If you're going to splurge on 1st class, the best is really is Emirates .... You can shower, you get your own personal space too like what you had, but you can eat steaks as many as you want!
Mugen Taisen, well I didn't make that number up... I searched that airlines first class tickets from my state to Taiwan when I watched this video and I got 18k. I was curious at how much these tickets would cost me.
actually JFK to ICN roundtrip in F on KAL is around 18k USD. so one way is 9k USD. also keep in mind that the A380 is has open Kosmo Suite and 747i has Kosmo Suite 2.0 with the doors. There is a difference in seating layout in business as well. The newer Pretige suite is pretty sweet. However the difference between Prestige and First on KAL, while being 3x in cash price, is only 25% more with miles. So when booking with cash, book Prestige, and use the miles to book in F. When looking at the complete picture, 160k miles+$300 cash for this itinerary, hard and soft product is cheap AF. If I was flying to Asia, I would just take this and connect at ICN. Another cheap option is JFK-ICN on Asiana business using ANA miles, again connecting in ICN to your final dest. I think it is about 95k(!!) roundtrip, which is another bargain. All in all, the Korean carriers provide the best redemption value for premium cabin from US to Asia.
a lot of people do that, hahaha!! just check out more of the first class & bespoke airline lounge and air passenger services videos! and can't remember the title but there's one in L.A. that even offers their high end customers a car & driver who takes them to an apartment on or near the airport grounds..a nice one filled with food & drinks & sweets..they have only a few so reservations are required..unless it's an unplanned, last minute request and one gets lucky that one is available ..so, no trying to get comfortable, waiting during a long layover or hours for a rescheduled flight. 😐
Idk how the lounge rules work, but my greedy self would be stuffing my bag with all those milano cookies. They taste really good, but pretty pricey lol
American Airlines: we can’t afford to provide pillows and peanuts for our first class guests. Korean Airlines: Would you some pajamas? PSP? Bose headphones? WE HAVE OXTAIL SOUP FAM
Try flying overseas. American airlines from St. Louis to Shannon, Ireland. A pre-appetizer and champagne upon sitting down. All the stuff he had. 777 plane. Not rich, we just hoard airline miles!
Once i was flying with emirates for 14 hours and my TV didnt work so i got upgraded to first Class and my brother and mother did aswell that was 60000$ if we would buy it so im kinda happy my TV broke
Were you already in Business Class before you got upgraded? Because it's almost unheard of for a premium airline like Emirates to upgrade passengers directly from Economy Class to First Class.
@@TrueBeelzebub It's probably around.. 1,000 calories or so. It's very little if you're physically big and you haven't had anything else all day, but it's a lot if you're still going to eat two other meals.
LoLoLoL!! ikr?? he's *so* funny! because that *boi* can *EAT!!* 😱 i don't think he *realizes* how much food he can take in, even when compared to other guys!! 😵
Other commentors: That lounge offered gas station snacks & didn't even have any attendants. Me: You mean a freezer full of Häagen-Dazs with zero witnesses?
I honestly love these type of videos because they motivate me to do well in school and to have a good job so I get good flights to travel. Seoul , London , Hong Kong, Tokyo are my goals.
Tess Jimenez It’s so nice to see someone like you! I also love watching these kind of vids as motivation to work harder! Every time, in videos like these, there are ALWAYS people who are complaining, and expressing their jealousy. Like, I often wonder if people don’t feel motivated to do anything anymore..
My goal for this year is working hard since I’m taking advanced classes and next summer I’m going back to China again to visit my cousins and I’ll have bragging rights of how I’ll hopefully succeed my classes
Sorry but if you ever get a "good job", you will never be afford this. I have a great job (pays really well) yet this is for people who take risks in life and own a business or businesses. If you work a job, you could live a good like but not fly like this.
Gonul Arslan as a small child my Dad went away regularly for business. I was always excited when he gave my sister and I the toilet bag and sweets he got on the plane. He didn't need to buy us anything because we were happy with the miniature toiletries.
I don't care about the fancy schmancy food. Just having a comfortable seat with plenty of leg room is what appeals to me. Well, the bigger bathroom doesn't hurt.
