Any thoughts about the monkey footage? I reckon it's amazing. My arm gets sore holding the camera still to capture the takeoff or slat retraction for 10 minutes.
It takes a very very patient and dedicated person to film wildlife! I vaguely remember watching something years and years ago of a setup in Africa somewhere where the person was basically in this cage/hut thing, fully camouflaged, for hours and hours, in the heat, filming lions I think??? And some days he'd have a couple of minutes worth of footage only. Crazy! But these people can spend months in the wilderness. So hats off to them... especially when you get footage like the monkey jumping into the river!
You know things are getting back to normal when there's Paul Stewart and Bunnik uploading flight reviews! It's been a minute, I can't wait to get back up there soon. Enjoy your trip mate.
Adding that music when you changed into the PJ's was sheer brilliance - your wry sense of humor is one of the things I like most about your videos on top of being plain informative.
Flying DFW-SYD business in three weeks and can't wait! It's been three years since I've been back to Aus to see family, so it's going to be pretty emotional experience stepping on a Qantas plane again
Good to see you back in the air and on a long haul flight Paul - all the best to you on your travels and here's to things truly getting back to normal!
Thanks for the upload. The reason I’ll pay the extra every time for business over economy in long haul is the ability to get a decent sleep. I love waking up and seeing that there’s only 2 maybe 3 hours before landing. Food and service are great but it’s the flat bee that’s my no.1 priority. Couldn’t care less about IFE., always take a good book.
Flew the reverse Fort Worth to Sydney a few years ago. Was so relieved to get on a QANTAS flight after using atrocious domestic US airlines and going home.
Nice video. I chose to fly on Qantas on my way to Australia and back in order to watch my wife compete on one of the U.S. teams at the 2000 Sydney Olympic Games. It was a class act all the way especially when I checked in for my flight back to the U.S. when the nice lady at check-in didn't charge me anything for the excess baggage I had after my wife loaded me up with all of her dirty laundry since I had to fly back before she did. All I had to do was to mention that I was there to watch my wife compete.
Nice to see you could get a seat because after six weeks of waiting hours for the phone to be answered on numerous calls to customer service and being told it would be fixed but wasn't and the promised callbacks not coming either we still do not have tickets or conformation for our flights to LAX in two weeks time using our Qantas pass. Here is a good one, the customer service operator in FIJI says her changes that will fix it will be sent to the ticketing office in NEW ZEALAND but it will take FIVE DAYS. QANTAS THE NATIONAL CARRIER? A TOTAL MYTH!!
I think this is Qantas' most important flight to the US - you can avoid LAX then you just hop on whatever American Airlines flight you need to get to your destination and even if you miss your connection, there's always another flight to get on
Hey glad to see that your international trip reports are back now that foreign travel restrictions are gradually being lifted. Really enjoy ALL your reports. Welcome back!
Great to see you back on an international flight. I especially enjoyed the footage of the FJ A330 from the Qantas lounge. Fiji’s economic recovery has thankfully begun but sadly, in many other Pacific countries that also rely heavily on tourism, it has not. I’m looking forward to the rest of your videos from this trip. Cheers.
Yes, trip reviews out of Australia are back! A great package, Paul, hope it’s the start of several 2022 reviews. I didn’t think Fiji Airways operated A330s out of SYD, only A350s. ✈️
I did this flight a few years ago on the A380. I was told that the lack of wifi is due to inconsistent availability over this area of the Pacific. Until service becomes more reliable and available the entire trip Qantas feels it's better just not to deal with it.
@@onehappytraveler6207 Just because it's available over one part of the Pacific does not mean it's available over all of it. The DFW-SYD route is not the same as from the west coast. It goes southwest over Mexico before heading out over the ocean. There is a huge area with (at the time, 6 years ago) very spotty satellite coverage. Airlines make money from charging for WiFi service. If Qantas could make a buck off of it they would be offering it. Think how irritated you get when your WiFi at home keeps cutting in and out. Now immagine a few hundred people on a plane all experiencing the same thing. Talk about air rage!
Hello Paul, you’re back! Great! I have missed your video’s. I have COVID-19 so I am at home seeing video’s all day long hihihi. Greetings from the Netherlands🇱🇺👋
Good to see you back Paul. QF product looks good I’m sure as the world gets back on its feet the service levels will improve. Good content as usual and great to see you flying again. Looking forward to the next one. Cheers.
PAUL.!! Great to see you back uploading videos, I always enjoy your content.. As for my opinion on Qantas business class I honestly couldn't give one as I've never left Australia only flown domestically. Which is a little sad I know
Great to see you back on the international routes mate. The local stuff you've been doing between lockdowns has been good, but business as usual is better. You're the best in the business (sorry Dennis)
Economy Is fine for anything of about 6 hrs or less, & business class could be a great option for anything well over 6 hrs . Not cheap, particularly if you only pay cash, but if you have the amount of points needed , its the best way to maximise their use . I'm flying back to Indonesia in about 3 months & will be using FF points to cover my return flights
I’m flying from Europe to Australia in June. My first route was Hamburg via London ans singapore to Sydney. But 4 k for a one way business flight. No thank you. Now I’m flying with Finnair Hamburg via Helsinki and Singapore to Sydney. Business class for 2k. And the connection flight in Singapore is the same from London. Qantas is just a greedy company. 😫
Paul so good to see you and your videos again! It has been a long time. Great video my friend. Looking forward to coming down to Sydney in the future. Stay healthy and safe.
Thanks Paul. The foot well on this flight was adequate? Seemed a bit larger than a previous video of yours where you suggested (I think) rows 1 and 10 had the most space.
Qantas "We now have the technology to fly you around the world nonstop 15 miles above the earth. Gourmet food, drink, and your seat turns in to a bed. Enjoy the 21st century!" PS "Wait, no wifi?" Qantas 😑 😂 Awesome video Paul! When I flew to Germany back in 1990 I used the air phone (mounted to the seat in front of me) to call back to the States. It was like $10/minute but worth the cost just to say I did it! Thanks for sharing the video and the 787. Its amazing how the comforts of flying have progressed. Its like an RV with wings! On a side note, I could never be a nature videographer, I'd have zero patience waiting for the monkey to jump!! :)
Awesome Video! It is good to See you flying again after Covid.... Here in Europe we have the next Problem.... Thank you very much, Paul, for sharing your Video with us.
Hi Paul. I agree , it's amazing to think people can travel such distances in one leg !. The food looked quite tasty. I bet you're glad to be travelling overseas again !🧡
Brilliant to see you back and looking forward to more excellent content. Great shirt by the way. Is it the same one that Mr Bunnik bought at Helsinki airport?
Howdy Paul and welcome to Texas. I grew up on a ranch that was purchased to build DFW Airport. Great memories but ranching was not my life plan, and it was good for my parents to move on to another spot in Texas. Glade to see you traveling again.
Great to see your flight videos again Paul, happy flying!!! I remember you were asking about the PCR test, where did you eventually do it from? I remember you said you did it a day before in this video.
Hi Paul, it's great to see and hear that you are out and about again. I do feel airlines are doing things on the cheap and standards have dropped a little. Looking forward to your next review. Kind regards DS
I’m a crew with QF, flying through storm a few times and I can never get sick of seeing the beautiful lightning. It’s like you are being in a fantasy movies. Love your videos btw.
I envy you Paul because I'm still locked in my house not having the chance to fly yet, but this was definitely a great review especially with the wonderful service you've experienced in Qantas from Australia to Texas, especially with you being among the people supporting the return in travel demand! Anyway, if you had the chance to plan a trip to Europe one day, (specifically London, whenever that may be), I'd suggest you to fly American, United, or Delta from Sydney to London Heathrow and compare how it's like to fly between Australia and the UK with a stopover in an American airport and compare it with transiting in a Middle Eastern hub. Enjoy your trip in Texas and the rest of America!
As much as I miss traveling I will never. Fly again and soon not many people will be able to afford to fly either hope you all enjoyed the your past travels
Great review! Does the armrest on the window/wall side (your right arm) lower so that it’s level with the seat? I know with the seats closer to the isle, the left arm rest lowers. I’m wondering if the same feature is available on the window seats right side so it gives you a bit more shoulder space when lying down, or hip space while seated if you’ve got a big bum.
Nicely put together as usual Paul. Definitely prefer manual windows shades. Is there still a 1 hour gap between courses? Very jelly and looking forward to living vicariously thru ur updates here and on IG 😂
Paul, I notice that you seem to have an add-on len to your gopro. Can you illuminate me on its function? I just got a gopro fairly recently and am still on the starting end of the learning curve. Thanks.

