subs. Well deserved. I flew Etihad First on this same route but in the opposite direction in 2018 (when they were still using a 777) and experienced the worst turbulence of my life. I was in the lavatory changing into my pajamas when all of a sudden I was in the air and my head hit the ceiling. The FA banged on the door and I crawled out to the crew jump seat and strapped in. The FA was crying and said she’d never felt it that bad. And 5 minutes later everything was fine.
Wow sounds like a terrible experience
i just love the unique livery of this airline..
Oh wow its truly amazing!! I love the decors. It really gives out the relaxing/spa/lounge vibe! Even the business class atmosphere looks great and the plane's so spacious! Thanks for another great upload&review 👍👍
These are truly fascinating videos. The videography, editing, and artistic expertise is astounding. Many of us "normal" people cannot experience such things... however; these videos let us peek into these special environments. Very nice. Thank you.
Beautiful memories of 2019 or early 2020! Sigh 😔. I don’t know how traveling will look like after pandemic😔😞
I feel like a lot of these first class cabins are the ONLY safe way to fly!
I love your videos now more than ever. Now that we can't travel due to Covid, it is lovely to watch your videos and use our imagination and day dream like we are actually there. It puts a smile on my face and makes it so fun. Thank you for your amazing videos.
Etihad just raised the bar of 1st class service 👏👏👏👏
My father was a pilot and took me to fly with him approx 100 times before i was fifteen on different aircrafts, including acrobatics:)
Fully developed spin freaked me out a bit when i was thirteen or something, but it was still kinda fun same way amusement park rollercoaster ride is.
I have no fear of flying whatsoever propably because of those experiences.
First Class is so much more interesting than business class
And First Class is usually much more expensive than business class ..
business class is also much more interesting than economy class
Dear Cees Duck and Fans !
For additional pleasures and comfort you always need to pay more : but not always the best
can have a price ...
True , money sometimes
provides a way to decent
independence.

Now that's what I call First Class , cabins with complete privacy.
Flying has to be one of my most precious memories.
I love it!
Thank you for the amazing video, Luxury Travel Expert!
A hug from the Dominican Republic, I love your videos, they are very instructive.
12:39 Apparently (or rather, 'evidently') this aircraft comes equipped with a mirror for men to admire their manhoods :) Nice!
Your videos are heavenly! I’ve began truly traveling because of you. My last trip was to Mykonos and Santorini back in January. I adore the rain and had wanted to experience it in a beautiful place. I flew business class on Alitalia and fell in love. When travel restrictions are lifted ( I live in the USA ) I’m planning a trip with my family to either Positano or Oia Santorini in the Summer of 2021.
Thx for sharing! Let’s hope the pandemic will soon be a thing of the past
The music you use just works. It is so soothing and fits all of your videos. It also makes me emotional and sad as I cannot currently travel for work and my vacation options are small.
I visited to Paris from Delhi and from Zurich to Delhi in June 2019
This airline is the best
Very comfortable
Good legroom
Smooth take off and landing
No noise in cabin
Air pressure is well maintained
No pain in ears
Superb
Yes i have travel two times and overall experience was very good and give a luxury feeling in sky.But I liked most is that the behaviour of crew members was very nice and its food quality as well.
i really love watching your videos during lockdown ....with my family ....
My partner and I found your vlog. We love it. You do an incredible job at showing the viewer a site we probably don’t see else where. Thank you-
Thx for your kind comment
It’s funny. My husband will ask what I’m doing on my tablet and I’ll tell him I’m traveling. Then he will ask how was your flight and hotel. He know I watch your channel.
Luxury Travel Expert - Like you, I am a nervous flyer. Although I have been on several round-trip flights, the last time I flew was in 1987. My flying days are over so your travel videos mean and a great deal to me. Thank you for taking me along on your travels, I enjoy them very much.
that outside is wild I love that
Flown Etihad a few times now - have to admit it is one of the best airlines I've flown with
Your videos are amazing. I love that you show every detail and don’t rush anything . I watch your videos every night and they relax me so much. Well done.
Honestly, I really enjoy turbulence. I really like it when I'm being shaken in a vehicle (aircraft as well as a train). Bumpy air and tracks make me fall asleep sooner for whatever reason. Exept for heavy turbulence, that keeps me awake because it's too much shaking, but I still really enjoy it as long as the cabin doesn't fall apart.
I have done this flight and this class. Heading back to Kuwait from a conference. My ultimate destination was South Africa.
Those videos make me so happy. I will one day fly with Etihad ☝🏽🙏🏽🤞🏽❤️
I like how a birdie appeared to have shat the rear camera 😂. Seriously tho I love these vids, really miss traveling
A nice reflection in the vanity mirror.
I treat turbulence as a bit of fun. I recall my childhood days of travelling on bumpy roads because I think it feels similar.
