The slow motion drinking of sparkling wine while making prolonged and direct eye contact at 11:48 clearly was saying “I’m living the life you wished you were living”. Well done!
Great video mate. Always special when experience on the queen of the skies
@DennisBunnikTravels have you ever flown the Asiana 747-400? 🤨 I assume probably as you’ve flown so so many times! 🤣
You're right, Paul. Sitting at the front of a 747 is a unique experience. I count myself lucky to have done it a number of times. It's amazing to see just how far airline products have come in the last 15-20 years. Thanks for sharing.
Watching this video just as im in the Incheon Airport terminal waiting for this very aircraft to take me to Tokyo - great video!
Hope you enjoyed the flight!
Air Seoul - I got it Paul :)
The runways at Incheon are oriented roughly North-South, and when you approach the airport from the South, as Paul's plane did in this video, the hilly coast you can see in the distance is already in North Korea. This means that when planes take off northbound, they must make a sharp turn ASAP (usually to the left/West) to avoid North Korean airspace, entering which would obviously not be a pleasant prospect at any rate.
It's close, but not perilously close. Departing any of the 33's or 34's (to the NW), you've got at least 12nm until the prohibited airspace begins. The actual border with N. Korea and FIR boundary are a couple miles past that. Like if you depart 33L/R on the BOPTA/NOPIK/ESPOT or EGOBA SID, you track basically straight for 7nm before turning west. When the 15's & 16's are in use (landing SE), the STARs feed traffic onto decent straight-in final approaches, like 10 mile base-to-final turns. It's like they thought of the airspace considerations when they developed the airport in the 1990's.
@@mls515, in my observation on Flightradar24, in northbound takeoffs, longer flight paths before the turn *only* happen when the plane is going to turn right (East) because of the shape of the maritime armistice line between the two Koreas, which is further North in the East direction. When turning to the left (West), planes make the turn *immediately* after takeoff, before even overflying the small chain of islands that's just North of the airport.
@@goytabr there's runway construction on the 33 side at the moment, forcing most departures in the northwest flow to use the 34 side. The 34 departures join a track to a fix about 15° left of runway centerline after liftoff, about 3 miles away before turning west. This avoids the island to the northwest of the airport. The straight-out track from the 33's mostly avoids this island to the east and stays over water. They probably designed these departure procedures for noise abatement in consideration of the residents and visitors to this island. There's also charted obstacles over 500 feet high on the island, which might be an issue if a departing aircraft were to lose an engine after it's committed to depart.
i just wanted to thank you Paul, your videos inspired me for a long time and now that I am able to travel in business I understand the passion you have for traveling. You are truly an awesome inspiration!
Glad you're living the dream! :-D
I hope that you enjoyed your Cathay 1C Lounge xperience at T3 just now, Paul. 🎉
I always enjoy your videos, Paul. This is no exception. I've followed you for years. Thank you for all the pleasure..
I totally agree with you about the lounge. Every time I have flown through Narita, I always used the ANA lounge.
It's 25 years old but cabin still cleaner than Air India B787 and B777
True! 😂😂
I was lucky as my dad worked for SIA and back in the old days we were entitled to travel First class on their flights. used to travel HKG-SIN-SYD all the time and from their Super Bs to Big Tops and Megatops the transformation of the seats and everything was still a memory i am very fond of, but that APU tone when you just boarded was when those memories all came rushing back, as you wont really hear them sitting at the back or on the upper deck.
Love to hear the PW4000 engines again! It’s been a while.
HOW EPIC! Now you’ve flown the Lufthansa & Asiana 747-400s in 2024! 😂 Love it!
I wish I could fly this beautiful bird someday however I’ll likely never get to Korea 🇰🇷 before she’s retired unfortunately! 😊
Cheers mate! 🥂
Love it & the WONDERFUL Queen of the Skies! 😊😮
Thanks for the nose forward full takeoff! LOVE IT! I can't believe the 747 is gettin on thing of the past.
I flew on one of Lufthansa's 747-400s in Economy just a few weeks ago from Frankfurt to Chicago (it was supposed to be a 747-8 but there was a last minute equipment change). It was a great nostalgia trip, but I was disappointed by the LACK of individual air vents on Lufthansa's configuration.
What a great flight, and yeah with legendary Aircraft + perfect seat
Great video on the 400! I had the opportunity to fly in first class on a Northwest 747 a few years ago - lol. It was a wonderful experience, quite a memory. I believe it was between their Detroit and Minneapolis hubs.
I definitely prefer the ANA lounges at NRT vice HND, and I flew the same seat back in the day when UA ran a 747 between BKK - NRT!
Must admit the 747 is my favourite. Doubt I'll ever get a chance again. Lufthansa and KLM to Asia 🌏 ❤early 2000's.
@Paul_Lucas looks like so much fun, love these videos - your style makes it so much watchable 😊
Awesome review of the Queen of the Skies!! And former first class now business class looks absolutely fabulous!! Thanks Paul💚👌
8:20 registration is RP-C4133 their first one is RP-C4118. You should try airlines of the Philippines Paul. If you ask your Japanese Taiwanese Hong Konger Singaporean Thai and South Korean Aviation fan friends they know that Airlines of the Philippines cannot compete with them. I grew up flying out of MNL🇵🇭
Fantastic trip report as always Paul!!
Alwaysnice review Paul !
Thanks a lot.
Another great video! Keep up the good work Paul. 👍
I’ve never heard of Asiana Airlines. You learn something new everyday.
I have had the privilege of flying them a few times in Asia and also long haul to London. Excellent service from the Star Alliance carriet.
They also fly A380 from Seoul to LAX.
