Thats not BTS, its SuperM. Thank you for for the in flight video, i’m flying with Korean air soon and like to have visuals before hand
Thank you so much for this video! 🙏🏻 You’re really helpful! I’m more calm about my trip now. FYI: at 07:32 they’re not Bts, but Exo and Nct members ☺️ korean air is in partnership with another entertainment company called SM so they have stuff on board with those artists.
Best Korean Air review of Economy, you showed everything that was relevant to assess. First review I see showing how far chairs recline! Thank you.
Miss flying and this was the perfect antidote. Thank you.
What a great flight in the air!
KAL crew are the best👏 Love flying with KAL, just came backed 2/24/23
Lesss goooooo @thetripreporter 🤩👌🏼😍
wonderful and smooth flight
Planning to visit Seoul next year; very helpful video!
sensational flight video.excellent review from the majestic 747-8i.
One of the best in-flight vlogs i have seen yet...5-Star sir!! I will now subscribe... 😊👌
That was an amazing flight 🤘
Great flight video. I hope you enjoyed the trip. 👍
Nice video! Thank you 😊
Excellent video, thanks for sharing :)
I fly Korean regularly between Incheon and Vietnam. Last time I went to Nha Trang they were rocking an old 737, a noticeable downgrade from the also aging 330 pre pandemic. But the cabin crew are always first rate. Will be on the 74 next week to lax, can’t wait!
Flying Korean from JFK to Incheon next week, great video to see what I should expect. Never flown in a 747 before.
I really enjoyed watching your video- it was very informative. I really hope I can fly Korean air 747-8 from Honolulu to Tokyo. That would be awesome. Thank you so much for your hard work and this very informative video. Oh and also thank you so much for not trying to be a Steven Spielberg with the music score and everything.😂
However, I'm flying with Korean Air B787-9 this May but watching your videos flying with KA makes me feel more excited about going back home to Cebu. Thank you for uploading
Very good video. Wanted to see the interior of their 747s. The wing and engines look almost new. The food was okay also esp compared to United.
I think you could have used the bus to Bradley terminal don’t know now but have used in the past Thanks J
You're lucky no one sat in the seat next to you. I'm thinking of visiting S. Korea from LAX but couldn't be stuck in a middle seat or every seat full for those long of flights. I'm shopping for economy + or business class if I can find a good deal. Thanks for the video. 👍

Thanks for sharing. Huge like. I already flew once with Korean Air. It was in 2016. I took the A380 from CDG to ICN. Then the 77W from ICN to Manila. This year it will be the -8 for CDG-ICN. Can't wait. Do you think they will make a transit tour in Seoul? Because I will have 7:30 hours layover during my return flights in September.
You guys were in a race with asiana a380
Do 747s look more intimidating in terms of size compared to a330s?
22:53 The other option(Beef rice) may be an Korean traditional food, Kimchi Fried rice.
7:43 I think the asiana a380 was also going to Seoul
Construction between T3 and Bradley international terminal is now complete so no more going through TSA security twice.

Very nice video. The food looks great! I love Korean food. I love to fly the 747-400 or 8i, I don’t care as long as the queen of the sky, the problem is here in Seattle their aircraft service is the 777-300ER, I checked San Francisco and even LA but they are all 777-300ER, what flight number, day and time this aircraft scheduled?

That was a great video. Hope you had a nice time in the Philippines. My wife and I are flying to Bangkok in August (2024) and after watching your video, I'm seriously considering flying Korean Airlines. Have you ever flown on the Korean Airlines A380? If so, which one do you prefer when flying to Asia?

I’ve only flown Asiana’s A380, both are good but it has been a while since I last flew Asiana. Depending on where you are connecting through or departing from if you have the choice to take Asiana’s A380 I’d say do theirs

As an avgeek myself, I would prefer Korean Air, Delta, and Air China the best. No other airline is better than those three, in my opinion Lunch: Chicken, Beef, or Bibimbap Lunch: Chicken With Potatoes or Beef With Rice

I would recommend writing to the airline to ask for their permission for pre-boarding for the video. I think Sam Chui does that for most of his videos even when he's flying first class.
Sure there were lots of bags on the baggage claim from this big flight
the group is not BTS, it is Super M.
I had a 16hr trip from Chicago ohare airport to incheon korea airport,, lay over 6hr flight to philippines... I had anxiety from Korea to philippines round trip... delta was perfectly fine but then Korean Air had me worried as I seen asian pilot fatal errors and then as I waited on the terminal all Korean planes had paint missing and welding on their tail wings... the elevation on the plane were harsh and we had turbulence for like 5min straight.... just glad I made it safe to my destination and back home. Overall its my route there and I have to go through it.