Mild/moderate turbulence, short in duration doesn’t bother me per se. I just close my eyes and place my right hand over my abdomen. Worst turbulence I ever encountered was in the ‘70s. Domestic flight from Minneapolis to Chicago. It came out of nowhere and was severe ... breakfast trays (yes back in the day they actually served a meal on a one hour flight) went up into the air as the aircraft went down. Needless to say, we were wearing our breakfast upon deplaning. There were several minor injuries reported because people were not strapped in even though they were seated. Thank heavens that was “one and done” and in my 1.5 million miles of travel (to date) I’ve never forgotten it. Made for a lifetime of memories though.
Thx for sharing!
UUUGGGGG... The food plated sooooo well!!!🤤🤤🤤
I travelled via eithad airways from New Delhi (Indra Gandhi international airport) to New York (John F Kennedy international airport) on business class. It was fabulous. There in flight service and everything was too good. Moreover if I talk about the price, it was very reasonable. Overall it was a nice experience
How much did you payed?
I put my headphone for some Andre Rieu's music when the turbulence happens :)
Excellent video for Etisalat Airways! Abu Dhabi is close to my heart and my second home. More videos and travels to conquer Sir!
I love travelling on Etihad! I have never been in first class, but I have been in business many times and the experience is AMAZING!!!
@@CbosEasyRecipes7 Yes definitely, I would totally recommend it!!
I am watching your videos as I am working on both my personal growth and development life plan!
Travel expert is best , explanation and lyrics
yes Etihad or Emirates are the best when it comes to luxury travel
Extra quality of this airline
It was a great experience I have gone to Paris to NYC in the residence it was really great
Such a beautiful cabin experience with you, thanks a lot.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Greetings from Indonesia! I always enjoy your video. I remember our former president Mr. Habibie said (he is also an aircraft engineer, you can google him) "If it shakes, then the hull is safely coping with the pressure". I admit I'm not a nervous flyer from the start, but his saying makes me enjoy every turbulence afterwards 😁
Helpful to know. And talk about an interesting career path.
After seeing this video I am crying I love Abu Dhabi thanks for the video
I totally understand why turbulence freaks people out. Especially ones that drop the plane like 20 feet. But for me, I just surrender it. Like i put 100% faith in the pilots before the flight and just hit a mental point of no return. It's like a rollercoaster. Once it starts moving, what's freaking out and screaming gonna do? Same with a plane. I get that it's scary, but for me I'm just like "I'm here, there's no getting off. So I gotta just swallow it trust the pilot and be at peace with it."
That's helped me not only be not afraid to fly but really enjoy flying too.
To improve the meal experience while flying - use a saline nasal spray (to rehydrate your mucosa in the nose)
try to not use antihistamines or other medication that dries out your nose - take if you need it but also use the saline nasal spray
I would take a tiny bottle of water to spray on my face as a mist before eating- the hot towel they provide would also help
Then while eating put on the noise canceling headphones- play music with the sea when eating fish or seafood and music with high notes (like a saxophone or violin or pan flute) to increase the perception of sweetness
Try to pick foods with Unami- like tomatoes, mushrooms, hard cheese or smoked / pickled fish
I have travelled a lot in etihad its amazing and its good how they treat us
I flew with Etihad Manchester to Abu Dhabi in 2008. It was excellent.
"The lounge also features a small business centre, there's also a play area for children."
The sadist in me prays that they are one and the same.
🤣
I flew on a regular basis with Etihad to AUS. For me personally one of the best airlines. The staff is always friendly and there hard product is awesome. Unfortunately I hadn’t had the opportunity yet to fly first class. But the time will come....
Very impressive video! Background music is very soothing and relaxing. I love watching such videos.
A380 is the best and most comfy plane ✈️😍.
*I just enjoy turbulence! It's not that scary! The 1st class apartment looks amazing... Excellent for a couple to stay together!*
Thanks for watching!
Wow!!! I love the set up!
I could easely fly to Melbourne in This comfort❤️
It's quite relaxing watch.
Nice indepth review of the Apartment in skies .. Ethihad A380
Very nice video and music! I feel like I’ve made it already.
Con mí familia lo hicimos en marzo 2020, y efectivamente, fue hermoso, todas las cosas que hicimos. Y la excursión en el catamarán, fue perfecta. Hermoso video
Замечательное видео! Я всегда засыпаю от ваших путешествий, в хорошем смысле. И я представляю, что летаю только первым классом...... ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊
Regarding dealing with turbulence, I’m from Hawai’i and whenever we’d have turbulence flying inter-island the flight attendants would always say, Don’t worry, she’s just doing the hula. On a more serious note, just remember it’s only wind and air. Safe travels!
I’m terrified of flying but want to get over that fear so I can fly amazing planes and go to amazing places like you do
Excellent trip report. The First class service is impressive. 6 hours isn't enough to enjoy this
