The side dish is a pickled cucumber! We usually season it with bit of chilli powder, sesame oil and soy sauce
ah I see, thank you so much Andrew!!!
Some airlines in premium economy offer 33" of legroom, yet, as you mentioned, Korean Airlines has 34" in economy!! Looks like a great airline to fly and glad you had a great experience with them. :)
Spot on below Korean Air are Singapore Airlines Eva Air Cathay Pacific due to them being 32-33 inches in legroom. Way better than their competitor on Cebu and Manila to Seoul Incheon Airport Philippine Airlines 29 in Fiesta Class seats legroom
Which airlines only offer 33'' of pitch in PE?
10:00 That is ‘oiji’ in Korean, a pickled cucumber. That one is seasoned with many ingredients like minced garlic, sesame oil, etc. and then it is called ‘oiji muchim’. It is a quite popular banchan in Korea.
thanks for letting me know! I think you’re the only one who told me🤣
Korean Airlines have kept a high standard of service for a long time now. Entertaining Vlog as always Jayden. Cheers
thanks Peter K!! :)
Great video as always. Really like the VLOGS you insert on some videos. Really personalises it. You're fast becoming my favourite flight reviewer on YT!
Aww thanks! Hopefully I’m your number 1 favourite soon hahaha. Have a good day :)
What a superb and complete Economy experience! Definitely looked very satisfying in all aspects!
thanks so much for watching mate!!
jayden your back at it keep up the good work and have a great day
thank you, you too have a lovely day!!
Korean Air seems nice! likely every crew had a great stop at the paradise! The trip report is great.
haha right I was thinking that too. Thanks Jeremy!
Great long haul economy. Thanks for the info + video!
my pleasure! thanks so much for watching!!
HNL is a grand airport with the open air facilities. And I agree with you that Korean Air really does a great job with long haul economy!
Great video, Jayden! I love the Honolulu airport. It’s so tropical and airy. It looks like KL has great service all around which is nice to see. I’m surprised you had never been on a Shinkansen. It looked pretty crowded. Thanks for the quick view of Takamatsu. I walked by your hotel when I visited there! It was a lovely city.
haha yes first time. And I bought a ticket to Okayama instead of Oyama😂 I was so confused why I had to go through Tokyo
Wow! Beautiful take off! Meal looks good!
thanks for watching mate!!
The face mist application was quite cute! 👏🏼
thanks George!!! Long time no ssee
Good Morning from Germany 🇩🇪 Nice to see You again. A wonderful start into the day!!👍👏. Breakfast and Fly Video. 💛💛. Best wishes to 6,4 🙏
Good evening from Australia! See you tomorrow on an American Airlines video!
gambar dan video sudah saya masuk ke dalam pesawat korea ini pada 2 tahun lepas d bangkok thailand😊❤ seronok
21:07 Aww that's such sweet message :)
Jayden I have not watched the video yet and I already know it’s gonna be good, keep up the good work and also quick question what’s your favourite type of commercial aircraft?
thank you so much haha, a350 is my answer
Another great review!!
thanks David!!
This week is like around the world with Mr. Wong. Lol
Enjoyed your report and the details you point out.
Thanks Jayden.
tomorrow is American Airlines :))
每次看到你的視頻都好開心啊！希望以後有機會跟你一起坐飛機！🎉😊
多謝收睇，有緣嘅話就坐同一班機啦！😆
Thank you for posting, Jayden! If you can, could you make a video about China Southern's inflight entertainment? (e.g. all the games on the screen, all the movies, and if there is, music)
I don't go too in depth for the IFE sorry, happy to go through them with you personally though if I fly CZ again :)
Jayden, God must love you very much to be blessed with such a wonderful life :)
haha thanks David :)
Back when I took KE54 in 2019, it was on a 747-8. Seems like the same friendly services remain! Anyway, nice video as always!
