    You're genuinely my favorite reviewer, up to the point that I get sad when a video is over, knowing it'll be a while until the next one. The mix of great humor, delivered in the driest way possible, combined with professional shots and a general understanding of finer things, makes your videos incredibly fun to watch.
    In fact, I was so impressed by your delivery and videos including your hometown that I decided to visit Saudi Arabia with my gf as part of our first vacation together pretty soon. Can't wait, thanks a lot for your videos!

    I find it funny that Etihad calls the dish a Masala Dosa when it's basically a platter of South Indian breakfast dishes. And yeah, Etihad should skip the dosa because it will always get soggy after so long, and can easily switch it with Uttapam which can serve better in long haul flights. The vada and idli looked pretty nice tho.

    Having flown with Etihad at both ends of their planes , I’d say that overall the best part of flying with them has to be their cabin crews.. well trained , hard working , human but really professional too ..
    erm btw , your sales pitch for your sponsor was nicely prepared and presented.. not so much the hard sell , but more of a nudge and a gentle push in their general direction.. YT would be a much better place if more people did it your way .. thanks for another interesting , funny and well made production .. 🙏

    I have flown the A350 a month ago from Chicago, I was throughly impressive with the flight and the over all service but the airport was a bit downgrade compared it's cousin in Dubai. The new updated map worked great in my flight (must be a one-off on yours), besides that the interactive map is really impressive and is leagues ahead to that of Qatar and Emirates. Great review BTW!!

I loved the intro to this one. That car sounded awesome! It is an interesting point you mention that the airlines are focusing more on their business class because there are so many appealing choices for a private charter to have a "First Class" experience for near the same money as an airline would charge. I just wish I was in a position to enjoy either option!
