A nice business class product. But to call this first class in today's market is a stretch. Any product in which I have to climb over my seat mate to get out is not first class.
Agree with that verdict
If you saw the seats, you can see that you do not have to climb over anyone to get to the aisle as there is plenty of room to get by the seat next to you.
@@LordJupiter1 No there isn't. If you are in the window seat and the person in the aisle seat has their seat turned into a bed, you would have to step over them to get out.
It is basically the same hard product that is offered by La Compagnie, but at least La Compagnie doesn’t use an old narrow noisy Boeing 757 anymore but a modern quiet and wider Airbus A321neoLR. But I have to admit food on thus flight here is really first class.
This plane will be day flights only - it goes from luxury hotel to luxury hotel like the Four Seasons jet
Looks like QATAR Business class plus some caviar. Altogether , just an ad for Abercrombie & Kent with Nicky eating as usual.
You mean looking like "old " Business Class😅
The PGs seem to be competing with Sam Chui for most fawning reviews these days. Hopefully the airlines are paying them well.
If you booked a first class ticket on any normal airline and got those seats, you'd be disappointed. This is a business class seat, at best.
It looked like the emirates 777 business class
At least the seats are fully flat what is not the case on many Emirates 777 .
Usually love the videos from this channel but this was a miss for me. Not really sure how this would be classed as a private jet, if there are other passengers on it then it's just a regular commercial flight. Also those seats resemble Premium Economy, a far cry from Business Class and definitely not anywhere near First. This whole video just seems like a paid ad unfortunately.
Edit: just seen that the seats are able to lie flat, which is great but still doesn't make them first class
I love the way you're "hyping" it up as its a freebe - its business class, hardly first class
The recent videos just feel like barely concealed adverts.
I usually like their content, but this one feels so exaggerated. Like oooo, look at this wooden toilet seat. Come on!
Yep, since the Qantas 4 class video, every single one lacks any integrity. I guess money's tight or else someone's being greedy. Maybe it has something to do with the US branch failing, and the rebranding of the channels not doing too well either.
Thats exactly what they are... The Airline doesn't give them a free trip for nothing 😅
The fact that these videos aren’t marked #ad does not create an impression of integrity (at best)
Thanks for the amazing tour. Such a beautiful plane to fly on. I was missing a tour of the in flight entertainment system and Liam but still just an outstanding flight. Always a bonus when the crew seem to be happy at their jobs. Thank you Abercrombie and Kent for the experience.
Always love your enthusiasm, great way to start the day !
Really liked this review but agree that it is not really first class travel. Food looks amazing for sure and service seems to be exceptional. Depending on the length of the flight I would be happy to not have to get up and wander around too much. Would have loved to have seen some more about the actual destinations on the journey. Look forward to following your adventures.
What an awesome trip! ❤ should have taken Liam with you!
Looks a lovely flight - thanks for sharing your insights and experiences. Stay well and positive. Hello from Auckland, New Zealand : - )
Have fun I wish I could fly first class like you
Great video, need more from you like this
I’d say that was more like a ten year old business class seat at best. The seat control panel looked cracked. No in flight entertainment screens? Flying around the world on that may be a little boring over the 25 day tour.
That said, I’ll just download content onto my iPad and rough it (😂) as it would be amazing to travel around the world on that jet and see all those sights 👌
Great Video The Points Guy Departure private jet
What an amazingly nuts experience
Ah the dream! Great vid 😊
Even though I read the title correctly as this video is all about first class, but it just feels like your in a business class when there's less privacy over the seats.
I would absolutely love to do this flight! Thanks for showing it to us with your gorgeous style
Always wanted to see a BTS for this! Such a fun and interesting vid :)
Whether it was first or business, I'm just glad that Nicky wasn't stuck in coach for once.
SO EPIC! A PRIVATE JET!! 🛩️ 😊
Cheers 🥂 mate!
Looked like a FABULOUS & EXQUISITE EXPERIENCE!

Also, please check out my channnel Caleb’s Aviation I’d appreciate it.
That was a funny corbell challenge
Videos of these private Jet vacations are extremely rare so i am happy to see this today. Somebody already did a 4 seasons one, hopefully TCS is next.
