Thanks for posting this. Just booked LAX-SEA-PEK for later this year and we'll be on the A330-300 in Business Class. Excited to be on this airline and super excited to be going to PEK!

[@qf2994]

And how was it? 😅

[@tonymnla]

@@qf2994 Which part? We flew Alaska first class, which was great from LAX to SEA. Hainan from SEA to PEK and the service was terrific then, this was 5 years ago now.

[@kevinyang5926]

I flew from Beijing to Tel Aviv, it was a great airline with decent inflight entertainment compared to other airlines in China

[@goSANFRAN]

Hainan is wayyyyy better than Air China and China Eastern...

[@maxs6878]

Agreed. Air China served me seafood spaghetti with spoilt cheese and disgusting lumps of green stuff

[@alisonwu8089]

China Southern is okay, China Eastern is worse, and Air China really sucks......

[@seanyu4019]

Cuz CA MU and CZ are all nationalised, only Hainan is private

[@DestinationTravel]

Air China gives 46kg of baggage in Economy and are cheap. Their meal service is fine and crew diligent. They have really improved. I think the other Chinese airlines are much the same.

[@etmadeitback5764]

So true. Especially the food.

[@godrgodr1328]

booked business class Jan 2019 from Toronto - Beijing. really looking forward to it.

[@brandoneaston5306]

Love the content keep it up man really inspires me to travel and experience these amazing journeys that your taking 👏

[@freebeacher]

Looks like a great experience! Thanks.

[@dwm6406]

Definitely a five-star airlines. I have waited for a long time for your new report about Hainan Airlines. It is a great video.

[@1973acr]

Always a pleasure to watch you josh. Very easy on the eye!! ;)

[@xqiu5627]

hi, just curious. how did you accomplish this many business class travels, you paid out of pockets than point, right?

[@giuseppeferrara2422]

Great video!!

[@Harry.C]

Great video, always support. Would like to see you do a review on EVA AIR.

[@fsxb757]

SilverKris in T3 at SIN. There's that warm, fuzzy, familiar feeling whenever I step in there, be it for long-haul or short-haul trips. Food there has always been great too! I tend to find a good balance of western and Singaporean dishes on the buffet line (:

[@alonso8717]

Thanks to you I am improving my English because you have a very good vocalization and I can understand everything you say.

[@SirRossco77]

Another great Video Josh!! Hope you had a great New Years! For this year maybe do a Pacific island trip or come back to Australia 😊

[@delmonte4824]

Ross Eckhardt yes manila-sydney business class on the new Airbus330.thank you josh!

[@chfasih4343]

And thanks for adding lounges in your video's also and washrooms.

[@HH-xu9hm]

Star Alliance lounge in LAX and the Delta Sky Club in JFK T4 are the best two I have been. LAX lounge have better food but JFK has newer lounge itself and great shower room~ Love your videos

[@donalmaccormaic8173]

Hi Josh, how are you? There are two new routes from Dublin, Ireland which have opened this Summer 2018. Dublin to Hong Kong with Cathay Pacific and Dublin to Beijing with Hainan Airlines. These commenced only a few weeks ago, and are the first time both airlines have flights to Dublin, and these are the first direct flights connecting China with Ireland. You might try them and review. Thanks.

[@cyvickuoful]

Great Video Do you have a plan to try EVA Air?

[@niccoloseghezzi5816]

definitely Cathay Pacific first class lounge the pier and the the wing as well as they offer caviar , excellent video my friend looking forward to new videos

[@bradschutz1605]

My favourite lounge is the Qantas Lounge at Singapore. Have you ever flown with Qantas?

[@zaccomusic]

good video, Thanks!

[@jimmygu2779]

I like the China eastern lounge in T1 of Hongqiao Airport Shanghai, which is for international flights to Hong Kong, Taipei, Tokyo and Seoul.

[@helloworlddon]

I haven't been to many international lounges but my favorite domestic lounge in the usa so far is united's lounge at lax. Love your reviews. And you're super cute.

[@RudeMania35]

Don C i agree!!

[@clausstimpfig3803]

pretty nice Video good c/cl service

[@user-wi6vi2gv2t]

i always enjoy watching your reviews. I want you to try and give review about Japanese Airline like JAL or ANA. for example, if you fly JAL from Beijing to LA, you can experience B767 and B777.

[@ZettaAxe]

japan airlines is so bad

[@cdarioc]

Love the Concorde Room at Heathrow Terminal 5. Ever travel to NYC?

[@chfasih4343]

Love your vidoes in voiceovers

[@lukim1388]

I would really love to see a Austrian Airlines tripreport soon :)

[@gregorybaker330]

I love them and they fly from SYD bus class to China for 2k usd -mazing and after living in working in China they are safe and thorough about many things and like the expat pilots Europeans etc and I used to fly so know they are safe and technically thorough on safety and regulations

[@ayascalab723]

Cool videooo😉😉😉😉😉

[@robyoungquist5803]

My favorite lounges are (1) Lufthansa First Class Terminal in Frankfurt (frequent it frequently); Qantas lounge Sydney and Cathay Pacific The Pier in Hong Kong

[@odinbab7987]

HA. Just released frequency to MX city.

