other airlines: some generic white and blue Hainan Airlines: REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEED

love the QFS style shots haha. I had that fried rice from Vancouver to Shenzhen it was amazing! awesome video Scott!

Hainan Airlines won the seventh place in The World’s Top 10 Airlines of 2019 in June 18th

Love your videos. Just subscribed. Hugs from Portugal 🇵🇹

Awesome vid!

Some of those shots are so smooth damnn 😇

Awesome editing!👍🏼

Love your videos Scott!

Great review... Awesome shots of Fried Rice and the red awesome shoes!!!

love the quirky and individual way you do your flight review, nice break from the usual way things are done

Nice vid man!

great fun your reviews. thanks a lot

Nice video! Breakfast definitely looked better than dinner!

That meat and sauce looked.. Interesting!! Honoured to be one of your patrons!! Thanks for another detailed review!! 👍🤗

1:00 You like the livery because of the red color. We've all seen your shoes and apple watch band 😉 2:43 My verdict stands... 3:57 Again, it stands... 6:32 Red shoes!!! 6:38 Red Apple watch band! I was right ;)

Keep it up. Entertaining.

Great review! I agree, Liking the Red.

I know I'm going to sound like a broken record soon but your editing and narration are simply superb! As to the colors onboard the plane, boy that is a lot of red!

the meal looked quite delish for an economy meal. safe travels

Glad to see the review b4 my flight with HNA in a 787-9 next week.

Scott I have got to say that you definitely get some of the most stylish shots and footage. Definitely not run of the mill boring! Great job! I enjoy your videos and of course the humorous commentary! Thanks!

Your videos rock really love the humor. Can you upload everyday, haha. Again you the best, always upbeat!!!

wow you are at 17k already! I remember you just hit 10k a couple month ago.

Probably the most entertaining aviation vlogger on KZfaq.

Great video! My favourite footage was the hand washing in the bathroom. You don’t see that often. 😝

Love the red seats and orange colors are so 🌞.food looks good how was the legroom good or bad.thank you for the review i so injoy 👀 your vedios can wait into the next one 😊

I can totally relate to your obsession with fried rice😂 my go to comfort food any day, any night....

I preordered the special meal “fruit plate” it’s the best airplane food I ever had

What’s the song called, I like it!

8:12 yawning shot is another trademark of urs i guess...LOL!!

Hi did you check in a bag. Was hainan airlines strict with checked baggage

The crew are so pretty!

I liked how all of the people seemed confused when you were taking footage of you walking down moving walkway

WHERE DO YOU GET YOUR SHOES?! I've been trying to find bright orange ones again for ages!!

I low-key hope Scott to do a long haul economy review of China southern and Xiamen Air

The seat didn’t equip with the cup holder on 789🤔 Why they cancelled it?

I just found this guy and he's really funny.

I haven't fly with Hainan Airlines yet, just want to know which one is better when compared to Xiamen and Sichuan?

I truly like the way you present and the style in which you use. ......................... ... .... Oh sorry! I was sidetracked for a second. 😄😄😄 Keep it up. I hope you fly more Buisness Class and do reviews. I am most interested in flights from/to BKK - Little Rock.

I have a question anyone in any class can go in the lounge? Or is it only business class.

What's the name of the songs you used?? #CuriousEpidemicSoundUser

The beautiful bold head is back

Scott, you should've ridden the Maglev train into the Pudong Airport!

I’m really interested in seeing a review of Hainan’s service from Tijuana to Beijing.

The stewardesses really have one of the most striking uniforms in the skies.