When flying, always dress for a top business meeting and eventually you'll be upgraded. I've received three top upgrades and even my own masseuse etc. I was disappointed when I had no limo chauffeur though! Haha.
+Matt Warne (Medionez) I know, you can play Solitaire, scratch inside your pants, freely pass gas, crack your knuckles, play the drums with your silverware, pop your gum, etc... Sweeeet
True. In a business class you don't get that much space and privacy is not always enough. Although I must say business class to me is already adequate for a few hours of flight.
I wanted to travel when I was younger but at almost 60, I'm content keeping both feet on the ground. That written, it's wonderful to travel vicariously through your youtube channel, Mike. You make a truly informational and entertaining tour of different types of travel, living accommodations and cuisine.
I don’t mean to pee in your Cheerios, but that lounge was a JOKE. That is the least impressive first class lounge I’ve ever witnessed. No staff. No work areas/ports. No showers or sleeping areas. And 7-Eleven food??! Ummm.
Mikey, i have to say that out of all the airline reviews on youtube, yours is the best. Hopefully you can do more in the future because they are really spot on! Cheers, Will
I mean he liked the taste too. I don't think he was disappointed because they're bad or anything like that, but more because he expected something that would better justify the price he paid for the tickets.
Also depends on the length, how much you like to sleep and what food you like. It's ok because you get to watch a load of movies and tv shows but you can't really sleep because there are small children including babies on board and the food isn't that great
Mikey, I loved watching this video and you did brilliantly. Having travelled First Class, it was always due to a free upgrade. My advise to anybody reading this, if you're travelling alone, always dress for a business meeting. I've been approached and upgraded three times, and aside from the chauffeur limo, you receive exactly the same service.
At my airport they have a lounge for veterans. And since my dad is in the army I have been there. The lounge had really nice chairs and the food where hamburgers, hotdogs,dounuts, sandwiches, candy, and more. It's amazing!
I've only seen it like that in Thai hospitals lol. So I knew it was a thing, but there they had tiny straws for each person to use for the pudding cup size water.
It actually depend on what airline you use when taking first class. If you took business class, one class higher than first class there will always be a buffet in the lounge
My guess is they put the water in those pudding cup packaging so that they can be taken on board the plane since it appears to be 100mL and under ? Idk could be wrong haha
I wouldn’t be complaining about anything in first class I’ve only been on a plane once and it was a coach regular airplane and my sister threw up on my foot 😓😓
When I was moving, my parents wanted to make it special, so we got first class tickets, there was no difference except they served you food, it was terrible.
Burton Yan Hey, this is Mike Chen. He can eat four large bowls of Udon with extra noodles in a single day one after another, and then grab a cone of every ice cream flavour in the shop.
+Stephanie Moran Blue Lagoon is a MUST! They also have a week of music in Reykjavik every year if you enjoy music try to go that week if you don't like crowds then avoid that week. I suggest renting a car and doing the golden circle one day or at least take the bus tour. It is easy to drive. Not much traffic. If you take the northern lights tour, you can keep going back if you don't see the lights every night for free. We went 3 times. Have fun. It is amazing.
+Stephanie Moran For the flight. Iceland air is awesome. If you pay the extra $$ to get the extra leg room. First class is usually only $100 more and you get lounge access, inflight meal (very good, we had ribeye on the way there.) and the seats were good.
First is always worth it to me and that price is totally doable. I'm super spoiled...my dad worked for United my whole life so growing up we almost always got bumped up to First or Business. How many times have you been to Iceland?
Obviously these two commenters dont know anything about international travel or airports. Instant ramen does not, ever, belong to a first class lounge. I'm pretty sure Koreans are able to produce actual fresh authentic Korean food, soups, dumplings, kimchi, bibimbap, all fresh and steaming with a side of international foods and pastries to go with the Korean buffet, wine, soju, champagne and other drinks. That is what many not even first class lounges have, the lounge was like a sad dark conference room that someone forgot existed, despicable
@@MikuHatsune12 That’s because it was located in America In Korea, they do have fresh food. I’m pretty sure that’s the case for most airlines - shitty lounges elsewhere but good in home base
Not quite sure how I ended up watching this video - but it kept me interested until the end! The presenter was fabulous, and very entertaining. Going to watch another first class video now. 😆
My first time flying first class was with Emirates and it was pretty gosh darn amazing and well worth the money! Cape Town to Dubai and then Dubai to Los Angeles. Both flights were long and the flight to LA had showers. I'd love to try other airlines with first class, but I'd have to save up big time. It's kinda hard to find an experience that would beat Emirates though.
