This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that’s the way I like it!

I think I have a guess as to why you might feel like the sunrises or sunsets along East Asia are crisper, lack of air pollution to the East. The Pacific has far better air quality than any other place
last week you entered the uluwatu jumeirah in bali at the end of the video and again?
Nice video as always. 🎉
I Havent Experience AIR PREMIA Yet I have Experinence The Similar Product On Norwegian For Some Years Back.Great Trip Report
wow. din't know there are 52 flights flying between Seoul and Vietnam 😮
Thank you once again for an informative video with nice content! Cheers 🎉
The video is very detailed. I was wondering how long did it take you to edit it.
Nice a little touch of airport review is included
Btw Air Premia will definitely have more route once Korean air/Asiana merge finalized, especially because of antitrust purpose of each route. I am curious to find out their current LAX and EWR route because I have heard so many good thing about it.
Nice and speaking of the JL B787-8 next to your AIr Premia B787-9 it will do SGN Tan Son Nhut AIr base to NRT then rest there eventually fly to BOS JL7/8 JL65 NRT-SAN NH B787 also to NRT. Both JL & NH B787-8s have Oneworld AA Advantage members milage run while ANA B787-8 might have a UA milage plus member. flag carrier VN is partners with DL. UA needs to compete with YP on EWR-ICN since DL/KE JV dominate JFK-ICN. You could have tuned into K-pop here if YP planes are equipped to play them only KE/OZ planes are equipped with Kdrama K-pop
I was in Korea a few weeks ago and did not notice them then or when looking far a flight. But looks good. Thank you 🙏👍🙂
Loving your channel!
Your channel just gets better and better Kevin! 🩴 🩴
Thank You ✈️
Review Philippine Airlines next please
Thank you for your review. I just knew that air premia fly BKK as well. Really like your review style.
I'm in awe of the scope of your current trip. I tend to run out of socks after a week – so that's my limit.
Not sure about a salad with breakfast but I'll support your frittata petition.
Good review.
Very interesting video, and outstanding quality. I have two questions though: 1. What is the +1 bonus in the fees and food category, is that then 19 or 17 to 18 and why? 2. I have never seen you mention IFE selection and add points or take away points for it, except today it seems. Why's that?
Hi Kevin! I like your vids. 😊
Nice to see your review of Air Premia. Thanks Kevin!
Jimbaran something in Bali ??
Great review
Love your genuine style of execution
Awesome video! Will you be going back to India anytime soon?
Bali Fiji or
Jeju
Jimbaran something Bali??
What editing software & camera do you use?
Hi Kevin, great review as usual! Out of interest what’s the name and artist of the song in the video? Looking forward to the next one!
Jumeirah Uluwatu Bali
I enjoy every one of your videos
"You're going to go to Korea, and you're going to watch a Korean movie whether you like it or not" 🤣🤣
The airport certainly was chaotic at that time of night! It's interesting to see how Asia heavy the departures are, other than Melbourne, Frankfurt and Dubai all other flights loooked Asia bound. Random question: How long before the flight did you arrive if you knew it was going to be hectic? I wouldn't have even noticed the seat colour as l also had never heard of this airline. Perhaps Air Premia might like to use that yellow advertising space in the jet bridge. The orange and blue would make a welcome change. I hope the airline succeeds. It looks like a decent product 👍
Always like learning about new airlines as the travel market is undergoing huge changes. Hope that airfares for long haul do come down as at the moment these are really expensive in all classes.
