One of the best things about AirAsia X is how (generally) their business class product is. No, it’s definitely not the best premium cabin you’ll find in Asia, but it’s darn good for the money and well worth it if you find a great deal.
This is footage from flight number 372, A330-300 service from Kuala Lumpur (KUL) to Taipei (Taipei). I was seated in 2K, and the aircraft registration was 9M-XXD.

I guess from the point of a Malaysian. The rice is actually quite good.
what do you mean
Yes specially Nasi Lemak 😂
Hello! I'm a aviation and travel vlogger from Vietnam. I have been following your channel for quite long. Today I drop by to say hi and I have to say that I really enjoy your videos. Very informative and interesting. Nice editing! Wait for your next videos.
Thank you! Glad you’re enjoying my content! 😁
I was in KUL a couple of months ago, really nice airport isn't it. I'd also heard some horror stories about AirAsia , I used them twice and thought they were excellent.
I feel like the UFC livery is more appropriate for United.
🤭😬😂
That is so true.
Guys, that was in 2017. Can we just move on already? And it wasn’t even on United. It was on republic airlines
Love that the red shoes match the livery and interior!
Fun fact: contrary to the name, glutinous rice is actually gluten-free! I really like it but it definitely is definitely a unique texture compared to other rice when cooked
Really?! I had no idea! 😮
Really been enjoying your videos lately! Hoping you get to fly soon, stay safe for the time being!
Your awesome commentary makes watching your videos all the more worth it Scott. Will watch whatever videos you post.
Thanks Lisa! Q&A Video next week. 👍🏻👍🏻
@@sanspotter will be watching for sure
Nice video Scott. Keep up the great job and stay safe!!!
A great video Scott and looking forward to your future uploads, whatever they may be, they’ll be excellent! I hope we all get back in the air soon
Thanks Neil! Looking forward to your upcoming videos as well!
Video was a breeze of fresh air in terms of format made, truly enjoyed it! Subscribed!😁😁 You deserve more subscribers. Keep going 😁
Excellent trip report!
Going to miss these reviews Scott. Looking forward to whatever content you throw our way.
Yay! Another SANSpotter video to Taipei! Awesome video Scott :)
Thanks ‘Tofu!
Hey Scott, I'm 63 this year but over the last 40 years I've traveled over a million miles. I used to work for a major hospitality company. I was based out of Fort Lauderdale/Miami. Was based in San Diego as well so I knew I'll mad San Diego Airport was along with the old LAX. I had plenty of clients in the Orient, and pretty sure I shared a jet with you going back to San Fran seven or eight years ago. I don't know how I found your Channel, but I enjoy your sense of humor and since I'm in a wheelchair now, I enjoy your travels vicariously. I don't know what kind of contact you're going to show, I'm a dog person but would probably enjoy your cat videos LOL. PS I'm six foot eight play football University of Michigan, and do remember chatting about Detroit with you. Thanks for letting me travel with you, stay strong, stay safe and please please stay healthy
Thanks Bill! I’m glad you’re still enjoying my videos, and that you feel as if you can live vicariously through my travels. Unfortunately, there will be a slight pause in the action while I wait for this whole COVID-19 thing to slow down. But yeah - lots of cat content coming soon. 😆
Great trip report scoot!!
based on how it looked, the glutinous rice dish you had is more akin to a popular Chinese dish called Zongzi (aka "Chinese Tamales" - sticky seasoned rice stuffed with different fillings and wrapped in bamboo leaves) i'm guessing it was flavoured similarly and then just presented in the aluminum tin to make it easier to eat! they're good but definitely not at all like normal "fluffy white rice" which is a bit drier and bland
I shall miss your airline reviews but look forward to seeing you return to the skies when it is safe. Until then, I'm excited to see what your channel looks like. You are an underrated star of RUclips and know that you rock! You have now become a part of my entire families lockdown life. Much love to you from Reading in the UK. Perhaps I can host you for a very English cuppa once you can get across the Atlantic!
