it can be looked for a fraction of the

00:31

price so we are super excited to see how

[Music]

00:57

Dhabi if you're new here our life hasn't

01:00

always consisted of fancy first class

01:02

flights even though many people in the

01:04

comment section have speculated that

01:06

we're trust fun kids that is

01:07

unfortunately not the case we started

01:09

this Channel 8 years ago when we had

01:11

$35,000 saved up and the plan was to go

01:13

travel the world until the money ran out

01:15

and I hesitate to suggest this but if

01:17

you really want to you can actually go

01:19

back and watch the adventure from day

01:20

one but just be warned as far as camera

01:22

work and editing goes it was a rough

01:24

start car's not really into the whole

01:26

vlogging thing before she has coffee we

01:29

were totally making it up as we went but

01:31

that playlist will be linked below it's

01:33

called start from the beginning if you

01:34

want to watch camer shy baby version of

01:36

Karen Nate that's your place even though

01:38

we started on a very strict budget we've

01:40

always been a little fancy when it comes

01:41

to Flying because I've been playing the

01:43

miles and points game for years now so

01:45

before we left to go travel I had

01:47

applied for 22 credit cards and saved up

01:49

over 2 million miles and points and uh

01:52

we're obviously still playing the miles

01:53

and points game now but that first year

01:55

we redeemed almost all of our points for

01:57

free economy flights because the goal

01:58

was to stretch it as far as possible so

02:00

we could stay on the road longer I

02:02

explained all of this at McDonald's in

02:03

Bangkok on a tray it's kind of become

02:05

like an iconic video it's really bad we

02:08

earned 25,000 SBG points but during 2016

02:12

we splurged on one business class flight

02:14

you see before we left to go travel we

02:16

both sat down to make our original

02:17

bucket list and at the very top of my

02:18

bucket list was trekking to ever space

02:20

camp I don't know why I just thought it

02:22

would be the most epic adventure ever

02:24

and even though she wasn't convinced

02:25

Cara agreed to go on a twoe hike where

02:27

we had to burn Yak poo to stay warm the

02:29

trip ended up being epic we have

02:30

lifelong friends from that trip it was

02:32

amazing but at the time to thank her I

02:34

decided to burn a large stash of our

02:36

miles and points on the longest business

02:38

class flight we had ever taken flying

02:40

from Nepal all the way to the US in

02:42

Qatar business class that was one year

02:45

before the Q SS came out but picture

02:46

this two broke Backpackers who counted

02:48

every single penny who had just

02:50

completed the biggest physical challenge

02:52

of their entire lives being put on an

02:54

airplane for 12 hours where all the food

02:56

and drinks are completely free let's

02:58

just say we made the most of it and and

03:00

to this day it lives in my head as one

03:02

of the best flights of our entire lives

03:04

so needless to say after 7 years of

03:06

waiting we are so excited to finally get

03:08

to try out Q

03:10

[Music]

03:12

sweets we made a quick stop at the

03:14

quantis business class Lounge for a

03:16

glass of champagne and then it was time

03:17

to head to the gate that is going to be

03:19

our home for the next 15

03:22

[Music]

03:24

hours thank you so we were watching our

03:26

first time on guitar last night and I

03:28

believe this is where the happy day

03:29

originated let's see if she still got

03:31

[Music]

