Excellent review mate! Seems you has a great flight. Hainan has one of the friendliest crew I’ve ever met.The economy class looks very comfortable with adequate recline.
Thanks for watching mate! Indeed, very friendly crew and not a bad seat :D
很详细的海航洲际经济舱体验！ 舱门迎宾的空姐太可爱了哈哈哈，服务也非常personal，餐食多得和商务舱一样😍羡慕这种这么空的航班。
她也是飛行途中給我熱毛巾及蘋果的空姐，她人品真的好好。多謝收看！
感謝您的評論。 請原諒我的中文，但如果我用英文寫這篇文章，我會受到女權主義者的嚴厲批評。 與西方航空公司相比，所有空乘人員在選美比賽中看起來都像是參賽者！ 西方航空服務員仍然非常友好，但是我已經飛行了很長時間並且接受了傑登在他的航班上收到的服務和互動。 我可以繼續，但我認為你有我想要傳達的要點。
I agree, Guerry, that's so true with Cathay Pacific.
Even in economy it seems you have plenty of room...lots of vacant seats!! Love watching those wings on take off ! I am with you on touch screens. Having flown on about 20 different airlines over the years I have found the touch screens almost useless...better off using the remote and sometimes that can take a long time to navigate to where you want to go !! Very impressed that the cabin crew were walking around offering water and snacks etc...normally after the meal they go to the back of the aircraft and sit around talking!! The best Netflix is out the window!!! Fantastic review Jayden as always and I look forward to our next flight together!!
Thanks a lot Craig! Yeah at the end I decided the use the remote. I loved that the crew took initiative to walk around the cabin with snacks and drinks and asking people how they feel. And you're right, the wing view is free too!! Thanks again and have a good weekend!
Lovely review and how nice warm and cozy does that cabin look . Very impressed with this airline so far cheers once again and look forward very much to the next videos 👍🇬🇧
Thanks a lot for watching. And as always, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
I agree. Red has a warm feeling. I am always cold when flying. Maybe a red interior would help convince me to feel more comfortable? A mind game maybe, but blue is not warm, and definitely overused! 🥶
Hey Jayden! You've done it again! A really interesting and comprehensive review of this Hainan Airways flight. The red interior of the aircraft made it seem very comfortable yet modern at the same time. Lucky you to get all of that food. I love dumplings and was quite Impressed that they were served as one of the meal options. You looked like you enjoyed eating them. Thanks again for another really thorough and honest review. Cheers, Colin.
Thanks Colin, I hope you're enjoying your weekend! I was particularly impressed by the quantity and quality of food that Hainan serves onboard, it really changed the way I see Chinese carriers :D
This flight was IMPECCABLE! Shows the genuine appreciation for the Customer, what a fantastic experience. What if you don't speak Cantonese or Mandarin though? Do the Cabin Crew have good English. What an amazing experience and so glad you shared👍
I spoke English with the crew on the way to Canada. They weren’t super fluent but no problem at all communicating with them in English :)
Thanks for another great and detailed review of your flight with Hainan Airlines Jayden. You enable the viewer to get a real feel for the experience. This appears to have been an outstanding economy class flight though admittedly having such a low load enhances the passenger`s experience. The crew looked to be genuinely enjoying themselves and were intent on providing great hospitality. Love the crew`s uniforms too. I`ve never flown with Hainan, but based on your reviews and those of others I would love to travel with them. The fares you mention are also incredibly reasonable. Thanks again!
Thanks for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend! What I liked most about Hainan is the food they have onboard and the crew taking initiative to bring out the food from snack bar and handing them out throughout the flight :D
Wow Hainan Airlines really have stamped their name onto the aviation industry.
I really would like to try their Business class from Sydney.
The dumplings made my mouth water "yum" and this was in economy.
Well done Hainan Airlines
"Happy Landings Jayden"
Thanks so much for watching as always! I never expected dumplings to be served in economy class haha :D
I’m new to ur channel and I love it 🥰
Thanks so much for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :)
Love the Video's Jayden keep going they are amazing.
