I flew on a Korean Air Boeing 747-8 from Atlanta to Seoul Incheon in First Class. This is the current longest Boeing 747 flight in the world with over 7,100 miles and with 15-16 hours of flying time.
Check out the Korean Air First Class Suite (Kosmo Suite II) and its amenities. During the flight, I tried out the Korean Bibimbap, which is served across all classes on Korean Air. I also learned about Korean culture from the Korean cabin crew.
For many of us, the journey itself is the most exciting part of the trip. Korean Air B747-8 First Class is one fine example of luxury travel with a fully enclosed private suite, fine dining, amenities and attentive service. The only thing missing is the Wi-Fi connectivity to make the experience perfect.
As a cabin crew myself, I can just say from a professional side, that the woman in this video is a true gem to her company. I would love to have a colleague like her!
Hi
You realize these videos are the pr machine going crazy right?
They might not be as nice as they appear in the video.
Having taken
Korean Air a number of times, I can say from experience, they are very nice and courteous all around.
pay matters. The reason why Korean Air is costly, compared to other airlines, and cheap ones like AA or Delta, is because they not only pay their cabin crews in high amounts, but also treat the customers the best. AA and Delta sucks ..Its cheap for a reason

Korean Air is very famous beyond Koreans. The flight attendant is exceptional...you can tell she is not fake. She's very good.
I am retired from an airline and when I had the privilege of flying first class, we were never served anything like this. I'm impressed. 🎉
I would always fly KAL, their customer service is exceptional.
Korean Air's bibimbap meal at economy class is incredible! Absolutely didn't regret going for this option against the Western one. Basically the best food I have ever had on an airline.
I've been on countless business class flights and the economy bibimbap on korean air never fails to amaze me. It's so simple and delicious, as well as being healthy and having a good portion size. Absolutely love it.
As beautiful as that plane was, inside and out, his flight attendant was drop dead gorgeous...

Congratulation inbox let's talk i got something for you Dude📦
Well, it's hard to tell with fucking face masks. BTW I don't like how they still force both passengers and crew to wear one. I flew Lufthansa and Singapore Airline last fall and no masks on board.
Unlike in the US, Flight Attendant is a highly sought after job. The girls who are selected are usually very good looking and very motivated to provide good customer service.
He is honestly the nicest and happiest guy on TH-cam
Ya cuz he’s rich and travels internationally lol if corse he’s happy
@@86joncooper rich is not always = to happiness.I thinl your response should be he loves what he is doing and that brings happiness.Dont forget about the numerous rich but sad individuals.
I’ve been to so many countries I’ve been to Ethiopia ,Malawi Luxembourg Kenya Johannesburg United States and Mozambique ,Zimbabwe and Dublin.❤
I swear 😂
@@zanegps4account115 dublin isn't a country
Korean Air has gotta be one of the best airlines
❤ Love Korea, Koreans, and all things Korean! 🇰🇷
Korean Air cabin crews never fail to disappoint me. Always smiling and gentle voices.
Two thumbs up
Ahh yes, only airline in the world forcing face masks. I flew the same route on Delta and zero masks. Absolute nonsense by the Koreans.
@Patrick It was due to the restriction policy from the South Korean government and since the restrictions are finally ended, we can now aboard the flight with no masks..
@@kfx3907 The government will never admit that they were wrong. They had the longest mandate in the world. It was completely pointless.

@@migooknamja Really? thats the best insult you could come up with?
Sam paying his respects for the queen of the skies. The plane that first flew 52 years ago. I am from Seattle and have only flew on one 747 in 1977. You're very fortunate Sam.
I have flown many 747s but never been to Seattle! Would love to visit though, although I’d bet the weather isn’t much better than where I live haha (Jämtland).
Thank you. I was waiting for this ride for quite some time and have to make out of my way from the West coast to Atlanta to get on the 747. Indeed, I feel fortunate.
@@SamChui you do a great job Sam. You have incredible access..keep them coming.
Me, only one 747 flight so far, but it was 10 years ago now on a KLM 747-406M.
@@julosx my lone trip was in 1977. SEA-LA...
My first ever business class experience was flying on Air Korea in 2019... Brisbane to Seoul and Seoul to JFK, B777 and A380. Korean Air really was amazing services and the food was amazing, quantity and quality so much food. Only thing that lacked was their entertainment, was lack of content though. But still enough to entertain me for 24hrs in a plane.
I think Korean Air is pretty nice especially their beautiful cabin attendant but want them have in-flight wifi system asap.
Wow, thats so lovely. The flight attendant introducing the food to Sam and preparing it in front of him. I was smiling the whole time.
