[@JamesSpazer]

2:34 That's me putting in engine oil at engine no 1! Flight 5Y517 Reg: N416MC!

[@brianlingg5518]

How much do you have to add on average?

[@dougbagby3493]

Whenever I fly I always thank the pilots (when possible) for a safe flight. I never take this part of travel for granted. My hat is off for all the training you go through to perform at such a high level of service. 감사합니다.

[@rmoorefla]

I know you put in a lot of long and exhausting hours, but you're so lucky to travel (company sponsored vacations) the way you do. Especially nice flying First Class when repositioning. Love your content, keep it coming.

[@estherinclouds]

thank you!! im glad u enjoyed😊

[@tra757200]

The more airports you have the opportunity to forget, the more hours you are flying and what could be better than flying the Queen all over the world.

[@estherinclouds]

thats true! very thankful to have that opportunity

[@enjoyj3534]

One of my favorite channel travelling all around the globe

[@estherinclouds]

Awwww stop it❤

[@terrydikkers4707]

Thank you for more a/c walk around, I do miss the old days. Stay warm it is winter.🥰

[@estherinclouds]

[@patjcarey]

I’m really enjoying your vlogs, they are a fascinating insight into a pilots life style. Be happy, be safe.

[@estherinclouds]

thanks!!

[@tryphonsoleflorus8308]

such a nice vlog ,Esther.I used to fly gliders and microlights.My love for Asia landed me in Bangkok.I now fly Asian destinations on Flight Simulator.5 years from initial to right seat 747 is amazing.Keep us informed about your amazing career,we love it.

[@estherinclouds]

appreciate it!!' 😊

[@francis105G]

Love Your Vlog!! Just wait till February when you do your walkaround inspection and it's Minus 40 degrees...Dress Warm

[@brianlingg5518]

That Korean Costco looked so good especially the marinated crab. We have whole apple pies at US Costco’s. I totally agree with flying out of LAX. We just made reservations to Asia and we are flying out of ONT even though it costs a bit more. Hope you like KL. It’s one of my favorite cities. So modern and English is widely spoken.

[@TriColorYazzy]

You have a really awesome gig!

[@speedimikey]

If I remember correctly, I heard Atlas Air is the 3rd most frequent airline in and out of ICN after Korean Air and Asiana. You should try the croffles 크로플 at the Oakwood breakfast, only reason I go to the breakfast there. Otherwise I go have 해장국 near by and it is the best 해장국 ever!!! Fly safe and enjoy.

[@estherinclouds]

Omg i love those croffles!!! Dip it in whip cream and condensed milk yumm

[@YANKYVICTOR]

What a lovely life! Happy and safe flying! 🔥🔥

[@estherinclouds]

😊thanksss

[@skycruiser777]

We'll be in Seoul for NY. Not looking forward to the weather. Love your videos!😊

[@AlPatricio-is9mp]

Hey Esther!! I❤ your channel! This was a GREAT episode😁! YES, you made me very hungry on this episode😋😂! It's great seeing all that delicious foods you eat in the different cities! I'm looking forward to seeing your upcoming Malaysia trip and maybe some of your BIG suitcases from BF shopping😂. Take care & keep up the great work!

[@mikeyriley8959]

I just went to ATI in Miami! It was great, they put us up at that Hyatt house. Our regular sim was out of commission

[@sergelee1879]

What a wonderful morning ❤

[@vincentlo812]

The colourful town is Phase 2 of Ma Wan Park. It's currently under renovation but will be opening to the public soon!

[@estherinclouds]

Oh yay thank yoi!! I was so curious

[@DukeRivers]

Sooo many good restaurants in HKG. I enjoyed the video. Keep up the good work.

[@gordonou7065]

There is nothing better than the classic Hong Kong breakfast.😊

[@shyammohabir8283]

Anchorage - looks COLD... I'm shivering here .. just thinking about it . Take me shopping in Incheon :) I enjoy your vlogs .. what is the "recurrent training?" maybe a vlog on it?

[@marvlesssmarvin]

12:10 Sounds amazing!

[@jefforjo]

Love the GE meatball spot light at 7:54 on the CF6 hahaa Sauce : was a GE Aerospace engine designer (GEnx-2B for the 747-8)

[@PilotLH]

I'd expect nothing less from you than eating 4 plates of food for breakfast.. 😂

[@Boeing767DriverAA]

Hey Esther Speaking Cardio early on in the video. What do you do as far as working out if at all during your layovers? How can you not love this girl. She's so awesome. Wish we had Costco in Korea when I lived there.

