- hiii everyone! first of all, thank you for 10k subscribers♥️ i'm so grateful for all the love and support i've been receiving!!
i split this trip up into two parts cuz there was way too much to edit and i got a bit overwhelmed 🥹
i was on the road for 15 days this trip, starting and ending in anchorage. my schedule was:
ANC ᯓ ✈︎ HKG ᯓ ✈︎ LAX ᯓ ✈︎ TAO ᯓ ✈︎ deadhead to SZX ᯓ ✈︎ ANC ᯓ ✈︎ HKG ᯓ ✈︎ ANC ᯓ ✈︎ ORD ᯓ ✈︎ deadhead to LAX
it was a long time away from home but i got to layover at my home here n there so it wasn't too bad! our layovers are pretty long and there's soooo much to do at every location so i'm able to keep myself busy.
my crew members have all been fantastic so far and that really makes the job much more enjoyable! i'm very thankful for everyone and truly cannot wait to go back to work🙈
again, thank you for your support and hope you all enjoy!

My son just turned 21 yrs old and just graduated with his bachelor’s. He was going to enter law school but changed his mind and wants to be a pilot. He is 5 months into flight school and loves it. Watching him going through this really makes me realize that you really have to have passion and focus. I have new respect for pilots.
Wow, my dream is also to be a pilot. I hope to fly with your son one day. It truly is the best job in the world 😊
Wow! I’m SO impressed with your incredible journey from zero to 747 in like 3 years! I’ve never heard of anyone that have done this so quickly as you! As you said in another video, still too young to drive in certain situations but fly multimillion dollar jets? No problem.
I bet you get some surprised looks from your colleagues that haven’t flown with you before. I bet they’re super impressed too!
thank youu! It actually took me 5 years total but yess im very happy here😊
YESSS the longer videos!!! Thank you fr, just what I was looking for. You make amazing content so the longer the better.
Glad you like them!
New vid nice! I always watch these like at 6am and really sets the tone for the rest of the day. I go to LAX a lot since my parents are retired and visit Mexico a lot. Something about airports really calls to me because you see so many people from around the world. I'm working on being a nurse but sometimes I wonder if I should have worked in this field. Thanks for sharing and glad youtube recommended this channel early on. They know what they are doing lol.
hahah thank u youtube algorithm!
wow congratulations 10,000 followers 🎉 that happened so quickly and I was there from the beginning😃 maybe you'll reach 100,000 soon😊
Thank you so much for the support!
I love the video so much, Esther!
I'm 52😳, New Zealander, studied Mandarin while doing my law degree,
then decided to go to Korea instead of China for my work❤
First I learned Korean at Keimyung University, Daegu (loved it!),
then went to work with law firms in Seoul.
Now, back in NZ, and preparing to start my PPL✈❤
My Dad flew🥰
and I look forward to carrying on his dream🙏
And I am still thinking of ways to return to Korea and fly!
Thank you☺You are helping inspire my dream~~*
Happy flying, and I look forward to your next video!
thats wonderful!! I hope to see u in the air someday
@@estherincloudsThank you, let's hope!!✈💙☁️
Congratulations on 10K subscribers! 🎉🍾🥂
Also, yay for the capybara love!🥹
thankyou!!
Thanks for taking us on your journey! I’m sure if you keep doing what you’re doing, you are going to get a lot of followers. You should try and do a video explaining what’s in your flight bag. Everyone’s always curious what other pilots carry with them.
ooh i love that idea!! will work on that😊
2:20-2:43 luv it 🎉🎉 also the 5:31 cool i never see this before 😮😊,i like the vlog you have shown it’s just like we travel yourself with many kinds of food,dogs with no harm and remain over night hotel,.Keep up the steps 😂 btw… be safe and thank you
15:05 UPS Boeing 747-8F, Atlas Air Boeing 747-8F, Cargolux Boeing 747-8F, Alaska Air Embraer E175, and all white Boeing 767-300F!
