Gotta respect your decision to rather spend the money for a hotel on a flight for a new trip report for us and sleep in the terminal instead. Big up for that level of dedication, it's highly appreciated!

I've been flying with Asiana mainly over ten years, and I really dont want Asiana Airlines to be merged with Korean Air together and become a new "Korean Air". Asiana serves exclusive inflight service that would satisfy many passengers, and if aquirey happens, I'm worried if monopoly will happen in Korean airline systems, such as high prices of ticket, and lower service quality. As a korean, I'm very proud of the fact that we have two major airlines with excellent services, and I am really praying for Asiana Airlines for the future.

Sadly it is going to happen and I am very worried too. Korean Air flights are already really expensive, especially compared to Asiana.

Still hoping that the international anti-trust pressure will derail this merger. A monolithic national airline inevitably means higher ticket prices and bad service with little recourse for the passengers.

Those extra legroom seats with lounge access are perfect! That flight was absolutely incredible.

I'm flying in Asiana A350 from Frankfurt to Seoul next week and this video is really helpful to know what to expect in my flight soon. Hope you enjoyed your time in my home country!

Thanks for finally reviewing my favorite airline's long haul product! I've been waiting for this video to come out for months. I can't wait for the A380 and 747 Brutally Honest videos to come out!

Looks like they treated you well with that in-flight service. Hot meals are always a big plus on any flight longer than 3 hours

Absolutely fantastic trip report David!!!

An amazing flight with an even more amazing review video!!

What A Beautiful Air Craft The A350 Are.Great Trip Report

David, I love your videos! Big thanks from Sweden

This king deserves more subscribers, instead of spending money on hotels, he spends night in terminals and a lot more stuff.

Thank you for one more excellent flight review! This one is extra interesting for us because we will fly the exact route but the other direction with Asiana in the beginning of Mars. We hope they keep up the good works!

Fantastic video man!

As a Korean, I hope the merger will be like Air France - KLM and welcome to Korea!

Awesome review video of Long haul product of Asiana airlines ❤...I really appreciate your videos and the contents are really useful for choosing best airlines for travel

this is probably one of the best economy flights ever!

Great review! I will be taking Asiana Airlines to Seoul from Singapore in March. Looking forward to take this airline

Hi Simply. Please come back to Indonesia we have a fair few airlines you haven't flown on such as TransNusa, Sriwijaya, Super Air Jet, etc. Amazing Video btw, keep it up!

Great vid, convenient too since my sister will be flying Asiana

Their schedule has the landing of the a350 in parallel with the KAL 777's departure at SFO, so you can see their planes side by side and it's really cool

I love flying ✈️

Food service looked really, really good!

Excellent video as per usual! Wow does that A350 look good... Makes me wish I was a flight right about now hahaha!

your tripreports are the besttt

Thanks again

Great vid

Great flight, and yeah big respect for not choosing hotel for transit flight, but sleeping at Terminal.

Admire that you braved up and slept in the terminal!!! Recently did the same at J’burg. First was sorta expected, and had a hotel booked…but it was so near the airport that no taxi or Uber would pick me up. Misery. But the security staff purposely looked after me as I tried to sleep on the frigid metal benches, they were so kind, and I happened to have bedding with me. On the return the same due to a cancellation, but on separate tickets so there was no option. I never want that experience again. Asiana looks fantastic! PS - my long hauls were on KLM, and in Economy actually did a final service 35 (!) minutes before landing…one of many constant services…I counted five full services during the flight… stunning.

In 2 days time, I will be travelling on an Asiana A350, so this video is perfect timing! More excitingly, I will then connect onto their A380 to Tokyo, check-in opens in a few hours, so I hope to score a seat on the upper deck. I first flew with Asiana last year, they were solid and good value considering they were charging half of what Singapore Airlines was charging for a similar itinerary. The catering out of Seoul was superb like what David experienced and the A350 seat is good. Just remember to download some content to watch on your own device, because entertainment options are somewhat small and on the A330 I flew on the return flight, the screen was glitchy to touch inputs and the remote was unresponsive. The IFE also ran pretty hot, must have been an older system.

