Far East Asia has more Boeing 747s than any of the other continents. Why is the Boeing 747 so popular in Asia? In this video I share some of the finest B747 flying experiences from Asia; from the First Class private suite to the rear of the Economy Class cabin, it covers all aspects of the 747 journey.
Cathay Pacific, Singapore Airlines, Thai Airways, Japan Airlines, All Nippon Airways, Korean Air, Asiana, Philippines Airlines, Malaysia Airlines and Gaurda Indonesia 747s are all featured. I am sharing never before seen and rare footage of these 747 voyages; I hope you will enjoy the journey together with me.
The 747 era may have gone, but the memory and legacy will last forever.
My eye's teared up seeing the Malaysia Airlines B747. As a passenger and an aircraft engineer whom flew and worked on them..indeed @SamChui it was a awesome privilege .
MH sate is the best and delicious 🤤🤤🤤🇲🇾

@@belkanairforce7747 MPJ , MPD and MPB was special B747-4H6 and MRD was the B777-2H6 IGW ER.
I moved to the US with my parents in 1974 and flew on an Iberia 747, to this day the 747 is still my favorite airplane, sad to see them all retire.
To think Iberia has only A330s left. And they're not even from the latest generation.
@@julosx no they dont only have 330s
@@julosx Iberia also have the a350 and the a320
Correct your information
13:38 As an aside, Korean Air operates the 747-8i HL7644, the world's last produced passenger type 747.
indeed, hope she flies strong for many more years.
@@SamChui I hope the 747 has been flying for a long time so that many people will remember it.
Currently, the Korean government is operating the Korean Air Force One 747-400 by leasing it from Korean Air. However, since this aircraft was old, replacement was discussed, and the 747-8i was decided as the next-generation Korean Air Force One. I don't know exactly what register number it will be, but the solid thing is that one of Korean Air's 747-8i will be modified and used. Seeing that the incumbent aircraft has been used for 25 years, the new aircraft will also be used for a long time. Also, for reasons such as maintenance of Air Force One in Korea, Korean Air is expected to operate the same series of aircraft for a long time.
Korean Air will be claiming the Asiana's remaining 747 since they had acquired it already. In other words, Asiana will be merged with Korean Air
Lufthansa hase also a 747-8i .
@@emmanuelmeysman820 Yeah. That`s right. but HL7644 is last 747 passenger type.
Love to see Philippine Airlines as first 747 on the Vid 👍
Yes
I remember my fist time flying alone was on a Singapore Airlines 747 from New York to Amsterdam and then onto Singapore. It was such a special experience.
oooh
that's awesome!
@@SamChui Hi Sam Chui how are you I am Zack I really want want to see you play the AMONG US gsme and can you do a Christmas Day video pls
Truly miss the 747. My first 747 was with PAL on their 747-200 to Hong Kong followed by US Flight to LAX via HNL. The last one was with Asiana from ICN-MNL. 747 is really the queen and the best air transportation ever made.
The pal 747s where amazing
I always cry watching "The end of an era" videos... Thanks for showing our National Flag Carrier first in this tribute. I remember a Philippine Airlines video landing at LAX with a punctured tires safely. And it was shown live! ❤👑⛅✈
Miss Singapore airline 747-400, it is indeed the queen of the skies and will never be forgotten
747, such a great aircraft. Sadly most airline retire it
yes
RIP TO:
British Airways B747
KLM B747
CAUSE OF DEATH: COVID 19
Just A380
hope the 747-8’s have a great long future ahead of them.
@Master Islam They are too old to be flown now
my last philippine airlines was 2013 from lax direct to manila 16hrs flight i think....i was surprise the food very good the crew very nice it was amazing fight
*this helps my sanity during lockdown*
I’m a huge fan of you bro! I love your attitude, your personality, and your voice! Your heart is pure! Thank you for taking the time to make these videos for us!
As a child, I’ll never forget seeing PanAm and TWA 747s at the airport. Both aircraft were so iconic and could only imagine where their next flight was bound to.
