Yeah, PJ (private jet) people. You know. 1st class is for KZfaqrs, credit card gamers, corporate upgraders, and, perhaps, PJ people who mislaid their PJ.

Sometimes, your jet is down for maintenance, or your crew isn't available because of illness. Real life still happens for the rich. Don't forget, maybe the the wife and kids took the jet somewhere, and weather won't let the jet get back to you.

Often times peoples PJs can’t cover the distance they need to travel so they will need to fly this way

can't avoid those types of people when it comes to customer service

Skip to the end. Rich people still bickering about it. Yah do what you gotta do, and let these people complain that it’s never good enough. They’ll never be satisfied with life.

LMAO

Fantastic catch. I lol'ed hard. Rich engine parts salesman encounters ... let's just say ... fabulous! airline guy :D

He was thinking "damn that boy ZESTY" 😂😂😂

I was very impressed with the clip of SA in the 70s. I travelled from South America to London BA and then to Singapore on SA in 1979 en route to Perth Australia. I remember even in those days it was a beautiful airline. Economy on SA is like first class on any other.

Oh and I remember how beautiful the cabin crew were in those gorgeous dresses, not changed a bit as explained at the beginning of the documentary.

I just flew with Singapore Airlines recently and they don't do that anymore. I do remember them handing out rolls of piping hot towels after everyone settles down a few years ago.

@@aviationchannel6204 Really? Pity 🥺 Probably because of COVID. 😤

VIP is a horrible term. You're just as important as they are.

You primitive beast!!!😁

Melatonin is so much more effective to get through a long-haul flight. Beats caffeine any time

🤣🤣🤣

Or worse: too few creases!

Perish the thought! 😳

Nobody would choose to go economy if we all had tons of money!!

I vacation in the Maldives frequently. I actually enjoy Q suites and Emirates business class

I highly doubt you explored all of New York City 🙄

Omg I was looking for this comment ❤ I was like ok😂 👍🏽 But yes he was hilarious I loved him what a guy I love ppl who are serious but yet makes it interesting and able to have some fun and laugh. I feel like he was play acting so you know the drama and sorts I hope nobody took that very serious lmfao. Love the energy but I dislike the pressure… I mean you can feel it and see it in this poor workers ugh but God bless he looks like he tries to enjoy what he does and he should he’s not working at the very bottom so cheers 🥂 Tourism can be tough but also rewarding for those of you who don’t know you gottah give ‘em credit!

Unfortunately they don’t need to

Not really. Emirates and Singapore are the countries' flagship careers; not necessarily focused on maximizing their profit margins. I know that many airlines have gotten rid of First Class in preference of Business and Premium Economy. Those suits are expensive, but yet don't turn as much profit as other configurations.

I flew first class on Delta on my connection to a first class on Asiana. Delta's first class was just a slightly enhanced business. They even boarded coach passengers through first class and so I had to be bumped in the arm by everyone with their carry-ons trying to squeeze through the narrow isle. Felt like being packed into a cattle-car. I'm glad it was only a 2 hour flight.

@@GTRNights All US based airlines & airports tend to be just functional i.e getting the job done with bare minimum necessities and that's why none of them cut into top 10 rankings from comfort, standards and quality of service point of view.

@@GTRNights So true! Same here. It didn’t feel like first class at all; just a little bit more leg more.

lol

@@varrjames186 The partition folds away. When families travel they do this to have a larger suite. I've not flown in a suite before, but have been lucky enough to travel 1st class on several international flights. It really does make it hard to turn right after that.

I didn't think it was a complaint so much as their evaluation of 'was it worth the cost!' And they gave their opinion. Only 2 double suites would be an issue at holiday time! But this video is old, so I'm sure the airlines have fixed this issue by now! But since when is giving an opinion (to an unheard question) a complaint? They were obviously asked 'how is it?' and they gave Their answer! If you don't want to hear honest replies don't ask any questions! Some folks aren't impressed with 'oh, gee wow' fluff! Besides, they looked Very, Very tired. Being older people I had more interest in their evaluation than some 20 year old kid's opinion. (A guy still living with this mother, in a tiny room, in her attic! What real life experience does he have? About anything!??) Besides, the older couple actually paid cash money for their ride while the kid had a 'free' lift. (How many evaluation flights would he be offered if he did ever complain about a thing? Right! NONE!!! So he will never be anything other than--- VERY COMPLIMENTARY! As long as he says nice things he will be rewarded!) Sorry, but the money paying couple are the ones the airline needs to listen to AND satisfy! Not some kid, getting free rides, thus being paid to say nice things! The idea a 20 year old can be a travel/plane critic seems totally absurd, at best! Other than his 'free' flights what real traveling has he ever done? (Probably none!) Yet he--- can evaluate? Really? I mean, REALLY NOW! HOW ABSOLUTELY, TOTALLY, ABSURD, as he climbs into the galley cart locker to see how it fits!!! SILLY, dumb, and WHY would he do that??? AND checking to see how fast the toilet lid closed??? BIZZARE! IMMATURE! AND JUST SO TOTALLY, TOTALLY POINTLESS! SA allowing this clown to do his 'evaluation' of their new plane doesn't say anything good about SA! Everything is of a high calibre and to a very high standard EXCEPT for the evaluators??!!! Hmmmm........!

