My guess is that one reason the flight was so empty is that it was pushed back by six hours. A lot of people don't have the flexibility to move their flight time so much on such short notice. Some of the people who were going to fly on that flight probably rescheduled to a flight that was leaving closer to their original time.
Brilliant point. Which leads one to wonder the reason for pushing the flight back by six hours. Such cumulative developments on a repeated basis could drastically jeopardise the new airline's chances of survival. One cannot help but wonder who's running the show, and whether the cause is incompetence at the top or something else. Adding the new stopover is the biggest question --- What financial motive could offset the losses. I wish everyone well and hope they sort things out.
Maybe they had to take it to the tailor to measure for half a meter taller sides and privacy dividers 😃😃 Seriously, reverse herringbone was invented for a reason and "feeling open" while being a fancy design concept is disastrous if people can regain privacy at a press of a button. Only Etihad would have money for that kind refit. Good example for people to see how thinking and designing need to be connected - like on the neocortex level 😃😃
I know Zurich Airport. Unfortunately, if you fly economy, they are still friendly. But they have become rare. Customer does everything on his own. If there is a problem, you can wait 10 minutes because only one employee and what feels like 3 school classes, a baseball team, a soccer team, a traditional costume group and 300 individual customers check in at the same time 😮😮😮
Finding out Noel is 6’4” - 6’5” was the wildest part of the video to me. Also, I just love how positive Noel is about everything. It’s a breath of fresh air.
You don't notice it in videos all the time, but when he stands next to somebody- he's tall. FTR- he also did a circumnavigation flying only budget airlines. He did that so we don't have to .
Thank you Noel, for not putting "The worlds first all business class airline" like every other TH-camr. Beond claiming that is just stupid and unneeded, the product is solid, for a couple heading to the Maldives it's almost perfect.
I have had 3 arrivals and 3 departures from Zurich and have stayed at on of the airport adjacent hotels twice. Absolutely delightful. Bonus, a nice Coop grocery store in the airport.
That was one lucky leg of your trip! Every flight I manage to book is packed solid featuring the most overworked crew in the skies. I love this concept of all business seats, I will happily pay a bit more for it, and I will absolutely be searching it out next time I travel!
WOW! I think Beyond are beyond amazing. There’s something about the vibe here I love. The airport experience, service, aeroplane, ambiance, etc.. love it!
The positivity and respect you have for others present karma that results in unique experiences like this for you. Enjoy them, take them in, and keep being you.
WOW! What as experience with everything on this video. The flight, the deserted airport and the hotel room, all so beautiful. Thanks for this Noel, and please, no guilt in taking time off during work times ❤❤❤
Our most empty flight, my wife and I and another couple with a baby that slept all the time from Istanbul to Dublin. Never been first off a flight before
Looks amazing, love these types of reviews, I’d say that 90% of people who are watching this didn’t even know who beyond were before the video so it’s great see some of these less well known airlines
Agree, I kinda wanna try Beyond to the Maldives now. At least once to let em have the chance - My GF HATES longterm flights (cant sleep) so getting her in Business for once would make everything a ton easier.
Minging! We’re keeping the word alive Noel! I REALLY like the airline and of course the efficiency and friendliness of the staff. Not surprising with it being Swiss. All looks a-ok and another fantastic video Noel, I love ‘em, as you know. Nice one mate! 👌🏻
And actually, I have always lived by one of my previous employer's travel policy: spend like it was your own money. I am not skimping on travel when travelling on my own penny, and I am not skimping when travelling on company money. but I never, ever pay for something I wouldn't pay for myself.
German speakers call this little train the "Kuh-Bahn", which is a play in "U-Bahn" (subway/underground, with the "U" being short for "Untergrund" or underground) and "Kuh" being the German word for cow, because of the cow bells you hear during the ride (assuming this hasn't changed; I have used the Kuh-Bahn many times in the past, but not recently).
Great video Noel. I love the empty airport, such a rare thing and a massive contrast to just about any other city airport, enjoy it while you can lol. I loved the plane, not seen seats like that before, thank you for taking us with you on another fun journey. Also, you have every right to enjoy your work, we as viewers love to see you excited about things, so please don't feel guilty, your enjoyment is our enjoyment.
Even I felt like the biggest celebrity when the other passengers recognized you! And I am not Noel Philips .... That must've been such a proud moment for you!
The fancy aluminum bag is the best . I'm happy you have the security it offers you. I've watched the video of the show that bag. Waterproof and bug proof.
Happy Father’s Day Noel! This was a great video. I hope you enjoyed yourself on this trip. It looked more relaxed than other places and flights you’ve been on. Dubai is definitely on the bucket list.
does the 600 euro compensation apply for flights between switzerland and UAE? considering Switzerland isn't part of the EU. or are they part of that same agreement with the passenger rights?
Right, Switzerland is not part of the eu but have bilateral agreements and most important EU sky regulations include EU Switzerland Norway and Iceland…
I enjoy the amenity kit because of the bag and not what's inside. American started using cardboard boxes with the same old stuff inside. I used to keep the kits and I left mine on the plane the last couple times.
