Air New Zealand’s flight attendants are really so friendly. They’re equally friendly to the economy passengers as they are to first class. The food is also amazing. Definitely one of my favourite airlines.
Air New Zealand is rated the worlds safest airline,I love it especially since I live in new Zealand,The safety videos are absolutely amazing! The flight attendants and staff are so friendly and even let kids hand out lollies to everyone!!! I love it so much!!!
@@DailyDoseofAviation - You have to be kidding, The so call 'upgrading' of Auckland Airport is New Zealand's long ongoing construction site, There a better newer terminal buildings in NZ like Christchurch, Wellington, even Kerikeri than Auckland Airport.
Good review Sam. Thanks. Like you, it had been many, many years since I had flown Air NZ. The last time was also a B747-400 from LA to Auckland. My most recent flight with Air NZ was from Sydney to Houston via Auckland on their B787 and B777-300ER. It was a very nice flight. The seat config is a bit odd as you noted lacking some expected privacy. The seats should be angled toward the window and inward in the middle. I have heard these lack of privacy complaints before. Having lived in Singapore for 20+ years, I have been a loyal Singapore Airlines customer. However, after my flight with Air NZ, I would rate them higher than SIA from check in to arrival. The lounges, cabin crews, service, food and quality tops SIA in my opinion. I will fly Air NZ more often - when I can after this COVID situation.
Thank you Sam for this post. I work on the Dash 8 Q300 regional fleet for our national airline and all I can say is that I am so lucky to still be flying around our country right at this moment. All our hearts are breaking for our and other airlines especially our London based crew who have just had the worst news.. Arohatinonui Kia koutou katoa I te whanau. Much loves to all our family here and abroad xox
What route do you fly, I’m from Palmerston North and Over the years I’ve realized they stopped flying the q300 in to palmy and more of the Atr72. But right know I’m in Canada until the end of the year, hopefully by then all the Covid 19 stuff will be gone.
@@rccarfan4865 Kia Ora buddy, I'm all over the region's from kerikeri to invercargill but tomorrow morning I'm off to Timaru via Wellington and Tauranga from Auckland. You are correct about the ATR but we still frequently fly down to Palmy, thank goodness as my mum lives in Marton and whanau in Feilding. Stay safe in beautiful Canada bro and yep cant wait till all this is behind us.
@@lordtopcat I have a few times, we scramble to get that overnight as it's more mt cook but the hotel is really nice and half price which always helps.
I just realized after years of watching Sam's videos, it's like he's the main character of a video game because the plot is really involving him a lot and there's so many personal dialogue with him.
I was happy with what I saw of progress in aviation to New Zealand dear to my heart I have lived there for several years and its peaceful people to Permanent development in the fieldsone of your many lovers is from Saudi Arabia
i am so excited today because im from New Zealand!! So cool to see you flying my personal favourite plane! Nice video too! love it! keep up the Great work!!
Sam, I love how kind and appreciative you are to everyone! Fantastic video. I've flown Air New Zealand about 8 times, and I learned new things from watching this! Namely - how that frickin' Sky Couch actually works ;)
I’m live in Auckland and I have experienced the first class in air New Zealand and it is just insane and cool even when it’s not first class it’s so cool go on air New Zealand!
To feel the the real Air New Zealand experience you need to be in economy one of the best in the world in my opinion! Don't really like the layout of the business class though.
They're changing the New planes configuration as well as adding Sky Beds for hire on Long Haul also the Uniforms are being revamped as well as the interior lighting and Internet speeds end of 2020.
G'Day Sam, I recently flew same 777 seat setup , and being a pilot and aviation enthusiast, I have to agree, I kinda felt odd not having the usual window seat view. I won't do it short haul again, but long haul its great. Air NZ are crew are usually friendly to all pax, and the food outstanding. I'm glad you did the Mount Cook ski planes last time you were in NZ, fly safe, cheers Rodger
Our wine industry is very young compared to other countries. Probably about 50 years and in a lot of cases, much younger than that. Some of our wine makers have trained overseas. Wineries often have restaurants attached so the food and wine combinations can be had on the ground in New Zealand. Some people forget how fortunate we are to live here.
Air New Zealand have a base at LHR especially for this flight. Good to hear some British accents and the cracking Northern Ireland one off the chap closing the door! I hope they will be okay with the closure of the route and the downturn in aviation.
I know this was a year ago and sorry if someone has said this already! However the "hongi" ( breath of life) is exchanged in a symbolic show of unity the visitor and the people of the land are connected and are one because they have shared the same breath of life which then means you are welcome on our lands
@@thebeerhunter7307 Dued it an international airline of an island that not many people know and seeing Sam chi go on air New Zealand was like a special privilege....
I’m from New Zealand and have fly All Black many times now, I just want to let you know that I love all of your videos. If anyone agree with me then hit the thumbs up.
And that would have been one of the last times Air NZ flew that route. It was due to end in November, but they pulled the pin early in March when COVID struck. Glad you enjoyed it! I also really like the Star Alliance lounge at LAX.
We did this flight (all the way from AKL though!) in Aug 2019. I LOVE Air NZ and am so sad that they stopped flying from LHR. I’ve been in economy and premium economy and think the service is top notch. Entertainment is excellent- free wifi is worth its weight in gold.
