Have you went over to the SilverKris lounge? I heard good things.
Great trip report Kevin! The night approach into LHR is amazing! Love watching your videos. Greetings from Canada.
That London approach was simply stunning!
Its called max thrust short runway
I flew last year LOT from ICN and the flight was at 11am, so we had lunch by noon and they dimmed cabin by 1pm and it was 13hours trip. I think airlines are doing this to impose on passengers to sleep so the cabin crew can rest
I felt the Asiana's inflight service quality went down drastically during and after the Wuhan virus. I guess it is related to the financial difficulty and imminent merger. Great video by the way.
I agree about Terminal 2. It has not yet been "fully realized" compared to Terminal 1, which has seen two decades more of history.
Aloha from Hawaii and I can attest Hawaii people take multiple trips a year to the 9th island LAS VEGAS, mystery solved!
What an epic video which covers the meticulousness of Asiana Airlines' premium services on a long-haul flight as well as the stunning London's view as the plane approached LHR!!! You are lucky to be onboard one of the last Asiana's flights.
That is a beautiful London landing
Pilots will "jam" the power on wet take-offs as a way of dispersing water from the engine. They do a longer "warm-up" run in the winter often to get rid of ice build-up.
They just press the TO/GA button and the acceleration is performed automatically in Boeing or Airbus.
Is this the Hilton Mar Caribe Cancun? Do you have thoughts/recommendations on that one? Thanks!
Love your videos Kevin! I appreciate the honest reviews.
FWIW regarding your 15 hours flight, almost all of the TYO-LHR flights are going east-bound at the moment due to the Russian airspace issues, taking the polar route over Alaska and Greenland, while LHR-TYO take the Caspian route. Both are 15+ hours as a result, and great for that proper F experience! When the long runway at HND was closed for a week at the beginning of the year, the JAL TYO-LHR had to stop in Nagoya or Narita to take on enough fuel for the trip: it couldn't take off on the shorter runways fully loaded.
You must be one of the best aviation reviewers out there. You deserve millions of subscribers ❤
I was about to pay for an upgrade but after seeing this video think I'll pass. Not much difference to easyJet
Asiana is one of the airlines i have never flown with, in over 12 years of travel to Asia. This business class product looks amazing, especially for such a long flight. I wonder if their economy on the a350 holds up so well... Anyway, welcome to my city!
Thanks for the information. I really like that you took a video when people in sleep
Beautiful sunset views
I love your videos and have a Patreon supporter since the beginning...but, I'm always surprised by the things that interest you. I fly constantly for decades and not sure I have ever noticed an airplane's spool up. Not once. Lol.
Just before you said you've never seen an A350 you didn't like, I also was genuinely thinking, "Damn, the A350 looms slick". Mind reader!
06:05 I love it when airlines reflect their culture in their uniforms, but I feel those parasols would be a bit too much to get down the aisle, even in a whalebird.
I don’t think the cosplayers work for the airline. It’s traditional Korean attire for display purposes
What A Beautiful Air Craft.Great Video And Info
Beautiful! Well done, Kevin!
That London city approach though *chef's kiss*
As a Londoner for over 30 years, you wouldn't want to kiss most of it when close up!
@@nezbrun872 ahah, true! 😂
I’ve accidentally become a loyal Asiana customer since 2022 as they were always either the most affordable or convenient option for my surprisingly frequent East Asia trips recently. They are a super solid and reliable option. Their catering out of Seoul might just be the best economy catering I’ve ever had. Their catering partner (which I believe is LSG) managed to pull off pesto pasta and juicy creamy chicken on a plane. For an economy meal... I thought I’d win the lottery first. It’s therefore a shame they might disappear soon, but I’ve heard good things about Korean Air, so all hope isn’t lost. But Asiana defiantly must step up their entertainment offering as long as they’re still operating, because it’s sparse af. Final note, I think the different spool up sound at takeoff might have to do with the engine being able to perform better with the higher density and moist air when it rains, or just the general acoustics in such weather. A350 takeoff in the rain is music to my ears 😊
What an incredibly long flight….but OMG….THE VIEWS!!! 🤩 Stunning images, for the first time I caught myself missing parts of your narration! Thank you for the beautiful review 🙏🏼🌄🌅
Thanks for sharing ,I must book an Asiana flight before the merger with Korean Air
Well, those Trents sound incredible! Properly maximum thrust due to bad weather to minimize the runway usage.
