- Greetings everyone and welcome to a new video!
First of all, a Ramadan Kareem to you and yours!
So I find myself in Dhaka and upon seeing that Kuwait Airways was operating the 4 class B777-300ER there I booked myself a ticket. And not only to experience this beautiful jet, but also because I know the First Class operates as Business Class, and Business operates as Economy!
This was an unique opportunity to experience this great seat at a low price!
I have to make clear that it is the Business Class seat with an Economy Class service.
But it continues to be better vs Euro and US carriers on a 5 hour flight!!
Come an join me on this rare airline and experience a top notch service to Kuwait.
I want to give a special thanks to the lovely cabin crew members who made my day on this occasion.
Thank you for being here and enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Dhaka Hazrat Shahjalal International Airport, Dhaka, Bangladesh
To: Kuwait International Airport, Kuwait City, the State of Kuwait
Flight Number: KU 286
Aircraft Type: Boeing B777-300ER

4:35 The ending of the safety video is really lovely! Love how kuwait airways made that safety video❤ Also, Kuwait Airways did their logo like a bird and it’s really cool it’s even on the aircraft! And they used the logo as a light in night times and even when the lights are off. Kuwait Airways Should read this! We want more kuwait airways videos!
It looks like Kuwait Airways looks like an amazing airline to choose from! Great video as well!
Very much so! I now want to try all other aircrafts they fly.
I used to fly with them some 16 years ago when I was living in Paris as they had flights to Rome with the A300 and A340. But they were quite old!
So good improvements so far.

Nice trip report. Kuwait airways flight is remarkable. Off course Kuwait is a rich country, so their Airline shoud also depict the richness in interior & comfort. All together reasonable video.
Yes, there were plenty of signs of opulence around. But the airline is profit making, so whatever they do, it’s correct!
Thanks for watching!
Bro as usual great content love from Pakistan 🇵🇰,never thought Kuwait airways could be great always ignored them on boards here in Pakistan,but will surely give them a try one day,actually the prayer of journey is short but Kuwait airlines has read two separate prayers that’s why,and for the slides one I thing in water rafts and wings are available that’s why maybe and once I heard that FAA has regulation for the time taken in evacuation on land that’s why they use all 10 on land. you are doing a great job 👏
Another great video. I love all the extra information you include along the way. Thank you!
Glad you do, love to share all my multiple thoughts with people like me.
Have a nice weekend Julian!
For the travel prayers, there is a shorter version which is the first line that popped up on the screen. Hope this helps 😊
سبحان الذى سخر لنا هذا و ما كنا لة مقرنين و إنّا الى ربنا لمنقلبون
Thanks a lot Faisal, always great to know these things!
How many days you were in Dhaka, hope you have enjoyed your stay. Sorry about the airport, we Bangladeshis don't like it either.
Lol I agree! Very troublesome, and hectic airport!
I was in Dhaka for 24 hours, just quickly for work.
But that was enough time to enjoy the best Biryani in the world!
And don’t worry, the airport is part of the charm of traveling there. It would be boring if all airports were the same!😜
@@TheLayoverAviation What is your job if I may ask? I might have to get the same job if I can fly planes this much😂
gotta love the Kuwait livery! all that blue.. remains my some Israeli airliner ..:P
that GE90 noise..music to my ears!
Keep the good content buddy! :D
Similar color yet so many differences! I don’t think we’ll see this blue one in TLV anytime soon, but hey, you never know like with the UAE and Bahrain!
@@TheLayoverAviation no thanks. We have democracy. So our rulers cannot impose normalising with terrorists on us like the cocaine addict Emirati dictators can.
To answer your question about the land vs water evacuation slides;
On the 777-300, the doors directly by the wings (3L/3R), don't have the same slide packing as the other 4 sets of doors.
These doors are just slides and not slide rafts like the other doors.
These are only supposed to be used in case the aircraft were to be sinking rapidly in a ditching 😅
Att.
A FA for a major US airline 😊
Love your videos! Thanks for such comprehensive reviews with a touch of humor!
hello there!
