I took a flight on a brand new luxury airline that left me wondering only one thing - how is this airline making any money?

My guess is that one reason the flight was so empty is that it was pushed back by six hours. A lot of people don't have the flexibility to move their flight time so much on such short notice. Some of the people who were going to fly on that flight probably rescheduled to a flight that was leaving closer to their original time.
Brilliant point. Which leads one to wonder the reason for pushing the flight back by six hours. Such cumulative developments on a repeated basis could drastically jeopardise the new airline's chances of survival. One cannot help but wonder who's running the show, and whether the cause is incompetence at the top or something else. Adding the new stopover is the biggest question --- What financial motive could offset the losses. I wish everyone well and hope they sort things out.
Maybe they had to take it to the tailor to measure for half a meter taller sides and privacy dividers 😃😃
Seriously, reverse herringbone was invented for a reason and "feeling open" while being a fancy design concept is disastrous if people can regain privacy at a press of a button. Only Etihad would have money for that kind refit.
Good example for people to see how thinking and designing need to be connected - like on the neocortex level 😃😃
@@susanadiasjohnson457 Its an UAE based investment firm that just shuffles money into the airline... I don't have my hopes up for it to be honest.
After the Greyhound incident Noel deserves all the luxury.
I just Cringed remembering that video. Lmao 🤣😂.
those workers at the check-in were fantastic
True, but I also got an eerie "Stepford" vibe from all but one of them - if you guessed the male flight attendant, you'd be wrong.
Agree just very Customer focused!
I know Zurich Airport. Unfortunately, if you fly economy, they are still friendly. But they have become rare. Customer does everything on his own. If there is a problem, you can wait 10 minutes because only one employee and what feels like 3 school classes, a baseball team, a soccer team, a traditional costume group and 300 individual customers check in at the same time 😮😮😮
Finding out Noel is 6’4” - 6’5” was the wildest part of the video to me.
Also, I just love how positive Noel is about everything. It’s a breath of fresh air.
Why us tall people generally refuse to fly budget airlines.
John Cleese height, basically.
Good lord, he’s giant lol
You don't notice it in videos all the time, but when he stands next to somebody- he's tall. FTR- he also did a circumnavigation flying only budget airlines. He did that so we don't have to .
Noel is definitely both tall and bald. Hard to miss.
Noel, do you ever get on a plane these days where somebody DOESN'T say "You're Noel Philips!"?
next time he should answer "I am?"
“Chair” is the subsidiary airline of the car company SEAT. 🤣
😅
😮
🤣
😂 😂 😂
😂😂😂
$171 US was my room rate at same Waldorf Astoria and they upgraded my 3 night stay to a suite. Incredible Staff and incredibly clean.
American air companies cannot comprehend this level of service.
Great to see you on the Westjet flight from London Gatwick to St. John's today, and best of luck with the Saint Pierre to Paris flight!
he has been betten on that flight review by steve marsh
'Through securidy'....'fordy to fiddy' and 'eye rack'...the American life is impacting Noel's accent!
Drinking game: Take a drink every time Noel says "Thanks" or "Thank you" etc.
That's a recipe for alcohol poisoning
im drunk now 🙂
You am drunk I are
Thank you. I came here to post ,Thank you the same. Thank you. Also, thank you.
Or try with the word Dubai i think he says that more then thank you
I know the lovely check in agent, hope you enjoyed the flight from Zürich 🎉😊❗
Thank you Noel, for not putting "The worlds first all business class airline" like every other CZcamsr. Beond claiming that is just stupid and unneeded, the product is solid, for a couple heading to the Maldives it's almost perfect.
Your Lamb Shank was Rack of Lamb,,, currently flying the A319ceo BEOND Livery, beautiful ✈️
Noel is more of a black pudding on toast sort of guy.
correct - better than the fatty shank
@deesalkelly3069 yeah, I think they were trying to impress him , though it went unnoticed lol
Yeah, that "lamb shank" call was weirding me out when cutlets/rack were pictured.
@@deesalkelly3069 Different ... not necessarily better ...
does the 600 euro compensation apply for flights between switzerland and UAE? considering Switzerland isn't part of the EU. or are they part of that same agreement with the passenger rights?
Looks amazing, love these types of reviews, I’d say that 90% of people who are watching this didn’t even know who beyond were before the video so it’s great see some of these less well known airlines
Agree, I kinda wanna try Beyond to the Maldives now.
At least once to let em have the chance - My GF HATES longterm flights (cant sleep) so getting her in Business for once would make everything a ton easier.
