I would keep my seat. Nice looking trip.
its a pain in the neck when they always ask single travellers to change their seats. I experienced that several times before but refused most of the time. But once someone came up to me and asked which the flight attendent noticed and told that person to leave me alone. Loved it !
Actually slight correction there, after takeoff; when the engines spool down, this is because the plane sets climb thrust. Before departure pilots calculate a certain amount of thrust they need to get off the ground. The plane calculates a set amount of power for the climb. How large this spool down is depends on the amount of power used during takeoff, the more power used the larger the spool down will be. Noise abatement procedures are done by minimum altitudes, maximum altitudes and turns. Noise abatement is about the position the aircraft flies over not the amount of thrust.
Thank you for your kind feedback! Always happy to learn something new. Are you a pilot?
the Luxury Travel Expert Private pilot as a hobby and Cabin Crew as my job
It's usually because ATC tells them what speed they need to go. An aircraft with full throttle will easily exceed the 250kt speed limit within bravo airspace
I'm glad you refused to move your seat after booking it ahead. The couple could have done the same thing but didn't so they face the consequences! Nice flight video. Thank you!
Exactly!!!!
Even though only a "Leisure Airline" - read - almost LCC, this airline looks great in business class. Hope the migration from Lufthansa to Thomas Cook will continue (or even enhance) the great service.
Also, this business class hard and soft product is seriously impressive for a low cost airlines. Most low cost carriers offer recliners in business class and tray meals with glass plateware. That appetizer on this low cost airline would put all US domestic first class foods to shame. And the seat is nearly a flat bed just a few degrees short. Definitely a good airline. Thanks for the video, very well done! Hope you enjoyed your flight
I did enjoy my flight a lot
Glad You Did Not Give Up Your Seat.. You Paid And Pre Booked That Seat. They Could Of Done The Same. But I Actually Blame The Steward/ess For Putting You In That Situation.
Spectactular last three minutes landing! waiting for your next posts about seychelles! Greetings!
Thank you!! Everything I needed to know about the business class with condor. You are a fantastic reviewer!! Best ive seen on youtube and I follow everyone ;-)
I'd like to say that i love watching your videos and i look forward to seeing them all the time and when i saw the title of this video i was extremely excited because I'm from the Seychelles 😊🇸🇨
wow, you live in the most beautiful place on earth :)
the seychelles are really beautiful
Daryl Ciseaux So then you probably speak Kreol, right?
Love that Engine sound!
Excellent video as always. Personally I gave my seat up for a family of 3 on my flight from London to Amsterdam. It wasn't a long flight obviously but I was relocated to an aisle seat which was kind of annoying because I was coming out of Heathrow and you have to be by the window because of the variety of aircraft you can view. (You can probably tell I love aviation) To be honest next time I will not because to be honest it was only a short flight and they can wait the same way I can wait. I know it kind of sucks that you can't sit together but I got my seat fair and square. The same thing also happened on my flight from Kenya to Amsterdam and I refused because sometimes people arnt that nice and they will try and take advantage of you if know what I mean. I would only give my seat up to an elderly couple because you know it may just be their last flight together or maybe it won't but I wouldn't want to take that away from them. Anyway cant wait for the next video!!!!!
Av Pro
Av Pro gave up my seat from heathrow to nyc to a family with a baby for two reasons:
1. Babies are annoying creatures on planes
2. Free business class🎉
Dimitry m8 I think the business class part would of had me nodding my head before they even finished saying it.
Av Pro the funny part is that my dad actually told them that we would like to change seats if we could get business😂
Wow Condor has a pretty good service ! Im amazed ! I expected less
Ive flown on Condor Business several times. In my opinion its a really good product but compared to Emirates it‘s a better Premium Economy😂😉
"only cobtains the basics you would get in economy class". What airline gives economy amenity kits? I have never gotten one in economy from what I can remember
Some airlines, like Virgin Atlantic, still offer amenity kits to Economy Class passengers on longhaul flights
Waguar Many economy classes in long flights has amenity kits, including things like eye masks, toothbrushes, and earplugs.
TasteTheApple oh, ive flown plenty but never got them
Toomas Pasanen Then I suppose not so many airlines provide kits...
