LATAM 777-300ER Business Class Trip Report
A recent flight review on LATAM's Brazil-based 777-300ER Premium Busines Class from London's LHR to Sao Paulo GRU. Featuring the airline's signature Business Class product. While the seat is a little bit older, is it really the best in South America? As the long-haul workhorse for Sao Paulo, is the 777-300ER still competitive. Well, maybe for the region, but what did we think of the overall product?
With still some room for improvement, this could be on track to become the best airline in the world, after all, it's sitting on a melting pot of tastes, designs and cultures, but there are still some clear areas to step up to the mark.

China Airlines 777-300ER Business Class Trip Report - Design Airline of Asia!
Просмотров 17 тыс.3 месяца назад
On my return flight from Japan, I was able to put the China Airlines 777-300ER through its paces and see why TheDesignAir rated the airline as the Best Design Airline in Asia. Just like the A350, this Business Class product is still one of the best in the skies. Is this the best business class in Asia? This Taiwanese carrier certainly holds its own and the love-it-or-hate-it interiors are anyth...

I flew on the very first flight from Brussels (BRU) to Nairobi (NBO) on June 3rd 2024 with Brussels Airlines, launching the important connection between Belgium and Kenya once again. It's the first time I had flown since the carrier had undergone its renovation, and it was great to see the 'Boutique Hotel' in the sky in action, although where I found the hotel touches wasn't exactly where I exp...

I was lucky enough to fly on @HawaiianAirlines very first 787 flight from Los Angeles to Honolulu in the airline's much awaited new First Class cabin. Originally announced a few years ago, this brand new seat is the same as @qatarairways QSuite on its new 787 fleet, but Hawaiian has decided to deliver a much more comprehensive design palette. While this was a domestic First Class flight, the ai...

Austrian Airlines 777 Business Class Trip Report

One of my final trips of 2023 was on @AustrianAirlines flying from London to Chicago via Vienna, allowing me to experience both their newest aircraft, the A320neo and one of their oldest, the Boeing 777. Austrian isn't known for a state-of-the-art hard product, but the airline's soft product, service and food and drink is what it is better known for. But how does the airline stack up against th...

I recently flew on Delta's Delta One product from LAX to JFK as part of a return trip from Stockholm (ARN) to Los Angeles LAX. While i flew outbound on Air France (review on this channel), my return was on Delta. Both are part of Skyteam. The total return cost was £2000 ($2500). While I've flown on the airline's newer A330 Neo product (review also on the channel), I hadn't experienced the older...

I got to experience Iberia's new 'Next' A350 Business Class from Mexico City to Madrid Airport which features the airline's latest business class product with doors. But does the muted new cabin exude class or is something missing? Check out my review to see what I thought of the overall product? While many people tease that the crew aren't great on Iberia, on this particular flight, the crew w...

Taking a flight on @LOTairlines B787-9 flight from Warsaw to Chicago (and a LHR-WAW connecting flight). The 787 might feature the airline's best Business Class product, but after spending £1800 return, how does this lower-cost lesser-known product stack up on this flight review? Considering LOT Business Class often comes up cheaper than its European counterparts, was i going to experience a bas...

Taking a flight on @AirFrance's B777-300ER flight from Paris (CDG) to Los Angeles (LAX). The 777 might feature the airline's signature First Class product, but how does the ageing Business Class seat stack up on this flight review? Has the airline lost its magic touch, or is it holding its own on a very crowded and popular Trans-Atlantic route? There were a few issues to overcome, but with exce...