Can you review Spirit Big Front seat? Wanna see if it’s worth the $40 upgrade on my trip this summer
That aircraft was here in malta a few weeks ago!!! I was on ramp when it came in!!
I do love a 757.
Pity it's been decades since I've been in one.
What happened to Fitch? A&F! 😉 Lol 😂 At least they could have given you A&F PJ's!
Four seasons offer the same and theirs also includes staying at Four Seasons Hotel. It’s a good hard product, it’s the service that makes it first class.
Question if u have a window seat and needs sto use the restroom but person next to u has their seat in bed mode n they are passed out do u crawl over them lol how do u get to the aisle in that situation just curious
Awesome great for u m8
It's weird, it reminded me of when I got upgraded to first class on South African airways, maybe 25 years ago. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it was a fantastic experience, but things have moved on, and even the old BA club world business class seems to give you more space from your neighbour. Just an impression.
Nicky seems to get all the good gigs :) Looked like a business/first product (seat business, food first). I wonder how much it cost - or would cost. 1 min or so is very slow for call bell challenge. So no-one sat next to Nicky...but they made up the bed anyway.
$165,000...
@@HyperDaveUK He didn't do the whole trip...perhaps you can't do this normally
Bruh. I would just take that bottle of Bleu De Chanel
Seen all the first class it makes them regular
Pity no longer the Concorde is in service ... I flew it from New York to London. Now THAT was First Class!
Oh my gosh...where in Borneo will you be at?
You should review the four seasons jet now!
Nice, and you know when you are talking about the lamb your accent gets thicker 🙂
Going to have to agree that this is looking like Premium Economy with perks. The seat configuration is seriously holding back this product from anything more than "entry level" Business class.
Somewhat of a charade dude. Looks like an ex Emirates ride ? That was an upscale Business Class product AND that bus ride to the plane was next level !! No thank you.
An epic fail.
yo your so cool
This is an advertisement, not a review.
A key question is whether The Points Guy paid for this flight or whether it was a freebie from the charter airline. As the fare isn’t mentioned, I’m guessing it was complimentary, in which case there should really be a disclaimer in the video as when you pay for it out of your own money it’s different to being given the experience for free (as you may not be as critical in reviewing the product). 🤔
(The fare clearly isn’t $165k as Nicky mentions that’s how much flights can cost … it’s not for this particular flight)
Nicky sure had his happy pill before boarding. A tad too cherry to me. And I agree with those comments that downplayed this experience as truly first class.
Would be comfy if decked out with Apex Suite
Godzila vs kong a good felm for this kind of flight . 🐉
First class and you’re right next to somebody, I don’t think so! Wouldn’t even be happy with it as business class
That did not sell me. It sure was nice but those seats! No PJ’s and zero privacy/direct aisle access. Looked to me like an older business class product. I watch these for your presentation style and very much enjoy it but that left me totally scratching my head.
At first I was wondering why the comments were hating on this video, then I looked it up more and couldn't agree more with comments. Idgaf if it's an around the world "air cruiseship" $165k/person is not a price that can be justified by any metric.
Mind you I manage travel for the C-suite of a $165+ million organization and I am constantly booking or advising staff responsible for booking first class tickets.
The avg cost of a refundable changeable first class transcontinental flight for the lower 48 is $1800.
In the transatlantic market it's $2800 or so.
And transpacific its about $4k with sufficient timing.
So you'd need to take either:
A: 91.7 transcontinental flights
B: 58.9 transatlantic flights
C: 41.3 transpacific flights from the east coast of the USA (BOS) to make up for 1 "around the world" flight on Abercrombie & Kent.
If we made things whole number to keep it simple that is:
92 transcontinental flights at 2,605 US miles each (total = 239,660 miles)
Or 59 transatlantic flights at 3,257 miles (total = 193,225 miles)
Or 41 transpacific flights at 6,705 miles (total = 274,906 miles)
for 1, 24,901 mile flight (total = 24,701 miles)
Can you call it a private jet if there are other random members of the public on board?
Did no one else buy tickets?
W
I know it sounds ridiculous, but the fact it still comes on a tray seems a bit disappointing. Even in business on Qatar they will lay your table and then arrive with just the plated dishes. It makes the meals feel more like an occasion.
