Your welcome! We love you dan!
Congratulations Dan.All the best for the journey ahead.Lots of love and good wishes from India.
hopefully you will get to more than a million one day
great video, thanks for sharing Dan!
Flown first time with Turkish last spring, it was experience like going to someone’s wedding. Best delicious food, lots of happy people and excellent service. Will be flying again.
As a Turkish I feel proud. Glad you enjoyed it

Greek airways and armenian airways are better
@@mynameisazz there is no airways called greek airways..? salty arent you
@@mynameisazz this contradicts the title of the vide so much lmaoo
Have flown on turkish airlines regularly for over 8 years. Best airline I ever have been on. Would recommend to many.
I never knew Turkish was considered a "Middle Eastern" airline (I always thought it was more European). No wonder I was surprised by their quality of service! I've never had an economy seat with more pitch or food that good on any other flight! Most memorably, they gave everyone (and yes I mean everyone) a piece of Turkish delight when we boarded and again when we deplaned.
@@barsonald9539 It's not European either
@@DixieFaukner you’re wrong
@@barsonald9539 He's right. Turkey is barely an european country. It's way more asian
Well one thing we can agree on about Turkish Airlines, there is no more Turkish delight served.
Turkey and Russia are both Eurasian countries.

This series like a blend of Vox and Wendover Productions. Maybe even like Johnny Harris. How about a Johnny Harris and Nonstop Dan collab?
Definitely a Wendover style vibe, which is a compliment in my opinion. This video was well done!
Yep
Yup
Yes
Wait... this isn't Wendover? Legit thought it was in the beginning
There are two another aspects why these airliners are attractive: the first one is that you can actually have long layovers (if you wanted) which means you have the ability to leave the airport and see something of the city. Cities like Dubai and Abu-Dhabi are added destinations in their own right in your itinerary. You can leave in Europe in the late evening, sleep on your way to there, arrive in the morning, spend the day there, and continue in the evening to your destination in Asia (like Bangkok f.e.).
The other thing is that especially from the European perspective, two flights of 6 hours might actually be more attractive than a non-stop flight. Simply because it enables you to leave the airplane, walk around a bit, sit down somewhere for coffee or whatever, and continue.
I'm going to Lagos, Nigeria in May with Turkish Airlines and my layover is in Istanbul for 20 hours. It was actually cheaper to have the longer layover. Also, I get a whole day to see Istanbul.
Stop fucking saying "Asia" only for east Asia when middle Eastern countries shown here are also in Asia.
@@samadpathiyil3493
Middle East/West Asia is related to north Africa, the northern Mediterranean countries and the African horn more than it's related to South, East, Central, Southeast or Northern Asia.
Most of the times when you search for studies or for tourism and put "middle east" you will get studies about all Arab countries, and Tunis or Marrakech as tourism destinations alongside Dubai, Beirut, Amman and Istanbul.
West Asia, North Africa + Turkey, Iran, Cyprus and sometimes Armenia, Georgia and Azerbaijan.
Besides that both Egypt and Sudan aren't in Asia while are part of the region called Middle East.
Middle East as a geographical identity is transcontinental, voth Asia and Africa, also Cyprus which is Levantine Asian territory is a member of the EU, and as a political identity it refer to the Arab countries + Turkey, Iran and Cyprus as nearby countries that aren't Arab.
Sometimes they differ by calling the region "greater middle east" or "MENA" and those names only refer to the Arab countries without Turkey, Iran and Cyprus as part of it.
Middle East isn't Asia, and the inhabitants of the Arab world are not related to any other Asian nation/ethnicity, while spread on a landscape from Zagrous mountains to the Atlantic ocean and from Suqatra island to southern Anatolia, you can't call Arabs as Asians, and you can't call them Africans, therefore you can't call the middle east Asian, especially when 1.5/4 of its population are in the African part of it, qnd we are not discussing the origin of Arabs, and they had a big population in modern day Egypt in the countrysides and the Eastern coasts since at least 300BCE, and Arabs of North Africa live there since ten centuries so you can't call thrm Asians because their ancestors moved from Asia ro Africa long ago.
The Middle East is a transcontinental identity and Arabs are their own regional population, sometimes called the Arab subcontinent, and all of them are members of the 1946 founded Arab league, despite that some majority none Arab countries are members of it such as Somalia, Comoros and Djibouti, as they are not part of this "Arab subcontinent" anyway.
I honestly don't want to divide my 10 hour HEL-BKK trip that I can spend sleeping between meal times into an 6+4+6 hour trip. And I hate this sentiment a bit, because I'd love to have a different airline experience.