Waguar when you fly with Turkish Airlines you get an amenity kit
Can't wait to see your reviews of the hotels in the Seychelles, especially North Island.
Thanks for the nice video!
I always sit window also.....I never switch....always buckled in when in my seat and sleeping. Great video...thanks for posting.
I would give up the seat if I was being put in another window seat, otherwise I would not! Great video as always :-)
Conor Sullivan was going to say the same, everyone has chance to pee book, why didn't they?
Yeah me too.
I like how the flight attendant hid from you when you boarded the aircraft and did not want to be filmed. Looked like a good business class product, I mean we both know its business class from the 1990's, but i'm sure the fare was pretty good.
Those 767 rest area's really crack me up, at least moving forward modern aircraft have private area's for them to sleep and not take up space for the passengers, a much added improvement.
The starter looked fantastic to be honest, a very nice selection, and the snapper looked pretty good for the main, all in all it looks like a good experience. I will have a similar service on my London - Cape Town flight next month, however it will be with Thomas cook, so will be nice to see how they compare.
Great video as always
Thx for your comment! Always nice to see a popular RUclipsr posting a comment here :).
In fact, the Business Class product is quite young, since Condor overhauled their Business Class cabins in 2013 & 2014. Unfortunately, the fare was not cheap at all, but they are only one of two airlines that offer direct flights to the Seychelles from Europe.
Enjoy your holiday in Cape Town next month. I was there last month! It's my favorite city on earth ....
Thank you, I'm looking forward to South Africa, will be a nice two week trip. It will be a real comparison flying Thomas cook to CPT and flying BA F on the A380 back from JNB.
Come to think of it, I looked up the fares and you are right, not that cheap at all.
Wonderful trip report, Thank you posting again.
When I Travel The World OMG I SUBBED TO YOU!
D-ABUL is a version 3 of Condor B767. Only Version 3 has 6 rows of Business Class, while the other versions only have 3 rows.
Can't believe you both landed within a few minutes of each other! Another nice video! Thank you 😊!
I couldn't believe that either :). Thank you for the compliment!
Can not wait for more videos from the Seychelles!
I would just like to say that you do some great reviews and videos , it proves you are a travel expert 😀 Keep going!!
Thanks a lot for your fine comment!
Cool, with Condor and this plane, I flew this year also in the business class. Was nice, but the Seats are not 180 ;)
Hey! Hab gerade nicht mit euch gerechnet 😂
Agreed that Condor Business Class is a "great surprise"! We traveled Frankfurt - Las Vegas in September, and - like yours - the dinner was amongst the best inflight dining experiences we've had. Keep up the great reviews!
Thank you!
Stewie on Family guy said it best,
Lady "Excuse me, do you mind if we switch seats so my family can sit all together?
Stewie "No, we don't we-we don't switch."
Lady 'Cause when we booked, they didn't have three together
Stewie "Ma'am, ma'am, your poor planning does not constitute an emergency for me. You'll see him in Paris. Go sit down."
I like that, lol
one of the better food presentations by any airline I have seen . some of the food you have eaten on your first class flights looks a little rich for my pallet . enjoyed the flight .
Never once have I ever taken of my seat belt apart from toilet or disembarking the plane I always keep it on u know it keeps me calm
I would give up the seat for another window seat or if there was a good compassionate case for doing so. I did once refuse in a case like yours and got really filthy looks from the couple. Their rudeness and sense of entitlement made me sure I did the right thing. Really looking forward to the rest of this series. Seychelles is on my bucket list but I am very anxious about flying over water. I was just feeling nervous watching the in-flight video over the Med when you mentioned about the crash! :-(
I am a very nervous flyer myself, especially overwater. But traveling to the Seychelles from Europe is not that bad. It's only about one hour over the Mediterranean (with many airports close by) and 90 minutes from Africa's east coast to Mahe.
Hey "Lux" your footage at the landing over the water with the music, extremely well done!
Well thank you! I like epic, building music, and I felt it fit well with the landing sequence. I am a big fan of Hans Zimmer (although this is not his music)!
I Thought It Was Time(Inception) Hans Zimmer If Not What Was It Please ?
John Folland OK would never have known thanks!
That landing was magnificent. I should thank you for all of these videos - they're what inspired me to start doing them.