Thanks a lot mate, have a good weekend!
Wow - I love the colour of the cabin and as always love so much your reviews...you got the whole row to yourself....great. 👍👍👍
Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
I flew United from SFO-TLV last July and as I was waiting for my flight I happened to sit next to the husband of one of the Flight attendants. I gave him tips about Israel and on the flight the flight attendant gave me Ice Cream fro Business Class and the Ammenity kit! She remembered me on the return flight and gave me excellent service too!
That’s so nice of the couple! I’m sure you gave them great tips haha
That was impressive legroom for Economy Class seats! For a moment, I doubted what I was watching and went to check that this was not a Business Class flight. You've made me want to try Hainan Airlines more than before....after the coronavirus situation is over, that is. 😳
Indeed! Legroom was very good for this long haul flight. Hainan is great even though I got an old plane! I hope you get to try out their newer ones 😊Thanks Kathy!
I do like the red interior and the seat pattern; I find it very unique. The crew uniform is also very nice. I have never flown Hainan, but your video makes me want to try them. I also find it rare to get three meal options in Economy class--it is usually two. Great flight report, Jayden, thank you!
Thanks a lot for watching! Yeah Hainan is particularly generous when it comes to food offering :D
awesome video! I really enjoy all your videos. They are all very insightful and down to earth! Thanks again. Subscribed!
Thank you so much for watching and subscribing :D
I really appreciate it 😄
The atmosphere looks so relaxed. Perhaps its because the flight was sparse. I'd consider flying Hainan's economy though am not sure I would consider the business class because of its configuration. Thats a turn up for the books. Feeling relaxed is key. Thank you for showing this hidden treasure.
PS. Hope u got Mum a gift too. You know that comment about the necklace may sting a little, especially as the whole world has heard u say it. 😆 Great job on another endearing vlog, young Sir. Looking forward to the next post.
Hainan is upgrading their business from 2-2-2 config to 1-2-1 which I'm sure everyone will appreciate. Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
Thank you for that piece of info, young gentleman. Now thats my kinda business class seat configuration. I really will make a conscious effort to be bold enough to fly newer exciting airlines different to the usual BA or Lufthansa I use.
Keep doing an awesome job. You have a great weekend too
Excellent flight review 😊
Would have loved to try that dumpling
Haha thanks for watching! That dumpling was 👌🏼🥟
Nice review Jayden! Vancouver airport looks so cool though, way way better than US airports in general. The cabin crew seemed very nice and friendly especially during boarding.
Thanks a lot Yoel, the crew were incredibly nice on this flight. Thanks again and have a good weekend!
Wow! Awesome trip report and great service. The crew were so nice! 😆
Thanks for watching Oswaldo, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :))
Great video, Jayden! YVR looks like an amazing airport. It looks like Hainan has outstanding service. I was especially impressed how they went out of their way to recognize the elite flyers! Way to return the favor by showing them how to eat oreos. 😂 Also, I don't know how you were able to move after eating all those meals! LOL Thanks for another great trip report.
Thank you, Michael! Some airlines do recognise me as a Qantas gold when I fly but it's rare and it's usually just a quick hi. Hainan gave me a bottle of water, hot towel, apple etc. They just know how to make people happy haha :D
17:09 So cute feeding the camera! 😋
Thanks Georgi :)
Nice as always! What a great video to accompany my birthday today! Dumpling is one of my favorite food as well :v
Fantastic! Happy birthday mate :)
Awesome review, I really appreciate the way you do your reviews so thoroughly. Looking forward to more from you.
