    I’ve been watching your videos for the last couple weeks now (I find them very relaxing), and after everything I’ve seen so far, I have to admit the lounge area at the San Francisco airport was quite embarrassing. It was absolutely pitiful, almost insulting, compared to all other lounges in Europe and Asia. Huge difference!
    Thanks for sharing your videos! From picture quality to editing to music selection, everything is amazing!

      Some of the lounges in JFK -- aside from Clubhouse and Delta -- are pretty lame too. Check out the lounge AlItalia uses. UGH! It was so bad we went to the Korean Air lounge using my ElitePlus status to enter. They were like: "Alitalia's lounge is just over there." We were like: "We know." lol

      America is attractive due to its nature and openness. Asian and European system are repressive, so they need to put up a show.

    Great video! To answer your question: the shoulder harness is required to prevent head strike to the seat shell in front. Inflatable seat belts perform a similar function. The decision to use a shoulder harness vs. inflatable depends on how the seat was certified.

      strflyer128 it’s just the geometry of the seat because of the oblique angle. Economy seats are forward facing and do not need the shoulder harness. Some front row economy seats do have airbags/air belts.

Like yourself, I really do prefer the 777, although I've only flown one on a few occasions domestically i.e. 777-200. It was also nice to see that they offer several types of single-malt scotch, at least with Swiss on this flight. I don't see that very often. Another great job with your video production.

    Oh, I miss Switzerland so much. You ask why the seat belts on takeoff. Well, at the risk of rattling your nerves, I'll give you just 2 of many scenarios that could eject you from your seat. A very strong crosswind could strike the plane, jolting you or even tipping the plane part way over. Or, the landing gear struts could break, tossing your face at the screen or seat in front of you. There are more I could tell you, but not with your anxiety, lol. I'm loving watching your videos. I just found you recently and have been playing one after the other for a week or so!

    9:52 Takeoffs and landings are more likely to experience sudden or unexpected movements. The more expensive shoulder belts are safer for you and the cabin than regular lap belts alone, better safety is just one of the perks of a more expensive ticket.

    There ought to be couchette-like beds available as well. Simply make two economy seat spaces available at double price. This would allow a full horizontal stretch at a price much cheaper than business while changing nothing in the plane's financials otherwise, except for a minor rearrangements of the seat mechanics.