Unless your flight is red-eye, then you'll be forced to deplane in the middle of the night & your sleep, like 3a.m. to stopover in 1 of the ME3 hubs. When I went to the UK from Singapore my parents didn't want to stopover, so we flew SIA, but since that's more expensive we looked for their promotional fares, which a bit ironically is for the morning flight only, as that's a flight you'll more likely to want to have a stopover in-between
I know it's far from the Middle East, but I think this is also why Singapore Airport has also become the best airport in the world. Them and Singapore Airlines are also competing with passengers looking for cheaper flights with layovers (or those that have to take one anyway, like those going from Australia to Europe). If you know you have to have a layover somewhere for a few hours, why not pick an airport with a butterfly garden, swimming pool, movie theater, and the Jewel (though that's technically landside)? Obviously, they still have a large number of O&D passengers (maybe more than Dubai, Doha, and others), but I'm sure that has also played a big role in their development.
As a person from SG and that studied aviation, if you want to know the answer, its because of their business model, most airports in the US are the traditional kind where airport's profit is from airlines, Changi airport makes it really cheap for airlines to fly there, usually just barely covering the cost of what it takes to operate an airport, where they get their money is from the shops inside the airport, thus they have to make the airport appealing to travellers so they will spend their money there, combined with the relatively central location in South East Asia, it makes Singapore extremely competitive
Dubai is a hole. Would never fly via Dubai again if have a choice
@@magillanz why
It's a huge contrast in passenger experience if you arrive in Singapore via air (usually by Changi Airport) vs via coach, with many coaches heading to Golden Mile Tower/Complex shopping centre (as many coach companies have their offices there), 2 rather decrepit buildings with choked toilets & yellowed i.e. heavily oxidixed false ceilings (which collapsed over the taxi stand a few days ago).They're also relatively more sleazy with a significant number of nightclubs there, some of which were raided several weeks ago for violating CoViD-19 laws (which ban nightclub & bars from operating unless they're doing restaurant business instead). A possible reason for such disrepair is that the buildings' ownership are split across multiple landlords (so as to be able to attract more investment. These are legally known as "strata titled" properties), whose individual interests are less likely to align with that of the entire property (unlike for buildings owned by a single landlord) e.g. landlords are more willing to rent out to more sleazy businesses e.g. nightclubs, massage parlours, and are less willing to fork out more funds for large-scale property renovations
@@magillanz why？
I’ve flown with Turkish a lot and have always been looked after very well ,like any business you should never loose site of the customer experience
Why Middle Eastern Arilnes are so good? My 10 year old advises: 1. Only Qatar, Gulf, Emirates and Ethiad airlines are good. 2. The oil and gas revenues provides financing ; 3.Government owned; 4. Expensive hiring European and American PR and Advertising providing publicity, visuals and narrative; 5. Profiting Western advertising, management and customers.ALL
@@MK-nj5up thanks fir the spam
@@MK-nj5up Turkish Airline in my opinion is better than Emirates. Yes the advertised cabins and planes of Emirates are great but I find you get alot of older planes with outdated interiors and not very good meals which obviously aren't advertised.
I find Turkish Airlines very consistent, every time i've flown with them in the last 7 years always I find good cabins (All have ICU's) and in my opinion the best plane food in the skies. Also service always very good.
Not saying Emirates is bad but they're not as consistent as Turkish but their peak experience is probably better. I much prefer consistently good over sometimes great.
@@MK-nj5up If your service can't bring in customers and you find yourself spending more in advertising than the profit you're turning. You have a problem....
I fly Turkish airlines all the time and they have the perfect balance of price/quality.
I love flying turkish all mid east airlines have great cabins but Turkish concentrates on one really important airline issue: food. Food is remembered,makes you feel more satisfied when you eat good during your experience. Plus they sell you in flying to turkey in the future no matter why your flying turkish at the time they know they handle a lot of connecting passengers from a lot of coach share flights with passe hers never considering turkish till their chosen airline puts them in a Turkish airlines plane the airline makes money and adds another destination without actually flying there but Turkish gets more they get a piece of the cash they get to sell you on visiting turkey they get to sell you on their cabin products basically you get to try their cabin products without buying the Turkish airlines ticket and they want to take that opportunity to show you how good it is to fly on Turkish I'll get the food how good the entertainment how good the service so that next time you're looking to fly that same router a different one you might just go through Turkish airlines

