Imagine you book a Business Class Flight and not only you receive a „downgrade“ to premium economy but also you have Liam setting next to you with his complete camera setup filming the hole cabin😂😂😂
@@officalbananay it’s basically just premium economy since it’s not a lay flat and it hasn’t got that much leg room. I’ve seen premium economies better than this tbh
@@ThePointsGuyDepartures Are you able to complain and get some refunded? Or do they cover themselves via the small print? That seat was pretty much identical to Norweigens “premium” offering that I’ve taken before.
@@raychul33 Unfortunately no refunds for equipment change. That’s just the name of the game. That’s the risk of you fly with an airline with lots of different equipment.
You guys need to do a class comparison of a SWISS long-haul flight from Zürich on their 777! SWISS service is legendary and they’re a premium airline, so curious to see what you think
I was disappointed with personnel and service on Swiss flights, with couple of exceptions. Enjoyed 777 flight to NYC from ZH but only one flight attendant was doing a great job.
@@lilianapanic-razorhorse4895 I’m sorry to hear that! I’ve been doing the NYC-ZRH and NYC-GVA flights for over 16 years and although the hard product and ground staff have at times needed improvement, the staff on board have been consistently better than both SWISS’s sister airlines and also a lot of its competitors. I’d encourage you to give it a try again!
apart from personnel, i don't think it has anything good. Food is subpar, seats are better than some EU airlines, worse than a lot of other airlines, d gate lounge is decent but i prefer using others. that being said, i can expect these things to be consistent.
Great video! i watch many flight reports on youtube and can say that the call bell challenge is definitely something i saw for the first time. its a great touch!
I’m pretty that there was an equipment swap since most seats in Business Class were booked to get more money but while with throne seats decreasing the Business capacity when there was more business demand.
At least you got some sort of a full meal. I flew on them number of times due to my job and it was kind of a chartered flight, and all we got was a a hard cheese sandwich. The IFE was shotty at best if the screens ever worked. And my flights were constantly 4.5 -5 hours going to work and 2.5 leaving work. And the landings, were always super rough and painful
Where there was no plan to rescue during pandemic in early 2020 from Dubai airport, it was fly Dubai which rescue alot of standard passengers including us. Thanks flydubai for your kindness.
Wow - this is quite the swap…! I booked ANAs ‘the Room’ for my Heathrow to Sydney flights back in March. We then got swapped onto a much smaller plane, which still had a decent offer, but nowhere near what ‘the Room’ promised when booking…!
call bell challenges are just stupid, they do it once, so they are using a sample size of 1. If you really want a more accurate idea they need to do it fight in flight out.... it's just another stupid gimmicks they do in their vids
@@charlesjay8818 well, great service should be shown throughout the flight meaning it shouldn't matter when or how many times he clicks the button. The challenge is not that useful really but it could show us viewers what the service respond time is like
FlyDubai appears to be a budget airline that just goes through the motions of offering business class. OK, maybe this was their backup plane, and Liam did get a decent dinner, but otherwise it wasn't the experience he expected - or paid for. I think a partial refund is in order.
One of my favourite anecdotes about Dubai Airport (apart from the train you take to change terminals) is the McDonald’s which had such huge portions that I wolf down everything so I could board my flight on time.
lol 3:01 and 3:09, did you forget to delete one of the takes? He says the same line twice. "So the first thing to know about this lounge is it's absolutely enormous."
