Than you so much. Yes, I miss my 747-400s.. The takeoff from Tokyo Haneda was really nice. Yes those Rolls Royce engines are what I remember when flying for United Airlines. For me sitting at Door 1 backwards in the jump seat was always nice. I loved looking at the wings during takeoff and taking the weight on the aircraft.
fantastic video and audio on take off. Spool up noise was fantastic from those amazing Rolls Royce engines and the footage felt like you were outside for take off. Well done and thank you.
Very nice trip report Sam, Thank you for uploading it. I do love the 747 First class cabin in the nose, still a very nice place to be. This is a great product to be on for the short flight. You have to love the RB211's , Looking forward to more trip reports.
Thank you, Sam, for sharing! How bittersweet knowing the 747 fleet is slowly being phased out, but she will live on in the 747-8f and perhaps there will be a passenger version!
Great shot of the Star wars 789 ANA( which I have travelled on many times )with boarding all star wars music and toys. A flight attendant sked me did I like the toy and replied it was silly. At least she laughed
I shared your video with my crew member friends on Facebook. Ok, Sam I will tell you I do still miss flying into Hong Kong to lad at Kai Tek International....
You'll have to share your secret on how you get all the women to flock around you. Lovely cabin with very wide seats. You looked very comfortable with all your pillows enjoying that fabulous looking drink. Also, the food looked memorable. Thanks Sam for yet another fantastic video!
Maybe if you would need another 747 experience, you should fly Lufthansa, because the have numerous 747-8I aircraft within their fleet. After-all, they were responsible for some of the recommendations for new design features on the 747-8I; wherefore, they have yet to receive all they have ordered.
Thank you for sharing your trips on TH-cam. I am Marcus Lee Mays on Facebook and I have some of my photos from my life flying...Have a great summer flying and thank you again.
The 747 is being phased out in favor of the more fuel efficient 787 Dreamliner family of aircraft. The 777 family to some extent as well, but the 787 is by far the more fuel efficient of the two and will likely be used more than the larger 777 even if airlines have to offer more flights to accommodate more passengers. The cost per seat on the 787 would warrant it. Also there has been some talk about building the 747-8f in a passenger version,with its more fuel efficient Pratt and Whitney engines, in order to maintain competition with Air Bus and the A380.
Also I have heard that the 777 may becoming to the end of it's production because the 787 Dreamliner is so much more cost effective and is selling better than the 777,
CX was a great airline but now not the same management...staff and pilots always complaining about many issues --is there to see on staff morale and their faces . I wish Sam could be a little more honest like Paul strip reports or maybe they may not upgrade him
Cathay Pacific is the obvious choice here, but other good airlines on this route with non-stop service are, Cathay Dragon, Hong Kong Airlines. I would pick those over China Eastern & Junyao.
so disrespectful that you film the people working there without their approval and upload them online without their permission. money can buy a seat but cant education and civilisation. so sad.
How the hell do you know it was without their approval? I've seen him plenty of times record how he gets into the plane and talking to crew cam in hand, also the camera has to be pretty obvious. Also, he is recording in a public space. Maybe you're the one who needs to learn a bit of education.
I was working many years for a big airline. All this business class jerks were filming me and my colleagues without even asking. They have the mentality: i pay so i do what i want. And you don't have the rights to protect your self from them!!! Thats how i know. You don't have any idea. Thats obvious.
i didn't say to don't film the airplanes. i said to don't film the people working without their permission and then upload them on youtube. this is where this guy shows that he has a lot of money but lacking eduction and respect. and btw. i am not gonna tell you personal information about my life and work. and especially here.
its horrible that people like u exist. insisting they have the right to film anyone and upload the video online, only because they can afford a fare. horrible people. just this.
Another top class trip report. An asset to TH-cam. Thanks for the videos!