This is an absolutely fantastic video of an absolutely fantastic airline! I flew Hainan from Edinburgh, Scotland to Dublin, Ireland on a Fifty Freedom flight that goes PEK-EDI-DUB-PEK and PEK-DUB-EDI-PEK and it was fantastic! With the flight only lasting 45 minutes we sadly didn’t get an amenity kit but we did get pillows and blankets and I was allowed to take them with me and I still have them as a souvenir. My 787-9 was less than a year old, it had a great IFE, we got free food (something you NEVER get in European economy class) and my flight cost only £54; not bad to experience a Hainan Dreamliner. Anyway, I’m pleased you enjoyed your flight and welcome to the unofficial Hainan fan club! #FlyHainan

Red seats..what else would you expect on a Chinese carrier...its a wonder they don't hand out The Little Red Book as well !!! I agree...they look great! As do the shoes! Empty seat in the middle is a bonus...bit like USA or European business class!! Khalid...I am sure he said "reach my row"...but it did sound like Nairobi ( funny stuff) Great review and yes certainly a lot more pros than cons....looking forward to your next flight as always!!

Haha the next time I go to the lavatory, remind me to do 'cool' things with a camera in there.

Awesome video man!! The breakfast looks amazing, but the dinner is just.... pretty bad.

Kindlyupdate us Asean air line

Let’s gooo

5.5 - 1.5 for consistency. The meh is half a point to either, I'd say. 3:42 Can someone explain that comma? Pleasant video, very tight editing on this one. Good night from the Netherlands!

Love your cute reviews but you always forget to show the seat recline and footrest which are the most important things!

I flew this route a couple years ago in B/C going east “flies by”

Honestly China has come a long way. As an immigrant who has lived in the US far longer than I have anywhere else, i had always flied western airline for China visits until I met my gf, wife now. Hainan airline is definitely the biggest bang for the buck, crew is generally very friendly and serves you like you're a customer, and they're mostly good looking. Not that it matters but talking to nice looking people seems like a plus.

3:01 Xixuan Airlines? Please tell me you're not trying to say Sichuan Airlines...

Was there an aviation vlogger convention in Chengdu or something? Both you and Sam Chui were in Chengdu recently, along with a couple other vloggers.

Just when i am going to travel within China on Hainan Airlines. Right on! :D

Surprisingly good flight by the looks of it, have not or have yet to try any of the Chinese products may have to give them a go.

Bro the first meal was hilarious Do they have like a snack bar? Because I know you were not full jejeje

Okay. So why is it that every travel KZfaqr I subscribed to always gets an empty seat next to them? Any secrets I should know?

Loved this video! Nice you came to my town! Thank you so much!!

Don’t you just love that Hainan Airlines has Kung fu Panda painted aircraft? What do you guys think? Do the liveries look nice?

Name of song used?

Awesome video! Though I have to admit that the Delta A330neo is much better in every aspect!

I like to hear from United air review.

You shoud do Tibetan airlines,there are no reviews of this airlines

Wait. There’s a Centurion Lounge in PVG??

Back in 2014 my wife took a Hainan Airlines' flight with a 8 hours delay...no compensation at all...so we never try them again😅

Hi Scott, Flying economy? Good to know that.. Hahahhaaa.... I do think that Sichuan Airlines are better and the cabin crews are cheerful. Maybe next time fly Hainan Business Class... :)

When are you "flying is flying " Aer Lingus or Ryanair

Didn't they have mid-flight snacks back in the galley area? Were you not aware of this or did you purposely dis-include it? Could've easily been another PRO.

You eat fried rice with the spoon you had in your hand. That's the common way in Asia.

2:28 Sam Chui became a flight attendant

Hi Scott! Great conclusion to your short China trip here. I have to say I expected the most from Hainan! The food all looks great, just a shame the FAs were not that good.. Regards, Brendan

Hainan airlines is my favourite

Platinum card, eh? You heard that priority pass for us won't have Airport restaurants much longer, right?

Isn’t red a lucky colour in China?

Thank you for this report About "Royal RED Airlines" Overall eco/c looked decent.. Are your watch and shoes giveaways by r.r.a. Those two items also matched the red Interieur...

Man at 4:24 that guy looks confused.

I can see a small red line there.

QFS would get McDonald’s in the airport and bring it onto the plane. Order the weirdest menu item on the plane and poke it for the camera and send it back barely eaten. Order 20x refill of coke

It's pronounced more like "high nun." Thanks for the review.