if this happend in mainland China(aircraft changed from lie flat seat to normal business class seat ).you can change flight for free or cancel flight with no charge, sometimes they may allow you change flight to other airline that has lie-flat. But like flight in Europe. only a few route have lie flat.
Great review. Now, I know you two from somewhere. I’ve met you both. But I can’t think where I met you. Did either of you go to Leeds Metropolitan University.?
Guys I'll have to be really honest so do forgive me, but I think you're being a tad too dramatic about the whole thing... An economy seat is very often just an economy seat and I really struggle to see how this could be noticeably narrower than any other Y seat on any other 737-800... plus calling a -800 with Sky Interior an "old plane" is a tad hyperbolic in my book (time to check the definition of old maybe) just because it has credit card swipe openings??mmmm.. The business class seat is certainly not as nice as the throne seat on the max, but it is still a decent hard product for a low cost airline that flies mid-hauls on narrow bodies... The video still gets thumbs up from me!😄
Not really impressed with Dubai Airport when I used it. Plane was parked at a very remote stand. Only just made it to the business class lounge when the flight was called and by the time I reached the gate boarding hasd already begun - bus transport to another very remote stand
Fly Dubai's general idea is to get you to your destination, it's a budget airline that doesn't focus on giving you an "experience" . I'm half way through the video and it already looks sad
You guys were just in bad luck. I flew flydubai back in February from DXB to OTP, and upgraded myself to business, it was a proper lie flat seat, the food was below par but was compensated by the food I had at Emirate lounge earlier.
Enjoyed the video but gosh, rather cruel feedback. I’m not sure if you guys are aware that FZ isn’t a full-service carrier. It’s quite known as a budget airline. Having flown with them twice from DXB-CTA-DXB I personally find this low-cost carrier one of the best among 5 other budget airlines. You’re probably sour over the swap. Anyhow interesting video
I have experience fly with Flydubai from DXB T2 to SJV Sarajevo Bosnia. My luggage broken, then one of Arab lady took my seat because she want to sat next to her husband. I feel frustrated! but the cabin crew and meal service no problem to me....
This business look like the air canada business on their 737 Max 8 difference is the Max 8 fly regional flights in Canada and USA. Pretty much feels like premium economy.
I can understand the disappointment over the aircraft change for the business experience, but for the economy, on a low-cost airline, you can't pretend anything more. Even on the 737MAX you were not going to have a pillow/blanket/amenities etc. YOu only have a screen per seat, but it can be used only by paying
Someone your height doesn’t really need the front or bulkhead row, which you got. It’s really difficult for people like me (6’3”) to sit most places in economy, but average height people will never understand.
in my opinion, flydubia is good for a cheap price.. but will never fly with them on a long flight, no more than 90mins.. flew round trip from Kuwait to UAE a couple of time.. dont really like the services
Once I had to book a flight online on behalf of a friend from Asia, after booking they emailed me that it isn't in their policy to accommodate bookings on behalf of citizens of South-east Asia countries, basically discrimination & they charged 30% for refund
Seriously? That's messed up. This is coming from someone who gets discriminated against by SE Asians. They can be extremely mean to certian minority groups. But there are some really nice people there and would never condone someone being discrimintory towards them.
After being subscribed to you for over 3 years now, you haven’t let me down. Another great video, like always! Keep it up!
Thanks so much Ralph!