This would have to be my all time favourite video by Mike Chen. Although he has since experienced better service with Qatar Business Class, this was an exciting new experience for him at the time. This video in a way marks the start of a new chapter in his UA-cam career where he became known as an international foodie which resulted in a new level of fame.
I am flying next week, told myself to treat myself with VIP, I changed my mind and took the cheapest one. now I kind off regret not booking that ticket lol
Arun Crowhurst The plastic will stop them from going in cause they would have to unwrap or cut through it, go through it and wrap it again they will not go through the trouble if there is a bag unwrapped right next to it.
Considering being a first class lounge I expected WAY more I mean when I flew British airways business class there was a full on a kitchen and we also had access to the first class area and it was like a restaurant and like fuzzy chairs
That was a really lame first class lounge! The one in my local area is as good as that and we are a medium size town. I would think JFK would have better though you may have been there at an off hour.
@@iris1196Most lounges would offer hot food, even Wingtips in JFK has soup of the day but this lounge in the video which I've also been to only has cup noodles and cold sandwiches.
You know that some rich snobby kid is watching this thinking, "ha this is your first time flying first class, I am 12 and I've ridden first class every time that I fly" JUST TO CLAIRIFY!!! I am just making a statement. My family is not rich
i fly a lot, like seriously a lot since i study in america and my parents live in europe, but i've never travelled first class. if i got the funds to do it i'd definitely do it tho lol
This guy has no fear! He sits and talks to himself (well, the camera), and he doesn't care whether there are people watching or not. It's really quite commendable. I wouldn't be able to do that.
Korean air is such a great airline. I've traveled on it so many times, only in economy, and it's great. Obviously the seats in economy are close together just like any plane, but there is enough leg room, and I'm 6 ft 1 in. The food is really good for airline food, and the flight attendants are so nice and try to help as much as possible. Once again this is in economy, so you know it's good
I fly in business class always. First class was only 3 times in my entire life. I just feel relaxed in business class since it fills my needs of a excellent flight! Also people, economy on international airlines is so good. Enjoyed Singapore, fly emirates and Qatar airways economy. Tip: Boom a economy class as soon it comes available, you'll likely get upgraded to business class and maybe which is so rare to First class.
If you're going to splurge on 1st class, the best is really is Emirates .... You can shower, you get your own personal space too like what you had, but you can eat steaks as many as you want!
Dr kk nah Etihad
Etihad vs Emirates is the most hardcore argument topic😂
Nah the new Singapore Airlines’ new first suite is the best
Dr kk How many steaks do you suppose the average person eats during a flight?
Crown yeah thats the one except it crashes 10x0 times every year
The first class tickets are like 18k USD. I would expect a freakin lobster and steak dinner as well!!!
*New York to taiwan* nonstop flight is around *$7.600*
Mugen Taisen, I checked from my state of TX.. still almost 8k is crazy and stand by my previous statement, lol.
@@sweet_ume3902 I only commented cuz you wrote *18K USD* which is a no way near the cost of that flight.

When your in the sky, your taste buds sort of get jacked up. So it takes a lot of salt and other seasonings to be able to taste as much as possible.
The water in that small cup is actually pretty standard... We get that with economy meals in Saudia Airlines...
the water is standard as well for korean air even if you're in economy you still get it.
We get that in economy meals in Silk Air too

That's not like a normal first class lounge normally there's a buffet

It actually depend on what airline you use when taking first class. If you took business class, one class higher than first class there will always be a buffet in the lounge
My guess is they put the water in those pudding cup packaging so that they can be taken on board the plane since it appears to be 100mL and under ? Idk could be wrong haha

10/10 Would fly again
When you're paying between five and fifteen thousand dollars for a flight, you get picky
Lovely
I would only pay that much for first class if I were going like in a 24 hour plain ride lol
kk Sway i think the longest is 16hr
NYC to hongkong is like 16 hours, unless you have multiple stops I don't see how it could get much longer.b
The longer the flight the more expensive it is for first class seats
I flew from Hawaii to Atlanta it took 14 hours.