You’re headed to the right direction with the answer, but it’s not fully it..
So yes, it does not have door integrated slide rafts but an aircraft integrated slide behind the wing. And what would happen if a panel opens up from the fuselage under the water?
I’ll leave it there for now :)
also, I think most airlines have as procedure to disarm LR3 doors prior to ditching..
Have been waiting for an upload and here it is!
Here it is indeed! And the next one is following shortly after!
@@TheLayoverAviation Excited!
Wonderful video mate!
Thanks like always Jelmer!
Your tripreports are very informative. I have learned a lot regarding airplanes from the same👍🏻.
I’m glad you did Sam, I hope you keep enjoying!
Another great video! Congrats!
Thanks a lot my friend!
Super journey bro!..2 class travel...way to go.....thnks again for a nice trip.....
I was lucky here!
Thanks for watching, like always!
Another Splendid video Alex. Really enjoyed it😄😄
Glad to hear Hansin, thanks!!!
Love your sense of humour😊 your trip report is awesome.
I’m glad you liked it Syeda! Thanks for writing me 😊
The long prayer is the complete one which is played on SAUDIA and KUWAIT AIR, the rest play a shorter version which is easier to remember.
True, Saudia and Kuwait had the longest versions, I remember that.
QR the shortest. Thanks for the info!
Great video. I finally got to try business on qatars 380 2 days ago. Fantastic. Like the herringbone seats like they have on 787-8.
Fantastic food. Best i ever had on a flight. And enjoyed single malt in the bar. Fantastic produkt. Love the silent 380. 🙏
Glad to hear that!
I flew the A380 in First some weeks ago and hated it so much that I wished I had just staid in Business.
It’s the SAME PRODUCT! Same meals even. Just the wine change.
I’ll publish you some nice QR A380 video soon 😁
Until then have a nice weekend!
@@TheLayoverAviation ok nice looking forward to that video. Yes first in qatars 380 is not that special. Little bit more space i guess but not much different. 🙏👍
Amazing content as usual, thanks for wishing us all Ramadan Kareem! Judging by what I've seen in this video, my next flight will probably be on this airline 😀😀
Thanks a lot Rafay!
Wait for the next video, it’s the Ramadan special and I had an even better time on board!
Beautiful video ❤
Approach scenes are really great 👍
Very much so! I was lucky to have chosen the correct side!
Nice trip report! KU certainly is an underrated airline among the ME carriers.Good to see that you enjoyed the meal which was prepared by Biman's flight catering service probably.
Thanks Hasan!
So yes, I really thought the meal was prepared in Dhaka as it just had that authentic touch to it, but most of the tray items were in Arabic.. So I was a bit confused! I wouldn’t know where it was catered. I should have asked!
Took KU on a trip to BKK some years ago and their economy product on the 77W was very good. KWI at the time was a big disappointment though with dirty and broken toilets and very little seating space
Was it the same terminal? It’s my first time visiting that one. It’s quite small, yes, but temporary I I’ll have to understand..
Glad the flight was good though!
@@TheLayoverAviation I think they built a new terminal building since then
the b777-300er have 10 slides in total 8 slides fitted in main doors are using not only for scape slides but use as raft as well. the 2 slides are fitted in door 3 in over wing or off wing slides using only for slides for evacuation. im your silent subscriber.
Well done! I see you know 🙃
Nice to meet Kuwait airways
Nice Economy/Business class! Wish I could grab one like that here! Their FC suite kind of looks a bit like Etihad's FC in their 787. The airport looked super crowded and those line ughh :( Thanks for sharing I'd probably never get to see this gem otherwise so ty :)
Well observed about the FC, it might actually be the same seat manufacturer.
Whatever I showed from Dhaka airport is not enough at all, but I couldn’t really film as it’s just loud and with someone always next to you.
Ah yes, and forget the toilets. The dirtiest ones I’ve seen with many insects.
And more! But that’s what makes it kind of fun too😅
Thanks for writing, glad seeing you around!
Probably someone already answered the 777-300ER trivia, but hey, here goes.