I swear Nicky has the best job in the world! Wouldn't mind swapping my 9-5 for that.
Thought it was Abercrombie and Fitch.
How is it a private jet when there are multiple people on board?
Nice. but even Virgin Atlantic Upper Class (old and new configs) doesn't have seats next to them. Definitely not First Class, more like an all Business Class flight.
What did YOU pay for this flight?
hi what happen to your left eye?
who thinks Eric struck and the points guys should do a collab
I would actually prefer normal business class regarding the hard product, the soft product looks good tough
You are taking the piss, right? A late April fool? Private jets only tend to have people you know on them, otherwise it’s just a basic business class.
Yeah, this is not a first class product. This felt like a paid commercial rather than a legit review. There is nothing first class about the product.
He is totally hyping it to the sky
Hi Its me!
Where is Jean?☹️
Wheres the In-Flight Entertainment?!
It was an iPad @3:30
2:12…Jeez, this is AN OLD PLANE! The 757-200 were made between 1983-89…so this is a Really old plane!
Business Class Seats, Standard Lounge, Bus Gate.... Wheres the First Class?
Those seats have no privacy at all and appear a bit on the narrow side. The in-flight service however looks fantastic.
The irony is all those animals will be dead by the carbon footprint of this flight
It looks lovely, but it's for a niche market - rich, retired couples with loads of $$$ who don't mind arguing over who gets the window seat...SQ is a better product and just business class. This has a market but it's not for people like Nicky really - it's for the cruise crowd who don't have the time for a world cruise type thing. IMO. Still looks very nice and swanky etc
Is it just me or wouldn’t you expect a PJ if you spent that amount of money on a flight 🤨
Iceland to Portland, Oregon is hardly a “flight around the world” 🤔
Hey guys! Did you prefer to paper pipe for the environment today 🤣🤣🤣
The seats are a basic/older style business class certainly not first class.
it is quite a stretch to call that seat "first class" in this day and age. Maybe so ... 20 years go.
First
Since the Qantas 4 class video, every single video seems to lack any integrity. I guess money's tight or else someone's being greedy. Maybe it has something to do with the US branch failing, and the rebranding of the channels not doing too well either.
Service took things to the next level? LOL. Longer call bell, and say as if it is special to be checked up on in business / first. As if ME carriers don't do that.
Such a bad (outdated) hard product, nothing really good in food, and even the bedding seemed low quality. Most PE pillows are fluffier than that tiny pillow and thin liner.
Also, as nice as it may be to fly a 757-2 for a AvGeek, that's a helly noisy plane for a "first class luxury" experience.
Is this advertisement or a review? Not sure to be honest..
I would not say that this is First Class
Well, I was going to say something , but everybody else is mirroring my thoughts. I'll add one thing. You get what looked like a standard bus from the airport to the plane!!!!!! mmmm. I didn't care for the set up when I first saw it and nothings changed. Better first class products much cheaper elsewhere.
This is NOT FC. This is like emirates 777 business
pls can I have a shout out
Paid promotion? This is an early 2000's Singapore Airlines (and others) BUSINESS class seat. Calling it First in 2024 is ludicrous.
This is not a private plane.
No privacy, climbing over other passengers. This isn't even nowadays business class.
Isn’t really first class compared to a lot of business class products. At that price point, I’d expect something better now - even Qatars Q suite or Nippon’s the room greatly surpass this. They can easily refurbish this aircraft.
Just an advertorial. If one of the big European carriers had that as their business class product, RUclipsrs would be saying how awful it was... An old iPad for watching movies, really?
Why’s he keep calling this a private jet? Nothing about this is a PJ experience
Nicky, did you get in a fight with a viking? what happened to your eye brow man?
Dude…..
Not what we’re used to, this isn’t that special feels like an ad. 😢
Not impressed, Air Canada and even Jet Blue have similar setup in a few planes
paying 165,000 to jump over some sleeping person to use the toilet is far from 1st class. as for the video itself was 1st class as per usual
Singapore bissness class os better
Who did you bribe?
Hard pass. For that crazy amount, nothing first class in the product. 2-2 configuration is a no no.
Looks average for that cost
Biased af?
I fly Qatar business class and the only difference is this serves caviar. Apart from that I would probably fly Qatar buisness because the seats are better.