Wow Beautiful Scenery on takeoff HNL❤wow, Jayden to SYD, your lucky your young for this LONG trip❤️❤️wow smooth landing ICN
thanks John! Long way but I earned extra points hahaha
Jayden, I wish you, your family, and 6-4 a safe and Happy Holiday(s).
thank you so much, likewise, wish you and your family a Merry Christmas and hopefully quality time together :))
Hey Jaden, I'm subscribing to your channel coz your videos and reviews are really awesome and ofc I find you so cute. 🥰😍😊
Thanks for subbing! :)))
The 34inch is welcomed but the seat itself looks like 17.5 inch
it may seem so because the screen was big. If you look at their 787 (also 9-abreast), there is less space between the edge of the TV and the edge of the seat :)
In March 2018, I flown KE54 flight as 747-8i, and that was my honeymoon return flight to my country. I want to go back to Hawaii with our flagship carrier, Korean Air
thanks for sharing! That's cute, hope you can visit with your loved one again soon :)
What a pleasure to witness the high standard all round ... takes me back to the heyday of BOAC and Pan Am. 😍
I would love to experience them!
I flew Korean fr9m Seoul to Cebu, Phippines. Best economy flight ever.
good to know you had a good experience with kE!
Flying this 777 300 ER from LAS to INC pretty soon. Thanks for the look-see, Jay Dub!
my pleasure, enjoy your flight to Korea!
Great video .
thank you!
Bloody good airline iv been on em all nearly
3-3-3 On B777 Is Not Often These Days,And The Great Leg Romm You Have.Great Trip Report
thanks Gunvald!
It tastes better with gochujang paste in bibimbap
I love how the Honolulu aerodrome is open to the elements. I first went there in 1958 when a young lad, travelling on a Qantas Lockheed Constellation (the one with the three tails). I have been back many times since (on jet aircraft 🤗) Hoping to go again of course! Hehehe.
How comfortable was that flight?
@@well-blazeredman6187 You have to remember that the fuselage was much narrower and smaller than today's aircraft. We travelled First Class, which meant two chairs on either side of the aisle. These where quite comfortable and reclined a little - but no flat beds. 😕Also, with four propellers, it was very noisy. The food and service was excellent - and so it should have been as the fares were astronomical. It was about 18 hours or more to travel from Honolulu to Melbourne, with a refuel stop in Nadi, Fiji. On our run we ran into a headwind or something and ran out of fuel necessitating us coming down on Johnston Island, a small attol in the Pacific. The Yanks had bult a landing strip there during the war. The locals hopped up on the wings and poured the fuel in from kerosene cans! In the 50s I travelled extensively on these aeroplanes and they were a good machine.
yep the breeze was nice, so was the airplane exhaust hahaha
nice ~ flying Korean Air next month :)
Well done Jayden and for the Korean Air Economy Class they are on top of the economy class seats due to their wide legroom of 34 in. which makes them 5 in wider than a PR Fiesta class seat. Regarding the Korean Air Lounges, I used their JFK lounge back in December 2006 and enjoyed it but lost out to ICN KE lounge the old Terminal 1 and also CX the Pier lounge from my experience. Your aeroplane had Prestige Sleeper seats 4:08-4:09 instead of the Prestige Class Suites Collins Serenity model. Need to try Prestige Sleeper seats since they go completely flat like a CX Safran cirrus seat over the old Prestige Plus seat which is on an angle. 8:31 going to use it for Kdrama and K-pop my favourite foreign music. 10:09 That might be a Kimchi on the top left bowl to its right Korean pears and peaches. Knew this since your meal is the same one as my mum's on KE085 January 2007
Korean airline ‘s legs room is really amazing space. I always prefer to take on that plane when i to the korea and also cabin crew r really friendly and professional
I am not surprised all of my flights on Korean have been regional and also long haul and I nvr once not happy..they are awesome! I must try their business one day esp on their 747-8!
can't wait to try Starlux possibly April! You keep bragging it haha
Great video Jayden you should do a review on Korean air A380 from Seoul to New York or New York to Seoul and ANA A380 from Tokyo to Honolulu or Honolulu to Tokyo
I booked on their A380 nonstop from LAX and they put me on Delta 767 and this.... gotta book them again
Yep - what lovely stewardesses this airline has.
Hard to fault that flight.
P.S. I'm thinking that 'Embrace' would make for the perfect boarding-music for some airline. It would certainly soothe the evil thoughts I have about fellow passengers blocking the aisles.
hahah right I love it. I was dancing to it just now as I was a reviewing my video for tomorrow and cooking pasta 🤣
Good video Jayden. How do you know what to do at all h the e different airports and how to get round them and how to transit??
Also did your mum give you a hug when she left or not?
for new airports, I do quick research usually just on the way there haha. I look for which terminal, and lounge location etc.
