What Creators Are Saying

Selected quotes from our creator panel.

The Good

β€œIt was overall just a really fun flight experience, and one that was 100% worth the price I paid.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œGlobal Entry. This might just be the most valuable travel purchase that I've made over the last year.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œFor someone like myself who does make relatively frequent trips to the States, both purely for holidays, but also for making flight reviews for this channel, for me, Global Entry is an absolute no-brainer.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œIn first class, I've so far always found this to be absolutely fantastic. Attentive and friendly crew who check in regularly”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œThe service throughout the flight was absolutely fantastic. Very friendly, attentive, efficient.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels
The Watch-outs

β€œLet's face it, nobody loves a longhaul economy flight.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œThe seats were about as bad as any other budget airline, but worse than some.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œOf the three premium McGomery flights I've flown over the last few months, BA was the least impressive.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œThe lounge experience was overcrowded, overheated, and overall pretty average.”

✨CasualCharles On Travels

β€œThere was a real lack of proactive service from the crew primarily, I think, due to the fact that there was no dedicated premium economy crew.”