Thanks Simon! I’m glad that I’m able to provide some entertainment for you and your family. Hopefully I’ll be able to get back over there soon!
Another great review, looking forward to the new content
Thanks Jon!
Fun fact did you know that the food on board AirAsia is so good that they had to create their own food franchise, next time try the Nasi Lamak which is their specialty
I’m definitely looking forward to trying that next time!
Awesome video Scott, looks way more comfortable than my AirAsia X flight I took a few years back from KIX to HNL in the back of the plane. Also... "Alone in business class..." I think the guy at the other end of the row at 4:38 might have to disagree with you on that 😉😂
Great Video once again Scott!
I’m surprised how you don’t have at least 100k subscribers
Thanks John! I’m definitely an acquired taste. 😆
First few seconds of the video and COMPLETELY BLOWN AWAY by the quality and presentation of the video
Nice as always!
Thanks Adrian!
some of us really appreciate the return of colorful shoes!
I bought them specifically for this trip actually. Gotta match AirAsia as much as possible! 😆
Glutinous rice is actually so bomb I love it sm
Your voice when narrating is very unique but interesting and personable. Idk just something I noticed. love your videos!
As always enjoyable, quirky video Scott, A330 looking tired and out of date with 2-2 in business class, although for the price, what you get, it's not that bad, I think aviation will return as normal, but will have do social distancing and people will clean like crazy. Your style is unique which a nice change from typical type flight review. Stay safe and healthy
Thanks Shane! Yes, it’ll be a bit different once we get back in the air again I’m sure. Hopefully it happens soon.
This guys deserves same subs as San Chui!!
When this is over would you ever do a meet up or something like that?
Cant wait for upcoming AirAsia X fleet with the new A330Neo.
Haven’t watched this yet but already know it’s gonna be nice
Edit: Just watched it, was a banger 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks Nikhil! 🔥🔥
Glutinous rice is ‘sticky’ rice. It’s meant to be that consistency. It’s actually pretty delicious but maybe not the most suitable food to be had from airline.
Awesome video... I miss flying..✈️
Thanks! Me too. 🙁
That rice looked ... interesting! But I'm guessing sort of filling?! Can't wait to see what videos you have in store for us and we hope we can all travel again soon.. i miss seeing planes flying over my city! Take care and best wishes from down under!!!
Glutinous rice is a staple on the Chinese menu... sometimes called sticky rice. It’s usually wrapped and cooked in lotus leaf. It’s a favourite on dim sum menus.
Thanks Steph! The rice was ok - I’ve had Japanese sticky rice that was much better than this. 👍🏻👍🏻
Hope you enjoyed Malaysia!
I did! And I can’t wait to go back!
SANspotter yeah, you should try MAS/MH1/2/3/4, these are the MH A350 flights from EGLL T4 to WMKK. This is the flagship of MAS
Nice Video SANSpotter! Love it, don’t be catching corona we need you to keep us sane.😆
Once again I am enjoying your trip report and I am gonna miss your videos for a while. :(
Scott I loved your Air Asia X video. I thought for the money I paid, it was totally worth it. Too bad you didn’t try out the wacky Air Asia lounge at KUL. Probably the absolute weirdest lounge I’ve ever been in. I also thought the gates were weird as after you’ve passed security your food and shopping options are limited. However, the food was delicious I apologize for your disappointing meal hahaha and seats are great for the price! Another great video, Scott!
Thanks! I really wish I would have checked out that lounge. I can’t believe I missed it! 😮
You really love the new shoes don’t you? Love the videos, looking forward to the return to normal service once COVID-19 is in the past
Haha, I do. I really do. 😅
Life will just not be the same without a SANspotter flight review. May we all be back in the skies soon...
Thanks John! I’ll do my best to keep the content flowing!
are you going to do a review on the eva air flight you took back to lax after this one?
You haven’t been watching my videos recently have you? 😆 I published the EVA video last week. 😄
Another great upload, shame we won't get another for a while, stay safe.
