It is about time to plan a wish list of 2018 flights. In the new year, I hope to have the opportunity to fly on the below airline and aircraft. Many of these were suggested and demanded by my followers as I listened to their voice.

You can expect a full blog and video on each of the below flight in 2018!

Turkish B777 Business Class (January)

Turkish Airlines fly to more destination on earth than any other airlines. They have a large fleet of B777 so it is time to try out their hospitality!

Fly Dubai B737 MAX 8

From the cabin picture below, it looks premium in every way. So it is very intriguing to fly premium flat bed in this low cost carrier.

Hong Kong Airlines A350

Hong Kong Airlines has now set on a US expansion with plans to serve San Francisco and New York in 2018. They just launched their flight to LAX from Hong Kong on Dec 18, 2017.

  1. From LAX/Singapore/Kuala Lumpur, any business class / lounges review on XiamenAir, China Eastern, China Southern? Their pricing are the cheapest.

    1. They are but transit in China may be a bit more hassle. I haven’t flown these carriers yet.

  2. Hi Sam,
    I would love to see a video where you go to West Africa. In Senegal, they opened a new airport for Dakar (DSS).

  3. Hi Sam, maybe some interactions with other passengers? Curious to know what kind of people flying premium… Safe flights…

  6. Hi Sam,
    I have viewed many of your trips and wish it was me doing your job.
    I was impressed with your flights with Singapore Airlines and decided this year to fly with Singapore from Melbourne to Manila instead of Philippine Airlines.
    We booked our flight around September last year and took the particular flight because they were flying a A380 from Melbourne to Singapore which was going to be my very first trip on the A380 and was looking forward to it but since booking the flights they have changed planes and times of our flights a number of times. I have never seen so many changes to flights since I started flying. So far I don’t have a high regard of Singapore Airlines and when I mentioned that the reason for booking was to have the opportunity to fly in the big plane and if I could change my flight to Sydney instead of Melbourne that was not possible as I booked the whole trip over and back so no changes. I really hope that the flights on the 1st June are good because at this stage I have no interest in flying with them again

  10. Hi Sam,
    I liked the way you wrote earlier with images and more of article types. That was fun to read. Of course videos were great too. Also would like you to cover Jet airways Business/First also please if you can.
    Thanks.

    1. yes. Jet airways please. Their product was solid in 2007 but remains the same. its still much better than the other direct options to LHR from BOM and would be a good report – their business and first (but this will be discontinued in a few years). the 1-2-1 herringbone review would be preferred (EU routes) over their staggered business class seats (SEA routes).

  12. Greetings Sam!

    I’m Ethan from the Young Travellers of Hong Kong team.

    Great job on your blogging and videos- it’s amazing! I really wish you could put more of an emphasis on the seat product as well as crew interaction! While you have mainly focused on premium products in the past, there could possibly be some PE and Y reviews too! Some products I hope you can review are:

    Hong Kong Airlines A350 All Cabins
    China Airlines (From Taiwan) A350/777 All Cabins
    Japan Airlines Sky Wider Economy & Premium Economy
    ANA All Nippon Airways PE & Y
    Asiana Airlines A350 All Cabins
    Norwegian Airlines 787 Premium Class
    Icelandair 757 All Cabins

    Thank you Sam, and I wish you all the best for 2018!

    Warm regards,

  13. I would love to see more seat and product (preferably with commentary), lounge, and meals!
    I would also love to see it if you for example posted about what flight you will be on and when a few days before so us planespotters can get pictures of your planes with you on them!

    Thank you for your amazing videos of your flights.
    These are the things I would like you to do on your flights:
    • More on Seat and Product
    • More on meals and service deliver
    • More of commentary of flight
    • More cabin crew interaction
    Especially more of cabin crew interaction and more of commentary of
    flight.
    You could ask about stories that the cabin crew has on their flights and layovers
    You could ask other passengers if they have a story to tell in the video about
    their flights.
    Maybe the other passengers has tips on destinations where they have been or
    tips in the country they live in.
    Maybe some stories from the pilots from places they have been

  17. Sam: why don’t you give Air Canada a try? They introduced a new international business class in the last year or so and I would be curious your thoughts. They won’t come anywhere close to the Asian Carriers (CX, SQ, etc.) but they will likely perform better than any USA carrier. Cheers and happy flying!

  19. Hi Sam,

    Really enjoy your vlogs with different carriers. Also love the more unusual planes you fly on (such as in Iran).
    It made me cringe watching the cockpit videos with you snapping away on your camera with the light sensor ‘flashing’ away. Seriously not cool and I am surprised the crew didn’t say anything for the night landing in particular. I am sure you had permission to take the photos but please be considerate to the crew as it is really off putting in such a critical phase of the flight.
    Look forward to your 2018 vids.

  20. Hi Sam,

    Of course I love you video’s yet there must not be much to the USA planes – lol lol. I will be flying from Phoenix Arizona USA to Paris France in February 2018. Of course I will have to take Delta airlines on the first leg and then I will fly AirFrance La Premier to Paris. I will have to use Delta because it is partnered with AirFrance to get my millage. Delta is suppose to have a new 320 out. Have you heard anything about that plane ?

  21. Hi Sam,
    I’ve just flown KLM business from Amsterdam to Colombo in their “new” world business on the 787/9 Dreamliner. Thought it was really excellent. Would interested to see what you make of it

  22. Hi Sam!

    Yeah I would see more cockpit footage and seat products. It’s been the best 2017 with you with your excellent vlogs and hope to see you on 2018! HAPPY NEW YEAR!

  24. @Sam Chui – You clearly are one of my favorite travel vloggers. I would really recommend you cover some South American and African based Airlines in 2018 if you get a chance.
