Im thai so i can explain why.They use big plane because lot of people are coming to bangkok and phuket sometime they use this as a connect flight plane.
At Basrah airport, Iraq, there are 3 security checkpoints: 1 on the road to go to the airport (2 kms. before arriving, military checkpoint with metal detectors for people and baggages. You have to show the airticket) The second at the entrance of the airport and the last after check in just before the gate.
On my short trip to Thailand last month, one of the main reasons behind going to Phuket was that I would get a chance to fly on the queen of the skies. The dream came true - and that too with the permission to get into the cockpit of the 747! On my way from HKT to BKK, I get to sit on the seat of the first officer's seat to get a proper look at the instruments after landing! And I was also given the pilot's wing by the first officer to take as a souvenir! I had a economy class ticket, and didn't get a good seat during boarding which was later changed to a window seat right beside the engines, and then I got the chance to sit in the business class on the upper deck! Oh, and not to mention, the meal was really good as well!
Paul's Trip Reports I have a relative who works in the Boeing 747 program and he says the company is committed to supporting all existing 747 aircraft with more efficient engines and refurbishment and maintenance for the foreseeable future but yes the 747-8 Intercontinental is selling modestly well in passenger and cargo configurations. The -8 was not a huge expense to produce like a new aircraft and Boeing had modest expectations. It is still the flagship and will out last the A380 because it is much less expensive to maintain and operate and is more versatile. It also has a fantastic operational history literally all over the world.
There’s also a security point right at the entrance of Antalya Airport, Turkey. Had to scan our bags and bodies before we could check in. Then again after check-in! Good security though.
Cool video. I've been watching some of your videos lately and am glad you enjoy the service of some asian airlines. Am asian myself living here in Germany since 40 years. I was a flight attendant flying for a german airliine for more than 20 years. The charm of little details and a simple smile is what service is all about.
It's not that old because Thai air recently upgraded the entire 747 fleet when I went on the 747 they only had over overhead projectors in economy class so they have upgraded it
I'm not sure if its a norm here in South East Asia. But in my country also there are two security check points as well one before the entrance to the check-in hall and a second in the entrance of the departure hall. It can be hussel especially the 2nd security check point requires the removal of shoes. I usually wear sandals before entering the terminal here. Then when inside the departure hall change to shoes.
hahah I love that your sort of pretended to shower before you left, or maybe you did lol. I'm really tempted to take that flight, would you say its worth it or just a waste or time ?
Having seen your several wonderful flight reports, I m really glad to find that we have the same taste on seat selection: Just a little behind the wing!!!
Caught the same flight probably on the same aircraft late at night, it was VERY hurried and it started to take off before the flight attendants were seated. 🤔🇹🇭🇦🇺
One World Flyer the reason is the European Union(EU)!!! EU is destroing whole Europe. Especially the flight market. The Open Sky is foundet by the EU and is very good for Ryanair etc.
Loved seeing 747 wish they were still araund we would do 22 hours going to greece love them that was a pleasure flight miss it bad i would pay double to fly with 747
Awesome service for domestic route, here in Pakistan most domestic routes are served by a320s, a321s, a319s, 737s and ATRs and the service is ok here in domestic.
Very nice review. Huge like. The B747 is one of my favorite aircraft. I often travel from France to the Philippines and i saw there is still opportunity to ride the 744 of Thaï Airways from München to Bangkok. I will try it before it will be too late. I didnt experience thaï Airways yet.
It´s a normal flight. It's flying from Bangkok (BBK) to Phuket (HKT) and back. We were not the first on board so that's why some passengers were already in the plane!
1* for Phuket airport,10*for this beautiful 747-400. 4*for Thai Airways 2*for meal 2* for economic class 10* for Bangkok airport and of course 10* for you.
I LOVE TO FLY ASIAN AIRLINES, THEY ARE CHEAP! THERE's NOTHING CHEAP ABOUT THAI AIRLINES UNLESS YOU LIVE IN COUNTRIES LIKE AUSTRALIA,NORWAY,SOUTH KOREA,USA OR TAX FREE LUXEMBOURG STATE AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES PULLING TONS OF MONEY DOING REGULAR JOBS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE BUS DRIVER OR HANDY , ASK THAI PPL HOW CHEAP THAI AIRWAYS IS .
Vito John Amato last time I flew Vietnam Airlines business class it was pretty good but The lounge was shit. I actually prefer the product on VN-A383 (three rows of J class instead of four) to the 787 business class. But Thai Airways has a better product in terms of food and service.
i cannot believe they have such a big plane for such a short journey.
The demand for this flight is high
Im thai so i can explain why.They use big plane because lot of people are coming to bangkok and phuket sometime they use this as a connect flight plane.
@@FelixExplores THAI has ordered 45 Boeing 787-9
Rest in peace for the 747 and the a380s of thai airways 🇹🇭

Can't blame them it's Iraq, they're constantly under threat
Sad they’ve got rid off this beautiful planes love the 747
I really love the Boeing 747-400 and the rest of the type of the 747, wish they might back on service...
Philippines
Always special to see a flight report onboard a B747 these days. Therefore I really enjoyed watching your video once again :)
Thanks a lot!

