This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Today is Friday Sir 😂
LOVE the shots of the tail designs of Frontier, never seen it before but how utterly charming! Thank you for this short and sweet review, you always make it entertaining whatever the content and that’s no small feat 🙏🏼
Typically comprehensive, Kevin. Liked the reward-flight-strategising and luggage-contingency-planning action. Pity the cloud precluded some shots of the lake.
You deserve a million subs for the outstanding content, and you will get them before too long. Best wishes.
Friday video? Wow!
I understand that you’re excited about your one-off (two?) experience with Air Canada / Jazz, but a frequent flier is probably laughing. AC is one of the worst service providers in North America, considering the exorbitant ticket prices they demand.
I m used to love flying Air Canada, not so much now. It was lovely, economy was lovely, hot towels, real cutlery and china, large, flavorful meals. Not anymore. Economy feels like you are in a holding bin. They also charge for crummy food in economy.
Toronto airport has become a nightmare, lost luggage, long lines. I navigate it easier than most as I need a wheelchair. The only joy is people watching.
Cheers Kevin due to watching your video on the Four Seasons Bangkok me and my dad will be there in December,,,,peace and happiness on your travels
The solo seats on the CRJs and E175s are super nice. Thanks for the info + video!
Where did you get the information about which planes had which configuration? That is an impressive amount of research!
Kevin there would have been multiple Philadelphia to Toronto flights this was the days when US Airways🇺🇲 was in Star Alliance with Air Canada🇨🇦 which means you would have gotten the larger E-190/E-175s. If you want a proof of that you need a 2010 Hemispheres Magazine or an Enroute Magazine pre US Airways switch to Oneworld Alliance.
The other way to get into a United Club is getting a non-us based Star Alliance gold that way you are allowed to access it both International and domestic. Example of it is getting the Air Canada Aeroplan🇨🇦 ANA Mileage Club🇯🇵 Austrian🇦🇹 Lufthansa🇩🇪 Miles and More Thai Airways Royal Orchid Plus🇹🇭 Asiana Diamond🇰🇷Air China Shenzhen Airlines Phoenix Miles 🇨🇳 Eva Air Infintymileage 🇹🇼and lastly Singapore Airlines Krisflyer🇸🇬 Star Alliance gold tiers.
Tbh that looks way better then Euro Biz Class in a A320 😂
Nice short hop to my hometown, looking forward to you review of AC biz class to London. It may decide if I choose to bid on an upgrade from Premium Economy for my flight to Madrid.
Thanks for sharing 😊🎉
My home airport PHL
I wouldn't mind trying AC's a220 and porter's e2. I've been in the United club at DFW. It's small as well but looks nicer than the one in PHL and a good place to spend a couple hours.
Great report, as always. I never flew a CRJ, I’m really curious (and I honestly would choose a seat far in the back for the noise😂)
Excited for the next flight report. Last November I had a really great experience in Air Canada’s signature class, GRU-EZE, 787-9.
Thanks for sharing another awesome report, Kevin!
Food looks very nice!
You should review royal air maroc 787-9 business class!
OMG PHL AIRPORT… THANK GOD Kevin you do not have to connect there and ride the bus…, great work as always. Praying that you will head back to the Far East soon for your own sanity 🙂
I really do enjoy your videos. Always well presented and clear to understand.
Thank You✈️
Had to look at what day it is. Surprised you released a new video on a Friday but I'm not complaining though. It just threw me off a little. Thanks for the video review as always.
You don't see small regional jets around asia that often. It's usually just the standard 737 a320 if not turboprops
Emirates business 👀
Is it the controversial 2-3-2 config 777?
Really like the music you’ve used. iPhones must also be really good now to make YouTube videos with.
Pls try air india's a350 pls BTW love the vid
Hello, we have flown CRJ several times, but for us it is a flight from our city of Poznań in Poland to Frankfurt am Main to then fly to Cancun, the flight with this plane is ok for this route, i.e. about an hour, maybe it would be nice if Lufthnsa had a better service on short European routes. As for Cancun, we stayed at the Secrets the Vine hotel twice and I must admit that each time it was a very successful stay, I would love to see your review of this hotel, do you plan to visit it.
whats your next one？I have a same route on AA erj145 with my son😊
Thank you Kevin. You know I love your review however i’d like to have some views. ❤ my comments to your review are: 1. your vdo speed during take off and landing a little too fast for me who are enjoying watching those details. 2. Colors of your vdo is a little fresh. 😊
Usual comment to help you in the algo 🤠 Get out your protractor for the takeoff angle!
What editing software do you use? Your stuff always looks great by the way.
How did you book such a complex itenerary?
Stopped watching – hate speeded up film. Not original, not amusing – just silly.
Very nice review! Just wondering, how did you find which fin had which layout? I have had a hard time finding which A330 still have the old config, I know its just a few, I found a flyertalk forum before but can't get clarity which has the new cabin now. We are on a PE flight on one in April.
Other question, is any stat alliance business class ticket get you into the United Club? Thought the big 3 had weird loungs rules. Thanks for another amazing review!
I flew that same route last year on American 🦅. We went out of Terminal F (the regional terminal) which has special low-level jetways so that you don’t need to board outdoors.
I have loads of CRJ footage on my channel. They are sleek as you say in your video.
Not sure if you mentioned it before, but I had no idea you film with an iPhone. Your videos are so high quality I would have never thought that! Very cool!
