I have to say, I'm really impressed that after all the crap you went through that day, you still managed to produce a great video to document this experience. I think I'd be still shaking with nerves and excitement

I was absolutely shaking with nerves and excitement when filming this 😃

@mikerubin290 2 года назад

500 for the flight plus the luftansa ticket plus flying to france... So a bit off with the total cost, but a deal nonetheless.

Hal's wife here and I was So Happy for you enjoying and feasting and dreaming your way through the clouds all the way from one side of the world to another, After that super stressful, to say the least, "trauma" the customer service people put you through! Unbelievable!! They Absolutely Owed you! A huge kudos to you for hanging in there and that sweet agent who helped you deserves a flight just like that, too! Ok, Ima just go back and be all excited about my Priority boarding and Premium Drink on Southwest coming up soon! lol Safe travels to you!

@NissanSkylineVR30 2 года назад

I found this video randomly and watched out of curiosity. Definitely luxurious but I feel the luxury was more of the service rather than the features/seats/etc... of the flight. For 15K, I thought you were going to get your own room and etc... I think on Singapore Airlines, they have a ticket that cost roughly 20K-30K that gives you your own room. I thought this was a smaller version of that for a base 15K price.

@_Ricky 2 года назад

I look forward to reviewing Singapore Suites later this year ☺️

@NissanSkylineVR30 2 года назад

@@_Ricky Dude. I hope you do! I would watch that. I want to see it but can't afford it. Lol.

@KBS_ar 2 года назад

Same feeling. For $15K, I would expect more. The only core benefit is not waiting in eques and have bigger, albeit narrow, space. For $1K, I can have burgers, pizzas, caviars, shrimps, and milk shakes while I invite a woman for a night full of love. ♥️😍 I am amazed of how corporates poorly treat rich people, way less than they deserve! As an ordinary citizen, I can have more benefits out of my money. 🤷‍♂️😂 (I am cautious not to use strong words such as whore/bitch/escort/slut)

@khughes0402 2 года назад

What a stylish and enjoyable presentation...so glad I found your site. I like that you are so comfortable in the first class environment which makes watching the video a pleasure. Your detailed journey through the various meal courses gives those of us watching a great opportunity to assess the level of service you received. In addition...votre accent francais est impressionnant!

@rokan81 2 года назад

Great content and very well edited video. This was one of the best airline review videos I’ve seen thus far. I had to double take when I saw the channel is in its infancy at 2k subs, it was very professional. This will grow to 100+ in no time at all.

@miniteddy5555 2 года назад

To me, cant beat singapore airlines, definitely. The cabin is on another level and this enhances the experience and hospitality unpretentious. You can feel they really enjoy what they do (even though they are tired due to the long haul) hospitality so warm makes you feel at home instantly. Makes the full priced tix extremely worth it!

@miremor7807 2 года назад

How much is the full price ticker

@miniteddy5555 2 года назад

@@miremor7807 r you asking abt singapore or france airlines? For singapore airlines, depending on the destination, and depending on timing, either one way or round trip, it will cost btwn sgd15k up to sgd35k (sgd is singapore dollars). But this is pre-covid prices.not sure abt the current pricing. Just log on the singapore airlines and you can easily find the exact pricing.

@isabellj192 2 года назад

@skqq3250 2 года назад

You were correct at the beginning with your nearly free Air France premiere ticket. I think they wanted to sell the 4 seats at the regular price first and then give you the seat if they are empty or near empty.🙂🤩 Perfect content. Honest and complex. I will subscribe.

@kevinhsu8184 2 года назад

Nice! I had the pleasure to take La Premiere couple months ago. I would say what differentiated La Premiere and Emirates/ Etihad/ Singapore/ Jal/ Cathay F is ground service staff. I had to get Covid pass at airport when I landed in Paris and my dedicated La Premiere ground staff walked me through immigration and through various levels of CDG to a pharmacy to get the pass. None of other premier airlines offer this kind of dedicated service. Sure, I would be able to eventually find the pharmacy with my barely there high school French in the airport but it was nice Air France staff was able to efficiently take me to one.

@greatarabia8091 2 года назад

But cabin-wise there's no comparison. Air France needs to renew their cabins.

@adrienlogel2323 2 года назад

@greatarabia8091 2 года назад

@@adrienlogel2323 Have you seen first class emirates and Qatar? It's absolutely absurd how much luxury they stuffed in there.

@dawsonje 2 года назад

Yeah, i was going to encourage Ricky to find a way to get on Emirates and Qatar F class. Emirates serves Dom Perignon in F and their food is fantastic. And i agree with Kevin.. the European airlines (including Lufthansa F class) do a great job on the ground, leading up to the boarding process… a bit better than the Asian and ME airlines. But the curtains in La Premiere are nothing compared to the sliding doors in F class of Emirates, etc.

@thomas1942 Год назад

I wonder if they provide that service only in France, or if they provide can provide the same hands on service (like the covid test) at other airports around the country.

@mr.hannibal2072 2 года назад

I am so happy for you. I asked myself "where were you" in the first decade of this Millennium while I was jet-setting around Europe. I had a lot of similar experiences dealing with issues here and there, but not nearly as Epic; that includes while in Eastern Europe where one has to bribe their way out of unjust police harassment, bribe themselves into the country and bribe officials just so that you can keep your rightful property. Your data is so articulate and well-placed, you convey lots of information in appropriate parcels. Your level of organization is therapeutic.

@meibing4912 Год назад

Have been lucky to enjoy a number of VIP/VIP flights. The downside to those super-exclusive lounges is that they often are in separate buildings and since you are being driven to the flight door you don't get to visit any terminal shops. They do offer to drive you there - but its a tall ask and you often arrive just before take-off because you can (I did ask once and the airport had someone help me shop while we were driven around in a cart - super service but not my preferred shopping style).
