What do consider is the best plane and service to fly in economy class

Do you maybe know if there is a phone charging point in the economy class?

Thank you, the best detailed report of Qatar Lounge. I had a great time there last May. Also had a fantastic flight delay there, which I stayed more than 5 hours 😂, took a shower and a short nap. A comprehensive report, great job.

I fly BKK - Phuket - BKK with Thai few months ago. I felt lucky that on the first flight we got A350, however, on the return flight we got this super old and outdate 777-200. 🙄it how we see two biggggg different in their fleet.😅 And few days ago I got on the flight from Hong Kong to BKK also operated with this 777-200. After the flight I recieved "Thank you" email and the survey link, I provided some feedback to them. I think Thai Airways better get rid of all of their 777-200 already, after all pandemic and bankrubt recovering and stuff, they bring back few 777-200. its like the black-sheap in their fleet.

Such a nice flight review, this Thai airways 777-200 reminds me the beautiful and nostalgic thai airways planes that are sadly retired due to obsolescence and economic rationale. Would love to have many more such flight reviews ❤😊

Only complaint I have , is distracting background music while you were talking. Getting hard of hearing in old age spoils what would be a interesting trip.

I flew Qatar on 4 legs. The variable / changeable product is too much. I loved q suite but ultimately if I stick to Emirates a380 routes, business class is unbeatable

This was a wonderful, very entertaining review. Thanks so much.

Est-ce que tu à fait le A380 de thaï Airways ?

Thanks as always for your informative and amusing commentary. I've flown Thai business medium haul twice in the past two years, once in a plane like yours (772) to Dhaka, and once a couple of months ago on an A359 to Lahore. I thought the service was great both times, and the food good, and the drink OK. But the A359 hard product was so much better. The experience at Suvarnabhumi was also good, apart from having a bit of trouble finding the business check-in; but from there it was very fast straight through security to the rather nice lounge. Thai are obviously not on a par with the real industry leaders, but they're still pretty good. I'm looking forward to your videos about the rest of the trip.

You should fly their domestic flights, straight up ghetto in a 3/3/3 config with the most basic interior you can get.

Where's the food review?

The chicken Mandi at Al Safwa was so good!

There is nothing standing out for TG anymore. It is a mediocre airlines with average hard and soft products. Only stuck in the past and leech on the image of national airlines of Thailand. No more outstanding services and proudly represent cultures, falling behind in every ways and still cannot find its way out. Every airlines are international public companies abide by international standards and laws so when you compare, it should be compare to other quality airlines that do well not just boasting itself of the meager profit that come and go.

Impressed lounge, especially quiet area and facial service ( it's the first time I know about facial service in lounge). Last Jun., I was at CDG in Qatar brand new premium lounge(T1), extremely luxury but food was so so, due to middle east food. I would rather to have French food in France than Middle Eastern food. Thank you for your detailed report and speak as quietly as possible. (So considerate)

Do a narration with dubbing. Other customers who pay for their trip with money, want to be at peace and enjoy their trip. Even anti-noise headphones do not filter the voice.

Let me start by explaining that Thai airways 777-200 is actually very old so things on the plane are old to. But to compare the other aircraft's such as A350 or B787 have more new stuff ❤

Thank you for your report! Since the incident with the deadhead pilots in 2018, I have been boycotting Thai Airways. Long haul, Thai Airways is too expensive with only mediocre service. The only advantage is that they are the only carrier offering non-stop BRU-BKK flights from my country of residence, but that doesn't outweigh all the disadvantages. For domestic flights in Thailand, Bangkok Airways stands head and shoulders above the rest.

Great review. I'd like to take part in your mask drawing

Great report, Chris!! Often when the aircraft is so run down cosmetically, you really have to wonder about overall maintenance of the company. Is safety being compromised at all?? 😧 Or do I just worry too much. Safe travels, sir!!

Great video Chris ! Yes that carpet really does need changing.

You’re all over the place. Trying to understand what you were trying to say

Thank you, Chris, another very true report. This aircraft makes your voyage back to the '80😅.

Such a great video, looking forward to all your other trips around Asia!