Don't you heard the news? The a350 just crashed with the Q300 as known as the first a350 crash

I flew ASIANA ICN-SFO in September and I echo with you completely. The dishes are exactly the same as mine but they are elegant and delicious. The legroom is very good (much better than united). The amenity kit is a good addition. I would have to say that Asiana actually is better than the already good ANA (I flew LAX-HND in August) in many aspects. Star Alliance in east Asia is competitive (don’t forget EVA Air) and I hope Air China (as one of my home airlines) can catch up😂

Yay simply aviation

As usual hear a video is absolutely well done. Asiana looks like a great Airline and I really hope this merger doesn't happen, because more competition and diversity is always better

I love your videos. I have been watching your videos form a long time and i love the improvement in quality in years. But can you please review new air india express and akasa air in future

I wish all your vids had captions and audio, I really like when even if my phone is far with earbuds I could hear you

The Free showers in Seoul open up at 6:00 or 7:00 AM and they are really clean and they give you free towels and soaps and shampoos are inside. You see people sitting outside waiting for them to open. That way you don't really need lounge access.

What a beautiful and silent flying machine the A350 is!

Hi, I'm going to ride that very same plane now! I'm going to Incheon 😊

as a Star Alliance flyer losing Asiana and SAS is going to really suck and restrict things in the coming years

Looks amazing for today’s standards and far better than Singapore offerings

hey! asiana’s a350 also flies to barcelona

Flew on asiana a few times and have to say they are very impressive.I love their food onboard, especially 삼밥(sambab) I used to fly british airways from London to Seoul, but now i fly with Asiana. Straight away i saw the difference.Asiana has much better food and service. An absolutely phenominal airline.

Finnaly a trip report

the fact that you brave it out in the cold instead of a hotel is why you are #1 youtube aviation channel no debate

I am an Asiana Diamond Plus Member with a Lifetime status. Asiana is my Go To airline when travelling to nothern asia and it never disappointed me. The Smartium seats are great because they have armrests to move up. I had several cases where there was a seat free next to me and you can really enjoy the additional space. This is not possible with the fixed arm rest PremEco at other airlines. Asiana business class is great, the A350 bed is a inch longer and that makes a difference compared to the A380 version. The former First Class seats are available as well, I received an upgrade based on my status several times. But I started flying economy with them and the service and food have been extra everytime. Comparing this to Lufthansa, well..... you cant compare. I am very worried abouth the meger with Korean Air because the quality will degrade for sure.

3:05 Not quite The Jewel. Good review.

Beautiful

15:03 You might have said "Tokyo to Frankfurt" but its Seoul to Frankfurt. Amazing video!

Watching this video made me wanna fly again to Seoul with Asiana Airlines back in 2017!!! 😭

👍Great Review

Nice new video!

This airplane (HL8079), the second A359 delivered to Asiana Airlines, was departing for Jakarta yesterday!

I don't understand how the South Korean government would allow this merger to take place! It's simply anti-competitive for consumers!

Asiana Airlines’ financial status is so bad that no company in the world even agreed on buying Asiana except for Korean Air. Nobody likes Korean Air’s merging Asiana. But Asiana’s former CEO did so many fraud and bad choices for the company, so just going to bankrupt is also very damaging. Eventually, stock holders, banks and the government agreed on the merge.

Would like to see one of air premia.

Please do a review of Braathens Regional Airlines (BRA), it’s a fairly small Swedish airline but with interesting routes and nice service!

I loved it

I have been on Asiana before. Their food in economy class is very good.

Asiana really outshines its other national carrier. We recently flew to VN via Korea and while we usually fly with Korean Air we decided to change it up and boy were we pleased with this decision.