Turkish Airlines was the best for me. I flew from London Heathrow to Cape Town via Istanbul using Turkish Airlines but our overnight flight from Istanbul to Cape Town via Durban was unfortunately cancelled. However, Turkish Airlines provided me with a free overnight stay at a holiday Inn Airport Hotel and changed our flight to the next day. They ate by far the best airline I have ever flown with, followed closely be Emirates.
You can see that you don't travel economy a lot... Emirates has the best entertainment system for economy and That's why they do attract economy travellers too
I can definitely say the same for Turkish Airlines
Exactly
And Qatar Airways
Emirates economy is really really good. If you want to save money and your demands are basic, Emirates economy is honestly all what you need.
My mother used to live in Dubai. As such, I’ve flown emirates a few times, to visit her. The thing that surprised me wasn’t how good it was to fly emirates, but how normal it was. There’s no doubt that business and first class in an emirates plane are amazing, but I only ever flew economy. And I gotta say, it seemed to me a pretty normal and average experience. Sure, it’s comfortable, but it’s also a long distance flight, and it offers about the same amount of comfort as any other airline that flies long distance.
Fly business on the A380 its great and it starts at you front door with a limo to the airport.
ill say it the base quality of middle eastern airlines economy like the seats the ife and food is only a tad bit better then US airlines. Could be that ive only flown on US carriers twice but both were long haul same with my experience with middle eastern airlines
I took Qatar airways and flew from Doha to Johannesburg
I'm still in awe 🙌🏾
This is so true! I was booking my flight from the UK to Japan, and originally I wanted to do a direct flight to Japan. But then I realised that Qatar were the number 1 airline, with supposedly the best leg space in economy, decent food, their stopover in Doha would shave off nearly 60% from a direct flight, and it's basically a free chance to experience a glimpse of another fascinating country, eat some real food, stretch legs, maybe even have a shower if that's possible before getting on the night flight. Not just that, the timing is just so well thought out, with the option to leave in the UK afternoon, arrive in DOHA and board the second flight near midnight, sleep, then wake up with minimal jet-lag around Japan afternoon time, and arrive in Japan near the evening time.
60 % off from a direct flight, people tend to forget these are state sponsored airlines. Also Airlines like Turkish and Qatar have access to cheaper fuel than most. Their network also goes into countries in middle asia and africa most airlines won't touch, Which brings them a high profit margin on those routes.
@@joachimverbruggen6062 most european flagship carriers like air france, KLM, TAP Portugal, ITA airways, etc. are at least partially-owned by government on top of public incentives and loans
@@fumie4996 but their country have no fuel.
I mean you also glossed over the fact that Emirates wants layovers in Dubai as well, more tourism income.
and Dubai is a HOLE
@,Ian Ireland
You say Dubai is a Hole.
Sorry to hear you had an awful time there.
I wouldn't call it a hole myself however.
In all the times there I have had a wonderful time.
Very much looking forward to more fun filled time in Dubai & Abu Dhabi.
Let's hope travel can resume safely for everyone.

Your branding the UAE as woman hating, which I think is harsh & untrue.

