I was born and raised in Kuwait. I started my aviation journey in Kuwait back in 1988 when my mother called the airport and told them of my interest in aviation. I was invited and met by the airport official and given a tour and ended up having a pile of aviation books that I'm still in possession. I have travelled with Kuwait Airways a couple of time and loved their service. I was one of the lucky ones to travel on that hijacked aircraft (AlJabria). It was emotional and surreal.
I am first travelled on kuwait airways from Mumbai to Rasalksimah 9K-ADB 9sep1979 Later I got an opportunity to work with kac for 28years Ground handling
As a Kuwaiti citizen I am glad to see someone who I respect and admire like Sam visit our country. Wish you had the time to visit the new T2 building under construction. Maybe next time Sam.
Thank you, I will keep an eye on the T2 construction and opening. I believe no date has been set yet. I think Kuwaiti people deserve better travel experience.
I am born and brought up in Kuwait and am a Canadian citizen. I still fly Kuwait Airways and in 2 months, I will be back again in Kuwait after 2 years. Thank you for sharing this history of the country I still call home.
I lived in Kuwait 2008-2011 and in those days flew with Kuwait Airways maybe a dozen times in both business and economy on routes Kuwait to London, Rome, Doha, Dubai. The aircraft were older Boeings and Airbus. Kuwaitis endlessly criticized Kuwait Airways for the aged fleet and poor on time performance, but the flights I took were on time, crew were efficient and friendly, and the food and service was excellent. Yes the airline is dry, but I don't drink alcohol when I fly so it never mattered to me. I'm happy Kuwait Airways has now updated their fleet. In the early years of the emergence of Gulf countries Kuwait Airways was among the best airlines in the world. A new fleet will help them compete with Qatari, Emirates and Etihad.
My dad and grand dad worked for this airlines since the beginning of it starting. Have been flowing Kuwait 🇰🇼 airways all my life! Some of my best memories in life are from my childhood going to Kuwait❤ I’m excited for what lies ahead for the future for this company!
Kuwait Airways seems to be determined to to be one of the best in the coming years, as could be judged from the quality of the crew, service and attitude. Congratulations and Best Wishes... ❤️
I've travelled on KU, QR, EK, EY, AI, 9W, GF, BA, LH, DL & B6 and let me tell there is no airline that manages to nail the taste of food like Kuwait Airways. Yes, they may not have the best presentation and not a lot of options, but they just get food right. Same with the country as well, I think food in Kuwait generally tastes a lot better than what you get in a dish's native country. Btw the new T2 opens either this year or the next.
Kuwait Airways has a history of being ahead of its time in many ways. I’m glad to see it do so once again with a new, refreshing strategy. Throwing tons of money and buying hundreds of planes have already been done by our neighbours, I like that KU have a vision (at last) which is to innovate from that model and show how one can do more with less in the aviation industry
As an almost neighbor i wish kuwait airways all the best! If the food on the plane is gonna be as good as in kuwait, i would even fly just to eat hehe. Ive been to kuwait many times, since its only about an hr away, so a weekend foodie trip is totally doable from uae.
@@Lina_al_j yes!! Food in Kuwait is unparalleled and they seem to be tapping into that, I’m excited to see where they go with that for sure. I do think the next step however should be towards an a La Carte food selection which would nicely complement the upgrade in business glass brought with the A330-900neos due to be delivered
@@farisal-sayed172 i was surprised that even chain restaurants taste better in kuwait than in uae or other gulf countries. Dunno whats the secret over there 😃 but a la carte would be good for business class since other gulf carriers offer that too. Just kuwait would have a way tastier food for sure.
My interest in aviation actually began in Kuwait, when my father was a visiting lecturer at the university there in 1981. Then, we flew on a 747 (on the upper deck!), 9K-ADA. I've watched the growth and development of KAC over the past 40 years with much interest and I'm very glad to see that it's finally getting the investment it deserves, to see it come closer to the likes of other regional carriers. Good luck to them in the future; I hope things are finally coming together for them.
As a Kuwait-born Indian-American, it is nice to see a glimpse of the country I called home for 18+ years. I doubt I will ever visit, so this was nice to see from afar.
It’s nice to have a dry airline. The crew seem very friendly and nice. Your meal looked wonderful. The economy meal looked okay. Hope you enjoyed your flight.
I am not from the gulf but what makes me so in love with Kuwait that alongside Saudi Arabia it is the most richest gulf country with history you can feel the vibe of old times and that what makes Kuwait a unique country.
Thank you Sam for showcasing Kuwait Airways. I am a resident of Kuwait and flew in Kuwait Airways many times. One thing i wanted to tell you that they had improved a lot especially in time keeping and scheduling. I am pretty sure Kuwait airways soon will achieve the best airline under the strong leadership of Mr.Maen Razouqi.
Good evening Sam, this is a honor be received by the CEO, and u deserve it, another fantastic video, and if u could u would like have this kind of 747 model from Kuwait airways , in your living room.
Excellent video Sam! Loved seeing the very rare Airbus A330-800 neo especially in Kuwait Airways striking and beautifully livery! I hope Kuwait Airways 🇰🇼 continues to thrive and has a lot or success with their new modern fleet of aircraft! However I still miss that beautiful livery on their 747-400!!
I am still flabbergasted & awed how Sam is able to get these behind the scenes of the airlines & airports. These videos are highly informative. Thank you Sam.
Flew Kuwait on First Class and gotta say, its spacious and clean. Got good sleep. If you fly Kuwait, book Business and upgrade to First. Absolutely worth it.
I am a filipino and work in kuwait for 22 years and i am keep fly kuwait airways . how they take care of their passengers and treat them i really love it.😊
hi sam, just a fact check, terminal 4 that you used in this video is a temp terminal until the main new terminal 2 which is south of T4 is completed and its gona be one of the most modern and biggest terminals in the world.
I flew on Kuwait Airways in 1999 from Geneva (Switzerland) to New Delhi. It was my first time in India. The airline had a weekly flight from Geneva. The service in economy was very good. The airport in Kuwait was small. I enjoyed my trip.
Another superb video Sam👌🏻 & what you’ve been doing for the past few years by giving a great insight into an airline’s operations, challenges, background etc. & yes, big respect to K.A that they still maintain being a dry airline
