We fly to Hurghada twice a year from Bristol. For some reason you always get the obligatory nuisance on the flight. I so admire the cabin crew in terms of what they put up with, I couldn't be quite so tolerant.
It was the racism that was the real problem. There was an Asian chap with his daughter just to the right of us who was getting quite worked up over it. He eventually went and complained to the crew who then denied them further alcohol.
You never told us how you liked Hurghada? My beloved late mother worked for the national bank of Cairo back in the 1950’s to the 1960’s and used to vacation in Hurghada and she told me it is a very beautiful seaside resort. I have never been there myself but would like to visit Egypt now that I am retired.
I’ve vlogged lots of the trip, so my time in Hurghada will be TH-cam soon. My parents also lived in Cairo for a couple of years in the 90s. You should really visit Egypt. For me, a Nile cruise is a must.
It's nothing to do with anyone when you fly, I dislike ppl that talk loud just so you can hear them! I had that experience flying to norway, american couple no less, I was so glad to get off that plane.
I was recently stuck on a boat on Lake Bled (Slovenia) for half an hour with a loudmouthed British guy talking nonstop about politics. He had controversial views. People just wanted to chill. He killed the conversation totally. The stupidest people are often the loudest. No self-awareness.
This is why I don't go on package holidays, use budget airlines or travel in economy class. It mostly avoids all the uneducated, rude, ignorant people! The only time I have flown with Tui was on a Dreamliner in premium class which was just about tolerable.
I went too Lanzarote last month and the guy behind was playing music on his phone for well over 2 hours , why he didnt use earphones is beyond me . He wasnt young either , in his fifties .So many rude and entitled people around . Kids screaming i can sort of put up with , its hard keeping a child happy on a plane , but ignorance is unforgivable.
Some people just don’t know how to behave in public. As you say, sometimes the entitlement is strong! The racist comments really upset an Asian bloke across the aisle from me as his young daughter could hear everything that was said.
I was on a flight when the pandemic protocols were in place, one man wouldn't wear his mask, then ate nuts despite being asked not to, due to someone with a nut allergy. He then played music without headphones, and reclined his seat so violently he knocked a drink off the tray of the person behind, and not one word of apology. The flight crew said and did nothing. It was awful.
No , just because you are a kid do not mean you can scream. Either learn the kid to behave or wait until they are older. Tired of kids getting away with stuff just because they are kid. If they are not mature enough to be sitting hours on a plane then wait until they are older when they can. Not counting landing and take off as then it can be that their ears hurts and had that issue myself as a kid.
How does he know if the plane spotters actually need to work? Could retired people not be plane spotters? May just be jealous that he has to work and others don't.
Horrific Think you handled it very well. This is why I fly BA if I go to Europe or mainline carriers like Lufthansa or KLM etc , generally there is a different type of person onboard and they are normally trouble free. These angry, drunk, abusive sorts of passengers should be on global no fly lists if they can’t behave!
Same here. I will be using Turkish airlines and changing in Istanbul to go to Hurghada. As they operate long haul planes with inflight entertainment and meal services and there's a lower chance of passengers like this.
Not really whats the deal withTui Egypt flights, been many times and almost invariably you get troublesome passengers.....like i mentioned in a previous comment we've given up for now until another airline flys. Its appalling they treat it has short haul.
My comment may be unpopular but…….Manchester airport has the most disruptive passenger incidents in the UK every year! Certain destinations worse than others but it seems to attract the worse kind of people. Unfortunately too many people spoil the experience for others these days and would be in favour of booze ban in airport and onboard and also there being a breathalyser at the gate! You may disagree but trust me it’s a much bigger problem than you think. So many police incidents and diverts it’s getting silly……and yes 9 out of 10 times it’s always Manchester flights.
Thats terrible thats so bad so sorry youve had to deal with this.We always fly TUI never had any problems.You always get a few that there behavour leaves alot to desired.
