Hey Noel. Let me explain what "rabbit milk" is. The milk you were drinking was produced by a company called "White Rabbit" (In Chinese there is the word "white" in front of "rabbit", I'm surprised that they don't keep the "white" in English). White Rabbit is a lengendary local brand in Shanghai specialized in producing milk candies. We locals in Shanghai have a lot of affection for this brand.

For context: there’s two terminals at Shanghai Hongqiao Airport. Noel went to T1, rather than T2. If he was aware, the Taxi would have dropped him directly at T2, and there’s no need for a metro ride. A majority of the flights to bigger tier cities like Chengdu always depart from T2. Likewise, you can choose your seating on China Eastern if you download their App and Pre-check. As a foreigner in China, your seat is granted but subject to passport verification on arrival. With regards to the “Rabbit Milk” please note that Rabbit is a “candy” brand and the milk is a marketing collaboration between a milk company and a candy company. It is NOT real rabbit milk. 😂

Just remember that, in Hongqiao Airport, most of the domestic flight all departures from Terminal 2, while Terminal 1 is mostly for International flight and domestic flight of Spring Airlines and Xiamen Airlines.

Awesome! You must be 1 of the 1st, if not the 1st, flight reviewer of the C919 ! 👍👍👍....and yes uncanny resemblance to existing competitor aircraft !!

That’s a video that really keeps up with the trend. Hongqiao Airport has been in operation for several decades, dating back from the KMT era. It was the main international gateway of Shanghai until the beginning of 21st century. The terminal 1 is the old one, it mainly serves cross-border flights to Seoul, Tokyo, HongKong, Macau and Taipei, and the low cost carrier Spring Airlines’ domestic flights. Terminal 2 was built at the beginning of the 10s, it is more modern and serves domestic flights within mainland China. Two terminals are at the opposite side of the runways, and are connected by metro and buses. This is a bit similar to Sydney’s Kingsford Smith International Airport.

The high speed trains are very good. I took a ride from Shanghai to Hangzhou sometime back. very stable, fast. I enjoyed the quick trip then.

Especially in big cities where there are several airports terminals so knowing which terminal and going to the right one is very important otherwise you'll end up in some unwarranted panic and mad rush.

10:40 - When the C919 was launched, some of the Western Media discredited it by saying that its not entirely made in China because many of its parts are not made in China. What they didn't tell you was that even Boeing planes are not 100% USA, they relied on parts from over 500 differnt companies from countries around the world including China. Yes, engines currently used are from France/US but China is already developing their own 1000A series for civilian aircrafts and these will be ready within a few years. And for those people who said that the C919 has a bleak future because it will never get FAA or Europe certification, the C919 wasn't design to fly over long distantces, it was designed for the China and South East Asia markets so even without the Western markets it still has a bright future.

I would definitely try a flight on the C919, but it's unlikely to be flying in Europe in the near future and I have no plans to visit China any time soon, although I would like to. Getting a visa is not always straightforward. At first glance, the cabin looked to be a little more spacious at the front and rear; in my experience it's more normal to have one toilet at the front and two at the back on A320s or 737s, so the Comac has an extra one at the front. As Noel says, the aircraft is constructed from parts manufactured in countries all around the world, but then so are Boeings and Airbuses, so nothing unusual there. Nice one Noel, the new Texan!

Also with cabin moisture so high I’m just curious about corrosion on components as I believe the fuselage is composite. And it would be cool if you had a meter to measure cabin altitude pressure to compare aircraft to aircraft. Just another gadget for you to carry. Safe travels until the next one ☝️

The C919 looks like a nice plane and I'd be happy to fly on one.

No Chinese can stand a misunderstanding like that.

In 0:09 the comac C919 is indicated as airbus 320 and the airbus 320 as the comac C919.

Its tongue-in-cheek because they look so similar

Thanks so much for sharing. Looks like an amazing plane. Beats 737 from what I see. Consumers will always benefit from extra competition. Hope to give it a go someday.

Really cool video! Thanks for filming this. Really enjoyed it. The food looked good. Thanks for filming this

Amazing vedio depicting the C919 which is the game changer in the Chinese aviation industry.

Congratulations China. We shall be glad to do business with you. I like the C919 outlook. Kudos!

Rabbit is the brand ! . The packing said cow's milk.

Refreshments looks great for only a 3 hour flight!

