    I recently flew with a puppy inside the cabin with Delta and have to say the crew was amazing and took good care of us. They brought my puppy water and let me hold my puppy during the flight. It made it a nice flight for both of us!

    United has always been awesome...
    One of the most satisfying crews i've ever had!
    KLM is also lovely.

    Thanks for these videos. I hope it will keep airline executives on their toes. This type of word of mouth advertising through your reviews are excellent and we get to see for ourselves through your balanced and fair reporting the good, the bad and the ugly of the airline industry. These videos help me make informed choices when I travel in Business class for leisure trips. I am flying Tokyo to Madrid via Bangkok in Business in October on TG (Thai) now I am inspired to make a review video too.

    GREAT VIDEO! Man I so enjoy watching these plane/travel summary...especially seeing the food lol
    Also a rare opportunity, saw a useful ad on your video about cheaper business/firstclass ticket; definitely educational.
    2 for 1 Deal :)

    Hello Homer. In a discussion with a pilot in another video the plastic cups were talked about. He pointed out that they use them on the ground for heath safety reasons because they're quickly disposed of as opposed to glassware that gets washed during flight time.

    Great video as always Homer! It would be interesting if you could add also short clips from your hotel and maybe some other clips from your destinations! :)

  • @homer3152
    @homer3152  12 лет назад +1

    @hmasurg The ICE train is the standard long distance train in Germany. On some routes like CGN-FRA or Stuttgart-FRA you can book it under a LH flight number. On these "flights" the first compartment is reserved fpr LH passengers - you need a LH ticket for this. On other trains it is open to F class passengers.Yes..you are also right about the dressing. Best wishes for 2012!

    Great Trip Report Homer... it is obvious you know your business class standards. It is certain that little things make a big difference such as cabin tidiness, this really shows that service does relate to unsanitary areas on board. Hope they can better themselves and comprehend that small things in detail do matter and people do certainly notice things that goes on board. Keep the video's coming. Will post a Trip Report next year of Qantas Club Lounge and Qantas Business class here in Sydney.

    thank you very much for sharing this awesome report with us homer! really enjoyed it! About the service: I think you're spoilt with emirates service haha ;) I love the engine views and enjoyed the HD, may I ask what camera do you use? The service desert reminded me of my ZRH-DXB experience on emirates when FA's completely vanished after meal service ;) Merry Xmas to you and may there come more great reports from you! All the best for 2012!

    Hi Homer, great job on posting these wonderful videos. Sorry to see that the United service wasn't up to par. I enjoy flying as well. I used to fly for free on the jets my employer owned. But ever since 9-11, that program was not offered anymore. I still fly, but not as much. I wish I can find a job like yours. Keep posting these wonderful videos.

  • @sfflyer123
    @sfflyer123 12 лет назад +1

    Homer, one question I had was about the descent into Frankfurt's main terminal area. I thought the trains connected downstairs, and you ascended into the check-in terminal. Is this a different area, the upstairs? Also, how do you get into this LH cabin of the ICE train? Is if if you're flying business class or is there another way to get into this LH cabin. I would like to try this out one day. Thank you for a wonderful trip report! Glad to see that you are back in action!

  • @737823
    @737823 12 лет назад +1

    This assessment is consistent with my experiences on US-based carriers. They're no Cathay Pacific or Singapore Airlines. Indifferent crews, inadequate menus and awful wine selections. I'd say CO is the one exception, so try BusinessFirst when you get around to it. Thanks for sharing!

  • @adamw1944
    @adamw1944 12 лет назад +1

    Homer,
    Even your "cab ride" on ICE3 is excellent, it is not easy to take video behind the glass partition and obtain such an excellent view.

  • @O2BSoLucky
    @O2BSoLucky 12 лет назад +1

    So much for so little. (The BC UA flight that is) The homer vids are priceless.
    And Wow the Frankfurt terminal is amazing!

  • @homer3152
    @homer3152  12 лет назад +1

    @GalaxyofStarrs You should not have any problem. Major airlines do offer vegetarian meals, but you need to request them timely before the flight. Emirates, for instance, offers almost 20 different special meals for Hindus, muslims Vegans, Vegetarians etc, which you can request in advance. Many people request such meals when they fly Economy, even when they normally dont eat them.This is because these meals usually are served first and - many people say - are more fresh than the standard meals.

    @014aircanada 10 лет назад +1

    thanks for sharing nice video. I'm planning to fly on United from Washington to Hawaii in their international business class B767-400ER. 10.5hr flight. I look forward to their service and comfort.