I agree those people seated behind you were vile. "while I'm saving the world with the NHS" - what an arrogant guy high on his own self importance. If he was a guy spewing racist bile, then I can assume he's not a doctor! It's a level of prejudice and ignorance that you cannot break through with dialogue. And if they are that comfortable saying such disgusting things out loud in a public space, then I can only wonder what they are like behind closed doors! Always better to be a decent human. Hope you and your family had a great holiday!
Consider yourself lucky you can fly out of Manchester. You don't have to fly out of one of the worst airport Toronto's Pearson Airport. Or on North America's worst airline Air Canada. There motto is "we're not happy till you're not happy. lol
I’ve never understood the 5 star thing on Egypt. Clearly not. Lots of people still get the sh i t s from the food. Lots of bang so called resorts. Food all the same. Last time we went was horrendous. Food poisoning. The restaurants you had to book in weee the same food as the big show pan cooking every night. Waiters sexually talking to guests. Never ever again
Terrible to have to be in that situation especially when you have kids to care for. Honestly these type of scxm should not be allowed to travel. I bet they made a great representation of British people for the entire vacation. Hopefully they went to far and ended up in the care of the local security forces.
Manchester Airport total rip off merchants. 6 pounds for a coffee, £20 for less than an hour parking,and you even have to pay for a trolley, absolute disgrace. And you have to walk miles to your gate! Only good I found was getting through quick apart for 20 mins waiting on luggage.
lol, the nerve of that guy claiming he saves lives with the NHS. He's probably a store-man. You dealt with it very well We had a nightmare flight going to Turkey. 2 rows beside us were hammering alcohol then singing paramilitary songs. Drinks was stopped for them and one girl had the cheek to ask me if I'd get her some? lol, NO said it would put me in a difficult position. Some people are so immature and selfish with zero regard for anyone but themselves.
My recent experience at Hurghada Airport was nothing short of disgraceful. The behavior of the airport staff was shameless, rude, and racist, leaving me deeply disappointed and infuriated. It is disheartening to witness such underqualified, dim-witted, and corrupt individuals in positions of authority. As Kurds who couldn't speak Arabic fluently because living in Sweden since age of 6, we became the target of the old individual who checked our passports. It seemed like he was envious or harbored some ill feelings towards us. He went out of his way to ensure that we missed our flight, deliberately mispronouncing our names and searching for any excuse to argue with us about trivial matters. He bombarded us with intrusive questions about our father's name, birthplace, and our inability to speak Arabic. After some time, he conveniently pretended to be ignorant of the English language and began interrogating us in Arabic. It was only when someone behind us stepped forward to assist with translation that he shifted his focus to Saddam Hussein, praising him as a great man-ironically, the same man responsible for a genocide against our people. When we confronted him about his behavior, he responded by hurling curses at us in his language. The flight was thankfully delayed or else we would've been stranded thanks to this racist man. Our initial intention had been to help the kind and needy individuals we encountered during our stay, but after enduring such treatment, I can confidently say that I will never set foot in Egypt again. I sincerely hope that the airport authorities take this review seriously and address the abysmal state of affairs. The treatment we received is an embarrassment to the friendly and helpful people we encountered in the city, who truly made our stay amazing. Hurghada Airport must reconsider the hiring and training of its staff if it wishes to maintain any semblance of credibility and hospitality.
That is truly shocking. It may be worth trying to make an official complaint. Having said that, I believe it may fall on deaf ears but if enough people complain they will eventually have to listen. On my return flight one of the desk-agents tried to con me out of money and the security staff were quite rude, but more about that in an upcoming video.
Yes, we need to raise awareness among others and encourage them to take action. A collective effort, such as boycotting the airport for a period of time, could exert pressure and break this terrible cycle. It seems like the only way to bring about change and hold the airport accountable for their actions. It's truly disheartening that people can have such a wonderful experience during their stay, only to encounter such disappointment right before heading back home.
Same as others have said fly BA, cheap flights attract cheap people. I last flew Ryanair during the Volcano problem (remember that) and got stuck in Poland, I’m experienced so instead of waiting for my flight which never got off the ground I came home by train via Berlin and Brussels. I’m flying with them next week Cologne to Bristol for how much £25 even a tramp could afford that on tips from begging! Mind you I’ll pay the same price to get home on the train
It's a shame there are elements of society that just don't know how to behave when in public, especially on an aircraft. It's not like you can just leave and get away from the situation. It also find it mind boggling that people who behave in such a racist and despicable manner chose to holiday in Egypt. That aside, I hope you and your family enjoyed your holiday.