I daresay hardly anyone knows of this new airline that has 1 plane. Noel kind of has the scoop on it!
the lack of privacy is a no for me. I want to be in a sheltered box where no one can see me.
Love the airline! Great Job Noel! Looking forward to seeing the next video! Safe Travels Brother!
Looks like a lovely plane and airline. Very friendly staff too!
Boy, does this make up for them Greyhound trips. Well deserved!
WOW! I think Beyond are beyond amazing. There’s something about the vibe here I love. The airport experience, service, aeroplane, ambiance, etc.. love it!
That was one lucky leg of your trip! Every flight I manage to book is packed solid featuring the most overworked crew in the skies. I love this concept of all business seats, I will happily pay a bit more for it, and I will absolutely be searching it out next time I travel!
WOW! What as experience with everything on this video. The flight, the deserted airport and the hotel room, all so beautiful. Thanks for this Noel, and please, no guilt in taking time off during work times ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it!
Our most empty flight, my wife and I and another couple with a baby that slept all the time from Istanbul to Dublin. Never been first off a flight before
You should have let the couple with the baby off first
The positivity and respect you have for others present karma that results in unique experiences like this for you.
Enjoy them, take them in, and keep being you.
6:21 what a legend lol
10 other passengers and it’s surprising that he was recognized
Noel! Enjoy every minute of life you can-- more power to you if it's while you're working!
How fun. You deserve to be pampered !✈✈🥇
Looks like an enjoyable flight and the hotel looks beautifully stylish.
Very nice. Thank you.
Minging! We’re keeping the word alive Noel! I REALLY like the airline and of course the efficiency and friendliness of the staff. Not surprising with it being Swiss. All looks a-ok and another fantastic video Noel, I love ‘em, as you know. Nice one mate! 👌🏻
Wow, you flew on Darth Vader’s plane on I am your Father’s Day! 😂 Love your vids!
Beond looks like a nice little airline indeed. Checking out that new airport in Dubai is an extra treat. Thanks as always for sharing, Noel!
Walking onto a brand new random airline & random passenger says “you’re Noel Phillips”….. you know you’ve made it as a CZcamsr 😂.
Happy Father’s Day Noel! This was a great video. I hope you enjoyed yourself on this trip. It looked more relaxed than other places and flights you’ve been on. Dubai is definitely on the bucket list.
Love how often you say thank you
What lovely staff and the airport is nice!
The ladies checking in in Switzerland are very very kind helpful and well trained.....this is just amazing
Another wonderful adventure. Thank you Noel.
Glad you enjoyed it
Extremely nice, luxurious flight. Everything top shelf.
Noel I believe that the airline is actually CH Air, CH is the code for Switzerland 🇨🇭. If I remember correctly it’s shown in two different colours Blue and Red to separate it so it’s not seen as Chair.
No the airline called Beond. Trying to get pax from Munich but at the beginning of the year, the luxury holiday airline cancelled eleven Male flights from Munich and Zurich. Now Beond is putting the brakes on even more and is removing the airport in the Bavarian capital from its flight schedule for the summer, as the portal Touristik Aktuell first reported, citing a customer message.
"Beond will temporarily suspend flights from Munich to Malé for the summer season, which begins on March 10, 2024," a Beond spokesperson confirmed.
@@CREOLESCREAM he’s talking about the airline Noel was referencing in the beginning of the video, not the airline he flew on
@@lunamotocross Thanks I appreciate that I should have been clearer.
Their web site uses "Chair Airlines", so I guess that's how they want it to be pronounced?
No its really Chair....
1:05 I wonder if Chair Airlines will be opening a new Scandinavian airline ✈️ …perhaps IKEA sponsored lounges?😂 *Aircraft seat assembly included*💺👍
I have had 3 arrivals and 3 departures from Zurich and have stayed at on of the airport adjacent hotels twice. Absolutely delightful. Bonus, a nice Coop grocery store in the airport.
Love this concept. How amazing were all the ground crew & check in.
Great video Orel the hotel looks comfortable u lucky man 😀
Wow! Such amazing deals and fantastic flight and hotel stay. You really lucked out on this one.
Love the views from the lounge in Zurich!😍 BEOND looks like an amazing airline. I hope they survive and become really successful
as always i enjoyed the flight thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching
That was a good check in experience 👍
Lovely Video again, thanks Noel.
Glad you enjoyed it
Beyond look superb,definitely one to try,cheers Noel another great video👍😉💪
Both the flight and hotel look amazing.
