Korean Air's A380 has one of the lowest-density configurations and a super interesting backstory imo, need to revisit this whole bigger story some day soon.

NRT = Not Really Tokyo because it's so far from the city

You are the best aviation YouTuber ever. You aren’t arrogant or corrupt like others. Your vids are extremely well researched and are professionally edited and written.
Your vids are a delight and I always look for them. I’m smarter thanks to you

As a 6'3" person with long legs, I gotta say I appreciate the Korean Air CEO's approach to testing Economy seats. Standard 30-31" economy is hell for me. I had bruised and sore knees for weeks after a rough landing in United economy at my local airport.

Such an interesting investigative yet fun piece, Simon.

Awww that was nice of you to take a picture for that guy! I flew ICN-JFK on Korean’s A380 in economy. It did feel a little dated but I love their food and leg room.

The days of korean air being "generous" with economy seats are over. They literally attempted to densify their 777s, but had to pause retrofit plans following public controversy

flew korean air australia to korea this year, 10 hours in economy at 6'5" and it was super comfortable. 10/10 would use korean again

13:32 is 10/10 pronunciation of razor blades for an Australian. Well done old sport!

Simon, thank you for your effort that you are putting in production and editing, very appreciated!

A small note is when you are talking inches/feet (imperial measurements) put down a small subtitle with normal units 😄

And btw since you are into history type of aviation, you should definitely consider Aeroflot Russian airlines since it is one of the oldest ones out there, and still survives in these hard times.

that celestial bar was incredible back in the day. My dad travelled a lot for work and whenever we went back to the US, we’d get upgraded, so my first jack and coke at the ripe age of 14 was 30k ft in the air.
