MEA - Middle East Airlines A321neo Flight to Lebanon

- I flew on one of the oldest airlines in the Middle East - MEA, Middle East Airlines from Dubai to Beirut.
The flight is operated by MEA’s new A321neo. Follow captain Maxim on the takeoff from the cockpit. Check out MEA’s in-flight offering and what’s it like to fly onboard. Before landing, enjoy a spectacular approach into Beirut Int’l Airport.
After landing, I went plane spotting around Beirut Airport. Watching a few MEA A320 and A330 takeoffs. Lebanon’s economic crisis is obvious, as there is no stable electricity supply. No traffic lights and very little light in the city at night. The difference between the official and black market exchange rates is almost 20 times. It is certainly cheaper for tourists to visit but can Lebanon survive the current economic crisis?
Next week, I will share more experiences as a tourist in Lebanon and whether the country is safe to visit. I flew out of Beirut on a MEA A330-200.

For a place going through extreme hyperinflation, the folks are still friendly. What an amazing flight and tour of Beirut.
People are on the edge, there are full of worries but yet they are capable of showing visitors of their great hospitality. Great resilient people.
@@SamChui They had such bad luck, terrible economy, corrupt politicians and to top it of a huge explosion that damaged a large part of the city. But adversity often brings the best out of people.
It's amazing how they haven't collapsed yet...
you know Sam's family basically exploited from Chinese people for his luxurious living in childhood?
I have been traveling for long long time with lots of different airlines I have to admit MEA was the best one the best airlines I have been with honestly ❤️
No matter what Lebanon goes threw it will always survive and to see what it’s going threw right now it still has a amazing air line and I’m proud for it to be my country
Most beautiful cabin crew in the world!!
Love Lebanon. I really hope they are going back on track. Beirut always in my heart.
your stewardess on the A321NEO was absolutely gorgeous
It’s great that there’s such a good airline in Lebanon as MEA. This video confirmes that it can not only survive, but also remain one of the best airlines in Asia. Thanks for this amazing tripreport Sam 👍
Oh yes
MEA is always a survivor and provides a lifeline to the country during the war. I really hope for the best for both MEA and Lebanon!
Used to have a380s
@@SamChui yes!
Amazing people living through very tough times with humor, grace, and kindness. I wish them only the best. Shalom, Salam!
Oldest and well established airline in the Middle East.. Lebanese Air Liban, cedars wings.. always impressed by their resilience, hospitality and unique service
The captain nailed the landing. Just beautiful.
Be strong Lebanese friends! We love your country 🇱🇧
And great video Sam
Thank You 🇱🇧🙏
There are twenty (20) times more Lebanese people live outside Lebanon.
For instance, ten (10) times more Lebanese in Brazil than in Lebanon. Just saying.
Thank you dear for your support
Thanks champ 🙏
Thank you 😔
Really impressive considering the economic crisis the country is going through, little indication of cost-cutting infringements on customer experience. A real credit to the institution.
leabenon is a very beautiful country my father used to tell me about it and how he lived for 5 years in Beirut. and how it was fascinating back in the 60s
It is still a very beautiful country by the Med sea! After all it had gone through, it makes it more interesting for the curious driven visitor like myself.
MEA is my favorite airline by far! CREW is amazing, their service is amazing, their planes are well maintained and, man... I have been to their training facilities.... Simply Amazing. My hopes are MEA will survive and thrive!
Lebanon always finds itself going through hell. a shame for such a beautiful country.
Hey STOP TALKING TRASH ABOUT MY COUNTRY OR I WILL REPORT YOU
@@Roy202he wasn’t talking trash he was just feeling bad for the condition and was praising it
That is Iran’s effect
That what happens when You let Iranians rule your country
@@ogaeryI don't think so, all generalities are false, get educated!
Thank you Mr sam chui for visiting Beirut. It was a great experience to watch your channel
Wow! Totally impressed with this MEA Airline. Very admirable cabin crew onboard, and they seem to be top-notch professionals. Not only is this an amazing video, but the audio editing and equalization could win an award or something.
The airline is actually beautiful but the lebanese ppl are racist curious and opportunist am talking out of experience as am a mixed race of both lebanese and sierra Leonean descent whenever I go to Lebanon I face racist situations in fact I've vowed not to go there any more!!! Most of people of colour like me suffer the same situations
@@sawsanshamel2330 as a lebanese-palestinian american I dont appreciate your generalization of my people. It is very unfortunate that you had to experience the prejudice that you faced in Lebanon, however those few interactions does not mean you can group all of us together and label us as racist etc.. If that was the case then you should consider labeling every other race/ethnic group as "racist" because I am sure many people have had bad interactions in every area of the world.
@@ramsey55 well let me rephrase let me say most of them I experienced these situations since almost my childhood and its really traumatising and am sure most mixed race like me are experiencing the same issues yes racism does exist anywhere in the world but at least there is a law that will intervene like for instance in Europe if you make any racist allegations you'll face prosecution and sometimes prison but in Lebanon it's totally different
go spread your hate somewhere else and stop generalizing millions of people in one educated statement
@@mirak3050 Its not about hate it's my own humble opinion it's what I've experienced and i believe millions of mixed race lebanese went through that nevertheless some lebanese are nice. I presume you are purely lebanese if you were a half caste am sure your opinion will have been different
Brilliant video about MEA. Lebanon 🇱🇧 is so beautiful. Thanks Sam.
Sam. That was great! You always bring out the best in people, a rare talent in this day and age! This was one of your best!
What a wonderful video Sam. Beyond your introduction to MEA, I also really enjoyed the little bit of Beirut that you were able to show me. Thank You!!
My friend Mark's dad was from Lebanon, he would talk about the earthquakes how you could be the phone with someone and they say an earthquake has begun, meanwhile it would take another 30sec to 1mintue before you feel the earthquake yourself depending on how far apart you were. Like an early warning system, but person to person. Thanks for highlighting what Lebanon is going through and the beautiful resourceful people they are.
Wow, this looks and feels really great ! Beautiful plane, interior and air hostess!!
Loved every minute of this video Sam
Thanks
cant have enough of beirut !!!!!! lebanon IS AMAZING
Great video with an amazing flight and tour of Beirut. People there very friendly.

