New hairstyle, Lufthansa scarf, think Mrs Bunnik must have organised your makeover. Give her a pay rise. Good review as always.
Someone’s been working on the jokes! Anti-pasta, big hairdryer under the wing, a dig at hipsters tattoos... Nice work Dennis!!
Hi Dennis,
Is that a new hair cut?
You look good though 👍
- from Malaysia with love -
Thanks - it's left over from my 50th birthday party - was Peaky Blinders (1920's) themed.
DennisBunnik Travels best theme ever!
You do not look 50.
He does look 50, but he wears it well :) great vid, love the new Bunnik video days!
@@DennisBunnikTravels Happy 50th! Here's to 50 more! 🥂
Slick hairy Dennis! The suites do look really good for business use. Another great vid . thanks
I have notifications set up for one channel on youtube-yours! I bloody love these videos :)
Great video Dennis! Interesting about the lights!
Great review as ever. Agree with previous comment, you make the most and
consistently professional and enjoyable air travel reviews. Nice one. Thanks
"The big hair dryer hanging off the wing." Love that line! Awesome vid brother!
Hi Dennis. Love your videos and subtle humour. Will be watching out for your next leg.
I love how your videos show a lot of outside views from the window as well. As a person who likes staring out of the window as well, it feels great seeing beautiful views through your videos :) Great work!
Another great video Dennis!
New hair cut? Looks great 👍
Loving the new look Dennis, very dapper!! Great report as usual🤓
Came inside, turned on computer, another video from Dennis, 12 minutes of enjoyment and jealousy. Nice one mate!
Thanks Bob
Lovely as usually Dennis!
Dennis ah the quote “a good flight starts with champagne followed by a gin and tonic “, perfect! Keep taking us with you
I really enjoy the reports Dennis!
Flew both variants of the A330 recently, their domestic business class was superb (same seats as this one I think)
. Their long haul to Brissie was a bit dated but still very good. Always love your videos!
Awesome review as always Dennis .... you’ve gotta be the #1 flight reviewer around! Keep them coming mate 😁
Great presentation as always Dennis. Big compliment on your new hair style ... makes you look really young 👍🏻 and highlights your salt/pepper colouring
Oh Dennis...no warm nuts!! The flight paths to Asia etc provide you with some of the most stunning Australian scenery and the first time you see it it's hard to fathom how big Australia is and all these magnificent outback sights! Magnificent! Looked like a most enjoyable flight DB...they are all ( Chinese carriers) so competitive in price to what we would call "major" carriers...especially in Business Class...great stuff mate and as always looking forward to your next trip where hopefully your nuts will be warm!!
12:25 the menu show u can get nuts anytime u wish !! Just request it anytime
Great video (as always). New "Doo" looks good! Happy belated 50th!! (welcome to the club)....Cheers.
Wow. They’ve definitely upped their game!
I flew Xiamen Airlines from KL to Xiamen in business and it was... interesting... haha
Great footage! I enjoyed your video!
Just found this channel, pretty amazing!
All your best hits in this clip Den. 👍🏻👍🏻
You keep getting better Mr Dennis! Keep it up! I’m a big fan! 😉👌
thanks for the video dennis!
Hi Dennis, I appreciate your reviews, can't understand that your channel isn't followed by more than 100k. Keep the good work.
rocking the Peaky Blinders look there, Dennis... you should keep it 👍 That Melbourne lounge has fantastic views. Thanks for the review, and enjoy your next flight.
Dennis smashes out another great review.
( hope everyone leaves a comment, then the youtube algorithm will promote his channel and get him the sort of subscriber numbers his channel deserves).
Thanks Rob - that sounds like a great idea.
Hahaha...you did exactly what I always do when I board the plane, I'd touch and say hi to it too!!! I know it sounds silly, but it's just lovely to see!!!
And you're such a decent gentleman with very enjoyable reviews, that's why I subscribed your channel....thank you!!
Your videos keep getting better & better love it!!