I am currently in Bali. To get here, I flew on a Boeing 777-300 ANA “The Room” for 13 hours from JFK to Haneda. Then I flew on a ANA Boeing 787 Business Class to Jakarta. Then a Garuda 737-800 from Jakarta to Denpasar. The room business class was fantastic. I was very comfortable for the entire duration of the trip. I will also be very comfortable when I return home. The Boeing 787 had a 2X2 layout and I hated it. Even though I had both seats to myself, the seats were so narrow. It says if they were designed against large people with big arms. Very difficult for me to get comfortable. The Garuda was the worst of all. Not only was it. It’s small jet, but the business class was only 2 x 2 and the chairs were visibly dirty and old. It’s exactly what you’d expect from a smaller airline using older planes. No LCD display, no inflate entertainment. That is passable simply because the flight is less than two hours, but it didn’t feel like “business class”. It felt like a “premium economy”. Flying nowadays, tends to be terrible unless you fly an upgraded class so that you get adequate leg space, shoulder room, and art right on top of the next person. I definitely prefer the Airbus A380 and A350 1x2x1 configuration.

Travel from ahmedabad to 24:19 melbourne in buisness class very nice hosptality good service...exellent work...proud to be indian

Since last year til january 2024 i had no problem most of the times to go to t3, but now they r very strickt and dont allow it anymore. Such a pitty. Have u also expirienced that?

How did u end up in terminal 4 when u depart from t5?

Thank you so much for your video. Incredibly helpful. 🎉

Dera Chris, I have made my mind to visit India and take the train. Just because of the feet and your look, I can't help but keep laughing.😅😅😅 They seem as comfortable as at home. I have watched a lot of videos about traveling in India. But, from your point of view, its the best.😊😊

I just flew Finnair Bangkok to Sydney business class. The worst business class seat I have ever experienced. You cant recline the seat and the flight was shocking. Incredibly uncomfortable. Avoid at all costs.

Even they are not the best, Starlux is definitely one of the best. The service is impeccable. Tried their business class on A350 for short haul. Really wanna try the one on long haul if I have chance.

oh, the unpleasant flashbacks to seeing the HK-Macau bridge from the air! 💀😬 i lived in HK for a few years, and am not particularly a Macau fan, but would always take the ferry when i visited, instead of using that bridge. i completely understand why it's empty - it scares the living sh*t out of me! it's just so long and so exposed, no matter how presumably well built - and permits notwithstanding, i think it's far too much for the average psyche to deal with. thank you very much for the video, and i hope you had a wonderful rest after so much drama🌻

I am booked for ANA’s “The Room” on my upcoming trip to Bali. It’s a 13 hour flight from NYC to Haneda. Then we fly to Jakarta. Finally, Bali. Later I’ll be on KLM Business Class from Bali to Singapore. When I go to BORA BORA 🇵🇫 , I’ll be on a 787. I really am not excited about the Boeing aircraft. Thanks for another great vlog!

The only time an airline can update a cabin is during a "D level" overhaul which only happens every few years, so yeah the upgrades will be strung out over the fleet. And if they know they're going to replace that plane in a couple of years, they may not bother at all.

Kusa mochi (草餅, lit. "herb mochi"), also known as kusamochi or yomogi mochi (蓬餅), is a Japanese sweet. It is made from mochi and leaves of yomogi, also known as Japanese mugwort. Because Japanese mugwort is kneaded into the mochi, kusa mochi takes on a vivid green color.

Welcome to Hongkong ☺️

Ewwww Chris, That green 'thing' looked and sounded like something you secretly have removed from a buttock after visiting a dodgy sauna.......................just my take on it!

I think the word you were looking for was "dated" I agree

It's an airline with a dramatic story. We name the story "Prince's Revenge"(Hamlet, by William Shakespeare ). Thank you to bring me to the inside look. Though I don't have a chance to fly with it recently, due to they don't fly Europe where is my favorite continental.

I don't think I could've slept on the bench either, even with all the legroom.^^

Your English is great, btw. You pronounced mugwort correctly.

4:50 😅😅😅a whole flat is yours all nigjt, nice. But the trip and delay you must be extremely tired. Again, a wonderful report, and thank you for connecting all the story.

Oh, so I've watched all your English videos, I think! Liked all of them!😊 But now I'm afraid I'll have to endure withdrawal. 😰 (Too bad I forgot most of the German I learnt at school.😞)

I like that Lufthansa is doing the collectible thing, but a nylon bag just seems cheap in comparison to the other airlines... They could have done something a little nicer

Oh no, hit by crazy motorcycle, it's been 2 months, are you OK NOW!!!❤

How are the foot hole space for double seats by the window?

Great report, nice to see the comparison with your great commentary.