I havent been on a plane in over 15 years, I have aerophobia, but because of you and your videos, Im flying next month. Thank You so much for impacting my life!
How did your flight go?
@@african_chris it went real smooth. Got lucky on the weather, sunny and clear skies. Little turbulence but nothing crazy. Thanks for asking, hope all is well with you!
@@dinomagnifico7076 Glad it went well. It only gets better man, hope you can keep flying and one day overcome your phobia :)
@@fakeshrew Thank You, I really appreciate that. Wishing you the best man!
@@dinomagnifico7076 Yup no problem, you too!
Among the best service in the skies ✈️ Grateful to Korean Air for allowing Sam to record and share this experience with us!!
Why did he touch other people foods with out gloves. Just nasty bro
Korean Air never disappoints. Best service and friendly staff
Korean air flight attendants are so elegant, classy, professional.
I’ve been watching Korean’s ATL-ICN route ever since Korean replaced their once per day SFO-ICN 747-8 with two daily 777-300s. SFO was the first route served when Korean introduced their 747-8 service and I had the great opportunity to take it once. Even a follow on leg on another 747-8 to HKG. Simply the best and most beautiful commercial aircraft ever built!
Korean Air is always a delightful flight. Planes are spotless and the Korean flight attendants effortlessly make one feel welcome, regardless of the class of service.
They are the mask police. The entire country is double jabbed and their heads explode if your mask drops below your nose...it's nonstop harassment actually. Wear your diaper at all times, just like communist china
Flight attendants were complete sweethearts! Loved the video!
Sam, that indeed was first class. I love the polite crew members who all have pride, respect, honesty, charm, poise and respect. What a great group to fly with. WOW!
As I've said before, nobody does service and hospitality like the East Asian airlines, they are absolutely phenomenal at it.
All cabin crews in this video are so beautiful and friendly!! They seems to serve the wonderful professional work to make all passengers feel comfortable even in a night time. Not just their great work, their services also look really attractive! That Bibimbap meal is what I want to try someday.
This cool video makes me feel more to take Korean Airlines!!!
The cabin crews are a sweetheart ❤️❤️❤️❤️🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵
17:49 What a beautiful machine. Nice to see the inside of a new 747-8 the windows on the upper deck at the top of the staircase look amazing.
Korean Air is the only airline in the world who is a major component supplier to both Boeing and Airbus.
Back in the day they used to make parts for the 747-400.
🇰🇷 👍
Yes indeed, I learnt that Korean Air is the only airline who supplies part to Boeing and Airbus.
Haha, i used to be so confused when i landed at my tiny hometown Gimhae airport in Busan and see 2 747s just sitting there. I learned 10 years later that was there used to supply parts
i flew korean air numerous times. what i like are the service, food and the cleaniness.
Probably the world 🌏 best cabin crews 👩🏻💼🥂💺✈️ ❤
You pay for what you get. Korean Air, a little pricy but the best cabin crew in the industry.
Back in 2015 i first flew on Korean Air. From that time if there’s option for Korean air I always choose them over other airlines. My most favorite one
OMG, sometimes you forget, the 747-8 is absolutely beautiful !
I love Korean, professionalism at the top.
747-8 engines aren't just "similar" to the dreamliner.
It IS the same one from the Dreamliner.
The GEnx. Directly from 787. With just a bit of thrust adjustment.
It is truly the fusion of 787 and 747.
It's my favorite 747 model.
it is the same but not really, the ones on the 747 is smaller and "weaker" than the ones on the 787.
747-8 = GENx-2B67
787 = GENx-1B
@@ffllcchh sure GEnx 1B is bit more big diameter than GEnx 2B
same ? no similar yes , the genx-2b has a smaller fan and it has one less LP compressor and turbine stage , what i noticed on the genx-2b is that maintenance is a little bit more annoying because the added bleed pipes blocks a lot of things, i was trying to do a ignighter plug and it's behind all the pipes !!!😭
One of the few passenger 747's left, truly the queen of the skies.
in 2011 i took my second korean air trip .went from SEOUL to JFK and was lucky to be bumped up to first class.since then i been to korea multiple times and never will fly another airline there again. service ,entertainment and food is impeccable .
What an experience, I love the fact that the Korean Flight Attendance was so realistically kind, always smiling, and they were so polite in general. One of my biggest concerns about eating unfamiliar other nations' dishes is that I do not know how to eat those foods properly as the native people based on the origin of the foods, and I actually got happy when I saw that kind professional flight attendant was helping you to instruct you how to eat their Korean food properly as it should be. Wow! Good Job Koean Airline.