Thanks Steve - I cant wait to fly again!
Yoooo those headphones in business class? Amazing 👌👌
They were a little dirty, but still pretty nice - and they sounded great!
D00d! Your shoes matched business class!
Who says I have no style? 😆
sheesh the leg room
Don't you have a film for you return flight to San Diego (or did I miss something)?
It was the EVA TPE-LAX video I posted last week.
you seem like a pretty creative guy with a sense of humor. I'm sure whatever you create will be entertaining
Thanks Alex! I’ll come up with something...
Always enjoy your videos maybe at some point have a live q and a?
Thanks! Although it won’t be live, I am posting a Q&A video next week. 👍🏻
You should visit KLIA1 too. KLIA2 is a no-frills airport while KLIA1 is a world class airport
Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific are full service airlines while AirAsia is a low cost carrier airline like RyanAir and Easyjet. Comparing AirAsia to Singapore Airlines and Cathay Pacific is like comparing a Prius to an S Class.
But it’s far more fun to compare a Prius to an S Class. 😆
Lol 😂
Thank you, Scott! :-) Looking forward to the upcoming videos with the new content. How about a cooking class video for glutinous rice and the famous Virgin Atlantic Malvani chicken curry?
You’re very welcome Mark! Yeah, coming up with content ideas is a lot harder when I actually have to think. It was so much easier when I could just fly everywhere! 😅
4:20 Hay looks familiar 😉 Air Asia (Not Air Asia X) just last month launched flight to my city.
I flew out of KLIA 2 a couple years ago and Air Asia had a lounge which was ok. Did you have access to it? I'd like to try Air Asia X business class. The fares are really quite good for the product you get. Food, stick to the chicken rice or nasi lemak.
For some reason or another it didn’t even occur to me that they had a lounge. I’ll definitely check it out the next time I fly through there!
Mfw SANspotter is gonna stop uploading for awhile: 😭
I’ll still be uploading...but not any airline reviews for a while unfortunately. 🙁
Oh that’s a relief
All is forgiven Scott...at least we can enjoy your travels and you are still posting great content...don't worry about in which order !!!! They love UFC in Asian countries ( not for me !!) Kick boxing is a huge sport (especially of course in Thailand) but also in many places including Malaysia....FYI Glutinous rice is a type of rice grown mainly in Southeast and East Asia, Northeastern India and Bhutan which has opaque grains, and is especially sticky when cooked. It is widely consumed across Asia.
It is called glutinous in the sense of being glue-like or sticky, and not in the sense of containing gluten (which it does not). Scott also called "sticky rice" in some places !! Sad to watch the last airborne video from you Scott. I shall of course keep an eye out for any video you post (yes I have hit the bell !! ) Take care mate and another great flight...except for the rice !!!
Thanks Craig! There’s a lot I need to learn about sticky rice (and UFC) see. 😆 Hope you’re doing well!
@@sanspotter Thanks again for the reply !! Great stuff Scott and really appreciate it !!
The Air Asia footwear is a nice touch. :-)
Haha, I like to color-coordinate as much as possible. 😆
Were all gonna miss your trip reports Scott. I can’t wait till all of this calms down and you can start doing trip reports again.
Thanks Kit! Hopefully I’ll be back in the air soon. 👍🏻
Glutinous rice was actually one of my favourite snacks as a kid, but it's not for the faint-hearted! ;) Nice review
Thanks Alvin! It’s an acquired taste, for sure. 😆
Did you get a good price for this flight? Loved the video!
Thanks! Yeah, it was a really good price for business class!
Gloopy Rice. It's been a pleasure again, Scott! Looking forward to what you are up to now. Cats, I presume. And maybe some light vlogging.
