This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

Great review. Thanks, Kevin!
Wow a trip report on Korean Air! I heard they were very strict about filming on board. Great video and thanks for sharing!
Thank You ✈️
Great another review for Korean air! Which one do you prefer to fly with between Korean air and EVA airways?
What happened to the airport cards? I enjoy reading about population of city, biggest airline operating out of airport, etc. Please bring them back!
Maybe an unpopular opinion, but I actually like your old intro, and miss it.
캐빈님 안녕 하세요. 비디오 보다 당신이 더 궁금합니다 ㅋㅋㅋ
Really like the new format and the fonts. Keep up the great work Kevin!
I dunno. I have flown KE 3 times, including long haul to Las Vegas and regional to Narita. On all flights I found the crew not very warm. Fake smiles and a type of tension between themselves. I am a retired flight attendant, so I must admit I tend to observe the service flow intently. The service is good, food good, condition of the aircraft good, but I just don't enjoy the crew's vibe. Has anyone noticed this? Having said that, I would fly them again without hesitation.
Good to know that Korean Air also score's (high) points on the short-haul flights. Food is usefully very good. I always struggle to find a competitive price. Guess that's the mayor down side of flying KAL. Thanks again Kevin!
I'm still letting your new intro format sink in (although I don't love the font and animation used at the start and the intro), but what happened to the airport stats??? Otherwise fantastic review, I have missed the Business class reports, good to see one again after 3 months.
Do you have an Instagram account we can follow?
$1100 USD one way, or am I missing something?
I love the colours of Korean Air and their business class configuration, in addition nice touch leaving from Nagoya, never thought about that as a departure point. Cheers again for a great review.
I looove the ground crew wave and bow as one leaves. It is such a beautiful gesture.
From what I can see I'll go Prestige Class Suites later B777-3B5/er B74-8B5 B787-9 = Prestige Class Sleeper Seats A380 first batch B777-3B5/er > Prestige Plus seats B777-2B5/er. Enterainmentwise K-pop K-drama is available. Female voice on the safety video is Kwon Boa
Please come visit Fukuoka next time🇯🇵✈️
I have subscribed to your channel😄
I like HUD graphic for flight info. You always have a new thing for us
Nothing is worse than the Swissport Lounge at ORD.
your channel has amazing content, im just surprised to see why the growth has been quite slow for your channel.. and based on your views, i think u made around $1500-2000 in the last 30 days, wtf??? Meanwhile douchy lazy channels like "Luxury travel experts" are getting like $10-20k in the last 30 days. Some educated guess..
U have my full rooting for u. U have put full effort into ur videos, unlike him, i like ur personality and lightedness. Keep going!
I dunno if it helps or not, but major aviation channels all show their faces. U may think u look very average and feel camera shy, but i dont think u can tell me a single one good looking aviation youtuber either lol. So consider putting your face in at some point, the relatedness may help ur channel grow more, albeit, even more work for u
love ur work as always…ur my favorite aviation/hotels channel now
I have made up my mind and I really like the new intro. 👍
Now I can't wait for that next KAL video to show what happened.
Wishing you 100K subscribers by Dec. 31, Kevin.
Strange how they have a seperate Morning Calm lane… in Nagoya out of all places. 😂
Very nice video…. sadly You have switched to Korea too early…. 😆
A suggestion: what about "deluxe" Japanese ferries reviews???
Korean Air serves Brisbane and Sydney. A useful alternative via ICN to JFK or Europe.
The hotel conference room, l mean lounge 😉 looked very North Korean. Did you find out why that plane many touch and goes? That is an impressive amount of aeroplanes to have written off, glad to know they have improved their track record 👍
Can’t wait to see what happens on the Seoul – Singapore flight. Korean Air is known for hospitality, cannot imagine what could go wrong.
still no WIFI on KE/KAL?
Enjoying some of your new formats
yo can you review cathay soon?
Korean Air is a nice airline with good services. I just wish they change the cabin finishes. Their cabin looks more of a dentist room.
Unbelievable smog in Seoul!
Awesome review Just Subscribed. I just filmed a pre delivery flight of a Korean Air 787-9 at my home airport. Paine Field in Everett.
Finally a Business Class review for an international flight. After so long!!!! 👍
Was gonna mention this earlier this week, but I forgot. Regarding the seating area that divided first class and business class, Korean Air is on the verge of getting rid of first class since few years ago. Those 787 flight, I believe, was also ordered during that era. While they got rid of first class seating area, they have to continue the first class for VIPs and top tier frequent flyers. That is the reason behind having the exact same seat with different service(and area division).
By the way, I am surprised that you did not cover the Flight of Dreams, the area in NGO with a display of first B787 aircraft, Boeing store, and many Seattle-based restaurants. NGO is known for being responsible for 30% of B787 building, and that is why there is such establishment. Having the Flight of Dreams, as well as the runway and gate viewing public bath area, is the main reason that I love NGO, before even considering its vast dining options in 4th floor.
Nice video 🙂
Air doe 😅😅😅😅😅. Took me at least 5 secs 🤦♀️🤦♀️
Flown them premium 60 times and were great.
Loved the fact they rarely upgrade hence less pax.
KE has improved the culture in the last 20 years
I was in Pohang the day they lost an MD80 with no fatalities
I am aware some US cargo pilots cannot fly OZ as dead heading pax.
