How Fast Does an EMPTY Airliner Takeoff?
It's rare I cover off takeoff videos on the channel these days but this really was a special one!
Upon boarding a recent flight from London's Heahthrow through to Oslo I was surprised to see that I was one of very few passengers onboard. With this little weight onboard, I just had to make sure I got the full takeoff footage recorded - stick around for one of the fastest takeoff rolls you'll see on an Airbus A320.

British Airways Club Europe 2024 Review
zhlédnutí 1,6KPřed 14 dny
In this video, we'll take a look at Europe's best short haul business class experience...in my view. All aboard a British Airways Airbus A320 from London Heathrow's terminal 3 through to Olso. It truly was a fantastic experience lately with BA. I thought the food, the service and the new wifi offering for Executive Club members was all fantastic. On this trip, I paid around £100 or so to upgrad...
Delta 2024 Economy Review
zhlédnutí 430Před měsícem
It’s been years since I’ve hopped aboard with Delta in the states but they’ve always been an airline I’ve held in a pretty high regard so I was looking forward to this one! In this review, we’ll be taking a trip from Boston down to Tampa, Florida aboard their Boeing 737 in the main cabin (Economy). All in all, it was another great experience with Delta. The main operations flowed really smoothl...
Staying at the Luxor in 2024
zhlédnutí 494Před měsícem
At long last I stayed at Las Vegas’s famous Luxor hotel! But how was it… Overall, a little bit mixed. On the plus side, the rooms were spacious, hotel location fantastic and there were lots of food/drinks outlets within a short walk. The price paid for the stay was around $90 a night which for an upgraded room, in Vegas just now is really very good. The hotel was badly let down however in part ...

LONG awaited trip this one! In this video, we’ll take to the skies with Qatar Airways aboard their Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner on a flight from Oslo, Norway through to Doha, Qatar. Overall, it was a fantastic experience both being back onboard with Qatar Airways and checking out their latest iteration of business class aboard the Dreamliner. Highlights very much included the new look and feel of th...
JetBlue Economy Class 2024 Review

Very much a journey of discovery with this one! In this video I’ll fly transatlantic between London and Boston aboard one of JetBlue’s new Airbus A321 NEO aircraft in their Economy Class. Overall, it was a pretty good experience offering what I felt good value for money for this route. In terms of highlights, the legroom was a real standout alongside a very strong catering offering. I genuinely...

Really decent experience with British Airways onboard one of their newer Airbus A350-900 aircraft on a recent flight from phoenix, Arizona through to their base at London Heathrow. In this flight, we’re at the back of the bus checking out where their long-haul economy offering has got to in 2024. Overall, I thought it was really good. The addition of the two full meal service offerings was a re...
Revealing American Airlines' BEST Economy in 2024: Main Cabin Extra
zhlédnutí 9KPřed 2 měsíci
Interesting time back aboard American Airlines checking out both their long-haul economy offering and their short-haul product on a journey from London Heahtrow through to Las Vegas. I got things kicked off aboard the American Boeing 777-200 en route to LAX, a flight lasting almost 11 hours! With a fairly average recent experience with the airline still fresh in my mind, it wasn't necessarily o...
InterContinental New York Barclay Hotel Review

In this video we'll take a look at the incredibly historic Barclay hotel by Intercontinental in New York City. Opened in 1926, the Barclay is one of New York's oldest luxury hotels now run and managed by the Intercontinental brand. The hotel combines modern luxury with those historic touches really well which combines for a great option for central NYC stays. Location wise, the hotel is a short...
Philippine Airlines Comfort Class: is it REALLY Worth it?
zhlédnutí 2,2KPřed 2 měsíci
In this video we’ll check out the Comfort Class experience with Philippines Airlines on a short hop from Manila through to Boracay. Having booked this, I really didn’t know what to expect. The website was full of promises, more than enough to go for the upgrade for me! In reality, it was ok, but not great. I’m sure on a different aircraft config it may have played slightly better. That all bein...
Henann Palm Beach 2024 Review

In this video, I'm on the stunning island of Boracay in the Philippines checking out one of the many Henann properties on the island. The Henann Palm Beach sits around station 2, very much in the heart of the Boracay action with many restaurants and bars, just a short walk along the beach in either direction from the hotel. In terms of the hotel itself, it was fanatastic. The staff did an amazi...