Thank you so much for your positive feedback :)
Great review, really enjoyed it, like the way you put it all together
Thank you :D
Hey OneWorld flyer! amazing review on HU,i am a huge fan of theirs especially their livery.Really liked thr way cabin crews did their duties onboard,they deserve a big thumbs up.Were you able to finish all those food 😆?.You did a good job by teaching the crew how to eat Oreo,i enjoy it that way too 😙😙.I also liked the way you were welcomed onboard,that welcome showed how caring that lady was.Its sad to see an amazing airline like Hainan is struggling financially 😣. Hope they get out of it soon and looking forward to your next video.Have a nice weekend mate 😊😊.
Nah, I ate just half of the meals I got given haha. The moment that lady welcomed me, I knew already it's gonna be a great flight! Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
The food and drinks looked great. I wish all airlines offered lemon water and dumplings with fried rice 😍😍
Thanks Steph! And peppermint tea too? None of my flights in April had peppermint tea :(
Hainan airlines air hostesses are one of the prettiest in the industry
Indeed, it's quite a new airline, I guess they explains why. Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
YVR is really the best. Sad that we were not allowed to explore the terminal when my CX flight stopped there before heading to JFK. Really liked the video! Hopefully Hainan could also fly to MNL. They are truly the best compare to the other mainland airliners.
Thanks a lot Owen, I believe Hainan will once they're out of their financial troubles. Thanks again and have a good weekend!
Thank-you Jayden for another succinct yet complete flight review. This is Guerry again, and although it has been a long time since I have left a comment on one of your videos, I have finally caught up with viewing all of your posts. In regards to this review, I was so impressed with the service you received in Hainan Airlines’ economy class that I had to continually stop the video and take notes. But, before I continue my comments, apart from the less expensive air fare, do you prefer flying into and out of Shenzhen or Hong Kong airports?
I have had to fly from cold to hot and vice versa places before, and what I have found most convenient is packing whatever clothes to wear at my destination in my carry-on baggage and changing in the lavatory during the flight. This is how I have stayed comfortable at both origins and destinations.
I do not know if you are aware or not, but airlines are starting to no longer install IFE’s (in-flight entertainment systems) on new aircraft or when they upgrade their cabins. In lieu of them, airlines will offer free cabin WIFI for passengers to watch movies, etc. during flights as a way for the airlines to cut down on costs. I have read that the primary reason is due to passengers practically torturing the touch screens to death with the way they treat them, causing the IFE’s to require excessive maintenance. So, I guess for frequent travelers it is time to purchase some sort of tablet to keep from going blind on a 13 hour flight by viewing videos on a cell phone.
For those who happen to fly on a 787 and enjoy videoing their flight, it is still possible to create a great video when the flight crew has overridden your choice and darkened all the windows. I have restored outside video shots to normal (eliminated the dark blue hue), but it requires editing the video with good video editing software - the free stuff will not work. I have accomplished it using “Pinnacle Studio” and Adobe “Premiere Pro”. Both videos turned out as if the windows had not been darkened at all and very nice.
The most important factor I gleaned from your flight is the absolutely incredible service you received from the flight crew. I haven’t seen this sort of service in many, many years on western flag air carriers. The lady crew members were stunningly beautiful, and the man who served you was exceptionally well groomed. A crew member showing up every half hour with refreshments is not to be found on the long haul flights I have taken, especially in economy (coach) class. Most surprisingly is the cabin cleanliness, specifically in the lavatories. I could write volumes as to how impressed I was with the service you received. However, I will just say that if I ever have to fly to east Asia, I will make every effort to fly on an east Asian flag carrier, even if I have to pay more for the flight.
Again sir, thank-you for a most enjoyable and informative flight review. Please keep up the great work, and I am looking forward to your next post.
Thanks a lot for watching Guerry, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
I do prefer HK airport more. Although Shenzhen Airport happens to be closer to my home, the HK-China border is a painful place to go through. Also the bus service don't run very frequently from the border to my home in HK.
I wore shorts because it was so hot in Shenzhen, and my legs are 'cold-resistant' when in Vancouver haha. As soon I arrived in Shenzhen, I took off my jumper 👌🏻easy peasy
I'm totally fine with airlines removing IFE screens, but they better make sure the Wi-Fi is free and fast. Otherwise I won't be happy. Qantas is doing that on their domestic flights, and I like it very much. They also need a phone holder on every seat, Cathay does that already but not many others do.
