⚠️This trip and vlog was made in February. I strongly against all non-essential travel for the time being. ⚠️ I hope this upbeat video can serve as good memory for all the Air NZ UK based cabin crew I’ve met onboard. Unfortunately, they’ve been the casualties of COVID-19 as the airline have just closed their base. 😢

All those trips started at LAX. That airport is connected to me. The first plane I ever flew was an ELAL Israel airlines, on a 777-200ER when I was 4 weeks old. It’s true. The only 747s I flew were and British airways and I got to sit in the cockpit. I’ve sat in the cockpit of so many planes you can’t even imagine.

Good review Sam. Thanks. Like you, it had been many, many years since I had flown Air NZ. The last time was also a B747-400 from LA to Auckland. My most recent flight with Air NZ was from Sydney to Houston via Auckland on their B787 and B777-300ER. It was a very nice flight. The seat config is a bit odd as you noted lacking some expected privacy. The seats should be angled toward the window and inward in the middle. I have heard these lack of privacy complaints before. Having lived in Singapore for 20+ years, I have been a loyal Singapore Airlines customer. However, after my flight with Air NZ, I would rate them higher than SIA from check in to arrival. The lounges, cabin crews, service, food and quality tops SIA in my opinion. I will fly Air NZ more often - when I can after this COVID situation.

Dear Sam, True story... 1984 I was working for the Japan Group/Shimano when the 84 Olympics came to town. Being an ex professional racer I was given the task to take care of the New Zealand bike team as they had poor bicycles and shoddy equipment. Five months before the games the president of Shimano Japan gave me carte-blanche to get the whole team anything they needed, ie from hand built custom built bikes, tools and tons of equipment, even four full size rental vans. I died and went to heaven designing all these road and time trial bikes with the latest and some prototype Shimano equipment. Time trial being my fav, I poured my soul into every detail. Then a few days before the games the bike team started to arrive at LAX, and quickly took them to their secured living quarters. Knowing that I love time trial they were quick to show me their New Zealand racing skinsuits. I was shocked to see they were nearly 100% black and it was July as LA was melting in heat. I advised them to make white NZ skin suits and asked if they brought them The didn't. When it came time to run their TT race it was on the new #2 freeway, the surface was almost 125 degrees. Needless to say thanks to the black skin suites they almost didn't finish as heat exhaustion ate them alive. !!!BUT HEY WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!!! As a thank you the team gave me a Time Trial Helmet and other beautiful gifts which to this day I still display their TT race helmet in my pro bike shop in Seattle. FUN. PS, I live just across the lake where Boeing makes their 737s and get to see them take off brand new for testing every day. Keep up the great work, Dan ( :

For most countries, their main Airline will most likely be bailed out by their respective Government’s which is a good thing

It's like a wildfire at the moment. The "seed" is grounded but soon after the virus is gone all will come back and florish even bigger and better than before. Until the next bug emerges from a chinese wet market... If you want to hear what a real pilot thinks about the current mess then go to the "mentour aviation" - channel. He'll tell you!

I know this was a year ago and sorry if someone has said this already! However the "hongi" ( breath of life) is exchanged in a symbolic show of unity the visitor and the people of the land are connected and are one because they have shared the same breath of life which then means you are welcome on our lands

I’ve seen and heard so many poor reviews of Sam Chui, how he treats staff etc. He’s basically a spokesperson for each different air line. I’ve flown a lot of the routes he has but from my experience and what I see here is that Mr Sam gets quite a different experience to anyone else, no matter what class you fly
@Nounou18102 жыл бұрын
I agree. I feel the airline staff are pre warned of his arrival on to the plane to give a good impression because he has a huge following on this platform. Although I feel us kiwi’s are genuinely friendly people in general. Just don’t want people to think we are putting on an act so we don’t get receive bad reviews.

It was great to spot the Concorde upon your landing at Heathrow. I would have thought it would have been in a more prominent location - as it is, it looks like an old used car put at the back behind all the nice newer vehicles. At least people landing or taking off can see it. As always Sam, another wonderful video. Stay safe and be healthy!