Food and catering def BETTER than BA. The presentation just oozes CLASS. Even tho Virgin doesn't serve a second hot meal like other transatlantic airlines, the items are several notches above the ordinary, the tea sandwich and Macarons. Again, spells class
Agreed completely real class and style I think is what comes across with Virgin. Would love to try their upper class offering at some stage also!
Thank for the great video! So there are no automated window shades? That is a real pain in the ass when sun rises in the morning, isn't it?
You’re very welcome! Yeah so, you do see these on Airbus aircraft from time to time, especially in the premium cabins. Would recommend a good eye mask just in case some remain open!
Greeting from Canada! Just discovered this channel and your camera work and presentation is so calm and well sorted👌
Thanks so much, great to have people tuning in all the way from Canada 🇨🇦
BA is a terrible airline overall, I wouldn't even compare them to someone like Singapore
Singapore for sure the better carrier however, BA very much on the up
Nice resort with a beautiful beach view 👍🏻.
Sure is! Can’t wait to go back to Boracay 😃
Much better American Airlines from lhr one of largest destination in uk andEurope
Turkish airlines airlines is personally for me the best airline we go on it so much and it is one of our favorites
I see so many great comments about them, very much looking forward to featuring them again on a longer trip into the future on the channel!
Much worse than Southwest airlines because no Air Conditions,
Assume you’re referring to a single incident? 🤦♂️
And you just know the pilots are having a good time
Haha absolutely!
You certainly didn't need to use much of the 3,902m available to you on runway 27R. You shot up into the sky like a pocket rocket. Nice footage, thanks for uploading this video.
Yeah too true! Did quite enjoy the power going down before breaks release, saving every last scrap of runway ha Glad you enjoyed it!
So this is like a private jet only for you 😅. Nice.
Haha almost! I’ve never seen such an empty aircraft 😃
@@Travelsbydreamer 🙂😀.
Nice mate, will look even better when you get the wind angle lens so we can see all of the engine! :D
Hahaha, new camera coming right up!
4:23 Happy Birthday 🥳🤠
Thank you! 😃
Enjoyed your video has I might be flying DFW-HEL on Finnair (using my American Airline loyalty points/or whatever they called that, lol). If that flight has premium economy, i may pay for the upgrade just for the space but I'm 5'6"so I sleeping in an economy seat isn't a problem for me. Too bad for economy travelers, Finnair is not longer providing pillows in economy. Thanks for the tour!
You’re very welcome! Always good to get a reward flight, premium economy sounds very wise for that length of flight too. Legroom wise, as you say economy would be fine however, you’ll find with the recline and general seat comfort, you should be able to sleep that bit better in PE. Safe flight!
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم اللهم صل وسلم على نبينا محمد
If you want ur nuts squashed lololol.
Waste of time They put to the test when something happens, True colors will come out So waste time in posting these videos
For further clarification, these are actually older seats (the Safran Z300 is the seat model you see in this short) which received new seat covers and an updated IFE system. The actual new seat however is the one which is on refurbished A330s and newly delivered A350 (the HACEO Vector is the seat model)
You should compare SQ to QR from both alliance. BA doesn’t belong to the same league with SQ In my opinion, QR business class is a league above SQ, but SQ first class is superior than both BA and QR
Would be a great comparison one day, keen to fly more with SQ. Watch this space however with BA, they’re on the up
Such a nice well detailed flight review. Would love to have more of it ✨
Thanks so much! Goodness, that was a while back that one now. Loads more on the channel with new vids each week, enjoy!
Most definitely will be going to the Philippines for the first time later this year and will be staying at that hotel🏆 only thing i don’t like is it doesn’t have a rooftop swimming pool. But that’s fine
It’s such a fab destination. Pool wise, not rooftop but it is raised a few floors at least :)
I prefer Singapore airlines tho ...
I think they’re for sure a big step up but so often a very different price point!
❤There service Qatar airways
Likewise!
The chart doesn't show the wings. How to avoid seats on the wings? Thank you.
Great question, I’d recommend seat guru for a wing overview, they’re subtle there but you can see the wings.
@@Travelsbydreamer Thank you.
May I ask why to avoid the wings? I thought that was the most stable part of the plane.
@@teachermichelle9632 people generally avoid them as on larger aircraft, they block the view quite substantially :)
@@teachermichelle9632 It's just that I record everything on my phone. Now that you and @Travelsbydreamer told me the advantage of it I will book those seats in the future 🙂.