Agreed! We had a great holiday, apart from the illness that seems to come with a trip to Egypt. I’ve tried to vlog elements of the trip as a permanent memento. Something for my kids to look back on in later life.
As crew myself I can tell you that we earn very little commission from our inflight sales. It’s the airline themselves that make money from inflight sales, which in turn helps keep the ticket prices down.
This is like moving in to a new house & finding you have ASBO neighbours except (and thank god) you can move away again before too long. Still with those behind you, this must've felt like a long haul flight!
Alcohol on a flight is a ridiculous concept. Who on earth wants to be stuck in a small flying bus with loud, smelly and arrogant people, causing problems for 5 hours? Not me thats for sure. They should at the very least impose a limit 125 quid worth of booze is crazy. It never ceases to amaze me just how little self-control some grown adults have when it comes to avoiding becoming a drunken on a flight.
Manchester, always my last resort to fly from.. But I do like a day on the south side mounds with a camera.. Well handled sir, he would have had both barrels off me.
We are rightly proud in Manchester to have the 19th 20th and 21st worst terminals in the UK........of 21! It is truly shocking when the National Express Coach station is an upgrade on the terminal building you know that... there are issues!
And they all end up at your hotel. When we were there this year, it was an Egyptian holiday and we had a lot of Egyptians turn up. They would turn up at the pool mid-day and if you had left your sun loungers they would just take them, even laying on your own towels. The pool guys were good at removing them, but it happened every day where at least one of us would stay on the beds whilst the others would go swimming, but even with people on the sun loungers, they would still sit at the end of them and even put all there stuff in them. I thought it was great - best entertainment the whole time there.
I kept thinking, please don't be at my hotel, please don't be at my hotel. Thankfully they weren't! Did see them on the return journey but they were much better behaved this time.
I used to put post it notes on the atlas boxes in the galley , the 737 is a lovely plane to be a galley operator on .thanks for the lovely video .airlines are just cramming way to many passengers on making loos smaller etc it’s so unnatural.
Yes I was cabin crew for 21 years unfortunately due to sinus problems in my later years of flying I had to call it a day but I have fond memories. Keep your videos comming there very enjoyable kindest regards Philip
Thank you. It's something I quite fancied when I was younger. Knowing my luck I'd have been stuck with RyanAir and would never have got to see any of the places we travelled to :-)
You were wonderfully contained. Unfortunately, I find indirect verbal annihilation the preference of the Northern people. Terms like "I speak as I find" translate as "I'M very rude and opinionated"
We went to hurgarda on the 22nd of September, and I must say I was not impressed with TUI. Their crew just Semt rude it was worse on the way back they served drinks once at the start never dimming the lights and spent most of the flight at the front speaking to the pilot
@@thegadaboutdad1057 no. You weren't being over sensitive. After how they played up for the rest of the flight, they were definitely not nice people. You were obviously relieved they weren't in the same hotel as you!!!
While we we queuing for immigration I was praying that they weren’t in our hotel. Thankfully, my prayers were answered. NO ONE from our flight went to our hotel. In fact, we didn’t see any other Brits the whole time we were there!
I'd have said "sometimes, after wiping old people's arses on night shift I get some brekkie and watch the container ships come in to Lowestoft to calm down before sleeping and doing it all again... what do you do love?". Then I'm old and not taking crap no more x
I'm shocked you were on such a small plane for a 6 hour flight..We flew out to Palma,Mallorca with Tui,on a 2 hour flight from Manchester,and we were on the Tui Dreamliner with seatback tv's..I'd have hated those passengers sat near us,instead we had quite a lot of screaming/crying babies
It shocked me too. The holiday was expensive, so initially assumed we’d get a meal and in-flight entertainment. My own fault for not checking before I buy. Neither crying children (which I know isn’t always avoidable) and drunk/unruly passengers make for great traveling partners. 😞
I've just returned from Doha to Birmingham with Qatar Airlines. The flight was full and I would guess at least 95% ethnic. After we landed, I've never seen an aircraft left in such abject shit order in all of my days. We were seated right at the back but had to walk right to the front to exit. I don't know how the staff put up with it. Flying is a privilege or so I thought. It's no wonder there is so much unrest in the world with this level of ignorance and self entitlement.
