Nice comprehensive review. Looks like a good airline. Getting 2 meals on a 7 & a half hour flight in Economy Class is a great deal nowadays. Your food looked decent. The price was reasonable and it is always good to hear that the flight attendants were professional and courteous, something that you can't always expect these days. 😊
Thanks for the comment! I was really surprised at how nice it was to fly with Miat. The food was definitely better than what they serve in Economy on US carriers.
I have given up expecting any food on American carriers domestically. I actually pack a "picnic lunch" with enough for my seat mate if they want something to eat. If they don't want it, it's no big deal. I just feel a little uncomfortable "pigging out" when the passenger next to me has no food. 🤣
I've flown with MIAT several times - probably something to do with having a Mongolian wife for the last 26 years! In general, I would say that they're good value for money - whether in economy or business class.. We haven't flown in the 787 yet, but my wife and daughter will be trying it out in August. Your review was very reassuring for them. Good to hear that you enjoyed Mongolia - despite UB's traffic and the pollution.
Wow, definitely rare and unusual! Glad you filmed it! Also that beef option gave me an idea for my next lunch/dinner while working from home. Seems wood cutlery is standard now for a lot of carriers. - Red
Great video, I love reviews of unusual airlines and unusual routes! I would be very surprised there is enough demand for US flights, though. And I agree about Frankfurt Terminal 2, it's not good. So few services and amenities, and there is security at each gate so once you are inside security you are stuck with nothing to do.
Way to go and to go back to EWR from Ulaanbaatar you could have done MIAT Ulaanbaatar Incheon and then Air Premia ICN-EWR alternatively KE/OZ Ulaanbaatar-ICN-JFK
hi! I am frommongolia and my father is a pilot of that plane and on March 3rd this plane is flying to soul and my father was 1 of the pilots to bring the plane to mongolia and I was there

@@jvstcu76 haha you’re a better person than most! Hopefully I get a seat next to you next time I fly to California 😂
What an awesome review! Always wondered what the new MIAT 787 was like, thanks for covering it!
Thanks for watching!

I hope your wife and daughter enjoy their trip aboard the 787
I love the 787-9 it’s an amazing plane
It’s definitely great to fly on!

Thanks Red! I was definitely impressed with the food on this flight. Definitely better than what you get with US airlines.
Excellent video as ever & you certainly get around! I had previously heard good things about MIAT & you have confirmed that.
Thanks for watching! Hopefully Miat gets more positive recognition.

Thanks for watching! Yeah, I’d be surprised if they were able to sustain flights to the US and the lack of amenities in terminal 2 was no fun
Fabulous review
Thanks 🙏
The flight looks really good for economy! Was there WIFI on board?
Very interesting! How was Mongolia?
We really enjoyed Mongolia 🇲🇳
At 6.15 was it veal? enjoyed this video
Thanks! Not exactly sure what the meat was
Way to go and to go back to EWR from Ulaanbaatar you could have done MIAT Ulaanbaatar Incheon and then Air Premia ICN-EWR alternatively KE/OZ Ulaanbaatar-ICN-JFK
Yeah, but Air Premia was really expensive when we were traveling.
Is your flight to Ulaanbaatar 60 to 75% full, why you don't sleep on the plane and is that your 1st time flying Mongolia airlines and how is it?
hi! I am frommongolia and my father is a pilot of that plane and on March 3rd this plane is flying to soul and my father was 1 of the pilots to bring the plane to mongolia and I was there
plus he is certified to fly on the b767 and the cargo b757 and I can freely enter the cockpit when my dad's around
That’s awesome 👏
actually all the crashes are caused by fog and low visibility .