Take me back when traveling was a thing!!! Until next year....2020 has been ruined. My deepest condolences to all those life lost and jobs lost due to covid-19. Hope we get back to normal in 2021.🙏
Hi Sam, Thank you very much for doing Air New Zealand, I have been looking forward to this review for a long time! I would love it if you were to one day travel to New Zealand via Air New Zealand and make a vlog about it. Otherwise as one of your NZ Kiwi Subscribers a thank you for this long-awaited review and I enjoyed watching every moment of it!
It's like a wildfire at the moment. The "seed" is grounded but soon after the virus is gone all will come back and florish even bigger and better than before. Until the next bug emerges from a chinese wet market... If you want to hear what a real pilot thinks about the current mess then go to the "mentour aviation" - channel. He'll tell you!
It was great to spot the Concorde upon your landing at Heathrow. I would have thought it would have been in a more prominent location - as it is, it looks like an old used car put at the back behind all the nice newer vehicles. At least people landing or taking off can see it. As always Sam, another wonderful video. Stay safe and be healthy!
Sam should do a few videos about the longest, best, and worst flight he ever had. I find this very interesting. My buddy works for Lockheed and lives in Texas. He just flew to Hawaii and the entire flight (night flight) he had severe turbulence over the ocean. Pretty rare, but he said the plane was dropping hundreds of feet at a time. Wild ride.
Respect to the amazing cabin crew! Even before the Coronavirus reared its ugly head, the Los Angeles to London portion of this flight from Auckland had been announced by Air NZ that were cutting this route to London later this year. The London based cabin crew on this portion of the NZ1/2 flights would have known they were loosing their jobs when this flight was taken and recorded. They all acted so professionally and proud to promote the airline regardless.
Dear Sam, True story... 1984 I was working for the Japan Group/Shimano when the 84 Olympics came to town. Being an ex professional racer I was given the task to take care of the New Zealand bike team as they had poor bicycles and shoddy equipment. Five months before the games the president of Shimano Japan gave me carte-blanche to get the whole team anything they needed, ie from hand built custom built bikes, tools and tons of equipment, even four full size rental vans. I died and went to heaven designing all these road and time trial bikes with the latest and some prototype Shimano equipment. Time trial being my fav, I poured my soul into every detail. Then a few days before the games the bike team started to arrive at LAX, and quickly took them to their secured living quarters. Knowing that I love time trial they were quick to show me their New Zealand racing skinsuits. I was shocked to see they were nearly 100% black and it was July as LA was melting in heat. I advised them to make white NZ skin suits and asked if they brought them The didn't. When it came time to run their TT race it was on the new #2 freeway, the surface was almost 125 degrees. Needless to say thanks to the black skin suites they almost didn't finish as heat exhaustion ate them alive. !!!BUT HEY WE ALL HAD A GREAT TIME!!! As a thank you the team gave me a Time Trial Helmet and other beautiful gifts which to this day I still display their TT race helmet in my pro bike shop in Seattle. FUN. PS, I live just across the lake where Boeing makes their 737s and get to see them take off brand new for testing every day. Keep up the great work, Dan ( :
I’ve been lucky enough to fly Air NZ business class once, LHR to LAX. Was seated in 11J. Was a fantastic flight, great food and drink and I had a good sleep waking up fresh in Los Angeles.
Hi Sam! I am a new subscriber and so far I am loving your channel! I've wanted to be a pilot since I was 10 and now I am in aviation school. Your channel really helped me to realize how fun aviation really is! Thanks! 😁😊
Been there done that:) LAX to LHR on NZ004 Just not in first class. But even us Coach folks got champagne. Great views out the windows from 58K. Great memories.
thank you so much for this video! very helpful as it showed everything about the inside of the plane! now off to go build the interior of my air new zealand 777-300er in MC xD
Thanks Sam you just made my day as only couple of days ago I left the comment on one of your video where I was asking you about Air New Zealand 🇳🇿😃 Hope you enjoyed your flight and one day will come to Auckland 👍🏻
Sam Chui Wow I have a replay from Sam Chui 😃 thanks for your time, hope you can find a minute to meet with your subscribers while you in Auckland🙋🏻♂️ with my next fly I will have free SkyCouch upgrade can’t wait till this terrible things with Corona Virus 🦠 finish. Thanks again for your time😃
You know Sam...I'm a Kiwi and used to work as a travel agent in NZ. Air NZ did not always have a good reputation in the industry, but in the past year they have become one of the best airlines. Their cabin crew are totally friendly and no attitude, which I love. I travel constantly, because I have family in NZ and Australia, but I live in Canada. Air NZ would always be a first choice for me.
The best one for that is the Air NZ 787. It only has a 1-1-1 config, so if you sit on the leftside of the plane (i think), the middle section of seats face away from you so you don't get the view of their feet. But I still don't like how it's angled away from the window.
Sam, you are "the" luckiest SOB I can think of. You're living your life man. I believe you might end up in space one day. All the very best. With love from Sri Lanka
I went on this exact plane my mum actually works for air new zealand we went in buisness class im pretty sure best flight ever! loved the soup they served
⚠️This trip and vlog was made in February. I strongly against all non-essential travel for the time being. ⚠️

