TRIP REPORT | TGV Duplex First Class
Shot on 15 September 2024, TGV inOui 6175 and TER. 86065
Welcome back to another trip report and my first on the rails! Earlier this year while visiting France my friend and I needed to get from Paris to Monaco and decided to make an adventure out of it. Traveling by train allowed us to see the country in a unique way while still remaining efficient and getting us to our destination in at timely manner.
The TGV Duplex was fairly bare bones but still very comfortable and spacious as the video mentions. I was a bit surprised to find out that complementary meals were not included with a first class ticket. That said, the dining car options were plentiful and did the trick. The other observation that didn't make it into the video, was the lack of suitcase storage. For a train that gets deployed on medium to longer distance trips within France and her surrounding neighbors I would expect more space for luggage storage. We ended up having to move our suitcases around several times to help accommodate passengers that were hopping on or off at the intermediate stops.
All of that aside, it really is fun to travel by train in Europe. The speed, efficiency, and reach are really fun to experience, plus the weather really worked out to make this a great day of travel! Thanks for coming along with me on another adventure and ENJOY!

Shot on 11 September 2024 Air Tahiti Nui flight 8. Back in September to kick off my trip to France, I chose to get there on a very unique airline, Air Tahiti Nui, an airline I never thought I'd ever have a chance to fly on. For a long time I've thought that Air Tahiti Nui has the most beautiful livery in the world which prompted me to want to fly with them. The hard and soft products didn't dis...

This time I chose to fly in and out of the small town of West Yellowstone. This has to be by far the smallest and most unique airport I've ever flown from. There was only one "gate" and the terminal was seemed like it was strai...

Not to bad at all for a shorter flight like this in my opinion. Th...

Back in December, to get back home to celebrate Christmas with family and friends, I chose to connect through Houston in order to check this rare plane off my list.

VERY NICE VIDEO 🥰🥰👋👋👋👍👍👍👌👌👌
Great video! It’s a shame they don’t provide at seat food service in first class like on the Eurostar for example.
Thanks! It really is. I'm not sure if it's because it was a domestic service and not international or if it's a standard TGV practice.
Is that your gf next to you. Should have her shave next time you go to the beach.
Amazing to me how routine this has become.
So glad to hear! Its hard to get on a United 767 domestically, especially the -400. It's nice to see that UA has made this route a daily occurrence!
First
This is such a cool perspective!
Wow that pilot really mashed it into the ground
He left us no doubts about when we touched down haha
11:03 dude is lookin kinda fine in the IFE screen reflection 😳🫣🤤
Thank you! I Always try to look my best on travel days, especially when shooting a video!
Perfect landing! And what a breakfast!
It was a very smooth landing! I really enjoyed the breakfast. Best I've had on a domestic first class flight!
Seattle is well known for rain rain rain rain and fog and fog 😂😂😂and near Seattle in Everett is Boeing factory!
I have flown on Alaska Airlines many times between and those engines sound are music to my ears and Alaska Airlines is for their milk run flight from Seattle to various islands in Alaska
You can't beat the sound of the engines from up front! I've seen videos about the Alaska milk run flights. What a cool service! I thought it was very fitting that it was a rainy day in Seattle. Very on brand weather for the Pacific Northwest.

I appreciate it! I hope you'll come back to see more of my adventures in the future!
Great report!! I am looking forward to seeing more..
I should have some interesting ones coming up!
AMAZING sounds. great video
Thank you! Glad you liked the video!

You just earned a sub! 🤩

Nice flight report!

This isn't polaris....
It's the full on older Polaris seats, but unfortunately only United First level of service.

