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.

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

The reason the takeoff was so much louder is most likely because the power setting is at TO/GA, on most A350 flights they're at FLEX takeoff config which is not full power and makes a huge difference in engine noise.

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.

I believe they are more focused on efficiency, poise and presentation, of which they are very good at. Being retired cabin crew, I tend to focus on watching their service flow, body language and eye contact. It's interesting to see the differences from nationality to nationality. Having said that, I would never hesitate to fly both Korean carriers again.

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 😊

I don’t bother mentioning things like that simply because it’s such a wide range. That flight one way could be anywhere from $1500-$3800 in business depending on the time of year.

Sometimes, flying can be simply glorious. Really enjoyed the views. The one question I have relates to airline alliances. Back in '04, when I went from 250K miles/year to zero, Asiana was in OneWorld and Korean Air was in Star Alliance. Now, Asiana is in Star Alliance and Korean Air is in Sky Team. After the merger, I assume that Asiana will be brought into Sky Team. Changing alliances can be really expensive and technically challenging. If you have any insight into the alliance musical chairs played by the two main Korean airlines, I'd appreciate the enlightenment. Thanks in advance.

Insight into their past alliance movement? No, I don’t have any knowledge about it.

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.

Thanks for the review! We have an upcoming ICN-LAX flight in J in around 5 months. It seems like the merger is inevitable, but slow going. Once it happens, I wonder how this will affect peoples tickets? It's not like Asiana will disappear over night, right?

@tfft 21 күн бұрын

It won't effect your tickets at all (at least 5 months from now). Ops are staying completely separate until BOH integration is complete. We're talking 18 months at best.

That's MAX trust the pilot's applying Kevin, given how long your flight was therefore, takeoff weight was on or near MAX (Assuming flight was full'ish)

Wow like it and if you have to choose this one the Stelia Solstys or a Philippine Airlines Thompson Vantage XL which one would you choose? You've also experienced the purple version belonging to Thai Airways. Seat wise I would put this on top of a Philippine Airlines XL yet equal to a Rockwell Collins Serenity seat Korean Air Safran Cirrus/Skylounge CX🇭🇰 NH JL🇯🇵

From one Jersey guy to another, great job. I am always curious. Wonder if you will ever travel to South America? I was an exchange student in Buenos Aires in 1972. The Argentines are wonderful people. Ditto, Brazilians. Maybe your work keeps you from going there but would be interesting.

@tfft Күн бұрын

I have some South America content on the channel already- around 10 videos. I also have spent quite a bit of time in BsAs over the years. Will have stops in SA again later this year and next. Thanks for watching 🩴

I like the fact that you boldly show the cabin crew thus viewers see what their uniforms look like. Did you see their Pilots? If so what do you think of their uniforms?

I’m not sure I’d say a passing glimpse is bold lol

If you know our tiny Vegas airport parking garage is always full and the news need to always tell people to not park, and we sold out every night with 4K rooms, then you won't be surprise how many people crowded in, with the new yearly F1 race scheduled is not helping 😮‍💨
