Mate, you have by far the most elegant videography of any of the travel channels. Just a rich experience overall to watch. You should have multiple thousands of subscribers !
Sam Chui is far better in my opinion.
Who’s filming them? Just curious, but somebody is filming them after passport control. A little weird.
Sam is a sellout. No point in he's content.
I can assure you that no one else is there with us.
and by the way I was so sorry to see you had the migraine but bravely made the most of it. @@flytoptiermedia
As an Etihad employee myself, I felt proud to watch this video.
Your attention to detail and videography is exceptional, as always.. I watched every second of it, and thoroughly enjoyed it. When creating content, things don't go exactly as planned sometimes, but rest assured, your viewers understand and appreciate the experience regardless.
I'm confident that this YT channel will quickly surpass your previous one in subscriber numbers, and wish you good luck in creating more videos. Cheers, friend.
Marcel is one of the only guys that can make the onboard safety video a cinematic experience
Clearly a gentleman who has a phd from finishing school well done nice to see class these days!!!!
I just found your channel randomly and I must say that this is the classiest flight review I’ve seen so far. Everything was edited and narrated very tastefully and is a pleasure for my eyes and ears. Well done and you absolutely earned my sub.
Great to hear.
This is less of a video and more of an "experience"! Stunning filming. Etihad really are a wonderful airline which I've flwon many times; it was very sad when the A380s were discontinued (I was worried they'd never return) but thankfully they have. I love the Business class cabin but am yet to try First on the A380.
Both are excellent products. First Class has the added space and privacy and is definitely a step up.
Your videos never disappoint, I'm sorry to hear about your migraine that couldn't have been easy to deal with. Hope you both enjoyed your time here in London. Safe travels.
Thanks. I recovered in time for the return flight!
The amount of time and effort put into your videos is beyond impressive, Marcel.
Finally Marcel. You kept us waiting ...as always top notch!
I've been waiting for this video for a while. I've been waiting for a video without all of the false excitement of your typical run of the mill travel influencer. This is an excellent video. You forget it's just one guy for the cinematography.
Still Marcel executes this 1000x better than what we normally see here on YT.
Thank you for taking us along this memorable experience on Etihad. This is beyond everything I‘ve seen on my travels around the world so far and I‘m glad to see the A380, the most comfortable and luxurious commercial aircraft, is finally back in service! 🤩 As always, your dedication to detail is remarkable and is something you don‘t see anywhere else on CZcams. Keep up the fantastic work Marcel!
Absolutely superb - the new benchmark for flight reviews.
As a First time watcher and now subscriber I am blown away with the presentation of the video...I cannot wait to join you on your future adventures
Welcome aboard! Much more to come.
No words !! Truly worth the long wait. It’s such a breathtaking video. Easily one of best travel channels on CZcams !!
Outstanding cinematography, music, storytelling… a masterpiece!! ✈️😎💯
Where have you been ? We’ve missed your cinematic flight reports. Simply outstanding from start to finish. Etihad (and all other major airlines) should hire you and Ashira for all their marketing. It would be a stroke of genius
Glad that you have posted a video after some time, keep the videos coming.
Beautiful Video! Insane how much work is put into every single one of these
Marcel, what can I say: pristine! - keep the videos coming; we'll gladly support you, mate. 🚀
A pleasure to watch. Thank you for your dedication to the quality of the video and the sharing your experience.
I have never seen a travel video at this videography level! Really impressed channel must be bigger!! keep up the great work, I've recently experienced Business for the first time, FIRST is still way to goo!!
Glad your back ! Wonderful report never a dull minute
Excellent as always Marcel, beautiful video
Wow, this video is absolutely amazing! Great work!! awesome content! perfect filming, good music. Everything perfect!!!
For migraines in the air, i get the crew to fashion an icepack by filling a air sick bag with ice. It's so soothing. The only thing truly helps, of course take some meds, too.
Top notch review as always! Loved the cinematic flight experience! :D
Extraordinary ! Loved it👍🏼
Amazing video yet again.
Waiting eagerly for next videos.
Wow, wow wow I follow many travel CZcamsrs but this is such a professional production. Thank you for sharing it. I can’t wait to see more of your videos this is an incredible piece of work mate, it’s awesome ant.
An outstanding piece. Truly well done.
What a gentleman! Lovely video, so sorry about your migraine.