Very nice! I envy you so much with your travels and above all being on a 747! Love that KLM, sorry, Korean Air hospitality too. Thanks Sam!
What a beautiful airplane the 747 is , and looks like Korean Air keeps it very clean , with a great service.
Thanks to videos like this, I can get to see some things I most likely won't ever experience in real life, like travelling first class. I particularly like the touchdown scene... either you have the best camera stabilization out there, or that was the smoothest touch down I've ever seen!
Sam you always command such great service from airline crews. You have such excellent communication skills. Something a lot of people could learn. 10/10
Hats off to Lufthansa and Korean air for using the 747 after it has been discontinued
Great video, Sam! I am a big fan of Korean Air. I get very nostalgic. I first took them in 1990 when i was age 19, from Honolulu to Osaka via Seoul (DC-10 out of HNL!) Then again in 1992. Then IAD-ICN-DPS in 2015 and finally in 2017 on the A380 in business class from JFK. One thing that really amazes me....their website still shows my 1992 flights in the Skypass account history! I love the good vibes on Korean Air and can't wait to take them again.
Meanwhile, I'll be flying with Ryanair next week just dreaming of this kind of quality 😂
Long live Korean Air
내가 5월에 타고갈 뱅기네 역시 자랑스러워 울 국적기 대한항공 🇰🇷
Korean air 747 to JFK is one of my favourites,I remember they played Sinatra before touch down. Really gets you into the mood.
👆👆👆👆
Congratulation inbox let's talk i got something for you Dude📦!!
Sam I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos truly feel like I'm there with you sometimes.
I have experience fly with 747 when I travel to Korea from Malaysia.. the cabin crew was very good and the service as well.. good job Korean Air ❤❤❤
Always love Sam's content. Well done.
I still remember Korean Air in 2012 Economy class had really great Bibimbap, I'm glad they still do so
Korean Air crew is the best.. i'm European..so i flew just few times with them.. but they are always so perfect!
What a way to enjoy a 747 on its final stage. The girls from the crew are so kind and lovely.
Korean Air's 747-8 is a wonderful heritage of aviation history👍 I hope to take it soon!
My respect to all crew here watching them working it must be tough the airplane is moving and how many passengers they serve ...thank you Sam for showing this ....
Mark Lee saying: enjoy your flight!
Coool
I forgot I had first-class experience with Korean Airlines almost 30 years ago. It was a morning flight from Seoul to Osaka, and the meal was amazing.
The best and so relaxing vlog after a long time ❤
Keep it up, Sam ✈️✌🏻
iskay vlogs majedar hoty hain others k mukablay
I loved this! Brought back memories of traveling to Korea for the first time, to teach English at a kindergarten in the early 2000's. I remember having the Bibimbap on board for the first time and not knowing that I needed to mix it all together with the Gochujang 😂. Great airline Korean Airlines and Great country to live in. Gotta go back one day and hopefully catch up with my former students. ❤✈🇰🇷
Dude...even though 1st class is incredibly expensive (but hey there are ways to get around that!!) This flight alone i feel was completely worth it just for the flight crew and the cabin attendants. What a service and so good people to have on the flight. I must say after watching probably 100's of flight videos if not 1000's i feel this crew just made the whole flight worth taking. Anyone who works on an airplane EVERY day on their shift needs to be in the spotlight for all the hard work they do to make their passengers feel at home in every way and pampered. For once in a video i did not focus on the suite or anything in the airplane itself more on the service and the hospitality of korean air wich was supreme.
3:12 Great to see they still have Mark Lee's "Enjoy Your Flight" welcoming message ... #SuperM #EXO #SHINee #NCT
The experience seemed lovely
Totally agree Sam, that the journey is more important than the destination. This became very apparent to me during the days of the main line ocean liner, (not cruises) I did many of these in the sixties and 70's mainly because air travel was way too expensive and I had plenty of time to get there. Thanks for your channel .. wow I love the look of the food.
Excellent observation. Such an awesome time traveling in that fashion back then
I flew Korean Air many times. Trust me, KE flight attendants are never that friendly. Not saying that they aren’t good at their job this just feels like they were being super friendly and over the top with their service just for the camera. Usually Asiana has more consistent and genuinely polite , helpful services onboard.
korean Food casually being one of the healthiest out there
I've seen that plane fly over my house a few times when it flies the PENCL2 departure off the west flow (i.e. flying towards Cartersville from Atlanta). From the ground in Kennesaw, most of the planes look like blips with wings, but when that one flew over, it was graceful, distinctive and looked like it was in charge!
same in marietta you can hear it from inside the home and you’ll know when it’s korean air!