03:33

it I feel like I've

03:40

got this is crazy for business class

03:44

beautiful business classes I've ever

03:45

seen Marvel this is just as good as I

03:48

hoped it would

03:51

be the C configuration in Q sues is

03:54

super interesting because right now

03:56

we're facing backwards so we're going to

03:57

be flying backwards the entire time and

03:59

then the next row faces forwards and

04:01

then they alternate and somehow that

04:03

allows them to put way more seats in the

04:05

plane but it also gives you this super

04:07

private feel we chose seat 1 F and 1e

04:10

which are the first two middle seats in

04:12

the plane and the reason we chose to

04:14

face backwards for the entire flight is

04:16

because the seats that face forward have

04:17

like a bigger divider in the middle and

04:19

these are right beside each other so

04:20

they're made for flying together so when

04:22

they turn these into beds it's basically

04:24

a double bed both of our feet have to go

04:26

in these foot Wells but outside of that

04:28

there's pretty much nothing separating

04:29

yes it's almost like the Singapore Suite

04:32

almost it's always a little painful to

04:34

give up the Window Seat but to be able

04:35

to sit side by side for the next 15

04:37

hours was totally worth it and if I

04:39

can't have a window seat then a tell Cam

04:41

is the next best thing I'll pull up the

04:43

other angle on my screen and

04:46

the wow is you even working

04:49

out

04:52

no no that one looks small this one

04:54

looks big just yeah

04:58

cheers also have a choice of Champagnes

05:01

in business

05:02

class double cheers they've given us our

05:05

pajamas which I'll be putting on a St

05:08

after takeoff we have a drink menu and a

05:10

food menu to look at I'll open our

05:12

amenity kit once we take off in addition

05:14

to giving you a full

05:17

tour So

05:21

Co not the sest take off but we're

05:24

appreciating this together we just sat

05:25

on a train for 96 hours I bet we could

05:28

do the same thing with the spite of we

05:30

being

05:31

honest you're so right just keep doing

05:34

laps around the

05:40

world okay we are officially at cruising

05:43

altitude they've brought us our

05:45

beverages that we ordered I got the Aged

05:48

Bordeaux 2014 plus some roasted salted

05:52

nuts okay I just have to say it they're

05:54

not warm they're not warm nuts our

05:56

flight attendant has not come by to put

05:59

this back down yet this had to be raised

06:01

for take off it can even go up to here

06:06

actually I would think that this would

06:08

make it feel like a lot more crammed but

06:10

I still think this is one of the best

06:13

most spacious seats I've ever had on an

06:15

airpl so we'll push this back down for

06:17

now and just pretend this isn't here

06:20

okay so starting in the front of our

06:22

suite we have obviously so much light

06:25

room but I will say as far as storage

06:28

goes for Purp personal belongings

06:30

there's not a ton of space personally I

06:33

would prefer it this way it's just very

06:35

open technically you're not supposed to

06:37

put stuff on your foot rest during

06:39

takeoff and Landing but I snuck a few of

06:41

my things on my foot rest there's so

06:43

06:52

water bottle oh wow that's the prettiest

06:54

06:55

fit a few other little things up here

06:57

above the footrest we have the tray

06:58

table which has a hidden button beneath

07:00

it it took me a while to figure out how

07:02

to open it and then look how gigantic it

07:04

is we'll put that away for now oh you

07:08

have to press the button to put it

07:10

07:25

table we have the TV I don't know how

07:27

many inches it is but it feels like one

07:28

of the biggest TV we've ever had lots of

07:30

fun little features on it like all the

07:32

different camera angles that we showed

07:33

during takeoff lots of good movies can't

07:36

wait like I think I could watch at least

07:38

three on this flight beneath the TV we

07:40

have the USB port number one and an HDMI

07:44

port so if you your computer and you had

07:46

07:48

07:51

a second screen if you're working and

07:54

over here we have an actual outlet and a

07:57

second USB port above Outlet there's

08:00

another little storage space where I

08:01

have my phone and look at all of these

08:04

08:07

08:09

08:12

08:14

panic button turns out D and D just

08:15

08:19

this like eating position and apparently

08:24

posture when you eat cuz when I pressed

08:25

it it just moved my seat to be straight

08:28

up and down

08:30

08:32

reclines where your eyes are perfectly

08:35

in line with the

08:37

television obviously there's a lie flat

08:40

button where the seats lie completely

09:40

does it say for the body it says for the

09:43

body oh it's so nice wow I'm going to

09:46

put this actually all over my body next

09:48

up we have nourishing lip balm which I

