FlightTravels m a frequent KAL flyer from SFO to MNL satisfied with their flight service....ASIANA is good as well

[@AAlan2025]

Summer of 2012 I flew Korean Air B777-200 Dallas to Seoul and then Seoul to Beijing! Was the best feeling I've ever had flying. Service was amzaing and Korean Air is the best in the sky. Glad you got fly with them. It was also a dream to come true for me to fly with them. Dreams do come true. Can't wait to fly with them.

[@jayalberts]

Wow. Thanks for that!!! Really brought back memories of my nearly 2 years in Korea in the late 1980s when Gimpo (Kimpo then) was the ONLY airport in Seoul. The terminal you left out of opened when I was there. I want to go back!!!!!!

[@perezster]

I like several commercial airliners, but the B747-All Series will always be my favorite. Thanks for sharing your flight experience.

[@Nomad722]

Splendid FlightTravels, you don't know it but it brings back some sentimental memories.

[@menorca747]

You must of been really excited while boarding the Boeing 747. This is my favorite plane, and I hope to board my first one next year. The thought of boarding one gets me all excited. Great video, I really love watching all of your videos. It's great what you do - traveling. Thank you for your videos Emily

[@cherokees51]

Love Korean Air and their great service,will be seeing you again May

[@stefaniesoh7481]

Yes, Like you I truly enjoyed the very pleasant flight last November.

[@nick_roum]

Korean air is one of the best airlines for sure!

[@JudithIrene]

So very happy for you to fly on your favourite jet! :)

[@FlightTravels]

thank you so much for watching and congrats on your new job! :) I'm glad my videos helped you somewhat! Good luck on your new career!

[@flanges19]

like like , the quality is good and the editing is awesome

[@Paul.in.Ireland]

Another excellent video Gavin but please show that amazing smile! We miss it soooooo much :)))))

[@Flyspotter19]

Fantastic video! I'm so happy for you that you finally got onboard the B747! Thanks for sharing this experience you had! :)

[@travlling]

Thank you for posting. I have always loved flying Korean Air!

[@csifan90]

Great video!! I flew Korean Air a few years ago and I though there service was amazing!!!

[@incheon]

Absolutely great video! I miss Korea so much sometimes. I have yet to visit Jeju, although I have flown over it many times. This has inspired me to do so soon. Thanks for sharing!!

[@heartsungs]

very nice video--it brings back lovely memories of the time when i flew from Kwanju to Chejudo by Korean airlines --i love Korea and the wonderful Korean people --hope i can go back there some time soon:)

[@sdf5301]

Excellent video, as always. I can share your amazement at Korean Air flying 747 on such short flight. I was very surprised when i boarded 747 from Phuket to Bangkok one time. Yeah, i cannot say anything bad about Korean Air. Their food is amazing :)

[@FlightTravels]

I probably belong to the older generation who still are in love with the B744. Most glad you like the A380 though! :)

[@FlightTravels]

It was the biggest plane around when I was young! I've never gotten used to the A380 lol. The B744 will always be the Queen of the Skies for me!

[@karleriksmithson]

Great Video! I thought that you had been on a 747 before? It's surprising and amazing that they use such a huge aircraft for such a small flight

[@junkaileong3476]

Just one question for you Gavin, sine you love traveling and flying, do you collect model aircrafts?

[@FlightTravels]

I'm so glad you think so too! Glad I'm not the only one out there who still appreciate the Queen of the Skies. Thank you, very much for watching my experience!

[@grl2675]

Love your video; love the aircraft too. Korean does justice to the cabin interior. What's more, the carrier has ordered 10 747-8s according to wikipedia, so we'll be seeing more of the baby blue coloured jets for some time yet!

[@FlightTravels]

thank you for dropping by! I wonder how the bridges were like before...

[@94vrcommodore]

Thanks for that, love to check out korea

[@FlightTravels]

hellos, thank you so much for dropping by! I did fly with Asiana Airlines (hint: how did I get back to Singapore?). I'm glad to hear you had a nice time with them. And yes, I was so happy I sat on the top deck of JAL's B744 before! It was one of my most happiest memories of flying!

[@FlightTravels]

Thank you so much for supporting me! All the best for your own channel!

[@mandalay71]

Nice flight! Fun fact: This plane HL-7489 was delivered from Boeing on January 18 1994.

[@FlightTravels]

Hi Neil, thank you for dropping by! No plans to fly the A380 at the moment haha...

[@FlightTravels]

I think the 747-800 looks beautiful too, hope to fly it some day

[@OwenTravels]

thanks for uploading this Gavin. This reminds me of my last Gimpo flight via Asiana (JFK-SEL-MANILA). Good thing they have changed the bridges now :)

[@carmes87]

So Gavin,A380 next?Another fine video,you do get around!!Neil.

[@XpertPilotFSX]

Wow! Excellent video!

[@LnPPersonified]

This looks like such a good flight. I hope I can afford to fly to Korea some day, I'd love to visit.