Im glad you did a review of this. I always see this airline when looking at flights and was never to sure if I should book with them. Im glad you did. Also I love your joke about the chinese tattoo. Made me laugh!
Love these videos. Will likely never fly on any of these airlines, but it's fun getting a taste of the experience.
This is the first video of yours that I watched and I really enjoyed it! I travel a fair bit -- so it is great to know what there is available.
Dennis, you really do live a great live. I wish i was as fortunate as you.
Where's Mrs B? Great video Dennis but even better when the good lady makes an appearance 😉👍
Another fantastic review..
Ive been looking at this airline to travel on, now i have a way better in-depth and insight . Cheers
That looked like it was a nice flight! Great video as always!
Thanks!
Great humour in this one, Dennis. Love your videos =)
Another great video Dennis, thanks.
Finally subscribed ;-) after watching all the reviews! btw: great hair cut - keep it! Belated Happy 50th Birthday !
Great video and review as always!
Very well crafted video...kudos to Mr. Bunnik 👏
Good review Mr Bunnik. Let’s all hope we get back to pre COVID flying.
Love the new hair cut - it makes you look younger and cooler 😎! Funny review! The Chinese characters 😁!
As usual always smash the like button, before the video starts. Great video 👍
I flew Business Class on China Eastern from Chicago to Shanghai to Singapore r/t last month and found all four legs lacking. They lacked movie/tv options. They lacked enjoyable food. They lacked a decent lounge in Shanghai. All crew lacked rudimentary English skills. I did luck out on one leg and also was on a Shanghai Airlines swap aircraft with privacy doors, although they were intentionally inoperable. While in Singapore I was impressed with how easy Delta let me join and receive mileage credit for the entire trip. Good videos Dennis. Bring your wife on more trips!
Thanks Kurt - yes definitely hope to bring her along more often. I agree re lounge in Shanghai and the entertainment system. I cover Shanghai Airport on the the A350 review which will be out in a few weeks - in editing now. On that leg the doors on the seats were working - seems inconsistent.
Dennis, Great review. Thanks
As usual I enjoyed your video ... straight to the point. I note that the cabin decor seems to lack warmth .
Me: Has no plans to fly to China or use China Eastern Airlines.
Also me: Still clicks on this video the minute I saw it.
Keep up the great reviews Dennis!
Jordan Chick I think that is the appeal of watching travel vloggers. A lot of niche channels like Dennis, Jeb Brooks, etc have natural reviews from their business trips. Kinda cool, and more genuine than someone who does it full time.
Dennis
Ur rocking man
Dennis Thank you so much for this report. HI From Argentina !!!!!
Upping the game on your hairstyle mate - looks good! 👍
Great hair cut! Looks awesome.
Another great video!
Binge watching vlogs that I’ve missed. Really nice silhouette on 6:57 👍 you should get that printed & framed.
Love the scenery on the plane ride over:)
I am suffering from an overdose of the bad dad jokes 😂 but they kind of were funny, excellent comprehensive great review as always so thanks Dennis, you look very dashing with your new hair style, thank you Mrs Bunnik !
Liking the new hair cut. Appreciate the review as we thinking of flying them to NZ from LHR and after the seat review - I don't think so -thanks
Ouch, she went for the high 5 at the end, probably ruined her day when she realised... :(
Is that a new hair cut, Mr Bunnik! Getting down with kids, I see!
Another brilliant review, and things looked pretty good, as Chinese airlines seem to get a bad wrap on here.
So sad I never saw the amazing views of Australia's interior when I visited last year. Both my inbound and outbound flights were overnight. ☹️
I’m so happy because I’m luckily taking their new 787-9 and 777-300 for this winter, because my parents allowed me to go back for spring festival and my surgery. So excited.
great review of a good flight with a groovy new hair do- looks like it was a good day for you...
Thanks!
Thanks for sharing your experience
Snazzy new haircut Dennis, high and tight.Makes you look years younger LOL. Always enjoy your choice of music.
