That's gotta be one of the most beautiful landing approaches I saw. The golden sunrise was so beautiful ❤️.
Flying to Greece must’ve been awesome. After all, Greece is the birthplace of the Olympics and Athens hosted the games in 2004. Well that and Greece is full of amazing history
I arrived to cairo at 11:40pm on 28 june 2023
Idk why but nowadays i feel so excited about flying with narrowbody aircraft, especially when the range is more than 5000 km+. In my country they still serve a widebody aircraft for a 800 km or 1100km routes even tho the plane is not fully booked😅
I've only flown Aegean a couple times and the flights themselves were fine, nothing remarkable…. the staff was BEAUTIFUL though.
Can you please take first class next time
Humus? ewwww
Aegean is just sooooo good
Simply aviation you make good aviation videos is there a chance for you to try the Iraqi airways new 787?
Im greek and GREECE IS THE BEST
For David Felix and Simon… Just a suggestion. I love your videos and watch as many as are sent.
Suggestion… Would or could you tell us how full your flights are all of the time? Not exact numbers but maybe like "completely full"," half empty", "empty" etc.I think people would be interested to hear how full the flights are that you are reporting on. Thank you.
Hi Felix!
The only good intra-European Economy class product left
On 9:46, that’s the government plane of the Netherlands pretty special you got that close to it!
the Greek full service carrier could seriously do with a fleet of 13 brand new B787-9 & 21 B787-10 wide body jets . . . as part of the airline's planned expansion to India, S.E. Asia & the Middle East . . .
Felix, in your opinion what is the make of the most comfortable economy seat for long haul? If you reply, kindly ignore IFE in your assessment.
Που είναιοι Έλληνες? 🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷
I flew with them a couple of weeks ago from ATH to MXP and was very impressed with them. My snack was a Box with 3 mini cheese pies and a cereal bar.
Word of warning to Aegean though – the previous time I got a free snack on a short-haul flight was on a flight from EDI to BHD with FlyBe…and they went bust a few months later… 😳
Fantastic trip report as always Felix!😸
Make a brutally honest episode of Air Algerie from Algiers to Dubai
I can't imagine anyone thinking a small commuter plane like the a321 would qualify as being a Flagship…
In the commuter plane category, most people think the CRJ offerings from Bombardier and ARJ ones from Embraer are vastly better than the a321
His flight was A3931
Greece must be so awesome to visit, with all the art and foods.
That was a very quiet take off. We've come a long way in avionics and quieter and more efficient engines.
Great to see flight reviews from cairo or to cairo. Also great to see agean, would like to see aeroflot from russia to cairo if you could❤
Great flight
09:47 nice view of the Dutch government plane
How do you get to travel this much? Please explain. This is an honest question.
Flew with them FRA-HER in September 2022 and can't report anything bad either.
The reason for such food service aboard not only Aegean, but also Turkish Airlines is this shared sense of hospitality to guests. It's called philoxenia in Greek (φιλοξενία) and misafirperverlik in Turkish. It would be anathema to our peoples not to feed our guests. And that was one incredibly stunning sunrise greeting you on your landing in Athens.
Plz make video on Indigo Airlines new Boing 777-300 er
Before the pandemic, aegean even offered hot meals. I hope they will return any time
Great trip report
Is that a life jacket I see on the floor? Pretty odd for a brand new aircraft.
nice sunrise on landing
I'm also flying to Greece with Aegean soon (night flight), will the lights stay on during the whole flight?
welcome to Athens and thank you for flying with our national airline.We are very proud of them
If you are running out of ideas, you have not reviewed Albawings, you have not reviewed Air Albania, you have not reviewed economy on the American 737, and you have not reviewed a long haul flight on the Eurowings Discover A330.
I am speak in sapanish pleas
"Cairo´s airport isn´t the best, but it works" … shows a treadmill not working 😂
Nice interior not gonna lie,good service too, but I'd prefer bigger windows like the one on the A220's. Thanks for the video
