I love these 15 16 hour economy class vlogs. It gives the viewers interesting details apart from fancy seats, the meals and all the facilities in business class.
Thanks! I do too - I really don’t mind long haul in economy - there’s some pretty good economy seats in the Middle East and Asia carriers. US airline long haul has a ways to go ahah
I'll be flying BOS>HKG next weekend on the A350-1000. What aircraft were you on? I hear the A350 is "better" than the B777. How was the wifi onboard? Usually on any plane having 300 people share one internet connection is comically laughable, at best to the point of not being worth the $20.
I was on the a350 - WiFi on board to be honest was slow but useable if you had patience. Is it worth the $20 - IMO probably not at least for me. I think a350 is better - generally I’ve had smoother rides on the 350 - I think there is more cabin room. Have a great flight!
@@MikeLikesToTravel Thanks! Do the economy seats recline? If so, I'm thinking using my laptop won't work at that point due to the cramptness. At some point in my life, I'll get a business class seat on these uber-long flights But the extra $5,000 costs more than my whole trip to Vietnam. Dare to dream.
You must try the business of Cathay Pacific for one time, but currently it's not a good choice since the ticket price become so much higher after the pandemic. I miss the days several years ago. It only cost about 400-500 US dollars to get a single ticket across the pacific. All the good days had gone
Done economy from Heathrow to Hong Kong and back in November 2022, felt so crammed in even sitting aisle seat, I promised my self on way back never to go economy for that long route ever again 😂 their premium economy is good I used it couple times for same route, but I found they have now got greedy, I been using Swiss going business class as it similar price or even less sometimes than Cathay premium economy, admittedly it is abit extra time as have to connect in Zurich but only about an hour or so.
You’re totally right - Cathay greatly raised their prices especially in the premium cabins post 2020. I’ve also found better deals for business on Qatar and Finnair - haven’t tried Swiss yet but would like to!
I hope he still continues to do at least some vlogs on economy. Sick of some vloggers who think economy is too low for them. Some of us can't afford business or first class.

Would you recommend a extra seat cushion to bring along?
If you have to I would bring one - I brought a neck pillow and that worked well enough

CX very good
Yes - one of my favorite airlines
Why not business bro? 15 hrs of torture
Can't fly business all the time - not made of money yet. Hopefully 1 day though!
@@MikeLikesToTravel got it
Just out of pure curiosity, what would’ve been the difference in price from business to economy in this case 3K 4K 5K?
My economy ticket was $750, the business class would have been 5k USD
