I enjoy your video sir. I have watched many in flight services review videos by Malaysians but so far yours is the most interesting. Keep doing this great job and who knows you might be Malaysian Sam Chu🎉
Before I watched this video, I read an article about an interview with Aman Group's chairman and CEO, Vlad Doronin. The interviewer asked a very candid question: "How has Aman New York gone, given that there were some doubters when it opened in August 2022 about how your team would translate the typical hideaway experience of an Aman resort into a major city?" Doronin replied, " [Aman] enables guests to be fully immersed in the pace and buzz of the city, yet the moment they step into our doors, they experience utmost sanctuary and peace." The CEO did not elaborate further, but his answer to the interviewer's question prompted me to wonder: How could Aman enable guests to "experience utmost sanctuary and peace" at Fifth Avenue, one of the busiest streets in New York City? With that question in mind, I watched this video. While other viewers might have been mesmerized by the luxurious and breathtakingly appealing interior, I was not so, because my eyes were busy "scrutinizing" the hotel's interior, searching for those often-ignored but critically important details that had enabled Aman's CEO to say that once guests stepped into Aman New York, they would "experience sanctuary and peace". Follow are my observations and analysis. *First, extensive and thoughtful acoustic treatments throughout the interior of Aman New York* . Because I read about it before, I was able to recognize multiple sound-absorbing materials in the hotel's interior design: woods, carpet, furniture with thick cushions. I also noticed the extensive used of glass in the hotel's interior. I cannot tell what kind of glass that is by just watching the video, but if those glass panels were made of fiberglass and/or acoustic glass, those glass panels would also absorb sound instead of reflecting it back to the hotel's interior. To further enhance the sound-absorbing effect, rubber underlayment could also be placed under flooring materials, which they likely did. *Second, ambient lighting that produces dim, soft light* . As shown in the video, the hotel shunned general or task lighting that produces bright, white light. It also blocks natural light. The hotel' lobby and hallways use only one kind of lighting: ambient light. The dim, soft light produced by ambient lighting enhances the hotel interior's aesthetic, creates an inviting atmosphere, defines space, improves guests' mood, and shapes their emotions. *Third, I also noticed that, from staff members to guests, no one raised their voice. Everyone conversed in volume only loud enough to be heard* . The architects who designed Aman New York went to great distance to incorporate the Aman ethos in the design of the hotel. It was because all this hard work and the sometimes dry, dull technical details associated with it that enabled Aman's CEO to make that confident, and unequivocal statement: "[Aman] enables guests to be fully immersed in the pace and buzz of the city, yet the moment they step into our doors, they experience utmost sanctuary and peace." Aman New York, an ultra-luxury hotel that offers guests an immersive, one-of-a- kind experience. Is it worth the money? I will rescue myself from opining on this question, because my wallet will unlikely ever allow me to splurge at any ultra-luxury Aman hotel. Thanks for sharing!
The view for this suite is simply breathtaking. The interior of Aman Tokyo looks not only luxurious, but also infused with Japanese aesthetics. On top of that, the suite is SPACIOUS with an area of 157 squared meters -- three times of the areas of many houses in Tokyo, a highly populated city where many families occupy compact abodes that measure around 50 squared meters only. Is it worth to pay $3,500 USD per night to stay at this Aman Tokyo suite?? I think it depends on how much you value the experience. Aman hotels are always expensive, but many people don't quite understand why it is so expensive. I did some search on the Internet, analyzed the information, and found that Aman stands out among other hotels in the following ways: 1. Aman hotels are known for their breathtaking locations and locally inspired architecture. With Amen Tokyo, the elements of Japanese culture and aesthetics are apparent, offering customers not just a comfortable stay, but also a luxurious experience with the local culture. 2. Aman hotels have exceptionally low guests to staff ratio. At five-star hotels, the guests:staff ratio is 10 to 20: 1, meaning a staff member is responsible for 10 to 20 guests. At hotels with lower staff ranking, the ratio is even higher. The high guests:staff ratio means that staff members might not be able to respond to some guests' inquiries immediately. At Aman, the guests:staff ratio is 6:1 only, implying that it's more likely that guests' demands and inquiries are responded to immediately at Aman. For guests with deep pockets, Aman will offer a unique experience. Thanks for sharing!
Great video. AirAsia offered me this upgrade on the KUL- BKK route. I already had a bulkhead seat, Fastpass for priority immigration, increased carry on allowance, and Zone 1 boarding, so I declined. I ended up with my 4 seat row to myself. With meal, water, and coffee my ticket was $42.
I was researching this route and came across your video. It's great to see a fellow Malaysian sharing this experience. The only two reasons to fly Lufthansa First Class nowadays are the ground service at FRA and the 747. After watching your video, I'm going to book tickets for my parents. The 747 is an icon of their generation, and I want them to experience flying in style one more time before it gets relegated to the scrapyard.
All that money & not even a complimentary grape on offer at room check-in forget a fruit platter or even one chocolate …am actually shocked thety offered absolutely nothing in the room at check-in especially at this price🤔😳😳
I had try AA flatbed last time, back in 2019 if am not mistaken, flight KUL - KIX, and I was quite timid that time because it was my very first alone long flight journey (😂) so I wasnt exploring any of the buttons or anything around me, I just directly go to sleep in that sitting state while hugging my plushie but then when they were waking me up for the breakfast, I already cover with a blanket and the seat were already flatten. No wonder I slept comfortably that night 😂. It was a great services they'd offered, but I'd heard somewhere that AA want to stop D7 flight operational not sure when, this year or next but I feel quite lucky I having a good memories & experiences with the D7 flights 😊
English is my native language and I know people speak English also in Malaysia, but what would be a polite greeting to people as I walk up to a bar or cafe or please.
It's a good seat but they are still stingy with hand luggage which kills any premium vibes. I had to check my 10kg hand luggage encountering long wait afterwards.
That's it. I'm using TTPDTA as a timer on my flights from now on 🤣 it's a shame the Red Lounge isn't operating. I was actually considering to upgrade to Premium Flatbed for my future flight on D7
