Lowcost luxury? Business class costs around $2k.

You have high expectation

You are a gorgeous and happy man!

imagine Fly Dubai introduces Paris Charles De Gaulle flight for over 7 hours with their 737 MAX 8?

In 2 weeks

Just traveled business class from Lisbon to Porto a321 lr and it was a waste of money. The food was the same terrible cold sandwich they served for snack in economy during transatlantic flight. I think it was a cold turkey sandwich the turkey covered less than half the dry bread.

You should try the economy class from Abu Dhabi to Manila and compare how terrible the food and service is. How I'd love to experience business class

Narrow body over the Atlantic, on a 3/3 configuration on the economy... Help 😅

aspoň titulky kdyby byly v češtině..

Great video. I’m flying etihad business class for the first time this Friday

Let me guess, you're an Africander/Boere so you speak highly of KLM, but you must think we're idiots? you spread everything that was in the KLM bag on the table, giving the impression that there were more things than in the TAP bag, obviously you must think that we are all idiots, but ok, thanks for trying to fool the ducks!!!!! !

Nice video. I am travelling to USA in Etihad economy class and 10 hrs layover in Abu Dhabi. Can I get free lounge access ?

I fly often with CX and understand the cost cutting over many years and know most crew try their best. We as pax are not heard either andany flights in J only Prem Yeals left. Oneworld Emeralds treated different to CX Diamonds. We support nice people and do appreciate you all.

Nice review! Do they serve fresh brewed coffee in lounge? And in airplane also fresh brewed coffee?

Hi Nice channel and thanks for a Nice review. 1 comment : the crew is not trying to make friends it s just the Dutch way like i m myself. We are just friendly, easy going and straight to the point . It s just what you like or not ofcourse. Keep making Nice video's please 😊 kind regards from The Netherlands

Nice to see you enjoying your flight at Etihad, I'm planning to fly business class in July to Seoul too. Thanks for the tips and insights. cheers!

FYI...In the First Lounge area, no view of the tarmac. Old F lounge much better.

You were only in the business check in area, the First Class area is hidden behind another door

Hope to see you aboard some time

Excellent first ever trip report. Liked and subscribed. QR's product has always been amazing, and this was no exception.

this is because they are owned by fly emirates 💪💪

❤❤❤❤❤

This guy is an arse, he pays 1000€ for a leg and compares it to the likes of BA / KLM who charge 2500€ for the same journey! TAP offer excellent value and are not a competitor for a ticket that is 2x the price.

I have flown business class on many airlines before and have some expectations on what first/business class should provide. I was extremely disappointed in TAP's business class and here is why. My husband and I just got back from Portugal on TAP in Business Class, which will never happen again. First off, my husband has extreme visual difficulties so it is important we sit beside each other so I can assist him. When we checked in, they had changed our seats. We asked if this could be corrected and they could not change the seat back to what we originally chose. Fortunately the passenger next to me changed with him so we could be together. Just as Adam experienced, the reception was not there. The first interaction I had was to place our food order (no drinks served) about an hour after take off. We flew during the day so everyone was awake. Hot towels were delivered which I loved. Our meal was okay, but not business class quality. After they cleared our trays, we saw no one until they delivered our "light snack" about 1 1/2 before landing. So no drinks (water, wine, etc) for about 6 hours. The "light snack" was the worst meal I have ever had on a flight. On the positive side, the seat was comfortable for me but I am 5'3". My husband, on the other hand, who is 6'3" was not comfortable. And just like Adam the pillow was so think I had to fold it in half. The amenity kit was lacking as well. All in all, I will fly TAP Business Class again as I do not feel it is worth it for what you get.

Good to know. I just subscribe to your channel.

hard to hear you, keep the mic close to you next time well done

You’re doing great 🎉 keep going

Flew KLM Amsterdam to NYC business class mid March 2024 and it was terrific ! Really good and service was excellent.

Nice video :-)

It might be quicker to simply list the foods that you ARE willing to eat. I had a nephew who only ate peanut butter sandwiches. No jelly, just peanut butter.

You paid a pittance for a business class ticket on a transatlantic flight. What did you expect? A luxurious service from an airline whose country is rich in oil? What was missing from the amenity kit? You didn't mention the entertainment system, which is one of the best in the aviation industry. You had to wait 40 minutes for service, so what? You are aware that the crew were preparing the service during that time, right? Or do you think things appear done in the galley? Dishes have to be cooked and assembled to be served to passengers, as do the carts used in the service. Do you want to talk about Lufthansa? I've flown with them, and I can say that the service is terrible, in addition to the crew being unfriendly and having this crazy idea that everyone on the planet speaks German. You have to insist on them to start a conversation in English. Finally, the fact that you find dual seats uncomfortable, just because you have a person next to you, makes no sense to me. Your review is not entirely fair.

I have to say that I was quite disappointed by TAP's business class. And their inflight internet is rubbish - didn't work for most of the flight. (Definitely don't waste your money paying for it.)

i recently flew from los Angeles to hong kong with cathay and none of the flight attendents spoke english. but the hong kong lounge was really good. they had a state of the art 20,000 dollars kohler anthem shower system.

čau, super video, platíš plnou cenu za ten business nebo jak to děláš? Já se snažím nasbírat body na Silver Tier alespoň kvůli free salonku v Abu Dhabi :) nějaký good tipy jak na upgrade do business? Díky

So the menu says what each dish has in it, the dish looked good, you just did not read what was in it. Not bashing you, just something you should have mentioned. 😊

Nice vidéo;

Even the food in coach was great when I flew with them.. Lots of snacks too

Flew on Etihad back in 2011 to India> Absolutely love it. Great airline.

All i care is the seat comfort so i can sleep. The less the crew talks the better

Hi Adam, great video! The business lounge has direct access to the boarding gates right? Just wondering because other vlogs have mentioned that this is the case, but in your video, you went out of the lounge through the main entrance.

I watch these videos for only one reason - to see what the bed is like. I can't sleep anymore in economy seats (age and nerve damage) and since I am a FT traveler I change continents a couple times/year. One can cross the Atlantic on day flights (Dublin/London - New York/Boston), but that doesn't work often on other continent changes. And these seats/beds are not super huge, but the difference to me is HUGE. Am not wealthy and my yearly spending has been ~$50K for the last 4 years of planet wandering, so you know even the best priced biz class seats are a large portion of my yearly spend. I don't do loyalty programs or any points chasing as I prefer to live my life as unscheduled and simply as possible, and I never seem to fly on the same airline or airline group anyway. I have yet to find a lie flat biz class seat that is less than wonderful. Korean Air: Atlanta - Seoul is my best experience yet. I highly recommend you consider biz class seats if you can, in any way, afford it. Yes, $3-4K is way too much for just traveling, but since ships don't ply the seas anymore, this is the only civilized way to move about comfortably.

Prefer the door

Super

Great video, but doesn’t look as good as British airways staff are not as friendly no champagne when boarding, We are flying Tap next week to Miami business class first time, I’m a little disappointed what I’m seeing, I always love BA but great video

My wife and I flew LIS-YYZ last year in business class and it was ok but the big problem as we were making connections in LIS we could not use the lounge there because of the delays with the inbound aircraft both outbound and inbound.

Was the galley behind you or the washroom annoying or loud ?

that little gap when the door slides shut is odd. design flaw? 🚪

When I fly I can only sit on the right side of the plane. I‘ll Neve book a seat on the left side. It‘s strange😅

the tray should NOT be there! btw it's plate by plate - your main dish came AFTER the appetisers!
