KLM Economy Comfort 737-800 Bordeaux to AMS
Просмотров 511Месяц назад
Enjoy my flight review of my flight on KLM on their 737-800 in their economy comfort seat. I'll also show you some of the Bordeaux airport. I paid 17.5k KLM miles per person for this flight and an extra $17 per seat to move up to the economy comfort seat. These flights were selling for $480 each one way ticket so using miles was a no brainer. Thanks for watching!

That thing at 1:05 is a delicious chocolate haha, housekeeping places there.
Hi there, ahh ty great to know :)
I just came back from a 5 night stay at this hotel. The beds aren't the best, but the views are beautiful, close to some lovely beaches also
Hi there! Yeah I totally agree the beds suck :( Beaches and views are the best though!
@MilesMiser yeah the rooms are pretty outdated tbh, but the views and beaches are unreal, I like how the location is pretty calm and relaxed also, where as albuferia is pretty busy.
HOME OF THE PORTUGUESE ❤🇵🇹🇵🇹🇵🇹
:)
You wouldn’t bump your head on an A350
Probably not! lol well i guess it depends on how tall you are :)
In what month have you been there?
Hi there. I've been to Thialand in Sept. OCT. Nov. And March.
@@MilesMiser I’m thinking about going next September but I’m a little afraid of the weather…. What do you think?
@space_rl3534 Well, that's a great question. 1. The prices will be lower for flights and hotels as I believe it's still the rainy season. There should still be plenty of sun but rain and more rain.. don't quote me, but there seems to be an influx of box jellyfish in the rainy season, too :( end of Oct would be better but prices will creep up. Might be able to pre book some flights and hotels now to save a little, though. I've found the end of Oct into Nov to be nicer. Let me know how it goes. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it :)
Looks like economy on an Asian airline
Hi there. Well or their premium economy. That's what we have for Domestic FC here. Unless a Coast to coast flight is configured with the Long haul international cabin. Thanks!
Great video. I am a fan of JetBlue myself. Thank you for pointing out the little details that make a difference in your experience. Knowing where the outlet is located, how to recline your chair…all those things matter. 👍🏾
Hi and welcome to the channel! TYVM! I try and show stuff like that on most planes I review, well, because that's what i want to know too! That in how much leg room I get as I'm clos to 6'2 lol. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it :)
did you have to go thru customs and get a transit visa?
Hi there and welcome to the channel! As far as I recall it was just a quick security check not the full customs. We had gone through security screening prior to the flight. Customs was when you land in your final destination. Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it :)
What hotel were you staying in the video?
Hi, and welcome to the channel. The hotel was the IHG intercontinental Phuket. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
Hi 👋 it’s easy to found cheap restaurant nearby? Tanks 🇵🇹
Hi there and welcome to the channel. There's a few down the beach and behind the beach along the main road.
Hi. Where going there in April next year. Really looking forward to it..What room did you book? Weve booked a delux rm with balcony n seaview.😊
Hi There! We booked a partial Seaview room with a balcony. I wasn't a fan of the beds, they seemed a bit old and not too comfy for me. Hope you have a great vacation!
AA first class international transcontinental slaps, domestic is terrible.
Hi there. I 100% agree their long hual international cabin layout stomped domestic. Same mostly can be said for most other international long hual cabins on other airline as well to varying degrees. Thanks for watching
Cheer up you always seems dry and sad
Hi there. Yeah, I guess I do, but when I travel, it's rough and tiring sometimes for me :( Reality of travel when your over 50 like me is different than the fake all smiles youtubers, :(
I know that hotel very well. Not worth $300 a night. You could have stayed at the hotel right next to the airport. No beach but it's just a very short walk to the beach. And cleaner and cheaper. It use to be called Carib Beach Hotel. I do remember the food at Emerald Beach was good. And of coarse your on the beach. They both have nice pools. The Carib Beach Hotel is only maybe a half block from the airport. I lived on St Thomas for more than 30 years 🌴. I pretty sure the name has changed. Sorry I don't have that info.
Hi there, and welcome to the channel. Tyvm for the good info! I guess we wanted to stay on the beach and swim our last day there. But you're right it was costly :( Next time, I'll try the other hotel and compare :) Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
is this on the same road as the conrad and the athenee?
Hi there, the hotel indigo and Conrad are both on Wireless Road.
Completely modernizing this hotel on the interior was the worst thing they ever did. They should have modernized it but kept it classy on the inside. not this cookie cutter hotel room look
Hi there! Well I did stay in the new hotel rooms next to the old authentic hotel. I belive most of the old rooms just had minor facelights. The entry lobby more so.
