Did it today! Loved it! Can not recommend it enough. We didn’t fo scenic plus, but still had the best time.

This is fantastic Patrick!

Yes, you should stop flying. It is destroying Earths eco system, and hastening global warming. I stopoed driving and flying years ago. Why should I suffer because people like you take no action to help the planet we all have to share?

Even worse. They have a hard time to have stewards that speak french, even within Canada. I'm actually very suprised they told you hello-bonjour at 2:08.

Hi there Patrick, another great video. I’m a United loyalist, so fly the airline a lot. I like the PremiumPlus product. It would have been good if you got to experience Polaris, which would have given you access to the United Club at NRT (many people really love that club) and the Polaris Lounge at LAX. It’s a nice cozy lounge. For a twelve months (late 2017 to late 2018), United ran a daily flight from LAX to SIN, I took it many times. It was, at the time, the longest route for the carrier and for a B789. If NRT/LAX started raising concerns about ETOPs and what-ifs, LAX/SIN would have made you positively nervous. The distance was 8,770 miles, which was about 200 miles above the operational limit published by Boeing. The plane was weight restricted, though it carried lots of cargo on the 18 hour trip. It wasn’t uncommon to see many empty seats and standby passengers abandoned in the terminal. Safe travels!

Thanks Patrick, always enjoy your fun facts in your dulcet tones - great review

Was this the green car?

Flew that flight in January 2024. Nice not having to wade through duty free to get to an international flight. Also nice taking half a day to get to NZ rather than a full day if I have to fly via mainland capitals. Now for flights to Christchurch please?

Been on the nozomi and despot it’s incredible speed, it doesn’t feel that fast when you’re on it 🤣

Great video Patrick, I'm going in a couple of months. Any tips on how to access Internet and phone whilst I'm there?

Only for people willing to blow government and corporation money away on 'business' trips.

Wife and I did the scenic plus. I give it a resounding 12/10! Everything was PERFECT. Bucket list trip for sure.

I would love to do that trip ❤ Thank you for sharing your experience and tips.😊

I love the look of Japanese sandwiches, but I must admit that when you said your favourite was egg, all I could think of was "They're egg aren't they, Mrs Doyle?"

Lovely clip Patrick, I do like a hard copy, mainly because I am old & only have a Nokia phone !!. For no reason at all I would have chosen Cherry Blossom Class - It just rings true. Happy Travels

Next, a Gran Class video. Is Gran Class really like First Class on an Asian or Middle-eastern airline. (I mean like, forget European or American airlines as a comparison for service and quality!)

Love Japanese trains. Happy and blessed New Year to you.

Fast !! Go go Pat

I love this place. Super nice staff, tasty food and the portions are huge. Good prices. ❤

John key bought the train company off NZ that's how he made all his money he then sold all the land next to track for the stations. So now it can't run as there's no station land very sad what he did he's a very evil person made millions selling off the railway land set him self up then took control of NZ and ruined it sold everything to china

Simply marvellous!

International flights have always been pretty good with AC. Domestic not so much, and I would always prefer Westjet.

Silky smooth landing..

Hi Patrick i watched your other video of you travelling by train from christchurch to grey mouth and enjoyed that. im glad i decided to watch your journey to queenstown on the bus also. That was 25 minutes plus the other video spent well. thouroughly enjoyed them both. Thankyou for the content.I have subscribed to your channel.

Great video Patrick and awesome meeting you at the food tour downtown last week

hi, i wonder if you still have video, to post a second version raw footage to enjoy echos fireworks ambiance? please? ty in advance

Looks amazing! Hope you enjoyed Vegas! Do you have any major travel plans/destinations for this year(2025)?

I wish you a happy healthy and successful new year 🎉 The fireworks are beautiful

We travelled on Scenic+ TranzAlpine 6 months ago we got fantastic service , went on the Bernina Express 2 months ago and got reasonable service but as good as the TrazAlpine, in fact we bought the return trip a week later and cancelled our rental car, that's how great it was. We are now planning a return trip to New Zealand to ride the comparable train from Auckland to Wellington.

Happy new year, Patrick!

lol I’m flying air canada form Dublin to Toronto to see my brother, usually fly air Transat, was excited as air Transat is horrible, and first thing I see…

Thank you for sharing, it brought back some very happy memories. I travelled around on the Intercity buses for a month,. A great experience, stunning views and met some amazing people.

Went on it a couple of years ago. Wasn't really impressed. Overpriced and overrated.

Hopefull the new XPTs will have will have quite a difference between between 1st Class & Economy. Dont reckon more leg room & more recline is a reason to call it 1st Class. Everything is the same as Economy. Except for those 2 differences.

Thanks for taking time to make this. Lucky you didn’t get scammed from HK Express. I got scammed with not having my middleman on my boarding pass. Their web site doesn’t have a field to fill in middle name.

This is scenic carriage, not sure why they gave you this carriage, I travelled on same for scenic.

However some people like to pay for poor service, that‘s their choices

Loved this video…wherever you are Merry Christmas Mr Intrepid🌟🌲🌟

Many pax bring their snacks. Its no big deal..

First, Welcome to Hong Kong! Secondly, as a Hong Kong resident I agree your comment about HONG KONG EXPRESS. Next time if you flying from Hong Kong again I recommend you to try another budget Airline in Hong Kong and it names call Greater-Bay airlines. Which are the new airline in Hong Kong.Most of the people were surprised of their service as a budget airline

low cost carrier with the high cost parent mentality, that's a sure to fail formular, not the first though 😊

I wont take hke besides cpa

A lot of passengers sneak in their food.

Your flight departs at 9:55am but they have another flight for Osaka departs at 8:55am. So the final call is for the 8:55am flight.

The snacks policy reminds me of the worst of HK. At times it's just plain officious and rude. Other times though it's amazing :)

Terrible policy about food and drink, even though hong kongers would do anything to not buy overpriced water and food but still

Stupid airline