Assalamu Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatu I am Ismail Hussain I am a Bengali but I have been working in Kuwait for 6 years I have traveled to my country three times in six years Kuwait Airlines I have been once Kuwaiti Airlines is the best compared to other airlines and the service provided is the best. Love Kuwait and love Kuwait Airlines
I applaud Kuwait for being a dry airline. It is incomprehensible in today's world to put cabin crew on the firing line of dealing with belligerent drunkards. It will improve the overall on board experience for all passengers. I wish Kuwait nothing but success going forward.
I also think this fine. No alcohol. The only time I ever got drunk on an aircraft was on Lufthansa and the cabin crew had made me shut my window blind because they were showing a movie and an open blind was against their regulations. But joining the cabin crew in their space and getting loaded was not! I didn't have to pay for the drinks. The only reason I was up there was it was the only window that didn't have blinds. Well except for the flight deck I suppose.Tiny little porthole window. Couldn't see anything,but I had a lot of free booze.
@@roderickcampbell2105 In fact no drinks were served free of charge to Y (economy) pax until maybe the early 1980s. At the time it was an IATA rule and all members had to obey. This was in contrast to non-IATA carriers (examples: Thai, MAS, Cathay Pacfic and SIA) flying to Europe who did serve Y pax with free drinks. Back then there was no trouble but things have changed over the years.
@@alexmcwhirter6611 Hi Alex. Thanks. Things have certainly changed over the years. You can not get in the galley these days unless you're cabin crew. But you could in the mid 80's on Lufthansa. "You can't look out the window but we'll give you free beer".
That's so rare! I've seen so many A330neo these days, but they are always the 900. You see them often in South East Asia airports. This is actually my first time seeing any Airline operating the 800 version.
I searched this video because in 3:00PM 24 July I will travel to Jordan for the second time with the new kuwaiti airport so I will see what's in the new airport and welcome to KW
Welcome to your second home Kuwait Mr Sam so nice video I try Kuwait Airways many times 2 times in first class to Bangkok its so friendly Staff and the food was so delicious about the ticket price it's better than another Airways but catch the offers Good luck Kuwait Airways and I wish more Of development and progress 💙🇰🇼👍🏼
I do not hear much of Kuwait from North America. Thank you for sharing your videos. I find them interesting and very educational. I would like to try their food! Hi, from Toronto, Canada.
I am a proud Kuwaiti of my national airways and here is why.. In 2019 me , my brother and my father traveled from Kuwait to New York for my father's heart treatment in the US.. Unfortunately 5 hours before landing my father had a cardiac arrest, it seems that his heart stopped for several minutes.. I mean I saw him die I even told him to say the Shahadah(Muslim's last prayers before death) as soon as the cardiac arrest happened the crew rushed for help also some passengers (Indian female doctor and a US male citizen) Some crew members pulled me away to calm me down from the panic , 2-3 minutes later a crew member told me that my father is alive Alhamdulillah.. We landed safely and my father was escorted by an ambulance straight from the plane to the hospital.. the treatment went through and Alhamdulillah he is fine now.. But I feel ashamed that I never had the chance to thank the crew members who I do not know their names nor their faces.. and the Indian female Doctor with the Us male passenger.. I would like to thank them from the bottom of my heart and my thanks also goes through to the Kuwaiti airways management for recruiting and training such awesome crew.
I flew with Kuwait Airways the first time I landed Kuwait in December 1994. This airline has always been on time with their flight schedules, more often early. That is why I always prefer flying with them. All the best to Kuwait Airways.
Me encantan tus videos, la educación y pasión que les das, conocer otras culturas y dar consejos sobre el tema de vuelos es muy interesante 😉👌🏼 saludos desde Costa Rica 🇨🇷
My wife and I flew on a 747 with Kuwait Airways from London to Bombay (as it was then) in the early 1980s. On the second leg of the flight a passenger got out a primus stove and started cooking a meal in the aisle. Those were the days!
I lived in Dubai in the late 90's and returned home from Kuwait on this airline. Our plane was on a remote bay and they had no bus transport available. So they took us to the aircraft on a caravan of camels. On board, there was one squat-style toilet at the back of the aircraft behind a wooden door, and a long queue to use it. The last person in line couldn't wait. He opened a window, hoisted up his dishdasha, poked his bottom outside and dropped a number two at 35,000 feet. Fond memories of the Middle East.
6:48-7:48 my goodness that landing was super buttery🧈 & smooth, especially w: that A330 butter machine 🤤🤤🤩🤩. i think kuwait airways is a very underrated middle east airline among emirates, qatar airways, etihad, etc.
SAM, this air tour is enjoyable, as I have told you before in another video of yours, it’s like I am on the airplane ✈️ with you. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME & SHARING ❤😊
Excellent video Sam, thank you so much. For me, this is one of your better videos, more educational than most. You can only film so many meals, seats & cabins. I enjoyed the behind-the-scenes running of the airline as well as the visual archives, photographs & models of their history going back to 1954.
Outstanding to see how Kuwait has bounced back after the war with their neighbor Iraq in the 1980's. They need to have more international airlines coming into the country and have luxury hotels. I found it so bizarre that they do not serve alcohol specially if they want to attract the business clientele from Europe, US, Australia, and even Asia like Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore. The new fleet of planes is nice to see and the color and the genuine service. Thanks again.
I think only Kuwaiti and Saudi and maybe Malysian airlines are the left dry flights in the world .. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah has cursed wine, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, the one who conveys it, and the one to whom it is conveyed. even if one could see it as less money/opportunity.. its simply better to follow Allah's law.. May Allah guide you brother..
Dear Sam, Terminal 4 is a temporary building that was built to relieve pressure on Terminal 1, and in the near future, Terminal 2 will be completed, which will be an architectural masterpiece
I was working there. in their data center. We built IOCC Cameras in that department before they moved to the HQ. i wish i could come back to Kuwait airways.
Very charming and nice airline. Also nice products and people. If they were flying long haul, I´d miss a sip of a good red wine maybe for dinner but the seats look confortable though.