I was fortunate enough to fly Korean Air 2019 before covid from Seoul to Brisbane and i was impress with the service and food was amazing even in economy compared with other airlines, I’d like to experience to travel in first class to go visit Korea again, first in my bucket list. This is a great vlog Sam, thanks
Quite amazed at the space on this plane. Well presented Sam! Korean Air seems to take care of their clients very well.
Glad to see some 747s still flying. The plane that shrunk the world. I was lucky enough to fly on a lot of them.
Atlanta Hartsfield Jackson, busiest Airport in the world. Great video, as usual Sam 👍
Love your video!! Nobody can replace beauty of 747.... Hope Korean air keep these queens more years.
I just flew by Korean air 787 business class from Seoul to Boston, it was amazing!
Apparently they will retire them by 2031, so we still have some years to enjoy them.
Just love Korean Air ❤. They have the best service, best food, clean and then some 😍
I flew korean air around 8-10 years ago and it was the best experience I ever had in economy
My dream is to be able to fly the B 747 and this is a very special experience for pilots around the world, I hope that one day there will still be an opportunity for that, thank you Sam...
Thanks SAM! I always have wondered how KAL does inflight service... looks exceptional! Proud to be an AVgeek!
Korean air is the best service that I love it! Usually when I buy a ticket to international travel I buy Korean airlines
That was fantastic! Thanks Sam for that experience, it makes us excited to book them in the future, hopefully First class, but Biz class upper deck looked awesome! Long live the 747!!!
“The journey to get to the destination is more important than the destination itself” well said Mr. Sam
Amazing.. Aircraft nice flight lovely crew.
Sleeping / Lounging right under the Pilot's Cockpit - Wow. Sam can get a glimpse view forward as the 747 flies it's route to Korea
What a great guy Sam is. The KA 747 is so lovely. She truly is the Queen of the Sky. The crew were so nice. Great ambassadors for the brand.
Hi Sam.... My most luxurious flight so far is KL- Seoul flight on Korean Business Class. Good enough for me... The 1st class looks amazing
One of your best trip reports Sam! Keep 'em coming 😀
I flew on a KAL 747-8 in 2016 SFO-INC in business class - awesome ride and the food and service were the best. Watching Sam eat made me very hungry for Korean food!
Lovely cabin crew with nice air craft. That is world best airline no doubt!!
Korean Air is the best! Would love to take this flight. Thanks Sam.
always more pleasanting to see sam's airline video compared to others in youtube 👍👍👍
sam I flew almost 5 times in this airline category B747-8 on different airlines, It was absolutely a great experience when I was flying this airline, its really really an amazing experience
You are awesome. Thanks for remaining humble, genuine, and providing great content.
Whenever I compare Asian airlines vs Western airlines it's the Asian hospitality that makes a big difference in inflight service. Korean Air is one of my favourite airlines to fly with.
Hey Sam, glad to see that you had a chance to experience the KE 747-8 first class. It's one of my fav first class which offers top notch service with great selection of food but like you said it lacks the wifi which is a bit disappointing. Please try out the new LCC that flies from ICN-LAX. It's called Air Premia.
A cool flight, with great food and service all in the Queen of the skies. What's not to love. Thanks for sharing, Sam. From the UK
The cabin crew is so friendly she's like a long lost relative who's genuinely happy to meet and talk 😊
What a fantastic flight and an amazing video.
Very nice flight. Good service by Korean Airlines.
Great video once again Sam, Love seeing all these old planes being kept alive.
Bi bim bap in economy?? Korea for the win! So cool, man. Cheers from NYC 🥂
The privacy of that First cabin is superb. Big fan of Korean Air's livery (and bibimbap!) :)

Korean Air cabin crew are the best in the world.
You can tell the crew was having fun with Sam! He just wants to learn and understand rather than take advantage or act superior. They were having so much fun introducing new things to him! I've worked in hospitality and there's nothing more delightful than humble and enthusiastic patrons!
미모와 지성 그리고 친절까지 갖추신 대한항공 승무원들이 인상적이네요~^^
Thank you Sam for another great showcase of the most beautiful commercial aircraft ever built! I absolutely love the 747!!! The A380 is second in line😊 The nose cabin is spectacular and I love the cabin in this section! I appreciate you sharing your trip once again and as always, be well, be safe and Cheers!!
I flew Korean Air recently on their 787 in both economy and business class. I love that they notify me through their app when my bags are loaded onto the plane on every leg, gave me peace of mind. Their economy seats have a generous recline angle and ample leg room. Business class seats however is lacking storage, tabletop space, and bedding. Food is good in both classes.
