9:00 this flight attendant deserves a GOLD MEDAL, it's eating time and the passenger in front did not pull forward their chair, and she made them pull it forward in order to be considerate to those behind them... WELL DONE

[@hp5587]

actually it seems like Korean Air's manual. flight attendants always make passengers to pull their seats forward during meal service on Korean Air flights.

[@theriverStarCraft]

Almost all airlines I've been on does this. Nothing out of the ordinary? I've seen the crew asking passengers to put their seat upright for Malaysia airlines, aeroflot, ANA, Qatar, s7, Singapore

[@mguti562]

Josh, I totally agree with you. After flying with Korean Air, I'm spoiled for life. From check in to arrival they provide the best service. I've flown only economy class on many different airlines and they fall short. I love how they help parents out when kids are tired and crying. I have never seen any other airline do this. It so sweet to the crew picking up babies and walking around with them to give parents and passengers a break. Especially in those L.A- Incheon flights

[@29laurabell]

I flew from Brisbane Australia to Atlanta with Korean air and i loved it! Staff were amazing and the food was great, would definitely recommend them!

[@RL69231]

Just flew on Korean Air from ORD-ICN-BKK and DPS-ICN-ORD on economy recently and let me tell you it's been my top 3 best flights ever. Cabin crew were amazing! Food was delicious and the cabin very comfortable.

[@TonyEbikemeJr]

That was pretty cool. That's the first time I've seen cabin crew tap the person in front to put their seat up while someone was about to get served.

[@jamesannis7217]

Hi Josh, the fan blades are just moving with the wind. Power on the ground is provided by either the auxiliary power unit (APU) which is a small jet engine in the tail of the aircraft or by a ground power connection. At this stage of the flight though it’s likely the ground power is connected as this is always preferable for environmental and cost reasons. Normally the APU is used to provide bleed air to start the engines so this is normally started before engine start at which point the ground power is disconnected.

[@BonkersAboutAlice]

The part of all your vlogs that always make me smile is when you are waiting to see who/what is sitting next to you.

[@martinandleesmith9609]

We've had 8 trips on Korean air: Asia, Middle East and London. It's hard to fault perfection....amazing cabin crew, aircraft cleanliness, IFE, in-flight cuisine is varied and interesting. KAL for us every time.

[@dtw777]

I've flown Korean Air twice (once on their A380s, to date my only A380 flight). I agree their crew is impeccable both in appearance and mannerisms. The catering is often really good, especially their bibimbap, and I especially appreciate the extra legroom that they normally have in comparison to other airlines. The only thing is that their IFE could be updated slightly.

[@TheRealMarkyPizzle]

Awesome video and congratulations on reaching a milestone of subscribers. Haven't flown korean before looks like the service was exceptional and the crew very attentive

[@ericr2409]

For some reason I always had a big interest in Korean Air. It's a great airline, absolutely great service (only BC experience) When flying to that side of Asia I always enjoy to have a stopover at ICN. Usually it's also cheaper than a direct flight from Europe to Japan for example!

[@solotrip]

Great channel.❤ I'm always watching. Please take a look at my channel too. This channel introduces solo trips to Japan and Asia. Please take a look.❤

[@jater10]

The logo and livery of Korean Air is my favorite of all airlines.

In general, Koreans are very obsessed with aesthetic and being Asians, it's all about serving and polite + humble service while being Asian. Hence, Asian airlines - well, in general.

[@jcspotter7322]

4:20, that's just the wind, the aircraft has a separate engine called the apu that keeps the electronics such as a/c and such running while it's on the ground

[@stevehofmaster7489]

Excellent video I've never flown Korean Air hope to sometime.

[@feran2990]

I'm not sure but I think that other than the apu there Is the ground power unit, which also keeps working the electronics inside, please correct me if I'm wrong

[@feran2990]

@Max Verstappenotareal I think so

[@hej1383]

yep, it’s also there to keep the avionics on

[@ldus]

4:10 It's called windmilling and it is 100% wind, there are no other factors involved.

[@flymilad93]

fan blades are spinning just because of the wind :) you can even make them spin by hand thanks to the bearings, keep up the nice flight reports !

[@tomwhite1734]

Hello Josh, firstly congratulations on over 200k subscribers! I do follow your travels and videos a lot, and the main reason why I think your the best aviation vlogger , is because of your passion for travelling , and your willingness to share your travels, and most importantly your clear honesty, plus you describing the crew on board your flights and the service they provide which like anyone is vital part of their journeys. Keep up the excellent work pal !

When I was five and we would taxi through LAX I’d always say “look at the Pepsi plane!” 🤣

[@danielkim7841]

Yessss. It looks so similar to Pepsi cola logo! Omg!

[@Dr_Shin]

hahaha you were so cute! I probably would have thought of the same thing if I were born in the States.