  • @RHCP9181
    @RHCP9181 12 лет назад +1

    @amandeuce Thank you very much for your nice comment..always a pleasure to read them. It is a Panasonic SD 600 with a Leica lens:) Well..yes..not all flights on EK are perfect, either, but food and beverages are way better. All the best to you for 2012

    @hmasurg 12 лет назад +1

    Good news having some friendly flight attendants, that was a nice touch by her giving FC wine.. looked gorgeous in the glass! I'm glad you liked the main course, it seemed a bit old and crusty at first. The cheeses looked boring and were only 2 choices.. The Brandi/Congeac was on request?? and in an Economy style bottle?? not impressive as I am sure you would agree.The clearance was poor indeed and non attentive. did you connect the Audio to your camera while filming?

  • @Benhm2rrt
    @Benhm2rrt 11 лет назад +1

    I love you comments regarding the united in the end of your video. I can't afford flying business (that's why I watch your vids :)) but I am glad that I'm not the only one who thinks United's on board services are mediocre.
    Thanks for sharing your video.

  • @homer3152

    @hmasurg 12 лет назад +1

    Welcome back homer.. and Seasons Greetings.. all the best for 2012!! Perhaps this trip was your Christmas gift to yourself lol.
    So what is this ICE train (whats the route?)
    No pre-bording lounge visit? or is the same FF/Senator lounge of LH?
    This was a 767-300ER, nice to see that they have installed some good J class seats.
    The portions were small which is not usual for the famous "big american portions" at resturants!.. looks like too much supermarket quality salad dressing.. am I right?

  • @homer3152
    @homer3152  12 лет назад +1

    @sfflyer123 Thank you so much for your wonderful comments!!! On the way back, btw, I had a very low voice conversation with this Finnish FA in the galley..after 5 min. a guy slid off behind the curtain..ran to the front..and then the purser came and sent me back to my seat..I wondered whom they were flying for..the trade unions, themselves, or..well..wasnt there anything else, lol?

    Homer what wonderful videos you provide! As a former CO employee from the late 70 thru mid 80 when service was excellent to a very sad lack of service. I am now disabled and unable to travel SO I watch your videos to take me on board to see what you experience! God Bless and keep you safe. I am curious how the NEW United fares in service in First Class? Like SFO to LHR compared to my favorite BA?

  • @AHOOSIER
    @AHOOSIER 12 лет назад +1

    Thank you again Homer, your words only reinforce my resolve to avoid United.
    Frankly, I only fly United when it is a matter of necessity here in the U.S. and 1988 was the last time I flew with them Internationally.

  • @homer3152

    It was smart that you got a nice burgundy from first! You are such a charmer! I have never gotten a wine from first when their wine in business class wine was out. The cheese selection was quite poor, wasn't it? It was unbelievable how many glasses they left there without clearing it. I likt eh signature rotating plate of the wrap! Your video was simply, excellent, Homer. Just excellent. I have two questions, which I will ask on my next post. I really enjoyed this video, homer!

  • @emmanuelmalek6243
    @emmanuelmalek6243 9 лет назад +1

    Now i understand why United and other american carriers never make the top ten of Business or First Class Cabin service. A welcome drink in a plastic cup is ok for economy class , it shows a lot about an airline.

  • @luizgustavolima
    @luizgustavolima 12 лет назад +1

    Sorry to watch how United decreased... "Connoisseur Class" was very good,as it was named the Business Class experience in early 90's (last century...lol)! Emirates, Singapore, Qatar,Korean so much better! Keep the good work..always searching to see your "new releases"! ; )

  • @homer3152

    @waqqy1416 12 лет назад +1

    I know I shouldn't be doing this, but it's so hard not to compare it to the amazing Emirates .. I agree with you homer , the service for a business class flight looked abysmal. Emirates FTW always :) - Great videoo again btw.

    @zxzv1 12 лет назад +1

    @Burjjad1 You are spot on !
    Travel by SIA, CX, Korean, Lufthansa, Emirates, Etihad, Qatar Airways, Gulf Air and you notice the difference - way better service compared to North American airlines. I am surprised they served you champagne in plastic disposal glasses in Business class ?!!!
    I remember couple of years back when I travelled Air Canada : YYZ-FFT ordinary service & the moment i boared Gulf Air: FFT - BAH, service was way better than AC, even though I was travelling in economy.

No idea if audio can be connected to cam..i just put the headphones over the micro of the cam, lol. Yes..cheeses were not only boring, but also dry..brrr.

  • @homer3152
    @homer3152  12 лет назад +1

    @hmasurg Always gald to "see" you:) Better procedures? I simply dont know whether the lack of service is individual crew attitudes or a problem of procedures. A collegue flew 3 hours after me and had a constant good service. Also: just compare the style how they fill your glasses on Emirates ans here..worlds of difference..many more small things like that..
