Hi paul cool to see you mentioned New Zealand in this video, my national airline
VinBin same
The lunch dispenser looks pretty cool! Definitely a nice touch from Lufthansa. Great video once again!
it is not Lufthansa... AIR DOLOMITI is totally italian
Air Dolomiti is a wholly owned subsidiary of Lufthansa.
@@mariacristinaciampi3069 the lunch dispensers were provided by Lufthansa i believe
@@cardiffflyer You are right
Air dolomiti rocks. I live in Verona which is also their base. Love it absolutely
You have to pour coffee down the drains in the bathroom because the drains in the galley lead outside the plane. It goes through a series of filters before exiting the plane and the coffee grounds clog those filters very easily. So the solution is to dump it in the lav which just leads to a holding tank.
I've flown Air Dolomiti to Prague in economy class and it was a really good experience ! The Italian snack they offer are to die for and the coffee is truly exquisite :) Munich is my favourite airport in Germany as well, so clean, easy to navigate, not ridiculously expensive and the service level is quite high.
In 2014, I flew with AirDolomiti from Munich to Florence and sat in Business class next to Kanye West. It was a very fun and interesting flight. He was smaller than I expected.
As an Italian speaker, being in the "7th sky" (settimo cielo) is just an expression meaning that one is very happy (hinting at being in Paradise).
Sounds like the English expression being "on cloud 9"
The correct English equivalent would be ‘seventh heaven’ which basically means exactly the same as ‘settimo cielo’ does in Italian.
I work at venice airport and I absolutely adore AirDolomiti!!!
I really like Air Dolomiti, for short flights they are good. And the crew is always very nice!
Love the lunch dispenser. I wonder if it is limited or if you could clear it out and sell the packed lunches to the Ryanair passengers? ;-)
Probably just one each! ;-) Nice thinking!
“We have a ham sandwich with apple slices...let’s start the bidding at €5!”
I have been on Air Dolomiti before from Cluj Napoca, Romania, to Munich, Germany. In my opinion, it is a very good little airline. Nice staff, good service, and good seats.
Thumbs up to Lufthansa for the vending machine 👍🏻! And as someone who studied history at Uni I definitely appreciate whenever an airport has a display like that.
I love seeing Venice from the plane when landing. Very nice airport too from what I remember.
Great vid! my favorite airport museum is, DEFINITELY the Smithsonian udvar-hazy air and space museum at IAD, Washington Dulles airport, it is fantastic! I think its even better than the iconic Air & Space Museum in Wash DC.. worth a trip there
It is great, though we should probably tell people who've never been there that it takes a shuttle to get there. Fine if you've got a long lay-over. It is newer than the original museum so has the Space Shuttle, etc. (The original opened in 1976).
Yes. One of the most amazing places in Washington D.C.
Right at the airport.
This video is AMAZING, I love small airlines which not many people know about. Liked
5:30 did anyone else try to get rid of the ad lol
Yes
Didn't' even notice it tell you pointed it out. Had to go back to look what you were referring too! ;)
Tallinn airport has a nice display of vintage planes, well it did a couple of years back and in Shannon there is a very cool display of scale model planes from a big collector. That was surprising but very enjoyable to see. Great video Paul! The new format is spot on.
At Reagan National (DCA) there is a nice exhibit on the history of the airport and of the archeology of the colonial plantation site the airport now sits on.
Hi Paul. Just watched the video whilst relaxing on holiday in Majorca. I took my first flight yesterday in 10 years to get here due to a (irrational) fear of flying. Your videos have been a huge help in getting me back up in the air. Thank you
Awesome! Thanks for letting me know and hope you’re having a great time 👍🏻
Atlanta has an exhibit in the international terminal that displays some of the illegal things that were caught at the airport. It's amazing.
Loved the Star Trek Replicators
Great video!!
Great video as always. The content about these alternative routes has been an eye opener regarding how one can get around Europe in an interesting and economical way.