Marcel, this is beautifully done. I can't even think of how you managed to take some of the shots without thinking you would have a photographer with you at all time. You've set the bar for flight review. I glad I watched this on my projector TV instead of on my phone.
Thank you. Filming these is always lots of fun, and I try to make it as immersive as possible.
Stunning video, rich in details and beautifully presented. Hope you get some relief from your migraines. Cheers!
Wow, what a video my friend. Excelente quality.
Great video Marcel! I just subscribed.
Insane video. Maybe in a few months I’ll be back in this video proving I was here since 4.2k subs
Not only is this inaugural, but your channel is back. Hooray. Cheers from Down Under.....
Very stylish. Fab video and storytelling - thank you 🙏
Marcel, la qualité de tes vidéos est exceptionnelle !! Bonne continuité !!
So well done (as always)!
As always, a master class. Music, on point especially
It's definitely my biggest concern besides filming itself. Thanks!
Cinematography outstanding, content engaging, and excellent narration. Well done Marcel, this was one of the best, if not the best, flight review I've ever seen.
What a great and fantastic video. A big thumbs up 👍
Glad to see you back! Another brilliantly produced, entertaining and informative review - thank you! I had the pleasure of travelling in Etihad's First cabin a few weeks ago and you manage to capture the hard product and service offerings really well. Similar to Abu Dhabi v Dhabi, I feel Etihad is the more grown up, less flashy, classier version.
Thank you for sharing your trip here!! ☺ Smile
Such amazing production quality! I cant wait to fly this cabin again ... Truly an amazing video and content. Reliving memories of this flight and cabin ... Not sure how you film this this but BRAVO!
Well received. It's a truly special product!
That is a wonderful video!!
Your production is superb
Its So Good To See Etihad A380 Back In The Air Again.Great Trip Report
Well done, dear one... we enjoyed every Minuit of it ... grateful as ... always ... for your professional outlay...
This puts national georgraphy to shame lol - I'm so glad I came across your channel. The quality is amazing!
Simply Amazing🌟
I waited for this for months!!!
Your video, like The Residence, is next level.
Thank You for sharing this interesting wonderful video.
Been eagerly waiting for this, love it! ❤ Shame you got a migraine nothing worse traveling when you end up feeling ill or unwell
Yeah, real bummer. But the other three flights more than made up for it! Can't go perfect every time.
Excellent videography and review …..
just a great video👍
bravo! keep it up
Excellent quality content! It is refreshing to see someone that is not in shorts and a tee shirt jabbering in broken English. Thank you for sharing the top shelf experience.
Great video, love it. U earned my subscribe

Sorry to see the suffering you endured on your flight. Very unfortunate, but everything work itself out. Very nice video.
The wait was well worth it!
Excellent video as usual, Marcel, and thank you for providing us with an insight into Etihad's Apartment. Just watching your videos make me want to fly Etihad in first. The service you received appeared to be of an exceptionally high standard.
Shame about that migrane. I hope you didn't take too long to recover from it.
It's good to hear that! Luckily I was well enough after the weekend.
awesome. loved it
I know the problem with the headache too well. I usually get it on the very best flights in first class, since it is so hard to not go all in with the indulgence.
How can you not say yes to all the spirits, wine, and cocktails along with the stunning food. By the time i go to sleep, i usually had too much, didn't hydrate and are stuffed. More and more i steer away from drinking, since without rest, the whole point of the ticket becomes senseless.
I get headaches/migraines too and can imagine getting one with all the stimulus of the event and craziness of first class.. ironically the last place you want one! Thanks for the vid anyway. Very well done 👏🏼
Exactly, bad timing. Still was a cool day.
dang. this is amazing.
Wow, this is the most tastefully made video of any airline's first-class product. It would be in Etihad's best interest to use your video to show off their apartments.
A masterpiece 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Fascinating!
You're such a beautiful person with a fantastic talent. It was a pleasure to watch this journey. I appreciate how you dealt about being downgraded and it was nice to see such a positive behaviour. Being from the service industry we are not always so lucky to have guests like you.
Please continue to make these beauties and spread your positivity.
I have issues with migraine as well and something that has really helped me out is domperidone and naproxen sodium tablets.
I love your videos! How do you film yourself sitting at a table and walking through the airport? Do you have an assistant filming you? It all looks amazing.