Turkish Airlines A350 Business Class trip report
Amazing video! I’ll was wondering if they offered headphones and this answers that!
Great video. I was looking at carriers for my honeymoon. I was going to overlook, but you have changed my mind!
Grrreat flight review! May I ask what's that song you used in 9:45? I couldn't shazam it! Thanks :)
ok for a boeing BUT airbus shites all over it .
I had a wonderful time ...Latam is Amazing❤
Of course, of course BA has the worst lounge at Heathrow. It would be astonishing if it were otherwise.
You and your boyfriend are handsome guys!
in addition, china airlines also has the most gorgeous livery out of all the asian airlines. its been there for years but its still beautiful
I wish I can fly this in 2039!
This is the first time I noticed a handicap-accessibility indicator on a seat, that's amazing. Now I wonder if I've failed to see that on all my trips before -- love this vlog, well-done! Cheers!
Or, parabéns! :D
Femininet men serving really annoys me. Depressing grey interior , hardly inspiring. Food looked nice but again not inspired.Ill stick with Singapore Airlines.
Very nice video, I'll be flying from London to NY in Virgen Atlantic business class A330-900 and you really showed us how beautiful this plane is and the very professional way you explained all details. Thank you! Great report.
Thanks so much! Enjoy your flight!
Hm, noticed quite abit of filth in crevices around the seat. Hard pass.
Thank you! Really clear perspective and a beautifully shot video. the standout element for Latam from your video: the breakfast tray!
Thanks David!
Disappointed about your comments about Latin American airports, it’s unfair to generalize. I invite you to come to see Costa Rica’s Juan Santamaría airport and time how much it takes to get to your outbound flight’s gate.
I really don't understand how the majority of Asian airlines get everything so right, and a huge Western group like Lufthansa are just meh.
@3:23 I dunno man, 3 types of vodka in an icewell and you're saying "it's nothing to write home about". Anyways lol great trip report!!!
@0:53 what do you mean the LH lounge in LHR is inferior? They have Do+Co catering, self-serve booze including shelf whiskeys, and a coke machine. The Senator area is the same but less riff-raff. LH is truly the best second best lounge in T2 after the SG lounge (1.5 mile walk away each direction), UA is fantastic but catering is inferior to LH, and we all know AC is glorified arctic carbon-tax DEI lesbian garbage fire. What is the best lounge in LHR for you?
I book travel and these videos are great for me to send to clients. Thanks.
Nice Cabin,Great Video And Info
Thanks so much! Appreciate it!
As an airline employee, i really appreciate your review. We are working on our new seats !
Thanks so much, and good to hear the cabin is getting a refresh!
4 choices for entree and you are saying that is insufficient? Not sure your expectations are right.
Appreciate the feedback. It's the lack of choice for starters, mid-flight snacks etc. When compared to other carriers who adopt the 'Premium' moniker like China Airlines who offer 3-michelin starred meals and a range of midflight meals on similar length flights, the overall dining concept needs a tiny bit more... oomph!
great video
Thanks so much!
Great report as usual. Not sure how I feel about the latex gloves 🧤. Spending November in South America flying with COPA, Avianca and Aerolineas Argentinas…..a bit apprehensive about service quality.
Yes it was a little strange. The good news was i got the all clear... ;-) Enjoy your flights! Do let me know how you get on!
I'm flying with Virgin to Washington in a few weeks and my plane has just been changed to a Neo - I'm flying Upper Class so I'm excited to try the individual seats
Let me know how it goes! Hope you enjoy!
You look so stylish!
Haha, thank you!
The food looks horrible
I'm glad that China Airlines has become so good. More than ten years ago, its flight safety record was terrible, with one plane crashing every four years.
Yes it's now a really underrated, excellent carrier.
Wow your guesswork is pure hyperbolic crap. Before you post check reality. 👎👎👎
I think this seat is perfectly fine for a 4-5 hour transcon flight. I would avoid it for anything longer, as the A330-900neo and 767-400 seats are far superior. I'll be in this seat on an upcoming LAX-HNL flight, albeit not a true D1 experience. As you mentioned, the lounge and check in experience in LAX are really excellent and better than AA or JetBlue, the latter of which has no lounge at all. As a SEA-based Delta flyer, I actually wish we had these 763s for our transcon flights. We generally get stuck on a 737-900 or A321neo when flying to ATL, BOS or JFK. The neo is certainly nice and shiny, but the seat is exceptionally uncomfortable on 5+ hour flights.
And it's got even better thanks to the new LAX Delta One lounge too!
😀
I love myself 😂😂😂😂
;-)
Thanks for the review - I never flew with China Airlines, but I opted for their A350 flight recently in business class from Seattle to Taipei. They are one of four airlines (the others - EVA, Starlux, Delta) with direct flights from Seattle to Taipei, and I appreciate them scheduling a 1:10 am departure, to stay within my Pacific time zone sleep cycle, vs Delta, for example, that departs in the early evening. The China Airlines cabin crew also had a great attitude, and was very customer-focused - I was never made to wait for any service request. I pre-ordered my meals, and everything tasted good - considering it is airline food. China Airlines also offers promotional free 12-hr internet access, you just have to navigate a few emails to get the promo code before boarding. Delta charges you $28.95 for internet access. Overall, when compared to my return leg on a Delta Airlines A330NEO in their D1 Suites, the CI A350 experience was better.
IB J is a pretty poor product, but far its standard is the incredible selection of Spanish language IFE.
lol, "hollar" jesus christ cringe. and imagine calling that dried out 60C internal temp salmon "perfectly cooked" d'oh
This is promotion lol
It's actually not. I paid for this ticket!
WOKE staff , Men in skirts and makeup, NOPE 👎 not for me,
Wow just wow I can n only dream to fly on the mint suites! That service looked absolutely perfect especially the food...I wonder what the economy serves.
How does the a330 compare to an a350 ? Noise levels etc
The A330 is still an older model, so yeah, the noise is a little more, but still, the noise on the A330 and A350 is much less than on the 777 i've always found.
Best flight I’ve ever had was in Mint from NY to Vegas - Absolutely stunning!
I still get extremely mad when I see there still are people who don’t give a flying f0ck about other people’s privacy. YOU DO NOT POST VIDEOS WITH RECOGNIZABLE FACES. We all really need to start pressing charges for every single intrusion.
I hate these narrow body aircraft’s when traveling more than 3 hours.
That's what seat upgrades are for.
China Airlines food qualities has been all the same levels for least 15 years which is really good!
their business class has been improved compared with 15 years ago,and the food quality remain the same level which is a good thing.I really like their air crafts design and the entire ambiance is comfy. i also recommend their premium economy!
I went to Bora Bora for my 10 year anniversary and I’m going back again in a couple of months for my 15th year anniversary. It was the nicest flight that I’ve ever taken for long-distance travel. I rode economy on the way there, but after coming back, I was no way going to not try the first class seats. Let me tell you they were the most amazing seats I’ve also had the pleasure of sitting in. The flight crew were also some of the most amazing and beautiful people you could have ever met. Yes it’s expensive and unfortunately, I won’t be riding first class again this time, but just for the people and they’re amazing Spirit and the atmosphere that the Polynesian islands give , this was my first choice for my anniversary

Very informative. I'm flying cph-bru-nbo in 2 days and 2 years ago, I think I flew LH? Well, some airline in star alliance. I got a great price when I booked my ticket back in March.