What I like about Air Dolomiti is the free (and rather high quality) snack box passengers get in economy class. They also used to have even more trans alp routes such as Munich to Klagenfurt with ATR aircraft but sadly they aren't flying anymore since restructuring and switching to Embraer. I was always a fan since it avoided a 7 hour train ride.
Great video Paul!
i traveled with AD many times from VE to Munich and i can assure that even flying in economy they serve you any drink you want no charge... including prosecco! Amazing flight company
I've sold Air Dolomiti several times to my corporate travellers, so appreciate the insight. Great video.
That lunch dispenser reminds me of a meal service we had in the US in the late 80's and early 90's, where you'd pick up a bag with your meal kit for the flight as you boarded. It was right after your boarding pass check or just inside the jetway.
Nice! I happened to fly with Air Dolomiti two years ago, from Zurich to Munich. The flight was delayed by an hour due to the weather, and once up in the air, there was barely enough time for the flight attendants to make their full journey through the cabin handing out refreshments prior to descent into Munich. The seat was OK, and it was my first flight aboard any Embraer jet. I'd consider flying them again.
Allways enjoy your videos. Thanks Paul. You present the content very well. You are a good man. Cheers.
AirDolomiti is amazing
another great vlog
Thumbs up for including info on fares for both classes of travel :)
I can testify to just how long of a trip Munich to Venice by tour bus is. It is long and exhausting even with a stop to stretch Great video keep it up.
Nice Trip Report Paul. Nice that you get to fly on these little airlines that one often only sees passing by when waiting for your own flight somewhere. The two sweet options look lovely together with the coffee, Maro and I would definitely enjoy that! Thanks for taking us along on this airline. Best Regards to you from Copenhagen - Maxi and Maro :-D
Trains and planes..... you do both well! Thanks Paul.
I'm going to Venice in October 2020 so this is going to give me a heads up
great video paul
You should try Air Italy Business Class onboard A330 from MXP to LAX or SFO!
Excellent video as usual, I have found another airline to put on my bucket list. And I went through Munich 20 years ago and it was fantastic then
amazing mr. paul! been following your account for months and surelly its getting better and better!
Have you ever flown Adria Airways? It's Slovenia's national airline. I recently flew them from Ljubljana to Paris. Very beautiful views crossing the Alps, and friendly service.
I love Lufthansa lounges, a few years ago having arrived at Frankfurt from Baku at around 4:30am, after a miserable, uncomfortable flight in a packed A330, there was only a 1st class lounge in those days (I had a business class ticket) but the lassie on the desk took pity on me and let me in. Utterly knackered, I fell asleep on the incredibly uncomfortable pot shaped seat only to wake up with a crick in my neck and sore throat from snoring at around 7:30am to a packed lounge! I looked furtively around to see if anybody was looking disapprovingly at me but no, all seemed in harmony, don't you just love business travellers!
Hope you tried the vaporetto / ferry service from the airport to Venice. Such a great way to arrive. 😊
Great review Paul.
I like at FRA the small exhibition about aviation .
It's between the ICE station and T1
I love the Embraer aircraft, I choose them whenever given a choice.
I saw a small self- service coffee shop in Frankfurt airport for Lufthansa economy passengers few years ago,it was really great idea,workers were moving around in the airport by electric scooters!
New Gimbal?
Seems to fight you a bit.
You can just see that that's good coffee just from looking at the crema.
Italians...
That view of Venice is gorgeous. I should go there some day.
Very nice flight and great view of Venice :) Have all time a great and saftey trip :)
Another good video look forward to the next one
Useful summary. Well articulated.
I am extremely appreciative of your Videos TYVM
Another A+ trip report! I flew Air Dolomiti last summer MUC-AMS in Y on a LH ticket. Totally agree that MUC is efficient and super passenger-friendly. Air Dolomiti's service was also efficient and on-time. For airport museums, have you paid a visit to the Louis A. Turpen Aviation Museum and Library at SFO? It's located landside in the International Terminal - an outstanding attraction for avgeeks. Permanent exhibits feature some fascinating models and memorabilia from the flying boat era and PanAm's heyday. In fact, SFO offers all kinds of exhibitions in landside and airside locations.