Thanks for another great voyage. You've brightened up my day 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
@@noelphilips ;)
Blessings on Father's day Noel You are a good dad.
Thank you for your kind words.
You One The Best Seats In The Cabin.Great Video And Info
I need to re-watch to do a 'thank you' count 😁. Great video Noel, wish people were as polite as you.
Noel stop saying thank you so much, they'll realise you're working class 😅
Wow amazing from the staff, food, quality...and that hotel wow! Great vid Noel.
Glad you enjoyed it
I really like this airline ❤ the staff were just lovely too 😊
That hotel is INCREDIBLE.
Well done Noel in finding the unusual airlines and like you most impressed with the whole experience and the compensation was a bonus. Well done sir!! Blue skies as always.
Glad you enjoyed it
Great flight.
Brilliant Noel! Was waiting for you to talk about Be0nd from Zürich!
Watching another great Noel video with a cup of coffee, cheers! Happy Father’s Day! ❤🛩️🌎☕️
Excellent flight Noel!
Glad you enjoyed it
This was “beyond” experience. It looked very comfortable. It was an awesome experience being in an empty airport. Never felt that before 😂Dubai is bucket list destination for me. Enjoy your trip Noel & Happy Father’s Day. Be safe & Blessings on your journey.
I'm going with Noel just being polite. My game is Noel mentioning the airline, airplane or destination more than once in a sentence.
What an upgrade Noel - Enjoy the stay.
All aeroplanes should be like this, it looks lovely. Why do I get the feeling this will be gone before it's even started.
Wow! What a great hotel room! Super!
Luv all of ur vids
I enjoy the amenity kit because of the bag and not what's inside. American started using cardboard boxes with the same old stuff inside. I used to keep the kits and I left mine on the plane the last couple times.
Ty
Great video Noel 😊
Thanks! 😀
Great video Noel. I love the empty airport, such a rare thing and a massive contrast to just about any other city airport, enjoy it while you can lol. I loved the plane, not seen seats like that before, thank you for taking us with you on another fun journey. Also, you have every right to enjoy your work, we as viewers love to see you excited about things, so please don't feel guilty, your enjoyment is our enjoyment.
Happy father's day Noel!☺️👍
Thank you! 😃
Great vlog as always! This is the future of C-class flying. Smaller aircraft and point to point. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
Noel, I laughed harder than I should have at the 23:08 comment about the bag. After this week in IT, I don't blame you for getting out either! You really got lucky on this trip :)
Love this
Nice ride. Wish them success.
Take a shot every time super polite Noel says "thank you"
Noel please do more hotel reviews!
Eye rack, love it Captain Koch
Noel quoting Jojo Siwa was something I didn't know I needed 10/10
As someone who is significantly shorter than you, the walking sequence at the start of the video where you're filming yourself, made me instinctively duck because I'm not used to being so close to the ceiling. 🤣🤣🤣
4:00 love how she says WHYYY FIIIIIYYY 😂
really nice service staff, id be willing to give them a try just after seeing this.
Happy Father’s Day Noel!
Great flight for the most part. I wish the seats were more private, wider. I wish yourself and your family, to have a wonderful life. Thanks for the report-
Thank you.
I love the colour of that aircraft, cant believe its an old Easyjet Airbus A319, another cool vlog , really liked that Noel 👍✈️
Glad you enjoyed it!
what a nice looking airplane, cheer!
Very interesting journey i want to see more ✈️
That’s pretty wild! Wow, I can’t believe how empty both airports were! Lucky you, great video, don’t think I’ll be using that airline though. Thanks for sharing
My best empty flight was about 20 of us flying to lefkas in greece on a monarch 757 as one guy knew people wh o rented the plane to ship equipment. For the sailing season.we were there to route find mtb trails. Great trip . That was the early 90s
Mine was about 30-40 people on an Air France *747* on a fifth-freedom flight within South America, from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro via Campinas and an unexpected longer detour to Santiago as well. I didn't want that flight to end!
Your from Leicestershire pal hardly a Northerner midlander at best and that’s debatable🤷♂️
Hope your health is improving and your feeling heaps better.
Getting a little better, every day.
21:48 got stranded at this airport for 15 hours when the Dubai floods happened earlier this year; no open vendors for food and my 1 year old didn’t have a meal 20 hours. Thanks for bringing back those horrible memories Noel 😂
I just subscribed. You’re keeping me so entertained during my late night feedings of my newborn
Thank you & Welcome aboard.
It's almost you were flying on a larger private jet with min passengers, that food looked yummy too!., awesome flight review Noel👍✈