PVG doesn’t have an Amex Lounge. There are PP lounges, but not Centurion.

another one Chinese airline trying their best.Great report

Beautiful cabin crew

Oops, you did it again! Hainan is pronounced like “high - naan” not “hay - naan” 🤦‍♂️

Did you just say Nairobi or I heard my own things🤣🤣🤣

This is not a hate comment, but why have you been in shanghai so much recently

Well, we start off with a view of the city, as usual, and some pop/techno music, as usual, and usually the techno irritates me, but I'll let this one slide because you're going back to the States and our two types of music are country and a mix of pop, techno, and rap. We see the boarding line, which is long. Like really long. I would have listed that as a con, but... You didn't... So we'll let it slide. The first thing we see (that was a pro) was the Hainan Airlines livery. (I pronounce it live-ry, like "We're going live, Jim." I don't like to make airline paint schemes sound like the taste of a metallic organ.) The thing about the Hainan Airlines livery is that it embodies the preferred colors of China. Red and yellow. Red symbolizes luck and happiness and red symbolizes the earth or prosperity. So basically with their livery, they are trying to gain themselves luck and prosperity. We then see some fried rice. You eat fried rice with chopsticks like you'd eat anything else with chopsticks... You do know how to eat with chopsticks, right? Before walking to the gate, we get a shot of the aircraft and the... (Dramatic walking sequence?) moving walkway video. Soon we board the aircraft, and the first thing I noticed is that the seats are the exact same color as his shoes. I, personally, don't like the red seats, as that would make life a lot harder for NTSB reporters who are looking to see who died and who's only passed out. I was hoping that there would be some numbers as to pitch, recline, and width of the seats, but alas, there's just funkier techno music. For the LOVE OF JEBEDIAH KERMAN, I NEED SOME NUMBERS! I am a very numerically-minded person, and I think all the other people who like hard numbers would agree with me. The reason that everything is red is that they are trying to bring luck to yourself and the airline and to make passengers happy while they fly on it and after they deplane. I mean, that's LITERALLY what I said earlier. We get some nasty looking food after that, which, honestly, probably tasted better than it looked. I don't know, airline food just hits BETTER in the sky. We finally get a con with bad service. WOOT. I mean, not woot, but still, some negatives. Of course, mediocre bathroom footage. As in, the footage wasn't bad, but the bathroom was mediocre. I love airlines that have overhead IFEs showing the moving map, either on the bulkheads or on overhead monitors. That way I can see where we are without having my screen be the map itself and I can watch some epic movies, like *Top Gun.* Danger Zone, anyone? Then we see breakfast, and that looked AWESOME. Way better than most other breakfasts, as they serve GYOZA in ECONOMY CLASS. With dragonfruit, too? Whaaaaa? I understand that you made the review overwhelmingly positive, although I could have come up with a few more negatives. People like you are who made Hainan a 5-star airline. You know, you probably could have said that the hard product was good and the food was good, but the soft product (service and other extraneous variables) were less than average, as that seems to be the final tally. Altogether decently well made, although I still would love to see a spool up, even if it is from the middle row. Put in some numbers and maybe some crew interaction and you've got a good tripreport!

Hi Non and not Hay Non.

In the customer service industry a "meh" is a con. Very bad for business. It has to be very good or excellent.

hainan airline is the only 5-star airline in skytram

grumpy, because FAs haven't got paid

Hainan should be pronounced more like hi-lan instead of hay-lan

you are the only white guy who can make the mainland chinese looked at you like a weirdo when usually it's the opposite hahaha

It's pronounced "Hi-nan" not "hey-nan".

Actually it's pronounced "h-eye-naan" airlines... But hilarious nonetheless.

personal opinion, i dont like this color of red. the red is too over, well, in some part of china, the dead ppl in funereal, will wear similar color shirt...

by giving the crew a con, you probably got them sent to a re-education camp.
