It’s nice to see that Etihad has brought back amenity kits now that they’re profitable again, they took those away in 2018. For a little while, they also replaced the headphones with the earbuds and took away metal cutlery. It’s nice to see most of everything returned (although they’re still inconsistent with having metal cutlery). While not 2012-2016 quality, it’s still an improvement.
I gladly join all the other commentaries my friend! Eric is a joy to watch and you must be so proud! Well done on balancing your video capabilities!! Eric was full of seeing Oma! Cute!! I have a grandson here in NZ named Teddy and for obvious reasons Im called Opa!! Fantastisch Alex. en een airline dat is also consistent in their service and time and attention for kids! Top report! Heerlijk genieten met een glas Campo Viego!! Safe and Sound my friend! Cheers. 10/10!!🥂🥂
Best father in the world and Mr. Eric the most experienced traveler together fly Etihad! 😊 Eric is a sweet and cute kid😍 After watching this video,i think im gonna fly Etihad soon 😅 Amazing video my friend! Hope you are doing well! Thanks for sharing! Regards, my friend! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY WISHES TO ERIC❤️
Great video. In August 2019, I flew in an Etihad A380 from SYD to AUH, and then onwards to AMS. I was on my own, and sitting on the other side of a 777-300ER, but otherwise my experience of the latter flight was very similar to yours. The weather was great, the views very scenic, and the in-flight service fantastic. Oh, and many years earlier, in 1988, I'd flown SIN to AMS aboard the 747 that's now the museum aircraft at Amstelveen. It's a KLM 747-200 combi with a retrofitted extended upper deck, and its name is Louis Bleriot.
9:14 oh my god I cannot believe these are still there. In the early 2000s I got this stuff on Gulf Air. One thing I will never forget was when they saw me being tired. They offered my family to get me asleep at the empty row at the window and they brought me a pillow and a blanket.
That is a nice story, I am glad they were so considerate! And you remember for live, so those are precisely the moments that count. I’ve got similar memories and still love those airlines for that!
Fabulous to see Eric enjoying travelling so much and thanks for sharing. My youngest at 15 loves flying and trying to choose between aeronautical engineering and mechatronics is as a career.
I think that it is very important to do something that you love, and if your youngest loves aviation then why not? I wake up happy every day just knowing that I’ll be traveling or making a video for you all. I wish your young one all the best!!
This is a great video as a document of your trip with your boy .. but also a fine vlog about this very good airline .. I’ve been noticing that they’ve upgraded their soft product since I was last with them (November 2022) , but I’m likely to fly with them again soon .. definitely the best airline from the region imho .. Your boy is so well behaved, Alex , and it’s great that he’s following in your footsteps as a lover of air travel .. thanks for your hard work , your videos are always enjoyable and interesting, and I learn something new from every single one .. 🙂🙏
They keep improving each time I fly with them. The same goes in their Business Class. I can’t wait to fly them again. Thanks a lot for the very kind words, I really appreciate! I am glad Eric likes to spend time with me on planes. Have a great one!
@@TheLayoverAviationditto the previous comment - great video Alex! What’s your verdict of Qatar vs Etihad when it comes to the overall economy class experience?
Hi! Great video I stumbled upon by luck. First time on your channel, your content is just perfect. Etihad is a great airline or at least, it's back in force and I've tried it last summer with my teen, same feeling as you : their economy class product is top notch. Can't wait to go watch your other vids.
Thanks a lot for the nice words! Welcome to the channel and I trust there will be video’s you’ll like even more! Etihad is indeed great and amongst my favorite. I’m flying them much more in the coming months so stay tuned! Thanks again and welcome to the club!
youtube will never be more important than the fatherhood. No need for apologizing and letting the kid be himself. Love the channel and videos even more, as we got to see how crew loves the kids
Wow, nice words! Thanks, loved it! Flying with my son again on the 5th of December, looking forward to publish that 😛 He has been counting down the days to his flight since day 40.. See you around!
I’m glad to hear that. It shows that a good crew you’ll remember for life! I still remember some of my best crew back in 1998 and 2001 on KLM and Iberia. That’s how happy they made me as a kid!
It was a bit tough indeed, but not the most challenging! Those are the ones where I am so tired and my body wants to sleep but I have to continue filming. Eric is a good buddy, so glad he behaved good this flight! Thanks for watching!
Zo te horen vond Eric het leuk om naar oma te gaan 😉 Heel leuk verslag met de kleine erbij!! Wat doet dat KLM vliegtuig op het dak, dacht die een helicopter te zijn 😮
Ja, Eric was hartstikke enthousiast om bij oma op visite te gaan. KLM vliegtuig op het dakkie is misschien verkeerd geparkeerd na een lange dag vliegen?! Nee, die Fokker 100 wordt daar geconserveerd en is voor het publiek geopend op het panorama terras. Je kunt er gratis heen als je op Schiphol bent!
Excellent stuff once again, a airline I really want to try, great review they do look and seem really decent, and I feel they get overlooked by Emirates and Qatar so nice to see a bit of limelight for Etihad. Great for kids which is a massive bonus for parents I’m sure which looked like you enjoyed the experience too. Fantastic stuff 😊👏👏✈️
The best crew I ever had was on a vistara flight from dammam to mumbai and her name was mansa. I'll never forget her. also that may be the last time i've flown with vistara😢. Love your videos!!!!
Etihad is superior!! I’ll continue to have people discussing me that, but I am certain. Etihad rocks, and even more in Business Class. All their people are just so great and fun besides the top product. thanks for watching!!
As always, Alex, great video! I love the experience of a son and father together :D eric is so cute! that food looked amazing I was drooling :D Btw, what language does Eric speak at the landing, It sounds like Dutch, doesn't it? keep the amazing content !
Thanks a lot Itai for always being here! I love flying with him and I am glad to make something that he’ll be able to watch in the future. the food was very very good for an economy class. And a big portion too! Eric mostly speaks English, that is his preferred language, but he will randomly use some words in either Dutch ( he was saying Oma a lot = grandma), Croatian or Spanish. But he was very excited because he knows grandma was waiting at the airport so his mind was going faster then his words. He was basically saying that it is time to leave the plane as Oma is waiting, say “hi Oma,I miss you”. Parents will always understand that weird language kids speak 😂
