      Try listening back over your video, I agree its rushed try a more relaxed approach great speakers not only speak but can be heard calmly, clearly and you here them poise for a second take a breath & continue .... its a art that takes time to acquire...try listening to other aeroplane bloggers, you'll soon hear the varied speech patterns, some a great others are bad .... I'm enjoying the reviews, remembers its not all about the flight, try a blog on the airports there helpful if you've never been before ...thanks keep up the great work

    I haven’t watched your channel for a while, but I like this format of video! The new 737 MAX looks really nice, I can’t wait until they retrofit all the 737-800s with the new seats. What camera do you use to film?

      @Aviation763  4 місяці тому +1

      I think it’d be okay, but I would suggest you consider other options, Cathay Pacific for example is only a tiny bit more, or Jetstar’s 787 is a fair amount less and I would consider it to be better value. I think it’d still be alright though.

    your vids are so cool but how do you get so much money for all these flights and you should so go on the Lufthansa 747 you can fly from melboune to Singapore and then on a 747-8 to Frankfurt for on $3200 for 2 people!!!

    • @Aviation763

      Thank you! I don't get that much money at all, I just spend most of my money on flights, have a supportive family and get the best deal I can. I would love to do that but $3200 is wayyyy too expensive for me to do it right now.

    You think in other continents?
    Europe and America for example!!!
    Why only Oceania and Asia?

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  4 місяці тому +1

      I will definitely review airlines in as many continents as I can, and I’m very interested in travelling to many different countries and continents. Unfortunately, travelling to continents other than Oceania and Asia is very expensive, and so I can’t do it very often because I’m pretty young and don’t have enough money to be able to travel to Europe many times a year.

    • @Aviation763
      @Aviation763  4 місяці тому +1

      Thanks for you’re concern, but I’m personally not worried about flying the MAX 8, its had a lot of issues but they’ve fixed them now from my understanding, its the MAX 9 that’s been having issues lately.

    • @MG101
      @MG101 4 місяці тому

      Not really, the 737 MAX is safer than the 707,727,747,757,767,777 and every other 737 variant (as far as I’m concerned)