A little bit of both coming soon! 😆
Gutted this is your last aviation video for a while but I'm looking forward to all your home videos of your kitty! 💚 Also, curious what the video was you were watching of Varna, Bulgaria? :) Stay safe Scott
Thanks! Lots of cat content coming up. Probably. 😅 And to be honest, I can’t even remember what I was watching. It was a comedy of some kind, but for some reason or another I can’t recall the name…
@@sanspotter Cannot wait!!! Woooooo
Can you post a plane spotting video with your wit? Would be fantastic...maybe while having a picnic waiting for cargo planes at SAN while eating some homemade rice perhaps...
Haha! It would be a really boring video of me going from pale white to sunburn in less than 10 minutes. 🔥😅
Yet another ace video....but that food was nasty. Took my mind off the shoes!
Stay safe.
Thanks Colin! You know the food is especially nasty when it distracts people from my obnoxious shoes. 😁
Glutinous rice is sweet sticky rice. If you eat it cooked correctly you will love it
Kind of like mango rice (in Thailand?). Now that’s the kind of sticky rice I love!
@@sanspotter yes like that. Not sure what happened to the one you ate. Love your Channel look forward to your video every week!
Do you actually stay a couple of days at the places you land at? While good videos, it feels like you land for example, Singapore, then that same day you are on a return flight taking a different airline. Does customs question you why you are at cities for such a short amount of time?
Nope, I usually stay at least one night (sometimes more) at every destination.
Nice. Going to miss you. :D
Thanks! I won’t completely disappear though. I’ll still be uploading most every week, although I’m not quite exactly sure what kind of content it will be…
first question: are those theatre seats comfy?
second: do the business class seats look outdated?
third and finally: holy mother of god they have iPads on there!?
stay safe man.
1. Nope
2. A little
3. Haha, yup! 😄
Cat memes are far superior to knowing where you're most likely to catch a deadly illness.
I mean come on, cats are amazing for people who are as lonely as me.
Also I don't need to know where I'm going to die because I never leave my house normally.
More cat content coming soon... 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hie Scott, I am suprise to see myself in the video but thanks for the good review and content. I Love it. I really hope you enjoyed the flight and apart from the glutinous rice, pls do try out our Nasi Lemak next time. Carol Wu
Thanks for such a good flight Carol! This was my first time on AirAsia X - and it was a really fun experience (except for for the glutinous rice 😆). Everyone keeps recommending that I try the Nasi Lemak next time, so I definitely will. 👍🏻
Awesome video like always. Yea that rice looked awful. But it's all for science. :) Still wouldn't mind doing a trip report on them one day.
lol saying glutinous rice is awful is like saying that shake shack is trash, it's just wrong
Thank you! I keep telling everyone my trips are for “scientific research” but nobody believes me. 😆
Nice video! But I have a request, would you mind putting the flight time in the description? Thank you Scott
Thanks! Good idea - will do! 👍🏻
@@sanspotter stay safe!
Forgot to mention that AirAsia is a low cost carrier and one of the best out there... think Jetstar or Ryanair. The business class fares on AirAsia are usually the same price as an economy fare on full service airlines.
Also, Glutenous rice (or sticky rice) is a Chinese dish and quite the delicacy. Usually wrapped in lotus leaf and it’s a staple in the dim sum menu... it’s not badly cooked rice. AirAsia actually has pretty decent food and you’d be hard pressed to find good food like that on other budget carriers. Would recommend the nasi lemak or the chicken rice next time though.
I also think you are able to purchase extra food and drink outside of the included business class meal.
Didn’t know the provided iPads and pretty awesome Sony noise cancelling headphones (I use those when I travel) now! Last time I sat in that seat from Seoul to KL, there was no entertainment.
Did you go to the AirAsia lounge?
I missed it. For some reason or another it never really occurred to me that there would be a lounge. Next time!
I think Airasia X not have lounges at KLIA2 ,
This is not a goodbye but not seeing Scott in a plane , it’s going to be weird but as a fan, I can’t wait for Scott post-Quarantine. Be safe!
Thanks Jazmin - you too!
I had that a330 model of airasia X UFC fighter livery .
It’s a nice looking livery for sure! This was the first time that I’ve ever seen it up close, and I didn’t realize how much detail they put into it.