For me, what made the flight amazing were the cabin crew and the food. They made sure everybody was comfortable. Thanks again Guerry!
VERY NICE DIDNT SEE THIS ONE BEFORE I SHARE IT FOR YOU
Once again great flight review Jayden. Hainan Airlines have routes from many first-tier cities to major cities on a very low frequency.
You're right mate! It's hard to pick up customers there. Thanks for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend!
One World Flyer HNA’s service between Sydney and Changsha will be terminated soon due to low occupancy rate.
Fantastic trip report the crews on this flight were so cheerful and friendly, and the food onboard looked so amazing. Also, Vancouver Airport is so awesome. It is like the Changi of Canada 😀
Thanks for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend! Yeah Hainan's food offering is very generous!
Great review, as usual, Jayden. I am glad you enjoyed Vancouver International Airport. I hope you had some time to tour my beautiful hometown before your flight. P.S. It doesn't always rain in Vancouver! 😊
Thanks a lot Wayne! I was in Toronto and Vancouver for 3 days and it never not rained 😂 Have a good weekend 🇨🇦
@@JaydenWong Thanks, Jayden. You too! You will have to come back to Vancouver in July or August when it's almost guaranteed not to rain. 😊
Another great review! You had a luck, that your flight was pretty empty :-) In total it looks the service, the cabin and crew was very nice!
Thanks a lot for watching Pete, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
@@JaydenWong You'r welcome! Yes, I have enjoyed it! :-D
Everything looks great! I also like the colour theme in the cabin, because it reminds me of the Forbidden City for some reason 🤔
Thanks for watching! I guess that’s why they’re trying to do :)
Most greatest voice ever, 💐🌼🌲🏵🐞
Chem Vitu agree with you. The explantion and the voice intonation is so clear. I like his channel!!!
thank you :)
Good day! Good to see you onboard Hainan Airlines again! This flight is so empty and I think you can lie down even in economy class! Nice haircut by the way!
indeed, everyone onboard was so happy haha. thanks a lot for watching :)
Can you visit Chicago someday? I really want to see you in a video here at O'Hare Airport. Also, can try EVA Air from Chicago to Taipei?
yes I'd love to visit real soon!
The interior seat style/ colouring really reminds me of Air India 787 economy. They walked by every 30 minutes? That's like beyong amazing service. Usually on most of my flights the crew dissapears after the first service :(
Indeed, water at least every 30 mins, snacks perhaps 2-3 hours.
Unfortunately even my favourite airline, Cathay, their crew disappear after the service...
Another great video Jayden! I have heard good things about Hainan Airlines and your report seems to validate those positive reviews. Impressive cabin service and quite decent food for economy class. I wonder if the service you received would be less attentive if the cabin was completely full. This really was an ideal flight as so many passengers could stretch out in the economy cabin. Thanks for a comprehensive review. Best wishes as always. Have a pleasant weekend fellow aviation buff!
I'm sure when the flight is full, the service will be less attentive, but they'll still be walking around the cabin every 30 mins and give out water etc. Just less conversations and one to one interactions I guess.
Thanks a lot for watching John, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
@@JaydenWong You are so kind to take the time to reply to your viewers! Just another reason why I enjoy your channel. You have such impeccable manners!
@@johnsymons76 Thanks! It's my pleasure to read and reply all the comments!
I had heard about this airline in the past . And great reviews as well .
Thanks for watching this video also :)
I've never flown with a Chinese airlines so far and was pleasantly impressed by the attitude of HNA's cabin crew.
In fact, I have often heard that the service in Chinese airlines is rotten, the FAs crew are rude and unhelpful and the meals are short or horrible.
I'm happy that your report just contradicts all these prejudices.
I find HNA's FAs attitude are great and perfect and the meals look really gorgeous, better than those served in most European and US airlines.