There are two types of doors on a 777. Type A and Type 1. Type A come fitted with slide-rafts, which are suitable for both land and ditching emergency evacuation. These doors are 1, 2, 4 and 5 (L/R). However doors 3L/R are type 1 doors, meaning they are only fitted with a slide, which makes them secondary exits in case of a ditching evacuation. Also unlike on other aircraft types, they are right over the wings on a 777, which would make them impractical in such an evacuation. The only time they would be deployed is if the aircraft is sinking rapidly or if at least half of the slide-rafts on other doors fail to deploy or are damaged.
Thanks for visiting My home country Bangladesh 🇧🇩 Dhaka
Best biryani! Love going there!
Amazing details man! You are unique talented!
Thanks a lot Asif, nice of you to say!
I photographed 9K-AOD while I was planespotting at JFK last year from the TWA Hotel observation deck. I've considered taking KU back to the states because they were cheaper than EY or EK, but that 2-2-2 biz class seating is not ideal for long trans-atl.
They are indeed the most affordable choice.
I don’t actually mind that 2-2-2. Ok, there are more comfortable options but the price is much less here. And I loved the crews. On the longer flights I like to walk around and chat, that makes time go faster for me, so I rather have this then fully closable suites with robots serving me!😂
Wonderful job. 🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩🇧🇩
😂The best reason to smile The Best of course❤😂.The Best Trip Report ever..
Better ones coming Donna!
Your beautiful mind to good to be true for me.Have a great wkend n wk. Hey Layover Aviation my son n his family is in your hometown on holidays..How true Dubai never sleeps LOL
How do you identify the airport from which an airplane comes and goes? Nice video by the way.
There are plenty of live plane tracking apps out there😃
@@TheLayoverAviation Thanks for the reply! Which live plane tracking app do you use? The live plane tracking apps I know only show planes in take-off, landing and taxiing, but I want to know how to identify parked planes.
Un expectedly i really liked kuwait airways more than qatar on my journey from hyderabad to istanbul and vice versa❤
That shows that it’s not all bling bling and 5* propaganda that matters.
I loved Kuwait Airways too and had many better experiences with them vs QR!
@@TheLayoverAviationagreed
Love you Habibi from Lebanon 🇱🇧 ❤😊
Thanks habibi, greetings back from Dubai! Ramadan Mubarak.
I personally have flown Kuwait Airways and I think it's very good indeed.Great crew.
fair comment about the jet bridge
Beautiful takeoff video bro
Thanks! The B777 did it all for me!😉
Dhaka Airport is crazy 😵✌🏻 been there the other week but missed Bangali people! We had the same gate!!
It’s charming in it’s own way. I like to complain but it would be sad if all airports were the same😄
Wow the flight is very amazing with Kuwait Airways 🇰🇼 ❤❤🥰🥰😊😊❤❤❤
Another great video as usual. As you are an av-geek, I suggest you to visit Leh once. It is a very beautiful place. Also you can climb to some of the monasteries in the cities on the hilltops. From there you can see fantastic views of planes landing and taking out of the runway below. Also, while going to Leh or returning from there, tou can take the Leh-Srinagar flight which as absolutely stunning views.
Thanks
Excellent video my friend ✨ waiting for new video
Thanks a lot! The next video is on the way :)
Nice video! Please, don't erase it never, never.
I wont!
And please, don't erase any of your videos never, never.
Great trip report as always. Although a bit jealous since I had to pay business class fare to grab one of those comfy seat on a flight to Dhaka four years back 😀.
Well, sometimes it happens..!
Thanks for watching!
4:20 In case of a water emergency, only 8 emergency slides can be used as an emergency raft.
Very nice trip report ❤
18:20 stunning❤😃
When I went to London in 2022 my plane was also Jabriya I’m from Kuwait
Nice plane, isn’t it?!
@@TheLayoverAviation yeah
There seems to be a passenger demand on Dhaka India routes....i see 4 flights heading to India
Yes, and I’m sure the demand is higher then the offer!
You missed a sukhoi fighter jet just before it turned on the main runway for takeoff at Dhaka😮😊
There were actually quite a few in formation and also
some MiG’s. But I didn’t manage to film them well.
