After watching you sitting next to the window I had to get on Asiana Airline's website and make sure I had the aisle seat in all of my upcoming flights from Seattle to Bangkok, haha. Don't want to get stuck next to the window, especially if it's three seats! Awesome you got the hotel for free AND a free dinner. That's one heck of a long haul day! And so funny about the baby, lol. Thanks for sharing a cool opportunity for all of us if we ever are flying through Istanbul! Oh yeah, wow what an airport!!!

@grrrltraveler 4 года назад

I love Asiana! But I don’t like windows on long haul flights I don’t think asiana has these Boeing 777-300er but I can be wrong; it seems it’s specific to horrendously cramped seating.

@JayDollarhide 4 года назад

@@grrrltraveler I did find Asiana's space to be excellent on my flight home from BKK the last time. Yep, I see they fly a lot of Airbus, and a few of the 777-200er planes along with some Boeing 767's. Looks like I am flying over on an Airbus A350 and A330 and then coming back on an A330 and a Boeing 777-200er.

@braderckert3485 4 года назад

Always enjoy the videos but that’s gotta be the first time I ever heard the phrase mouth banging in a food review, LOL. I’m using that the next time I go out with friends. Curious, have you thought about trying the three longest flights when they start up regular service, NY to Sydney, London to Sydney and NY to Singapore? All 17 to 20 hours non-stop. I saw a review on NY to Singapore where there are 4 seats in economy, back of the plane where’s it’s like first class because there’s no seats next to you.

@grrrltraveler 4 года назад

@marshallrichmond4909 4 года назад

How did you end up in a window seat on a LONG haul? Great expression at 11:42. It reminded me of my first ANA flight. Got the meal and asked the flight attendant 'what is this?' as I pointed to some round things. She looked and said (and I quote): 'Some kind of fish'. So I put that to the side and ate the rest. I found out later that it might have been scallops. Its like the line from Sean Connery in an airplane in HIGHLANDER; 'I do not eat anything that I cannot easily discern. Great videos, thanks for keeping us informed and entertained.

Those were never used, but I gave them to my baby nieces in Panama. The flight attendant was very gracious when I requested a couple of the childrens activity packets (even I though I don't have kids), and I explained they're for the little relatives (typical Hispanic family issues) at home. I also flew Qatar to get to the UK for a week which was the service was amazing. Then it was Avianca back to Panama via Colombia.

@cornsoup1393 4 года назад

the employee benefits charge is wild, especially that they're declaring it--i guess theyre trying to guilt you into being okay with paying someone else's benefits. 😬 My longest travel day was probably 26 hours? maybe longer with the time to get to airports and on trains! LGA to SFO to ICN, then trains and subway down to Gwangju.

@grrrltraveler 4 года назад

Are you still in Gwangju? That’s a city I’ve not actually been. Yeah I just researched it- employers have a employee healthcare mandate making it more expensive to run their business so many restaurants shift the costs to customers in an additional surcharge tax. Of course they request a tip but one of 17-20% vs 10-20%. Avoid SFO.