Easy mate. I was on a packed 787 dreamliner in June. Heathrow to Vancouver. 90% Caucasians and the plane at the end of the flight looked like it had been burgled. Moral of our stories....People can be bloody slobs
Flew from Manchester earlier in the year, after we couldn’t get a flight from Glasgow, our local airport. After this single experience, I will never fly from Manchester again. The buildings are just that, bricks, concrete and mortar, like any other airport, so no problem there. The staff, specifically in security, that was a complete eye opener, to the difference between my local airport in Glasgow and Manchesters attempt at customer service. Fist of all, not enough staff on the ground, so security checks took ages, with frustration building in both passengers and staff. The passengers handled the delays admirably, but the same could not be said for the staff. I witnessed multiple security staff, harass a woman in her 50s who was pushing her mother of 70-80 years old in a wheelchair and demanding, that the mother stand up from the wheelchair and walk unaided through the body scanner. When advised that her mother could not walk unaided, the security staff then raised their voices, became belligerent and threatened, the mother and daughter, with potentially not getting on their flight, if she failed to stand up !!! The staff member cheekily said, “you should have contacted the airport and advised us that your mother had mobility issues” to which the daughter showed proof she had, but the airport failed to provide any support in processing them through security, to which the staff member just ignored her and repeated his demands that she walk through the scanner unaided. Some of us offered to help hold and support the older lady, but were warned to stay out of it and get back in line !!! Disgusting, disgraceful behaviour and totally unacceptable and repulsive to any decent person. I can only speak about my multiple experiences in Glasgow Airport, where on departure and arrival, the warmth, care and support of every member of staff, makes it a joy to travel and I will avoid Manchester airport at all costs.
This just reconfirms why I don't fly tui, awful. That announcement about abusive behaviour, you'll never hear that on BA. The passengers aren't what I want to mingle with. You guys seem nice and polite with great kids.
Usually find your destination followed by airline are the biggest indicator of how pleasent your fellow passengers are. Normally fly BA myself and sometimes easyJet. I never book with package tour operators like Tui because as a solo traveler they take the micky in surcharges and the tightest seating arrangements of all UK airlines. Not saying they are bad, just not for me.
Possibly at the start, but definitely not towards the end. There is never any excuse for racism and trust me he was being very racist, I just don’t think I could play it on here…even if I wanted to. People did complain to the crew about them and it wasn’t me. That’s why they were eventually denied more alcohol.
I didn’t show the racist remarks in the video; TH-cam wouldn’t be happy if I did and I really didn’t want to give it airtime. It all came about because they’d had to much to drink and got louder and louder. Quite a few nationalities came in for criticism. As an example I’ll just say that I’m 100% sure that not all Syrians smear excrement on the walls of hotels!

@@thegadaboutdad1057 dreadful behaviour, so pleased they tackled it and took action.
It used to be a decent airline when it was first Britannia and then Thompson as soon as the TUI name appeared it lost all credibility.
The people behind you.... Moaning about foreigners when going to a foreign country 😂😂
So true!
You never told us how you liked Hurghada? My beloved late mother worked for the national bank of Cairo back in the 1950’s to the 1960’s and used to vacation in Hurghada and she told me it is a very beautiful seaside resort.

I’m not sure I wasn’t being paranoid initially. It just became uncomfortable in the end.

Typical flight from Manchester, that travel reps dread meeting !

I thought at the time he was having a dig at me because I’d just mentioned that I’d been there with my son on a Friday.
Need to swap it to a 787 route.

Good point. I’m sure this wouldn’t have happened if the alcohol wasn’t flowing so readily.