Thank you for you wonderful comment
food in the lounge looks delicious!
beautiful filmed bro!10/10
Looks like a pretty good deal. Excellent lounge, nice seating for the plane ride. I might have to give them a try someday.
Nice video, very insightful. thanks for sharing
5:08 No way, I won't give up my seat to someone else except if it's on a London Bus. GG:D
Thanks for such a nice video and your interesting comments that I want to fly with DE. As I see Condor has made a lot of improvements in busines class cabin.
Zoals altijd leuk om naar te kijken. Bedankt.
Pieter Smit
Bedankt voor het compliment :)
I also would not have agreed to change seats. I was once asked to give up my window seat so that a couple could sit together. It was an 8.5 hour flight and I had been delayed an extra day trying to get home after being gone four months, so I really had to refuse.
Thank you for all the vids.
You're welcome :)
Nice video, great camera work of the landing coming into the Seychelles, look forward to seeing more
thank you
Thanks for your beautiful video. It has a fantastic viwe
wow!! Absolutely amazing! so detailed, great quality video!
Thank you!
very informative for the future traveler
you make the best travel videos :) and that dessert looked so good
Thank you very much for your very nice commen! :-)
I have to admid, that the dinner looks great for BC
awesome photography. Thanks for refusing to shift so you could share thus with us🖒
Amazing video as always!! Btw what camera do you use?
Amazing efforts
Happy 50K Suscribers. You deserve it
and if In fc I take my seatbelt off unless I'm sleeping but in Eco I keep it on
excellent video..what lovely ffood and destination..old plane
hy again an awesome vidéo. I wish one day visit Seychelles islands.
Thanks ! man for uploading nice video
You're welcome
WOOW!!! Most likely for this so beautiful video I would like to give you "THREE" likes. YEAH!! Condor is my most favourite German airline, the airline,s (long-haul) destinations are so different nice and adventuresome. Always during my last DE flights the cabin-crew was very friendly and funny and the cabin-design always very clean and shiny upholstered. I deeply like these soothing multi-colorcabin-lights.
ainda estou Asistindo
amo o 767 kkk
I watched ur all video s very nice
Thank you so much for all your work on these videos...I'm in the process of putting together enough miles for a First Class flight adventure of my own. Destination still TBD, but this is really giving me ideas on what to choose. Thank you again!
Also, I saw your BA Calgary to London video. Yes, I'm afraid that only Air Canada has a lounge in YYC, and everyone else uses the Chinook Lounge. I do hope that someday soon, in the new wing of the airport, someone does build a second lounge (preferably Cathay Pacific)!
Thank you for your kind comment. With which airline are you collecting your miles?
+the Luxury Travel Expert I am collecting on Alaska Airlines' Mileage Plus. They are partnering with Singapore Air, and I am eyeing a First class trip to Singapore...expecting it'll be in the neighbourhood of 180K-200K...
I had a vacation on seychelles it were too amazing i couldn’t take it
yes...The B767-300ER is the best and safety popular aircraft in the world......
petros chalk I'd say the 777-300ER
You have the subs because your videos are fantastic. Been a fan for a long time. Onwards and thank you
Thx a lot!
nice and awesome trip report!!!!!!!!!!!! i love sunrise seen from plane......it s so émotional!!!!!.KEEP GOING.man!
thx
Another great video :) I have to say, I've never been asked to switch seats as I don't travel solo, but I've asked someone else to switch several times, but I've never asked that person to switch to a seat he or she didn't have in the first place. Ie. if you were to switch your seat, you should have been offered another window seat, otherwise they can't expect it in my opinion.
Looking forwards to your next hotel reports. Say, do you always stay in more than one hotel during a trip, or are the videos from the same destination all different trips?
Hi there, thx for your comment. I mostly stay 2 to 3 nights in a hotel. I like to switch hotels at least once during a trip :-)
I would've obliged to change seats if Condor had provided something in exchange. Perhaps a substantive amount of credited air miles, for example. Great video.
Awesome video. Great video work. Very nice! Thank you!
You're welcome
a very good video, hope you had a pleasant holiday, ,
D-ABUL is the one i flew in april
awesome video
Asistindo mais uma vez kkk
amo o 767
Wow! That's the first time I've ever seen that much food served. Was all that food inclusive or did you have to pay separately?
