MEA - Middle East Airlines A321neo Flight to Lebanon
Вставка
- Опубліковано 3 жов 2024
- I flew on one of the oldest airlines in the Middle East - MEA, Middle East Airlines from Dubai to Beirut.
The flight is operated by MEA’s new A321neo. Follow captain Maxim on the takeoff from the cockpit. Check out MEA’s in-flight offering and what’s it like to fly onboard. Before landing, enjoy a spectacular approach into Beirut Int’l Airport.
After landing, I went plane spotting around Beirut Airport. Watching a few MEA A320 and A330 takeoffs. Lebanon’s economic crisis is obvious, as there is no stable electricity supply. No traffic lights and very little light in the city at night. The difference between the official and black market exchange rates is almost 20 times. It is certainly cheaper for tourists to visit but can Lebanon survive the current economic crisis?
Next week, I will share more experiences as a tourist in Lebanon and whether the country is safe to visit. I flew out of Beirut on a MEA A330-200.

For a place going through extreme hyperinflation, the folks are still friendly. What an amazing flight and tour of Beirut.
People are on the edge, there are full of worries but yet they are capable of showing visitors of their great hospitality. Great resilient people.
@@SamChui They had such bad luck, terrible economy, corrupt politicians and to top it of a huge explosion that damaged a large part of the city. But adversity often brings the best out of people.
It's amazing how they haven't collapsed yet...
you know Sam's family basically exploited from Chinese people for his luxurious living in childhood?
I have been traveling for long long time with lots of different airlines I have to admit MEA was the best one the best airlines I have been with honestly ❤️
Most beautiful cabin crew in the world!!
No matter what Lebanon goes threw it will always survive and to see what it’s going threw right now it still has a amazing air line and I’m proud for it to be my country
The captain nailed the landing. Just beautiful.
your stewardess on the A321NEO was absolutely gorgeous
Love Lebanon. I really hope they are going back on track. Beirut always in my heart.
Amazing people living through very tough times with humor, grace, and kindness. I wish them only the best. Shalom, Salam!
Really impressive considering the economic crisis the country is going through, little indication of cost-cutting infringements on customer experience. A real credit to the institution.
MEA is my favorite airline by far! CREW is amazing, their service is amazing, their planes are well maintained and, man... I have been to their training facilities.... Simply Amazing. My hopes are MEA will survive and thrive!
Thank you Mr sam chui for visiting Beirut. It was a great experience to watch your channel
It’s great that there’s such a good airline in Lebanon as MEA. This video confirmes that it can not only survive, but also remain one of the best airlines in Asia. Thanks for this amazing tripreport Sam 👍
Oh yes
MEA is always a survivor and provides a lifeline to the country during the war. I really hope for the best for both MEA and Lebanon!
Used to have a380s
@@SamChui yes!
Oldest and well established airline in the Middle East.. Lebanese Air Liban, cedars wings.. always impressed by their resilience, hospitality and unique service
leabenon is a very beautiful country my father used to tell me about it and how he lived for 5 years in Beirut. and how it was fascinating back in the 60s
It is still a very beautiful country by the Med sea! After all it had gone through, it makes it more interesting for the curious driven visitor like myself.
Be strong Lebanese friends! We love your country 🇱🇧
And great video Sam
Thank You 🇱🇧🙏
There are twenty (20) times more Lebanese people live outside Lebanon.
For instance, ten (10) times more Lebanese in Brazil than in Lebanon. Just saying.
Thank you dear for your support
Thanks champ 🙏
Thank you 😔
cant have enough of beirut !!!!!! lebanon IS AMAZING
Wow! Totally impressed with this MEA Airline. Very admirable cabin crew onboard, and they seem to be top-notch professionals. Not only is this an amazing video, but the audio editing and equalization could win an award or something.
The airline is actually beautiful but the lebanese ppl are racist curious and opportunist am talking out of experience as am a mixed race of both lebanese and sierra Leonean descent whenever I go to Lebanon I face racist situations in fact I've vowed not to go there any more!!! Most of people of colour like me suffer the same situations
@@sawsanshamel2330 as a lebanese-palestinian american I dont appreciate your generalization of my people. It is very unfortunate that you had to experience the prejudice that you faced in Lebanon, however those few interactions does not mean you can group all of us together and label us as racist etc.. If that was the case then you should consider labeling every other race/ethnic group as "racist" because I am sure many people have had bad interactions in every area of the world.