[@connornielsen4574]

As always, great video! As for the PA being soft; I have noticed this on Korean Air A330-300 in the past too, I think it may just be how they tune their PA systems.

[@FlightTravels]

yes, indeed I have! But it is always a great feeling to fly my favourite aircraft! thank you so much for dropping by!

[@FlightTravels]

I thoroughly enjoyed my time in Korea, particularly Seoul, where it is so easy to get around via subway and good and inexpensive restaurants are everywhere. It is also a shopaholic's dream too! I want to go back! :)

[@FlightTravels]

thank you very much, and i greatly appreciate your support of my channel! Thank you!

[@heatherstub]

I love your videos, or what I hear from them. It's been a long time since I flew in a 747. I wish your vids were longer, though, and I miss all your wonderful descriptions of the food and the flight reports. Could you please do this for future videos? They don't need much music like some of your past videos, but I love hearing about the inflight weather, altitude, temperature outside and the sound of the airplanes. Thank you so much.

[@FlightTravels]

Glad you think so!!!

[@DeltaEagle7700]

Amazing, Gavin!! It would be cool to be onboard a 747! I would like to be on one! I'm even more amazed that just like Japan, they use 747's for short haul routes! I loved that cabin walk-through experience at 2:04! The first or if that's business class seats are amazing! Wow! That is a pretty think duty-free book! Wow! It only took 52 minutes!? That's like our interisland flights over here!

[@PlaneChaserFlightReviews]

Nicely done,you have inspired me to do the same! Also,I do miss the background music and commentaries in your flight videos. Happy traveling in 2013!

[@FlightTravels]

Thank you so much for dropping by, Falcon! It must be really nice to fly between the Hawaiian islands, I can only imagine how scenic the flights would be! I'm so glad you enjoyed this video! Thank you very much!

[@OwenTravels]

The terminal looks life having a face lift somehow. before.. the jetbridge looks really old. I also hope I can revisit this airport.Hope to see your new travel vids :)

[@FlightTravels]

thank you for watching and i'm so glad you had a good experience with KE as well! :D

[@FlightTravels]

Hi Emily, I'm most glad the B747 is your favourite plane as well and I appreciate your kind comments! It was quite true what you said, my heart was just pounding at the thought of flying the B747 once again as I walked down the aerobridge! Thank you so much for watching my videos!

[@FlightTravels]

Yupyup you're right. I wanted to visit beautiful Jeju but to be able to fly the B744 on this short sector really is too irresistable! It was a great trip and I was so happy, and still am! thank you so much for watching my latest video!

[@FlightTravels]

thank you so much Judi, its a great honour for me to share my joy with the world! Thank you so, very much for watching, once again!!!

[@FlightTravels]

KE has always operated B773s to SIN on a regular basis. I believe you must have taken the B744 during the december school vacation right? KE upgauged their aircraft usually during that time to cater to the hordes of Singaporean tourists heading to Korea for their winter holiday!

[@FlightTravels]

i feel the same way too! Thank you for supporting me :)

[@Pinoycaptain2012]

So KE also uses the B747-400 often for domestic flights? Same here. Philippine Airline uses the B747-400 for flights to Cebu for one hour and Davao for 1:45

[@TheAlstair]

Long live the Queen of the skies

[@groovyrumbea]

congrats on your camera skills!! it really made feel as if i was on board myself. thank you so much for sharing this video. excellent image and sound quality. i enjoyed it a lot. greetings from caracas, venezuela.

[@antivenomworld]

If you like the 747-400, check out air force one, I think it is a 747-200 or 300, you are gonna change your favorite aircraft, that aircraft shows the full potential of a legend like that.

[@TheBlackfanify]

1st to comment! Nice video!

[@ahsanfm777]

That was one short flight !! Usually u tend to see the crew rushing but this was really majestic. My Dad is gonna fly to Jeju this Summer Sometime soon !! I searched for flights but i see no flights from Incheon airport . Why is that ? Do tell me about jeju as well !!

[@trimel81]

great video of interior of 747-400. thanks for sharing.

[@OnceACommenter]

Thats a pretty fast take off..

[@FlightTravels]

They seem very good on this short domestic sector.

[@NicBunnymen]

I LOVE THE JUMBO 747. I HAVE ADORED THIS TYPE OF A/C SINCE I WAS A CHILD. JUST LOVE IT..UNBEATABLE.

[@FlightTravels]

thank you, very much and i really appreciate your kind comments! I am grateful for your support!

[@FlightTravels]

haha.. it must have been the kids behind me! I am most surprised too! It must be one of the shortest routes on a B744!

[@luizgustavolima]

Thanks for introducing Jeju to me...never heard of ( and I travel and read a lot)! 2 questions: - are you still studying in Khazakistan? Gimpo is a domestic airport in Seoul, doesn't it? (very modest for South Korean standards)

[@FlightTravels]

indeed a B744 on an one hour flight is not common but I guess it might be a peak season for travelling to Jeju and the traffic demand is there!