Jayden W….as usual …just phenomenal reporting and so positive. Love your work….BB
thank you so much!! :)
JW…you just keep getting better (and better).Have yourself a Merry Little Christmas. We are leaving NZ on the 31st at 2230pm for Honolulu ….wish you and 6’4” could come along …….BB
@@beauregardfielding5477 amazing, that means you arrive on the 31st again? Hopefully we can be on your flight soon :) I just got Star gold so I wanna fly Star Alliance heaps next year :)
Good video!
thank you so much!!
Wow I love that cabin crew pro-actively offered top-ups for coffee/tea and wines rather than shouting and walking and you have to get their attention.
yep exactly right!
Great trip report Jayden keep up the great work and content
thank you!!!
Shinkansen is a phenomenal way to get around. Korean Air seems much the same.
It's interesting that the BKG music you used in 5:46 is the CX music, is that right? Correct me if I'm wrong. I just flew back from Bangkok with CX and I heard them playing this music on the flight when boarding. Anyway, enjoy watching your videos very much.
it's not CX hahaha ruclips.net/video/DzYp5uqixz0/видео.html
Wao thanks for the source! I listened to it just now, I’m 100% sure that it’s playing on the plane during boarding. Interesting!
Excellence In-flight.
thanks for watching!
12:26, Wow, Korean air, Boeing 777-300ER's economy class lavatory is small. At the very rear end of the galley, there is 2 lavatories and it's longer and wider than any other lavatories between premium economy and economy class.
Wow I never knew that the 777 economy is so good. I’m super surprised by the leg room. Seat also has great features
It really is! Cup holder (and coat hook) is underrated.
It is and important thing to remember if you are flying on a route that has KE🇰🇷 CX🇭🇰 BR CI🇹🇼 JL NH🇯🇵 and PR🇵🇭 do operate in take the airlines from South Korea Hong Kong Taiwan and Japan over Philippine airlines that way you avoid the cramped 29in Fiesta Class seat on B777-300er
15:43, Including me, but I flew Asiana airlines in June of 2017 from Honolulu, to Manila via Seoul and it's good to transit in Korea because it's cheaper.
How did you like that and it's super better than taking the direct flight PR101 to MNL. Very helpful if you are going to the provinces OZ HNL-ICN then CRK OZ707/708 for Abucay Bataan🇵🇭 OZ703/704 if you live around Manila Cebu OZ709/710. However the problem is that many Filipinos in Honolulu will do PR101 HNL🇺🇲-MNL🇵🇭. Regarding the A330-300s South Koreans KE/OZ are better than PR versions.
13:45 the funny thing is that the second meal is exactly the same thing that I had on my Asiana flight from Honolulu to Seoul. Even down to the fact that they gave margarine instead of butter. The fruit was slightly different though but I still had a shrimp salad. Why are they offering a homogeneous product hahahaha
interesting, must be the same caterer in HNL. China Airlines, Cathay Pacific and Singapore Airlines serve the same vegetarian meals from Sydney and Melbourne.
Cool vlog, might have to try Korean one day. Those hotel rooms are called businessman hotel rooms. I stayed in a businessman hotel in Tokyo once. It was full of men haha. I was with my daughter and as it happened she knew a couple from down south where she’d been living. I think they may have recommended the place and we didn’t know any different, room was small like that but with two beds. So we were on our best behaviour. 😊😊
haha yes businessman hotel. They're pretty cheap. If I am going to Japan again, might get two of those single rooms for mum and I. Probably cheaper than a twin bedroom at an American hotel chain haha
I'm curious, did the blanket and pillow come in sealed plastic? Or do you reckon they were used before?
Korean Air looks amazing with the 5-star meal and very professional crew onboard, although imo the B777 looks quite outdated because the IFE isn't responsive and I think the seat looks old as well. But apart from that, indeed the back support is a problem for KE as it decrease the comfort of passengers despite the good config. of seat. I didn't expect that Korean Air has their own lounge in Honolulu, but it looks quite tiny and there's not enough seat, I hope that at least they can improve the lounge a bit. It's also nice to see that the cabin crew is really well-engaged to passengers especially those who held the frequent flyer status such as the Skyteam Elite Plus or the KE member. Great trip report Jayden, will wait for ur next report (hopefully Garuda 😄).