Shame about the nuts. That's something I look forward to as well. Decent glass of champagne, though. Nice pod layout. Looks like a great service. Thanks for the review, Dennis! Also, I'm glad that you're not anti-pasta.
Another great review Dennis, love your videos! Now hurry up and put up the Cathay Pacific one! 😋
Hi Dennis,love the new hair cut.business class looked a bit narrow.good review.
At least you're not anti-pasta. Ha ha ha.
Thank you for the relaxing video and I do love your humour. I like your new hairstyle by the way.
Nice Hair style
Another great review Dennis
very informative review. thank you
Amazing video as always ! Probably one of my all time favorite TH-cam channels :)
Thank Eli!
Weird policy that the doors are locked🔒 Awesome video Dennis and i like your new haircut!!
Your awesome Dennis, I really enjoy your videos and the narration. From a police Sergeant from Miami.
I already subscribed to Dennis’ channel and I’m entertained for hours :D
Happy belated 50th Dennis!
Great review as always 😃
Thanks mate
You can rise the footrest only in fact, just by pressing one of the buttons that seem to move the seat back and forward. See carefully of the button on the very left of the bottom row on the penal. Anyway, thanks for your sharing that is very helpful!
Excellent review Dennis. I am a business traveler and so appreciate your reviews . They are informative, thorough fair and done with humility, ba rarity in airline review channels. Will be flying Turkish Air business in a few weeks to Romania and Turkey for business. I noticed you dont have a Turkish air review yet. This will be my first time flying them. Cheers
Thanks. I did a Turkish Airlines review a few years ago but only on a short flight within Europe. I thought they were excellent - would love to try them again. Have a great trip. cheers D
Been looking forward to this one! Given how hard it is to get points tickets on EK and QR it looks like a very tempting way to get to Europe.
Swear you lost 10 years with the new hair
style...as always pleasant and informative ! Thx Dennis!
That antipasta joke was brilliant. I always love your dad humor!
I lived in Shanghai for 5 years, and it’s very normal for lights not to be on. People like to save money and the approach to 浦东机场 (The airport you went to is covered by factories and places that closed down at that time of the day.
The funniest part of all your videos is when you speak about the PJ and about the blinds between seats when couples don't wish to talk to each other.
Your videos are consistently superior to most everything else online and I have no doubt you will reach 100k viewers in no time! Anti-pasta. Good one. 🙂😁🤣
Your videos just keep getting better and better Dennis! Nice new hair and keep up with the jokes, I genuinely spluttered at that Anti-pasta gem :)
Thanks! 😊
Dennis I love the new haircut.
Love your vids and channel. By far the best flight review and travel channel in my opinion (Y). It also helps that you're a Dutchie who moved to Australia haha, as I've similar ambitions.
I flew with MU 4 times last year, including a flight from Kunming to Beijing on one of their initial flights with the 787 in economy. Found the economy seating to be pretty good in terms of legroom and comfort. I feel like it would be adequate for longer distance flights. As you mentioned, entertainment was a let down, and much like you, I too found the route map to be quite useful - which is increasingly becoming the norm.
New haircut
Looks good
Great video also 😊✈
Hi Dennis, the best of Chinese carriers are Xiamen(Skyteam) and Hainan(Virgin Australia partner) and they are actually pretty much a class above China Eastern in both soft and hard products. Should try them one day, both flies to Sydney while Hainan does Melbourne, Brisbane and Cairns as well.
Happy belated birthday, Dennis! You wear it well ;)
just subscribed, good job!
That haircut is on point! Looks terrific you silver fox!
Thanks mate - definitely a lot of silver these days!
Rockin the new haircut. Looks good.
Nice Hairdo Den! Very suave!
9:48 Gorgeous sunset scene! The city does light up later. Greetings from Shanghai.
Great review as always, Dennis. Pretty ordinary wines for Business Class although it was good to see an Australian wines represented, though they could have done better. Australian wines tend to be under represented generally.