Good to have you back in the air. Love the first Pauljoke about the over-price choccys etc!

Thank you Paul! So good to be vicariously travelling with you again!!
Absolutely love your videos Paul! I’ve just gotten my PPL and now going backpacking around Europe. Can’t wait to be back on board a jet again.
Very nice and thoroughly enjoyable commentary with soft soothing voice.
Great video Paul great to see you up & about again ,
Great to see an international vlog Paul! And I can't wait to see your extra videos from around the USA too!

Love your shirt Paul fab. Once again great video. Welcome back.
I'm about to board this plane headed to Vancouver. Lots two forward to!
Clever flash of the RMs 😊 Very Aussie.
So nice to see a review Paul. Loving the sun rise.
It;s so cool that a 787 can fly that far nonstop. I enjoyed the video. I have flown on a few Dreamliners too in the past.
I flew Melbourne straight through to Dallas recently. They started doing that flight not too long ago
Welcome to the USA! So good to see you putting out content again.
howdy!
Good to see you back overseas and enjoying yourself.
Good to see a trip report from you after a while.. Look forward your enjoyable videos always 👍🏼
Great to see you back Paul! Looking forward to the museum vids!

Fabulous to see a new international video from you, Paul. Sensational!
Outstanding trip report. It's nice that you got to see both the sunset and sunrise, so beautiful. Flying next to a thunderstorm is a cool experience
Glad you enjoyed it
Welcome back, mate. Awesome to see QF7 resurrected with the 78 & a great review as always 🤓 ✈️
Yes we are getting back to some sort of normal with Paul back in the air ,, as usual a great Video & insight to this long leg

Absolutely love the channel! Thanks so much for showing us different flights around the world. Keep up the good work.😁
Thanks for watching!
It’s a pleasure to be on your journeys with you!
Well done Paul, we've been starved of quality reviews for over 2 years now so it gives me sense that we're finally returning to a bit of normality.
Nice to see you travelling again and also the nice video. Enjoy your trip.
Hey glad to see that your international trip reports are back now that foreign travel restrictions are gradually being lifted. Really enjoy ALL your reports. Welcome back!

Nice to see you back Paul👍
Thanks 👍
Hi 👋 👋 great to see you back Paul. Missed you 👍🥰🥂🥂🍷

They now do flights, Melbourne non stop to Dallas. I did it a month ago. Also was a 787 Dreamliner series 9

Can’t believe Qantas doesn’t have WiFi Internet for long flights. Bit of a red flag for that airline.

No wonder it felt quicker flying to Dallas as you virtually arrived at the airport before you departed from Sydney, and it takes 2 days to get back.

Amazing video! It’s great to see Qantas expanding to newer destinations like Texas
Option of full cream with coffee! Nice!