Air New Zealand’s flight attendants are really so friendly. They’re equally friendly to the economy passengers as they are to first class. The food is also amazing. Definitely one of my favourite airlines.
Yes!! I've noticed this also. I always tell people that flying in Economy with ANZ feels as good as First Class in many other airlines...

The secret for excellent service: wear a Sam Chui disguise!
I do have to say Air New Zealands service is pretty great, I must say. And you can just go up and talk to the crew
Not really, that’s typical if you’re in business class.
Not a bad idea

I can’t imagine what the airline industry will look like after coronavirus.
For most countries, their main Airline will most likely be bailed out by their respective Government’s which is a good thing

weird configuration, never seen before. Matras is a plus tough :P
thank you so much for this video! very helpful as it showed everything about the inside of the plane! now off to go build the interior of my air new zealand 777-300er in MC xD
I am a srilankan fan of this channel... and I like you are doing a first class video with Srilankan airlines 🇱🇰 ❤✌️🌹.
I am from Wellington New Zealand but I am planning on moving to the UK really soon
ItsKwazii please don’t

Thanks Sam you just made my day as only couple of days ago I left the comment on one of your video where I was asking you about Air New Zealand 🇳🇿😃 Hope you enjoyed your flight and one day will come to Auckland 👍🏻
Thank you. After edited the vlog even myself was very excited and wanting to come to NZ and fly AirNZ again perhaps trying out SkyCouch!
Sam Chui Wow I have a replay from Sam Chui 😃 thanks for your time, hope you can find a minute to meet with your subscribers while you in Auckland🙋🏻♂️ with my next fly I will have free SkyCouch upgrade can’t wait till this terrible things with Corona Virus 🦠 finish. Thanks again for your time😃
I’m just glad how Sam just reviewed air nz
You know Sam...I'm a Kiwi and used to work as a travel agent in NZ. Air NZ did not always have a good reputation in the industry, but in the past year they have become one of the best airlines. Their cabin crew are totally friendly and no attitude, which I love. I travel constantly, because I have family in NZ and Australia, but I live in Canada. Air NZ would always be a first choice for me.
well this just makes me love New Zealand culture even more :)
Cool plane spotting at the start! love the vid Also keep making these awesome vids and stay safe!
Edit: I wish the did the Haka in that flight 😂😂🤣
Yes was amazing
Been on Air NewZealand Biz. Great service but the seating is weird seeing other people’s feet. Yuck!
The best one for that is the Air NZ 787. It only has a 1-1-1 config, so if you sit on the leftside of the plane (i think), the middle section of seats face away from you so you don't get the view of their feet. But I still don't like how it's angled away from the window.
Sam, you are "the" luckiest SOB I can think of. You're living your life man. I believe you might end up in space one day. All the very best. With love from Sri Lanka
It's so epic looking when plane lands

Hi from Norway
Ur vids are incredible like who doesn’t wanna watch ur vids and I wanna go on airplane for more times I go every year
That livery is NICE.
Interesting fact is ZK-OKQ is the most photographed single aircraft in the world.
Kieran Macdonald source?
I'm surprised that record isn't held by Air Force One. Whereabouts did you hear this?
it's true when this plane lands at any Airport in the world it has cameras waiting,
AIR FORCE ONE is not an passenger Airliner
Nice music!
Probably a lot of “first” people
Finally know the feeling of 1st class. No queues.
I really like see world’s plane operators and crew cabin’s uniform! I’m enjoyed watching your videos about planes & staff team! Well done! 👍
Staff are so friendly..love the team
And who noticed concorde 14:15