Super loud!
Hello mate! Long time no see! How are you?😊
Woah! Kuwait's Business class! I want to try Kuwait's A330-800 one day! I never met prayer at my EK's and QR's flights..i must been deaf😅 The GE90,best startup sound ever!
Woah! What a fantastic gifts from the crew! Sometimes the crew spoil you a lot😂
Amazing video! Enjoyed my stay again! See ya!😊
Hello matey!
I hope to try their A330-800 too, such a rare but sexy plane..
There is no prayer at EK unless you want to play it from the IFE.
At QR it plays just before the safety video. It’s a black screen with the prayer on it in white. I’ll show it in 2 video’s from now!
The crew spoil me because I spoil them😝
Take care!
There's both a short and long version of the travel prayer
See, I thought so. Makes more sense now. Thanks!
Awesome video! I’m having nostalgia of Dhaka’s Airport! 😅
Well, that new terminal is urgently required. But of course, there is always a special relationship to a home airport ❤️
Hope you get to visit soon!
@@TheLayoverAviation Yes, I agree. I’m a US passport holder, and once the workers see your an American they take advantage of you. I experienced this first-hand with my family and they delayed our check-in and made up a false policy that Emirates made about only one carry on is allowed - with no laptop bags being allowed. It was a true nightmare in Dhaka airport.
As the 777 has such huge wing span, it can be use as a slide while it's in water.
Not really! What if the aircraft sinks?
There is a different reason to it.
It’s something interesting to know!
Another great, detailed video. As well as a new route and airline in the channel. Do you have plans to fly Nepal Airlines or fly into KTM via other airlines?
Yes, I do have plans to fly with them, just very little time. But it will come for sure!
Welcome to 🇰🇼❤️
Always great to visit Kuwait!
This was very nostalgic for me as growing up in Kwt this was my home airline. Love the new livery and the product. They have always had great food and glad to see their service has improved. The two cities you mentioned Salmiyah I used to live here and Kuwait City where I was born and grew up. Makes me want to visit. Did you get to eat shwarama, it’s my favorite.
hey! i love ur videos, was wondering if you can cover low cost airlines as well, like air arabia, air asia, easy jet, etc, it would be more interesting to hear good and bad things about it :)
Nice! Love seeing more Arabic Airlines. They’re always a W
They’re the best! But I have to try it all😝
Nice video man... what watch were you wearing? Cheers

Can you do united Lufthansa air india like your good when you do videos to Delhi or Houston
Dubai to Delhi on Air India is filmed, still need to edit it.
Was so eagerly waiting for this video.....Wanted to see a Trip Report based on Kuwait Airways' widebody aircraft.
If possible in the future, try their A330-800 neo.....It's a gorgeous aircraft, on the exterior😍
Yes the A330-800 is a must try for me, I really hope to do it soon. But I’m completely fully booked until July 😅
But I’ll do my best!!
@@TheLayoverAviationLet's go!
Hi. Is in the behind a prayer room?
Thank you so much:)
I didn’t find any.. I think only Saudia has those. But passengers pray by the door area’s on these planes.
Have a nice one!
Hope you have a nice weekend 😊
You too Annika!!
I LOVE TOSEE THIS
Heyy! Can you plss do a Flight report on Kenya Airways on an International Flight ?😅❤
I’ve filmed it, just not published it.
I’ve got a video in Business Class from Dubai to Nairobi on the B787. I hope to publish it soon!
God that awakening of engine, so soothing to the ears🤭.
I wish I could have left the entire thing. If you wear some good headphones it’s like heaven!😍
@@TheLayoverAviation heard using headphones 🎧🎶.
Woh pensé que el servicio en business se daba en platos de vidrio como lo hacen casi todas las aerolíneas 😱 un saludo amigo 👋🏽
Este es el servicio de economy! Primera Clase hacia de Business y business operaba como economy en este vuelo. Tuve suerte!
Sir could you please upload your Bangkot to Dubai Emirates video again. It is missing in the list
I flew that a few times but did not publish it as the light outside wasn’t good.