I love MUN also, the art exhibits at SFO have always been impressive.
Paul I flew thru Munich once on my way to Vicenza, Italy for Operation Desert Storm and really enjoyed the huge Cuban cigar store they have there. We usually flew into Venice from there but the terminal was under construction and I have no idea of what it looks like now. Hope you go to look around Venice which was a very interesting place to walk around. Keep up the good work sir.
Shannon Airport has an exhibition of model aircraft, nver seen it IRL but it looks pretty neat
Those in flight desserts looked yummy. I've got to go raid the fridge freezer now - I'm suddenly hungry, lol.
Hi Paul, another super video and highly informative. 👌🌍✈️ I particularly love the museum inside the airport. A world away from the cold and wet here in Scotland!
Good work as always! ☺️
the airport in my hometown of pittsburgh, pennsylvania (PIT) has a very large, hanging mobile by alexander calder. it originally hung in the main entrance lobby of their old airport, now i believe it can be found in the gate areas of the newer airport.
Great trip report well done Air Dolomiti
Great video Paul, great work as usual.
Great video as always Paul. Your quality on pre and in-flight experiences / adventures is always high quality and very much appreciated.
At 1:04, the dude at the "Delights to Go - Lufthansa" kiosk really seemed "involved" with customer service. He seemed like: "Don't mind me, I'm just reading my book"....."move along".
It's always a pleasure to learn that the flight will be operated by Embraer E series, no matter the route. Beautiful aircraft
The line about replicators - Thanks, Paul - I needed a chuckle
Thanks, Paul, for explaining the time benefit of this flight as compared with the same journey by road or rail. We need something similar from Southend to Biggin Hill in order to avoid the horrors of the Dartford Crossing.
Love Embraer planes. very comfortable.
Cool video!love your channel cause it’s the best trip report channel.
You videos are lovely. The narration and music are just right. Keep them coming!
Hi Paul
The airline looks good, it's not one I have heard of. The service looks good too. I think some of our budget airlines could learn from them. I also like the concept of the new business lounge where you can pick up a quick snack.
Looking forward to your next report.
Cheers
DS
Great job Paul! Kudos to Lufthansa for the self serve snack machine. That's the best idea I have ever seen in an airport. Would love to see them in all airports, even if you had to pay for it. How convenient and time saving. Your aerial shots of Venice are the best! Thanks for an impressive vlog! Happy Travels!
4:20 Oooh look at that beauty! Adria Airways CRJ900 S5-AAV “Vesna”. Adria is the biggest airline in my country.
Great airline and a nicely made video
There's a nice little museum with free entry at Cesar Manrique (Arrecife) airport in Lanzarote situated in the original air terminal used up to the 1970s. Worth a visit.
A lunch dispenser, now that's awesome! Other than that, the airline is pretty cool! Nice trip report as always!
Great review Paul 👍🏻 That’s another airline I hadn’t heard of. Always like to expand on my av-geek’ness knowledge!
Loved Munich airport, except the last time I was there last month. Only the airtrain connected the two terminals, but it completely broke down so I had to wait 45 minutes for a bus to the other side and nearly missed my connection!
Baltimore BWI has a pretty interesting air museum in the terminal. Cut away of a 737, 747 landing gear etc. Then there is the smithonian annex at Washington Dulles...that's simply insane .. and free.
As far as beautiful terminals with displays, have you ever been to Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada's international terminal (YVR). It's beautifully decorated with replicas of indigenous sites as well as the animal life of the region. It really feels like a museum of natural history. It is a bit of a walk from the gate to passport control and the day I was there it was about 40 minutes to get through customs, but overall, it is a spectacular airport and a wonderful region to visit.
as usual great flight report...