Ugh not a private seat . I put an extra 2 hours on my connection to avoid it .
Honestly, on a daytime flight of this length that didn't really bother me. The 757 is one of my favorite airliners so to fly on it in a premium cabin, well worth it for me.
Great video... Looks like a fun airport to fly into especially on the 757
It is a very cool airport to fly into! Doing in on a 757 was just the cherry on top!
I love those GE-90's on the 77w
Me too! The music they make as they spool up has to be one of the most powerful sounds in the world!
Got my chance to ride a 717 last month finally, short hop from Detroit to Chicago. Loved every minute, though. The whine as it throttles up for takeoff is like music to the ears. Definitely not something you get with a 737 or A320
Right on! I couldn't agree more. Its has so much character and you can beat sitting right next to the engines as they spool up for takeoff!
This video is excellent and captures the essence of flying in the cold winter better than any I've seen
Thank you! It's pretty crazy flying into Jackson during the winter. Glad you liked it!
03:02 That building in the background is a Federal prison.
Oh, no way. What a place to have a prison lol
Google Earth it. I live on Oahu and didn't realize this till a decade or so ago. The exterior of the building is lit up at night as a Vegas strip casino. @@NickWmadevids
Excellent video. Is this a GoPro and what is the mount you use? Thanks!
Thanks you! Yes, I used a GoPro for a lot of this video. I just use the standard suction cup mount for out of the window shots
nice trip report! felt like I went along the trip as well!
Thanks! My goal is exactly that, to make you feel like you were on the trip too so glad you felt like you were there!
4:22 737 Max?
Yep
I love her
Me too! She's a classic!
I loved big island is fun
It is! I was surprised at the wide variety of landscapes that were there. From high mountain desert to the rainforest! I was a lot of fun to explore there!
Great Report!
Thank you, I'm glad you like it!
Great engine view! Love the green water :)
Row 9 is definitely the place to be on United's -300ERs! The approach over the water was so beautiful!
Can’t be considered Polaris due to route. It’s just United business/first
This is true. While the soft product isn’t Polaris on this route, the hard product is the older style Polaris seats
Very, very good trip report. Nice editing, not too much or too little. Great transitions and information. Well done sir 👏🏽
Thank you! It's good to hear that you thought it was edited well. That's one of the things I've been trying to get better at so its good to hear its paying off!
Good review for your first time. I hope you will provide many more. Thank you
Thanks, I'm glad you liked it! I have posted a few more trip reports on the channel so I hope you'll like those too!
Great clip! Man, Colorado needs some rain!
Thanks! Agreed! It was pretty brown on the approach into Denver.
Bad and raciest airlines
That is an old Continental 757 you were flying on. I've worked on the 757 for 23 years here in MCO. We installed the seats and entertainment system here. Thank you for flying on United!
You're welcome! United is my preferred carrier in the US. I have to say the seats have aged quite well. Their still very comfortable and and one of the best seats on a narrow body. I'd totally fly the 757 up front again! Thanks for checking out the video!
How was the food?? Was it menu based or what? What were the options?? Also sundae service or not?? I'm flying on this IAD to SEA in February on 757-200 so I wanna know what to expect for food and stuff!! Also would I get polaris lounge access or any lounge/united club access in IAD since this is technically a polaris flight but its domestic? Any help or info would be much appreciated!
I believe for a domestic flight United markets these seats as “United First” rather than Polaris and United does not offer lounge access for domestic flights even to those with United First tickets
Yes, thejman is correct about the lounge access. I was trying to access the lounge with my credit card but as you saw, it was closed. As for the food, it really was tasty! Once we hit cruising altitude, the flight attendants came around and gave you two options for breakfast, unfortunately I don't remember what the other choice was. This flight took place one of the first days after the mask mandate for flights was dropped so the meal service was still the COVID version of things. I've heard all is back to normal now in terms of the food service so things might be handled differently on your flight. I'd be curious to hear how it goes for you. I'm traveling later this month as well in "United First" so it will be interesting to see what's changed. Thanks for checking out the video and have a great flight!
This is not even a Polaris equipped plane 😂. The only Polaris service in the domestic market is SFO-EWR or LAX-EWR. You may see Polaris equipped planes fly on other hub to hub routes sometimes but they are marketed as First and not Polaris Business seats.
@@thejman071 Unless you're on the transcons between EWR and SFO/LAX. In general no US carrier offers lounge access on a F or J ticket unless is between NYC and SFO other than Alaska.
That long walkway from the train to the terminal is brutal It’s always faster and easier to hop on the moon buggie instead of the train.
Are those the golf cart escort things?
@@NickWmadevids name is Norman
miss these flights - getting a lie flat on a domestic is the best
It absolutely is! It’s always a treat
Yeaahhh! STL baby!!!!