Spectacular video! Must have been awesome to fly the 747 on such a short flight. Keep up the fantastic work! :D
Thank you very much! The 747 is an awesome plane to fly!

Sounds like an awesome experience!
It really was! The hospitality of Thai Airways is simply amazing!
A fascinating glimpse into the past. Here’s to a long gone but fondly remembered era.
Thailand is where I live ad it is certainly a beautiful country!
Hi I’m Thai I like Thai airway ;-;
Hello from Germany. Thai Airways is a great airline. Hope Thailand opens for tourists again soon. Stay healthy.
Auf die 747 habe ich mich schon gefreut. :) Wie immer ein prima Video. Danke dafür. :)
Vielen Dank fürs Anschaun!
Great report. Only seen two security checkpoints before, at Istanbul Ataturk - one at the entrance to the airport and one going airside.

In Turkey every airport has 2 security checks

Thanks, bro! Have a nice flight!

To upgrade the cabin does not change the plane‘s age ;)
4:34 yeah I remember the one of the many times i flew with thai and one of the overhead thingy opened when the plane took off lol...
(I think it was a boeing 777
Nice tripreport! I love 747s
+Enej Fürst Thanks!
When do you want to try the Garuda Indonesia airline ?
Beautiful photos of the coastline!
I am a fan of 747s.Great experience flying in a Thai's one.Beautiful video.
Thanks! Yes, the 747 is simply majestic!
Only one of the few remaining Domestic 747 flights...
Im flying it christmas of 2020!
747s are the best!

I did take a shower ;) I would say it`s worth it. Really cool experience!
Super Awesome video 👌
Thank you!
Amazing video mate, I'm gonna take this flight in a few months, was really helpfull! I sub you!
Thanks! Safe travels ;)
Having seen your several wonderful flight reports, I m really glad to find that we have the same taste on seat selection: Just a little behind the wing!!!
Thank you for watching! That's the best wingview! ;-)
Fju.dnsba....dkl.msgsnh
Den Flug hatte ich gestern auch. Nur mittlerweile als WE202 mit A320
It's a beautiful plane, great report
Thank you!
Great report man !! Is it 50fps ???
+Pranay Yerram Thank you! Yes, it is!
IFE isn’t that old. KLM still has some planes in their fleet with the first generation IFE.
How many time you have to be in the airport afuera your flight???
Caught the same flight probably on the same aircraft late at night, it was VERY hurried and it started to take off before the flight attendants were seated. 🤔🇹🇭🇦🇺
Thank you
You're welcome! Thanks for watching!
Amazing video! I like Asian airlines too, I just strange and awkward when flying European airlines when you have to pay for nearly everything 😂
Thanks a lot!
One World Flyer the reason is the European Union(EU)!!!
EU is destroing whole Europe. Especially the flight market. The Open Sky is foundet by the EU and is very good for Ryanair etc.
Asian Airlines is better than EU Airlines
You get what you pay for, can't have champagne on beer budget.
The card you use in your video where you have entered your route from Phuket to Bangkok where I find it on the internet :-) :-)
We create the cards by ourselves with mapstyle.withgoogle.com.
Thanks :-)
Loved seeing 747 wish they were still araund we would do 22 hours going to greece love them that was a pleasure flight miss it bad i would pay double to fly with 747
Nice video fully watched.. Please advice for me a good Hotel at phuket my visit Will be on August end to Thailand
Thank you! The Yama Hotel Phuket is pretty nice.
Awesome service for domestic route, here in Pakistan most domestic routes are served by a320s, a321s, a319s, 737s and ATRs and the service is ok here in domestic.
Yes the service on boar Thai Airways is insane!
Very nice review. Huge like. The B747 is one of my favorite aircraft. I often travel from France to the Philippines and i saw there is still opportunity to ride the 744 of Thaï Airways from München to Bangkok. I will try it before it will be too late. I didnt experience thaï Airways yet.
Thank you! Thai Airways is an awesome airline. Thai 747 flights might be cheaper within Asia or to Australia as the flight from MUC to BKK.
Nice video! I like the delta airlines
Where abouts did you stay in Phuket ?? I just recently got back from Phuket and I stayed in Karon and Kampala beach!
During that trip we stayed in Kata down in the southwest.
I like this video
Seems like an excellent product at a VERY reasonable price.
Absolutely. Thanks for watching!
The Thai airlines is so cool ever
Looks like pax already on board. where does this flight originate from?
It´s a normal flight. It's flying from Bangkok (BBK) to Phuket (HKT) and back. We were not the first on board so that's why some passengers were already in the plane!
I love the name of the airports, both of them
Wonderful trip!!! :-)
Thanks a lot!
You're welcome... :-)
Thanks for you
From where do u book your flights
Most of the time at the airline website but we search for flights mainly kayak.com to get an overview of the prices.
Awesome They changed planes from BKK to Phuket, I hope tomorrow they don't swap out the 747, Ill be in 3A.
Have an awesome flight with Thai Airways!
Awesome airline!
Indeed!
I indeed flown this route with the A330 last time
So cool!
+Oswaldo Öberg Thanks!
why do u tilt your camera down all the time? Tilt it up! I want to see the whole aircraft
Because we don’t want to film right into people’s faces ;)
The 747 is a old plane but its my favorite
yes good plane
That is a good price and you can go even cheaper if you want to. VietJet Air are doing crazy prices for flights from Phuket to Bangkok.
+Adrian Morton Yes, pricings in Thailand are incredible!
Awesome
Thanks
Wait a moment. Phuket airport is renovated.
+Boripat Wannasri Not the domestic terminal ;)
The international terminal is really nice now 👍
Phuket airport now has a new International terminal
Indeed! There will be a Trip Report from this terminal online soon :)
Echt cool! :)
Danke!
Star Alliance Thai 787.
3.34 he îs right that plane îs super cool