The Delight to go looks interesting. I know my local Airline SAS has installed similar self service centres at a lot of rural airports which they call "Cafe Lounges" with some small, self service options and about as much seating as a coffee shop. Definitely neat for those travelling from small, remote airports and a great substitute for lounges.
Paul ... I hope you get to experience the Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt some day. It will change your mind about Lufthansa lounges. Be sure to collect the rubber ducky from the shower room. I have a collection because I’ve visited the lounge a number of times.
Paul, Great views in this video.
I took Air Dolomiti in June 2019, via Munich, to Sofia Bulgaria. I totally agree that Munich is a fantastic airport, much more efficient than Frankfurt.
My flight also took about 10 minutes from the gate, via bus and sat in Economy. During my 1 hour and 40 minute flight, I found the service to be quite good. While we in Economy just received drinks, the crew was quite friendly and the trip that much more enjoyable. Incidentally, the Embraer fleet was previously owned by Lufthansa CityLine. All in all, I found it to be a pleasant flight.
Nice video, do hope those lovely lunch dispensaries don't replace lunches though, but, nice touch.
Never saw an Embraer with 2 by 2 seating. Looks like a comfortable plane
Delights to go is a fantastic idea
Love the video Paul, Keep up the amazing work!
At Terminal T in Atlanta, there’s an exhibit about the history of Atlanta, it’s pretty cool :)
I always fly air dolomiti from munich to florence and I´ve never enjoyed a flight with them. glad you had a good experience.
3:17 With (I think) the sole exception of San Francisco Airport, where every gate in the international terminal is down a long escalator but you end up level with the plane and use a jetway like normal.
Awesome 👍👍
Like you I love the Embraer which have sadly almost disappeared from Australian skies...more the pity as they were a great aircraft and very comfortable! What happened to your lunch pack? Great review Paul and looking forward to your next instalment!!
He said he saved it for later that day and it was perfectly fine. At 2:21
Great video Paul!! Here are my thoughts...
Firstly, that vending machine is AMAZING!! The closest I've come to that is a machine in Florida that gave you freshly squeezed orange juice, where you could watch the oranges get sliced, squeezed and the juice pouring into the cup!
The Lounges don't look too spectacular but better than some I've been in before! Also a quick side note.. i love bus gates! My favourite way of getting on board!
The livery on that plane looks lovely, very fresh and clean! I especially love the little detail and colour on the winglets!
Good to see a short haul flight with, not only decent service but also Wifi!
Some of the views you got on this one are absolutely stunning, including that of Venice itself! Would love to visit one day!
Loved the video, really looking forward to the next one!
Happy travels!!
Thanks Jimmy! I really recommend visiting Venice, it's one of the most unique cities in the world!
8:45 BUTTER
Enjoy Nanaimo, walk around the harbor before boarding the plane. I once took BC airs float plane from Victoria to Vancouver, it was fun, unfortunately cloudy, but not cloudy enough to deter takeoff and landing. enjoy
that was about 30 years ago
Yet another great video 👍.
Found your channel a couple of weeks ago and have seen several of your videos including your trip around the world.. I'm looking forward to your videos from your recent Scandinavian journey. In the meantime I've started to see the rest of your videos, starting with the oldest one and going forward.
Keep up the good work 👍👍
This airport doesn’t have any exhibitions. However, have you been through Copenhagen Kastrup? That is my favorite airport. I have flown in and out of there many times with Scandinavian Airlines. I was actually born in Sweden so we go back there to visit. I currently live in Pennsylvania. This Airport has a whole shopping mall, restaurants and pretty much anything else you need. Also, it is all one giant terminal so you do not need to go outside. I love that airport! In addition, you can take the train from Sweden, across the long Öresunds bridge and tunnel and the next stop is the airport. All you have to do is get off the train and take an escalator up and you are in the terminal. In addition, the train is very very comfortable.
weird audio glitch at 9:34 ish, might be your editing software acting weird during render mabey.
I thought maybe he mistakenly used copyrighted stock music for the couple of minutes preceding it.
Loved the report.
