Everyone's having a Starlux syndrome here! Thanks for watching, Roy! I'm just glad I can use my Mandarin again, a language I have barely spoken since 2019...I'm glad that my passion to learn languages - English, Indonesian, Malay, Mandarin, Japanese, Javanese, German (a bit), and Korean (a bit) - combined with my kindergarten and elementary memories (where I learned Mandarin first-hand) came in handy! #GigEm

Hmm...you may be right. If seen from the air, both bridges have quite similar architectures and we did pass both Batam and Johor, so I wouldn't cross out that possibility. Thanks for voicing it out! 😁

Please check your other comment for my reply. Thank you.

Thanks so much! #GigEm

Nope. I prepaid for that. $10 for TPE-SIN, $40 for SFO-TPE.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews Thanks

​@@kenwang1193: You're welcome! #GigEm

After my 4 Starlux flights and hearing my family member's SQ experience, I 100% agree :)

Oops...seems like 5 seconds per caption (the recommended duration according to many articles) is still too fast. Maybe I should extend to 7 - or keep the subtitles in one line only? I hear you, though - thanks for the input and opinion. Will consider reviewing this 😊

@@LoneStarFlightReviews thanks for understanding😉

​@@edwinsane3769: No issue whatsoever! I know different audiences have different preferences (including about subtitle timing), and I'm glad you tell me how you feel as this helps me understand what my audiences do and don't like. I've noted your opinion and will consider it for future videos of mine. ❤

Thanks! I only carried 15kg, so no issue with bags. On the way back, one of my bags did go a little bit over (.2kg over) but they didn't care, too (they would if you're .5kg over). That being said, I can't give you 100% assurance because at the end of the day, your check-in agent could be having a bad day and venting it out on you, but 9 times out of 10, you will be OK. Carry-on wise, no issue as long as you don't make your bags look heavy. They don't check, anyway, if your bags look OK in size. Rating-wise, you can check it out here: lsflightreviews.wixsite.com/lsflightreviews/full-reviews-jx11 . Lastly, yes, I'm based out of DFW :)

@@LoneStarFlightReviews come on you are an excellent packer. When the rule is 23KG, my bags always go over 24KG> .5kg over itsnt a big deal

Nah, I'm still getting there. For me the airlines would usually be ok if it's no more than 0.5kg/1 pound over. I have checked bags that are a pound over on American, they too didn't care. I have even brought a carry on that's 1.5 kg over on AirAsia and nobody dinged me. That being said, I said this based on the assumption that the check-in counter is manned. Why? AirAsia's automated machine dinged me for my checked bag being 0.1kg overweight back in SIN and KUL, and the agent refused to bend over backwards. At the end of the day, it is up to each agent's discretion, or more likely, how the automated kiosks are programmed.

Indeed, and that's on me. FRITS episodes 52 (this), 53 (Japan Airlines 16) and 54 (American 2833) have this issue; this video was created when my video editor was bugged up with problems. I have set the subtitles to display for 5 seconds, but the caption animations took 1 second each in the beginning and the end, which is why I ended up getting a 3-second caption instead of the supposed 5 that I have set. FRITS episodes 51 and prior, plus FRITS episodes 55 (starting from my Starlux video) onwards shouldn't have this issue as I have stopped using caption animations anymore. Many people have complained about this problem on the three episodes aforementioned, and that's why I have fixed it on FRITS episodes 55 onwards. I'm still glad you called me out on this, because this one is indeed substandard compared to my recent contents.

I did. $100 in total for 4 flights (SFO-TPE and back $40 each, TPE-SIN and back $10 each).

@@LoneStarFlightReviews thanks

You're welcome! :)

So...what I can infer from your statement is that the 787-9 and other aircrafts will never get the new safety video that is designed for the three 777-300ERs that you have just mentioned?

@@LoneStarFlightReviews Well i don't think that thai airways will make newer safety video on everyplane except 77Y maybe they'll soon ,Very good Video mate

Gotcha. Thanks for watching! :)

Well...I guess I goofed up again. Thanks for pointing it out!

@@LoneStarFlightReviews It's okay, not weird at all since that is not your language. 👌🏼

Comments like this always warm my heart. Thanks for your understanding - I will fix the English CCs once I can get my laptop working.

Great week ahead to you too! :)

Safran's IFE screen and systems are previously known as Zodiac. Starlux is using the same system too. And yes - I believe these are slightly customized Collins Pinnacle seats as they look 85% similar, except for the traytable. Surely all of these can't be old gen Safran Z300s like what Air France has on their older B777s.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews their A350-900 is a full 100% model.

Yep. The design alone is a dead giveaway - Batik and Garuda have been using those. Collins also make seats with similar design to Safran's Z300, called the Meridian.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews yep I searched it up they are similar design to the to Safran Z300.

Did you by chance find it on Skyart? Because they said these are Recaro CL3510Bs, which is true since TG did install some of them, but not on this plane as the design looks different. The seatback design screams Sicma to me, but I'm half-sure. You may be right. I'll check again.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews the older 777-200 has Recaro not the 777-200er. These seats are the same as the Boeing 777-300 ,3 older A330-300 ceo which was retrofitted in 2019 and both A340-500 and A340-600. I fly on the on both A340-500 and A340-600 since I was little and the Boeing 777-300 once in 2015 but I remember these seats. All the A340 are 2-4-2 for economy and Boeing 777-300 is 3-3-3 configuration like all of their Boeing 777 fleet. The 777-300 business class has 2-3-2 configuration unlike the 777-200 and 777-200er. A340-500 has 2-3-2 for premium economy ,all the A340 has 2-2-2 for business class. A340-600 is the only A340 with First class. The A380 also has Recaro economy seats but they are a bit different with the tray table, ife screen and the placement of the ife remote.

