  • We flew with FlyDubai from Dubai to Warsaw, Poland in business class and economy! On this particular flight, Liam snagged the seat up front while Nicky sat in the back. All was going well until boarding commenced...

    FlyDubai appears to be a budget airline that just goes through the motions of offering business class. OK, maybe this was their backup plane, and Liam did get a decent dinner, but otherwise it wasn't the experience he expected - or paid for. I think a partial refund is in order.

    Guys I'll have to be really honest so do forgive me, but I think you're being a tad too dramatic about the whole thing... An economy seat is very often just an economy seat and I really struggle to see how this could be noticeably narrower than any other Y seat on any other 737-800... plus calling a -800 with Sky Interior an "old plane" is a tad hyperbolic in my book (time to check the definition of old maybe) just because it has credit card swipe openings??mmmm.. The business class seat is certainly not as nice as the throne seat on the max, but it is still a decent hard product for a low cost airline that flies mid-hauls on narrow bodies... The video still gets thumbs up from me!😄
