Hey Alex, Matthew here from South Africa, thanks very much for this video. I remember you said you were going to do a Kulula review when you did BA (Comair), so I've been looking out for this one. It was a sad and quite shocking day for SA aviation when Comair closed its doors. I remember flying business class for the first time with BA Comair on a domestic flight and the day Kulula launched as our first ever LCC 😔 but it has made great space for some of our other great airlines like Cemair, FlySafair, Airlink and our newest, Lift. So a silver lining there. I'm sorry to hear everyone feels so scared visiting SA, but it is sadly true. My wife and I live in George, a town of about 150 000 population and we've been victims of crime probably over 30 times. But I really appreciate that people still support our tourism and economy by visiting. Thanks again for the great videos!! Matt
Thanks a zillion for this fantastic video, I really appreciate your love and kindness towards the crew,it's quite unfortunate that the airline had to rest, it brought back memories of how air nigeria was suspended in 2012, it was on our return trip out of London back to Nigeria, that our passengers told us onboard that our chairman announced on national television that particular flight was the last. Thanks for your lovely narative
This is so nostalgic, hearing my former colleague Kelly making the demo announcement and Cindy as the cabin controller. Thank you for posting this and allowing us to reminisce. Your videos are always onpoint and informative. I look forward to seeing whats next🙂
Hey Adeeb, I thought of you when publishing this, I remembered! Thanks for the comment and I hope that you’re back to flying by now or hopefully soon. Crazy how the industry is exploding and still some airlines shut.. I don’t get it!🤷🏻♂️
¡Videazo! Cada imagen, cada toma espectacular, muy vivo. Esta muy bonito ese 737, el tapete me gustó, diferente. El paquete de Simba para tu hijo! 🦁 un abrazo Alejo!
In spring 2015(for me as dutchman the fall), I flying from JNB to CPT with this airliner during my vacation in South Africa . It was a good flight and the crew was perfect! By the way I live in the Netherlands!😀✈👍
I am very glad you had a nice flight with them! South Africa is just stunning and back in 2015 this airline was even better! Bedankt voor het kijken, de groeten uit Dubai!
Awesome Alex. Good to put this lovely fun airline on the radar! Sadly gone. Flying myself to Cape Town next week on Emirates from NZ. As you know it was my last flight as captain on KLM when I retired. Very much looking forward to it with a compulsory visit to Stellenbosch! Tot siens!!
Hey Flip! I remember it was your last flight, such a great choice! What a great trip is ahead of you, specially from NZ! I hope you get a newer B777-300ER to Cape Town as it seems Emirates sends the “more experienced” ones there. But the selection of wines are ever so amazing. Enjoy! Tot ziens!
The only real bad thing about your videos is that they are always too short for my liking 🤣They're such a good entertainment, packed with interesting information and full of your subtle and funny joke and...all of a sudden, you're already saying goodbye. Anyway, please rest assured that we all appreciate every one of your videos. I can only imagine the time and effort you dedicate to shooting, editing and subtitling them. Thank you so very much for sharing these wonderful experiences of yours with us...and, please, keep them coming! 🙏
Long ones take me so long to edit😵💫 “short ones” like this one take a good 3 days. So much work! I have a 13 hour flight recorded on EK in Business and don’t even know where to start! Thanks so much for the nice words, I really appreciate then. More good stuff coming soon!
So beautiful to wake up n see your amazing video.Totally love the views hope you wree good in wine heaven haha.Beautiful party n great kisser in the end Very informative so love your beautiful n great mind thank you
@@TheLayoverAviation other than the politics and nonsensical government ,it’s like your living in the garden of Eden,with all the nature.where you staying at the moment
Kulula was the most "fun" airline ever, so vibrant and happy.. Do you know who will take over their(and BA's) fleet? Seems FlySafair and airlink are the major domestic airlines to date
Safair took over most of the airports. No idea who will take the planes, I guess that the -400’s are sadly heading for the coke can factory but the -800’s are quite new so I’m sure they’ll find a new home. So far I can’t see any adoptions!
Hey Alex,awesome video! 😄 I think you should hire a bodyguard, beacuse Mr.Stalker from Dubai passed the line 😂 Enjoyed the video and i will miss the Kuala
I came back from Bangladesh yesterday and guess who was staring at me from the gate next doors! Thanks Maurice for visiting! And I’ll defend myself, used to be pro in self defense not too long ago😎
As always a very good video sad the airline gone down under - I had attended an interesting webinar recently hosted by Simple Flying Jonna Bailey with Johathan Ayache CEO of of Lift ex Uber along with Gideon Novick former Kulula . Lift began operating the busy Cape town Johannesburg route at a time when Comair and South African Airways had issues . Operating with 3 Airbus 320 a hybrid model full service airline which include luggage prebooking seat food selection throw in silent disco tambola on flight as entertainment . Has plans to extend its network overseas across Africa
Sorry for the late reply Saud, but you always deserve my time and attention so I wait until I can sit down and properly answer😛 Super interesting info, the kind I love, thanks for sharing! I expected Lift to be some ultra low cost. But now thanks to your story I’ll definitely try them. Let’s see if they extend the network but something tells me that South African will somehow come back. A lot of people make money from that business..!
Didn't you say you are going to do a 14 hour flight to Chicago on Eithad Airways business class and Emirates Premium Economy class from London to Dubai by any chance? Btw, Skytrak awards is all full of scamtrack. lol.
Yes I mentioned that, but I don’t publish the same airline twice after each other. I mix and match video’s. Have a huge backlog, even some from Feb this year.. So those will eventually come! Next is some funky adventure to Bangladesh.. For now.
Here is the New EK Company Slogans that I made up for Emirates airline in the form of action/sci-fi movie. It should be far better than just the usual stupid hello tomorrow = Too cheesy and weak.
