For comparison videos.. you really should compare by same route (or to and fro), similar airplane type, similar seating area. This makes the whole experience more comparable
almost impossible to do and sometimes isn't cost efficient
Agreed. Comparing a puddle jump flight on a smaller plane from a non-hub, to a longer flight on a larger plane from the airlines hub are completely different experiences.
But if you are in first class and you do economy for the other air line it’s not
comparable
I’m flying to LAX-HND on United tomorrow.
Agreed
As a flight attendant, I would like to explain the pilot situation for your United flight. There are situations when pilots and flight attendants have different schedules. Due to staffing shortages, your first officer and flight attendants may have stuck together but your captain may have been on a delayed flight. Yes, he/she may have gone to the wrong terminal, but it only takes a😅 few minutes to get from one side of the international terminal to the other (unless you're flying Air Canada). What makes matters worse is YYZ gates aren't operated by United. They're operated by Swissport. Swissport is poor at communicating between ground staff and United. In a nutshell, the pilot going to the wrong terminal was not the initial cause. The captain was sticking up for the colleagues.
More over united in yyz is not swissport is something else
Just to be clear? The first leg from YYZ was on not-United, and it was to EWR. And just over an hour. On an airplane with limited catering in the galley. ONE tiny galley.
Then, JFK-MCO DL1685, an ACTUAL Delta A321 mainline jet with actual DL crew. Catered for a more than 2-hour flight!!
These are not valid comparisons in any way.
express vs. mainline is crazy
Bro it was real United. I’m an avgeek and have never heard of fake United lol
@@CurcuitTech it’s regional airlines contacted by major airlines like SkyWest they used by all 3 us airlines
11:20 Fun fact, United is going to have free WiFi starting in January, also I think that a longer flight would give the best comparison of the two airlines. Loved the vid though
bro you used e75l and a321 the glaze is insane like you should make it even and give united a chance
Nice video. Also the captain not showing up for 30 minutes was crazy.
People who saw the a380 in the background at 3:30 👇
I did
You are the best flight reviewer I have ever watched awesome job again Eric on another video
I’ve only flown emirates since I can remember, I have no memory of going on any other airline so I love these vids sm!
Video idea: Comparing Canada’s worst airline in first class and Canada’s best airline in economy
Or the world
Had he flown AC to EWR or LGA or JFK(it flies to all three NYC airports which neither DL or UA do) in business class he’d have gotten any type of drink and a cold plate of either cheese/deli or smoked salmon. On UA, DL or AA there’d only be a basket of chips and the like. So AC actually beats all three US airlines on these short Transborder flights.
Thats completely unfair. First class you get treated like you’re a millionaire. And even though that the airline with the best economy class is still good you will still be treated like a regular passenger 😐
You have to start flying similar routes where they fly similar equipment when doing these comparisons!
YOOOO! NEW VIDEO FROM ERIC! 🎉🎉🎉
You should do a compilation of your airline reviews! Have fun travelling Eric!
Can you do cathay pacific vs hong kong airlines?
7:36 Take over the plane & fly into something is wild 💀💀
That’s so real
Always love the videos! And the humour that is incorporated within them! If there was channel memberships I'd definitely buy one.
I suggest you try Starlux Airlines, the meal is so special that you can't imagine!
They let Sam Chui onto the flight deck mid-flight. No thanks, I will never fly Starlux
@@markcorneliuslauwhy will you never fly starlux
@@markcorneliuslauhaha
Eric back to back daily uploads? LETS GOOO
Great video as always, Eric. Can you try Starlux Airlines, Etihad Airways, and Iberia? Hopefully you would do it on their A350s.
❤DELTA❤ Thanks for the info + video!
Can you do air China vs China southern
Now let’s do the best airline in South America
could be fun!
Latam
This could actually be fun
You left out the best feature of the Centurion lounge: the speakeasy cocktail bar. It blows away even the silly Virgin clubhouse lounge and even Delta (for the premium booze and cocktails…free but charged for at DL). And you didn’t mention the UA flight would have actually flown into EWR/Newark not New York while the DL flight left from one of its major hubs: JFK. So not only are you not comparing flights on the same route or aircraft but also a non-hub (for UA) with a hub (do). Had you flown DL between YYZ and NYC you’d likely get pretzels and a soft drink/coffee though in Comfort no booze (which is supposed to be offered for that premium over lower coach fares).