You'd be flying to heaven cause no plane flies that long

Your flight attendant was like straight out of a movie. Drop dead gorgeous for no reason.
Oh man. PLASTIC SURGERY
korean air first class isnt really that good..singapore airlines, cathay, and emirates are some good ones
Yes the first class is really good but there are better but that doesn't mean it isn't good
True, I didnt mean to say it was bad as a first class, just subpar to the other first classes available on other airlines.
+A Wooden Chair I like your Chanel name
When I was moving, my parents wanted to make it special, so we got first class tickets, there was no difference except they served you food, it was terrible.
+Faiz Said ..............
I would be happy with that food!
But then I'v never traveled first class
mee too. but not if i payed too much money.
The food sucks
Haha me too!
if normal seats are like 300$, and first class is like 3000$, i would not be happy with that meal lol
"I'm glad I did not eat that much in the lounge" *after 2 ramen cups and a sandwich*
Burton Yan Hey, this is Mike Chen. He can eat four large bowls of Udon with extra noodles in a single day one after another, and then grab a cone of every ice cream flavour in the shop.
??? 😂😂😂😂😭
You copied someone else's comment
I’ve been in that Korean Air lounge in JFK. Those ramen cups are small and the sandwich is small too.
I got an extra bag of peanuts last time I flew, I felt like a rockstar !!
Great video. Such an easy to watch video. Yes the lounge in jfk was pathetic compared to other airlines but I love mikes humour throughout.
+gorf64 Thanks for watching!!! :-)
You should do a day in the life of mikey video. I just got to you're channel and its just awesome.
Try flying first class to Iceland. Their lounge is awesome and the food is amazing in Iceland lounge.
Thinking about planning a trip for early next year...recs?
+Stephanie Moran Blue Lagoon is a MUST! They also have a week of music in Reykjavik every year if you enjoy music try to go that week if you don't like crowds then avoid that week. I suggest renting a car and doing the golden circle one day or at least take the bus tour. It is easy to drive. Not much traffic. If you take the northern lights tour, you can keep going back if you don't see the lights every night for free. We went 3 times. Have fun. It is amazing.
+Stephanie Moran For the flight. Iceland air is awesome. If you pay the extra $$ to get the extra leg room. First class is usually only $100 more and you get lounge access, inflight meal (very good, we had ribeye on the way there.) and the seats were good.
First is always worth it to me and that price is totally doable. I'm super spoiled...my dad worked for United my whole life so growing up we almost always got bumped up to First or Business.
How many times have you been to Iceland?
+Stephanie Moran just the once this year. I am planning a layover there next time we go to Europe.
That's terrible for first class lounge. Even business class for other bigger airlines you get full buffet at the lounges
jeanchristie it’s just a secondary lounge at an airport that’s not even a hub for Korean Airlines.
Yup I live in Germany. And the lounges there for business class is way better then that lounge.
No the food is not good. Instant ramen on the lounge like what?
Maybe they gave instant ramen because they don't know how many people are coming or when they're gonna show up.
Dude ramen was is like Korea’s thing, ofc there gonna have ramen at a Korean lounge
Obviously these two commenters dont know anything about international travel or airports. Instant ramen does not, ever, belong to a first class lounge. I'm pretty sure Koreans are able to produce actual fresh authentic Korean food, soups, dumplings, kimchi, bibimbap, all fresh and steaming with a side of international foods and pastries to go with the Korean buffet, wine, soju, champagne and other drinks. That is what many not even first class lounges have, the lounge was like a sad dark conference room that someone forgot existed, despicable
@@MikuHatsune12 That’s because it was located in America
In Korea, they do have fresh food.
I’m pretty sure that’s the case for most airlines - shitty lounges elsewhere but good in home base
It was pretty sad... but Mikey! Love this guy... ever the excited and grateful optimist, was like happy to have two to eat!
One of the best features of Korean's first class is the air vent! So many airlines don't have them in premium cabins anymore :(
Not quite sure how I ended up watching this video - but it kept me interested until the end!