Nope! I know it looks that way- I really try to make the videos as immersive as I possibly can. But it was just us 😊
Thanks was looking forward to this review for months. I know people with migraines have a difficult time in sometimes they take days to recover. Hope you find a solution that minimises the symptoms
I flew Etihad First to Washington back in September and I don’t think I had one fifth of the lounge experience you had. Don’t get me wrong it was a great lounge with great food, but the level of service you experienced was absolutely unbelievable.
I feel like I have to watch this wearing a tuxedo 😅 love this 👏
how come this guy only have 46k subs? with this quality of a video?
lemme fix that
Great video! What is the difference between residence and first apartment?
Fantastic video, it reminded me of my first flight in Concord. You did a marvelous job along with your companion. Please follow up with your acute migrane headache treatment. Tschuss
Was back in the air after the weekend! Concorde must have been epic..
I have the same headache problem. It happens when you sit or lay down with your neck bending too long. Try massaging the back of your neck and head, it helps
Hi Marcel, thank you for a simply superb experience. I would love to see this and other of your videos on a large cinema screen. I bet such a presentation would exceed the usual boring advertisement prior to the main feature ( hint, hint!?)
Thank you so much. It was a very special flight and, despite the ending, good memories!
This is a magnificent video and perhaps your best ever and congratulations to Etihad for making this happen, for realizing an algorithm mistake and correcting it.. Truly outstanding.
And your GF is stunningly beautiful and a pleasant reminder that if you look and dress that you belong in 1st or the Residence, you will be treated as such. Wowzers !!!
finally, he's back. Like always, well done Herr Brinkpeter. Und schade, das die Mgräne, das Erlebnis etwas getrübt hat.
Awesome flight report again Marcel... hope the remaining 3 A380 Etihad flights won't take as long to publish! On the subject of A380s though, also my favourite plane, and maybe Etihad will have the sense to acquire a few more since 2nd hand they apparently are only about 50mln USD... and ultimately, hope Emirates will twist Airbus's arm enough they'll launch an A380NEO... just have the factory in the Emirates like Airbus have an A320 line in Tianjin, PR China...
We will see what happens. EY still has 6 of their own left in Teruel - if the comeback of the A380 has taught us anything its never say never.
Excellent video, it would have been really interesting to know how the crew would have helped manage your migraine. I am sure they would have had a medic on board and possible medication that could help you, possibly a cold towel or massage solution. It would have been really interesting had you reported your symptoms, maybe it was due to cabin air pressure? Excellent editing and storytelling, thank you :)
I've grown a beard waiting for this. 😂
Yeah same here 🧙🏻♂️
Did u have a different CZcams ? I,m 100% sure use to watch like your videos glad your bck well done 🤙
I did. Welcome back!
When is the next episode pleaaaase??
you ate
SUPER
Did u use insta 360 One inch or the X3? I believe u use the One Inch right?
where do you get music ? theyre amazing
I use several platforms, and I can tell you that it's one if the most time-consuming tasks in the overall creation of these videos. Getting it right is a challenge!
@@flytoptiermedia its hard to get good copyright free for no charge but currently using epidemic sounds but ironicaly still geting youtube warnings
This would be wonderful on long haul Abu Dhabi to Australia.
Never say never. Rooting for SYD/MEL
@@flytoptiermedia fingers crossed.
I gave u that 747th like :)
I know a hero when I see one.
I wish he showed the food on the flight
What a pity. That’s one of the best parts of the flight.🍽️
Same here. Will get to that in the next ones!
The A380 is loved by passengers, and for good reason. There’s simply no better aircraft to fly in. What anyone else thinks, should be irrelevant.
Couldn't agree more.
Awesome video, Thank you. if you don't mind me asking are you a day trader?
Marcel works in (social) marketing
Day traders can't afford the residence. Only people who sell courses on 'how to become a day trader' can afford this experience.
top tier... fly top tier that is.
Almost though it'll never come back after COVID. Oh how I was wrong.
Does he have a 3rd person filming?
No.
Then much respect to yourself filming skills. It looks very professional. I really enjoy your videos.@@flytoptiermedia
Thanks. I am always looking for new ways to improve the image. Glad you enjoy!
Not much I can imagine that's worse than a migraine while traveling/flying, so sorry that intruded on an otherwise spectacular experience