Neither! Qantas also runs a daily flight and I do not understand why they have a lounge there when there's JAL and AA. Thanks mate! Garuda is Saturday, also the last of my daily trip report :)
17:06, Same on Asiana airlines, but on the Boeing 777-200ER's seat configuration of 3-3-3. You should try to fly Asiana airlines next year. Asiana airlines is a good airline to fly and it's better than Korean Air.
17:49, Yes, good to see the queen of skies return to Hawaii. In August of 2016, my family and I move and live in Hawaii for 7 years to work, my sister study college pass and already graduate and I study middle, high school, graduate and college. It's my 2nd year in college. That's funny, I am shocked that Korean Air sends the Boeing 747 to Sydney while they send the queen of the skies to Hawaii.
I like Korean Air on long haul flights, especially to the US, besides Cathay Pacific & China Airlines.
Japan is my most favorite country that I visited.
Damn i was there past may in Honolulu but took Hawaiian to sfo…i saw my hometown flight Seoul next to sfo gate got jealous I’m like maybe next year ill do a380 lax flight
22:00 Mommy is so young! ❤❤
4:48, The in flight entertainment TV is similar and identical to Air China, Boeing 777-300ER and it needs a refurbished.
haha yes and the older BA
Oh really? Okay. I haven't flown British airways.
There you are again, Mr. Energizer Bunny!
😂 my Chinese zodiac is actually rabbit
Well of course
Wow Jayden. You travelled from Shin-osaka to Okayama and then the marine liner to Takamatsu! Super long distance! I boarded from Himeiji already wanna KO-ed 😅😅
It felt longer than SFO to SIN😂😂 Apparently there used to be a bus service from KIX to Takamatsu but they stopped it since Covid.
Did Kyoto-KIX-Shin-Osaka-Okayama-TAK💀
@@JaydenWong Now i understand why you said super long! Eh I'm also not much better. I came down from Toyooka all the way to Takamatsu. Toyooka-Himeiji-Okayama-TAK HAHA Long train rides indeed! 😂
Aloha & Mahalo~!👋👍🤙
Could you try Air China's 777-300ER in economy???
Jayden as always entertaining
I presume the coming year will bring Cambodian and Laos air as well as some Eastern European airlines
Hate to say it but I would prefer the aisle in 3 3 3 set up
What no girl guides or scouts ? Just brownies 😂
Merry Xmas to u and your family
haha maybe? Meanwhile, see you tmrw on the American Airlines video
Nice. Do they have Wifi on the 777's yet? KAL is rolling it out on some of their planes.
no they don’t, on a220 and 737 max they do according to the inflight magazine :)
You didn’t mention anything about fiber content in the meals this time or the bathrooms so I’m assuming they were clean (unlike your flight in the 747) 😁
yes and it wasn't as full as well so less people using the loos hahaha
you really love coat hooks 😊
haha yes
Did you get a chance to have drinks and party at Honolulu’s Hula’s Bar and Lei Stand? I swear I so you there!!!
nah just transit at the airport haha, wish I was there, thanks Paul!
I flew KE054 yesterday， but that was 747
yep I was on the last 777 HNL flight before they switched to winter schedule :)
@@JaydenWong And I also flew the KAL 777 with the same config after KE054 to HKG
✈
Could you try Air china's 777-300ER economy from Sydney or to Sydney???
possibly!!
KE service is usually top-notch. IFE needs to be updated though. Maybe that is something they will do after the Asiana merger.
Haha, I cannot believe someone is going to Australia!!
right!!!
Jayden, how long did you stay in Hawaii ? Which island ? What is your favourite Hawaii destination ?
was there for transit
The HNL lounge is so sad equal to Hawaiian Airlines. You are 100% on going to the Sky Club instead if you can.
have you ever stopped when entering the plane by the FA, and asked to turn off the recording? i've been in that situation by SQ FA.i'm not even a youtuber, just for my own experience, and my cam phone was on my chest, not pointing at them.
yes long time ago on Cathay Dragon, but it was a mis-understanding. she let me afterwards.
Apparently Korean Air and Asiana are merging, kind of wonder which name will remain, decor, product offerings etc.