@@thegadaboutdad1057 if people can't go a few hours without alcohol they have a drink dependency problem

I quite like Manchester airport. Maybe I’ve always struck it lucky or my standards are low 😂 To be fair, I’ve not been to many British airports.
Manchester is not the worst
I agree. The actually quite like Manchester airport. I’ve never had a major problem traveling from there.
I flew back from hurghada on Monday night we only had one drinks service with tui
We had two both ways. Maybe they’ve reviewed the service.
Amazing job and out standing video keep it up!
Thank you for your lovely comments.
And they all end up at your hotel. When we were there this year, it was an Egyptian holiday and we had a lot of Egyptians turn up. They would turn up at the pool mid-day and if you had left your sun loungers they would just take them, even laying on your own towels. The pool guys were good at removing them, but it happened every day where at least one of us would stay on the beds whilst the others would go swimming, but even with people on the sun loungers, they would still sit at the end of them and even put all there stuff in them. I thought it was great - best entertainment the whole time there.
I kept thinking, please don't be at my hotel, please don't be at my hotel. Thankfully they weren't! Did see them on the return journey but they were much better behaved this time.
Lets be honest, a plane spotter is just an upgrade from a train spotter😂
At least it’s an upgrade 😂
I used to put post it notes on the atlas boxes in the galley , the 737 is a lovely plane to be a galley operator on .thanks for the lovely video .airlines are just cramming way to many passengers on making loos smaller etc it’s so unnatural.
Thank you for your lovely comments. I take it you’re (or used to be) cabin crew?
Yes I was cabin crew for 21 years unfortunately due to sinus problems in my later years of flying I had to call it a day but I have fond memories. Keep your videos comming there very enjoyable kindest regards Philip
Thank you.
It's something I quite fancied when I was younger. Knowing my luck I'd have been stuck with RyanAir and would never have got to see any of the places we travelled to :-)
You would of made it to the major uk carriers you have a great personality and people skills they would of been lucky or have you “
Once again, thank you for your kind words.
You were wonderfully contained. Unfortunately, I find indirect verbal annihilation the preference of the Northern people. Terms like "I speak as I find" translate as "I'M very rude and opinionated"
We went to hurgarda on the 22nd of September, and I must say I was not impressed with TUI. Their crew just Semt rude it was worse on the way back they served drinks once at the start never dimming the lights and spent most of the flight at the front speaking to the pilot
It's certainly nobody elses business what you do for a living, where you work and what you do in your free time!
I think he assumed I wasn’t working…or maybe I was just being overly sensitive.
@@thegadaboutdad1057 no. You weren't being over sensitive. After how they played up for the rest of the flight, they were definitely not nice people. You were obviously relieved they weren't in the same hotel as you!!!
While we we queuing for immigration I was praying that they weren’t in our hotel. Thankfully, my prayers were answered. NO ONE from our flight went to our hotel. In fact, we didn’t see any other Brits the whole time we were there!
Worst airport? They need to visit luton
Unfortunately (or fortunately!) I’ve never been through Luton airport.
Flying the max 8 and living is a feat in its self😂😂
😂
What a cute little family
Thank you for your kind words.
I'd have said "sometimes, after wiping old people's arses on night shift I get some brekkie and watch the container ships come in to Lowestoft to calm down before sleeping and doing it all again... what do you do love?". Then I'm old and not taking crap no more x
I thought it best not to 'poke the bear' since we were stuck with each other for another 6 hours. :-)
The perils of traveling to cheap charter all inclusive resorts
I'm shocked you were on such a small plane for a 6 hour flight..We flew out to Palma,Mallorca with Tui,on a 2 hour flight from Manchester,and we were on the Tui Dreamliner with seatback tv's..I'd have hated those passengers sat near us,instead we had quite a lot of screaming/crying babies
It shocked me too. The holiday was expensive, so initially assumed we’d get a meal and in-flight entertainment. My own fault for not checking before I buy.