Love from Bangladesh 🇧🇩 ❤️ 💕 💖

Pls do SWISS air a320

3:58 Unfortunately, maglev is not on service due to deficit on finance which makes that line cannot undergo fixing procedure

Can you do a Brutally Honest on Starlux? Love the video. I wanna do a video on Asiana sometime

Taiwan is also duopoly by CI and BR, but now JX is coming.

followed by Singapore and Australia

this must be the most lag-free entertainment system out there, hardly any lag swiping or watching animation play out

watching both videos, i think korean air and asiana are the same in soft product with minor diffrences. I would fly either or if the price is right

How do I make the map animations in most of your vids?

How was the cabin temperature?

Does Asiana allow ppl to buy 2 economy seats for more room comfort?

3 food services? Wow

Thanks a lot for this video. By the way... I missed my LH712 (FRA-ICN) on 13th May 2024 due to a cancelled connection flight (BSL-FRA) and therfore was rebooked on Asiana OZ542. I can confirm your impression 100%. Compared to LH simply more than one level better over all! Great food, very friendly crew, on time... and at least, the much more convinient airplane - Just perfect! I will consider to book Asiana next time direct.

I’m pretty sure Asiana provides free one night hotel stay for overnight layovers, fyi i flew with them in 2019 from the US to China via Incheon

Few days ago i flew domestic with thai airasia. I thought that the plane engine was broken but the captain announced that he’s very proud flying a brand new A320 neo and the engines are just that quiet. You heard Ahaaaaa from all passengers lol

Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines 🫡🫡🫡

can we appreciate how accurate his pronunciation is of Korean and Chinese words lol

Awsome :D

anyway asiana airlines also great

Can you do air premia from southkorea?

Did London Seoul return - the return leg was dragging quite a bit as we had turbulence over Europe and had to avoid some bad weather... And then the luggage took over an hour to arrive... We were knackered 😅 overall i loved asiana - but what was a bit annoying was the fact that they force everyone to shut their blinds for the entire flight... Although thers so much cool stuff to see when flying over central asia to avoid Russia these days :/

Can you try MAI ( Myanair Airways International ) from Singapore to Yangon???😢

Can you guys fly Porter Airlines if possible?

i like an instruction how to eat ssambap, the meal service looks interesting, giving more food in economy class unlike other airlines

Can u please do Volaris airlines Oakland International airport to Guanajuato international airport.

I wonder what Magrethe Vestager In european commission would say.

Fun fact: Asiana is owned by Kumho.. "isnt that a tire manufacturer??" I hear you asking.. Yes.. its that same Kumho.. and thats why you also see the Kumho Group Logo on the Asiana livery :) (the little boomerang looking thing above the A)

UGANDA AIRLINESS!!!!

You have a Kuwait airways korp

Please review Iraqi Airways

I want Cebu pacific again 🙏 please

Isnt it a bit blurry?

Great video. I was planning on flying economy from LAX to BKK on Korean Airlines, but after seeing this video, I'm tempted to fly Asiana. Any recommendations?

I’ve never flown Asiana, but after watching this video I might consider flying with Asiana when I go to Korea for the first time.

Can u do a brutally honest episode with cebu pacific? (specifically their a330neos) Since u already reviewed their competitor, PAL, why not do the budget carrier of the philippines?

Something weird that this video came out a few weeks about a A350 when a few days ago one crashed

Could you also do a Brutally Honest episode on Cathay Pacific, Qatar Airways, Copa Airlines, and LATAM?

Surprised they're not using the A380 on this route. the complimentary lounge access for Economy Smartium is only at Incheon airport. I flew in business class on this plane last April to Seoul Incheon from SFO

The background air conditioning system noise of this a350 is pretty loud.

There is only one thing we know for sure, that Simply aviation is 180 cm tall

I sat twice before, everything worth for a 5 stars, but the IFE is old asf, like it older than me, a330 is same as my age for the ife, and B772 is the oldest one, like it older than me in everything, but luckily the seat is much bigger, while the IFE is EXTREMELY SMALL AND OLD

Please do cebu pacific again in 70 times

Nice soft product but lack of functional internet speeds and overhead air vents on an airline infamous for setting a high ambient temperature is bad. Would also like more information on airport shops/services since that can sometimes be the deciding factor when everything else is roughly equal.
