  • We flew on Royal Jordanian’s flagship Boeing 787-8 Aircraft from London Heathrow to Amman, Jordan in our latest cabin comparison! Liam got to try out Crown Class (business) while Nicky was seated back in economy.

    I love the way you time the crew to see how fast they respond to the call button. I live in Canada and with air Canada and air Canada rouge, you press the call button and literally they try to avoid you and if you ask them for a coffee or water, they give you dirty looks. 10sec, 1min, 1/2hr, 4 hr, landed, still no one shows up 😂😂😂

    A tip for the 787, if your flying in economy, go for the last two rows, the window seat is missing due to the curvature of the plane so there's more room.

    Jordan is a country I've thought about visiting & RJ does seem like a decent airline. I'm an Amex fan but if I went for 1 of their charge cards I'd most likely stick with the green because the annual fees for the higher ones are crazy. Even when factor in the perks.

    Love TPG Uk - however when you review economy you almost always never have anyone sitting next to you and you are never in the middle of a center 3 or 4 seat row surround by other passengers. I think this would be a more a realistic reflection of the actual experience in economy IMO. I have flown 12 transatlantic flights this year and every single flight was fully booked so I think you should consider this as the perceptions can be extremely different to the reality. Hope you all have a very merry Christmas!
