  • It was a dream come true for me to fly Korean Air's B747-400 aircraft on a domestic flight between Seoul - Gimpo (GMP) to Jeju (CJU).
    The flight was packed with holidaymakers but service was cheerful and courteous throughout the flight (and the crew are so beautiful ;) ). It was a very nice experience with Korean Air.
    Thank you very much for watching my B747-400 experience!

    thank you so much for watching! would you elaborate what wasn't to your liking this time?

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

    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

    Thank you so much for watching! Did you fly Thai from Phuket to Bangkok? Its a great opportunity to fly the B747 on a domestic flight too!
    Korean Air offers a great product for sure, even on their 20year old B744s! Glad you think highly of this airline!

    thank you so much for watching! Yes they do have aircraft models for sale.

    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    I decided to change my style and let the video do the talking instead. Speaking to the camera is subjective and some people like it, some don't so I decided to take a more neutral approach! Thank you for your concern though : )

  • @FlightTravels

    Hello, thank you so much for watching! I'll upload some videos on jeju as a destination in due course! please stay tuned. I've completed my studies in Kazakhstan and now am at home in Singapore. Feels good to be back!
    Well, Gimpo is primarily a domestic airport but it does have scheduled international flights to Japan, China and Taiwan. :D And yes, its a modest airport, great for spotting planes though!
    Thank you very much for dropping by!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    Thank you very much for watching once again! I didn't see any power supply or charging points in the seats.

  • @FlightTravels

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

    @AAproductions94 Před 11 lety

    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.

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

  • @nick_roum
    @nick_roum Před 11 lety

    Korean air is one of the best airlines for sure!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    I guess Seoul to Jeju is still a major trunk route with many departures throughout the day, might be alot of capacity for Incheon to handle.
    Also, yes, only a drink service is offered as the scheduled flight time is 1h 5mins, compared to a relatively longer flight time of 1h 25mins (I believe) from BKK-HKT.
    Overall, the crew were very cheerful and very polite. Great service on this short sector!
    Thank you, very much for watching, again! ^_^

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    lol.. no flight is complete without one! thank you so much for watching! :)

  • @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!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    I didn't know you love watching planes too! It was my favourite thing to do when I was young! :) But yes, larger planes are so much better to look at than the boring B737s and A320s :p haha
    Thank you, very much for watching, once again!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

    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

  • @antivenomworld
    @antivenomworld Před 11 lety

    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.

  • @jayalberts
    @jayalberts Před 11 lety

    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!!!!!!

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

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

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

    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!).

  • @mandalay71

    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!

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

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

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

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    They seem very good on this short domestic sector.

  • @FlightTravels
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    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!

    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!

    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
    @FlightTravels  Před 11 lety

    I thought there might be some domestic flights to Jeju from Incheon but perhaps, your dad must take the train to Gimpo airport to catch a flight there. There are dozens of flights throughout the day to Jeju!
    Stay tuned for my videos. I'll post some on Jeju!

  • @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!

  • @connornielsen4574
    @connornielsen4574 Před 10 lety

    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

    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!

    Yeah, i cannot say anything bad about Korean Air. Their food is amazing :)
