Josh Pakistans LCC Fly Jinnah is starting its opreations from 1st November. Hope to see you you on the inagural flight

[@siwi666]

foot rub 😍😍😍

[@DarkStar3147]

Josh, please PLEASE review LATAM Airlines's economy class. From their customer service, to check-in, to their in-flight service. You may be in for a surprise.

[@nbntelevision1]

Commercial pilot here. Some planes have an “auto” setting for the seatbelt sign and it sounds like the flight crew left it in that position. After a certain amount of “turbulence” the automation flips on the sign. I don’t think we ever used it.

[@JoshCahill]

Interesting, I never knew that.

[@nbntelevision1]

@@JoshCahill I know nothing about the 330, but our CRJs auto would pop the light on if the flaps were out of 0 position, gear handle down, or below 10,000 feet. I surmise if that if this was the case on a much more sophisticated aircraft it would include accelerometers of some sort, but I’d have to see the systems description. Airbus tends to have a lot more automation and sophistication. Then again it could just be the company’s SOPs to flip on that light at the slightest hint and I could be flat wrong.

[@roib7781]

Where did you heard such thing ? AUTO position will simply switch ON/OFF below/above FL100 in case the crew didnt

[@nbntelevision1]

@@roib7781 Check any CRJ-700 Systems Description Manual.

[@roib7781]

@@nbntelevision1 Ohh CRJ... no such thing in Airbus though.

[@Phiyedough]

I would guess the curtain thing is so the cabin crew can keep an eye on the passengers. Their primary role is to ensure the safety of the passengers, serving refreshments etc. is a secondary function.

[@nintendoolivier600]

Love your videos Josh as a 13 year old age-geek, you and Noel Philips are my favourite.

[@Patric076]

I concur with you, Olivier. 😊

[@dospalmascb]

Totally agree Noel, Josh are fab. But I also like Paul Lucas.

[@dospalmascb]

@@charlesjay8818 yep Paul Lucas is great. It would be great to see a collaboration between all 3.

[@cbiasizzo]

Josh, your English is NOT "crap". Most people who's second language is English always think their English is terrible when it's not. I'm from the U.S and I find that most Europeans who come from non-English speaking countries actually speak English better than the U.S because they're using proper, old fashioned dialects instead of "y'all", "ain't", "gonna", etc etc etc. This goes to show that even North Americans don't know proper English. Your English is perfect and professional!!!!

[@anapaulatillman.6133]

Good point. I'm reminded of this when I hear Africans speaking English, using Victorian-era argot like "perchance" and "felicitously." These words put blank stares on the faces of most Westerners, but it's nice to hear. A reminder of when English was a little more refined and variegated. Funny how sometimes language gets twisted, and sometimes preserved like a fly in amber.

[@mediamaker]

@@anapaulatillman.6133 I hear similar old-fashioned style speech from Indians too. It is pleasant to hear but can take you aback if unexpected.

[@user-db7ox2kj4l]

Glad you enjoy being in Korea. Just FYI, KE alone flew 2 A380s and another 2 B77Ws to BKK pre-COVID. OZ operated 3 daily flights, TG another 5, and of course all host of other LCCs on the route. So it really is a busy segment

[@bonnie.k6200]

After watching this video, I also tried upgrading at the check-in counter on T-way about 2 weeks back from Singapore to Seoul. Each person was SGD300. They provided water, sleeping eye mask, foam ear plugs, slippers and blanket besides the meal (that’s on demand). Enjoyed the rest and woke up fresher upon arrival.

[@Hiro-eb4zx]

I suppose dine-on-demand is quite common in economy class among Asian LCCs for those who have pre-purchased. I once flew Denpasar to Tokyo with Air Asia (economy) and before take-off the crew asked if I wanted the meal after take-off or before landing.

[@paulturner2911]

Hey Josh, wanted to say I love your content, always well worth watching. Also, that T'Way A333 was originally destined for Air Asia X hence the cabin being identical as you mentioned. Keep up the great work!

[@r.d1130]

your happy face summarises it all!!! but good on them for being that professional. its really impressive and they do deserve to be acknowledged

[@TomGD]

One thing I do like about T'Way's A330-300, the economy class is still in a 2-4-2 configuration, which is really comfortable than traditional 3-3-3 in other budget airlines' A330.

[@joshuav9005]

Probably just because it’s a former Aeroflot plane 😂 still nice though.

