Air Canada HELL | DOWNGRADED | Economy | YVR - YYZ | REVIEW

    When booking your flight, make sure that you have them add the code "NDIS" to your reservation. This may help you not get downgraded in future.

I do, especially since I am older like booking Business Class especially for the extra room and comfort. Have flown with Aer Lingus many times and have always had great cabin crew, meals and flights. I just subscribed to your channel and do hope you will have posted more.🍀🍀✈️✨

    "Only very select people get access"... hmmm anyone who pays for it! "Great selection of food".. it's basically some bread rolls and bread... this exclusive package costs quite a bit more and your only allowed to eat/drink stuff in that area... on a week long stay it can add as much as 50% to the cost of your booking... just cheap marketing tool to make more money.

    I found this very interesting, particularly as I used to fly with VA to LHR-JFK-LHR regularly in PE. I loved the flight & always had great service, especially the catering. So, I have to agree that your main service was definitely sub-standard, appalling, actually. The trays were always beautifully presented & the food was good. The Tea, simply outstanding. I also always visited the No 1 Lounge, my treat to myself, starting my travels in a very civilised way, toasting myself with a glass or two of bubbly before boarding. I haven't travelled since Covid & hoping to fly again this Summer. It will be interesting to see the changes at LHR, the No 1 Lounge & on board the Virgin flight. I think there will be noticeable cutbacks unfortunately. Thanks for your great video 😊

  • @juanchoja
    @juanchoja Рік тому

    I don't know what's the target audience for this video, Ireland or outside of Ireland? If this is a review for Irish residents, then this card is great value if you use it for its perks and not to get into debt, then it's the best Ireland has to offer, its APR is the highest at 26.60%. This is not a credit card to pay interest, but to pay your groceries, leisure, transport costs, subscriptions, etc, and pay it back in full every month so you don't have to pay interest until you hit the €5000 yearly mark to qualify for the free tickets, but on its own, the travel insurance that they offer is better value than if you are to take travel insurance for a whole family, even for two people. Just on that alone is worth it, because a worldwide family travel insurance costs much more than €80 per year. To take this card, you must be already using travel insurance and want a better deal, otherwise, it makes no sense for you, the rest are extras (the 2 lounge passes, the 2 air tickets). So for the US market, it's a so-so card, but for the Irish market which is the market this card is catered for is a great card for a niché audience and a challenge you to come up with a better Irish credit card for travellers.

    Thank you for this. I absolutely loved it and it has really helped me. I will be flying business class for first time too this year to visit my Son and Grandchildren in San Francisco. I’m 65 now and can no longer travel long haul with my legs down as I’m at very high risk of DVT. Saving for Business Class has been a challenge and Aer Lingus was the only airline I could afford and was so worried it might not be a good choice. You’ve put all my fears aside. Thanks again and good luck to you x

    What I appreciated most, was the excitement you had, and that you paid for it yourself. So many of the travel vloggers say….and it just cost me “X” amount of points. Yea great, but a lot of us don’t have unlimited points in our accounts. Also, I rarely find that I can book the flights for that “little amount of points/miles”.

    Come on man! I've lived in Tenerife almost a year and restaurants that aren't a quality Seafood restaurant are 99% trash. Local, off the beaten path places serving authentic Island food are the only saving grace. Grew up in KC, which is the best BBQ in the world. Those mushrooms were CAP. I liked how you stopped filming after your first bite of steak. If it was good you would have kept on. No fault to you though. I enjoyed your video, especially from a fellow American.

    I wonder if the fact you were refused entry to the first lounge you tried to gain entry to clouded your review? It generally comes across as very negative and condescending. It is 24.08 long and at 13.13 you are on camera basically whining, moaning and being negative for the rest of the review. I have never watched any of your videos before and I looked at this one as I was considering using AC on an upcoming trip but I am sorry to say it was not helpful at all.