Stop distance is increased in wet runway conditions, therefore higher Take off thrust settings applied to reduce take off distance. In other words to get more braking distance in case of an aborted take off
@@JO-nh6mo Also will be fully loaded with fuel for the long distance. Also note it spooled up with the brakes on, definitely an indication of limited runway for the weight combined with a/c performance.
Nothing special. You missed to explore the options under the perspective of your subscribers. Not mine, definitely.
You sound like a blast.
It’s really impressive how modern Incheon feels despite being over 20 years old at this point. Like look at TPE terminal 2, which is a year older, and it’s night and day. I guess Korea got the airport luck and Taiwan got the airline luck.
I’ll take the airlines lol
Asiana was my favorite airline to Asia for many years. Far ahead of Singapore, Cathay and others. Once I left the Star Alliance I truly missed them. It will be very unfortunate when they merge with Korean, which I find way more impersonal. I guess I won’t be flying any Korean carriers going forward. Thanks for the great, great video. Really well done as always, Kevin. You just get better and better sir!
Appreciate that!
My wife flew with asiana airlines last on a business class…. She was so disappointed with the service
Thanks for sharing ✈️
I flew a daytime flight from Sydney to Seoul on Asiana on an A350 a few weeks ago and it was blinds down the whole way as well. I did enjoy the Asiana lounge at Incheon for an extended time before my flight back and really enjoyed it although I agree that the food choice was fairly limited. A few more choices and some cakes and pastries could make it much better.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Ace content! Thank you Kevin!
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
I love Asiana's china
It’s definitely unique!
Those views 🥰 Even London looked incredible 🥰
Sure did!
당신의 리뷰는 좋다 THANK YOU
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Beautiful video, loved the coral coloured engine, and the views coming in over London gave me goosebumps! 😍
Loved that engine!
I’m jealous! I always wanted to fly Asiana!🤩
Still have a bit of time!
I like Asiana very much - flew economy on them a couple of weeks ago from ICN to Manila; a year or so ago I took them business to Almaty. Both experiences were very good (although I agree with you about the lounges - food not great). I too worry about the impact the merger will have, on quality and prices. Thanks for another really good report.
Thanks for sharing ✈️
Las Vegas, in addition to being a tourist destination both for Americans and some international travelers, also plays host to a quite a few business conferences and trade shows each year. Oh, and it’s a “Hub” for Southwest Airlines, even though Southwest isn’t fully on the hub and spoke model like American, Delta, and United. So quite a few Southwest Passengers, especially those transiting between the West Coast and more Eastern parts of the country will change planes there.
Wonder if it computes with Kevin. 🤔
Nice 😊 Some good eats on that flight for sure 🎉
Sure was!
Stunning views and content!! Thank You Kevin
Thanks very much 🙏🏻
Glad to see Asiana still performing nicely, so sad losing soon and become a single FSC operating country :( Koreans are losing sooo much of flight choices, flight alliances and connecting options with the upcoming merger seems to finalize by this year
Yup, ironic that a decision like this would come from the Government. You'd think they would be the watchdog to prevent just this from happening.
@@tfft Well, birth of Korean Air started from privatization back in 60s and considering the ministry is full of ex-KE executives, they just been supporting KE all the time lol
12:20 due weather conditions most probably
Thanks for sharing ✈️
am i the only one who thinks that aesthetic wise the cabin looks really old?? 😭 the seat, the screen.. don't they give off such an old feeling? I am NOT calling them bad so asiana fans don't attack me 🙏 imagine if the crew had made you shut the window shade during the sunset.. I'd be MAD
It's a very Korean aesthetic.
Yes.
About engine thrust/noise: do you recall any AC switch off before take off? For long/heavy flight, packs off is preferred during TO -> higher N1, better perf, save fuel
Like completely off? No- and I'm a bit ocd about airflow so I think I'd notice it.
S tier content. Honestly I want some Flip Flops as merch
I'm waiting for Havaianas to call haha.
2:23 what the hell is that??
🤷🏼♂️