It isn’t premium economy, it’s their old business class.
@@officalbananay it’s basically just premium economy since it’s not a lay flat and it hasn’t got that much leg room. I’ve seen premium economies better than this tbh
I'm a huge fan of the Call bell challenge ❤
@@bowei4237because it’s a 737-800. A narrow body aircraft. Isn’t much space to do stuff
I’d be fuming if I paid for a business class seat and got that!
I was! 😂 (this is Liam)
@@ThePointsGuyDepartures Are you able to complain and get some refunded? Or do they cover themselves via the small print? That seat was pretty much identical to Norweigens “premium” offering that I’ve taken before.

“appears to be a budget airline that just goes the through the motions of offering business class.” You summed up Dubai perfectly

How many comments do u wanna make bro
@@iingardinhio6173 Who’s counting?
@@PokhrajRoy. me, half the comments were you at one point 😂
Well, the max has lie-flat business seats, while the other ones don't. RIP Liam's expectations.
Really enjoyed each of your demos of the foot space, and of the foot rest! 😉
lol 3:01 and 3:09, did you forget to delete one of the takes? He says the same line twice. "So the first thing to know about this lounge is it's absolutely enormous."
Clicked as soon as I could. Great to see you lads!
Let me know if I did that wrong 🤣 - A USA subscriber.
Love your videos guys
Love your content and i think you guys are one of my favourite youtubers
Yes Liam we know its enormous. Great video as usual. :)
You guys should do Qantas review in every class in the service from London to Singapore with Qantas
I agree. Flying Qantas First Class this Thursday. Love to know how it compares. ✈️
Nice to see my city on your channel - Warsaw here! :)

Test LOT now. Greetings from Lublin,Poland
If you fly lufthansa from frankfurt to madrid, the business is just economy seats with one seat free in between. what you got there is so much better

Hey how much did it cost to upgrade in fly Dubai?
**ahem** KLM -- lmao
Thanks guys. Great video, awesome music as always, and truly and outstanding travel capture for us. Stay safe guys
Love your vidssss...... waitin for you guys to try AIR INDIA........

Of course Corona Beer was available on the flight WHAT IMPECCABLE TIMING 🔥
Amazing video
Can you do a review of LOT polish airlines pls?
can you guys please visit Australia and review Qantas?
My flight in premium economy on my TUI flight in January was better than the so called ‘Business class’ presented here.
Not Nicky testing the Dinner Roll against their teeth 😂
I have experience fly with Flydubai from DXB T2 to SJV Sarajevo Bosnia. My luggage broken, then one of Arab lady took my seat because she want to sat next to her husband. I feel frustrated! but the cabin crew and meal service no problem to me....
I would have made her move. Had folks try this on me. If they ask I always say yes. If they just take it, nope.
This business look like the air canada business on their 737 Max 8 difference is the Max 8 fly regional flights in Canada and USA. Pretty much feels like premium economy.

are you still here?

I will not hear any Airport Bus Shuttle Slander. I think they happen to be quite fun!
The exact same scenario happened to me. From Max serious to -8
Someone your height doesn’t really need the front or bulkhead row, which you got. It’s really difficult for people like me (6’3”) to sit most places in economy, but average height people will never understand.
Good job
Could you possibly do a video where you fly from Stockholm Arlanda airport? Would love to see you check out that airport!
Cearly Nicky has lost his cool re swap of plane, LOL! Great video!
Hello guy i ❤️ your videos in plane
love you guys
25 minutes is nothing compared to Schiphol AirPort atm, waiting lines are around 2/4 hours.
try kuwait airlines next please! Plus cool videos I enjoy watching your videos!
Little does Nicky know that a sweaty brow in the Middle East is not the only problem lol
Europe is going through a major heatwave at the moment.
in my opinion, flydubia is good for a cheap price.. but will never fly with them on a long flight, no more than 90mins.. flew round trip from Kuwait to UAE a couple of time.. dont really like the services
this flight model crased few times
The new and fixed maxes are good in business
One good thing about a bus gate.... Plane spotting.
Did you get money back on the plane change and seating arrangement?
Nicky: "It's a great coffee". You asked for Flat white...
The 'on the ground' graphic screams Microsoft paint against the crisp graphics in the rest of the video. Good content as always though
We Polish people welcome you Nicky and Liam into our country
Ha I stood in the check in line for 2 and a half hours at Sydney
those fritters look good
Hi when are you coming to uk?? I work with BA in warsaw and would love to meet you!
I also flied business about 3 weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get the one in the 737 max
It must be the economy version. like BA OR Virgin and Rynair or Easyjet going on a long haul.
You are both hilarious❤️🥰
First time seeing a FlyDubai plane and it looks very nice
Am I flying to Warsaw on FlyDubai? Yup
hi ! in Economy what number did you have? did you have extra legroom? tks
I have a feeling that either the plane you were supposed to be in is damaged and or is infected.