@@ramsey55 well let me rephrase let me say most of them I experienced these situations since almost my childhood and its really traumatising and am sure most mixed race like me are experiencing the same issues yes racism does exist anywhere in the world but at least there is a law that will intervene like for instance in Europe if you make any racist allegations you'll face prosecution and sometimes prison but in Lebanon it's totally different
go spread your hate somewhere else and stop generalizing millions of people in one educated statement
@@mirak3050 Its not about hate it's my own humble opinion it's what I've experienced and i believe millions of mixed race lebanese went through that nevertheless some lebanese are nice. I presume you are purely lebanese if you were a half caste am sure your opinion will have been different
Beirut is awesome! mea is great! god bless Lebanon
Thank you dear for your wish
My friend Mark's dad was from Lebanon, he would talk about the earthquakes how you could be the phone with someone and they say an earthquake has begun, meanwhile it would take another 30sec to 1mintue before you feel the earthquake yourself depending on how far apart you were. Like an early warning system, but person to person. Thanks for highlighting what Lebanon is going through and the beautiful resourceful people they are.
Brilliant video about MEA. Lebanon 🇱🇧 is so beautiful. Thanks Sam.
I appreciate sam trying all of types of airlines and showing us all the hidden jems of airlines
A beautiful country and people, MEA flight attendants always elegant, I feel so sorry for the Lebanese people, they have endured so much for so long, the old paint job looks great again.
i’m also going to libanon …there people are very friendly and very nice miss the moment ❤️❤️❤️
I love Lebanon.. one of my favourite destination hands down!
I visited Lebanon four times. First in 1996 six years after the end of civil war and Beirut was destroyed. I spent a lot of time in the countryside. As a travel agent MEA offered me a discount of 75 per cent. Thank you to the arline 🙏😉Then I returned for arabic courses and holidays. Lebanon is beautiful and I am sad for so many struggles. Lebanese are so nice and do not deserve what they are facing now. Thank you for the video.
Been to Beirut 3 times last time was in 2001. Turkish Airlines from Manchester to Istanbul and had a layover!!! Then Turkish to Beirut. The last time was with British Airways ....the flight had come from Damascus, and as we took off from Beirut the stewardess had just come from the flight deck as the pilot rotated! Had to catch the stewardess and pull her to the seat beside me. Chateau musar is a lovely full bodied red from the Bekka valley. Lot of good wine from there
Thanks for a great video Sam! I’m a Lebanese expat and it hurts to see Lebanon hurting from far away. The amount of tourists who made the trip this year is a sunshine we needed in this dark tunnel. You’ll always be welcome in Beirut. Enjoy it!
thank you for coming to Lebanon 🇱🇧❤️🛐🙏 I hope you enjoyed my country very much 🇱🇧❤️🥰✈️✈️
Lebanon always finds itself going through hell. a shame for such a beautiful country.
Hey STOP TALKING TRASH ABOUT MY COUNTRY OR I WILL REPORT YOU
@@Roy202he wasn’t talking trash he was just feeling bad for the condition and was praising it
That is Iran’s effect
That what happens when You let Iranians rule your country
@@ogaeryI don't think so, all generalities are false, get educated!
Sam, wow! What a wonderful perspective. Thank you so much for helping to share the world about Lebanon! It was a big pleasure showing you around.
I haven’t flown on MEA since I lived in Kuwait in the early 1970s. Your video brought tears of nostalgia to my eyes. I so wish the best to the people of Lebanon. You were my favorite place to visit as a child.
Wow, this looks and feels really great ! Beautiful plane, interior and air hostess!!
This is actually a very good video and the flight attendants seem all to be friendly and helpful.
Great video with an amazing flight and tour of Beirut. People there very friendly.
Thank you Sam for visiting mea hope you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🇱🇧
Hi Sam, amazing work. Thank you for introdcuing us to MEA. Just beautiful cabin crew members; I want to fly MEA just to meet one. Thank upi again for opening up the Middle East. I sill love your first video from Sydney to Singpapore on the A380, having been served a coconut on dry-ice. Cheers...Keep flying.
sam is really inspiring to me because of how excited he gets about the simple things in life, like the tail design. love the channel and love the vibe, inspirational really.
Lebanon people have a beautiful country bt they’ve faced a lot of problems I wish them to recovery financial crisis. Thanks sam for showing this incredible videos.
Allah loves you friend...
That's shocking! Hope the economic situation gets resolved!
@Don Smith Hezbollah, damn them
Sam everywhere on these flights... sam probably got fly miles like whoa! ✈✈
That food selection for the short flight was amazing.