[@jamesnakos2357]

great video Josh, I really wanna fly on T'way one day. T'way did a screenshot competition on flight simulator (vatsim) a year or two ago and my friend won a model aircraft!! Such a friendly airline who cater to everyone, including aviation enthusiasts.

[@isosthenie8271]

The crew not displaying "personality" is sometimes considered a good thing in Eastern Asia. They are not supposed to small talk or anything like that. On a flight catering to international passengers, this is of course done differently. Also, there is a feeling of shame if people cannot speak English in this region, as they do not want to offend you or lose face or are inexperienced in dealing with non-Asian folks. This is of course a really general statement and subject to exceptions. Yet it makes sense to keep this in mind when travelling the region.

[@jewjsjwishsb]

Josh, your so underrated! Keep going with these amazing videos.

[@HDjeff]

Josh! I have been watching you for years (born & raised near Boston) and not once have I ever thought your English wasn’t good, you are very well spoken and articulate and easy to understand - probably even more than myself. You should be proud of how well you speak, it is one of the reasons you are so loved on KZbin. ✌️

[@marcy1100]

The reason why there are many Thais traveling to Korea is. First, Korea is no visa needed for the Thai passport since it seems to be a vary first destination(in East Asia) open for Thai traveler post covid. Secondly, Many Thai labours work in Korea. The last one is young Thais love Kpop things. There are many Kpop concerts happening there days. lol I think that's why many BKK-ICN flights.

[@sainnt]

I recently had a 24 hour layover in Seoul, and I definitely have to go back. I also flew Korean Air for the first time, and the service was quite lovely.

[@blarfroer8066]

Korean Air also has some of the best seats on their wide-bodies and a very affordable, real business class on domestic flights.

[@thingi]

The open curtains during turbulence is a thing. I've encountered it a few times on various airlines.

[@skintclint]

I love watching your vids Josh. very informal, unbiased and you explain things like i see them please dont stop.

[@Yukis.aviation]

Josh great trip report once again! Since Japan just reopened, you should give Zip Air Tokyo a try, it’s a long haul lcc similar this one, and I’ve heard good things abt it

[@safferms]

I have travelled the world due my work & career. My favorite place 2 return 2 is CPT. The view is spectacular on a clear summers day. I get emotional whenever I return to Africa, especially my old home town. Been gone 30+ years and return to the Mother City with excitement each time I get 2. Another thing.....Dein Englisch ist nicht "crap". Es ist genau richtig.

[@Khadeejahraja]

What a lovely gem of a surprise video and new discovery. Thank you for showing us a new airline. And the video was very enjoyable. Regards from Saudi Arabia.

[@TravelSingFlyEnglishEdition]

Very nice to see THIS. However, Qatar Airways do offer slippers in business class. They're in the bag with the complimentary pajamas - and they're handed out on all flights longer than four hours basically. I just know so we'll see they were part of my Qatar giveaways a couple times already, every time I do a report on them. But again, as always, a really worthwhile airline report of yours. And so interesting to hear about dine on demand in Economy Class! Impressive. Hierher also really tough for the staff, thinking of a full coach cabin on an A330! (going BKK-ICN myself in a few months, and somehow I wanna see this airline now myself - seems like a nice experience, and a bit outside the box. Thank you!)

[@rabiulislam4453]

Watching your videos from 10th stander.Now I am a trainee pilot. Hope you will continue to provide us with such beautiful videos

Really enjoy watching your videos Josh! Keep up the good work!

[@ChiranthakaSampathJayakody]

It's always nice to hear a nice thing about Sri Lanka / Sri Lankan Airline under the current situation.🙂

[@LimChingLiang]

8:02 AirAsia X also got dine on demand on business class during overnight flight. On year 2006, experience once from Xi,An to Kuala Lumpur.

[@TheRareVideosXL]

What a lovely flight with a lovely airline. Great content as always. Keep it up.

[@janamckendree3529]

Me & my friends, always preferred flying Korean’s Air. They are very nices and working very hard to make you comfortable .

[@user-em3cd1yw3o]

Fly ZIP AIR next time! Japanese LCC with business class!

[@jasongarufi8187]

Thanks for another great video Josh, on demand meal service no wonder the air crew looked busy.

[@Bambitheman45]

Wow, that looks impressive. Keep up with the good work. Can't wait for the El Al review to come out.