However it doesn't mean that all men agree with those laws.
There are men that have been raised properly & decently.... & treat women with respect.

Hey Dan, really insightful snapshot into the Middle-Eastern carriers and why they do what they do and thanks to you, it sort of makes sense now. Anyhow, really enjoyed it and looking forward to next weeks update.
I love watching your videos. They are so informative and I appreciate the time it's taken you to research everything before making your videos
Not wrong. Flew on Turkish Airlines from Geneva to Bahrain, VIA Istanbul, and all you said there, I agreed with. Honestly, business class felt like being a president. The year before, I did the same route using Etihad, VIA Abu Dhabi. Felt so great, I doubt I'll ever fly economy again when given the choice.
Firstly, congratulations on 400k ! What an amazing informative video Dan. Just a little suggestion, you could add chapters in your videos like at those places where you say something and the screen goes dark, and there's music playing behind
Again, Dan, thanks a lot for another of your well-researched and well-sourced inputs! Indeed all I can say about Emirates, which i had flown during the 90s in both Economy and Business Classes is that they really go out of their way to make your flight always extraordinary. From the caring and attentive nature of the multilingual and multicultural cabin crew to its PTVs (which EK pioneered in all Y-class seats in '92) and its terrific and diverse food selections in both classes, Emirates truly delivers service that is STERLING, or truly Five-Star! Plus, the flights I took always departed and arrived on time :-)
Outstanding. Insightful view into drivers of global aviation strategy and finance and, ultimately, a great pitch for the ME 3 + 1.
This was a very interesting take on the industry. I enjoyed it a lot man. And it makes a lot of sense too. I have never been on any of the Middle Eastern airlines, mainly because my travels are mostly domestic and an annual transatlantic hop, but I am hoping one day I can enjoy that treat.
Keep up the good work buddy!
Thanks so much! Hope you get to fly with one of them soon :)
Congrats on 400k subs! Yes I feel the same way about these Middle Eastern Airways!❤️
Wow this was a phenomenal breakdown and presentation. As a domestically well traveled American, in addition to gaining so much foreign airline operational knowledge, I also just got one hell of a geography lesson. Sir you have a new fan. Thanks
Just a question out of interest. If something mayor happens in another country and it's on the news, don't they show that country/city on a map? I'm from the Netherlands and am prettg used to this. You hear about an earthquake in a city you cannot locate in a country at the other side of the world, they show you where it is. Don't they do that in the US?
@@jinde75 They don't, because dUSA culture thrives on poor education, our "patriotism" glorifies Wilful Ignorance, while our hyper-Capitalism make all the above simply worse.
Great info 🤙🏾 as an airline employee I learned few this from this video !
Great Job Dan 👍🏾👍🏾
This is a good video Dan. Seriously, nothing I didn't know as a frequent long haul premium flyer but you've explained it very clearly. Nice job.
Your pivot to these informational videos during the pandemic is inspired, Dan. Bravo!
Agreed!
I would like to add, Etihad Airlines also have American/US custom agents in UAE to do your screening and arrival processing before the flight. So you don't have to go through US boarder/custom when you land.
This is a great video Dan.
I hope to be flying again soon. Lots of missed flights this past year.
Always so very interesting; I enjoy these so much as this type of video is educational and thought provoking. Many thanks for making me think today! Cheers
Thanks Patrick! So glad to hear that😃
Great video! I'm a very frequent traveller from Europe living in Asia and couldn't agree more to all that has been said in the video. I used to travel between Asia and Europe at least once a month and used Emirates whenever possible. Back then I had to fly in Economy, but still got to Emirates Gold status. I think @Dan, that this is another advantage of the Middle Eastern carriers: you need less miles to get to a status and they are more generous with time frames etc. then e.g. Star Alliance. I got upgraded to Business Class very frequenzly back then because of my status and was always happy about the break in between the two flights (to sip some champagne in the lounge for free ;-) ). Now I'm usually flying Business Class and for me it is all about the ticket price. If the direct flight is cheaper I definitely take it. I think Business Class is pretty much manageable on all airlines, so prefer to save the buck ;-)
Absolutely love your content Dan! Keep it up! Love from Johannesburg , South Africa
I love your drag race's references! Keep up the great work!
I’ve flown the trio( Qatar, Emirates, Etihad) from the US to a secondary city in India (with the one stop in the hub) and also have flown KLM+a codeshare Indian airline to that same secondary city (this time needing 2stops) and this video pretty much encapsulated the difference in experience, it’s simply more convienient to do 1 stop and go direct to the secondary city rather than 2stops with the European airline. It’s usually cheaper too.
In Africa, Turkish and Emirates use in some destinations direct flights, involving usually two airports. Usually, they put the last destination as the final destination, but in practice fly to it via the first stop. Take the route with Turkish to Libreville, Gabon. The first stop is Kinshasa, DRC, and after the layover, the flight goes to Libreville before turning back to Istanbul. It is quite an efficient way on filling up the seats.
Hey Dan
Keep up the great work...Love your videos