Great and challenging trip report with your son. Be healthy, both of you! P.S. Can I request a trip report from Doha to Narita or the other way around with Qatar Airways?
Very challenging indeed! But it was fun. thanks a lot for the nice words! Doha to Narita is very specific, and to Japan I just must fly Emirates as they have a dedicated Japanese service which I love. But QR is coming up soon to various other destinations 😜
I’m doing that exact route in a few days. I record my trips to a small degree, not like what full blown reviewers do, don’t want to take likes or views away from them.
06:27 but I've seen aircraft taking off literally seconds behind one another on those LHR planespotting channels. 22:44 what about the plane on the roof? Where's it going? 😂 More Eric please 😊😊
Loved the video. I learned something about take off. It is nice that Etihad gives an eye patch for customers. Nowadays for long flights hardly airlines are giving amenity kits which I missed in economy. Is it not recommended to fly business with kids? Hats off work with the video while having a kid beside.
That’s why getting amenity kits surprised me so much, so a good thing on their side! Am glad some airlines are investing in service improvements instead of cuts after covid. I don’t want to fly Business with my kid.. I think it sends the wrong message. My parents never flew me in Business, only they went and the kids behind. If you want to get there, work your way there. And it worked for me. I’ll do the same. He only got to fly business when he was a baby, in his moms belly! 😜
Any Turkish Airlines reports coming up? Their A350 / 787 products are just fab. I never been on the A350 or 787, for which I will be going on SAUDIA’s Dreamliner for the first time to Jeddah. Although it’s not operated by THY, *_it’s still a 787 Dreamliner_* and I wouldn’t be anymore happier to be one of those jets 😎
Just out of curiosity, what passport do you use to travel the world like what citizen are you? I would greatly appreciate it if you replied, great video have a good day.❤
Thanks a lot! We do enjoy together time.. That is the benefit of being separated often due to my job; that the moments together count more. It’s very hot in the UAE, around 43 now!
Thanks! Eric had a great birthday party. I really love the Etihad A380, and I’ll fly it plenty. The thing is that the Business Class is exactly the same vs the B787, so I kind of have plenty of video’s of that.. But I’ll do my best to get myself to First some day!
Ohh I love your video , each time it’s really fun and amazing to watch your flight videos , Feels like I’m virtually travelling with you , Btw Eric is so cute 🥰 I love him, Have a great time at Grandma’s 🎉 I have a question , how do you recognise the flights in air ? in the video there were 3 flights in the air and you mentioned their names along with their destinations , Im curious to know how you do it
I really appreciate the kind words, thank you! We had a great time indeed, it was a busy holiday. The flights in the air I recognize as in flightradar you can see all aircraft movements in the past. So, I go to the date of the flight and at the exact hour where I filmed it, and there I can see the planes that were there at that time. It’s basically live, but in the past!
Even easier to check in for EY flights on Sheikh Zayed Road where they have the Etihad check-in area for people coming in from Dubai. :D Think they have moved it now. I travelled on EY once in 2006 too when it was fairly new. Was pretty nice. Not a fan of the Abu Dhabi commute but its way too easy and quick now. Prior to that, I was all EK. The things EK used to do for kids in the early 2000s were really nice. Still have some of the boxes they gave kiddy things in to store important documents. xD I remember this architecture was there in 2006 as well and those round departure gates when you enter inside that have the windows on the circumference. 2:05 Glad to have lived in Dubai since 2000 to see the transition of these airlines. :)
I used to love it a lot when I was a kid. Haven’t watched it in long. I bet you would like the toys in Etihad as a collectable, they’re from Warner Brothers.
Emirates gets my vote over the other two Middle East Airlines i love their cabin crew seats fantastic and food incredible from start to finish it’s my opinion and my favourite airline
Of course a 3 year old knows his favorite food and drinks😂 3 year old know how to ask for what they want. And yes, he knows the big 3 ME airlines very well as he flies every 2 months or so with them.
I recently had a new experience when the pilot engaged the parking break during take-off final at the runway, I thought they where waiting for takeoff clearance, but to my surprise he pushed the thrust and the aircraft started to shiver a bit and then released the parking break giving us a push start to V1 speed….Can anyone tell me if it is a normal/genuine procedure or did my pilot forget to release the parking break prior to takeoff?
That is so cool and love that procedure!! And no, they didn’t forget, sometimes pilot do that or have to do that. One of the times where they have to is when the aircraft was snowed up in order to shake off any possible snow/ice. Some others do it for fun, other just to spool up or test something. All normal and fun!
@@TheLayoverAviation funnily enough, while we were taxing to the rwy 1 passenger refused to buckle up for take off, and the crew had a hard time getting him to do so, and i told my wife that maybe the captain wanted to teach that ma a lesson on what the consequence be :D
I thought Emirates was the most family friendly in wanting more kids to become the next generation of cabin crews and FA with their costumes. How come the smaller competing neighbor Etihad is more family friendly in your views?
They’re both great! QR too but we had a very hard time on QR with their A320’s as the IFE is either non existent or old, or no Wi-Fi, so the experience sucked for him. Emirates we like a lot too but he asked for Etihad this time. I’m glad they’re both my local carriers.
My favourite airlines is Etihad I recently travel in Etihad hyd to jed via AUH it was really awesome journey i travel with so many other airlines but this is emotion 🤍
Eric is a good and obedient boy
Very much so, I’m a proud dad! thanks for watching 😉
It’s nice to see that Etihad has brought back amenity kits now that they’re profitable again, they took those away in 2018. For a little while, they also replaced the headphones with the earbuds and took away metal cutlery. It’s nice to see most of everything returned (although they’re still inconsistent with having metal cutlery). While not 2012-2016 quality, it’s still an improvement.
Just wondering isn't it cheaper to use metal cutlery since its reusable?
I love when Eric is there in your videos! 😊 Also great video again
We fly so much together but I don’t get to film all the time, so yes, glad you liked the video!
That economy class meal looks like something most airlines would serve on business class with fancy plating
Awesome and wholesome video. It really reminds me of me traveling as a young boy with Turkish Airlines and Pegasus Airlines.
Thanks for the nice words! Will make a similar one on Emirates in two weeks ❤️

