This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!
#airpremia #korea #tripreport
No special treatment you get from all hotels and planes company is an ultimate point for us love to watch your vlog videos
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🩴

Thank you once again for an informative video with nice content! Cheers 🎉
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🩴
Nice video as always. 🎉
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Man thanks for the memories of SGN chaos! Haha... On my soirée around Asia filming my vlogs, I did look at Air Premia... But alas they didn't fit into my schedule. I also have my sights set on Zip Air... Enjoyed the video!
Yah Zip Air was supposed to be 2 legs after this flight... but they cancelled 😞
This video was helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for watching 🩴
I enjoy every one of your videos
Appreciate that!
Flip flop traveler is a true in flight reviewer.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🩴
I'm in awe of the scope of your current trip. I tend to run out of socks after a week - so that's my limit.
Not sure about a salad with breakfast but I'll support your frittata petition.
Good review.
Needing winter and beach clothes made it tricky… but I was very happy to do it all carry on as well 😅
Hi Kevin! I like your vids. 😊
Thanks!
@@tfft Welcome! It's always a pleasure to watch your vids! It would be really nice to see u as presenter! Keep on posting my friend! 😊
Always like learning about new airlines as the travel market is undergoing huge changes. Hope that airfares for long haul do come down as at the moment these are really expensive in all classes.
It’s 100% because of lack of Chinese carriers in the market at the moment. As soon as they are back to precovid levels they’ll be undercutting everyone and keeping the industry in check, ironically lol.
I was in Korea a few weeks ago and did not notice them then or when looking far a flight. But looks good. Thank you 🙏👍🙂
Thanks for watching 🩴
Just came back to singapore from Vietnam on singapore airline's A350-900
You should ride it, the flight is clean and the FOOD IS THE BEST!!
Have been on many SQ A350s... 3 or 4 or them on this channel already. Thanks for watching 🩴
I Havent Experience AIR PREMIA Yet I have Experinence The Similar Product On Norwegian For Some Years Back.Great Trip Report
Thanks for watching 🩴
Can't get over that price. Looking forward to the Korean/Japanese videos - going back in October so will be taking notes :)
It really can't be beat! At the time it wasn't much more expensive than Vietjet economy. Thanks for watching 🩴
Thank you for your review. I just knew that air premia fly BKK as well. Really like your review style.
Appreciate that! Thanks for watching 🩴
Thank You ✈️

