Hi there, I'm a kuwaiti here and I hope you enjoyed your time here in Kuwait and flying on Kuwait Airways. the part about the coffee bit is actually cultural, in Kuwait we pour you a little coffee so you would order more and stay for longer, it's a sign of respecting the guest and honouring him. Actually pouring a full cup of coffee to people in official events (weddings, Eid Gatherings, Election Candidates events, etc...) is considered an insult (because it's like you saying here's your coffee now please leave).

I am an Indian human being. And despite spending my time here in this very wonderful city to work in Kuwait city, this Kuwait city will be appreciated as much as it is in my words. And when I leave Kuwait for my home city of Delhi, there is only one aircraft which is a Kuwaiti aircraft, the sub-service of this aircraft is very good and excellent. And one important thing I try to say to all the travelers is that whenever youKuwaiti plane if you decide to travel from Kuwait. Very nice and excellent is awesome. ❤❤

20:24 i came a little late ! But the little pore of coffee is actually an kuwait tradition way it is our way to tell the guest that i want you to stay more so i can pore you and serve you more! As a Kuwait myself we do this with our guest it our way to tell them we are more than happy to serve them and by pouring a little at time it show them that we want them to stay longer lol ! It may be odd to foreign and you may see it as disappointment but it actually made me happy that they stuck with our traditions and not coped other gulf airlines to try and compete them! I hope you will see my comment ! All love from Kuwait 🇰🇼

The service to Manila is used mostly by Filipino migrant workers, that's why you were the only passenger in first class. On 99% of flights to Manila, first class stays vacant. That's why they don't bother with the flowers and amenity kits on these routes where there are little to zero butts in premium seats.

@PatrickSheaAviation you might want to fly them to JFK to be in a position to judge their first class product in its full middle eastern glory. Back in the day - about 10 years ago - their desert trollies were legendary. Even if the hard product was like a 90s time capsule, with 2×2×2 reclining (not even lie-flat) leather seats in first. But the soft product was out of this world, at least to London.

You give the most complete seat and area tour I’ve ever seen! It is indeed strange that you weren’t offered a turn down service. Your snacks were amazing. Your dinner looks and sounds delightful. Nice landing. Truly an honest assessment of what they offer. Cheap, worthwhile flight.

Love your videos. Just starting following you a short while ago and your informative videos give it another edge than some of your fellow vloggers offer, even though I appreciate them as well, each for their own reasons. Regarding the first class you showcased here I think they are way behind Qatar Airways. I flew on their business class between Doha and Oslo on my trip to Thailand two years ago on a 787-900. The seat was a kinda suite as well with a closing door, no cubby for coats and not so much storage space and a slightly smaller seat, but the food seemed to be much superior of that of Kuwait Airways. Being such a rich country I feel it's a bit strange that Kuwait Airways is not investing more money in both soft and hard product to become a serious competitor to the other gulf airlines. Nice jobs with your videos!

Another great vlog and an interesting product. I think the seat wins hands down it seemed there was space and storage for ages. Wifi isnt a deal breaker for me im looking at the map or out the window and the food seemed OK. Whilst I do enjoy a gin in flight and wine with dinner Kuwait being a dry airline wouldnt bother me that much. The lounges looked good and if the aircraft did the London rotation then onto Manilla thats a great connection and theoretially even if a couple of hours late you would still make the connection if they didnt substitute aircraft. Back in the day Kuwait used to fly a 5th freedom flight from London to JFK using a 747. It was around 30% cheaper than the other direct flights but always late and cancelled. I stuck to British Airways as there were more choices if flights were cancelled. Id certainly consider this product if the fare was good given there are flights originating in London.

Well done trip report Patrick and for the Kuwait Airways flights to MNL you are going to have a Majority Filipino crew in addition to a Kuwaiti Captain/First Officer. For the Middle Eastern airlines flying to MNL they always do Arabic English and Tagalog announcements. Same way as how UA transfers their EWR/IAD/ORD/IAH Filipino crews to GUM and SFO for MNL flights. In 2024 Oman Air joins Oneworld as their 3rd Middle Eastern member after QR and RJ.

Beautiful review, I found Kuwait Airways to be a good airline, If you want to travel from point A-B safely and well fead, Comfortable, But it’s true Just like Saudia they don’t care about the small details, That said they are expanding their route network in 2024 with the arrival of the A330-900 & A321neo, Also all of their B777’s are supposed to be refreshed and i heard they will remove First Class.

Etihad has tried, but not very successfully in terms of head-on competion.

We do not allow israelis on our airplanes and that due to their government occupying Palestine against international law. Also, Kuwait declared war against " israel " in 1967 and to this day we have no peace treaty with them. We are at war and till Palestine be free we will still at war. Say that to ukranians why they not allow russians? racism, discriminatory or just common sense.

@@PatrickSheaAviation Ah yeah, that's true. We don't need a VPN just for that 😛 Aside from that, we have lots of travel fairs here. One time, we got a round trip to Lisbon last year, but opted the return to be business class and the return journey was like 800-900 dollars because it was promo. Though sometimes, the promo requires a local card unless maybe you visit the physical the onsite location. The business class wasn't that impressive though. The lounge we used on Lisbon was crowded. We were also on the 777 so Emirates used the 2-3-2 layout, which I didn't know was a thing (Sometimes, I wonder if that's the reason why the business class seats didn't cost that much 🤔). I also made a mistake of ordering chicken instead of beef cuz the chicken kinda sucked. The flight attendant asked me how the food was and I said 'it was good' because I wanted to be nice 😅 It was my first time though so it was still nice. I've never had lie-flat before. Also my first time to visit the Business Class lounge in Dubai. It was amazing, but it was past midnight so I didn't have a lot of energy.

I flew Kuwait over this summer. on the IFE: They blur out any images that may be sexual in nature, even if it's not explicit. I saw Selena with Jennifer Lopez, the part where she wore a bustier top and was dancing on stage was blurred out. 🙄

First Class and yet no alchohol or amenity kit. Ridiculous. It's almost 2024, they need to get with it. There are international passengers who want those amenities. Just ridiculous.
@PatrickSheaAviation
@PatrickSheaAviation 8 ай бұрын
“Get with it” may not fit this situation as it sounds like they recently got rid of amenity kits on some routes. Kinda strange not to see that for first class passengers 🤷‍♂️ but the alcohol at least is a cultural thing

It is the worst airline I have ever flown. Most cabin crew except for one or two were really ignorant, and unwelcoming. The new terminal has no forex services or good places to get some nice food. The airport is like a domestic airport in India. Or at least their new terminal (Idk about the other terminals). They cancelled one of my flights and rerouted me with no apologies or compensation. But I have to say, those who were helpful in the cabin crew team were really helpful, and so kudos to them.

Dang. Out of curiosity, were you in one of the bus gates in the new terminal? I arrived in one of those and it definitely had a different feel to it than the upstairs jetbridge gates.

Kuwait is a dry country, as some Muslim countries observe, but it is a piece of the puzzle that makes it tougher for Kuwait Airways to compete head to head with others

Find it difficult to hear and accept your criticism of an airline based on cultural practices, Kuwait is a very conservative Islamic country where alcohol is not available, unlike the more liberal UAE for example, therefore they don’t serve alcohol which shouldn’t be used as a negative reflection of their national carrier.

@PatrickSheaAviation 9 ай бұрын
I mean yes, it all makes sense, and reflects their culture, but will still subtract from their ability to compete head to head with other carriers