Midwest Express…..using DC9’s in an all business class layout, albeit 30 years ago where that consisted of only the bigger seat. But, my company at one point leased a Midwest Express jet for scheduled shuttle service NY to Chicago, I used it a couple of times. Flight time 2.5 hours, Lobster tail dinner served, plane mostly empty. On the NY side, it was great because it was flown from White Plains, but on the Chicago side, it was flown from Midway, which was way further from the office than ORD. The Corporate arrangement only lasted just shy of a year. It was back to using my charm to talk my way onto the Gulfstream IV over to Chicago when I needed to get there.
Blimey! what an incredibly amazing business class...lucky you Noel, brilliant review as always, I fancied everything and also that gorgeous hotel. Cheers mate
Well done Noel in finding the unusual airlines and like you most impressed with the whole experience and the compensation was a bonus. Well done sir!! Blue skies as always.
Really nice video Noel, Nice to see a new Maldivian airline with an all business class business model. I hope I get the chance to fly with them one day. Heard good things about them so far. 😍😍
That’s pretty wild! Wow, I can’t believe how empty both airports were! Lucky you, great video, don’t think I’ll be using that airline though. Thanks for sharing
Noel, I laughed harder than I should have at the 23:08 comment about the bag. After this week in IT, I don't blame you for getting out either! You really got lucky on this trip :)
You are simply LIVING THE LIFE. You are experiencing a life that MOST of us can only dream of. Most of us are frustrated and angry human beings because we hate our jobs and all the crap associated with the same. We are not doing what we love but what we have to, thus making us live a sad and uninteresting routine life. We who watch your super and extraordinary adventurous videos can only sigh and wish it were us.
I was once one of those people too. I use to work in IT & had to travel a lot & away from the family too much. I was also in debt & started doing videos of my work trips. Took awhile but they took off & I got to the point where I could quit my IT job & do this full time.
I like the idea of using tablets for inflight entertainment, it's much more flexible than using the traditional seat back type. Just have a few extras so if you ever have a plane full and have failures, just take out a replacement. And you can use your own BT headphones, updating the hardware is simple, performance is good...
You hit the jackpot with Beond and the Dubai Waldorf Astoria at incredible prices at the end of the day - the time-change compensation and "double" up-grade at the hotel. Well deserved as well.
A good, honest review. Definite result with the upgrade. Loved the comment about being a 'Northerner', I'm sure the citizens of Lancashire and Yorkshire would disagree :) From a fellow Nottinghamshire resident, keep up the good work!
Had a look at sky scanner for july date from zurich to maldove beyon is 1600 and the next cheapest is etihad 2700, and the cheapest economy ticket is 960 with qatar so it quite a good price
21:48 got stranded at this airport for 15 hours when the Dubai floods happened earlier this year; no open vendors for food and my 1 year old didn’t have a meal 20 hours. Thanks for bringing back those horrible memories Noel 😂
Could be, Beyond had to wait to be allowed/purchase a gate in Dubai for arrivals and departures, other than just being able to use it as a refill station.
My best empty flight was about 20 of us flying to lefkas in greece on a monarch 757 as one guy knew people wh o rented the plane to ship equipment. For the sailing season.we were there to route find mtb trails. Great trip . That was the early 90s
Mine was about 30-40 people on an Air France *747* on a fifth-freedom flight within South America, from Buenos Aires to Rio de Janeiro via Campinas and an unexpected longer detour to Santiago as well. I didn't want that flight to end!
Thanks for the video, Noel. This is the third Beond review I have watched and they have a fabulous product. It was hot and steamy in Dubai when tourism is at its lowest which explains the inactivity at the airport and sleeping/getting an upgrade at the Waldorf for a bargain. You definitely won't get that during the tourist or horse racing season, you won't even get into the Waldorf because all 5-star hotel rooms get sold out during the horse racing season.
As an American I'm not sure what you mean by the word, "compensation." (Surprised to hear that you get compensation when you're early.) I had a 9:00 p.m. flight from Newark to Heathrow which left at 2:00 a.m. and didn't even get a bottle of water, which is even worse when you consider that everything in the airport was already closed.
These are EU regulations. You need to be flying from, to or between EU airports. You weren't. Not sure if they apply to the UK any more. Having said that, Switzerland isn't in the EU either :D. But they may be part of certain EU policies.
@@alanoconnor7417 They do not apply to Flights From non-eu to UK, since 1.1.2021. The rules do apply to Iceland, Norway and Switzerland in addition to the EU-countries
The UK does have the same comp rules the EU does, when the UK left the EU they basically just copied most the EU laws into UK laws Edit: after checking the UK CAA website you'd need to be traveling on a UK or EU airline to the UK to get the comp so if you were with a non uk/EU airline you couldn't claim UK comp for a flight to the UK
@@jahngunnar The UK made its own policy for claiming for cancelled and delayed flights. Therefore the UK can use both its own compensation and the EU compensation.
This was “beyond” experience. It looked very comfortable. It was an awesome experience being in an empty airport. Never felt that before 😂Dubai is bucket list destination for me. Enjoy your trip Noel & Happy Father’s Day. Be safe & Blessings on your journey.

I have had 3 arrivals and 3 departures from Zurich and have stayed at on of the airport adjacent hotels twice. Absolutely delightful. Bonus, a nice Coop grocery store in the airport.
Noel, do you ever get on a plane these days where somebody DOESN'T say "You're Noel Philips!"?
