Hello Micha! Wow.. what a journey. I’m a Native of Durban. You’re right about South Africans, especially Durbanites.. very polite and chilled people. My older brother relocated to New York. He traveled the same route. I rarely see these Durban to USA videos on KZfaq. Appreciate the awesome video👌🏾

I've watched this video so many times - it just hits all the marks so well: pacing, good narration but not with irritating details or personal opinion; great detail about the airports and flights themselves, music that is given only when it's needed e.g. flying. I just love this video it's both to the point, but has nice extra details, I hope I get to travel again somewhere soon. :)

Thank you so much for this video, really enjoyed it! You really showed the full airport and flight experience with Emirates and Dubai. Just want I was looking for.

And I totally understand the "I'm not hungry now, but I might be later, so best I eat what they're serving" regarding snacks. I am the same. :)

Also - did you fly Economy with no extra perks? I am hoping to fly from Australia via Dubai too (to Europe), with only a carry-on suitcase and a small backpack (backpack is smaller than my carry-on suitcase), worried having two carry-on items will be an issue, as Emirates says only one 7KG item? I am hoping my backpack counts as a personal item...? Thank you if you can shed some light on this. :)

That’s been that way for years. We lived in the Middle East until 2013 and been to Europe the double security check.

Yea I remember having to go through all these extra security check as far back as 2011 when I would fly through the Middle East! I guess it’s better that they try to be extra safe!

You prefer to sit in back? I’m surprised you could stow your bag up above. We usually don’t get to sit together because neither of us will sit in middle seats. We’re both tall. So, we try to sit aisle across from each other if traveling economy. Mateo was noticeably quiet this trip.

@michaworldwide 11 ай бұрын

Hahah yea Matteo was very quite this time around! 😂🤣 and that makes sense! Matteo & I like to sit in the last few rows because on that particular plane model, the last few rows are only 2 seats instead of 3, so I take the window & Matteo takes the aisle. We always find space for our bags thankfully, and we can get up easily to stretch our legs, and the bathroom is next to us as well, so we find it the most comfortable place to sit for long haul flights! 🤗

@lifewithgrandmabev 11 ай бұрын

@@michaworldwide We haven’t noticed that any of the airlines we fly on have 2 in last row. Don’t know about being so close to potty as I have an ultra keen sense of smell🤪