Mate... You just making me head scratching for the intro right now 😂😂😂
It's Tuesday 😤
It’s daily Vlogmas! 👍🏽
🤣 didn't think ahead
@rachkate76 I know! Daily upload from Jayden is thr best Xmas gift ever 🤣
@@sweatdeo I like the funny eyebrow dance he does when he likes something he’s eating or drinking, and his obsession with coat hooks he doesn’t even seem to use. 😂
Hey jayden i now wanna move back to SEOUL OF SOUTH KOREA of my home country sso badly due to i miss my home country so!.
I notices korean air placed 3-3-3 not like air canadas 3-4-3!.
Finallly your not keen of eating spicy foods like myself!.
I saw a Singapore Airlines plane in the background. They operate to Hawaii now???
sorry could you provide me with the timestamp, I couldn't find a SQ plane haha
@@JaydenWong 3:07
oh it's a DHL x Singapore Airlines 777 Freighter@@bernardszeto2064
question was it 34 or 39? you said 39 in video and 34 in description? only reason i ask is my wife wants to go to japan for the 1st time and i we will fly korean as they are skyteam. you are sitting in the seat i would want as i have a slight turbulence fear so i want to sit on the very last part of the wing so i can still see outside but have the strength of the wing that will cut down on some of the bumps. so i want to make sure i pick the right seat. as others have said this was a great video. i am juts not a fan of no personal air vents but my wife bought an electronic mini fan.
Hi! Sorry it was row 34
I hope you have a good flight to Japan!
Thanks, Jayden. I just stumbled across your channel. I normally am not a fan of voice dialog, i prefer the text verison so i can mute the sound at work. LOL But this was a great video. You have another fan.
Asiana vs Korean Air please.......
Is the 77W quiet? Gonna fly it from Syd to HK in Feb
not really hahaha, bring headphones
Jayden I'd say your picking up air crew from different airlines as subscribers. Ie someone in crew knows your a blogger. Can only improve your enjoyment. Have fun, now got used to daily blog, weekly one now going to be harder. Lol
They usually let me know if they watch more videos haha. Happens maybe 30% of the time on Virgin and Qantas
@@JaydenWong I'd say others are now picking up. Word of mouth works better than anything.
Is it possible that the temple is actually a castle? The architecture and color suggest it.
yes it was HAHA, I went there the next day

What's the name of your iconic intro music?

This is not a “how to do long haul flight “ video. It’s just a review.
Korean airlines we don't have any baby planes because we always pull out on time....
Honest question. Does flying long haul every week make you feel unwell? It's not a healthy environment.
well I don't actually fly every week. Let's say I'm going from Australia to England tomorrow. One week trip with a stopover in Hong Kong. So that'd be four flights all together = four weeks of content in just one trip. I actually fly a lot less than what it seems haha.
Nonetheless, I do fly a lot in economy class within a short period of time, like this particular trip for example. Three long haul economy in one go. I make sure I feel great throughout and after the trip by wearing comfortably, eat and drink healthy (less alcohol, less meat & more plant food, more water). I've received several negative and rude comments when I select plant-based meals onboard, but hey, health over comments made by small potatoes! Thus, in general, I never feel unwell or jet lagged :)
How that is a large aircraft
Hi which sky team program you have
delta
have you ever done any flying yourself?
like recreational? No I don't have a license haha
Flew with an instructor when I was 13 though.
Amazing review! As much as Korean air has proven themselves to be such an amazing airline, it’s a shame that they’re folding the Asians brand ☹️
I know right, I need to give Asiana a go before they're gone
Oh dear, you forgot to pour the red sauce on top of the rice! I guess you will feel weird when eating the tasteless bibimpap, was it?
I like spicy food but I’m allergic to it haha
@@JaydenWong oic, but dont u feel tasteless? Can you accept without the sauce?
@@wong1989ben it's not the taste, I like the taste. I get swollen tongue, upset stomach and rashes from spicy food
Yeah I could deal with bibimbap without it haha, I live in a western country, I'm used to it 🤣
@@JaydenWong ic ok good to hear that~
22:45, How much did you pay to take the train to Takamatsu?
quite expensive actually, could've flown Jetstar via Narita cheaper but too much hassle.
about 8000-10000 yen on the bullet train alone, the trains from Kansai to Shin-Osaka, and Okayama to Takamatsu probably less than 1000 together. I can't really remember.
Wow that's expensive. Okay I see.