Sorry but this time I think it was Eric the Star of this Video😂😂😂 Once again Great Video! Safe Trips …
He was indeed! Thanks for watching and have a lovely day!
Best viewing before work with my coffee. Always enjoyable.
Have a lovely day at work!

eric must be a very nice and good boy..nice video too. a pleasure to watch
He’s my best buddy! We’re flying together again next week and he just told me how excited he is to fly again 😃
loved the father - son duo and your passion for aviation !!
Thanks! It makes me very happy to fly with him ❤️ ✈️
Eric is super cool especially his sneakers 🤗
He loves those shoes, they’re Vans ones with candies on them!
When I flown Emirates in 2015 on their A380, they had the friendliest crew I EVER HAD.
I’m glad to hear that. It shows that a good crew you’ll remember for life!
I still remember some of my best crew back in 1998 and 2001 on KLM and Iberia. That’s how happy they made me as a kid!
I love erik he so so cute in your videos ! Also keep up the good work and nice tripreport 😊😊
Thanks a lot Karim! hopefully he continues to enjoy to fly 😜
Must've been one of your most challenging flights mate.Kudos to you for multitasking successfully also thanks to Eric for being a good kid.
It was a bit tough indeed, but not the most challenging! Those are the ones where I am so tired and my body wants to sleep but I have to continue filming.
Eric is a good buddy, so glad he behaved good this flight!
Thanks for watching!
the legendary intro is getting better and better day by day.....ma bro doing a good job......
Thanks a lot, glad you liked it! It’s the most fun part to make. I’m currently busy with the next one 🙃
7:51 “the A380 Farm” got me dying of laughter 😂
Eric is so cute and clearly has the aviation bug just like his Dad, as always an outstanding trip report.
11:00 The best part of the flight. Enjoy the flight with your son. He is an obedient and a good son.
He is indeed. We enjoy flying together. He’s asking me this entire week to go by plane to see his grandma 😊
Thanks for writing!
What a beautiful video mate! Liked!
Beautiful flight trip bro....and good to see the Young Platinum Traveller. God bless him...... keep flying high...thanks again for a nice trip
Love it when I sit down for some entertainment and you've posted a video! :)
Best dad, you take care your son well God bless you..
Thanks a lot! I love spending time with him ❤️
Nice flight review, I enjoy your videos. Etihad Airways is back on track and it shows in their inflight service. May God bless Eric.
Eric seems to be a really cute kid 🙂
He’s a great kid! Thanks for writing 😉
I'd love to see Eric more often in future videos.
Great! Adorable Eric.
Thanks Miquel!!