Cheeky asking u to swap they would of already tried this before boarding
Good on you. You reserved your seat for your preferences. You may have even paid a surcharge. If the couple wanted to sit together they should've done the same.
Just remember that sometimes people have not booked in advance (sometimes our lives do not allow us to do that) and then seats together are no longer available even if you try to book them.
Has I said in other reply, if it is a couple I may understand you do not give up your seat, but some times it is small children that need to travel next to their parent...
or they are just lazy or entitled to thinking the world revolves around them. Next flight they can prebook. If they can go on a flight then someone booked them, I seriously doubt they showed up at the airport on the day of the flight to leave, if so they probably got a chance to meet TSA really well.
Tried Condor a few months back while traveling from Munich to Havana. The business class fare for a one way ticket was $950. My expectations were very low since it was that cheap for a 10 hour flight. It far exceeded my expectations.
Same here. I booked a one-way fare to the Seychelles for 950 euros. I did not expect a lot but was pleasantly surprised with the onboard product (especially the food).
Maravilha
Show de Voo.
parabéns
just wanted to add this. Just came back from remarkable Holliday. Had a 2 longhauls. 1 was Air France At to St. Petersburg 2nd was KLM Oslo to At. Both 1 St or Business class. KLM beat Air France hands down in every department. From Cabin Crew to Food to Comfort. Bravo KLM Intl Business Class ****!
just left comment. should be AtL to St. Petersburg : Oslo to Atlanta. & **** for KLM
7:40 isnt that when the take off thrust is reduced for climb thrust?
Muito bom o Vídeo
parabéns
And what time was this
Omar Jamaal Ali fftu
I've heard great things about the Seychelles... until I looked at a map. It's unsettling how close it is to Somalia.
The Seychelles and Somalia are separated by more than 1000 miles of Indian Ocean. The Seychelles is one of the safest destinations on earth. Don't worry :)
Hey, I really enjoy your Videos. ;)
I'm interested in which cameras do you use?
I use a Canon SX710HS
Excellent Video n Music
Care to share the name of the music
Two thumbs up!!
I love seychelles
great video! I would have moved seat however!
Nice and detailed review. U should make a flight review on Ethiopian airlines new Airbus A350. it's gorgeous.
Ethiopian Airlines is on my bucketlist indeed!
I love your channel so much! But like how do you travel alot, is it for business?
Mostly for holidays
Love the music
how was your check in and boarding experience ??
você fez esse Vídeo com uma Filmadora Makina Digital ou Celular?
I always prefer the aisle seat so I can go to the bathroom without asking permission especially on a long haul flight
I want to go there but it is very expensive
What is the name of the film?
i did the same flight buissnes class too it was great
I'd refuse also, other peoples bad planning by not choosing their seats in advance is just not my problem. Awkward if you have to sit next to one of them though.
Thank you for the video. The lounge looks quite sterile though
vhat is the attraction of a somali holiday?
its very interesting places to visit
Great video! Especially loved the music during the beginning. What was the name of it?
Thx, Jason. The name of the song is Boutique Explorer 3 (www.epidemicsound.com)
Thanks so much man! And you're welcome.
Right, I'm 13 years old. I went on a plane from London Heathrow to Chicago O' Hare. My sister and dad were going with me. However we all had different seats and I really wanted to sit next to my sister. The lady sitting next to my sister had an isle seat and so did I. The lady was kind enough to swap seats with my and I thanked her a lot. What would you guys do? Great video by the way!
Is Condor an lcc airline or not?
in which place you live
PLEASE make a video about Alitalia's business class!
Beautiful plane and video!! What type of engines? CFM, Pratt and Whitney or Rolls-Royce?
General Electric CF6
the Luxury Travel Expert Thank you ! I wish my name was Luxury Travel Expert, like officially ;-)
What did they say to you after you refused to move?
Everybody was calm and friendly :-)
the Luxury Travel Expert ok thanks. Qatar economy class on A350 was amazing you should do Edinburgh to doha on a350 I haven't been but when they used to do 787 8 on that route it was amazing So a350 could be a decent experience to
