I’m sorry there was more bad than good for you and Ludvig on this trip. 😢 BUT, Chloe…you still made a wonderful video and allowed me to see things I know I’ll never experience in person. So Thank You!! 🫶🏽🫶🏽🫶🏽

[@chloeandludvig]

Aw, thanks for watching. It's always a good time with Ludvig though, even on the more... interesting flights. 😂

[@greekre]

if they flew china air their experience would have been gold but they opted for air china

[@quark1]

Was watching nomadic movement but then saw you had a new video up too, so i clicked right on over to watch you first ❤

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha love the Nomadic Movement channel too - can't blame you for choosing to watch our adventures first! 😉

[@DocTJB]

I just found you and I’m binging all of your content. Love you both!!!

[@chloeandludvig]

Love you back! Just remember, our content is like the airline food-sometimes a little unexpected, but always an adventure!

[@adventureswithuncledave]

great vidoe guys, I LOVE watching your content, keep up the great work!!

[@chloeandludvig]

We appreciate the love! So glad you enjoyed the video 😄

[@sunshinegorman3218]

Yay! First one! 🎉

[@chloeandludvig]

Hahaha YAY!!

[@dstanley7333]

😢

[@ShelterCats]

I love seeing a new vid from you both on my feed and you always travel to my bucket list places! I need you both on my podcast. Let me know if you’re interested! Would love to interview you both!

[@chloeandludvig]

We really appreciate your support! It means a lot to us that you enjoy our videos. We'd love to discuss being on your podcast!

[@ShelterCats]

@ awesome! How do I reach out?

[@jth8399]

Love your fresh take on a crabby flight. You set a vibe that makes it imposible not to watch.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks a ton! So stoked you liked the vibe-makes all the crabby moments worth it!

[@kaig.1669]

Thanks for your beautyful videos they are made sooo good ❤

[@chloeandludvig]

Yay, thanks! Means a lot! We had a blast making this one!

[@ellameulman]

Ah great! A new video with sometimes Ludvig 😉 curious what you think of Premium Economy.

[@chloeandludvig]

Always lovely when sometimes Ludvig joins the adventures 😆

[@ellameulman]

@@chloeandludvig I do get that he doesn't always get to come with you with work etc. It makes it extra special to see you guys travelling together!

[@rduffy9948]

New to your channel, and l quite enjoyed your bubbly information. Good to hear an honest review on food and service. Doubt l would fly p.e. with them. No perks except a little bit of room for long legs. Looking forward to your next video.

[@chloeandludvig]

Awesome to have you here! So glad you liked the video! Yeah, premium economy can be hit or miss-hopefully, the next one will be better! Can’t wait to share more with you!

[@trAsa242_]

HAHA älskar er kanal! ❤😂 (love your channel) 🎉 Ludvig is hilarious.

[@chloeandludvig]

Aww, tack så mycket!! Ludvig really knows how to keep things fun, right? Glad you’re loving it!

[@T3CHGY007]

Oh boy!!! Plane trip!

[@chloeandludvig]

Hehe, get ready!

[@walkwithjonas7920]

Was the second leg in premium economy as well? It looks like economy…thanks for the video

[@chloeandludvig]

Yes, the second leg was also in premium economy! It definitely had its perks, but I agree it did look like economy class right? Thanks for watching!

[@solotrippin09]

5:45 that's Hong Kong Intl' Airport

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha, nice catch!! I just looked up stock footage on Canva to help create the story ;)

[@EvanLikesCake]

4:32 this is a mood. Exactly how my flight to get to Norway went. 😂

[@chloeandludvig]

The TV touch screen not agreeing with you? 😅

[@EvanLikesCake]

@@chloeandludvigoh I got like 20 minutes on my overnight flight haha 😂 😴

[@Olbear040]

love you guys...

[@chloeandludvig]

😍 aww feeling the love

[@jenniicaroline]

So no China exploring? Just flew there and back? did I miss something? lol :) i was confused at the we flew their in reverse part im gonna have to rewatch !! :)

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha, no worries!😄 This was just the flight home from all of our Sweden & Norway adventures.. we took this flight to get over there as well

[@sumosprojects]

Tell Ludwig that Swedish Metal legends Hammerfall performed in Melbourne Friday night & were awesome 🤘🤘🤘🤘 does he know of the band ?

[@chloeandludvig]

Yes! He knows of them he said!!😆

[@AguadillaCGN]

6:13 omg, with 15,5 hours, just book a hotel at the end of the airport rail link. it is maybe 30-40 dollars. better and u can see something... and have good dinner or whatever... TWOV is allowed for almost anyone....

[@chloeandludvig]

Thanks for the tip! This was quite late at night for us, and we were super jet lagged, so staying in the airport as most convenient. Definitely an idea for next time though!

[@lilsister558]

I was so excited for a new video. I really enjoyed your honest review and I must say I was disappointed for you. Compared to your other travels, Air China premium economy paled in comparison. I look forward to seeing more of your travel adventures.