This month I’ll fly Singapore-Bangkok, Doha-Bangkok and Bangkok-Hong Kong. They should be published anytime in May I think.
Hey, could you please make a video about even airline going to Dhaka airport? I am planning a trip and would love to see what the airport looks like and what the experience is like with this airline and I would love to see a video about flying to Dhaka airport with even airline. Can you make a video showing the check-in process, security, and boarding, as well as any tips or recommendations for travellers? Thanks in advance!🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂🙂
Hey Nice video! So how did you get into business class seat? Did you pick Economy premium?
Nope, it was just part of the Economy Class, even on the online seat map if I remember correctly..
what do you think about BRUSSELS AIR???????
I’ll try the A330 at some point, but the smaller ones no thanks!
After living 12 years in the Middle East I just can’t go back to flying short haul in Europe on the A320’s, heck, short haul in Africa is much better!
I hope to publish some Brussels Airlines soon.
Супер
Awesome video! And yes the interior Kuwait Airways has installed on the Boeing 777-300ER is absolutely stunning and looks really cool at night time. Gives me some Qatar airways vibes somehow.
I think this aircraft interior is far nicer vs QR! It’s actually one of the best looking ones I’ve seen.
QR video coming up soon!
Can you please post a video from Dubai to Casablanca
I should, yes! It’s been some years I didn’t visit Casa.
faaaaaaannnntastic video!!!! i really love your videos! and yes I agree with u 100% --- KU has been really busy in working to gain back its past glory during the 80s. The changes that u have mentioned and as seen here, are a solid testament to their hard work. I enjoyed my KU flight a couple of years ago and I really see a bright future for them. It would b awesome to have KU back in the game and lead side by side with QR.
LOVE the music!! Where is it from??
I use artlist and RUclips Studio for the music.
@@TheLayoverAviation very cool!
Literally sunk into my soul when you said that this airport in Dhaka is your least favorite man
It will be much better when the new terminal opens.. It’s very crowded an old for now..
@@TheLayoverAviation yeah,I saw they were making it huge,I know it's gonna blow my mind,I hope you visit it when it's built
Superb video again. Regarding the food: 1. why couldn't you smell the food? 2. I don't believe for one second that you would run 10km after the flight, lol
I could smell it, just wish you could! And yes, I do run 10km a day! I would otherwise be very overweight as I love food😅
@@TheLayoverAviation Wow, good on you! 😄
any flights you plan on flyin to JFK?
Oh I fly to JFK almost every 2-3 months, just not on Kuwait Airways. I hope to do so soon!
Why did you had a economy meal in business class? Nice video👍
Because the Business Class was operating as Economy! And First like Business.
Fly to Houston at least once take any airlines Lufthansa Emirates Turkish airlines
I’ve got a flight on United filmed from Houston. On the B757-300. It should come soon ;)
Gracias.
A ti!
no mutton for me. But champagne and digestiv
so many atrs
I didn’t pay attention, but yeah!
🇰🇼⚘
Are you a captain or an engineer?
Did you pay extra for the seats?
No!
Iam Dhaka
Best Biryani!
The meal kinda looked sad. No touch of Business Class
It was Economy Class like I explained. Business Class operated as Economy Class and First as Business Class. Economy was overbooked.

Is there a Kuwait A380
Or a Kuwait 787
No, but there is the A330-800!
@@TheLayoverAviation Doesn't Count
Business class seat, economy class meal??? 🙄
Like it’s mentioned, it’s Business Class operating as Economy Class.
10: 35
Economy class meal in Business class. Strange!
I mentioned that it was Business Class operating as Economy, and First as Business.
Airplanes fly to Kuwait Dhaka Bangladesh 5:31 🏳️🌈🇧🇩🇰🇼
yes 😊
Dhaka airport is way busier then Karachi airport... 😂😂😂
Is it? No idea!
It’s my native country and it’s embarassing. I can’t wait to see the new terminal and see how long before people ruin it by not cleaning it properly. Embarassed.
It’s ok, it can happen. I look forward to see the new terminal!