The presenter was fabulous, and very entertaining. Going to watch another first class video now. 😆
1st class is like me getting a girlfriend
Not gonna happen :'(
And now the story of true love begins
Alien _1337_ LOL
WhereIsTyqaNow Hmmm. you don't have a gf and she doesn't have a bf. hmmmmmm.
WhereIsTyqaNow lmao 😂😂😂
WhereIsTyqaNow I
This video was so enjoyable and great to watch! Thank you!❤️
When I watch these kinds of videos I always feel like I am going on the trip with Mike. Hahaha. It’s fun!
the lounge made me laugh, especially when he opened the fridge with one type of cheese.. It's like, it's a prank ..with the cup noodles lol
My first time flying first class was with Emirates and it was pretty gosh darn amazing and well worth the money! Cape Town to Dubai and then Dubai to Los Angeles. Both flights were long and the flight to LA had showers. I'd love to try other airlines with first class, but I'd have to save up big time. It's kinda hard to find an experience that would beat Emirates though.
Turkish and Emirates are probably the best
+AandG_adventures You forgot Singapore Airlines ^_^
How much?
Etihad and Cathy are both good airlines as well
+Harrison Crossley etihad is very good,i traveled from delhi to middle east to lax,loved it
“Lounge is unimpressive”
Cue to me sitting on the floor fighting off people who want to steal my spot by the wall outlet
That is the worst first class lounge I have ever seen!
Agree
totally! terrible...
Ikr
can't believe what a rumpty lounge that was. Noodles aren't first class dining
because taiwan is not their hub airport!^^
you pay sooo much and you get cup noodles ?
+Nikkhil Malhotra ikr?!
+Mikey Chen this is first class and the are serving 'cup noodles ' . sorry but that's just wrong man .
+Mikey Chen You should've took all the oreos haha
+ImSleeky LOL
That's just the airline, different airlines have better lounges then that.
I'd bring an empty duffel bag and take all the drinks and snacks lol
I thought I was the only one...... 😂
This would have to be my all time favourite video by Mike Chen.
Although he has since experienced better service with Qatar Business Class, this was an exciting new experience for him at the time.
This video in a way marks the start of a new chapter in his UA-cam career where he became known as an international foodie which resulted in a new level of fame.
me and my hubby will fly first class this coming december from Europe. Looking forward to it. yay!!!
Have a great trip!
Chekwattooh tseh have fun on the trip
Chekwattooh tseh wtffff so gewd ;( i only take economy clasx
how much was it?
Chekwattooh tseh i am flying couch to Germany on Lufthansa next week beat that dude
I can feel that . I hope you were happy . Every flight makes me feel comfortable , even in economy flight, I could only afford those tickets.
Your name sounds like My Kitchen
You just blew my mind!
I agree with you!
holy moly
Hahaha so true! “My kitchen” in a Filipino accent.....try it 😂
Omg I was literally bust right now🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻. I laughed so hard😅
Dang, feels bad watching his first experience. Glad he gets to experience so much better now.
That's it I'm getting first class
I definitely need this in my life now. At least once. Guess I should start looking at wheelchairs for after I buy the ticket.
+Mr Mistro When you fly often, sometimes they bump you up to first class just to fill the seats. It's one of the best notices in life.
+Gnat Foehn I once got bumped up to Business, was so happy😂 the plane was Embraer, but still felt special😂♥️😏
+Ulijana Baltimore lol those little things in life you just dont forget
+Jack Frost never, never forget😂😍
looks very similar to business
I am flying next week, told myself to treat myself with VIP, I changed my mind and took the cheapest one. now I kind off regret not booking that ticket lol
Lol
treat yourself to a fancy dinner. I fly cheap and spend the extra money at a spa or nice restaurant.
That's ok. I'll be flying to Germany later this year and will be in baggage next to the dogs. At least I will make some new furry friends!
+PsychoKeyboardist if I could see the dogs I'd be in love! If I heard them the whole time...
Id be freaking annoyed.
u survive
The plastic is to stop people from going through your stuff.
lol plastic isn’t going to stop someone going through your luggage
smashedmangoes It does because you can put a Plastic Zip and it will take time for somebody to open it.
David Loz yeah mate that’s true, but honestly if someone wants to get inside your bag, they will no matter what.
smashedmangoes Lol I cant argue with that.