Thanks!
I have been on a flight from phuket to koln with eurowings
What is your name?
We are Nik and Lukas. More information on our website: www.flightexperience.de/about-us/the-team/
Thai Airways will completely retire their fleet in 2022 so I have a good 3 years to fly on one of these majestic giants.
Bryan Westphal They still fly these old birds to Munich.
Singapore airlines is the best, you should try it
We already flew them and the Trip Reports are already available on this channel! Thanks for watching!
PTV screen like garuda indonesia
Qatar Airways Lufthansa THAI Emirates
PIA Pakistan SAS
I'm afraid the next generation will be totally unaware that checked baggage, in-flight food used to be free on short-haul flight...
the wine is always nice the glass
why do thai airways use a big plane on such a short route
Because theirs such a high demand. This 747 was nearly booked out. Thanks for watching!
Thats a long destination
I know this old airport phuket
Tito Respi likes the airplane
yes good plane
Cool
NICE
THANKS! ;-)
I love yours videos and boing 747
Lol was on the exact same flight :-)
Cool :D
เป็นคนไทยหรอ
please please don't put that music again..
In my opinion,they should not get rid of the queen of the skys.=(
I am requesting a card where I can enter air routes :-) :-)
สวัสดีครับ

I LOVE TO FLY ASIAN AIRLINES, THEY ARE CHEAP! THERE's NOTHING CHEAP ABOUT THAI AIRLINES UNLESS YOU LIVE IN COUNTRIES LIKE AUSTRALIA,NORWAY,SOUTH KOREA,USA OR TAX FREE LUXEMBOURG STATE AND MANY OTHER COUNTRIES PULLING TONS OF MONEY DOING REGULAR JOBS LIKE FOR EXAMPLE BUS DRIVER OR HANDY , ASK THAI PPL HOW CHEAP THAI AIRWAYS IS .
Phuket - Bangkok ha ha those names tho
Thai. Air. Way
Ok i love this airline i was just kidding
Hi
I found vietnam in flight’s map , im from vietnam 🇻🇳:)
Maybe coming to Vietnam in a few months.
😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘😍😘
Ok
That's look like my dad
4 engines is better than the 2 engines they all have naw more safe
Statistically twin engined aircraft are actually safer than 4 engined planes.
Asian airlines are the best my choice is VN !✈️
Vito John Amato last time I flew Vietnam Airlines business class it was pretty good but The lounge was shit. I actually prefer the product on VN-A383 (three rows of J class instead of four) to the 787 business class. But Thai Airways has a better product in terms of food and service.