[@Sukonta100]

One reason the traffic is heavy between Thailand and S. Korea could be that no visas are required for the two countries’ citizens. The same case is true for Thailand (15-day visa-free for tourists) and Japan.

[@user-oo6zt1pc5l]

Can't go wrong with airlines from Korea in service perspective 👌 👍 😊

[@mush3179]

Yes Josh u'r guess is absolutely right on. They open the curtains whenever the seat belt is turned on so that staff can keep a watch over passengers who might be standing or walking in the galley and not fasten their seat belt.

[@thevacationworld]

Oh wow, I have to say, I love lie-flat-beds much more than angled-flat. I tried them a few times with Condor in their Boeing 767, but for me, it's a weird feeling to sleep like this 😃 Definitely team lie-flat 😁👍

[@On-Our-Radar-24News]

What a great budget airline!! Josh, how much did you pay for your economy ticket before your $200 business class upgrade. The place that I always get excited to fly into is Dublin, Ireland. 😁☘🇨🇮

[@corakemeling4486]

Slippers are at every Korean house ready for guests to wear. Shoes are taken off before entering a home and slippers put on so a nice touch .

[@pilotroushas8956]

They open them so they can have a clear view in the cabin if anyone stands up and so on. Lovely video as always !

[@roib7781]

Wasn’t there supposed to be a video of ELAL out of Dubai ?

[@patriciafuchs5970]

Enjoy all your videos and look forward to many more. As usual, it doesn’t disappoint. Learned a lot and finished feeling good. You are always fun and informative! IKEA blanket, too funny!!

[@352lolo]

Actually cool. My opinion I find the opening of curtains during turbulence especially heavy ones!! then you have a clear view from both ends of the plane. 👍🏽three times

[@Jimages_uk]

As you are travelling so much, perhaps you could share your preference for luggage, how many different bags have you used, and which stood up best to the rigors of airline baggage handling?

[@kaysherwood9178]

I think that’s a great thing to do with the curtains it makes scenes as if there is a problem and the plane has to do an emergency landing the passengers will not have to fight the curtains to get out.

[@FalconX88]

That airline was like "WHAT??? SOMEONE BOOKED BUSINESS????":-D

[@DannyA3579]

Hey Josh! Glad you posted the links in the comments. On the bio page they aren’t clickable at the moment. Love your videos. Excellent content. I really appreciate that you give honest opinions whether it’s good or bad. Definitely helps both the customers and the airlines so it’s a better flying experience all around.

[@CarycaMatka-ce8fh]

[@joelipopelli18]

what happened to ELAL video????

[@sachinmainkar]

Suvarna Bhumi literally means Gold Land in Sanskrit and many other Indian languages, like Marathi, my mother tongue, the language spokenin the region around the city of Mumbai. Suvarna = Gold. Bhumi = Land.

[@SoloYolo84]

There’s a new hybrid airline as well called Air primera which serves ICN to LAX I believe. They first flew from Seoul to Jeju Island on 787

[@markfoxall114]

I loved this video and the Airline, I will check it out next time I am in Asia. The Country that I have great memories of and enjoy visiting is Singapore, where you are travelling to next. My Partner has a home there so always a cheap place to visit with the worlds best Airport. Can’t wait for the next weeks video, cheers Josh.

[@patrickscroggin1438]

What happened to the EL AL flight from MCT-TLV?

[@yaronsteinbuch3956]

I was wondering that too!

[@aerorobnz]

slippers for Korea and Japan flights in particular are often offered by some western airlines that don't offer them on other routes. For me I get excited when I arrive in the Philippines, but my first international arrival in LAX for 3 years after my country's lockdown was just as exciting.

[@tusharsinha94]

I will be visiting Philippines next month, anything special in terms of aviation to check out? 😀

[@WylieWestie]

We came across T’Way recently and they just started allowing pets to fly in cabin internationally so it’s a game changer for us travelling around Asia ❤️ we will try them next month but just a shame they will only allow us in economy. Oh well, one step at a time! 🙏

[@DChatburn1]

I am enjoying your videos - and by the way, your English is very good! I too perfer to not go fully flat in Business class. One thing that I wish is that a second pillow would be offered. If the cabin isn't full, I can usually grab an extra pillow. Keep up the good work.

