Might just be different ways of thinking but to me the door is to have privacy from other pax not a signal to the crew that I dont want any services. That's what the DND button is for IMO. Sorry but opening the door as a signal that I'm done with my course seems silly. Part of good service is knowing how long a person may take to complete a course and checking in after an appropriate amount of time and for refills of beverages even mid-course if needed without being too in your face. I know this is about EK F but even on QR, I board and shut the door- crew still comes by to ask for my PDB, brings the PDB opens and then shuts the door. Also, what about the vast majority of aircraft where there aren't cameras? Suites have definitely pre-dated cabin cameras

This was my point. The DND button and light on the exterior door exists but it seems everyone here uses the door instead.

I think shutting the door is a huge inconvenience to the crew during meal service so never do. Again, we are all different.

Do those "bloggers" pay for their tickets? Do they tell the crew that they will be filming?

And anyway food at such an altitude isn't the same as on land.

I am grateful to be able to fly F and am happy with whatever they provide. As long as the crew is nice and respectful, am fine.

I don’t think luxury is formulaic, and I don’t think it has tenets. I accept I’m not flying on a private jet and EK can’t adapt to meet every single passenger’s needs, but my general experience on EK F is non-intrusive, and I prefer it that way. There are other airlines that are more hands-on, and I accept that some people like that. Not me.

Again, just your opinion mate. Not saying you’re wrong. Simply saying you cannot speak for us all. But thanks for breaking it to me 🙂

Tenets, not tenants

There are some decent flight reviewers on YouTube, in no particular order:

• DennisBunnik Travels - The guy usually has some quality Aussie humour during his reviews and I find he is generally fair with his reviews.
• Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas - This British based creator does a lot of rail as well as flight reviews. Again he comes across as pretty fair.
• Vicarious Voyager - This reviewer is based in Canada and making flight reviews isn't his full time job. However the amount of work he puts into the videos is pretty impressive compared to a lot of folk who do this full time.

I agree that there are a lot of really awful and cringe inducing YouTubers who are making videos to go "viral" or have millions of subscribers, but you can tell their content these days are just PR content for airlines, who have quite obviously invited them on board to do a "review" to their millions of subscribers.