How early one can select the seat numbers? Some airlines allow four months before the journey. How is it possible? Earlier airlines used to allow only 24 hours early. I missed all good seats for the upcoming journey. Are middle seats comfortable? Which seats face more turbulence?
Typically upon booking you can with any airline however, depending on status, this often comes at a cost. With BA my can select at any time with gold or silver status, with bronze you can choose 7 days before and with all other ticket types,I think it’s only on check in. Turbulence wise, I’d recommend a seat on the wing for the smoothest ride :)
@@Travelsbydreamer Thank you. Good information. I will check seat guru now onwards.
@@Travelsbydreamer I will now onwards select seats that are on wings 😅.
@@keepontravelling if you have a dislike of turbulence I’d say that’s probs it a good bet. I always find the tail area to be worse also!
@@Travelsbydreamer Thank you. I will try to book those seats now onwards. I will check your channel's all videos one by one 🙂.
First one to watch 🙂.
Legend!
@@Travelsbydreamer😀😀
Looking very nice.😊
Sure was! 😃
Hi. Thank you for this detailed review 🙏. Im flying BA club europe in September with my other half. Do you know if the middle tray can be moved in any way?
You’re very welcome! Yeah, I’m sure it can, purely because the European business class model is all about flexibility in that they can push the curtain back and slap on a couple of middle trays and hey presto, sell more business class tickets so as result, I’d imagine they’re pretty quick to dispose of if you wanted that closeness. Have a fab flight :)
Is this near to train station and malls?
It was the most brief of stays sadly so not too sure. The sukhimvit area in general is very well served with everything you’d typically need. I just took grab taxis around which was ideal. The hotel is near some of the best night life spots also in the city
Can you use wireless headphones on these planes for the inflight entertainment
Unsure just now but don’t think so, it’s something I’m going to start looking at as part of reviews as aware airlines have started offering it. Hopefully one of my amazing viewers can help out in the comments!
Came here to ask the same thing. Flying from Cape Town to Heathrow with my hubby and sons and need to prepare for the kids.
@@teachermichelle9632 hopefully someone can advise, safe travels!
❤there service onboard on Qatar airways Me and my mom got upgraded from economy to business ❤the crew and the food
Lucky you! It really is fantastic 😃
So good❤
Sure is!
qatar airlines business class price is not competitive... and they also charge extra on seat selection ..
It has varied significantly post Covid and largely has been pretty expensive. Does depend massively route to route however. I recently flew with them and got a phenomenal deal so there’s definitely good fares out there. Thankfully with status, that gets passengers around having to pay. Regretfully, paying for advanced seat selection is pretty standard now in the industry…even in business class 😔
Delta could really learn a thing or two from their partner Virgin Atlantic. Last flight I had with them was in premium select and they served dinner in cardboard boxes. It was on a flight from MSP to LHR. I was shocked to be honest considering in the past when I was in premium select they had real dinnerware. Also wine was served in a plastic cup, like the cheap crap you buy at Walmart and you get like 100 cups for a few bucks. There was nothing premium about that experience whatsoever.
Good god, that sounds horrendous! I’m keen to do more of the US carriers in their premium cabins for the channel but your comment for sure hasn’t inspired me! 😅
@@Travelsbydreamer it was! Don't get me wrong the seating was very nice and actually has better leg support as the seat had a leg rest instead of the tacky footrest most if not all Virgin planes have. But when I pay considerably more for premium vs main cabin I expect an upgrade with the meal service too. I now try to avoid Delta and take Virgin Atlantic if possible. Especially now that they've overhauled (downgraded) their loyalty program. In the past if I took two premium select flights I'd have enough points to get silver status whereas now I'd have to get 4 or 5 of those flights
@@behnambabaknia6843 sounds interesting with the seats, I’ll have to give them a try and see how they perform. Agreed, the soft product matters so much, that’s where sadly, Finnair fall down also despite an excellent seat…
The best review I’ve seen so far, very informative and helpful. Thank you 🙏🏻 I’ll give JetBlue a try 👍
Thanks so much, so glad it was useful 😃
Here’s a question I still can’t work out the answer to. If you’ve gold or silver status. Would you rather have club Europe or extra legroom exit seat in economy? If you are doing a flight of say less than 90 mins?
