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!

I looove the ground crew wave and bow as one leaves. It is such a beautiful gesture.

[saahilhasan]

Really like the new format and the fonts. Keep up the great work Kevin!

[ybing]

u really can't beat the 787 window size, finally got a chance to fly on one last week

[spinalcrackerbox]

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.

The arrangement of those seats in the lounge reminds me of a classroom

[jitkasemt.]

I like HUD graphic for flight info. You always have a new thing for us

[Hulksmash]

You are so detailed love it keep up the good work

[markprovan]

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.

[DeniseSommerRoque]

The ground crew waving is just 🥹 Japan, one of my favourite destinations ❤

[BRTripReport]

Wow a trip report on Korean Air! I heard they were very strict about filming on board. Great video and thanks for sharing!

[walnutinvestment]

Can’t wait to see what happens on the Seoul - Singapore flight. Korean Air is known for hospitality, cannot imagine what could go wrong.

[taewonhwang]

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.

I'll be flying with Korean Air in a few days (long haul) would love to have a spoiler about the thing you talked about at the end Kevin :P

[gregorybaker]

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.

[gregorybaker]

Flown them premium 60 times and were great.
Loved the fact they rarely upgrade hence less pax.

[exynos]

2:47 As a Korean, I found this part hilarious (you're absolutely right). The Morning Calm thing is a status that you can have with Korean air if certain conditions are met. It gives you things like access to priority checkin, free additonal luggage, limited number of free lounge access etc.

As far as I'm aware, Korean Air did phase out those silly (and frankly insulting) First class on business seats. Current Korean first classes are only operated on extremely select routes with newer suites. Even then though, I personally think that Korean Air's premium cabins are simply not worth it.

[geetsawhney]

Finally a Business Class review for an international flight. After so long!!!! 👍

[axios]

Very nice video.... sadly You have switched to Korea too early.... 😆

A suggestion: what about "deluxe" Japanese ferries reviews???

[jaypainespotter]

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.

[brilliantbutblue]

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 👍
