- Опубликовано: 22 июн 2022
- We flew with FlyDubai from Dubai to Warsaw, Poland in business class and economy! On this particular flight, Liam snagged the seat up front while Nicky sat in the back. All was going well until boarding commenced...

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.
@@ThePointsGuyDepartures did they inform business passengers that the aircraft had been changed?
@@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.
That was business class! Just on a different aircraft type
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😂😂😂
I’d just join him and ask for a Shoutout
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
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!
@@ThePointsGuyDepartures thanks for making great content
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 flying to London today for the first time, very excited
Have fun :)
I seriously love watching ur comparison best aviation vids on web
Yes another upload looking forward to it 👏
"Seat made from concrete"
🤣🤣🤣
Love the honest reviews!
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.
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!
@@dimitrissmith3768 2 sister Airlines? 😅 Austrian, Lufthansa, Brussels, Edelweiß, AirDolomiti…
@@heindoof9 yes, better than all of them!!
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.
Nice video, greetings from Poland!
As an airplane enthusiast, i really loved ur channel the most, keep it up @The Points Guy UK
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.
I was surprised that you were flying to my city - Warsaw. I hope that you enjoyed your stay here :)
Quote of the Day: “I think this seat is made out of concrete. Pretty sure.”
Omg the Intro is too cute! I love Nicky and Liam as my favourite underrated comedy duo ♥️
Really enjoyed each of your demos of the foot space, and of the foot rest! 😉
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
Please make a comparison between flydubai and Emirates. I would love that. Thanks you for the amazing video. Keep up the good work!
Love the comparison videos!🤗❤❤
Nicky saying what every single economy passenger thinks about them bread rolls is gold 😂
W
Love you video guys
Keep up the good work 👍👍
New to this channel! Great job guys 👏
Cheers from San Diego California
Thanks so much John!
@@ThePointsGuyDepartures loving these videos but any tips for a 4 hour flight to Spain 🇪🇸
Clicked as soon as I could. Great to see you lads!
Let me know if I did that wrong 🤣 - A USA subscriber.
Well, the max has lie-flat business seats, while the other ones don't. RIP Liam's expectations.
Love your videos guys
Yes Liam we know its enormous. Great video as usual. :)
Love your content and i think you guys are one of my favourite youtubers
Nice to see my city on your channel - Warsaw here! :)
Nicky not flying premium is causing me psychosomatic pain but I’m overjoyed that Liam gets to be Bougie so now equilibrium has been achieved lmao
Liam dragging a certain airline through the mud in that Call Bell Challenge was a power move 😂
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
Love ur content
Welcome in Warsaw 😍 Hope You'll have a nice time here. Maybe someday You can make a video about LOT flight 😁
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.
“appears to be a budget airline that just goes the through the motions of offering business class.” You summed up Dubai perfectly
Test LOT now. Greetings from Lublin,Poland
Hi Nicky keep the work up
**ahem** KLM -- lmao
Thanks guys. Great video, awesome music as always, and truly and outstanding travel capture for us. Stay safe guys
Amazing video
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."
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.
How many comments do u wanna make bro
@@iingardinhio6173 Who’s counting?
@@PokhrajRoy. me, half the comments were you at one point 😂
Of course Corona Beer was available on the flight WHAT IMPECCABLE TIMING 🔥
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. ✈️
Cearly Nicky has lost his cool re swap of plane, LOL! Great video!
Not Nicky testing the Dinner Roll against their teeth 😂
Fly dubai is middle eastern spirit airways
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…!
What plane did you get swapped onto?
@@oscar39 you can see on my videos, but dreamliners
Liam, that's not their NEW BUSINESS CLASS. I will be devastated IF i got this recliner instead of LFB Seat.
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
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
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.?
love you guys
Hello guy i ❤️ your videos in plane
You are both hilarious❤️🥰
My flight in premium economy on my TUI flight in January was better than the so called ‘Business class’ presented here.
Love your vidssss...... waitin for you guys to try AIR INDIA........
👀
Good job
By the way, this is a budget airline .... I don’t think it’s not fair to compare with legacy carriers !
Nicky: "It's a great coffee". You asked for Flat white...
Could you possibly do a video where you fly from Stockholm Arlanda airport? Would love to see you check out that airport!
I will not hear any Airport Bus Shuttle Slander. I think they happen to be quite fun!
We Polish people welcome you Nicky and Liam into our country
The 'on the ground' graphic screams Microsoft paint against the crisp graphics in the rest of the video. Good content as always though
FlyDubai is a budget airline you should also compare the prices with other airlines
this flight model crased few times
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.
try kuwait airlines next please! Plus cool videos I enjoy watching your videos!
Can you do a review of LOT polish airlines pls?
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.
Hey how much did it cost to upgrade in fly Dubai?
The exact same scenario happened to me. From Max serious to -8
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
Did you get money back on the plane change and seating arrangement?
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.
When Liam stated that the t.v. looked like it was far, it may actually be different if he were not in the front row. That is because the front row may give more leg room when the t.v. would typically be on the seat if within rows.
good comment... dumb as f£$k to book the front seat then complain that the screen is too far hahaha
Take two!
those fritters look good
I'm your fan from Italy in Dubai
are you still here?
love to meet you
The new and fixed maxes are good in business
One good thing about a bus gate.... Plane spotting.
I also flied business about 3 weeks ago and I was lucky enough to get the one in the 737 max
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.
can you guys please visit Australia and review Qantas?
First time seeing a FlyDubai plane and it looks very nice
Am I flying to Warsaw on FlyDubai? Yup
I have a feeling that either the plane you were supposed to be in is damaged and or is infected.
Ha I stood in the check in line for 2 and a half hours at Sydney
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
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
Flying flydubai economy in two days, this didn’t bring my stress levels down but quite the opposite 😅
Random Question but what backpack has Liam got? Looks a great size
hi ! in Economy what number did you have? did you have extra legroom? tks
Hi when are you coming to uk?? I work with BA in warsaw and would love to meet you!
The “lovely” count was down in this video 😉
I would make a complaint if that was the business class product I paid for!!
25 minutes is nothing compared to Schiphol AirPort atm, waiting lines are around 2/4 hours.
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.
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!😄
We need more Dan! "Wine? They are serving wine? Is this a restaurant?"
That seems like ages ago
@@hollyheaphy1370 And it still had stuck with me. He was a good sales guy. British Airways video if you want to go back and watch it. :D Starts at 10:01 on that video.
You guys make a great pair! What happened to Jean?
hey its not a premium AIRLINE so stop under rating it.