Very Good!! 💯
✅✅✅✅✅
Congratulations on passing 10,000 subs! I got in just before you got 2,000. I am so happy you have started doing voice-overs throughout the whole video. It helps this slow reader out. 👍 And, thanks to you BF for catching your 🧈landing at LAX!

Ready to fly in Enterprise 🤩
Can’t wait for part 2 also crazy switch from a small plane to the queen of the sky
i know i feel so blessed😊
Wow 🤩❤ thanks for posting this exclusive video in a life of a pilot
myt pleasure!
Isn’t this the best job ever? What job pays you when you are sleeping or out exploring towns! I am so grateful. First year, I ate all the catering I was assigned to saw my takeoff weight getting heavier. Now I only eat when I’m really hungry.
hahaha yes be careful of boredom eating
Remote jobs
Took me a second to think which 747 with a layover in Hong Kong will come to Los Angeles. Should be a freight airline. Turns out to be Atlas and it makes sense. I wonder how many pilots are in contract with Atlas. Feels a lot but you are definitely one of the most lovely pilots
This is great, after years of trying to understand how an Atlas pilot schedule works, I finally have an understanding.
Women are anyway the best Pilots !!! You´re so special GORGEOUS !!!😚🤗😻
aww thankss😊
Awesome I most likely saw your PO916 flight land since I work at the DHL @LAX
Nice video. I'm watching it during my lunch break. The food you were eating put my lunch to shame 😅
Love your adventures 😊😊 Your questions while sleeping in the bunk are very difficult to answer when you're flying East/West crossing many times zones and the dateline. Overall, looks like your having Fun!!! ENJOY!!! 😊😊😊
Thanks!!
Congrats on reaching 10000!
Thank you!!🎉🎉
You're living the dream!
Thanks for sharing, cheers from Japan!
Thanks Esther for the trip. Very beautiful.
Esther Your video is amazing life of a pilot all over the wsorld. I am dressing up as a pilot for Halloween I always do every year because I had always wanted to be a pilot. Everyone lost my pilot costume. I got the hat, shirt and everything need to wear a pilot uniform haha. LAX is a busy airport I will be heading to Costa Rica in November flying out of LAX on Alaska Airlines. The hotel you stayed at is really amazing I love the window part for privacy or just show full window LOL I look forward to your next video
omg costa rica!! hope you get to see sloths🤭
Congratulations on 10K 🍾🥂
thank you for sharing this !! cant wait to get my ppl
I love your vibes
Great video, you must really enjoy all the great things and places you get to see, thanks for sharing with us
i absolutely do!!
Thank you for showing your daily life, very intriguing!
Love seeing influencers with the same name as me😍
your vid is so entertaining ✨️
So lucky that you fly my fave plane !! The 747-400
The coldest days are coming. CNet in ANC is a blast!
Esther, 15 days is way too long! I'm on a 4-day trip to Taipei this weekend, 40 hour layover and fly back. Nice seeing you in HKG.
ikr! hope u get some good boba there, so jealous!
welcome to shenzhen～dongmen street is too far from the airport，baoan center is a better choice when you visit again😄
Keep doing more vlogs❤✨
sure will!!😊
Your Videos are so cool thank you .I want to be a Pilot and your Videos are Motivating
that makes me so happy to hear😊
Nice to meet you, Esther . Like to know a little bit more about yourself & so on.
10,000 subscribers - Now you're a K-Pop Star :) Beautiful video ... when are you coming to Boston :) Thanks for sharing!
Thankyou! not so sure about boston...🤔
These are very nice videos, happy to see some flight plans and your travel vlog. hope to see more of it. just curious that you are flying cargo and commercial tgt? Normally i heard pilots flying either commercial or cargo only, rare to see both types.
If you use roaming service you can use all your North American apps including google and google maps.
I love the B747-400F, great videos
Hi Esther how are you happy Thursday night and I hope you having amazing flight and I enjoy your channel
Thank you! You too!
She is absolutely delightful.........
