You incorrectly tagged the freight terminal as Terminal 4 at Changi. FYI

[nathanr]

Wow! Your coming out with such good videos every time it’s so amazing! Also I hope your having much fun travelling the world as I can sss!

Thank you for the very thorough review

[ftxaviation]

I do miss seeing the Qantas 747-400 in Australia. Good to see a 747-8 review, keep up the good work.

Another awesome review, Hugo!

It’s great that you’re getting the opportunity to review more and more international flights and different airlines. Shame this Korean air 747 does not fly to Australia! ✈️

Hi I’m a new viewer to this channel and im really enjoying watching ur channel because I’m dead crazy with my obsession with aviation! 😅☺️

[Levi-urc]

Ngl i would love it if you had a view of the 2 engines and not just the wing. Also if you could explore the plane or be able to be on the top deck would make for an amazing vid!

[maquiladoraable]

I appreciate your videos and your attention to detail. A few points which you could improve: double check your narration for redundancy (e.g. elaborately explaining why it was roughly but not precisely 2.5min to get through security at Changi.)
Point two: if you use photos (for food service for example) make sure your soundtrack is continuous. The viewing experience becomes slightly disjointed when you splice in photos and cut out the audio suddenly.
All the best on your endeavors!

The legroom was amazing. I had a bad experience with Korean Air in the past, 8 years ago. The turbulence were almost 8 hours on a 12-hour flight... That's very scary, and since then I haven't flown more with them. But now, I feel like it's time to give KE another try, because I want to fly on both their A380 and B747-8i

[xniqsufix]

Crazy how I was on the same flight as you! you flew on the 8th of September right? 😅 The 748 is a surreal experience for sure 🤟🏼

Great to get on board the B747. Queen of the skies. Have done it with all the classics 747 100, 200, 300 including more advanced 747-400. Missed out on the 747 SP and 747-8 something on my books. But I liked the DC 10 and the L1011 better now gone. TE Air New Zealand DC10 Big 10. TWA Lockheed L-1011.

Great days.

Ansett 727.

Nice trip report! When you fly other airlines in economy you realize how below average qantas are.
If only qf a380 had legroom like KE

[quentincador]

Nice video. Huge like. I took exactly the same aircraft last year from CDG to ICN...i really enjoyed the 12 hours flight. It was comfy in economy. I made some videos in my channel. It was my first 748 flight.

[gunvaldsandhaland]

I Havent Experience B747-8 Jet.But Have A Lot Off Fligth On B747-400 Whit Qantas, KLM, Virgin Atantic And Briitih Airways.Great Video And Info