Sam, thanks for this amazing video and what a lovely crew of MEA, they made a great impression on me.
Your consistency and quality of content never disappoints!
I’m impressed by MEA post Covid
Great vlog as always Sam
This is actually a very good video and the flight attendants seem all to be friendly and helpful.
Always learn from and enjoy your reviews!
Very nice report/video again Sam! What a beautiful (short) flight full of quality. What an extremely beautiful and friendly flight attendant, silky soft landing from the captain. Thanks for making another nice video. MEA go for it!
Thank you. Really appreciate it.
Great and interesting video. Thank you Sam.👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️
I visited Lebanon four times. First in 1996 six years after the end of civil war and Beirut was destroyed. I spent a lot of time in the countryside. As a travel agent MEA offered me a discount of 75 per cent. Thank you to the arline 🙏😉Then I returned for arabic courses and holidays. Lebanon is beautiful and I am sad for so many struggles. Lebanese are so nice and do not deserve what they are facing now. Thank you for the video.
Been to Beirut 3 times last time was in 2001. Turkish Airlines from Manchester to Istanbul and had a layover!!! Then Turkish to Beirut. The last time was with British Airways ....the flight had come from Damascus, and as we took off from Beirut the stewardess had just come from the flight deck as the pilot rotated! Had to catch the stewardess and pull her to the seat beside me. Chateau musar is a lovely full bodied red from the Bekka valley. Lot of good wine from there
I appreciate sam trying all of types of airlines and showing us all the hidden jems of airlines
My warm & special regards to Lebanon Beirut ....Thanks a lot Sam for this video....
Stunning views and wonderful crew
Beirut is awesome! mea is great! god bless Lebanon
Thank you dear for your wish
I'm from Lebanon and I love this thanks so much for the entertainment sam
Thanks for a great video Sam! I’m a Lebanese expat and it hurts to see Lebanon hurting from far away. The amount of tourists who made the trip this year is a sunshine we needed in this dark tunnel. You’ll always be welcome in Beirut. Enjoy it!
It's a big pleasure mr sam to have you in Lebanon and trying the mea
Always enjoy your adventures!😋
Thanks Sam, Great Video, love your passion and content.

Hey Sam . I’m Lebanese. I go on that airline every time when I’m going to Lebanon . Such a good airline. The breakfast is good .
Welcome to Lebanon thanks for the coverage MEA is the best
A beautiful country and people, MEA flight attendants always elegant, I feel so sorry for the Lebanese people, they have endured so much for so long, the old paint job looks great again.
Thank you Sam for visiting mea hope you enjoyed it 🙏🏻🇱🇧
I remember flying from Saudi Arabia to Lebanon on MEA and service was not so great but as i can tell now they have improved and gone way beyond my expectation. Also my business class flight i took once with them didn't have the greatest seats it was like economy with just a more bigger seat with extra recline but now they have for sure improved everything including catering
Thanks for visiting our beautiful Lebanon
What an amazing country!
Very nice 👌thanks Sam
Seats looked awesome 😍
Your video is always positive and happy. Keep it up!
Nice flight report, the inflight service looks great.
Thanks for highlighting the airline of my country in such a lovely way. It is indeed the best airline out there.

You have chosen a very good hotel ..My niece works there and tells me the hotel is equipped with 3 generators, so no worry about power failure.I also live next to the hotel.I'm a fan of all your videos.Enjoy your moments in Lebanon Sam
Nice aircraft
Thanks Sam
I haven’t flown on MEA since I lived in Kuwait in the early 1970s. Your video brought tears of nostalgia to my eyes. I so wish the best to the people of Lebanon. You were my favorite place to visit as a child.
Smooth landing👏 hats off