WOW Noel WOW! Flying the COMAC C919 what an incredible achievement and quite a story! 😮 I hope to maybe fly it someday too and also I hate to say it but the C919 looks pretty nice and comparable to the A320neo or B737-8X 🎉 I hope China 🇨🇳 succeeds with this aircraft and I hope COMAC continues strong as more competition makes better aircraft for everyone! Although I think the C919 and A320neo are so similar looking to one another that the B737-8X and the B737 program still looks much much better in my opinion!! 🎉😂 Cheers 🥂 my friend! Excellent video!

It's not rabbit milk, it says cow milk on the carton @16:56. Giant Rabbit is the brand name.

I legit do hope they find more buyers for this plane, it is a legitimately really pretty looking aircraft. I mean its no Concorde or Comet but it is pretty to look at and somehow they managed to make those hideous looking LEAP engines actually look good.

They wouldn't be able to make new tech like Concorde unless they have one to copy!

The relative humidity thing is really enticing me to try this plane (and I bet the humidity is locally made)...

Your videos are very much appreciated Noel,great video fella 👍😉💪

Some years ago, Airbus and China made a deal to assemble the Airbus In kit form delivered to China. It comes as no surprise the COMAC resembles an Airbus.

Best memory flying domestic into Chengdu was the meal service, particularly one of the flight attendants following the cart with a spoon and jar of hot sauce. Noel, I hope you like spicy food. Sichuan is a culinary wonderland!

Noel, with all of your aviation experience, have you seen any other than planes/satellite anomalies? Maybe you can make a short vid on this subject. Many Thanks!

Those aircraft look good ... on par with any 737 or A320.

Nice one Noel👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Very nice review. Cannot wait to take my own flight of C919 when having a chance. 5:53 FYI, one can see many sensors on the plane's front (those black pointy items). It is not a standardized configuration for planes like A320, B737. I hope it will be a trend for all modern planes.

@daigriffiths399

I see two AOA sensors, two pitot tubes and what is probably an air pressure port at the bottom. The starboard side of the aircraft should have at least one more AOA sensor and one more pitot tube. Standard configuration for Airbus but not for Boeing, for some reason. Boeing have generally made do with two of each sensor (don't say 737-MAX).

Addendum: on the rollout at the start of the video you can see the other pitot tube and AOA sensor on the starboard side of the nose.

Welcome to chengdu, my hometown and the home of panda. 🎉

It's not a rabbit milk but the brand! Actually this brand is very popular with milk candies especially with kids! Lokking forward to travel with the C919 this summer too! About the safety concerns since vital parts are imported and proved reliable for years this plane will be fine. Don't forget other modern transport in China such the high speed trains and maglev they got are all doestically made with millions of trips every week and no accidents for years.

The second Chinese-made plane review after the Xian MA60 you flew 3 years earlier in Nepal! Finally seeing a blogger blogging in Mainland China after 3 years of isolation due to the pandemic!

Great point, but just for a minor correction, the second Chinese aircraft is actually the ARJ21 regional airliner that has been in service for years domestically in China.

9:53 The Grand Prix circuit! Nice shot.

Wow! What an outstanding experience😁

Thanks for sharing with us your experience!

The rarest plane I got to fly on was a Helvetic Airways Embraer E190-E2 from Florence (FLR) to Zurich (ZRH). It was a pretty good plane to fly on.

I've seen plenty of E195-E2s, but the 190 indeed is quite rare. Rarest plane I've ever been on was a Fokker 100, though it was decidedly less rare back then (2007~08).

The rarest airplanes I've flown on were a Convair CV-340 (1960), Douglas DC-7 (1960), Douglas DC-3, (1960 first time, last in 1985, when it was getting rare), and Aerospatiale N262 (1980 first time).

Thanks to the LEAP engine, the C919 is impressively quiet.

Yeah, it is a good engine, but The quietness has more to do with him being in the front row than the engine itself

Greta video Noel; I flew this exact same route from Hongqiao to Tianfu with Spring airlines back in March. Tianfu is a lovely airport. Shame you couldn't spend more time in China. Chengdu's an interesting city and home to the famous pandas.

Great video Noel looks like a great plane

I always like the “recline or not” discussion 13:16 cuz I believe the extra space you get when people in front of you don’t recline is granted by them. You should feel free to recline, it’s your seat control and seat space. Maybe just don’t complain when you are snugged? (I’m almost the same height as you btw)

@TonyMichaels6195

Жыл бұрын

Agreed...the seats have a recline button for a reason. Sitting upright for a long flight would be very uncomfortable isn't that why the seats recline 🤔 What do you think Noel ?

Very nice looking plane. I would definitely fly in this. Safe travels Noel!!

Really Good review Noel. Thanks for posting.