[@TB-um1xz]

We used to stay at the Marriott in Anchorage, semi nice location.

[@redskins5926]

Thanks for sharing your experiences! You're living my dream life :) I'm guessing the mountain at the end is Mt. Fuji?

[@estherinclouds]

yes!! Thats mt fuji

[@simonlam33]

You don’t need a bigger bag. Just load into container on your cargo flight! 😂

[@versasys]

My favourite food vlog, uh, I mean airline vlog. You are going to need more than ladder cardio to burn off the bakery, catering, buffets.

[@MohaAden-hv6im]

Which airline were u in before and why did switch and what is it like for ur type rating

[@dbching]

Welcome to malaysia. Feel free to claim your free cuppa drink and meals from us 😊 You’re living the exact same life as my aunt. The first female pilot and flight commander here. Glad to see you’re a good role model. Take care and safe flights

[@Natiff333]

17 days on and how many days off?

[@lotharen]

That last part would be Tokyo right? Mount Fuji-san.

[@estherinclouds]

Yess correct!

[@ooiks5397]

Hello from Malaysia, I love your videos ❤😊

[@estherinclouds]

hello!! I will be there very soon❤

[@tangfukman]

❤❤❤

[@cheneyrobert]

What temperature do you keep the cockpit during flight ✈️🤔🤔🤔

[@amongink]

Do all the pilots use the same bedding or does each pilot re-make the bunk with their own/new bedding?

[@estherinclouds]

No we all have our own' theres a whole stack in the linen closet!

[@kevinp8108]

Hi Esther! Are you currently a relief pilot? Do you get to perform take-offs and landings? I understand when you have less seniority, you're stuck being a relief pilot until you move up. Just curious! Thanks

[@brianlingg5518]

From what I have seen, she does both pilot flying and pilot monitoring. She just doesn’t film it.

[@blondejohn25]

a rare MD-11 sighting

[@myungbottle]

😊😊😊

[@tavieokolobi1185]

❤❤❤Nice❤❤❤

[@rahulvidwans8975]

How are you a 747 pilot at such a young age? Amazing!!

[@TB-um1xz]

Shortage of pilots. ACMI carriers like Atlas and Kalitta are not popular amongst pilots because of low pay, long hours, and poor QOL. A lot of pilots went to ACMI due to covid and when they was over, they went back to the airlines or went to FedEx and or Ups. So Atlas and Kalitta are hiring anyone that they can get their hands on.

[@popcorn32145]

Here before HD.

[@estherinclouds]

Oh noo hope u can watch it on 4k🥹

[@DiamondAviator4]

When will you film takeoffs and landings?

[@TB-um1xz]

The FAA would love that

[@DiamondAviator4]

@ Ahh yeah I felt the carcass. And I get that. Sorry I genuinely didn’t know. Sam Chui does it a lot.

[@Des-e8p]

yay esther in action 16.55 lol ask your boyfie buy you a gopro for xmas :)

[@estherinclouds]

I actually have his gopro! Dont know how to use it😂

[@SynicalDan]

You have a constant appetite and eat amazing things without limit. Maybe you have a tape worm or are still a growing young lady?😂

[@danielpoiuy2822]

u love flying to HKG or ICN more😊

[@estherinclouds]

that is really hard to say.... but atm i really like hkg!

[@HelloCameraV]

Can you please tell me what's your height?❤

[@kevinp8108]

I'm going to guess she's about 5'4".

[@HelloCameraV]

@kevinp8108 ok thanks😊

[@thedoricchong3521]

Goodness you can really eat! Dont you wish you have 2 stomachs sometimes haha

[@estherinclouds]

hahaha yes plz for christmas😂

[@fatdoi003]

can you please record your videos to at least 720p??

[@estherinclouds]

try refreshing!

[@fey.19]

How old is she again?????💀

[@kevinp8108]

In her earlier videos, she said she was a flight instructor in 2021 when she was 22 years old. That should make her around 25 or 26 years old.

[@fey.19]

@kevinp8108 thats crazy🔥

[@TB-um1xz]

​@fey.19 not really. Fairly common in the ACMI world, due to the type of flying.

[@kevinp8108]

@@TB-um1xz I'm assuming she's a relief pilot because she's new to her company and B747.

[@TB-um1xz]

@@kevinp8108 usually is senority based. You bid for a schedule and in that schedule has what seat you're sitting in. That is what it was like when I flew the 747 for 7 years.