BTW, it's true that a flight with few passengers makes FAs work less painful and easier and therefore they're more smiling and helpful. Maybe this is the case in your flight.
Anyway, thank you for your report Jayden!
Same here, I always thought Chinese airlines are bad until I flew Hainan. I'm actually looking forward to fly more with other Chinese carriers and find out what they're really like. Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
@@JaydenWong Hey Jayden! please try once with Air China and drop your feedback coz they really offer fxxx agressive rates vs. western/gulf carriers. Thx!
@@NewG101 I'm so aware of that, I might do that soon :D
Vancouver YVR 😜👌❤✔ for the WIN!
Thanks Kay, have a good weekend :)
Amazing video man they look very impressive
Indeed Jackson! Thanks a lot for watching, I hope you're enjoying your weekend :D
Very cool review! Did you take a coach from Shenzhen airport back to Hong Kong? :D I considered flying Hainan direct to SZX from CDG and then cross the border into HKG but I am not sure if it is convenient?
Yes I did. One coach to the border, then another one to my home in Yuen Long. vERYy chaotic at the HK/China border but other than that it was all good. If you can end up saving $1000+ departing from SZX then do it! Hainan is a great airline. Thanks for watching!
excellent flight report.Beautiful plane and flight
thanks a lot Yannis mate!
Your videos are very entertaining
And sorry for a 4 year later comment
haha no worries
Wow, Hainan Airlines is so different from other Chinese carriers, I definitely wouldn't hesitate to book a flight with them. Anyway, great video, as always!😄😄😄
Indeed buddy, my experience with them changed the way I see Chinese airlines :D
Food looks good - I'm hungry now! The flight seems pretty empty, good to get the whole row for some rest.
Thanks for watching Steven mate! The flight was flawless :)
3 meals!!! That's crazyyyy!!!
they treated me so well haha
That was very nice that got the selection of meals...They treated very nice....
Thanks a lot for watching Marcus, yeah the crew treated me so well :D
I am glad you had a great flight. Have a great summer and fly safe..@@JaydenWong
5:01, “This is the cupholder” you forgot to say “with fidget-spinner”
Haha thanks for reminding, I hope you're enjoying your weekend buddy!
Hainan again ! I am very love this Airline and Canada 地勤 is Chinese people？
Thanks a lot mate :D
I asked some of them, they're Chinese Canadian, mostly from Guangdong region
Wow that’s a lot of food! Did you finish all of them?
Nah mate hahaha. For the first meal, I finished the chicken rice, some of beef and fish. For second meal, I finished the fried rice and just a little bit of pasta
Great video......not many passengers on that flight.
That's sad and happy at the same time. Thanks and have a good weekend :D
What a light loading. You could sit everywhere you want 😁
yep, even the crew bunk haha. Thanks for watching!
that flight looks super undersold, how are they making any money?
i have not seen a flight with so little people in a very long time!
I'm sure they're not making any money! The airline is currently facing financial troubles. Thanks for watching!
i am wondering why the blankets dont have a plastic over it. Seems like they were not washed. I just took a flight with them from beijing to brussels and the same thing happened.
Great vid as usual Jayden, food looked great and Vancouver is one of my favourite places, how did you find it?
Thanks for watching Steven! I was only there for a day but I did manage to visit some places like the Gastown and Stanley Park, spectacular view from up there!
@@JaydenWong i did a trip from Vancouver through the rockies and on the Rocky Mountaineer train it was a fantastic experience
Any thing that has to do with china I will watch because it brings back memories.
That's nice! Well, I'm glad you found this video :D
Thanks for watching and have a good weekend!
Awesome report! hopefully i can make a vlog as good as yours
Thanks for watching, I believe you can Kam :D
Great video. Their 787 seems spacious. They are generous with the meals! Never had 3 options before. Too bad they are not part of One world.
Got your message on Patreon. Sorry I didn't reply sooner. I am not expecting anything from you but thanks for the message!
