      Seriously Noel you should know better than to go shoeless into the lav. You’ve flown enough and seen the mess people make with certain body fluids. Men don’t aim well and in a mild bit of turbulence they are going to miss and pee on the floor. The same floor you are stepping on shoeless.
      It you were out on the town and needed to use the loo would you go shoeless into the lav??? No you wouldn’t.

      @Tvsnumber1fan Год назад +23

      This is why you buy slippers before you fly. They are really comfortable and you don’t need to take them off during a flight unless it’s an emergency. Also you should always be ready to put your regular shoes on if there is ever an emergency landing. Lastly don’t ware high heels when you fly because they can cause the emergency evacuation slide to become unusable amongst other problems. Also I don’t recommend wearing sandals on planes because of risks involved during an emergency. Lastly always wear clothing that is made with 100% natural materials such as cotton and wool because they are less likely to burn on to your skin during a fire or when you are going down the emergency evacuation slide due to the friction.

    I had a similar screaming child experience a few years ago flying Emirates Business class UAE to Manchester . The mother thought it was the flight crews responsibility to look after her young son. She brought nothing for him and was argue if with the crew when they had no toys of baby food for him. The child screamed for the whole flight while the mother ignored him. Still makes me cringe today and that flight was 10 years ago.

On that trip, the parents did at least try, for a while, but they seemed to give up after about 3 hours. At that point, the flight attendants took over and did what they could (this was ANA, so the cabin crew made a real effort), but it just never stopped, for 14 hours. That was the point when I bought my first set of noise canceling headphones. They do help.

    I feel for the mother of that crying baby. Two years ago my daughter was on a Tigerair low cost flight across Australia to Sydney with a two-year-old, followed by a long flight to Singapore with Scoot. The little one started to get upset on takeoff on Tigerair then vomited all over his Mum and the seat. Cabin crew were wonderful, they brought a complete replacement seat cushion, cleaned everything up, helped my daughter to clean herself up, cuddled and consoled the little one and generally made the flight tolerable. I repeat, that was on a low-cost airline. Then on Scoot to Singapore, again the little one was upset and crying. Scoot has a "no kids" section that you can select for just a few dollars extra so passengers who have decided not to pay for "no kids" should understand what they have chosen. But no, when the little one was crying the passenger opposite was enraged and abused his Mum and the cabin crew were totally unhelpful. Eventually she was forced to flee to the toilet where she sat holding him until he went to sleep then back to her seat where she held him asleep on her lap until arrival in Singapore. Friends, all kinds of people need to travel and parents can not always control their children's crying no matter how much they may want to. We adults, on the other hand, should be able to control our rage. Isn't that why we claim to be adults?

      @@alexspuswiss Do you have children Sandro? Some parents have no choice in the matter. Secondly, society is not a loose collection of individuals with rights and no responsibility for each other. Society is what makes all the facilities we use available. The taxes of parents with small children went into providing the facilities for your flight. The children, unless they are babies not occupying a seat, contribute to the cost of flying the plane. A parent with a restless infant can reasonably expect that people who identify as adults will control their impatience with some disturbance. It's not forever, at the most it's a few hours. If that's too hard, ear plugs or sound deadening earphones are available for a few dollars. Perhaps cabin crew should have them for sale.

    Having been to Egypt this video does not surprise me. We landed in Cairo and headed to the baggage carousel, upon which we waited 45 minutes for our bags to arrive. This would not have been so bad, but the bags came in waves 15 minutes apart. The first wave came after 15 minutes (business class bags maybe?), then another wave of bags 15 minutes later, then 15 minutes later another wave which included ours. We left, and there were still pax waiting for their bags to arrive. The carousel was serving only our flight! On the flight out there were two guys in plain clothes (not an airport uniform) "helping" you put your bags on the xray belt. Then both (very quietly) holding their hand out for the customary tip - each! It's just Egypt and the Egyptian way of life.

    Hi Noel! I’m a cabin crew member from Australia (Qantaslink B717) and you would be surprised how many people bring children and babies into business class. We get a lot of staff travelers who bring families into business. More often than not the kids are great but we did have one landing where the flight crew said they could hear the screams through the flight deck door!

The row in front of us had a family with 2 small children who screamed for most of the flight.

    To be honest, your experience sounds much the same as the flights I've had with EgyptAir.
    We flew to Egypt with them some time ago and we had broken seats, grotty lavatories, random delays, cabin crew that refused to allow us to open our window blinds for the entire Luxor - London flight for some reason, bad food, rude passengers and screaming babies, and the entire 747 had no pens for UK immigration forms to be completed so the one my Mum had got shared around the entire plane and we didn't see it for over 2 hours.
    We had a couple of internal flights with them and to be honest those were actually fine, but their long distance services are awful - both legs we had were as bad as each other. I'll definitely be avoiding them - even Air Koryo rated better from my experience when I flew with them - and the fact they haven't improved from when I used them to when this video was taken is shocking.

      Hell you can lie and that'll be good enough.
      Truth be told majority of delays, are crew related (waiting on someone with hours to make the flight or someone on the ground called off and someone is having to finish up elsewhere before checking on your plane)
      OR my favorite, any issue even a minor 1 like (for example one of my last flights) 2 screws missing in a non crucial panel and they were attempting (The Techs) to get ahold of engineering to see if it could be speed taped and deferred until the next stop or whatever they could have done and that took an hour)
      Usually if it's a "major" issue they'll cancel it pretty quickly and just try to rebook people if possible, does them no good to sit there delaying and delaying on a major issue HOPING it magically fixes it self quickly.

    Traveling with a baby is so exhausting. I remember we flew from Montreal to Paris when my son was only 4 months. He kept crying and no one on board could sleep, until one aboriginal women saved us and managed to calm him down.

    I sat next to a sick woman on a KLM flight for 10 hours in July 2019, she was coughing her lungs out most of the time. The stewardess told me I could go sit in the Pilot's seat and before I could tell her that I wont know how to fly the plane I realised that she meant the extra seat where he goes to take a rest. I decided to endure the torture and was so worried that I would pick up the germs and ruin my vacation but I was lucky that it did not happen

The things I didn't like I mentioned in my initial comment also regarding their fleet did you miss the parts of the video where the cabin was shown to be old and out of date with seats that didn't even lie flat

      15 Times to Cairo and further to Louxor with Egyptair. No problem. I enjoy the trip and look forward to going to Egypt every time. The images of Terminal 3 and the announcements in the background delighted me. Next stay in February, still Egyptair. Maybe in the end, it depends more on your way of living things. Try to be happy.

      1982 1 flew back to Nairobi from LHR on a Sudanair 707.
      At Khartoum most passengers got off leaving about 12 of us for Nbi.
      Then the lights went off and the surprised cleaners came on.
      'Plane no going..not enough passengers'.
      Stuck at Khartoum airport for 28 hours waiting for the next Nbi flight.

    It is why we pay extra for business class, to stay away from the crying kids, the idiots who play solitaire on the back of your seat for 8 hours, (like a chicken pecking on your back), and all the other "perks" that come with close human contact with those you don't know or necessary like. Long sentence, yes, but I feel your pain! I'll never book an airline on business class that allows children.
