Thanks for the comment! I have never flown on Qatar or Emirates, but from what I see, I think it's difficult to compare them with the European ones. In Europe service has been going down, steadily unfortunately. Iberia's food is great though, among the best in Europe.

Yeah, miss the times when airlines were a national thing, especially the old livery of Iberia, it was nothing like a 13 hour flight from Madrid to South America without personal screen at the seats :D That they use these big planes for cargo, positioning or maintenance makes a lot of sense. I often see British Airways, Aer Lingus etc at la Muñoza.. This flight here was far from full, at least in economy.

Thank you so much for your encouraging words!

The AF lounge is fantastic!

Thank you for the comment! I totally agree, it feels so special! Did you know that SAS will be using its A330 between OSL-CPH and CPH-ARN in the end of november?

@@welcomeaboardHD I Did Not Know That

Je ne savais pas ca.. mais les vols que j’fait fait avec eux les dernieres annees c’est bien passé .

Thank you for clarifying that, makes a lot of sense!

Yes, Iberia uses A330 and A350 twice per day on this route.. so of course much better than the standard A320 etc :)

@@welcomeaboardHD I was more so referring to the overall service as opposed to the aircraft itself. Many times the I've encountered dirty cabins, rude staff, the amenity kit is one of the poorest on offer in the industry. Food on the long-hauls is very scarce.

Thank you so much! ✈️✈️✈️

I agree with you! But have not been in Lufthansa’s lounge yet :) But really love Iberia’s lounges! 🇪🇸🇪🇸

Galleries lounges 9all 5 of them) are imo WAY better than what Iberia have to offer

Thank you so much for your nice words ❤️ More Iberia trip reports coming soon!

Thank you so much! ✈️✈️

The Atacama dessert goes from Peru to Chile :)

@@welcomeaboardHD No. Hay desiertos peruanos colindantes al desierto chileno de Atacama pero separado por varios valles costeños. Además Lima está a más de 1000 km de la frontera con Chile. Fuera de eso es muy buen video. Saludos.

100% de acuerdo contigo.. en general me encanta LATAM y en la ruta LIM-MIA operan el icónico 767 😁 En todo caso AA no está nada mal para un viaje así. Modelos más pequeños como el A321 es el futuro en rutas de menos demanda. En Europa compañías como TAP e Iberia lo usarán en rutas de hasta 8-9 horas 😅 Pero con asiento cama en business y pantallas en los asientos en economy..

@@welcomeaboardHD que tenga tv en todos sería bacán, antes AA utilizaban dreamliner en Lima a Miami, nose porque los quitaron.... Pero bueno....

Lo habrán quitado por falta de demanda quizás.. Hoy en día las aerolíneas cortan mucho en los servicios para ahorrar dinero..

This is manual on all airbus airplanes. During takeoff the throttle is set on toga, as the plane needs more engine power. When in the air, at a certain point the pilot doesn’t need the same power and reduces the throttle to CL or climb mode, this probably saves fuel :)

Same

Nope 787

@@antonvisagie5633 thanks

Well best of luck if you are flying through LHR, such a chaotic airport, especially when you have to switch terminals.. I found the service good, but yes - they should offer some tea. Although free water and crackers is still something :) I just flew them in business, really impressive product :)

@@welcomeaboardHD changing terminals (other than T3 to T2 which are connected) can be a hassle, it's true.

Hola :) American Airlines lo comercializa con 6 horas y 5 minutos. Dependiendo de la ruta, los vientos etc, el tiempo de vuelo se puede reducir significativamente.

Wow, you’ve been around! 😁 I had a wonderful flight in economy, and really want to try out AA’s business product. Any aircraft/route you would recommend?

@@welcomeaboardHD The 787 Dreamliner is awesome, but the 777 is also great. I've done US to Europe and to Asia on these models.

Great, I will keep that in mind, looking forward to the business experience!

It probably looked more crazy than it was, these airplanes are great in adverse conditions. But very cool to watch!

You really feel "as one with the weather"! Wow, the Fokker friendship.. that's a long time ago.. I only got the pleasure of flying the Fokker 50, still really cool though :)

@@welcomeaboardHD It was the first time I ever flew. I was 10 years old and it was one of those old "mystery flights" where you'd pay some ridiculously low fare simply for the fun of flying and having no clue whatsoever where you would end up. So Mum took me. These days of course they would fill the excess seats with people who actually have a need to get to the (obviously known) destination. Our particular "mystery flight", however, was from Kingsford Smith to Coffs Harbour and back (including the same snacks as the passengers who paid way more). I was already a bit of an aviation nut even as a 10 year old and now 50 years later the passion remains as strong as ever. Later that same year I got to fly in a DC3. That was from Bankstown and toured greater Sydney on a scenic flight. I was very lucky to be born in an era where what we now call classics were still in regular use albeit obviously headed towards being superseded - if not totally superseded - by then.