If it was quite cheap, the comfy seat and legroom was worth it. If I had known about the glutenous meal I would have packed a good sub sandwich. Certainly safer than being in the packed economy cabin.
When do you think we'll be flying again?
Hopefully by July! Realistically, it may be August IMHO...
@@sanspotter I hope this doesn't go long. I have some serious flights coming up over Christmas. I'm so worried. AA business from ORD to LHR. Then Emirates business to Singapore and First Class on the way back. Plus a bunch of us legacy flights prior.
It's nice to see you in Asia... Can I hire you to do my thumbnails too? :D
Yeah, it’s always nice to visit that part of the world. You’re lucky to live there! And no...I hate creating these thumbnails (they take far too much of my time), so...sorry I can’t help. 😆😆
Great review as always. Yep that chicken and rice did not look that appealing compared to the one in your other Air Asia review. Gonna miss these aviation reviews for now. But can’t wait to see you apply your sarcasm to your new content. Stay safe Scott
Just saying that sticky rice is famous in China, we make 粽子 with it and it’s really good, you just haven’t got used to it
Business=first class?? Can you do an episode on the different class of cabins?? And the different lounges and how to get access? Us vs Europe vs Asia?
Good ideas Gregory! Possibly...🤔🤔
KLIA still looks more scenic than all US/EU hub airports. As for Air Asia? Mass market people mover. Red is a nice, mass market livery.
Stay safe
Thanks! You too. 👍🏻
You never mentioned the price?
spoiler alert! it's cheap
maybe sanspotter should join the flight sim community and do flight sim videos during this time
Be careful what you ask for - because I just might do that. 😆
as an asian i was pretty disturbed at how you ate the rice in such tiny amounts alone without getting a bite of the dimsum thing with it
Haha, there’s a lot I have to learn 😄
That other Air Asia X on the ramp has the Manny "PacMan" Pacquiao Livery.
What about domestic travel within the US?
Still not safe, but that’s likely all I’ll be able to do for a while once things start getting better.
pity u didnt try Malaysia Airlines..,.tht would be interesting
Hopefully I’ll get to try them once things get better.
@@sanspotter do try the flagship LHR-KUL
The other special livery is Manny Pacquiao and not UFC. Great video Scott!
Just goes to show how much I know about the UFC. 🤦🏼♂️😄
@@sanspotter Pretty much. 🤣
I work in the N*S, and there is a word floating that this whole virus thing will last past Winter 2021, since there are predictions that the virus will resurface by autumn, and especially in winter.
So guess this is the farewell, or last episode of SANspotter. It was unceremonious, but it was good enough to see it.
PS: you can be a gamer, try playing that RE3 Remake and we'll see how you go. :)
🙁🙁🙁🙁 I really hope things get better before then!
DYK:
AirAsiaX/9M-XXP/
Manny "Pacman" Pacquiao is not a UFC Fighter, he is a Boxer based in the Philippines, and he is commonly known around the world
Just goes to show how little I know about boxing I guess. 😬😆
7:54 could you imagine drinking the tap water LOL (side note: Glutinous rice is actually quite delicious, you just got to try some more! :))
Actually, I’ve always wondered if the water that the FA’s serve is just tap water from the sink. 🤔🤢😅
How many times is Scott going to mention chicken and rice this episode take a drink every time he does
Y’all gonna get hammered. 🤪😄
Will you still be posting
Yes! Mostly once a week still. I’m doing a Q&A Video next week.
Thanks for subsiding my boredom 😅
You’re very welcome. 😅
Can you put full airport names?
Maybe...I’ll have to figure out how to fit them in...
@@sanspotter oke
* Low cost carrier. Not business class. Its called premium lay flat.
Premium flat bed
I will miss your videos Scott! Hopefully you can post something else like you cat rolling over! Lol. Seriously though, I love your videos and look forward to seeing more when life gets back to normal. Hopefully sooner than later!
Thanks Anita! Lots of cat action coming to this channel soon. 👀🍿😂