Here is some tips…maybe try comparing very similar routes. And also, try making it the same aircraft version. Of course United Express E-175 will not be as good as Delta’s Airbus 321(I believe). Oh- and for the window issue- use Aerolopa. Love that website- gives very detailed seat and widow seats Other then that- amazing video- love it😁
Please do Alaska airlines pleaseee❤❤❤
I swear you are the best aviation vlogger 🎉🥳
How do you fly around the world with mobile data? Do you buy a sim at the location you land, or do you have a sim that you have data worldwide?
I fly on that delta flight from jfk to mco every year and it’s definitely my favorite flight 😀
I always like your videos 😉 thank you for sharing your experiences with us. By the way, the Delta- Aircraft you used was an Airbus A321, not a Boing. Have a look at the safety card at minute 11:41.😋Could you compare one time Austrian Airlines with Swiss Airlines, also always beloved airlines which are parte of the Lufthansa Group? For having the full airline experience, I definitely recommend traveling with a normal Green /Eco-Fare where at least one checked bag is allowed and a long hall flight, since on the short hall flights there is not that much inflight service except you're choosing business class or upper. Both airlines have an eye on carry on bags, especially on full flights on an A320s. Greetings form Austria🤗
GREAT VIDEO MATE KEEP GOING! 😝
Yeah I flew outta Toronto the other day, from the time my mom dropped me off and me getting through security, eating a burger, and getting to the gat was like 20 minutes haha
I love watching flight reviews from you, keep up the good work
Glad you like them!
@@ericstrukI also do!
Oh really?
I don’t agree
Delta for me. I had a Delta flight delayed almost 2 hrs due to a crew issue. They brought out an unlimited snack cart with water and coffee. And although I had a direct flight I overheard other passengers with connections saying Delta had already booked them on other flights. It’s when things go wrong that you can tell how good their customer service is.
Hi Eric! I recommend to review Finnair! Finnair has very good service and nice lounges! I really enjoy watching your videos, keep up the good work!
Next video: can you try the most popular airlines in the word
I’ll be flying United in 2 weeks again. I’ve had a great experience on United. Delta is awesome too that’s why those are always my top 2 airlines.
I love delta, my family only flies Delta but I once had a 2 hour delay while on the plane because of weather. They were great with service though
Eric, I know it might not always be possible, and as others have said, but you need to compare the A320\737 or wide bodies between the US airlines. The smaller jets like the E175 or Crj 200/700 are regional airlines that are different airlines. The pilots and flight attendants don’t work for United, Delta or American on those flights, if you’re flying on those planes. The bigger airlines basically pay an airline like SkyWest to have the logo or the bigger airline, and it allows smaller cities and towns to connect to the big airlines hubs.
As someone who has flow all of the big 3 us airlines, I have say Delta is best of em! Never had a delay on Delta compared to United and American!
Video idea:test every airline in Europe 🇪🇺
I had the same experience with United. I was flying out of Denver and the flight was completely boarded and the pilot was no where to be found and he came over half an hour after the flight fully boarded.
10:08 even after the brainrot meme I got hit with an ad😂😂😂
Honestly I’ve flown on united more but even then it’s not really a competition. I prefer delta all the way. Americas best airline imo. It’s always awesome to make the flights as similar as possible despite that being hard to do.
You do the best and honest airline reviewer
less goooooooo btw love ur vids
You should do next LOT and LUFTHANSA sorry if I spelled that wrong
Eric Absolutely loves the videos. I've watched everyone of your videos twice now. I just wanted to know if you ganna change your thumbnails anytime soon?
Tryhard ahh
Definitely not a fair comparison. Delta flight was a longer route so obviously there required to give us snacks when the United flight was only one hour flight also not fair because different type of plane so definitely in my opinion it’s not a fair comparison.