[@chloeandludvig]

Yeah, it was a bit of a bummer! Just goes to show not every experience is awesome! But we still had a great time on the rest of the trip 😉

[@tong.clement]

5:45 that's HK Airport arrivals 😂 Come transit via HK with Cathay Pacific next time (if there is a flight from your origin - they don't fly from HK to Stockholm direct unfortunately)

[@chloeandludvig]

Good shout! I’ll have to check out Cathay Pacific next time. HK sounds like an interesting transit spot...

[@JustinWatson23]

Thats is a good price for premium economy though. Quality does vary alot though depending on the airline.

[@chloeandludvig]

You're right, it is a good price! I wish the quality was more consistent, haha!

[@elizabethjamieson3829]

Great video! Eeeek didn’t look very “premium economy” Compared to other airlines offerings

[@chloeandludvig]

Yeah, we were a little surprised too! But I guess that explains being the same ish as economy pricing…

[@speedbird006]

Air China provides free transit hotel if your layover is more than 6h.

[@chloeandludvig]

Nooooo way - no one told us that 😂😅

[@rampar77]

All those delilious Dim Sum and you ate Ramen? I didn't know they even have Ramen in China.

[@chloeandludvig]

Dim Sum is awesome, but what can I say? I’m a noodle lover!

[@sdnalyam]

Good to see a more realistic video. Too many people over hype everything. Example, you can get a Michelin star meal in Singapore at the hawker center for less than $10, yet people are shilling crap meals, No Michelin stars for $100's. Best consistent airline I've traveled with has been Singapore Airlines.

[@chloeandludvig]

Yeah, we were a little surprised too! And you're right, Singapore Airlines is definitely one of the best! We have a special experience with Singapore coming up in a few months 😍

[@jonathanberry890]

Great review, a lot to think about my next trip. Never thought about going via Beijing.

[@chloeandludvig]

Thank you so much! I hope our experience helps you plan an amazing trip!

[@MC-dl1me]

One does not fly Chinese airlines for service or food. One does it for safety.

[@chloeandludvig]

Safety is definitely a top priority when flying!

[@anguscovoflyer95]

I’m guess air China premium economy meal service is identical to economy?

[@chloeandludvig]

I’m guessing so too! It didn’t seem to be anything special but I didn’t look over at what economy meals looked like🧐

[@anguscovoflyer95]

@ if you flew emirates premium economy, your flight would have been a lot better in terms of comfort and service!

[@KeviinCx1]

Chinese currency is called the RMB - Renminbi , Yuan is the Japanese currency, most people can get confused with it , so they just put “chinese” infront, loved the video though!

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha, currency confusions happen to the best of us! Thanks for the heads up, and glad you loved the video! 🙌

[@xodusxodus7544]

Chloe, you need to get back into the States, no not the Australian ones, the United ones. I miss your videos of U.S. transportation, lodging and attractions.

[@chloeandludvig]

Ah, yes! The United States-the home of my next handful of videos, you'll be very pleased to know! ;)

[@xodusxodus7544]

@@chloeandludvig I'll be looking forward to those videos. Safe travels always.

[@Rentheflower]

Is it just premium economy you won’t fly or theirs? 🤔

[@chloeandludvig]

Just Air China :) Air NZ’s premium economy was fantastic!!!

[@LeeMoore-tu4gr]

For that cost it seems not worth it IMO. Nice video though!

[@chloeandludvig]

Yeah, the value for money wasn't great! But, I guess it was pretty much the same as economy, so may as well have more space and a few extra perks? Haha

[@sktoh4469]

I took a China Airlines flight last year. I asked for butter to go with my roll. The flight attendant did not know what butter was! Edit: I'm sure she knew what butter was but she only knew the Chinese word for it. And I don't know enough Chinese.

[@chloeandludvig]

Haha that sounds a little like our experience! Things just got lost in translation 🤷🏻‍♀️

[@JaceWD]

Thats not that weird though. I mean, in the video she didnt know what wood ear mushrooms are, so...thats the same thing.

[@SheilaXie]

It is still not clear to me why you decided not to fly Premium Economy with Air China again. I avoid Air China in general.

[@chloeandludvig]

We appreciate your feedback! The experience didn’t quite meet our expectations, but we always aim to share our honest thoughts to help others make informed decisions about their travel choices.

[@cowbayshrub]

I have flown numerous Chinese carriers and I have to admit that I haven’t been impressed…sorry you didn’t have the best flight

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahh so it’s not that surprising we didn’t have the best experience! We still enjoyed making the video at least 😆

[@Muhammadsliter]

Rip off!!! JAL is superior in the premium economy and cheaper.

[@Morten-x3y]

It takes me longer than 0.75 seconds to hit the like button.... therefore i will not

[@chloeandludvig]

Ahh, fair call.. I may have underestimated the timing of that task….