They also had a crash back in 2014
I'm so glad you took the N'ex to Narita Paul unlike some other RUclipsr *cough* Philips *cough*
Fabulous! Also liked the plane interior color scheme
At first I misheard & thought you said that plane first flew in 2011 & then later you said you were 11 back then so congrats on being 23! Great video.
You must have missed the written fact sheet that appeared on the screen when Paul was about to board at Narita. The plane first flew in 1999, which would make Paul vintage 1987, so 36 or 37 years old now, depending on his birthday. 2011 was the date that Paul estimated for the latest seat refurbishment.
Thank you Paul!
Beautiful brother wonderful experience
What a privilege to fly in the nose of a 747, Paul - love this.
Lucky Paul Lucas.Nice one
In spite of her age,that lady is in amazing shape. And unbelievably clean!
I am waiting for your Air India A350 vlog
Working on it!
They may not be the absolute best, but I have a soft spot for Asiana as I managed to get an itinerary back in 2019 that I suspect will be the best airline deal I'll ever score. LHR-ICN-NRT, then HND-ICN, and finally ICN-FRA-LHR, all in business for just £1600. My only A380 and Bibimbap experiences too. Try paying the same in economy for that route today!
Lovely plane Paul. Good old days when you could also smoke. 😊😊😊
Looking forward to seeing your JAL A350-1000 review
Long Live the Queen of the Skies
I just recently learned about Asiana. I heard lots of good things about them. Hopefully I can catch a ride on them on my trip back to Korea
Wow, she's a beauty. Cheers!
Fantastic content as always.
Thank you!
@@Paul_Lucas You're welcome.
I recall flying Asiana in F but the seats were in the upper deck…as they used to be on Lufthansa. Curious why both airlines moved the location.
Great Video. Zone A is always wonderful. Funny, you mentioned you were 12 when this particular aircraft entered service.....when I was 12 the 747 began commercial operations with PA and their 121s. To me, the -400 is still "new" .....I happened to be on the delivery flight of SIA's first -412 way back in '89..... ship 9V-SMB (in fact their first was 9V-SMA but for some reason the first one to enter service was -SMB). That said my favourite 747 was the -300. Naturally, SIA's "Big Tops" -312s....
Yes, I've broken several New years resolutions. 😮 Too much champagne and goodies on my birthday last week. 😃🥂🎉
Just have taken the same flight (OZ101) w/ my girlfriend on the same route in Biz and it was an amazing flight. She has never flown on an A380 and that flight really amazed her. I guess the OZ101/102 flights is really a route that makes the dreams come true ❤
Paul,, like your work
When Paul was a young lad on holiday and his Mum gave him a double 99 cone he got a look on his face just like at 7:06
Years ago I booked a trip on a 747 for work on business class, you had to book through a travel portal, but right after I booked I went on the airline web site and changed my seat to one that was upstairs, VERY glad I did it! Sad to see 747s going by the wayside
Great video Paul as always .. but you did not mention the horrendous noise in first class when the 747's nosewheel retracfs after take off. Never got used to that.
I used to fly business frequently while working. I was flying LAX to TPE right before Thanksgiving, booked the upper deck on a 747 on UA. I find my seat and get all my things out, hmm...well, maybe people are late as I am the only one. The attendant comes up and says, please gather your things, we are moving you downstairs business. Hurmph.....enter unhappy face. I go down, where do I sit? Anywhere she says, its just you. What??? Had all of busines class to myself. I do enjoy the A380 glad that there seems to be a resurgence of the 4 engine plane, but I will definitely miss the 747, when the last one is retired.
Nice video
I flew the Asiana airlines 747 in the upper deck back in 1995 or 96 at the age of 5 or 6 flying roundtrip in business class from Seoul Gimpo to LAX roundtrip.
B747-400 was the first wide boody Air Craft i Flow with Antas. London-Melbuurne❤
I've been in the seats in front of the pilots many times. It feels weird on the ground when the plane turns, as the seats are also in front of the landing gear.
It's probably the same 747 on my flight from Korea to Manila back in 2019.
I went to that lounge 5 years ago and they had a sushi chef who came to the lounge at 4pm giving out sushi
Ohh god....❤❤
Retrofitting?..I guess it been a long while since I've flown..🤭
Recently heard that this plane will be retiring on the 25th of march
🙏 farewell!
hello brother,,i, like your video fantastic content as aiways,keep up the good work ,,,Paul ok,,?
❤❤❤
Just had a quick look for the route and looks like the 747 is gone from the route I see only A380, A330 and T7's
Nice seat, but next time I'd love to see you try a train+ferry combo from Japan to South Korea instead ;) 🌳
That is on my list for next time!
❤
Don't make them, can't break them.
Surely you’d never call a company ‘Air Seoul’……oh…yep….they did
Tbh I thought it was from Kansai Osaka airport
Japan Airline is New
I flew Asiana's 747 Business Class on the upper deck 10 times between LAX and Seoul in 1999 when they were part of One World. Terrific airline. I don't know when they switched to the Star Alliance or why. Korean Air switched from Star to SkyTeam. What was going on? BTW, "bap" is the Korean word for "rice". What you added to the mixed veggies was "hin bap", steamed rice.
Your video appears to be faulty, I couldn’t play it in part?
Qantad
I forget Asiana exist.
Over the years American carriers have sunken to their lowest common denominator, but the most parts if I can avoid them I do at all cost and United is the bottom of the barrel in my humble opinion I’m 77 years old I’ve flown around the world 14 times since the mid 60s when I first flew in Vietnam as a pilot retired from a major airline so I’ve had a front row seat😢
Dont make any.

Now Paul, don't be wasting the soap supply onboard, lol. The 747 is a beautiful old aircraft, great video.
I didn't break any cause I didn't make any, lol.
Love to snag them metal bathroom fittings. 🚻 the scrap process is pretty thorough. Off to a certain selling site. Don't follow me. 😮