@@MilesMiser her original room looks like a super 8
Ahh I gotcha. I walked around in the original part a bit. It was kinda creepy like something out of a haunted house.
@MilesMiser victorian designs are ornate and truly beautiful and should be protected at all costs. They give a creepy vibe just cause how old they are almost acting like a space frozen in time. With a building thats existed since the 1888, alot has happend there. You go into castles you get the same vibes sometimes as well.
@Da4knessFall5 I agree.
Please name of the hotel
Families by day, gay by night.
Thank you for your review! Im flying from TPA to SEA in first class. I'm disappointed that they don't have TVs! My flight wasn't cheap. I wish the tray table was not attached to the seat. Im plus sized and won't be able to use it. Thank you for posting this video!
Hi there and welcome to the channel! Yeah unfortunately a lot of the airlines now have removed lcd screens from FC and coach. Delta has them still on most of their planes. I too don't like the tray table in the arm of the seat as it reduces seat width :( Some seats on some airlines that aren't in the first row or bulkhead row will have the tray on the seat back in front. Hope you can still have a decent flight in spite of these issues. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it.
What was the hotel name that was shown in 13:17 of this video
Hi there. That is the IHG Intercontinental in Phuket, Thailand. Very nice place for sure!
Thanks !
The classic Disney train
Anyone else feel like this shouldn't count as First Class? I guess he says it himself that the seat is really just like a premium economy seat on another plane. Thanks for reviewing everything. Personally, Alaska Airlines, all you other airlines, I know I speak for quite a lot of people when I say "I don't care about the box of water and all these little inexpensive goodies. We want a seat with space and the ability to actually recline fully." That is what's important about first class. Quit trying to fill up the lack of what's really important to people with other relatively insignificant crap. The only reason I want to see a review of a first class or business class seat on ANY plane is to find out if the seats recline and how much space you have.
Hi there. Makes sense to me. I mean all domestic U.S. first class airline seats are like long haul prem econ. I so much prefer long hual JAL, ANA, Qatar, Virgin Atlantic business and fc. But domestically this is what we have. Aside for the acasional route coast to coast where some airline have their lie flat long haul seats. But those are few and far between. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Try sardines in your bread with olive oil. Supreme snack!!
Good tip ty. I'm more of a kippered herring fan, though :)
American Airlines is one of the worst, I flew from Miami to Guatemala and the flight got delayed 3 times, change gate twice and we were supposed to Fly at 10:30 am and we ended up flying at 5:45 pm, they blame the volcano that it was throwing ashes as the reason of the delay however every scheduled plane to land in Guatemala was landing with no problem, they never gave us water not food vouchers, completely careless about running our trip. The real reason for the delay was lack of staff
Hi there, and welcome to the channel! Yeah, they blamed our delays on weather, but in fact, it was because they didn't have a copilot :( They gave us a hotel voucher only after we stood in line for an hour and asked for one. But it was useless because the hotel was an hour away! United also blamed the volcano in Mexico for our flight cancelation when no other airline flights were canceled.. seems like they should just tell people hey we don't have the staff. Shrug
Did you know that is the most haunted hotel
Hey there. Yeah I had read about that. It felt creepy walking around in the old building.
$35 for babies. People still bring them
You sound absolutely miserable.
I hate how BA call this ‘business’ seats, I flew 4 hours to Turkey from Heathrow and I stupidly never realised that you do not get extra leg room unless you pay another addition for this, being 6 ft 5, it was not a very pleasant flight with my knees tucked firmly into the seat infront of me For this money you can fly business class with Turkish airlines (give or take £100 on specific flights) where you get your own dedicated pod BA do not do anything amazing to make me think I want to keep using them either
Hi there. This was part of an award flight second leg. I agree. Also Ba charges outrages fuel surecharges on certain routes. I do like their new business class for long hauls. But compared to Jal, Ana, Qatar they can't compete. I'm 6'1 so you at 6'5 it must have been even rougher for you :( Thanks for watching and commenting I appreciate it
What is the restaurant name?
Hi there! I believe it's called the LiLo Island restaurant.
@@MilesMiser thanks 😊
The BA Club Europe product is actually ok - Lounge, service, punctuality, etc EXCEPT for the SHIT cabin. Unless you are in Row 1 it is pretty appalling comfort-wise. I very rarely actually PAY for CE - it really sticks in my throat to give cash for the product. I use Avios every time I can - then it is bearable.