09:52

have nourishing balm for the

09:55

lips next we have E de toilet

10:01

natural spray like a toilet spray surely

10:04

it's not poop

10:13

spray people are going to take you did

10:16

that on purpose but I promise you did

10:22

not it smells so strong too last but not

10:27

least socks branded eye mask and

10:32

earplugs everything in this amenity kit

10:34

is lovely I'm very excited about it all

10:36

but I have to say I'm a little

10:38

disappointed because there's one thing

10:40

that they don't have and that is brush

10:43

back in 2016 I opened my amenity kit and

10:46

they had this really fun brush that

10:48

folded in half it was comb on one side

10:50

brush on the other side and I kid you

10:52

not I still have it real quick we want

10:54

to say a massive thank you to Surf shark

10:56

for sponsoring this video and continuing

10:57

to support our Channel most most of the

10:59

time when you see us flying business or

11:00

first class we're doing it with Miles

11:02

and points but every once in a while

11:03

when we find a good deal we might pay

11:05

cash so the video can be more

11:06

interesting and sponsors like surf shark

11:08

allow us to do this so thank you surf

11:09

shark for giving me the opportunity to

11:11

not spend 15 hours in economy if you

11:13

haven't heard me talk about surf shark

11:14

before it is the best VPN on the

11:16

internet VPN standing for virtual

11:18

private Network as you can tell it's a

11:19

little loud in here I'm in an airport

11:21

we're constantly traveling through

11:22

airports to new hotels and connecting to

11:24

the public Wi-Fi in those spaces and

11:26

public Wi-Fi can be a gold mine for

11:28

hackers but it hasn't been a problem for

11:30

us for the last 8 years and a big reason

11:32

for that is because of surf shark

11:34

because a VPN encrypts all the data sent

11:36

between your computer and the internet

11:37

so that no one can steal your sensitive

11:39

information but the good news is a VPN

11:41

isn't all serious it can also be fun too

11:43

because you can use it to change the

11:44

virtual location of your computer which

11:46

will give you access to completely new

11:48

content libraries depending on what

11:50

country you place your computer in if

11:52

you don't already have a VPN were

11:53

obviously a little biased and highly

11:55

recommend surf shark but it is the only

11:57

VPN to offer one account for for

11:59

unlimited devices plus if you use our

12:01

code carot and Nate you can get 3 months

12:03

for free and there's a 30-day money back

12:05

guarantee so there is no risk to try it

12:07

out to get started just click the link

12:09

in the description below or scan the QR

12:11

code here thanks again to SEF shart for

12:13

continuing to support this channel we

12:14

massively appreciate it we also really

12:16

appreciate it when you show support to

12:18

our sponsors thank you I love these salt

12:23

and pepper shakers we have a candle

12:25

light obviously it's not a real candle

12:27

because we're on a plane but what

12:29

a great Vib Setter I mean this changes

12:32

everything I've just been served an

12:34

unexpected am Mo BGE of lobster with

12:37

caviar I think this is the first time

12:40

that we've ever been served caviar in

12:42

business

12:45

cross it's no imran's first caviar but

12:48

12:50

12:52

12:54

B I don't know what thank you I'm

12:57

starting with the Arabic Mesi spicy

13:00

hummus olives shashido peppers and feta

13:03

honestly if this was my meal I would be

13:06

happy but this is just the beginning

13:08

there are few things more relaxing in

13:10

life than settling in for a nice meal

13:13

and a movie on an airplane where you

13:15

have no internet connection and just

13:17

relaxing I'm finally getting to watch

13:19

Barbie after all the hype oh scandalous

13:24

13:27

eating and watching movies

15:08

earlier and now it's finally time to

15:10

change out of my clothes and into my PJs

15:15

we have these drawstring Navy pants a

15:18

gray top with a lined v-neck that's a

15:21

first they even include a bag for you to

15:24

put your clothes while you're wearing

15:25

your jammies big fan of the PJs and the

15:29

frro oh my gosh they even have

15:31

toothbrushes in here and

15:36

razors so we came and offered to make

15:38

our beds and that consisted of putting

15:40

this little mattress topper thing on top

15:43

of our seat and then they added a

15:46

pillowcase to the pillow that we already

15:47

had at our seat feels very nice we also

15:51

each have a cute mini pillow and then we

15:54

have a blanket

15:57

ooh I like the like it a lot this brings

16:01

the coziness level up multiple notches

16:05

oh my

16:10

gosh made it till 8:00 p.m. so much

16:13

we're not sleeping we still have 10

16:14

hours left on the flight we going to get

16:16

a little sleep we'll see you

16:18

[Music]