👏🏻 We 👏🏻 love 👏🏻 Dan 👏🏻 and also congrats on 400k
4:07 I had to rewind because I wasn't expecting that and then immediately followed. That reference was the reason you got me. You just combined my two favorite loves, aircrafts, and you know what the reference was from. I love you for adding that 😂😂❤️
First off Dan, let me congratulate you on your 400,000 subs. It’s quite a feat!
This video was very interesting. I can now understand why the Middle Eastern carriers do the special things they do. All that old footage it’s really special, it’s something that I grew up watching! As always, an amazing job!❤️👍✈️
Thanks as always Diane😍😍
Thanks for the video Dan!! Please keep up the content :)
Thank YOU for watching Luis!🙌
Great video and good breakdown and explanations. Thanks for upload.
I’ve flown Qatar air 4 times. During our first flight my son was 8 months old and the crew thought he was so adorable and was loving on him. I wish I took a picture.
The fact which you mentioned about connecting flights being at a discount compared to non stop is very true.
Once while looking up tickets with Lufthansa, I found that a flight from amsterdam to bangalore via frankfurt was cheaper than just a frankfurt to bangalore flight!!! I was so surprised!
Oh and as always a great report Dan👍
You're the man Dan. Love these informative videos along with the trip reports.
Thanks Tyler🙌
Literally Digging the New Intro!
Hey Blueberry Hill here, your videos have inspired me so many times and I have to admit I can’t fly any other airlines except Turkish, Qatar or Emirates. They offer the best service however I would love to try their business class one day 😇🙏🏽
Ever tried Qantus / AirnewZealand ??
Can't wait .... hope to travel and meet you one day . May u reach 500k
Very informative explanation, spot on ✈️🌴☀️Thank you
Thanks for the insight into the geography!, i always thought it was because fuel would be significantly cheaper for these airlines, and fuel cost dictate everything these days.
I never would have thought nonstop dan could make well thought out and researched videos like this. I wonder if wendover has reseached out
Great insightful video!
So right, I find it so difficult to fly any other airline that's not Turkish!
From my experience with Emirates, their service was incredible. As for the plane , they're pretty much the same for me. Now if the US carriers could get their act together and provide a better product.
They don’t have deep pockets and they don’t need to. They are convenient not like Middle East carriers. If I want to fly to London out of Atlanta, I would fly delta of course, I don’t care if they offer food or not as far as I will reach london quickly and directly, who in the right mind will fly to Doha for 14 hours and then transit for 5 hours and fly again another 8 hours to London??? So US carriers offer convenience to their people, therefore convenience has more value than service. This is an opinion, I’m not a travel advisor.
@@TheNewWave-Media I agree. A friend of mine traveled to Madrid and connected in Istanbul. Why? Long haul is exhausting enough so I’ve never understood this. I’m a huge aviation geek but I can’t justify flying over my destination by such a large distance. I’ll take the nonstop any time.
@@JustinLHopkins those airlines in the ME and turkey they drop their prices really low sometimes (because they are funded by deep government pockets so they don’t need to make profits they only need to advertise tourism for their country) and also they offer a lot of food and drinks for free, this sometimes attracts certain cheap/bargain travelers who would chose to have a 24 hours journey instead of an 8 hours one. And let’s not forget that those airlines have zero regulations, no work unions, no shareholders, no stock price, nothing at all, it’s the wild Wild West in the Middle East airlines, that’s why even their crew and employees have really low retention % as most work for 1-2 years then resign due to pressure, that’s why those airlines mostly recruit all year long in crazy bulk numbers and they chose to recruit 21~ y/o with no experience for easy brain washing. They won’t last for long as their only resource of cash is oil, that will run one day and EV’s are taking over, tourism is their last life line when shit gets real... Their GDP is mostly Oil attached, that’s awful for the long term.
I don’t care if the airline has big pockets . I want the best service possible while on board. US carriers are the worst. They call business class first class, hahaha. They have no clue. And Americans are very tolerant of how badly airlines operate, including overbooking or kicking you out of the flight because one crew matter arrives last minute and they need to accommodate him/her they will get anybody out. They also known to get the police to get you out by force. Disgraceful. Just read the news from time to time.
@@TheNewWave-Media I flew from Philadelphia to Doha around 13 hours and then transited for 7 hours at the oryx hotel and it's by far the best flying experience I ever had!
The only point missing is: the current situation. Passengers would pay to fly non stop than connect, especially due to safety reasons. Eg: People would fly Newark to Mimbai over New York to Mumbai via Dubai. If they go non stop, they only need to wait in queue for immigration once. DXB is a mess with no social distancing. This is a way ME carriers are non profitable. Keep up the good work Dan!! I enjoy your aviation analysis videos alot. Live from Bahrain!
You can transit airside in Dubai, Doha, Istanbul or pretty much anywhere else outside the US and Canada. No need to clear the passport control while changing plane
Nonstop Dan, what an entertaining video you made for us who LOVE travel but don't do it as often as YOU!!!! KEEP UP THE SWEET VIDEOS!!!!!!
Superb vdo I ever watched about airlines, enjoying every minute and got to educate myself about those countries and routes too.
I haven't been flying a lot, but I had a really good time flying in Emirates. I will be flying with them again!