I'm from Lebanon and I love this thanks so much for the entertainment sam
Hey Sam . I’m Lebanese. I go on that airline every time when I’m going to Lebanon . Such a good airline. The breakfast is good .
It was absolutely amazing landing.. cheers
Wow. Inspiring. I wish the best of recoveries for Lebanon soon.
Sam. That was great! You always bring out the best in people, a rare talent in this day and age! This was one of your best!
What a wonderful video Sam. Beyond your introduction to MEA, I also really enjoyed the little bit of Beirut that you were able to show me. Thank You!!
I’m impressed by MEA post Covid
Great vlog as always Sam
I live in Beirut, the city is amazing and is SO underrated. I love it and in m opinion everyone should try it!
Your trip journey was amazing sir. I always love your channel. I love your explanation of every detail of aircraft, including the Service
Ahh 😌 Lebanon! My country. I love this place and it’s like a part of me❤ whatever it goes through, it is still standing and is beautiful 😊
Very nice report/video again Sam! What a beautiful (short) flight full of quality. What an extremely beautiful and friendly flight attendant, silky soft landing from the captain. Thanks for making another nice video. MEA go for it!
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
I love Lebanon!!!! Amazing place.
Out of all the airlines I’ve been on, MEA food is the best. For a three hour flight I’ve never been so stuffed full of food
Wow 37 minutes after premier!!! Good job bizzle!! Thanks Sam
it was amazing knowing that you came to Visit us! My dad is also a pilot in MEA! And I really like your videos!
when crew's service become beautiful Airlines becomes beautiful..Hope this airlines is kind of that..
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!
Can we talk about that skyline 😳 it’s pretty massive
But not electricity (¬_¬ )
MEA have been around for a long time. Service seems good and nice to see them with new aircraft. I look forward to part 2. 🛫
It's a big pleasure mr sam to have you in Lebanon and trying the mea
The Flight attendant serving you is just stunning
your flight attendant was absolutely beautiful!
I’ve been waiting such a long time for you to fly with MEA, thanks so much!!
You’re the best trip reporter! Amazing choice choosing MEA!!😍
Limoncilo! Food looked amazing 👍
I’ve flown many times to Beirut; MEA has always done a good job. The only complaint I have is their food selection never changed. It was always very good and enough, just always the same thing. And the flight attendants were always friendly (and beautiful)
Loved this video of mea and Lebanon sam . Watching this makes me look forward to going in September even more now ❤️
Very nice video Sam it’s great to see a Lebanese middle eastern carrier bring such great hospitality and food.
Sam, thanks for this amazing video and what a lovely crew of MEA, they made a great impression on me.
I flew with the neo from Athens to Beirut last winter and it was a great experience. So clean and the staff was friendly.
Great video. I've always wanted to visit Lebanon, being of part Lebanese heritage, myself. I'm looking forward to your other videos in Lebanon.
Mea Airlines one from the best airlines that I use ❤️
What an amazing airline but what a sad state for the country. Constant interference from other regional and international countries has turned this amazing country into rubble. I hope the resilience, beauty, and warmth of its amazing people help Lebanon find its way back to economic and social prosperity! Best wishes from India.
What an amazing country!
mea is one of the most historic airlines in the middle east. the are good
Loved every minute of this video Sam
Thanks
I am thrilled you went to Lebanon, I have a very good friends that are from there. Their daughter attends the American University there. They have told me about the power issues and the long wait for gas too. But, I will share this video with them, I know they will be thrilled. Love your vlogs,
Great food, hospitality and gorgeous women, what else do you need on a flight. I hope Lebanon will overcome its issues, it’s one of the few places I would like to visit at some point in the future if it’s even possible for me to do so given the US is suffering it’s own issues
Given how unfortunate things have turned out for its parent country, I still hope MEA continue to fly , they have always offered something different than the rest , always friendly, and more importantly never lost my luggage
You have chosen a very good hotel ..My niece works there and tells me the hotel is equipped with 3 generators, so no worry about power failure.I also live next to the hotel.I'm a fan of all your videos.Enjoy your moments in Lebanon Sam
Thanks for highlighting the airline of my country in such a lovely way. It is indeed the best airline out there.
A great review. I'm totally surprised that somebody like you Sam has not had limoncello....it's the best beverage.
Thanks for this video, never knew Lebanon had an Airline and great to see scenes from there, very informative about the economy, for the peoples sake I hope this situation gets fixed quickly, Thanks again Sam
Inchallah 🇱🇧🙏