16:23

soon

16:25

morning how' you sleep so good

16:33

somehow we have already been on this

16:34

flight for 12 and 1 half hours and it's

16:36

already time for

16:40

breakfast fried rice and Tofu for

16:42

breakfast don't mind if I

16:45

do nothing like fried rice and black

16:48

coffee at 5:00

16:50

a.m. 2016 Main wore these pajamas

16:54

confidently right off of this plane and

16:57

into the lounge and onto our next like

16:59

current version of me it's not jetlagged

17:01

enough to do that so back to my normal

17:03

clothes I am going to try to steal them

17:16

though Cara is 32 minutes away from

17:19

finishing the offenheim movie and there

17:21

are 29 minutes left in this flight and

17:23

it keeps showing these commercials for

17:25

guitar I will not get off this airplane

17:27

until I see what happens

17:29

they gave us chocolates

17:32

amen

17:34

seriously wow this is

17:36

crazy so

17:39

cool who you can see a smoke coming up

17:42

off the

17:43

wheels 15 hours later we have made it to

17:46

Doha and I have to say Hugh sweets lives

17:49

up to the

17:51

height

17:53

Museum this does not feel like an

17:55

airport lounge

18:00

uh I'm not sure what just happened

18:02

technically our next flight is in first

18:04

class so I don't know if all first class

18:06

passengers get special treatment or if

18:09

Nate and I are actually just getting

18:11

special treatment because technically we

18:13

had to get permission from qar Airways

18:15

to make this video so they know we're

18:18

here first of all there was a sweet

18:20

woman with a sign with her names on it

18:22

waiting for us when we deboarded the

18:23

plane nothing makes me feel fancier than

18:25

that and then she led us to this bus

18:28

that on the inside looked like a private

18:30

jet the bus brought us to the terminal

18:32

where we just walked in and she escorted

18:34

us all the way here to the first class

18:38

Lounge which feels nothing like an

18:41

airport lounge it feels like I'm in a

18:43

very fancy Museum where I don't belong

18:45

honestly 2016 Cara would be flipping out

18:48

and 2024 Cara is flipping out there are

18:51

these amazing like water features

18:53

everywhere multiple sit down restaurants

18:56

a full bar it's massive and it's all

18:59

free but best of all they have these

19:00

quiet rooms and they already reserved

19:02

one in our name the quiet room is

19:04

basically like a hotel room one twin bed

19:06

two twin beds a desk TV and the best

19:11

part in addition to the robes we have

19:13

our own private bathroom with a shower

19:16

so we could go sleep there for the next

19:18

6 hours but

19:21

nah I already had a coffee have myself a

19:24

glass of champagne and then believe it

19:26

or not we're going to leave this Lounge

19:28

we're going to come back but we have to

19:30

leave this Lounge for two reasons let me

19:32

show you

19:34

why okay reason number one is we have to

19:37

go visit the business class Lounge for

19:40

all time sake also you can't come to

19:42

Doha without seeing the giant teddy bear

19:45

that costs millions of dollars I still

19:47

think it's overpriced I don't understand

19:51

I just wonder like

19:54

why I cannot believe we're back I am

19:57

just flooded with memories right now

20:00

okay story time in 2016 when we were

20:02

flying home from Nepal we spent the

20:04

night in this Lounge we thought it was

20:05

the greatest thing ever there were

20:06

chairs that basically laid flat we could

20:09

not have been happier because there is

20:10

no way that we were paying for a hotel

20:12

also this Lounge has one super unique

20:14

feature that is the world's largest

20:17

indoor pond that's not true but it feels

20:20

like it the seats that we slept in were

20:23

over there and the bathrooms are over

20:26

there and the reason that's important is

20:28

is because neither one of our uh

20:30

stomachs were feeling well after having

20:33

been in a fall for a few weeks so I

20:35

would wake up in the middle of the night

20:37

with my stomach rumbling and need to get

20:39

to the bathroom really fast and all I

20:41

remember is just having to walk around

20:43

this giant Pond like 10 times in the

20:45

middle of the night to go to the

20:46

bathroom trust me it feels 10 times

20:49

bigger when you're about to poop your

20:51

pant I'm also just remembering that they

20:53

had attendance in those bathrooms that

20:55

would go in and clean every single time

20:57

after you used it and by the end of the

20:59

night it was just like so embarrassing

21:01

to have to go in there again and I just

21:04

felt so sorry for that

21:06

person train is arriving at North

21:09

Station so the other reason that we

21:10

talked ourselves into leaving the first

21:12

class Lounge was to come here and see

21:14

this indoor garden it's called The

21:16

Orchard it is a 100,000 squ ft tropical

21:19

garden built inside the airport I've

21:22

obviously taken a lot of inspiration

21:24

from Singapore's Changi Airport that has

21:26

the jewel with the big waterfall in the

21:28

middle this feels so much like being in

21:30

Singapore which is the best airport in

21:32

the entire world so that says a lot but

21:34

the really neat thing about this Garden

21:36

is that it's actually inside security so

21:37

to get to the big waterfall in Singapore

21:39

you actually have to go into the country

21:40

of Singapore where here if you're just

21:42

transiting through you can come here and

21:44

hang out in a tropical garden go to a

21:46

coffee shop shop at Chanel or Louis

21:48

Vuitton spend all your money you have

21:50

