    Really nice flight report 🍸 The lounge was OK for a short stay, shame about it being dry, those little bottles of vodka you can get would have gone down a treat in that can of Lipton 😎🥂 The food looked great onboard, and Godiva is always a godsend (excuse the pun) after a tasty meal 🍷 Question ... do you get a free ride home to Dubai due to flying business class on Etihad or is it the bus home from Abu Dhabi? ... Safe travels my friend 🥃🥃🥃

    • @TheLayoverAviation
      @TheLayoverAviation  2 месяца назад +1

      That is funny Dean, I actually did that with my friends to the wedding of an Egyptian friend of mine. We had stash all hidden in our tuxedo’s and would go out on regular “smoke breaks” and spike all the sugary beverages.
      But I don’t have the guts yet to take some to Kuwait 😂
      The Godiva was tiny!
      I did not get a free ride to Dubai as that’s only with the upper end fares, which I didn’t have. Bus is cool if I’ve got the time, but it drops me downtown and I would still have to take a taxi home, so I just took a taxi home.

    8:03 because the IAE Engines have a higher bypass ratio and has more thrust than the CFM. The CFM is more fuel efficient and can fly longer than IAE. For the A321, IAE engines are better since it is heavier than the A320.

    This is what Qatar Airways could have done with their regional 737 Max. I hope the new CEO makes some significant changes and gets ahead of the curve against their competitors again.
    Also Its kinda sad Terminal 1 of Kuwait Intl is closing. When my father was in Kuwait for his military duty from Bangladesh from 2009-2012, this was the main terminal for us (even those using Kuwait Airways). We reached Kuwait using this terminal, visited Europe and England using this terminal, picked up and seen off my father's colleagues and their families using this terminal and we returned to Bangladesh using this terminal. Its a bittersweet feeling honestly, but yeah nothing lasts forever. I hope Terminal 2 improves Kuwait's aviation sector massively.

      Simply explained; let’s say I work for Coca Cola. And I am someone that promotes and represents that business in public. But soft drinks are my passion and I go around the world enjoying them all, specially when I like Pepsi, 7UP, Red Bull etc as much as Coke. What would my business think of me?
