Nice, objective review. Good point about ordering food from departing city. When I fly airlines that are not American I always order the cuisine of the airline's native country(i.e. Japanese menu on JAL or ANA.) I've found it to be much better than the "Western options" . Also, I've always received better cabin service from Asian airlines than U.S.based airlines. Their flight attendants seem to enjoy their jobs and provide friendly, warm and professional service. I could tell you some horror stories of being "barked at" by numerous United FA's on their trans-Pacific flights over the years. Whenever possible, I don't fly any U.S. based airlines internationally, it's just too unpleasant.
Thanks for your comment! I’m sorry to hear you’ve received this kind of treatment from the United FAs. It’s truly bizarre considering how much we pay for the tickets. It’s really not too much to expect some good service. Here’s to hoping they improve!
The lounge looks nice!!!
very big!
What’s the point of the menu if you wouldn’t give me what I order😭😭 they should just list what is available
united for you
“This is a revelation to you”😂😂
True and not just the food but the planes are usually not cleaned and the service is not that good.
So True! It can be so hit/miss on these north american airlines
Looking forward to what's coming!!!! Let me Google ekf
let me know when you get it! There might be a special prize in store if you figure it out 😉
The flat earth shade!!! I love it 🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣
I really like the Sakura lounge
Just don't order fish and chips
Wow, their first class looks pretty tight. Was this a small plane?
Yes this was a smaller plane
@@koolboy12347 you got it
0:54 Sky Priority is for Delta airline frequent flyers Sky Miles and Virgin Atlantic's code share for Delta One and Upper Class bookings.
Thank you so much! That makes a lot of sense I appreciate your response!
Dub video
😃
Have done JAL in business too, very happy I did.
I’m looking forward to the A350 next time!
Not boring at all .. 😃.. every review/trip report about JAL I’ve seen before mentions that the on board temperature is way too hot .. that would really put me off flying with them tbh .. it’s a bit of a shame .. thanks 🙏..
You’re right it’s a real shame. At least if we had individual air vents it’d be manageable.
Interesting video. And that facial steamer is so cool in the amenity kit!
It really is!
can barely understand wtf youre saying lol
Thank you for the honest feedback. I’ll work on being more articulate in my future videos. Thank you for watching 🙏🏾
turn the close captioning on. Also kind of rude
Great review. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for watching! Hope to see you on the next one.
Great video! What is a travel group? How do you join one?😮
like slack or discord. iykyk
@@boring.traveller Bro is gatekeeping☠ Add that one to the video backlog
@@jioke join my group i no be recruiter
Can't imagine being hot for a while
Its manageable but you just have to be aware especially since you cannot control the temp ypurself.
The food looked good
lots of food, way too much
if their first class looks like this I am curious to see what economy looks like😩
pretty tight
do you pay extra to preorder your meals?
no that is free
Welcome back!!!
Love these travel vlogs bro! What cosmetic issue was there? All I see is leg room for daysss
I think the armrest was slightly worn out but i think they put some velcro to cover it up
Awesome presentation and highly informative as always✨
Thanks again!
You can get in with Delta platinum card?!!!
yup!
How were you able to check your luggage all the way to Vietnam? Does Alaska have partnerships with the airline you used for the second leg of your trip?
Alaska has a partnership with JAL. It is actually just one ticket I booked.
You really loaded on that chicken in the lounge 😭
it bussed
Beautiful hair Faith 🥹🤩! Very well done with the production👏🏾👏🏾
Thank you so much 🤗
🥰🥰
Traveller’s wife sorry o😂
Rapidly becoming one of my favorite channels 🔥
Welcome back!
I’m reconsidering my decision to never fly JetBlue… I can give them a second chance!
At least let the Bellman take you upstairs and give you the proper room details and tour.. you probably just don't want to tip..lol.
Actually was not offered to us here, but at the Waldorf DC we were taken up and given the tour!
Keep up the consistency guys 🤩🥳
Thank you
Yeah this format was definitely cool, nice to switch up sometimes👏🏾
Glad you liked it!!
My favorite RUclipsr is back🔥
Boss 🥹
Like the format!!! The hotel is really nice but that poop🫢🫢
Yeah that was bad 😅
I enjoy this format! Did you get compensated for the poop stains??
Talked about it on my blog so tap in! Got 10,000 Marriott Bonvoy Points
Brilliant video, really detailed & informative. Just sub’d & will get the rest of my holiday gang to sub too 😊
Great review, looking forward to seeing more videos!!👏🏾👏🏾
Very well done guys!! Really insightful and professionally done👏🏾👏🏾
Thanks so much!
Great Video/ Question, I see the hours of operation for the club house/ is this just for food service or do they shut down the food service during these times? Thank you in advance
Thank you for watching! The lounge is open from 5AM until 1:30PM, which is when Priority Pass members can access it. The lounge then opens from 3PM until 10:30PM, operating as a lounge for Virgin Atlantic passengers and select Plaza Premium guests only. There should be food service between these times and outside these times the lounge should be shut.
Very detailed review. Seemed like the airline crew were not that involved unlike the last time
Hooked from the intro! Awesome review as always👏🏾
You already know!
North American Airlines need to get it together!
Now think about this: Air Canada is one of the best in this region
Bruh that lounge reminds me of my cafeteria in college! Great review tho
Punchout > Maple Leaf Lounge
That lounge in Montreal looked so packed almost like a regular terminal waiting area
It was! Lots of kids running around too. Definitely would not pay cash to get into this lounge.
Decent video. The hot towel controversy rages on. I do face first, then hands, as I feel completely refreshed. I have flown reverse herringbone and didn't care for it. I would never fly seats like that. 1-2-1 staggered is the only way to go. Look forward to your next.
Thank you for watching and commenting I really appreciate it. I heard another person say that the towels are not that clean that’s why they don’t use it on their face. Which might be a fair point but like you i felt completely refreshed. I agree I won’t be flying this product again. Hopefully I can try A330neo with the Retreat Suite. Hope to see you here in the next one.
Looking forward to more videos!!!