I also still remember each great crew and pilot that has ever served me!
And I’m sure you’ll fly Vistara again if that’s what you want!
Fantastic video, as usual, wow!! Is it just me or is the Etihad economy experience superior to the QA experience nowadays haha ;)
Etihad is superior!! I’ll continue to have people discussing me that, but I am certain. Etihad rocks, and even more in Business Class. All their people are just so great and fun besides the top product.
thanks for watching!!
As always, Alex, great video! I love the experience of a son and father together :D
eric is so cute!
that food looked amazing I was drooling :D
Btw, what language does Eric speak at the landing, It sounds like Dutch, doesn't it?
keep the amazing content !
Thanks a lot Itai for always being here!
I love flying with him and I am glad to make something that he’ll be able to watch in the future.
the food was very very good for an economy class. And a big portion too!
Eric mostly speaks English, that is his preferred language, but he will randomly use some words in either Dutch ( he was saying Oma a lot = grandma), Croatian or Spanish.

P.S. Can I request a trip report from Doha to Narita or the other way around with Qatar Airways?
Very challenging indeed! But it was fun. thanks a lot for the nice words!
Doha to Narita is very specific, and to Japan I just must fly Emirates as they have a dedicated Japanese service which I love. But QR is coming up soon to various other destinations 😜
I’m doing that exact route in a few days. I record my trips to a small degree, not like what full blown reviewers do, don’t want to take likes or views away from them.

Amazing 💥💥. Cutest part Eric....🤗
Thanks a lot!! Eric is my buddy ❤️
I hope Eric enjoyed his birthday onboard Etihad. Happy birthday young man❤❤
We had a blast of a birthday party!! And a great flight on Etihad ❤️
Any Turkish Airlines reports coming up?
Their A350 / 787 products are just fab.
I never been on the A350 or 787, for which I will be going on SAUDIA’s Dreamliner for the first time to Jeddah.
Although it’s not operated by THY, *_it’s still a 787 Dreamliner_* and I wouldn’t be anymore happier to be one of those jets 😎
I love this!!!
Just out of curiosity, what passport do you use to travel the world like what citizen are you? I would greatly appreciate it if you replied, great video have a good day.❤
I travel with a Spanish passport, as it is amongst the best to travel with. So does my son.
Thanks a lot for writing!
omg im so glad your flying with your son like hes run is so cute
So sweet, loved it ❤
Thanks Annika!
Fantastic video as usual! A very happy birthday to Eric! What are we getting for the next video?
Thanks a lot!!
I think I’ll do some QR B787-9 in Business Class next.. I have so much QR and they keep piling up.
Your son isa lovely boy, he obviously loves being with dad. Once again a trip report we can love. How hot is it at Abu Dhabi?
Thanks a lot! We do enjoy together time.. That is the benefit of being separated often due to my job; that the moments together count more.
It’s very hot in the UAE, around 43 now!
Happy Birthday Eric! By the way, You should definitely fly the Etihad A380 before it sadly retires.
Thanks! Eric had a great birthday party.
I really love the Etihad A380, and I’ll fly it plenty. The thing is that the Business Class is exactly the same vs the B787, so I kind of have plenty of video’s of that..
But I’ll do my best to get myself to First some day!
Your edit is 10/10
Thanks my friend!!
Looks a lot of fun.
Hope to fly Etihad one day....
I hope you do too, it’s totally worth it!!
Ohh I love your video , each time it’s really fun and amazing to watch your flight videos , Feels like I’m virtually travelling with you , Btw Eric is so cute 🥰 I love him, Have a great time at Grandma’s 🎉

