  • Welcome back to another trip report! In today's video, I am flying with Etihad from London Heathrow's Terminal 4 to Abu Dhabi's Terminal 2! I hope you enjoy this as much as I did enjoy it to travel and film, without you guys these simply would not be possible. For my first long haul flight there was plenty of positives and negatives. Final score 6/10

    Aviation is amazing. It’s great how someone like you that has just gone on their first long haul flight, has been a part of aviation for much longer. It proves that aviation as a whole is just bigger than going on planes (although it is great).

    Love long hauls, don't remember my first LH experience of Hong Kong to Dubai with the Cathay queen of the skies when I was around 2 months old, but I still wish I could relive that at my current age till this day. Very well-put together trip report Brandon, huge thumbs up from me!

    Hi, very nice trip report 👌🏼 thanks! Did you have to keep the mask on at all times? I’m going to be flying Etihad economy in 11 weeks, Melbourne to Abu Dhabi then onto Rome. Def a long haul flight. Glad to have seen your review beforehand.

    • @PilotStudd
      @PilotStudd  Před rokem

      Hi Matt, I would be lying if i said I kept it on at all times, took it off for obvious things and sleeping (not that I slept much but I can’t sleep with a mask on!), seeing as masks aren’t a requirement at all in the UK, people certainly took a more Laissez Faire approach especially on the way back to the UK - A lot of people on board didn’t wear there’s at all and flight attendants didn’t seem bothered. All in all I was probably masked for about 2/3 of the flight, frequent drinks meant that it wasn’t practical to keep it on!! Enjoy your flight

      @@PilotStudd thanks very much for the info! Yes, I was wondering about the mask vibe on long haul flights, so thankyou for the feedback, it’s much appreciated!

      They didn’t weight my hand luggage at all, could’ve been 20KG for all they know! It was only a small backpack so I guess looking at it told them enough

    7 hours is not long haul. More like medium haul. Try flying to the far East. For example. Abu Dhabi to Sydney is 15 hours. Now that is long haul

    • @PilotStudd
      @PilotStudd  Před rokem +1

      A long haul flight is usually classed as any flight longer then 6 hours or longer the 2500 miles (both apply here) but i fear we are delving into minutiae here.