How was it?

@@oliverhrcm Firstly, thank you for your question. Well, I actually flew 4 different long haul segments between Sep-Oct 2022, wholly in Premium Economy. There was very little to differentiate this section from Business class except for the lie-flat beds. The seat pitch, width & foot rest in Premium Economy were comfortable in every aspect and very easy to fall asleep in. The unending food & beverage were just great too. When I noticed the meal services winding down & lights dimmed was when I introduced myself to the inflight supervisor and let him know I was a former employee. He was thrilled to make my acquaintance and we spent a long time chatting whenever he was able to. Within 3 weeks of these flights, I had to fly out again at very short notice on a similar routing, though this time I flew Qatar Airways (2 flights in Economy) onward and return by Singapore Airlines (2 flights in Business class). As you probably know, these are the 2 finest airlines in the world - so lucky me! QR segments were efficient and comfortable, while SQ Business class was as expected, simply stated they were Best in class!. Here again, when the inflight services had quietened down on the SQ segments, I introduced myself to cabin supervisor, who made the effort to stop by my seat to chat whenever she could. So a summary of my thoughts from having flown several comparable airlines in a mix of Coach & Business on EK, QR, SQ, CX, KL, LH, each of which make every effort to surpass each other, there is one key differentiator in my opinion: the people! Yes, thats right, the SQ employees I interacted with (even prior to introducing myself) were simply the most warmest, cheerful, helpful, humble, patient & highly professional - in short they stand out over the crew of aformentioned airlines. Kudos to the trainers and ofcourse the founders of the best airline in the world (Respect to Mr. JYP whom I had the honor & pleasure of meeting mid nineties in Bangalore, India). Just to be clear to anyone reading this, I'm a revenue passenger (fare paying passenger, not free tickets!) who will look for any opportunity to fly SQ whenever possible and take advantage of either Changi transit or Singapore stopover. SIA - Truly a great way to fly.

🤲✌👍💯

Is a threat to the current standard of beauty, the/a world needs a little chaos at times

@@shivshiv6958 the world needs less chaos. And everyone agrees with the standard of beauty. It’s only ugly people with no ambition for a better life that want to create that chaos. It’s sad. They have a sad life so they want to make it sad for everyone else.

1. People (of any gender) are human beings, not "things". 2. "Beauty" is completely subjective 3. Those who refuse to subscribe to your delusional complacency of subservient, gross superficial cultures of beauty are no threat -- They are quite the contrary.

@@EBMJ I disagree

I looked that guy up on KZfaq and all he has is 830 subscribers. Compared with my own 21500 followers - it makes me an YT celebrity, lol😆 Honestly I don't know how a live at home with mom 20 year old could be an aviation analyst. I bet that over the years - I have been on more business class flights - than him🤣

Lol...............well said. This guy cant even rate local Tesco for its service..................

Fake it until you make it

Lol more than three or four hours internationally. For me, we have very few international destinations that close. Everything else is at least 8+ hours away at MINIMUM. most is like 12+. You kinda have to pay way too much every single time you fly international, in that case.

I'm right there with you !!

Q-suites on Qatar are the best business product out there.

@@brie3679 Pay way too much? Everything is better than >1 Minute in economy class.

I’m in the same boat, being 80 with arthritis, stenosis etc I just can’t go for long flights without lying down. Qantas, Singapore and Finnair are my favourites.

If they stick to good food its fine .. if they eat more wesrern food . They get fat

Yes, I wear a suit and tie in economy, and invariably get excellent service in economy class of Qatar Airways, Emirates, KLM, Air France, KLM, and ANA, mediocre service on other airlines. I see that Singapore Airlines has returned the A380 JFK-FRA, and hope to try it later this year....it will be a dream come true for me.

Being on a Singapore airline is on my bucket list too but it's too bad they don't provide the best routes for where i want to go so so far i have not been able to fly with them but i have heard many nice things about them.

I agree that even in economy class on Singapore Airlines is still the best airline in the world with great food options.

Yet at 34:24 little Alex says the airline hasn't achieved anything just yet and it's still to be determined if they have got it right. Incredible arrogance for someone who's probably never done anything constructive in his short life so far.

one day you will fly to heaven full free of cost and if done too much sin then be prepared to be roasted.................ohh well done or medium rare sir????