[@FlightTravels]

thank you for supporting me and for waiting! :-) it means alot!

[@ChinaLake100]

That specific plane has been with Korean Air since January 18th, 1994. She's an oldie!

[@FlightTravels]

thank you so much and I'm honoured to share my joy! Thank you sooo very much for watching! :-)

[@FlightTravels]

I'm smiling, just behind the screen! I am so glad that you support my presence in my videos but I don't want the video to be about me, but about the experience! Thank you so much for supporting me and watching my latest video!

[@FlightTravels]

Hi Mario, I felt eating out in restaurants isn't so expensive in Korea (slightly cheaper than restaurants in Singapore), and definately, Korea will be less expensive than Japan. Subway is not expensive too, about USD1 for a single ride for short distances. Thank you always, for watching my videos!

[@charleysmith3529]

hey gavin, great video! have you ever flew with asiana airlines? I would really recommend them! I flew with them last year from London heathrow to Incheon airport (near seoul) and from seoul to manila. (and back again) the service was almost as good as emirates airlines! I was just wondering though if you have ever sat on the top deck of a b747? (b747 is my favourite aircraft as well as the airbus a380!)

[@94vrcommodore]

Nice video mate! Whats it like in Korea? Is it a good country to visit?

[@johnzeroseven]

A nice video, well made.

[@FlightTravels]

Hellos, there was just a drink service (with soda, juices and water) on this short flight actually, as it is just 52mins in actual flight duration!

[@rodelaax]

So can we estimate that you've booked this flight because of the 747 and not for the destination? If so, good move and Jeju is furthermore an interesting region. Quasi two at a stroke. :)

[@hiimkian]

I was waiting for a Korean Air :D

[@hmasurg]

Well done. Did economy class seats offer any empower or other connectivity options?

[@kartsakukko8855]

beautiful Korea

[@o8282]

gimpo terminal: walk a marathon before arriving to gate 😐😎😎😎

[@FlightTravels]

Thank you very much for supporting me! I'm very glad you enjoy my videos!

[@charleysmith3529]

hey gavin thanks so much for replying! one more thing though... are u going to make a video of your asiana airlines experience? I flew with them on a 777, how about u?

[@ca1joe14]

A380 is the BESTTTT for Korean Air. I'm more of an Asiana Airlines person but Korean Air is still awesome. Muchhh better serice and flight attendants (including appearance) then any airlines around the world. Both Korean and Asiana

[@mshkolazmarz]

hi, nice video! i just want to ask are the things in korea expensive? if you compare to jpn which one is more expensive? like the food, transportation in the city, etc. keep up the good work!!

[@alican_p]

Everything looks good except the passengers who are too much noisy even during the take-off and landing. I'm surprised that you didn't say a word about this. Thanks for the flight!

[@flyingguy737]

hi! the video is perfect

[@FlightTravels]

Thank you R for dropping by! I agree with you ;)

[@FlightTravels]

Yes, the announcements were very, very soft (had to max out the volume of the clip but its still too soft >_< ) I don't know why. Can't hear anything during the safety demo too, and forget about the Captain's address to the passengers on the flight details. Inaudible at all! Quite sad actually, because I do love hearing inflight announcements. Anyway, thank you, very much for watching, glad you enjoyed it!

[@FlightTravels]

i'm very glad you had a nice experience with Korean Air as well. Thank you for watching!

[@nessplayer]

My dream is to go to Seoul, i love Korean x)

[@UPTurn12]

it was a great video!

[@pbateson]

Great video. I never seen KE uses B747 to Jeju from Gimpo. Why not ICN to Jeju? Where the food? Strange only drink service on domestic flight. From BKK to HKT on TG has food and drink service. So, how the KE service?

[@spyspade]

Its really hard to listen to the landing announcement along with loud korean passengers! LOL but still your video is superb!

[@Lol23883]

Rajendra Joshi. Korean Air is wonderful Airline.Its provide extra ordinery services. Which I have never experienced in other Airlines.

[@keshavr8754]

emirates?

[@마리사랑-c5g]

Nice review.

[@FlightTravels]

HEYS! thanks so much for dropping by. That's a very sensitive question you are asking! I'll let you be the judge for this tricky question :p I guess there are alot of domestic Korean tourists to Jeju to justify utilising the B744 (I believe 6 flights per day on the B744 during this period!).

[@JaayTalaveriah]

Great Video! I hope you fly Virgin next x]

[@DeltaEagle7700]

You are welcome, my friend! :)

[@FlightTravels]

i agree, considering how the flight was almost full in Economy, maybe the plane didn't carry much fuel since it was just a domestic flight which allowed a quick lift-off!

[@FlightTravels]

yes apparently, anything from an B737 to a B747 is deployed on the domestic trunk route between Seoul and Jeju.