Is there coming any trip report with LOT polish airlines soon? Great carrier
I found so many great fares on LOT and hope to fly them soon, but I don’t think they’re in my way in the coming months. I’ll try!
Eric was well behaved. Your video was good and Eric added to its value.
thanks a lot, glad you liked it! He’s finally behaving good on flights, he used to be so much naughtier before.
Eric is cute but that 787 is amazing
But they’re both full of energy!
Etihad looks after young passangers very well. I am sure Eric enjoyed his flights and stay with grandma.

Glad to have lived in Dubai since 2000 to see the transition of these airlines. :)
Ah yes, the flying saucer/UFO gates. Used them plenty of times when I flew EY on the regular.
😂Always in Total Happinessto see your Trip Report 😂❤ Just not the same with other trip report😂. You Just the Best.😂❤
Hey great video! How do u know when the pilot checks the flight controls and which flaps are set ?
The flight controls are checked as you can see them moving. The flap is just a thing out of experience 😊
i am 25 yrs old and my instant choice to watch on the IFE would be looney toons
I used to love it a lot when I was a kid. Haven’t watched it in long.
I bet you would like the toys in Etihad as a collectable, they’re from Warner Brothers.
Emirates gets my vote over the other two Middle East Airlines i love their cabin crew seats fantastic and food incredible from start to finish it’s my opinion and my favourite airline
Great to see a young Avgeeks also I won one the Sam flight that took me to IAD Dulles
Man those ge engines are powerful
They’re insane!
Wait… a 3 year old knows the different airlines by name and has a favorite soda? That is the smartest kid I have ever heard of.
Of course a 3 year old knows his favorite food and drinks😂
3 year old know how to ask for what they want. And yes, he knows the big 3 ME airlines very well as he flies every 2 months or so with them.
Lovely video✈️❤️
You are awesome❤ and may God bless the child ❤❤😊
Thanks a lot for the kind words!!
Good one....
What language Eric was speaking??
Cheers mate!!!
In summer 2024 i might go to Dubai and I might see you at the airport of dubai and i if that happened id be very happy
En otra korean air airbus a380 800 por korean air es la mejor aerolínea desde Bolivia cochabamaba 🇧🇴

Has the new midfield terminal not opened yet? It’s taking forever.
It should open December.
Eric behaved so well! Good job Dad.
Thanks a lot David!! He was very excited to visit Amsterdam 😊
how do you know which planes are flying where by looking at it?
You can check it up on live plane trackers!
Thanks for your reply! Love your videos.
How about when you are in the air? How do you know?
I recently had a new experience when the pilot engaged the parking break during take-off final at the runway, I thought they where waiting for takeoff clearance, but to my surprise he pushed the thrust and the aircraft started to shiver a bit and then released the parking break giving us a push start to V1 speed….Can anyone tell me if it is a normal/genuine procedure or did my pilot forget to release the parking break prior to takeoff?
That is so cool and love that procedure!!
And no, they didn’t forget, sometimes pilot do that or have to do that. One of the times where they have to is when the aircraft was snowed up in order to shake off any possible snow/ice. Some others do it for fun, other just to spool up or test something. All normal and fun!
@@TheLayoverAviation funnily enough, while we were taxing to the rwy 1 passenger refused to buckle up for take off, and the crew had a hard time getting him to do so, and i told my wife that maybe the captain wanted to teach that ma a lesson on what the consequence be :D
I never forget to reuse almost 80% of what I get onboard by taking it home!
Same!

Nice Vlog So cute your son😍
Love airbus aircraft more
good trip report in spite of your son being there
Thanks! It was hard but I am glad to have a memory of him here for the future.
I like how you pulled the Uno reverse card on him, lol.
I thought Emirates was the most family friendly in wanting more kids to become the next generation of cabin crews and FA with their costumes. How come the smaller competing neighbor Etihad is more family friendly in your views?
They’re both great! QR too but we had a very hard time on QR with their A320’s as the IFE is either non existent or old, or no Wi-Fi, so the experience sucked for him.
Emirates we like a lot too but he asked for Etihad this time.
I’m glad they’re both my local carriers.
@@TheLayoverAviation Hmm...... QR should be retiring those A320's by now. Why have they not let that one go?????
first!!!
The. wow,awesome . goodnight~