[@GayanranjithRanjith]

Korean Air Logo is similar to thair flag and it has a meaning behind it.

[@MrMoccachinoo]

Wow! I thought i was the only one thinking of Pepsi, every time I see a Korean Air Plane 4:15 the blades were rotating because of the wind. For electronic modern Airports have a ground cable, otherwise the APU (Small auxiliary engine in the tail of the aircraft) is used. The interesting thing here: As the fan is rotating very fast, building up huge kinetic energy, it has to be perfectly balanced to reduce stress on other components (and safe fuel). So, although the fan blades are quite heavy, they're so perfectly balanced, that you can start rotating them with your little finger. And so of course does the wind when hitting the very aerodynamic surface.

[@Czech801]

Excellence Inflight. Korean Air. From the heart of Seoul & beyond.

[@sightsandsoundsofaviation]

Precisely the same meals as in the early 90s on KE from Seoul to Narita. They also were famous for their Hamburgers.

[@Buessiman1980]

Hi Josh The fan is just milling still on ground due to the wind. This efect is also called „Windmilling“ With best regards from Switzerland Patrick

Korean Air is totally a under estimated airline! Economy is way super in terms of space and food and crew interactions!!

[@adam.dzwoniarek72]

I’m flying with these guys from Madrid to Seoul next spring. Hope they live up to my expectations. Thanks for this nice review, Josh.

[@chrisjones9898]

I have just 8 flights on Korean Air in my log book, but every one of them have been fantastic. The crews are pleasant and attentive, the food is excellent. I've got 3 options from my home airport to ICN. Korean, Asiana and Delta. I will ALWAYS book Korean before Delta. I haven't flown Asiana, so I can't comment on them. The economy class product is superior and the leg room alone is worth a higher fare in my book. But then again, for long haul, I will always pick a non-US carrier if it is an option.

[@Flying_Gamer76]

I've been to Korean air once and it was a connecting flight. The service was great the in - flight meal tasted very good but we kept some of the snacks. (such as bread, butter, and brownies)

[@kyleengelson8403]

Flew Korean round trip in economy from SEA - HAN in January. By far my favorite economy experience I have had to date for both legs. Very consistent and well above average service. The Bibimbap on the long haul flight is simply the best meal in economy! The departure times out of Seattle do mean afternoon connections in Seoul so my only complaint is that Korean’s schedule out of Seattle makes for a very long travel day(s) if you are continuing further south.

[@feingeistmaik650]

Hey Josh, I went to Jeju this November and absolutely loved it...I flew with KoreanAir from Gimpo and can recommend it a lot...please try it if not already done... :) best wishes from cold Germany....brrrr.... ;)

[@ashokiimc]

it was due to wind, the power for lights in the cabin and the air conditioning is provided by the Auxilary Power Unit (APU) which is like a small engine in the plane's tail.

Josh, I'm doing the reverse in June. Flying the A330 to ICN from Narita and the 747 back--both in Economy class. Thanks for the preview because it was very helpful. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.

[@timcain946]

Josh, On another KZbin aviation channel (High Pressure Aviation Films probably), I heard a comment from a pilot that explains seeing those fan blades rotating. The pilots in that video were taxing a bit slower than they had to meet the minimum required time for "engine cool down" after landing. The engines have to run slowly and idle for a given amount of time in order to properly cool down after landing. (Like a cool down period after a workout.) The engines are so hot just after landing that shutting them down immediately would easily damage the interior mechanics. That why I think the fan blades you saw were turning slowly at the gate.

[@Expat_Jimmy]

I absolutely love Korean Air. The Crew and service make the flight very enjoyable.

[@JetsonRING]

The fan blades spin freely, driven indirectly by the exhaust from the turbine engine hidden behind the hub of the fan. When at the gate and with the engines shut down, wind passing through the "pod" can turn the fan, just like when you blow air through a pinwheel or small fan. Newer aircraft use an Auxiliary Power Unit (APU) built into the aircraft to supply power to systems when the engines are shut down and to start the engines, older aircraft use a Ground Power Unit (GPU) built into a surface vehicle to do the same jobs. If the engines are started at the gate they are probably using GPU, if you are pushed back and the engines started out on the ramp they probably use APU.

[@labocaman]

the plane just arrived, it takes a while for the blades to stop spinning, the wind will only move the blades just a bit. For any other electronics to be on while the plane is on the ground it uses ground power and sometimes the APU. Also I believe I counted a 2-4-2 configuration, and you said 2-3-2.

[@klaseriksson7106]

I experienced doing automated immigration during departure from Incheon. Incheon🇰🇷- San Francisco🇺🇸 leg on Korean Air was so relaxing because I had the exit row on their Boeing 777-300ER.

[@pokemonguy6579]

They rotate because of the breeze, Josh. The APU (Auxiliary Power Unit) is running cabin/cockpit power... The APU is basically a small jet/turbine engine power generator in the tail...