all kinds of options I think this is the

21:52

only Lounge in the world that has a

21:53

Louis Vuitton in the lounge over the top

21:56

it's honestly really hard to know where

21:58

to spin your time in this airport like

22:00

obviously the first class Lounge is

22:01

amazing and over the top and if you have

22:03

access that's where you should be but I

22:05

just found another business class lounge

22:07

and this one actually overlooks the

22:09

tropical garden like there's so many

22:10

amazing options when you're laying over

22:12

in

22:15

Doha

22:18

cheers this has to be the latest

22:20

espresso shot I've ever taken it's 1:00

22:23

a.m. here in Doha we're about to board

22:24

our last flight which will take us 1

22:27

hour to Dubai where will then take an

22:32

hour plus car ride no we're going to Abu

22:35

Dhabi and then the hour car right takes

22:37

us to Dubai basically no matter whether

22:39

our bodies think they're in the time

22:41

zone that they came from or the time

22:43

zone that we're in right now we should

22:45

not be awake by the time we get to our

22:46

hotel I know we flew business class and

22:48

we should be rested but we have this

22:50

problem where when we're flying in a lay

22:54

flat seat we feel like we should just

22:56

like stay up and make the most of it

22:57

which is what we tried to do and then we

22:59

got to this lounge and they put us in a

23:01

room that had these amazing beds and we

23:02

totally could have slept and been super

23:04

rested by the time we got to our final

23:06

destination but then we're just like

23:07

we're here we're in a first class Lounge

23:09

we can't sleep while we're in a first

23:10

class lounge and then we end up at our

23:12

destination just as tired as we would

23:13

have been if we would have flown economy

23:15

but it's a lot more fun 10 glorious

23:19

hours later it is time to board our

23:21

final flight to Abu Dhabi and we were

23:24

boarding from the first class Lounge we

23:26

don't even have to leave the lounge we

23:27

were walking straight

23:29

onto the

23:34

plane all right our last PL of this

23:36

multi-day trip 1 hour to Abu Dhabi oh

23:40

looking good I want to be good morning

23:42

yeah of course yeah is it morning yeah

23:44

it's morning it's 2 good morning enjoy

23:48

flight have a pleas flight with us thank

23:49

you

23:53

thanks this is amazing no regrets about

23:56

the double presso I just shot this is a

23:58

pretty insane seat for a 1 hour flight

24:00

it really doesn't matter what sit I'm in

24:02

because I'm definitely sleeping from

24:03

here to Abu Dhabi but to have a full lay

24:07

flat seat for an hourong flight is

24:09

ridiculous this might be the shortest

24:11

flight that I've ever been on we haven't

24:12

even taken off yet and it already says

24:14

37 minutes dby also this will give you a

24:17

little more appreciation for how much

24:18

privacy we had in our s

24:21

like incredible seat for 1 hour flight

24:23

but if we would have been on this for 15

24:25

hours you can see everyone else in we're

24:28

literally just going from here to

24:32

here lemon mint juice honestly the best

24:35

juice I've ever

24:37

had I don't know how many hours it's

24:39

been since we've been flying and eating

24:41

and drinking but kept clear all times

24:45

continues 37 minutes but we're going to

24:48

order something and we're going to eat

24:54

it

24:56

Che yes it is 2: a.m. and we're having

25:01

[Music]

25:08

Cal this is absolutely ridiculous a

25:11

white table qual and a full meal on a 37

25:14

minute flight starting at ababi now they

25:18

just said the down this is crazy welcome

25:20

to Abu Dhabi the local time here is 4:11

25:24

in the

25:26

morning 28 is hours later we have almost

25:31

arrived at our final destination still

25:33

have a little ways to go that was our

25:35

last flight for some reason it was

25:36

literally half the price to fly to Abu

25:39

Dhabi instead of Dubai so from here

25:40

we're going to grab our bags and then

25:42

get a

25:43

[Music]

25:47

taxi we made it it's a rough life flying

25:51

Q suits and hanging out in the first

25:53

class Lounge but honestly I am exhausted

25:57

if you enjoyed this video and you want

25:58

to see more flight review videos we

26:00

usually save the best ones for this

26:02

channel but we film the majority of our

26:04

flights and the ones that don't make

26:05

this channel go up over on daily drop

26:08

we'll link those down below if you've

26:10

never been to that channel before

26:11

there's probably four or five other

26:12

flight reviews over there that you might

26:14

want to go check out and if you're still

26:15

here and wondering what's next why we're

26:17

in the Middle East we'll give you a

26:19

little stink peek hello world honestly

26:22

if we just turned around and went home

26:23

now it was all worth it this is

26:25

everything that I hoped that it would be

26:30

wow that's insane all right let me show

26:34

you what's going on this tire here is

26:36

completely flat it's come off the rim

26:38

it's so flat like at this point I don't

26:40

even have an idea of how to fix this see

26:43

you next week from a much less

26:45

comfortable

26:47

bed by the way I'm not the biggest fan

26:49

of the Barbie movie I mean it was fine

26:51

feel like there was a lot of hype so my

26:53

expectations were very high maybe that

26:55

was the problem I'm sorry this is

26:57

probably very polarizing I feel like

26:58

like everybody loves

26:59

Barbie okay what else I think there's

27:02

one more thing down here

27:05

gosh I can't even open my eyes okay