By breaking away from the Sarawak Federation in 1965 led by Lee Kwan Yew.

I agree, especially if one has watched a documentary about the war in the Ukraine just before this. And also a waste to the environment. It should not be allowed. If you don’t know how to spend your money, start thinking about people in need and the environment. But maybe that is the point, it’s not the kind who would like to share.

I’m perfectly fine with economy even when I fly from JFK to Singapore to visit family

I am happy with the economy class. I don't live in cloud 9

@Marino Tagliapietra Great insight! It's all about the journey anyway. Thanks.

@@amandaliebenberg2953 is the war in ukraine worse than the 20 year usa war in afghanistan?

lol true. At least he did seem to have a bit of knowledge about the industry, and he doesn't dress like a bum when flying First like Casey Neistat.

Now this was funny lol.....I'm laughing SO HARD right now.

You are aware, are you not, that the A380 is being discontinued due to high operating cost which has lead to lack of sales, right? The Dreamliner got off to a really rocky start but has lower operating costs and orders are still pouring in.

Peter, you are aware the A380’s are starting to be scrapped or stripped of parts? There are no new orders, the production line is shut down.

Did you forget his *70,000 SOCIAL MEDIA FOLLOWERS*?? haha

Absurd, isn't it?

Because SQ appreciates starting an eighty-year relationship with this passionate paying passenger...and not bullies......welcome to capitalism....

Exactly! This kid knows nothing about luxury - he's simply impressed by new things.

Maybe I watched a different video. I heard the disaster part was in matching the cost to what they recieved. And that there were but 2 double compartments! Perhaps they had a legitimate need for one, as in one helping the other with personal care or medical issues! Let's not be so quick to judge. If they thought they needed that, so be it. They know more about their situation than anyone watching this! And if I paid 15.000 whatever I'd want to fly with whomever I was flying with, too! And most likely so would everyone else!

If you won the lottery you should dream of flying private jet...................For business class you dont need a lottery Just 3 months of pay.

Yes!!!!

OMG, did they tell them to put it out?

@@heythave Yes, there was a huge kerfuffle aboard the aircraft as passengers and air crew rushed to put out the fire.

@@TheTeaParty320 The oddest thing I’ve come across was on a flight from London to Rome in the 80’s. After take off and about 15 minutes later, most of the Italians just stood up at their seats and just started noisily chatting away among themselves and across the aisles. It was bizarre. Our family just looked at each other and thought, huh, this is how the Romans do things.

Lol. That's a story and a half to tell your grandchildren. I can't decide if I would be more freaked out by a goat roast or about what David Crosby of Rock and Roll infamy reportedly did on a first or business class flight. As the story goes he was allegedly smoking crack cocaine.

Ticket sales from First class alone is worth more than all of the economy fares on the same plane. The luxury cabins are money makers.

Yes, I've seen this documentary a few years ago. The A380 is not even manufactured anymore.

It's from 2018. Two years BC...Before Covid. Things have changed...

You're talking about Richard, and I agree.

For businesses rich people are important, the pleb not!

22 hours? No aircraft without mid-air refueling can do that.

I'm in love with you. I try not to be but I am. You're the first person I think of in the morning and the last person I think of at night. When I'm lonely, I wish for you. When I'm happy, I want to laugh/play with you. When I'm hurt/scared/angry - I want to be comforted by you. When I'm excited - you're the person I want to tell. I don't know how long I've been this way but I'm already yours

@@ibnewton8951 oh excuse me for not breaking down the whole itinerary, in total it took 22 hrs 3 flights. I went from Houston to Bali. Which really is not important, what is important is that I really enjoy the airline.

@@barrywhite1161 hell of a way to feel about an airline.

@@anilaj9868 Airlines are just... You're hypnotizing. merely by existing, you redefine my ideas of beauty. you are not just physical perfection, you are seduction; you are the primordial, essential, eternal avatar of female sensuality.

Nobody ever said that wealthy people can be satisfied. If they're really wealthy, they would be flying on their own Gulfstream.

They really should buy their own plane. Amazing how this couple agreed on everything. What a perfect match. Hope they enjoy hell together which in itself is Hell!

Hahah! I thought the exact same thing about the 20YO still living with Mum! Ohh yea a real “travel expert/AV Geek/ETC” having so much input is kinda ridiculous IMO as to be honest at 20 what life experiences has he really had or better yet how long has he held down a job as to where he could actually afford a first class ticket on his own. Ohh and to me 70K social media followers isn’t that many!

Cha ching!

They're not doing it for free. Some of these tickets go up to almost $30,000.

😂 💀

It wasn’t mentioned, but I think the bloke sipping on vintage Krug in the lounge was bumped off his Spirit flight; and so spirit just rebooked him on this one to get him to his destination….