[@fjg382998]

Impressive to see Western cabin crew on-board. Are these on all their flights or just European? Also, I thought Hainan Airlines brought out a new stylish uniforms (?). Nice video mate, well done!

[@STERENN.]

FJG FJGu As a western Cabin crew of Hainan Airlines, I can answer your question. The foreign Cabin crew working for Hainan Airlines are mostly working on international flights (and partially on domestics) and in Business class. About the new uniform, it will be released when we will pass to the summer Season and summer uniform. It is actually used for inaugural flights during this time :) I hope that I could answer your questions. Have a nice day !

[@dinoweeco111]

is the food expensive in the business lounge? thanks for the video

[@odzergaming]

the food is included in lounge access

[@Freddy18077]

Hainan airlines looks very elegant!!!

[@delmonte4824]

Alfredo Gtz their service is very good.but cabin is otherwise.it looks cheap.

[@roberthamilton1301]

Thanks !

[@danc4935]

Hey Josh, Thanks for the great videos this year. I just wanted to know why you chose to live in Beijing?

[@danc4935]

For 2018: * Can you fly here to Toronto, Canada * Maybe touch on a new continent as well Your videos are great!

[@max1722]

By the way, come to Montreal! AC has a new route between Montreal and Tokyo.

[@pauldobson9498]

Dan C s

[@danc4935]

yes?

[@yverose8355]

Great review, but have argue that the Hong Kong lounges compete for best in country 😁 Doha lounges are epic globally and they have a pool!!

[@gregorybaker330]

Easily the best lounge in China but that's not hard and they do want to be the best so we support them like you-it is a no brainer for me even though I am CZ Elite plus

[@gregorybaker330]

The staff work hard but hope they get rid of the 2/2/2/ seating on some 330s they fly to SYD

[@robyoungquist5803]

Josh, perhaps you could share with your viewers as to if you are stationed in Asia for work or ?? and perhaps your occupation and if that requires you to travel. Just a suggestion. 😉

[@NiTeHaWKnz]

Can't believe you felt you should mount the camera in the TV screen like you did.

[@laurenyeh2314]

Josh u are such charming

[@Klassenfeind]

The international crew is coming partly from MALÉV and airberlin 😊

[@poelaertpieterjan]

Don't they fly 787-8 as well to Europe? At least to Brussels...

[@goSANFRAN]

They fly 787 series Beijing to Manchester and Moscow seasonly. For full year service, 788 Chongqing to Rome, 789 from Shanghai to Brussels (to Tel Aviv as well if you count it an European city). Starting April this year, Hainan will fly to BRU from Shenzhen, the city next to Hongkong, using their 788/9 twice weekly. Hope the info help :)

[@radekgabriel3276]

Flying to Prague? looks like you are going to visit your mummy!

[@siratsingh8299]

Too much light flickering in the video

[@Fastboy99942]

The Etihad First class Lounge and the Turkish Airlines Business Lounge

[@_MSD75_]

how do you afford to travel so much?

[@doretta2473]

Those kits, pajamas and slippers, can you take it with you at home? 😂😂😂

[@goSANFRAN]

Doretta Yes they actually encourage you to bring back home, otherwise will just go recycle em as waste

[@JimBeary]

I enjoy your commentary! 2 suggestions: 1. Please don't fast forward through take off & landings. (I know this one was a night flight, though!) The view out the window is how viewers get a good sense of the different airports and locations. Otherwise, airports and airplane interiors and skies at cruising altitudes all look nearly the same. 2. Please travel to some smaller, unusual destinations. It seems like every aviation geek flies the same airlines to the same hubs. Set yourself apart by flying to cities that haven't been visited. That's my 2 cents worth!

[@jafongaro]

My favorite lounges to date are: Cathay Pacific Wing F and Pier F in Hong Kong. They are tied because the offer different things. Cathay Pacific F lounge at Heathrow's terminal 3, then BA's CCR and Galleries First lounge in terminal 5. I look forward to trying the Qantas F soon.

[@ryanxu8251]

Like ur smile

[@PaddyMan1988]

I thought major China airline only hire Chinese as cabin crews. 🤔🤔🤔

[@cachem11]

The flight attendant is too pretty to do this job.

[@yialord5521]

Canyon on time

[@POCHUNCHOU]

would like to see EVA air report from you if possible :)

[@vitamilk4u]

The pier in Hkg is definitely one of the best. Another top lounges in my opinion are Thai Airways First Class Lounge in BKK. BA Concorde room at LHR and JFK.

[@alessandropiveteau8232]

Istanbul airports business class lounge is awesome

[@rachelgreenman5845]

Air France in Paris

[@Beautiful_Spiker]

I dont Think Hainan Airlines deserves 5 star Airline at all. I think Skytrax is about Money talk.

[@odzergaming]

hainan definetely deserves it

[@soltanmoradbakhtiar7431]

CIP at ika

[@wallacelee6762]

At least they don't served funny veggie.

[@max1722]

I would expect they wear the new stylish uniform, disappointed!

[@naturalrelaxingsongs3341]

This is fake they knew u r coming, it’s top delay shit company, this is a shame

[@janezhang6348]

Just like how we know every Indian is salty

[@moetech709]