Hi there. I 100% agree. This was leg 2 of an award flight so it was decent. It also bothers me that BA sticks people with huge fuel surcharges on certain routes.. This award ticket boston to lhr to lis was a huge surcharge :(
thank you for visit ur contry🇹🇭
:)
There are others from New London who would do a circular route take the ferry to Orient Point from Orient Point bus to Greenport where they catch Long Island Railroad to New York Penn. back to New London Connecticut on Amtrak.
No book the cook option on the Manchester leg?
Hi there. I guess it wasn't :(
Great video! Thank you very informative. Is it possible to jump from your room to the beach? Water level seems very low. Thank you!
Hi there tyvm! Certain bungalows the waters too low at times. Ours was only chest height so it's probably not advisable. Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you!! 🙏
Is this a good fishing spot?
I don't know if fishing is allowed as people swim here
Thanks for actually featuring the info people care about and not clouds, you holding a camera up to your face, etc.
Hi, and welcome to the channel! Tyvm. I try to give honest reviews as I see them. But, do throw in a few engine views and clouds :( Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it :)
Nice video! I'm a KLM platinum member and if I fly economy I usually get this upgrade for free if it's offered on the plane (city hoppers don't have this class). I fly back today from Krakow to Amsterdam, on the way here I got the same sandwich and they also offered a banana bread. Too bad you're a little too early, in another 2 weeks time the tulip fields will be in full bloom and they fly right over them coming into Amsterdam. That's a beautiful sight. 🌷
Hey there! I would have preferred a banana bread to the cheese sandwich :) I do wish I could have seen the tulips all in bloom in Amsterdam :( one day! KLM is always a great airline for me. Got a couple more flights but nothing major plane until the fall, perhaps a big long international trip. we shall see :) Until then I might post my European city travels, maybe do a few U.S. based things. Thanks again !
I fly to Tampa in two weeks from now so hopefully will be able to catch the fields (if the weather is good). I like KLM and of course have a decent collection of the houses.❤
I want more klm houses :)
Hey, you might have mentioned in the past that you goto Milan a few times. Any recommendations there? Places worth spending hotel points on or places to see? Ever been to Naples? How about Frankfurt? Planning upcoming travel 😌
I love that at KLM meals are still comp on short flights. I think I got a similar sandwich when I flew and filmed my flight on Cityhopper from Dublin to Amsterdam in 2022. From one creator to another (and as a former mileage chaser myself), I just love watching your videos!
Hi there, and welcome to the channel! Tyvm, I really appreciate it! Yeah, in Europe and Asia, most flights in the economy will give you food even if it's an hour! Imagine that happening in the U.S. lol. Bangkok Airways and Thai Air do it, too. Thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate it :)
They even provide full service on the short flight from Southampton to Amsterdam.
Hey there. Oh wow that is awesome!
✝️🕊🇪🇭🍉❤✈💺🍏🇵🇷🇺🇸
lovely views, would you recommend this property?
Hi and welcome to the channel. Emerald beach is realy nice. If you can get a condo or rental closer to the beach it will save you a long walk up the hillside to the other rentals. If you can get one close to the beach go for it :)
❤Qatar airways because that was the first time I got upgraded from economy to business and there service and the crew onboard.
Yep! Qatar airways is definitely one of .y favorites too!
Interesting to see how it works.
Thanks!
What is the site you mentioned where you can view the cruise schedule?
Hi there and welcome to the channel. There's a few but here's one. www.vinow.com/cruise/ship-schedule/
Alaska air First Class has the best meals and Lounge
Gotta love Alaska airlines
Handsome
:)
Still wearing masks??
Videos from over a year ago. Some airlines still had mask requirements then.
That's too high of a rate. For that much I'd stay in a 4-star in the city center and not have those problems, and then take the Metro or Express shuttle to the airport. Also too high of an add-on for breakfast! Better off getting something post-security for a lot less.
Hi there, your 100% right. We were there during a soccer match and our air b and b in downtown madrid lost power so we had to find a place available. Combine that with the insane traffic. Apparently, the hotel jacked up the rates because of the match. It's sad, but we had to stay somewhere and my mom's flight left in the morn :( Also she's in her 70's so.
€167.00 is an outrageous price for an Ibis hotel, even without the problems you had. It’s a budget chain and they charged you a non-budget price.

2nd time watching this and just now caught the black bean comment :D
and salty nuts 😎
LOL, I sometimes say off the wall comments, wondering if anyone will catch it. 🤣
Beans on a plane on a long haul flight.. never a good idea. Or how about offering a cheese plate to me on that flight whose lactose is intolarate :)