Great report ..Infact i am hearing this airline name first time..I have visited vietnam 4 years back, don't know that time this airline existed.
It definitely didn't exist back then lol. Thanks for watching 🩴
Great review as always !
Just come back from Bali, did a lovely premium economy with Austrian from Vienna to Bangkok ( and a great afternoon and evening in Vienna as I started in London) , all good, especially the Wiener Melange coffee was a treat!
Did Thai Airways 772 out and 789 back to Bali, was good, especially the seafood meal ordered was a nice treat.
The Swiss return from BKK to Zurich in their much hyped new Premium economy seat was .... Meh ..... Service and food great, but for A 2 metre tall and sturdy build Dutchman that seat was not well thought through at all. The meal tray was leaving marks in my stomach, couldn't eat in relax position (the seat moves out and forward within the shelll) and you can't open the meal tray without moving the TV screen (great HD screen btw). ns the short end of teh safety belt is sooooo short I have to fiddle to lock it properly, end up asking for an extension belt to close it in front of me rather than almost underneath me.
Staff ever so friendly, and the legroom in exit row premium economy was great
Best seat value wise? The economy seat behind the premium economy seats, they had more legroom then some premium economy seats!
Strange experience!
Thanks for sharing! I look forward to getting some more premium economy on the channel in the next year or two... but tough to book premium eco when there's usually a business class options from somewhere to somewhere for almost the same price haha.
I was gonna book a business hlat £1500 return LHR to BKK on a combo of Swiss and Austrian, but that rate disappeared after a day !grrrrr then booked premium economy for £1000 but was still probably annoyed having lost out on full business class .......
The video is very detailed. I was wondering how long did it take you to edit it.
Kind of impossible to say tbh. I always edit 6-8 videos at the same time to be more efficient. If I sat down and did just this video start to end, I’d say around 14 hours.
Hi Kevin, great review as usual! Out of interest what’s the name and artist of the song in the video? Looking forward to the next one!
The main track is titled Riviera from Artlist. Thanks for watching 🩴
The airport certainly was chaotic at that time of night! It's interesting to see how Asia heavy the departures are, other than Melbourne, Frankfurt and Dubai all other flights loooked Asia bound. Random question: How long before the flight did you arrive if you knew it was going to be hectic? I wouldn't have even noticed the seat colour as l also had never heard of this airline. Perhaps Air Premia might like to use that yellow advertising space in the jet bridge. The orange and blue would make a welcome change. I hope the airline succeeds. It looks like a decent product 👍
In Saigon:
2.5 before for international, 2 before for domestic and 1.5 before for domestic if Vietnam Airlines (and then have Sky Priority).
Awesome video! Will you be going back to India anytime soon?
Already went back 😉
Aeroplane videos ☺️🔥
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Very interesting video, and outstanding quality. I have two questions though: 1. What is the +1 bonus in the fees and food category, is that then 19 or 17 to 18 and why? 2. I have never seen you mention IFE selection and add points or take away points for it, except today it seems. Why's that?
The IFE selection i talk about in every mid or long haul review. I make a graphic for each video about how many titles are on offer.
The bonus points is above the score there simply bc it was such a bargain of a fare.
@@tfft Yes I have seen the graphic, but like in the EVA video, where I think you said (and also in my experience) the IFE could be better, but it got a perfect 100 overall score.
As stated, my scores are *always* relative to the price I paid. Those EVA flights were incredible redemption value and while it certainly could have been more extensive IFE, I don’t fault airlines for having 100-200 titles vs 300-400. Having enough entertainment for a monthly long haul flyer is my criteria for full IFE marks.
@@tfft That is logical and fair enough. I really appreciate that you always reply and explain any questions by the way.
last week you entered the uluwatu jumeirah in bali at the end of the video and again?
Please read the message on the slide. Each ‘guess the location’ slide is in multiple consecutive videos, each next video the slide gets easier to solve.
@@tfft oh ahaha ok btw are you in australia right now?
Nope ☺️
@@tfft in fiji islands?
What editing software & camera do you use?
iPhones and iMovie. Thanks for watching 🩴
Revenge airlines list ? Please include GBA in Hong Kong (= Greater Bay airlines / managed by ex-Cathay Pacific staff).
Added! Thanks for watching 🩴
Does Air Premia have barf bag /air sickness bag showing its logo? What about Air Premia inflight travel magazine? I'm not referring to the duty-free magazine.
Barf bag logos is not something I check for lol
I think I have a guess as to why you might feel like the sunrises or sunsets along East Asia are crisper, lack of air pollution to the East. The Pacific has far better air quality than any other place
Yeah I'm sure that has something to do with it... but in other parts of the world with equally low pollution it just doesn't seems as crisp and rich. Thanks for watching 🩴
Interesting..I just searched their website - it seems they do not operate between SGN and ICN? Great review disappointing about the expected premium economy seats
My guess would be it will come back once they have more aircraft to send out. Thanks for watching 🩴
Review Philippine Airlines next please

Wow Sai Gon has returned to its normal chaotic lifestyle

Btw Air Premia will definitely have more route once Korean air/Asiana merge finalized, especially because of antitrust purpose of each route. I am curious to find out their current LAX and EWR route because I have heard so many good thing about it.

Thanks for watching 🩴
LOL
ㅋㅋㅋ
That meal looks cheap? You should fly Singapore Airlines from Singapore to Bangkok... the meal... in a box... said to made from some special paper, for sustainability reasons... that IS cheap for a very premium-priced product.
I don’t compare economy on a full service carrier to premium economy on a LCC… that being said, I do have a review on the channel of SQ from BKK-SIN with the exact box you’re talking about and I thought the food was quite tasty and sufficient for a very short flight.
Ah, these are the Norse Atlantic (formerly Norwegian) seats that I mentioned in a comment a few days ago, so you've already experienced the ridiculous leg room!
Ridiculous as in... good or bad? lol
@@tfft Good! Granted, I didn't think about the length of the arm rest, as I was in an aisle seat, but being 6'4" and having so much leg room was a dream.
Not looking forward to an incoming four-hour flight from London to Istanbul in an A320 with 30" pitch though :(
"You're going to go to Korea, and you're going to watch a Korean movie whether you like it or not" 🤣🤣

Can air primeia maintain business operations with the declining population?
Not sure if this is a serious question…?
Paper cup and plastic cutlery is a reason to avoid air Premia
Were we expecting polished silver on a LCC Premium Economy? Lol
Just talk , they terminated routes to vietnam in 2023
Thanks for sharing ✈️
