Welcome back to the channel today I want to show you what you could expect from Azul Airlines
business class on their A330-900 Neo. This is flight AD8705 from Fort Lauderdale to Campinas,
Brazil; that's VCP for airline codes. It's about an hour and a half outside of Sao Paulo.
Let's take a look at the seat here. This is 3K, and what's interesting here now is that
odd seats with the exception of row one. With the exception of row one all odd rows are flushed to
the window and even seats are closer to the aisle. Here you have a very large in-flight entertainment
screen and here's the footwell. It's not the most narrow one but it is a little narrow. The
seat is a bit tight to get into but sleeping wise I got some decent sleep on it. The tray
table is underneath the in-flight entertainment screen and that just pulls out there as you.
You were given a blanket and a pillow just below my feet.
Here you have a little place you can put something, maybe a pamphlet.
Their is some storage space to your left side here that opens up. Here you have a moveable
armrest so in the down position it gives you a bit more room sleeping. There's the seat controls
and you have Azul branded headphones with an amenity kit.
You do have some more storage space here. There's the in flight entertainment remote if you choose
to use that; the screen is touch screen. There you can put something in there. If I put something in
one of these compartments I always set an alarm just to make sure I don't forget it
because it's easy to forget. Their is a coat rack up there. You do have two full windows to
look out of. Up here, that one's a little harder to look out of, but this one's convenient right
next to you if you want to take a view out of the plane. Here is another arm rest on this side.
There's the bedding. They give you pillow and blanket which were pretty comfortable. This
aircraft does not have individual air vents so you'll be at the mercy of the crew as far as how
comfortable the cabin is. Here's some power and that's to your left side with the power outlets
as well as the jack for the headphones. Let's take a look at the seat in the lay
flat position. I always like to do this obviously for you all so you can have an idea about it,
but also to make sure the seat works. Because if it doesn't you're gonna need to be moved. So it is
not bad in the lay flat position. I did get a decent amount of sleep in that position. I am 5'11
just for reference. Pre-departure beverages were served with the choice of champagne,
orange juice, or water. I'm going to leave you with the takeoff and the screaming
kid. I hope you enjoy that and I will be back to talk about the rest of the flight.
Okay let's take a look at the bathroom. We will get away from the screaming child
and notice the bathroom is pretty standard for this A330-900 NEO. Ther is nothing too
special except for the floor. If that looks familiar that's the tile that's
on the Copacabana in Rio de Janeiro, so that is a nice touch in the bathroom. So that makes it
a little unique. Here's a look at the menu. For the night I did end up going with the grilled
filet mignon The filet mignon was okay. I will show you the meal in a minute, it was a little
tough as far as the the meat goes. It wasn't that tender but overall the meal was decent.
Here's the breakfast option and the menu for wines and champagne as well, that's the same champagne
which was the one i showed you earlier for the pre-departure beverage. I didn't drink too much,
this is about a 7 hour and 20 minute flight so it's a shorter flight on a red eye
down to Campinas. Here's the red wine there and a glass of water. We were served some warm nuts
before the appetizer and entrée came out. Here is the the meal. There's the salad there with shrimp,
which was very good. Here's the filet mignon
with the rice, mushroom and vegetables. I found the vegetables and rice to be good but the filet
mignon was a little tough. For dessert just apple pie there, and that was good.
As far as the meal service goes in the morning so we got some orange juice;
the water was handed out before people started going to sleep. We have fresh fruit, which was
really fresh and just a piece of ham, turkey, and cheese. You have bread there also. Some yogurt
was passed out after that if you wanted it. Let's take a look at the in-flight entertainment screen
and again with these things I will leave it to you just to kind of watch to look through it. It's
pretty self-explanatory. I just like to show you that option as far as how it works and how you get
around it and so forth as well the options it has. I will be back with my final thoughts after this.
Welcome back and let me give you some of my final thoughts on this flight.
the seat is probably the strongest part of the flight. I was in seat 3K. Remember the
odd row seats with the exception of row one are flush to the window so they give you the
most privacy. The seat had a very smooth seat function with the one push lay flat. Some seats
I have noticed you have to kind of lean back to get the seat to go flat, but this one was very
good as far as one one push and you can just lay flat. These are the exact same seats as on
TAP Portugal's A330-900 NEO; so if you're ever flying TAP and you see something that
looks familiar you'll know that these are the same seats. Only in different color schemes.
There's no wi-fi on the flight unfortunately so you won't be able to stay connected.
I thought the food was mediocre to okay. I mean yes you can eat it; it's not inedible but at
least in my opinion I thought it was mediocre to okay. Service wise it was a quick service, kind
of an express service because this is a shorter red-eye flight from Fort Lauderdale to Campinas.
That was my experience on Azul flight AD8705 on the A330-900 NEO in business class.