Neither crying children (which I know isn’t always avoidable) and drunk/unruly passengers make for great traveling partners. 😞
So peoples with babies can't flight??? If u don't like just go with car..... shame on you
I've just returned from Doha to Birmingham with Qatar Airlines. The flight was full and I would guess at least 95% ethnic. After we landed, I've never seen an aircraft left in such abject shit order in all of my days. We were seated right at the back but had to walk right to the front to exit. I don't know how the staff put up with it. Flying is a privilege or so I thought. It's no wonder there is so much unrest in the world with this level of ignorance and self entitlement.
Easy mate.
I was on a packed 787 dreamliner in June. Heathrow to Vancouver. 90% Caucasians and the plane at the end of the flight looked like it had been burgled.
Moral of our stories....People can be bloody slobs
I have to say that after most long haul flights I’ve been on the plane ends up looking like it’s been ransacked by the time we land.
Flew from Manchester earlier in the year, after we couldn’t get a flight from Glasgow, our local airport.
After this single experience, I will never fly from Manchester again.
The buildings are just that, bricks, concrete and mortar, like any other airport, so no problem there.
The staff, specifically in security, that was a complete eye opener, to the difference between my local airport in Glasgow and Manchesters attempt at customer service.
Fist of all, not enough staff on the ground, so security checks took ages, with frustration building in both passengers and staff.
The passengers handled the delays admirably, but the same could not be said for the staff.
I witnessed multiple security staff, harass a woman in her 50s who was pushing her mother of 70-80 years old in a wheelchair and demanding, that the mother stand up from the wheelchair and walk unaided through the body scanner.
When advised that her mother could not walk unaided, the security staff then raised their voices, became belligerent and threatened, the mother and daughter, with potentially not getting on their flight, if she failed to stand up !!!
The staff member cheekily said, “you should have contacted the airport and advised us that your mother had mobility issues” to which the daughter showed proof she had, but the airport failed to provide any support in processing them through security, to which the staff member just ignored her and repeated his demands that she walk through the scanner unaided.
Some of us offered to help hold and support the older lady, but were warned to stay out of it and get back in line !!!
Disgusting, disgraceful behaviour and totally unacceptable and repulsive to any decent person.
I can only speak about my multiple experiences in Glasgow Airport, where on departure and arrival, the warmth, care and support of every member of staff, makes it a joy to travel and I will avoid Manchester airport at all costs.
I’ve also had a soft spot for Manchester but probably because I’ve used it since I was a kid.
The experience you describe is incredibly poor.
That's why We go to MALTA 🇲🇹
It took us nearly as long to get to our gate as it did to fly to our destination 😅😅
😂
Why going Egypt should be banned as going to foreign land
What do you mean. I'm puzzled
Frist time watching your videos. Great job, very entertaining and informative. Keep up the good work 😊
Thank you for your kind words. I really appreciate it.
This just reconfirms why I don't fly tui, awful. That announcement about abusive behaviour, you'll never hear that on BA. The passengers aren't what I want to mingle with. You guys seem nice and polite with great kids.
Usually find your destination followed by airline are the biggest indicator of how pleasent your fellow passengers are. Normally fly BA myself and sometimes easyJet. I never book with package tour operators like Tui because as a solo traveler they take the micky in surcharges and the tightest seating arrangements of all UK airlines. Not saying they are bad, just not for me.
Your being a bit snowflake about the man behind
Possibly at the start, but definitely not towards the end. There is never any excuse for racism and trust me he was being very racist, I just don’t think I could play it on here…even if I wanted to.
People did complain to the crew about them and it wasn’t me. That’s why they were eventually denied more alcohol.
I think rather than brand people 'snowflakes', as a society we should be more tolerant and not be bigots, maybe??
@@thegadaboutdad1057 how was he being racist though??
@@philipjamesarmstrong1364 what? In the video there is no racist remarks being said though
I didn’t show the racist remarks in the video; TH-cam wouldn’t be happy if I did and I really didn’t want to give it airtime.
It all came about because they’d had to much to drink and got louder and louder. Quite a few nationalities came in for criticism. As an example I’ll just say that I’m 100% sure that not all Syrians smear excrement on the walls of hotels!