Cathay's first class is quite cool! Never knew Cathay operated the 747 Queen of the Skies!
Retired in 2016
Sam. I love your reviews. Great work fading out the music so that we could appreciate the landing.
Very nice trip report Sam, Thank you for uploading it. I do love the 747 First class cabin in the nose, still a very nice place to be. This is a great product to be on for the short flight. You have to love the RB211's , Looking forward to more trip reports.
Cathay pacific is always an one world star airline
my parents work at cathay hk and its pretty cool tbh. my dad being a pilot and my mom being a flight stewardess
Absolutely a beautiful flight. Thank you for the adventure!🍱
6:08 most stunning and clear view I've seen from a TR!
I miss the old sam
Thank you, Sam, for sharing! How bittersweet knowing the 747 fleet is slowly being phased out, but she will live on in the 747-8f and perhaps there will be a passenger version!
Lufthansa has several 747-8i's that are passenger
Cathay Pacific is retiring all of their passenger 747s by October 1st. They still have the 7478F for their freight service.
Jeff Blatter I still see Cathay 744 over my house at CGK.
Mt Fuji shot was awesome!!
I loved the wing view during landing.
Great shot of the Star wars 789 ANA( which I have travelled on many times )with boarding all star wars music and toys. A flight attendant sked me did I like the toy and replied it was silly. At least she laughed
Awesome vid Sam
Wonderful video, as always!

The last CX 747 PAX flight is on 1st October, HND to HKG. Then all CX 744 PAX aircraft are gone...
A sad day for the Queen of the Skies
Maybe if you would need another 747 experience, you should fly Lufthansa, because the have numerous 747-8I aircraft within their fleet. After-all, they were responsible for some of the recommendations for new design features on the 747-8I; wherefore, they have yet to receive all they have ordered.
once in a lifetime with CX 747 😍👍🛫

Sam Chui , please review Garuda B77W LHR section
This is luxury to me. Not the golden paint and flowers everywhere you see on Emirates.

They're retiring their 747-400's in October 2016
So what are they replacing the 747's with (777, A380 or something smaller) or are they shrinking the fleet?
The 747 is being phased out in favor of the more fuel efficient 787 Dreamliner family of aircraft. The 777 family to some extent as well, but the 787 is by far the more fuel efficient of the two and will likely be used more than the larger 777 even if airlines have to offer more flights to accommodate more passengers.

Probably an Airbus A350
+Sam Chui you have tried garuda first class 777
Hey, Sam. Have you ever tried any airline of Chinese mainland? Like China Southern, Eastern and Air China?
you should as what airline he has not taken before..haha
which is the best airline to travel from new york to santiago, buenos aires or rio?
Surely the Reg. Should have been C-HUI not B-HUI:)
C-HUI would mean the plane is canadian
+samuelthomas17 ye but sam C-HUI
Sam Sam do you need a bag boy?
surftb15 wasn't the Cathay Pacific 747 fleet retired in 2014?
I think that was Japan airlines
They still have 3 in service and they are looking to retire them at the end of this year, between October - December.
The last flight of CX B747 is this September on HKG-HND-HKG!
When I Travel The World

CX was a great airline but now not the same management...staff and pilots always complaining about many issues --is there to see on staff morale and their faces . I wish Sam could be a little more honest like Paul strip reports or maybe they may not upgrade him

I like 747
I hope I see him once. And tell him to give me a first class ticket lol
What was all the sound during takeoff?
What sound?
+Patrick Z the bang at 3:25
Probably running over runway light. Or a foreign object.
my dream
Please try air india
7 seats?
This guy needs to make an ANA video
What's a good airline for Shanghai to Hong Kong?
Cathay Pacific is the obvious choice here, but other good airlines on this route with non-stop service are, Cathay Dragon, Hong Kong Airlines. I would pick those over China Eastern & Junyao.
Thanks!
Definitely recommend Cathay for that.
you should just go from cathay but if youre looking for a cheaper less 'quality' flight go take dragon air
Music pls...