So many Islands and beautiful places here in the Philippines Mabuhay! 🇵🇭 ❤️
Lol
yeah your right i hope sam will watch the pal b747 farewell
I love to see that almost all airlines that were mentioned by sam chui was coming from southeast asia...🇲🇾🇮🇩🇵🇭🇸🇬🇹🇭
Love your video notifications Sam.. It makes my day 😊😍🙏
thanks to covid, my 4 scheduled flights on the 747 are now gone. looks like ill never get to relive my childhood. rest in peace forever my queen.
I remember when I was 5 I once flew with the Philippine Airlines 747-400 what a memorable flight and at the end of the flight I get to see the cockpit and take pictures with the captain and first officer
This is such a great video of my favorite airliner ever! Have only flown on Lufthansa 747-200, 747-400 (several times), Air Namibia 747-400 and Thai 747-400 and hope that we will see this airliner in the skies as long as possible. And, one of my favorite experiences: Visited the first ever built B747 "City of Everett" in Seattle.
She is, and will remain forever..."The Queen of the Skies"
Nah, A380 is way better.
Elephants For Life both of them are great! But the 747 changed commercial air travel 180 degrees! The *747* is and will always be the queen 👑
I also love the A380! It’s a great aircraft! But it didn’t change a thing that will decrease costs or things like that, it only broke the world record in the (worlds largest commercial airliner)! Greetings from Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
*747* ❤️ *A380*
True, I am super sad cuz I never got the chance to be on the Queen of the Skies , I always admired it but now seeing it retired make me more sad, but to me it's okay because we still have the A380, but the A380 also will be retirering 🥺😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😅
@@elemperor7791 A380 looks fat

Mabuhay ❤ from Philippines 🇵🇭🇵🇭
As an Korean who loves B747 , I really like this video. Thank you so much Sam :)
I miss travelling too. I can't wait to be able to fly again, trying all the airlines that I love, collecting inflight magazines and making a vlog as well =D Sam's channel is so much like a therapy for all aviation geeks. Watching your videos at this time is truly a moment of reminiscence how flying was before the pandemic. Stay safe and healthy always Mr Sam.
Brilliant video, Sam. Thanks for keeping us all going during 2020, as we wait to fly again.
I just saw malaysia airlines tail on your front video,I just you can make a review of Malaysia airlines a380 after the pandemic
My 1st time flying in a widebody jet was in a Philippine Airlines B747 going to SFO when I was 8 years old. It also brought me to love aviation💗
FIRST
@Sam Chui Every of your videos are really insightful! Always looking forward to your latest videos!
Thanks for this video Sam! Your Aviation videos are always a pleasure to watch! Greetings from Copenhagen, Denmark - Maxi and Maro :-D
Queen of the Skies! I miss the great 747. Back in 1986, I flew to my native country of Sweden on a Trans World Airlines Boeing 747. NOSTALGIA!! I flew on the 747 several times. On one of the flights, me and my dad were invited up to the cockpit on a Scandinavian Airlines 747 which the airline has long since retired. It was great for a 9 year old to see the cockpit and talk to the pilots!! I’m 48 now. I love your channel!
Thanks Alot for the precious memories.
This video made me tear up, no aircraft will ever replace the 747 as Queen of the Skies.
First trip on a 747 was with Thai from Stockholm to Bangkok. What an amazing sight it was to see it being towed to the gate. It was an older style just like the one you see in the video at 1:36 but what an amazing flight it was. My second time on a 747 was my connecting flight from Bangkok to Phuket...
Great video Sam. One of your best!
Thanks. Sam. My crush on 747 started with the love at first sight when seeing my uncle off from Taipei to US on a PanAm 747SP. When I grew up, almost all of my cross Pacific flights were on 747. I love the stability and the safety. I often woke up during the flight, looking at the engines, and said "Thank you, Engine". It is the most beautiful aircraft, ever.
Fantastic tribute Sam! Really enjoyed it, but oh so emotional...
Love your content ❤️ YOU HAVE INspired me to collect model planes THANK YOU
I have hope that Thai Airways 747 will return as some younger jets aren’t scrapped 🙏🙏
Great Video. Thank you for posting.
고생하셨습니다.