[@travelswithsi8932]

Just did a quick costing with tway, its a great price from HSMC to Korea and return - altho worthwhile stating its 200 dollars upgrade from the costs you already paid

[@MelbourneFlyer]

The Rydges @ Sydney Airport also charges for an early check-in. I was checking in at about 12pm when they are normally 3pm, and they wanted about AU$200...

[@MelbourneFlyer]

@@carolinelane9599 ye, I was really surprised when they told me that was the price. And it's not like I was staying 1 night, I was there for a week!

[@luyandantshona1095]

Thank you for this review, currently based in Korea I will sure try it out on my next travels.

[@gilberttrotter9594]

At night take-off, landing and any deviation from normal flight require the cabin dividers to be open in case of power failure

[@Oduck22]

Every US hotel I’ve ever stayed in charged me for early check in. Many don’t even offer it unless you schedule it ahead of your visit.

[@Eric2221]

Love seeing the TW code back!

[@Brickinghoops210]

I didn't know T'Way had A330's because they had mostly a 737 fleet but I hope to try this some day

[@amc3]

Maybe you travelled at Chuseok time Josh ? - 9 Sep to 12 Sep, Phuket is very popular with young Korean people for a quick trip to get away. From 1st April 2023 all covid 19 restrictions are being removed, even mask wearing. I head back to Korea second week in April 2023, so suits me fine. My Business Class flight from Jeju - do to Seoul Gimpo airport last week cost me less than 100 USD. No food or drink is included, but who needs it on a one hour flight, very punctual as you would expect from any Korean airline. Flight going down in economy was only 31 USD. Bit strange watching the ground crew stand in line and wave you goodbye, just like in Japan ........we get a different hand movement from Ryanair ground crew in Europe 🤣

[@philippgraf4589]

Ich freue mich jedesmal wen ich wieder nach Rumänien komme so nette Leute da

hi, josh some Korean budget airlines are turning into hybrid airlines, and hope you enjoy more Korean airlines that are coming soon. I hope you enjoy Korea I live in Korea beautiful country and not a lot of restrictions tourist attraction there is an aviation museum by gimpo airport

[@thirut2]

Suvarnabhumi and Suvarnadvipa (Sanskrit). The word Suvarnabhumi may be parsed into Suvarna, meaning "having a beautiful colour", "glittering", "golden" and bhumi holding the semantic field: "earth", "soil", "territory", "country", "land". It is pronounced "Swarna boomi"....

[@TheSuziesue]

You should chase down Asiana 747 when you can… and great vid too 👍

[@gagamba9198]

What was the price of the one-way economy ticket? Re the Korean-Thai traffic, a lot of affordable golf courses in Thailand. And Thais visiting Korea for the hallyu stuff. Plus Bangkok is a major hub, so likely transiting passengers with connecting flight.

[@clairedobson2240]

Great honest video Josh Thank you

[@EuroDC1990]

More budget airlines really should do budget business class, I and I'm sure many others would happily pay a bit more for a wider seat.

[@gpierre90]

Hi Josh, Great Video as always, to start with I never knew this airline existed until today, so thank you for that, Dine on Demand in both Business and Economy class? BRILLIANT, why doesn't that concept exist on other airlines, Fantastic idea, the opening of the curtains when seat belt sign is on is unusual, maybe it's for safety reasons like you said, for crew to keep an eye on passengers, you mentioned airport that gets people excited when we touch down? Melbourne Airport, Sydney Airport Australia 🇦🇺 ❤️ basically any international airport in Australia, love it. Love Australia, My favourite country despite the VISA, still love it. Anyways T Way amazing, yeah the cabin crew can be a bit more interactive not perfect, but some genuinely great ideas.

[@ericueno4908]

Hi Josh. I love your vids. Did I miss the story of how Tway got a former Aeroflot A330?

[@stulop]

Could it be Thailand-Seoul is the first leg on the way to Western United States, Canada and Central/South America?

[@stevenelliott7568]

Great video Josh - Perhaps due to there being just 2 pax in business you were able to have your meal at anytime due to the crew not having to do the full set up if it was a full cabin ? Or not 😂

[@mikeparker6322]

Many Thai’s works in Korea and many Thai’s want to work in Korea. Many Koreans want to visit and live in Thailand. Korean Air has also restarted Chiang Mai to Incheon daily flights as well.Also, notice the FA’s are wearing pants. JIN Air FA’s wear jeans.
