Should wearing a mask still be essential 3 years later?
Breathing in your own CO2 for that long can’t be healthy.
Long live the B747-800 in passenger service!

There’s just no excuse that they use the Delta Sky Club in Atlanta. You don’t even get champagne in the Sky Club, unless you pay. As much as I’d like to fly the 747 again, I’m glad I flew seat 1-A on Delta and Northwest many times before Delta (stupidly) eliminated the 747. I couldn’t imagine paying for Korean first. If I’m dropping that kind of money, I’m doing Air France first or Emirates.

Seat 1A. For my first overseas first class experience ever and to do it on the Queen of the skies in that magical seat forward of the pilots and with four gorgeous windows to look out below the beautiful world below, it was absolutely the highlight of my 1.3MM flight mile career thus far. Worth the money to upgrade for what may be a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you Sam for your video review that helped to prepare for my trip.

Other ways to get to Asia in First.

The Korean Air crew are superb professionals and top of their class. Keep on flying and sharing your memories and your happy and most respectful air-vlog presentations.

I was on a paid ticket for a business trip. (Business expense)

Korean Air First Class availability is scarce (Look for A class) but last minute I’ve seen on some date occasionally available on SFO or ATL route.

Caviar was served only once.

Cabin attendents & foods are what I like about airlines of Taiwan, Japan, & South Korea, and what I dislike about airlines of many other places. BTW, a YouTube video posted by “日テレNEWS” on 02/06/2023 with the title of “【発見！】こんなところに名店が!? 味も”味わい”も満点な人気店『every.特集』” is showing a restaurant that every aviatio geeks would love — windows literally next to the taxiways of Tokyo Haneda Airport.
