    Great video Jayden and welcome back! So nice to have the Thursday trip report back! It is so eerie to see HKG so quiet. Glad you were able to spend time in the cabana.

However, the lounge in Hong Kong was superb. 👍💯. I will be looking forward to your upcoming vlogs from London. Will you be returning to Hong Kong or are you going back to Australia? Either way, have a wonderful and safe trip. Take care buddy and have a pleasant and rewarding week. 🤗❤🛫🙏🌎

I have watched almost all of your videos as we are also based in Adelaide! In April this year, we will fly to Alice Springs from Adelaide on Virgin then return from Ayers Rock Airport to Sydney then on to Adelaide all on Qantas. Then our big exciting trip will be in July which is Sydney to LHR with British Airways in Premium Economy with a brief refuel in Singapore! So exciting to be flying again! I went from doing 10 long haul trips and 6 Inter-European trips in 2019 then moved to Adelaide in the October and then with covid, not done any international since a Feb 2020 ADL-LHR return in February! I am itching to get back on the long haul! Keep up the videos!!

    Great to see your blogs are back !
    Happy New Year, too !
    New Year, new intro, too, eh ?
    I bet you are enjoying being able to travel again .
    The plane, although a bit older, at least looked clean, and it helps alot on a longer flight if the crew is happy, polite and helpful.
    Crazy question, and a bit "off topic", but do you miss your cat back in Adelaide ?
    I am hoping your flatmates are now looking after it .

  • @PrisonerMusic
    @PrisonerMusic 2 года назад +10

    It was really shocking to see HKG airport end of last year and how quiet it was. The whole aircrew arrival testing setup was tiring and strict room confinement at the airport hotel was terrible but for the passengers 21 days must have been dreadful. I really miss HKG but I think it will be a very different place when we are eventually allowed back into the city. I fly on QR a lot and always try to avoid 777-300 sectors unless I can afford Qsuites and really surprised some of them still have the old seats, I haven’t seen them for years although they are comfy enough if you’re travelling in pairs. I would say the A350 or A380 is the best economy experience on QR and probably the 350 or 777 with Qsuites in business. Hopefully it’s not an A330 to LHR! Look forward to the next sector though.

    Hello Mr. Wong, so good to see you back and looking so chipper. Many Happy Returns and sorry you did not get to celebrate in style. I would be so jealous of your stay in HK but you had to endure those quarantine weeks which would have driven me insane so I cannot begrudge you and I bet it was great to touch base with your family. I get that health tea from time to time when my partner determines I am in need of a tonic, totally gross but I gather it works on the theory, what doesn't kill you makes you stronger: it has been touch and go at times. Many thanks

      Yes Alex a lot of airlines had the 2-5-2 layouts in the early days. I think some 747s had 2-5-3.
      Seat width makes a lot of difference for me. Especially in winter when I wear thick clothes sometimes. I tend to move a lot too during sleep so an extra inch helps a lot

      @alexmcwhirter6611 2 года назад +2

      @@JaydenWong Indeed. I am almost 100% certain that UA had that odd Y layout. Many complaints from customers hence UA had to change it. As for the original B747s from 1970 the Y layout was 9-across (10-across followed later in the 1970s as air travel demand picked up). Back in late 1970 I flew with one of the original PA B747s FRA-LHR (it was the famous RTW flight) and I recall the 9-across seating which was a lot more comfortable. In 1975 I made several long-haul B747 flights with JL: LHR-DELXXDEL-BKKXXBKK-LHR. In those days JL operated LHR-HND via what it termed the Silk Route (in addition to the Polar Route). These were multi-stop flights.

If that's what Airbus regards as "superficial" damage, then I would be horrified by their idea of 'serious' damage! Not an al-Baker fanboy, but the Qatari civil aviation authorities were right to order QR to ground these planes.

      This is absurd damage that needs to be more thoroughly addressed as it could lead to larger issues with the mesh lightening protection or the integrity the fuselage components due to exposure to the elements. The cavelier attitude of Airbus is problematic. I love the A350, but this is an issue. Full stop.

    • @shaunyip2153
      @shaunyip2153 2 года назад +11

      @Ari Parker Gladly. Paint forms the outer protective layer. Without paint the surface is without its first line of protection. When that happens the underlying mesh is exposed. This mesh protects the plane from lightning. After some time, holes may appear under the mesh. This is a bad thing. Holes on planes are not a good idea. Such holes are already in evidence on at least one QR aircraft.....you're welcome, 'Ari Parker'.

    The problem with Qatar is how fast they have expanded and this might backfire in the near future. Their products offered are very inconsistent because they have too many different types and often have aircraft changes, sometimes at the eleventh-hour. Also, although the service on board are usually good, the same cannot be said with their customer service on the ground, especially when you encounter an issue. It almost feels like a nicely packaged airline on the outside but has lots of issues to fix on the inside.

    QR has tons of different cabins. I don’t like the fact that it’s super inconsistent. You can be scheduled to fly on QSuite on the A350-1000 but because of aircraft change, your switched to the 777 with the super old business class. It’s really annoying. It’s not like Lufthansa for example where all the business class seats on wide body is the same, so even if you get an aircraft swap, you still know your getting the outdated and tired LH Business Product. QR Economy is also inconsistent, you could book a flight on the 350-1000 with the newer economy class but the aircraft gets swapped to the 777 with older economy. I think QR should work on streamlining there products so even if there is an aircraft swap, the customers will get more or less the same product as what they were originally expected. Great trip report as usual and Happy CNY!!

    This is an un-retrofitted 777. The updated ones have Q-Suites business class (you'll know that on booking). Anyway, this cabin is basically on par with Emirates' 777, which none of them has been retrofitted yet. So if you need a middle-east transit flight and all you can choose are Qatar's old 777 or Emirates' 777, basically you cannot avoid these products.
