Join me on this South African journey in Airlink's business class from Johannesburg to Cape Town! I did not have much of an idea of what to expect from Airlink, as they aren't at the top of my radar and I wasn't able to find a lot of information before the flight. Despite going in blind, I was very pleasantly surprised! Be sure to like and subscribe to the channel so you don't miss future video...

Comfort Plus, or an airline's premium economy equivalent, such as United's Economy Plus or American's Main Cabin Extra, is a happy medium between the lower cost of economy and the extra comfort of first class. But how was I feeling after sitting there for seven hours? And is there a big difference between Comfort Plus on the small, cramped CRJ-900 versus the new A321neo? Check out this video to...

    This was an excellent review. I particularly enjoyed the narration. At the beginning you said, "United's Polaris is one of the very best business class products in the United States." You also said that you have never flown in a lie-flat seat before. So how do you know that Polaris is one of the very best business class products in the United States?? I have flown 3.7 million miles on United, and I don't think they are one of the best business class products in the United States. These meals look horrible by international business class standards, and I was a little surprised to hear your overly effusive remarks about them. How do they justify serving the main meal on a single tray on a 14-hour flight? I'm glad you enjoyed this flight, though you seem pretty easy to please. Happy to subscribe to your channel.

    • @FredwardFlies

      Haha yup, I'd consider myself pretty easy to please. My general sentiment was that there really wasn't anything more I could have needed, comfort-wise or food-wise. I certainly understand (from watching plenty of videos of other airlines) that better service exists elsewhere. And I certainly hope to try that one day. But I was very satisfied with this flight. Appreciate the kind words and the subscription!

    You did a great job with this video. The timing, the narration, even the music ... top rate! My only issue is the food. There is no excuse for serving this food all on a single tray on a 14-hour flight. Some people may want to get right to sleep and thus east quickly, but there should be an option for a more elaborate meal service for those who want it (you certainly paid for it). Looking forward to more of your videos.

    • @FredwardFlies
      @FredwardFlies 4 дні тому

      I understand where you're coming from. And for a 16-hour flight there's certainly no rush. There's an element of elegance with a course-by-course meal that's hard to describe. My stance on that, as someone who was just happy to be there, was: If the worst thing about the meal was that it came too quickly, you did alright" Really appreciate the kind words and thanks for watching!

    Well done, video and I am happy you enjoyed the long trip. But I cannot agree with your conclusion that Polaris is state-of-the-art. It is really not, not even by US standards. And I am also willingfully excluding any product from the Middle Eastern bling bling glitzi glitzi airlines.

    • @FredwardFlies
      @FredwardFlies Місяць тому

      Thanks for the comment! As I have never flown any premium product at all over more than a few hours, everything about this was so cool to me so I didn't have a ton to compare it with. I certainly didn't feel like I needed more after this flight. But I know some products out there absolutely blow away the passenger experience and I can't wait to try some.

    I always flying on the 767-400ER for a many times. When I was young. My first flight was on the 767-400ER. The registration number is N830MH. I’ve done it a lot of times. I miss the old days. Sadly, they went on an international flights now. No more domestic flights and especially for Hawaii flights, as well as SJU and Florida flights.
