Short-haul flights don’t need to be comfortable, they need to be efficient and on-time. However, every once in a while an airline shows that doesn’t have to be the case, they can be both!

Flawless video
Excellent video as always David! I believe Bangkok also has that set up with Don Muang & Suvbrahami. (Def didn’t spell that right)
Nicely done mate 👍
Greetings from 🥶 Helsinki ❄️
Dear David, could you please make short video about how I can subcribe and support your Simply Aviation channel? Cause I still did not figure it out! 🤷🏼♂️😂 I would love to be one of your supporters as the Brutally Honest reviews are my favorite ones🎉
Thanks for sharing, it is very useful info.
2:52 I have been to Seoul's Gimpo and Incheon airport when I was a baby and kid and Bangkok's Don Mueang and Suvarnabhumi last May and 4 airports, 2 in Seoul and Bangkok are nice and cool.
Jakarta 1.Soekarno-Hatta International Airport ( west side )
2.Halim Perdanakusuma Airport ( east side )
Kuala Lumpur 1.KLIA
2.Subang Airport
David, a joy to wach your progression as fluent multi lingual story teller, aviation enthusiast, Vlogger and very perceptive narrator. Thanks mate well done !
Kuala Lumpur is another example I can think of
Tehran IKA
Tehran Mehrabad
As usual I really love the quality of these videos and all the interesting tidbits he shares about the Airlines and the airports and the cultures. MUCH more interesting than other Aviation YouTubers, whose videos are not as informative and are more about them complaining, obsessing over personal anecdotes, or just the trouble they keep getting themselves into. Well done!
Manila will soon have this two airport system, one being the current Ninoy Aquino International Airport and the under construction New Manila International Airport to the north, connected via a high-speed rail
In my opinion, one of the best airlines in the world is the Nepal's Buddha Air. It's one of the underatted airlines of the world. The staff is very friendly towards the passengers. The flights are always on time. Though sometimes get delayed due to Kathmandu's Tribhuvan Airport Traffic. Buddha Air is a small airline but if it got support then it would be best. You are supposed to carry 20 kg luggage and 7 kg handbag. Also, airline is generous towards the students.
SA: New airports being built and the Old Airport is being demoted to regional services and selected international routes.
Beijing (Capital): Really? Did not get the memo though…..
São Paulo in Brasil has the same “set up” ir airports, with a smaller, older airport near the city center (Congonhas) catering to short and medium haul national flights and Guarulhos being the big airport with 3 terminals and plenty of international, longer flights!
Had the privilege to fly on their A380 in October 2023. Asiana is an absolutely incredible airline, better than the gulf carriers in terms of character and personality. Hard product is unmatched, the crew is always going the extra mile, their hub is amazing and they are in their right alliance. Love Asiana ❤️
In Brazil there is the same 2-airport division in São Paulo (Congonhas / Guarulhos) and Rio de Janeiro (Santos Dumont / Galeão). It's the same game: mostly domestic flights in Congonhas and Santos Dumont, while Guarulhos and Galeão deal with international ones. In my state of Minas Gerais, the capital Belo Horizonte also has two airports: Pampulha and Confins, even though Pampulha doesn't receive commercial flights anymore, by a political decision.
2:51 Indonesia: Soekarno-Hatta airport and Halim Perdanakusuma Airport
KL and SG are two more cities for your list of cities with a big long-haul and a smaller short-haul airport! Both have international flights (including to each other) at their smaller airports, but intercontinental flights exclusively leave from their larger counterparts outside of the city.
Really nice!
I had the pleasure of flying Asiana earlier this year from Osaka Kansai to Paris CDG via ICN. The KIX-ICN leg was operated on a 777 on the way there, and on an A321 on the way back. I'm looking forward to your review on the A350, as it is the same aircraft type operated on the ICN-CDG leg.
I have some news for you! Philippine Airlines signs MOU for 9 A350-1000 aircrafts. If you don’t believe me, search in YouTube of “Philippine Airlines signs MOU for 9 A350-1000 aircrafts” on the channel named “Simple Flying”
Lovely review of Asiana! Will you be doing a Q&A soon and when will your website be launched?
Did you guys get the opportunity to review flights of Ryanair lately?
I think Bangkok is slightly different method used, low cost use don mung and full service use the new one (but funnily enough some low cost use the new one), rather than purely short and long haul ones.
Thank you for showing us some beautiful sceneries of Japan. Many of us are not opportuned to travel out to foreign countries as much as we would love to, so this is a well appreciated addition to your great avaition channel. Pls keep it up if you can 😊.
The same airport set up is LGA and JFK, DCA and IAD, OAK and SFO
Houston hobby and Houston George bush
Thank you for posting high quality videos on airlines! i just took a 10-hour Qantas flight to Australia and after seeing your review on Qantas i had very high expectations and it was overall good! ( keep up the good work!)
China airlines and Asiana are so underrated
I like your pronunciation tbh