Gracias! Amo el trayecto Madrid-Lima, el cruce de los andes te quita el aliento 😍 Y todavía más la aproximación a la ciudad de los reyes! Pronto subiré un vídeo de un vuelo que hice este verano, la aproximación por los Andes durante el atardecer es increíble!

MIA is great for spotting ✈️✈️

No, just travelled with hand luggage, which was free. No one checked the weight of this. Also with the lowest fare we got to choose Seat for free after purchasing the tickets. The lowest fare of Delta does not even allow you to pay for the seat, until 7 days before the flight, which does not guarantee a family to sit together. The flight overall was very good. Food could be a bit more/better, but service was good, the airplane was super modern and we had on-time arrival. All in all recommendable!

Yes it was a decent flight, stuff can always be better, but would not hesitate to fly AA again. But be aware, you are not allowed to bring water purchased at the airport into the plane when flying to the US

Hola 😊 Si, así es.. el bolso de mano sería un bolso o una mochila que cabe debajo del asiento. Equipaje de mano es una pieza que no cabe debajo del asiento, y por lo tanto se guarda en el compartimento superior ✈️

Si, fue algo movido, como suele pasar muchas veces en Madrid! Tienes toda la razón, en muchos aspectos es muy parecido a la competencia. La business europea, lamentablemente deja mucho que desear. Sin embargo otras aerolíneas, como Iberia, Air France, Swiss y hasta Air Europa ofrece comida de un estándar muy alto, digno a una clase business. Las cajitas de KLM dan vergüenza 😂 Y si, la inconsistencia me hace pensar…

@@welcomeaboardHD Yo la verdad es que de las Business Class que he probado en vuelos europeos la única que me parece que vale la pena es la de Iberia, hay 2 opciones a elegir de plato principal, catering de DoYCo, que para mi es lo mejor que hay, la sala de la T4 está muy lograda y sabes que en general vas a recibir un servicio de notable. El mes que viene pruebo la Business de Finnair en el 350, que dicen que es de lo mejor que hay ahora mismo en aerolíneas europeas, a ver qué tal va la cosa!!

Iberia es mi favorita en Europa.. La que para mi ofrece el producto más completo, desde que llegues al aeropuerto hasta tu destino final.. Y la comida, como dices, muy muy buena, representa muy bien la cocina española! Pa’ chuparse los dedos! He oído muchas cosas buenas del a350 de Finnair, cuéntame qué tal te fue el vuelo! Así igual lo pruebo yo tmb!

Yes, the typical summer cold 😅

Me equivoqué… era de Velazquez 😅

Gracias por tu comentario! Sé que Iberia tiene cierta reputación, que viene de lejos. Sin embargo he tenido muy buenas experiencias en sus vuelos a Lima.. Pero me esperaba un trato aún mejor en esta ruta, ya que hay más competencia saliendo desde EEUU.. Pero en esta ocasión falló todo.. la comida, el trato (que prácticamente fue inexistente) etc.

Thank you so much! ✈️✈️✈️

Thank you so much, that’s fantastic to hear!

Iberia BC catering is really good departing Madrid, but not on the return flights.. You are right about KLM. Unfortunately it seems that its a standard in the industry, prices go up and quality does down :/ I would belieber that Air France still has decent catering, also on the return flights from the US..

@@welcomeaboardHD yes, I agree with that!

Normally Iberia catering in business is oustanding. Second to none. Prepared by DO&CO surpasses entirely most airlines in the world. It’s aimed to please passengers who appreciate Spanish food. Other thing it’s your taste. Skytrax has awarded Iberia as the 14th best airline in the world. They have some issues with other aspects in the daily operations, but catering in business is not one of them.

Estoy totalmente de acuerdo contigo! Sin embargo do co solo hace el catering en las salidas desde Madrid (y está a un nivel altísimo). En los vuelos de regreso, siendo desde EEUU o América Latina, Iberia tiene que usar otros proveedores de catering, y ahí la calidad obviamente no es la misma

​@@FranciscoCaminoon par with Etihad, Emirates, Qatar, Turkish Airlines, Singapore airlines, JAL, ANA, in catering???
