    Honest, constructive, and kind commentary is what is expected. The airline can't fix problems if no one points out how they can improve. Don't change a thing!! 🤗

    Congrats on your new home in HK!! Great video. I love your candidness and critiques in this video. I think it's good you're sharing this, they need to learn. But we also learned that you don’t like anything Mango related, that’s more #jaydentrivia 🤣 Thanks for sharing the Flying Dutchman KLM at 21:20 in HKG! I love the “retro” MTR (metro) cars. Wow, what a nice surprise to see Raymond here, so fun. He’s such a nice guy! Great VLOG of HK, my second favorite city! But the food is tops. Great views of HK!

    No employee standby would go and "self upgrade" to a cabin they did not get a seat in and challenge the crew. Speaking from the POV of a UA employee standby PAX, that would probably go against the airline's policies on standby travel. If this IS the case, then shame on them. I accept whatever seat I am awarded based on my seniority because it is a privilege and not a right.

    • @JaydenWong

    Great video as always! Flew on a cathay 777 a few months ago, and the seats were so much nicer, almost like their A350 seats. Honestly, I would be pretty annoyed if I got this aircraft instead of the normal Qatar planes, since they have so much better seats. Anyways, good luck with your new home and keep up the great work!

    Actually it's really common in DOH to get onboard or disembark outport in Doha, maybe simply not enough boarding bridge there. In view of the very hot temperature (36 degree in summer midnight), I think DOH really needs a major expansion to avoid outport boarding in future.
    BTW, I personally prefer this old CX cabin rather than QR's own one. It's just more comfortable. And QR's kid's kit is colourful and joyful.

    Nice review! I have been on this flight in the past, and it was actually quite a tiring experience with all the transfer and terribly long bus rides. Agree with the jet lag issue...I tried adjusting to the HK timezone but failed miserably and ended up sleeping the whole way 😂
    As for the meals, the main definitely looks more appetising than what we got back then (we had three options but they were quite unappetising compared to the options you got). The first meal (breakfast) is now cut & replaced by a sandwich starting from the winter 2024 schedule though. Lucky you skipped the dessert since they tend to be terrible (overly sweet - just like how desserts are in the Middle East)
    Also, the mocktails on QR are amazing! I managed to try all of them & found the apple one to be the best.

Air New Zealand also operates an ex Cathay Pacific 773ER, which they normally fly Sydney/Auckland/Houston! JW seemed annoyed, don't see that often hehe but I don't blame you, ignorant passengers! Yeah, love the sound of 777 GE engines! Wow, you nearly forgot the coat hook🤣 Agreed, always time for bubbles on board! You don't like mango, wow you're definitely not Filipino haha.

    that way, they won't need to fly them to hong kong to get all the seats and other equipments repaired by the hong kong staff.
    Anyways, QR has only been flying those planes to hong kong and no wear else as far as i can tell based on the data available.

    Oh my god... until today I found it absurd that Doha Hamad is the world's best airport, where I think it's nowhere near the best. I would agree if Singapore or Dubai are named the world best airport, Doha airport simply has a terrible management and yes, there's no point of the priority boarding, find it annoying that you have to wait for a long time. I thought things get better onboard but those ignorant passengers are simply a big embarrassment and I can really tell how annoyed you are 😅. But at least the crew are able to dealt with it and the onboard service just makes it better. I couldn't imagine having breakfast at approx. 4:00 a.m., it's kinda too early and the lunch being served 3hrs before landing to adjust with the HKG time is actually quite smart, since everyone may have jet lag, therefore the service flow is actually good. But overall, I feel like QR needs to learn better, and for Doha airport, what a joke. For a world-class airport and airline, it's subpar. Thank you for the trip report, Jayden, can't wait for ur Emirates' ADL-DXB

    Don’t feel shy to express dissatisfaction, Jayden. Social media is so widespread and “powerful” now, if enough people bang the same drum about a company, there’s a good chance it will reach someone high up there who can enforce any necessary changes. Your tone during your note about Hamad airport boarding process was perfectly good, it was nothing compared to the absolute hell you see in comments sections of online media about airlines and air travel. Keep being honest with your feelings and feedback, just don’t turn into one of those attention-seeking nobheads with the most clickbait of titles (ahem Josh Cahill ahem) and we will appreciate it.

    Constructive feedback is just part and parcel of what has to be accepted when offering services.
    I hope you also provided the feedback to the airline- especially letting them know that you missed out on a shower because of it.
    You’re paying for their services so you’re allowed to have an opinion on your experiences.
    Nice to see some footage of your city too.