This was interesting. I always just assumed it was cultural; that Middle Eastern hospitality was just better.
It is culture, but that wouldn't really be an answer if he just said that 😅

Congratulation Dan, what a nice video. But I feel like you missed one of the main airline behind this hub strategy nowadays, Ethiopian Airlines. Because most of these middle eastern airlines have at least a pretty attractive hub on its own, particularly Emirates and Turkish with Istanbul and Dubai being popular destinations. On the other side Ethiopian’s hub, Addis Ababa is absolutely not famous. With the hub strategy they are now able to fly more than 120 aircrafts to literally all the continents. Who would have ever thought of a flight connecting Sao Paulo to Addis Ababa or Jakarta Addis Ababa, all of that is now possible. Like the middle eastern airlines, I think they were also forced to offer a better product cause at the end they won where Kenya Airways failed...
Please keep giving us these great videos .

He is wrong when he said the economy class in something like Qatar is only good because of newer aircraft. He hasn't flown in these airlines. The economy class is far superior to american business class. Let me repeat, Qatar economy is night and day ahead of business class flights from US airlines.
are you talking about business class flights of US carriers on domestic routes? It's well known that services on domestic flights in the US is mediocre, but their international ones are not too shabby. Definitely not night and day between eco quatar vs. business american.
That depends on the route and plane model an American Airlines Boeing 777 business class is definite superior to that of Qatar economy class
It doesn’t take much to be better that any US carrier.

Interesting. I would like to add that the connecting airport plays an important role in these airlines. To attract passengers to non-direct flights, you must ensure that their connection time will be spent in a good way. After experiencing Turkish Airlines I would definitely want to connect again through Istanbul airport as it's an amazing experience by itself.