Congrats on 10k 🥂🥂 you make nice videos 🫡
Thank you 🙌🙈
Your my inspiration 👩🏻✈️✈️
Love your videos! 👍
제가 좋아하는 비행기 vlog에 가장 좋아하는 기종인 747 pilot life 정말 부럽고 너무 멋있습니다.^^ 궁금한점이 앞전에는 Atlas air 운항하시던데 이번에는 Polar 이면 같은 회사가 비행기가 공유되는건가요?ㅎ
ooh butter landing!
10K yeee
long-haul cargo is where it's at!
Nice view and nice job. You are so cute.😅
Thank you! 😃
Thanks for sharing. Enjoyed your vlog.
nice video, keep it up smart pilot :)
love to see how you're challenging stereotypes! do you work for KAL or a shipping company?
cargo!
Best office job in the world!
facts😂
it’s beautiful, can I know the camera’name that you use?
Nice video! I am a student pilot in China and I am receiving IR training. maybe when I graduate from the academy and back to the company, I will fly 777F😂. I wish we could met in the sky.
Chinese hotel are top class, I have stayed all over china and it’s nice, I love Yibin.
After that buffet, you needed every one of those 23,000 steps to burn it off
100% true😂
I am loving it.
(Food) Queen of the Skies. 😂
facts😂
I've worked around this plane a lot in LEJ dhl hub. You guys are always parked at gate 487 hehe. Cool !!?
❤❤❤
Hey there Esther So I take it you flew for United or DL Express before Atlas ? How long where you there? How many hours did you have when you got hired on at the airline? cant wait for part II
yup 1.5 years!
@@estherinclouds ORD based? I was based there for my last 12 years at AA now retired. By the way I love your Channel... FYI, lived in Kunsan and Osan for 4 years. I miss my layovers to Kimpo
@@Boeing767DriverAAi was lax based before! thats awesome i've been to osan before!
been self-studying for 6 months now, I am going to apply for the CX cadet programme next week, any tips your can give me?😮💨
ERJ - 767 - pair of 747s
believe that is a 777F.
So Atlas assigned you to ANC basing or is that your only option since you are new with low seniority? Are the NY and Tampa basing harder to get?
are you allowed to vlog during flight?
Must be such a nice feeling when your boyfriend takes the video of you piloting the plane on its final approach. How impressive is that?
If you could put the name of these amazing hotels that would be amazing!
Have you ever met Kelsey?
Does Atlas have a dedicated Loadmaster on each flight?
not always! sometimes they fly with us
Great
SZX，near that JW，try yifang mall and haiya mall😊
Alright gonna pin it!
cool vid what app do you use to view the flight plan or is it a company app?
jeppesen!
I like watching your videos, upload more
Is Atlas a good company to work for?
Do you get to accumulate your hotel and airline points?
most of the time yes!
I am from Qingdao and I’m a student pilot！ is there still LAX-Qingdao nonstop airlines ？ I thought they all cut it off after pandemic
do you work for Polar? or Atlas? or are they same company??
Very cool VLOG!
What's the name of the app you use on the IPad for your flight planning?
Thats jeppesen fltdeck
@@estherinclouds Thanks for the reply. I will have to check it out! 🛩️
มัน wow มาก
It still blows my mind that a tiny 115-120lb girl can handle a 700K+ 744/748!
😂😂
So you flew E-jets for horizon before atlas.. NICE!
Is pilot easy or hard❤
Hey just a ques. Did you have US citizenship to become airline pilot in US. I too wanna study aviation and become a pilot in the USA. Would really help alot if you guide me a bit😭🙏🏽
long vlogs!
很棒的🎉
I Love you❤
Hello! I do have a question for you. Can you help me?
Which European and South American destinations do you also fly to?
im not too sure but we do a lot of germany for sure!
Where are you from? Aren’t you a Mandarin person in Taiwan😂😂❤❤
✈️😴😴😴
Have you experienced any tough Captains on a flight so far?
nope, thankfully everyone has been super chill and pleasant😊