좋은 정보 감사합니다
Hi Sam, just discovered your videos and newsletter a couple of weeks ago and have already watched dozens…LOVE them! Question: you’ve mentioned recording flights and memories in your “log book.” Just wondering what kind or which log book you use? Thanks so much! Mike
747s are beautiful! Thanks Sam!
It is good to see you back again Sam. Quiet remember my first flight with B747. Thank you.
Sam, you are my inspiration. I miss travel, too. I wish this pandemic ends soooon. Take care Sam and I always look forward to your videos and keep on watching your videos to feel the joy of travel. Lovelots, Sam. 😊😊😊❤️
I'm not first
I'm not last
When I see the notification
I click lightening fast😅
Nice
Sam another fantastic vlog
I legit teared up at the end seeing that 747 take off
Love the Asian 747. I got to fly on Asiana 747-400 HL7423 and Thai 747-400 HS-TGB. Such memorable experiences thank you for sharing them Sam.
Nice video Sam, as always! May I ask what song that is playing in the beginning?
My first long haul flight was on a Malaysia Airlines 747-400 from Kuala Lumpur to London & its was memorable flight with amazing onboard service.
Thanks for the nice video Sam! It is sad to see airlines retiring these phenomenal birds but I am glad some airlines still use them and hope that the 747-800 will continue the legend.
Great retrospective.
I fell in love with aviation because of the "Queen"- 747. I remember my first 747 flight from Manila to Taipei with EVA Air. It was amazing. Love your content Sam. HIGH FLY to aviation industry!
recently saw your posts and stories for the British Airways Boeing 747, waiting for the video (hoping you would post it) The Asia's finest 747s! ah a great video! I have seen many airlines in Thailand operate the 747s, Orient Thai are one of them! But yeah they ceased operations!
I love how you turned all the seats down 13:48 because it shows your delight just like a kid in a playground.
Sam you have experienced a lot of journey and you have so many stories to tell, you're better than a pilot in this sense..grande!!
I love sharing my experience especially when these planes are now retired. Someone need to tell the stories.
Nice tribute and memorabilia of the 747✈️... I was lucky to see ex Malaysia 9M-MPJ the other day, still active as TF-AAD doing PPE runs between Xiamen and Doncaster.
This made me tear up so much.
Thx so much
Nice flight report, Sam.
Thank you Sam. Thank you for the video. I love 747 series. 747 still the favourite plane I ever want to fly. Just love it. Thanks!😊😊👍👍👍
I got to fly on BA's 747 in the Summer of 2018 from London to Phoenix. That was the best flight of my life. I feel blessed to have been given the chance to fly on the aircraft of my dreams before it was unfortunately retired. Long live the Queen!
My 1st flight ever was on a Boeing 747 to Mauritius from France, that flight is always in my heart 34 yrs after
Thank you for reviewing Asiana airline which will be merged by Korean air shortly. I really enjoyed watching your video!
A nice video Mr. Chui. With the B747 I had the chance to discover the world. My last flight with a B747 was with Thai from Phuket to Bangkok. Unfortunately this era is coming to an end.
Great video
A bittersweet end, the start of a new era. As a Singaporean, I felt some pride while watching this video - well done Sam!
Hey Sam , I saw so many 747s in Hong Kong like you as a kid, all the Cathay planes flying over the city. Childhood memories...
Your video recall me my experience on EVA's 747. It's awesome, and I didn't know that would be the first and only time I fly on their 747
Wonderful video Sam .. Loved the video much... Actually the words you expressed very immensely good..And now also Air India operates some B747-400 to destinations like Jeddah ...Loved the video much ❤️❤️
“China Airlines is from Taiwan. They crashed a few 747s”. That’s one hell of an intro, Sam
Sam, your videos are one of a kind..always unique and brings our curiosity and happiness levels high..keep up your fantastic coverage
I once flew to Paris with Malaysia Airlines B747-400 back in 2005. It was the most memorable moment for me since my late father was a lead FA and gave a welcoming announcement before took off to Paris. The food was absolutely wonderful, the service was infinity star, and the journey was fun. Looking forward to fly with Malaysia airlines soon!
Hey Sam. Thanks for the video. It brings back memories for me.