You nailed it Dan. Great analysis, and so true when you say it's about the experience. I'll fly SFO-DXB-CDG on Emirates 380 First just for the experience. I look at it as a 40 hour vacation, between 26 hours of fly time and 14 hours in luxury Lounges. 😉😊
Thanks for putting the ad at the end! Great content.
Nice! Great Video, Thanks!
AKSHSJSJJSBS- the RPDR reference with the 747
lmao I love that you used Latrice Royale to describe the 747!
Why Middle Eastern Arilnes are so good? My 10 year old advises: 1. Only Qatar, Gulf, Emirates and Ethiad airlines are good. 2. The oil and gas revenues provides financing ; 3.Government owned and financed; 4. Expensive hiring European and American PR and Advertising providing publicity, visuals and narrative; 5. Profiting Western advertising, management and customers.ALL FAKE!
@@MK-nj5up please stop

I flew Emirates once. It was the best overseas flight, even in economy class.
I flew Emirates once (Bangkok to Copenhagen). Given the universal praise for this airline I was surprised how unremarkable an experience it was.
@@edinger1978 The praise mostly comes from their insane advertising budget which probably costs them more than they make.
What a great analysis Dan, i never knew this information
AHHHH congrats on 400k Dan!! you totally deserve it and more! also like always amazing video I was hooked from start to finish!

Thanks Christine!🙏
Thats true...once you tasted the experience of 1st/business class premiums...you dont want to go back to economy....😅😅😅 learned that lesson on my first 1st class flight 22yrs ago...since then every long haul flights were all 1st or business classes. 😅😊
I once flew Saudia airlines to Jeddah for a 2 day stay before I left for Singapore. And boy was it luxury. They had so many varieties of food to choose from, and the seats were soft and not uncomfortable, they had huge TV screens attached to the hand rest (literally massive) and the flight attendants were so trained. I seriously cannot wait for another plane journey in Saudia airlines!
my first airline experience was Saudia when I was a kid they give us backpack with toys loved them, but now i’m fan of emirates they feel home
3ven I had a very similar experience with Saudia Airlines luxury beyond limits
i only flew Economy on Saudia and it was meh, but the Mediterranean food was exceptional.
Having watched Dan for ages, I really love the growth!!!
Great Video Nonstop Dan congratulation on 400K subs :)
I love Qatar airways! I been flying that airline for 4 years! In my opinion, this is the best Middle Eastern Airline.
I would also love to become a pilot one day. Very inspirational
I can't wait to try them!
qatar airways has amazing customer service and in flight assistance but damn emirates’s product is just so good
@@aaravputhran1872 I haven’t tried emirates yet either! Not sure about their new business class that is 3 across, but their suites look amazing!
I've flown from Dallas to Doha and back again over 4 times. Yes, Qatar Airways is the best
So true! I would turn down my company purchased business class seat on Cathay from Paris to Hong Kong and all day long would take the Emirates Paris business class or first class direct to Dubai short layover then Dubai to Hong Kong!
Had the privilege of taking Emirates first class the whole way at least five separate occasions! There’s something to be said about having a “Shower on board!”
Thanks for the vid.
Wow always amazing @nonstopDan! Love this... it’s really interesting and after all my years of flying have not known this!
Ironically in 2012 I did Emirates flight as Gold back then with Emirates - from Buenos Aires to Brazil RIO
Which I couldn’t believe was available.... considering it was technically a hop flight which they used/ operated .... not sure if they do this still... and many onboard were going from Buenos Aris to Dubai via Rio
Wow super cool thanks for these doco series this has elevated your Aviation channel to a whole new level! Wonderful
I've tried Emirates once, but Qatar the rest. I love Qatar more as it feels more luxurious. Children always love the foods and a little bonus to keep them busy.
Do Asian airlines next (SIA, Cathay, ANA...)
Singapire Airlines is d best Asian airline cuz they have a modern and diverse fleet of aircraft and I'm proud to own a 1400 scale model of their 787 dash 10 and a350 900
Those airlines are below Dan's exceptions of premium travel.
They're all great for different reasons - good video idea!
Very informative video. And congratulations on teaching 400k subscribers. Hope you reach 500k soon.
Found a gem of a channel, thanks mate