Thanks Eisya! Food was top notch, seat width was ok but legroom was great 👌🏻I'd love them to be part of oneworld, we need one from mainland China!
Are you sure you don't want the welcome gift?
@@JaydenWong I agree, we need one chinese airline to join one world.
I wouldn't refuse any gift so yes please. Sorry for the confusion, I meant to say I support your cause without expecting anything other than flight review videos.
No worries :D Just making sure hehe
Always a good full inflight experiences!! 😘😘😘😘
Thanks a lot mate :)
Hi Jayden! I know you mostly fly Oneworld Alliance Airliners but have you ever been on any ANA flights? I’m going soon to VN with a stopover in NRT through ANA
Thanks Thang. I have been on ANA but last time was over 5 years ago😅 I’d love to fly them again soon, especially they’ve just got A380 and B787-10
you're so lucky for the 2 extra hot meal. :)
Touchscreen not properly working in certain areas is always the case with economy class, this applies to other airlines such as KLM, etihad, and emirates.
yep, newer planes are much better, word exactly like ipad. Thanks for watching!
Hi one world flyer, firstly so glad to be part of the OWF squad! I will wear that badge with honour 😂 Hainan airlines , oh my gosh, the service was sensational, cheese offered, your inflight meal, when you boarded all the great greetings you received, then you got to go to crew rest area, you are so lucky, that would have been amazing ! I am definitely going to fly Hainan! Thanks for yet another legendary review!
OWF Squad member number 428747-400 Michael Sydney Australia
Dear Michael (membership no. 428747-400),
Thank you once again for watching! This will always be a memorable flight for me, I was treated like I'm their boss and being in the crew rest area was just amazing!
was that the Hainanese chicken rice? if not, Then I'd be suprised because it's Hainan Airlines
wow...Hungry Boy :-) 3 meals..hihi
Haha good airline happy boy
Super awesome vlog on Hainan Airlines
Thanks very much once again :D
It's not like what I usually heard of China based airlines, "crew are not friendly"... Crew on your flight are particularly friendly. How I wish if I can collect a copy of their inflight magazine
They were actually very genuine, we had a great chat in the galley for a good 3 hour. I would love to try out the Chinese Big 3- Air China, China Southern and China Eastern and see how they do. Thanks for watching :D
My international flights on Chinese carriers are very limited to Air China. I found the crew on every single flight to be friendly, extremely hardworking and very professional. Their command of English is weak, but since I speak Mandarin, it's very easy to communicate with them.
I think that Hong Kong airlines should learn from their mother company.
This catering is nice,so nice,especially,NO Congee!HAHA
Indeed, HK airlines is pretty average with the same livery on. Thanks for watching!
A perfect and informative video.
Thanks Stuart 😄
I quite like the red interior gives it a sense of ‘luxury’. Seems like a light loaded flight too. Oh and be warned at 1:15 haha..
Thanks a lot mate! I still can't believe BC legalised weed 😂
What a fantastic trip, hope you had a good flight,
Thanks a lot mate, I sure did have a good flight :D
I was surprised to see so many empty seats. I begin to wonder is it a money maker flight. Philippine Airlines stopped flying from YVR to New York. Just recently Cathay Pacific has announced they are discontinuing their JFK flight from Vancouver. They have been operated since 96. Are airlines scaling back flights to/from YVR?
That got me thinking a bit. Cathay changed one of its 777 to YVR to a A350 before the Hong kong thing happened. I'd love to hear back from an expert about this! Thanks for watching!
"Ladies and gentlemen, this is the final boarding call for Air Canada flight 25 to Shanghai. All customers should be on board through Gate D65"

P.S. Can you try WestJet or Another Air Canada flight?