Back in the early 90s I flew on a British Airways 747 from London Heathrow into Kai Tak. I’ll never forget that approach. Truly amazing.
Later took a Thai 747 from Phuket to Bangkok.
I loved the service on board with British Airways but the legroom was poor and I was so disappointed I was in such a big aeroplane with so little space.
The Thai 747 had less seats in it and much more legroom, that was how it should’ve been. I really enjoyed flying on that.
Looking back now, I feel so privileged to have been able to fly in to the old unique Kai Tak in Hong Kong on The Queen of the skies.
Woowww this is so cool u inspire me to FLY
That was a nice tribute mate
I love the 747! Only been on it once on pacific air (now air Fiji)
Hello Sam I’m 15 years old I discovered ur channel 2 years ago since then my passion became aviation as well the 747 is something more than an aircraft we love the 747 and I’m so sad that their not flying as you said it’s an end of an era I really wish she can fly forever and she is the pioneer of aviation I saw ur stories and I felt sad that she landed for the last time and the only 747 operator that’s keeps the queen is Lufthansa Which you flew just now and I hope they fly her for a long time and Asia as well to show the world her excellent engineering and her beautiful design ✈️✈️✈️✈️🛫🛫🛫🛫
Good video san
Ah, Sam, some parts of this nearly brought tears to my eyes. When I really started flying heavily overseas, my flights were almost always 747-400, I have some really fond memories of that plane and where it took me.... and how my life changed because of where it took me.
I did get a good laugh though at around 9m50s, you are talking about how you hope Thai will do a farewell flight with a 744... taking off over
Suvarnabhumi Airport. I think that's an airport that NO ONE loves. It must have the longest single terminal in the world. I can't count the number of times I have had ridiculously long walks to my gate there.
Flew twice on a Boeing 747 Malaysia Airlines.. indeed it was a great experience!! Loved the upper deck
I remembered I was 6 and I flew the Qantas 747 400 from Hong Kong to Sydney. Love it !
Wow thats awesone
The Philippine Airlines B747 was my first aircraft to fly internationally (Manila-Singapore-Manila) in 2003. No individual IFE screens but music was available. Movies were shown in a projector. Not sure if the cabin was upgraded before retirement.
Wow great to see
Wow after a long time
(12:44) - LOL, the safety bear. **BONK!!** 😂😂😂😂
B-747 is really an awesome aircraft it will always remain in our hearts as the flying queen
thank you so much for this video you are the best
I still remember flying Air India 747. Was quite an experience.
You make best videos keep it love from india to Sam and Boeing 747
Hard to believe that they are not flying , enjoy the cargo versions while we can ! Amazing aircraft 🤩
Love for 747❤️
EVA Premium Economy 747 was my childhood memory! At the times when Taipei-New York still requires a stopover in Anchorage or Seattle!
My father flew.747’s as a Captain for CX, SQ, CV and AF - I was fortunate to fly with him many times in First and also be allowed to sit on the flight deck for landing and take off - later I flew first many times for work on 747’s. I also flew in the left hand seat a couple of times in the simulator with him and managed with two engines out to land surviveably with no casualties on 13 at Kai Tak so dad could practice emergencies and engine out/fire situations etc
I think it was very close but Cathay just shaded SQ with a slightly better First Class product particularly on long haul routes
Will miss these lovely aircraft so much
Well done Sam, I am crying too, I still can’t believe they are really stopping flying them 😥
Love it.FOR EVER QUEEN OF SKIES.from my child hood to adult i saw so many 747 in skies bep she is special.
All the seats were classic and it was just my memories
Hello thanks for your awesome vidéos Sam! I am 42 year old so I love this aircraft too!
Cooool videos
The 747 has become my favorite plane even though I have never ridden on one. I ordered your air 747 book,so it should arrive at my house this week
PAL 747’s are beautiful, sadly I didnt get to fly in them.
I remember back when Subang was Kuala Lumpur’s airport, I lived in sight of the approach path and saw the daily SIA 747 flight every evening
Love it. My first 747 experience was with Air India from Frankfurt to LAX. Great memories.
You can still do this trip but with Lufthansa this time (747-830).