Wrong. 9K-ADB was Al-Mubarakiya. Al-Jabriya was 9K-ADE, which was the newer B747-400.
Can you tell me more about Kuwait aviation I'm curious and interested to know

Another amazing video, full of backgrounds, thank you so much Sam
Outstanding to see how Kuwait has bounced back after the war with their neighbor Iraq in the 1980's. They need to have more international airlines coming into the country and have luxury hotels. I found it so bizarre that they do not serve alcohol specially if they want to attract the business clientele from Europe, US, Australia, and even Asia like Japan, South Korea, Thailand, Singapore. The new fleet of planes is nice to see and the color and the genuine service. Thanks again.
they have many luxury hotels
and also they don’t serve alcohol because in islam it is strictly prohibited and they do not want to encourage it❤
We have luxury hotels in kuwait kuwait it is so butfile hope u visit my con soon❤
I think only Kuwaiti and Saudi and maybe Malysian airlines are the left dry flights in the world ..
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: Allah has cursed wine, its drinker, its server, its seller, its buyer, its presser, the one for whom it is pressed, the one who conveys it, and the one to whom it is conveyed.
even if one could see it as less money/opportunity.. its simply better to follow Allah's law..
May Allah guide you brother..
Hope you enjoy your visit in Kuwait
And we’re waiting to see you again 💙🇰🇼🇰🇼🇰🇼

Dear Sam, Terminal 4 is a temporary building that was built to relieve pressure on Terminal 1, and in the near future, Terminal 2 will be completed, which will be an architectural masterpiece
What an amazing video, Sam! Thanks and cheers from NYC.

Sam Sir amazing as always. Love you and stay safe
Kuwait Airways is one of the top 50 in the world, salute to you, I hope it was a great experience, Welcome to Kuwait sam
Fun fact : kuwait was actually the first airline in the gcc it was established all the way back in 1954 !
Sam, great video. I am currently working in Kuwait and will definitely have to visit the museum.

The engines are so quiet, love the A330neo and Kuwait for picking it
Very charming and nice airline. Also nice products and people. If they were flying long haul, I´d miss a sip of a good red wine maybe for dinner but the seats look confortable though.
Long time viewer of your channel. I can not travel but through you, I get to experience the world. Thank you!💗
Love the bluebird logo!
Please pray for us 🙏🙏