I checked again, and yes, you're right. These 777-200ER seats are made by Koito, of unknown model. I'll get the description fixed ASAP. I stand corrected. Thank you for correcting me!

@@LoneStarFlightReviews I can’t find out what model it is but it’s Koito

Description updated. Thanks!

It is indeed hard: I have to rely on Aerolopa, other flight reviewers, other airlines, and even some marketplace sites. In this case, the seats look very similar to the ones used in Korean Air and Japan Airlines, which are Weber (now Safran) 5751s.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews the back is very different the most so it’s mostly hard to tell.

Indeed. I was about to say these are Pinnacles, but this article confirms that the seats are Weber/Safran 5751: www.nycaviation.com/photo-galleries/photos-thai-airways-receives-first-boeing-777-300er-with-redesigned-interior/nggallery/image/the-thai-economy-cabin-features-302-weber-5751-seats-in-a-3-3-3-layout-photo-by-liem-bahnemannycaviation The same article would mention the business seats are made by Sogerma; that company is now Stelia, hence why I put Stelia Solstys instead of Sogerma Solstys.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews thank you for sending me this article. I am try to know each seats manufacturers for each airline and plane that they use on.

You're welcome! You can also watch Simply Aviation's videos; they also mention the seat types. Do note that in some cases inaccuracies can happen, so it's best to cross-check across multiple sites.

They are Z300s. Their trapezoid headrests are a dead giveaway, plus Z300s are more commonly used than Z400s. What I don't know is whether their new A330s have Pinnacles or Air France-style old-gen Z300s; I'm banking towards the prior.

Hurung premiere ki, Cak. Tunggu 2 dina maneh hehehe. Mung jelas apik. 😁

Just a 20-inch small-sized bag not exceeding 7kg, the rest were backpacks and checked bags of varying size. 😁

I am not sure about this. Some Instagram stories of Thai Airways crews seem to support your statement, but there have been some Thai passengers who boarded TG9XX and did not see any Thai dresses worn, which confused me. Nevertheless, thanks for watching!

Thanks! :)

Glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for watching! It was indeed mostly positive from start to finish! :)

Lumayan sih, mas. Luwih akeh nek dibandingke karo tahun lalu. Gak sempet liat nganti detail soale baru wae meh nonton siji wis meh landing 🤣

Oh - definitely. Who else offers 2-4-2 on a 787. The "Sky Wider" brand lives up to its name and that's why JAL used to be champions in the Economy Class department.

Saw your Business Class video because one of the FAs (Dorlia) on your flight was also on my flight from SFO-TPE. I can nitpick that they should have set the legroom to 33' for economy since JAL, KE, NH, and OZ do so, but again, it does not matter much because the seats were already so wonderful in most of their aspects. Tbh they made me forget about JAL, ANA, Korean, and Asiana, and they have definitely raised the bar! Thanks for watching!

Gur sedhiluk kok, Mas. Bar kui balek neh kok. 😁

Glad to be back! :)

TPE's Terminal 1 definitely looks ancient because it was from the 1970s - but not Terminal 2 for me. But for me, merely because of the attitude of the staff at security and the ground staff overall, I would place HND and NRT first, TPE second, HKG third, and Incheon last. As you said, Incheon seemed to be filled with people who were unhappy with their jobs. Terminal-wise, I'd say HND > NRT > ICN > HKG > TPE. Same with the PreCheck staff at SFO who rudely told me to take out laptops and shoes even though I have PreCheck and satirically told me that "you're supposed to hold your TSA PreCheck card" (tbh, this was my fault too) as if he knew I was a newbie, which I was. I was about to call a supervisor, but considering TSA said that even with PreCheck you can still be asked to remove your shoes and laptops, I call that business as usual, except for the rudeness. DFW and LAX TSA are way friendlier for me and DFW TSA even guided me on how to use PreCheck. I still managed to get past security in 2 to 3 minutes anyway, and at the end of the day, I've been through Incheon in the past and they were similar, if not worse, in rudeness. I would put BKK security in the same level of rudeness too. Terminal-wise, I have no complaints about SFO because they're way smaller than LAX which I liked. I was able to transit from the B gates back to the B gates again in just 25-35 minutes compared to the 45-55 that I took to transfer from TBIT to T4. Thanks for watching!

Agree - I don't want to spend $1500K++ on JAL and ANA (even when booked through United/AA since I am both a MileagePlus and AAdvantage member) when I can get roundtrip tickets on JX for $350-500 less (and I am also a Mileage Plan member which Starlux also partners with). Indeed, the crews were so nice! And....yeah. I ate congee twice onboard a plane; one on CX and one on JX. CX won hands down, they were the closest to my grandma's 😂 EDIT: Just realized I also ate congee on JAL. JAL won hands down in that case, CX close second. Thanks for watching!

STARLUX Premium Econ and Econ meals to LAX are from EVA AIR Kitchen (Because they are "somehow" related)

@@keiming2277 : Perhaps because of the "Chang Kuo-wei effect" as he used to hold a tremendous influence in both EVA and Evergreen? Nice to know this, though.

@@LoneStarFlightReviews And the Asia routes Econ meals are from China Airlines Kitchen

@@keiming2277 : Okay - so that eliminates my "Chang Kuo-wei effect" speculation. I believe they're just using what is available. Perhaps they'll do so until they have their own?