Definitely! But unlikely in until 2022 :( borders here are so tightly shut
Hi, its being a while i passed by and drop you some comments:
1) Dont you feel the common 3-4-3 seats in 787 quite claustrophobic? I am spoiled by Jal 2-4-2 seating layout for long haul flight. Wanted to try ana 787 but was turned away by the 3-4-3 layout. I cant imagine i have taichi two seats if I was seated on window seat lol
2) The english spoken by pilots is quite good compared to Japanese airlines which is quite hilarious when they have no problem speaking aviation english but they crash and burn spectacularly when you try to speak casually (or attempt to do PA in english during domestic flight) to them lol.
3) so nice they gave you two different meal option, I tried to get double service on MH flight but they were not willing to give it (they did in the end) not sure why not since the flight is not full and the catering will be thrown away anyway in the destination airport.
kthanksbye lol
Yes I found 3-3-3 seats narrow, but thankfully the flight was empty so I didn’t feel cramped at all.
I do not understand a single word from Jetstar Japan PA😂😂
For the meals, they straight away explained the meals would be thrown away after landing so they gave me extra :D Maybe your MH crew was just having a bad day lol.
@@JaydenWong perhaps so cos it was midnight flight reaching kul in the wee hours 😂.
Perhaps you shd redo this review during full flight 😂
I will try the "food will be thrown away in arrival" for extra meal on my next flight especially on JAL since they (Japanese in general) tend to strictly follow by the book😂😂😂
Great video!
Thanks for watching :D
Can you speak Mandarin fluently? I heard you say "thank you" in Mandarin multiple times in this video.
Yes I can, I speak mostly English and Cantonese, but I can also speak Mandarin fluently.
@@JaydenWong you mean u usually speak English and Cantonese or you don’t know how to speak Mandarin as much as Cantonese and English?
I speak English and Cantonese at home. Mandarin only when I hang out with someone from the mainland or when I’m there :)
that dumpling is brighter than my future
ikr Lee!
Been flying on chinese gov carriers and qantas for ages to and fro china. Hainan is an economically friendly airline while having the best service in china
Indeed, I was really impressed by Hainan Airlines! Thanks for watching :D
How do you know the seat pitch and width? Do you search it up?
yep :)
go to google and search 'airline, airline type, seat guru'
eg. Hainan 787-8 seat guru
@@JaydenWong Thanks!!
Those dumplings do look delicious!
Indeed! Like fresh stove the stove in Wokinabox! Thanks for watching :D
Why & how do u manage to travel that much? i mean every week? #OWFSquad
Thanks for watching and asking! I upload every week but I don't fly every week. I fly a lot in short period of time, usually during school holidays :D
HX fly from YVR to HK and HU fly YVR to SZX.so will the HU flight a waste?
I flew HU outbound from PEK so I flew the same airline back to China. And then a coach to hK.

Jayden nice video, How did you get invited by Hainan :D?
Did their media team get in touch with you?
Yes they did :D
They emailed me
@@JaydenWong i respect you very much the fact that you replay and care, if you don't mind telling me in case i would like to collab with an airline like Hainan in the future how should i ask them?
Is '' I have a big aviation channel and i would like to make a review on your airline would you be interested" appropriate way to ask or how would you have done it for a better chance 😀?
@@Piratehunter96 sure it doesn't hurt to ask. But I just got lucky that Hainan was the one who approached, not me :)
@@JaydenWong Thank you very much, do you mind sharing with me the email Hainan contacted you with, it would mean the world to me:)
Amazing video, this looks like the best Chinese airline out there, be sure to also check China Eastern
Thanks mate! I will hopefully soon :D

How come you travel so frequently?
While I upload every week, I don't fly every week, but rather, I fly 'a lot' in a short period of time (eg school holidays) and then I edit and upload weekly :D
When did Hainan Airlines stop flying between Vancouver and Tianjin?
From January this year.

Do you think Hainan will be able to stay in business?
I have faith on them, as long as they’re doing the right thing they’ll be fine! Qantas, JAL and Cathay all went through financial troubles and they’re all good now :)

Thanks so much Jose :D
When you want to go to Indonesia?
