This is NOT a promotional video. I pay for all of my flights and hotels (and I always tell you how much!) so I can be as honest and impartial as possible. I do not receive any special treatment that wouldn’t otherwise be publicly accessible, in fact, the hotels and airlines have no idea about my visit and that's the way I like it!

Another absolute feast for the senses…the videography, the music, the review itself…just magical. I love everything Japan, so that makes it extra enjoyable for me. I didn’t expect the gap with ANA to be this wide, but loved both reviews equally, just because you make it such an exceptional experience to watch, as if I’m sitting there enjoying it in real time. Thank you so much for the many hours of hard work you put into each and every video! 🙏🏼💫🪄

Any Japan related videos are fine by me. I went to Japan last year for the first time and absolutely loved it.

S tier flight reviewer 🗿🔥 you’re definitely among my favourites
-
Some of the most beautiful flight footage I've ever seen. Thank you.
-
I've been following you for quite some time. More and more, I've become addicted to the no BS, no fluff, long 'plane sightseeing' and the voice off. I thought I'd share this comment. Please keep 'em coming. ✈
-
The views are breathtaking and so is the music...
-
Thank you Kevin for giving us viewers a glance into the stunningly sumptuous JAL service on a long-haul transpacific route. I will soon be on a JAL flight from Tokyo to Dallas and I am looking forward to it especially after this video.
-
I’ll look forward to watching this series Kevin,,,,peace and happiness on your travels 😊😊😊😊
-
The music was the highlight for me.

-
Stunning scenery

Insane viws Kevin!

Haven’t checked in a while but love that your subscriber number has soared. Well deserved!

Brought back some lovely memories of my own trip in JAL First from HND to LHR back in 2022 in the exact same seat as you Kevin actually, 2K 😅 Crews were just phenomenal and the service was outstanding
-
I love your content. (And the flip flop style)
-
I flew LHR HND LHR on JAL over the last two weeks ... albeit just in Premium Economy (JAL offers the best hard product in this class) so not a patch on your experience. I did get to use the CX and JAL First class lounges at LHR and HND respectively because of my BA Gold status, which was lovely. You mention JAL's old MEX - YVR - NRT route - I flew on that in 1981 when I was a kid with my family on the YVR - NRT leg on a 747-100 or 200 connecting to SIN, where we lived at the time, on a DC10 . Good memories. In my view, JAL have maintained their consistently courteous service over the years.

One of the best parts about your videos is the spool up and take off sequence. I just wish you'd include the climb thrust reduction sound too. This would become top tier aviation ASMR 😁