That’s a really good one! I feel a little 50/50. Tbh, just for the benefit of getting off first the front row CE probably best and with that you get the leg room also. I like the service onboard and the drinks etc. So perhaps just about CE if front row otherwise, I do tend to go economy for the exit row and awful lot then enjoy the club benefits off the aircraft :)
Very helpful review,thanks!
So glad to hear!
Nice Video! 2:28 min. Where the red seats the preferred seats?
Thank you! Airlines often do this but on this one, I think it was just to mix up the colour scheme a little bit to add some additional interest to the vibe in the cabin.
Hi Rich, I have been planning on a Finnair PE trip, but got here via your Finnair review and found it super-helpful. Thanks mate 👍
Always great to hear! Safe travels ✈️
First timer for club europe here. I noted on the t3 BA lounge it said "by invitation only" assuming if youre in club europe for your flight that counts as the invite?
Yes, absolutely. They’ll often tell you where the relevant lounge is at the check in desks.
Looks a really good experience, the refreshed lounge at T3 looked very comfortable ' It's certainly about time that BA updated the 2 main lounges at T5 a few new chairs and tables isn't a upgrade, its nice when a flight operates with only a few passengers. Many years ago I flew back from Washington DC with Virgin on a A340-600 there were less than 70 passengers on board ! Not sure I would if compared take off with a shuttle considering 2 exploded on launch 😉, But as ever a great review
With you all the way on the T5 lounges, such a shame. The new chairs are such a sticking plaster - they’re massively over subscribed at the moment also. Washington flight sounds ideal I do love those! Fair point also about the space shuttle! 😅 Thanks so much - see you in another one soon!
If you remember but was there any bluetooth compatiblity with the entertainment system?
Not at all sure, sorry! It’s something I’m going to start checking as aware airlines have now started to offer this which makes so much sense.
@@Travelsbydreamer no worries, just asking so i know if i need to pack a bluetooth adapter with me for the flight in 2 weeks. thanks anyways
@@ovtroll1199 no probs, have a great trip!
Which Aircraft is this? What about the rest room? Sorry i am traveling 22 hrs soon so checking here.
This was the 777-300 from memory
Please mention terminal details also. And if one has a connecting flight how much time it takes to go from point A to point B. P I get confused with first class lounges. It makes me think this is included in PE 😀.
Generally leave that out as only ever relevant to the airport I’m travelling out from. I’ve got a more recent, longer review from T5. More to follow soon and safe upcoming trip!
Which aircrafts have too much turbulence? I got 3 787 9 and only one airbus in my future journey 🙄. Thnk u.
Wouldn’t say any, they’re all pretty good!
@@Travelsbydreamer Good to hear that 🙂.
Which terminal is this? Are terminals connected? Like 3 & 5? How long does it take to go to and fro? Thnx.
This was T5, you can use the intra terminal bus from memory but there should be lots of info online about connections etc :)
@@Travelsbydreamer Thank you. I will check on their website.
Hi, Your videos are very superior quality. If it's ok can you tell what equipment do you use? And do people come to know that you are recording your journeys? Thank you.
Thanks! Mostly Apple products but that could well change into the future! In terms of the recording element, I’m usually on before most passengers then don’t record much work people in shot. The crew are quite wise to people vlogging these days also as so many people do it. Airlines such as Qantas have begun introducing restrictions within this space also around filling crew and passengers faces etc
Love the space shuttle analogy and then the immediate visit to the toilet, ha-ha!!!. He simpers and smirks and makes love to us all (Jane Austin I think?) and yet you still turn out a damned good report...Oh dear, not enough Schweppes in my Tanqueray!!! That bathroom was stained and crusty and a total shock for any class of travel..typical BA leaving everything till it needs desperately fixing/changing/upgrading. European business seating suits only the airlines, not the passengers but for most European short haul it's tolerable I guess, only if the price is right. Fever Tree indeed....the dernier-cri in mixers.
Haha thankfully toilet visit wasn’t as result of the take off roll 😂 Just has to be fever tree doesn’t it, such a touch of class about it, especially when from the glass bottles! Toilets looking their age for sure! Lots more from BA coming soon, including their first cabin 😃
Is it a flat bed in business class? Thanks
Not on the narrow bodied aircraft type sadly. Seat was really modern and comfortable however so wouldn’t have been too hard to sleep in for me but not on the same level as a fully flat bed for sure :)
Thank you
