    Videos like this are so helpful. I’m used to United and its import to pick an odd numbered window to have more privacy although I can see the difference on the seat map you showed. I am surprised they served you food that was different than what was expected. This can be so dangerous for those with any food allergies! But glad you enjoyed the meal. My experience with Air France was also a very warm business class cabin. I felt ill from the heat! I am flying business with them again in March, looking forward to seeing the new cabin on our route. I am lucky enough to get a bulkhead with the wider seat well. Thanks for the video!

    Because of travel hacking I was able to enjoy international business class flights, but hated that these seats were without vents. I started bringing a portable fan. It folds up and stands where I need it, so I put it on a table-type surface around me. I hate not being able to control the air flow in my space. It's dual purpose. I did the whole status merry go round and it's nice to have the fan for the free cruises. It drowns out the noise from the hallways at night and provides airflow that is sometimes also lacking in the rooms. Love your content! Keep it going.

    Flew the Jamco seats on the 787-10s, 772 and 773, and their 787-9 seats are better ime. The magnetic door closure is quite hard, and you feel it every time the passenger behind you open and close it. Also like you said, the foorwells aren't as comfortable as the 787-9. The seat quality is also questionable - those newly refurbished 777s are already showing a lot of chipping and wear.

      I didn’t have that experience with the magnetic door closure (feeling the passenger behind me), but I can definitely see how that could be an issue. And I’m not sure why they would design a seat and not think about how cramped a narrow footwell would be. It’s disappointing when a new product comes out and they don’t think through the important things. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I thought it was unusual that a 777 wouldn't have air vents, I always thought that was an Airbus "innovation." I agree with you that 7 hours for a transatlantic flight is too short to really fully enjoy business class. In my limited experience with KLM, I found the flight crew to be memorable as well. I also thought the commemorative Delft house was a very nice touch. On my last visit to Amsterdam, I had actually planned for a daytrip to Delft to see the factory, but it was snowy and icy that day, so I opted for the Anne Frank house tour, which was incredible.

    • @MelsMilesandPoints
      @MelsMilesandPoints 20 дней назад

      I was surprised too, and sooooo disappointed. I don’t know who ever decided eliminating individual air vents was a good idea 😅 I’m glad to hear you had a memorable flight crew too, and I must put visiting the Delft factory on my list for my next trip to Amsterdam! I’ve done the Anne Frank house tour too, and it was very memorable. There’s a similar place to visit in Haarlem (just outside of Amsterdam) that touched me even more - it’s called the Hiding Place. If you are ever back in the area, I highly recommend it!

    That transfer bonus via Bilt was awesome! I've flown KLM int'l a cpl times now, as well as Air France. The experience was good - not great. I didn't find the lay-flat seats on either to be comfortable. I did however find the meals to be really good 9/10👍🏾 As for the service, I'd give KLM & AF 8/10 - good not exceptional imo. I think the hard product on both could be improved. The angularity and lack of privacy on the AF Bus class flt left me wanting😄 Great review Mel!😊

      Yes, the KLM seat was strangely narrow in the footwell, so I understand completely what you mean. I might have been lucky, but my flight attendants were soooo friendly and nice. That was probably my favorite thing of all ❤️

    I fly a lot, mostly to and from Europe. I usually fly British Airways, American, and Delta. I have occasionally flown Aer Lingus and United over the years when I have to. Nonetheless, I do not consider myself an American loyalist, but find that American and British Airways to be my favorite Business Class product of the main, large, full price/service airlines. Why? There always seems to be a downside to a flight. From the food, to the service, to the cleanliness, baggage, delays, something is always lacking on many of the flights I have flown over the past several years. Overall though, I have always had a decent meal on American, some delicious and some just ok, but never terrible. I am sorry that you had the experience you had with your meal. I agree with some of the commenters that you should have just asked for another meal. I also think the flight attendant should have asked how your meal was and if there was anything else you needed. However, sometimes service is lacking by all flight attendants on all the airlines and they do not follow-up (though there are some airlines that always provide superior service, but the flight lacks in other areas). The only complaint I have ever had with American was the attitude of some of the flight attendants. On some flights, they have been very arrogant or lack attentiveness. However, recently it has been exactly what one would expect in Business class. Maybe it is because AA's flight attendant's contract was renegotiated after several years of substandard pay? I don't know, but the last few trips have been great. So, for those of you watching this video, know that the meals are usually good to excellent. I am sure there is always going to be that situation where a selection is not good. If another selection were requested, it would have been nice to compare the two, to see if the other selection was just as bad. By the looks of the meal, it looks to have not been all that fresh. Since I haven't flown the ORD to LHR segment in years, I was curious to see what the flight would be like. It is videos like these that help me make decisions on whether I should or not. So as always, thank you for your content and your opinion.

      Thanks for taking the time to let me know about your experiences with AA. I’m glad to hear the food has been good for you! My experience may have been an off day for them for all I know. I just share the experience I have for whatever it’s worth. I’ll definitely try to give them another chance in the future. I also agree with you completely that every flight has good points and bad.

    For me too, this lounge was an incredible experience twice in the very early morning...almost no decent food - no drinks at all except soft drinks and coffee or tea...why this lounge is so praised - no one knows...

      Really?? That shocks me. I’ve only been twice, but both times were excellent. I’m sorry to read your experience was less than ideal.

    I was on the same airplane, the 787-800 from Ohare to Barcelona and the same meals were served. I thought the chicken was decent, the sauce helped it along. The hot fudge sundae was amazing! The room in business class with the lay flat seats were sooo awesome! Plenty of room and the seat was comfy. The headphones are wonderful too. The service was excellent, as always in business/first class. Flying back from London to Charlotte on the same 787-800 plane, food was delish, service superb and the seats were comfy. I used my house slippers that they gave me whenever I had to use the restroom. After these experiences on an airplane, it is hard to fly in economy…don’t know if I will ever fly in economy again. Oh and I too visited the Flagship Lounge in Ohare and I had a wonderful experience in there too. I used one of the shower suites before catching my flight to Barcelona…highly recommended!