Arun Crowhurst The plastic will stop them from going in cause they would have to unwrap or cut through it, go through it and wrap it again they will not go through the trouble if there is a bag unwrapped right next to it.
02:10 I'm Korean-American and I love Korean rice drink (식혜 or shikhye). Love that you like it too. Awesome.
WOW.... how nice!! Thanks for showing us around!
+Cheryl K (CherylsHomeCooking) Thanks for watching!!! :-)
Have a great day!
You say that lounge I average our airport lounge has plastic seats and a tv with no sound
Nathan Stone 😂
wat country is that?😂
YOUNGBAE`S WIFE SONE & MeU I believe it's pronounced every-where
Nathan Stone /
Considering being a first class lounge I expected WAY more I mean when I flew British airways business class there was a full on a kitchen and we also had access to the first class area and it was like a restaurant and like fuzzy chairs
That was a really lame first class lounge! The one in my local area is as good as that and we are a medium size town. I would think JFK would have better though you may have been there at an off hour.
This would be bad as a business class lounge but as a First Class lounge it's inexcusable
First class isn't what it use to be XD
How is that bad for business class?? I've never even seen a lounge that fancy
@@iris1196Most lounges would offer hot food, even Wingtips in JFK has soup of the day but this lounge in the video which I've also been to only has cup noodles and cold sandwiches.
Looks like such a nice guy
Jack McAlpin this Micky guy is so likeable😀!!!
I've always wanted to fly first class. I'd like to at least once..a really good one too
Than you should, I'm certain of that .saving is not hard to do,nice goal .
HAVE FAITH IN YOURSELF I'm sure you deserve the luxury.
Just don’t go with Korean Airlines 😂
You know that some rich snobby kid is watching this thinking, "ha this is your first time flying first class, I am 12 and I've ridden first class every time that I fly"
JUST TO CLAIRIFY!!! I am just making a statement. My family is not rich
Rachel Valdez I'm guessing that your family is rich
Phoenix she's saying someone is probably saying that not her herself
Haha true
i fly a lot, like seriously a lot since i study in america and my parents live in europe, but i've never travelled first class. if i got the funds to do it i'd definitely do it tho lol
no my family isn't rich
This guy has no fear! He sits and talks to himself (well, the camera), and he doesn't care whether there are people watching or not. It's really quite commendable. I wouldn't be able to do that.
I would of took away most of the green tea ice cream in the lounge and refreeze at home xD
It’s super dope seeing you in first class for the first time and seeing your reactions now brotha
Korean air is such a great airline. I've traveled on it so many times, only in economy, and it's great. Obviously the seats in economy are close together just like any plane, but there is enough leg room, and I'm 6 ft 1 in. The food is really good for airline food, and the flight attendants are so nice and try to help as much as possible. Once again this is in economy, so you know it's good
Great video, thanks. Probably the closest I will ever experience.😊
Same here
I fly in business class always. First class was only 3 times in my entire life. I just feel relaxed in business class since it fills my needs of a excellent flight! Also people, economy on international airlines is so good. Enjoyed Singapore, fly emirates and Qatar airways economy.
Tip: Boom a economy class as soon it comes available, you'll likely get upgraded to business class and maybe which is so rare to First class.
Johnny Rebel jwiebsishd i barely can afford economy
Johnny Rebel
Business is great but nothing is better than sitting next to the engine with people with no manners
Pink Ribbon me too lmao
This was very helpful and informative. I love your positive attitude and honesty. Great video. Thank you
When Mikey used to be amazed by ice cream and bidet toilets 😂
He’s come a long way
If I ate that stuff I would gain like 10 pounds...
I gain weight just by breathing air 😭
Damn if I was first class landing one of those airlines I'll eat all of the food.
I like Stuff finally somebody like me
I dont know if i should cry or laughing
haha thats already worse than adult metabolism
Good luck when you get older
I like Stuff I don’t understand
Mikey Chen 2016: I would take 2 layovers to save 10 bucks
Mikey Chen 2017: The premium economy was $400 more than economy so I took it.
*tastes a sip of water*
Mikey: " tAsTeS LiKe wAtEr"
Lol XD