We can all agree that Eric is our favorite TH-camr! Today is my birthday and all that will make me happy is Eric replying to my comment.🎂🎂
Eric Struck uploaded twice in a row again🔥🔥🔥
If that lounge is bad, go to the Paris/Orly one next to the Royal Air Maroc’s lounge
4:49 and 4:59 DANG ☠️☠️☠️☠️☠️
If you think the Delta Sky Club is a 10/10 wait until you experience the Delta One Premium Lounge! Available in JFK, BOS, & LAX I believe.
Can you please flie whit sunixpres to Izmir und Turkey ppplllleeeeeaaaassseee❤❤❤
12:20 Bros face 😂
Yessssssss🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉 Delta won but it wasn’t too shocking since Delta is ranked #1 in America right?
You can use this guys videos for a drinking game... take a shot every time he says "literally" or "actually" and you'll drunk in two minutes 🤣
I ❤ your vids
U just got so unlucky with united, they are normally so good
I think that you should have flown similar flight times and aircraft types for a fair comparison. Delta was a longer flight with mainline aircraft and crew, United was a short, regional route operated by another airline. You could have compared them with United from YYZ to SFO, and then Delta from SFO to ATL. This would ensure that both planes and crew are mainline, and both flights would be longer in length.
It would be even more fair if you depart from their hubs. The only true comparison would be from two similar routes from LAX as Delta and United have hubs in LAX.
Deltas big snack options: SunChips, Biscoff
Les goo new vid
Tbh that’s in 4:35 united EXPRESS, it’s not an actual united flight…
Need to make more longs
Hey erik! I love your videos! Ive been watching for a long time! Almost 2 or 3 months now, almost 4 mayve! I think you should fly Aeroméxico, Méxicos most commom airline! I never personally flew it and im mexican but looking forward to the review!
My Opinion Is Delta Is The Best Airlines In Airlines In North Amerika.Great Video And Info
Eric best video ever
Can you please do my idea: I did Vietnam best and worst airline
Great video and I like your format.
That said, comparing a United Express E175 flight to a Delta A321 is comparing apples to oranges. Experiences really aren’t the same so a bit of an unfair comparison (I used to fly for the regionals, trust me, I know).
Fly Korea’s Best and Worst Airline.
Best: Korean Air
Worst: JeJu Air
next video idea: trying korean air vs asiana airlines
Next you can compare Air india and Pakistan airlines or air china instead
Keep up the good work 😊🎉
Great video Eric! Do you think I can get a shoutout next vid? Keep up the good work!
2 videos in 2 days I feel like I'm dreaming😍
Mee to
Compare Singapore airline first class against emirates first class
You should try Avelo airlines
Can you try Norwegian vs SAS
Porter VS Breeze ❤
Breeze airways flies from.Ogden Utah to California. Maybe that is an airline you can try.
I’ve been taking United and Delta for a very long time I kind of like United more
woah two vids uploaded the same day
Eric I’m flying on frontier soon can you please do a review😃
Predicting United as the winner
JetBlue actually won the award for the best economy class.JetBlue>Delta
You should make a video ranking all the best first class seats or business class seats 🤩💵🤑
I’ve always flown on United and in my personal opinion they’re the best airline ever that I’ve never had a problem with them
Unless he ment isn’t that’s a an airbus
Please do Indonesia AirAsia vs Lion Air Indonesia
You should compare the same planes and routes regional versus mainline can’t compete
How*
I find the biggest reason that Delta outperforms its local competitors is its investment in technology generally over the others.
Video idea:SOUTH AMERICA AIRLINES
eric is the best airline reviewer!
I agree
TRUEEEE
I'd point out that your flight, YYZ-EWR departing @1045 isn't actually a United flight.
I assume your flights number was 3648?
That was operated by Republic Airlines, under contract for United.
And the airplane was an E-175. The employees are separate from UA.
Me waiting for that one reviewer to say "United broke my guitar"
compare plane for plane or hub to hub.
Video Idea: Best VS Worse North American low cost carrier
For the next comparison can you do jet2 Vs easyjet
Video idea: Fly in Iberia’s A321XLR
will do
@@ericstruk Thank you! I would like to see how flying on the A321XLR feels like
