(upbeat music) - [Woman] All right, thank you. - [Sam] Hi there. - How're you? - [Sam] How're you? Good to see you. (aeroplane engine whirring) (upbeat music) Hey, how're you? (upbeat music) This is awesome, this is awesome, look at this. You can have planes and driving out and look at all the planes on the taxiway, this is really awesome. Well, today I'm leaving the States, I'm going to London, so I'm connecting on LAX. What I'm doing is trying out the LAX Private Suite, which is a very special VIP service. (upbeat music) This is so great, I wish this ride never ends and I certainly don't mind it goes slow 'cause you can spot all the planes at LAX in the comfort of a limousine. Hello. - Hello. - [Sam] How are you? - I'm well, how are you? - Good. Oh this is such a treat. Thanks for the tour across the airfield. The massage bed's setup already, look at this. Airfield view. Wow, impressive. So, this is actually exactly in this, a private suite. - [Concierge] This is your own suite. - Wow. - [Concierge] That's for you. - I thought it was just a lounge really, but I didn't expect a private suite like this. - So this is the only suite that we have that has actually an outside area. - Yeah, beautiful. Look at this. - We have another outside area which is outside. We'll show you that on the tour as well. - So outdoor patio, this is the only suite that has this. - [Concierge] This is the only one. - Oh look at this, you could even camp in here. Oh my gosh. Seven, four, seven, taxied past the private suite of mine. What could be better? - What we've thought of here is, when you travel, there's one or two items that you always forget. So, we have everything in the suite here that you can take and use for your travel trip to make it easier, make it simple. We have snacks available in the suite, and also a short order menu if you're hungry and you want something to eat. - This is amazing, I have my own fridge. I don't share with anybody. And I have my own champagne, that's really amazing! Here, fully stocked fridge. This is beyond the next step of travel. Really, have your private lounge instead of having sharing with anybody. I like this feature here. In case you have a sweet tooth, then you can just go like this, ahhhhhh. This is really amazing. Before my flight, getting a full body massage. (upbeat music) Well I really enjoy this little day bath next to the window, I can plane spot and see planes taking off on a south runway. I feel completely relaxed here, I even take my shoes off, just feeling at home. Well time went really fast. I just spent three hours in my private suite. I had a massage, I took a little nap, I did a little plane spotting, I ate a meal here, I enjoy a bit of drinks and a bit of work as well, the privacy is the best part. I don't think I can go back to any airline lounge after experiencing something on this level. Before I go to flight, I want to share with you the VPN that I'm using travelling around the world and why do I need a VPN. The VPN I use is called Surfshark VPN. It is one of the best value VPN out there. The reason I use VPN is bypassing the internet sensorship in many countries I travel to, example China, many countries in the Middle East, so I can connect to Facebook, I can connect to YouTube, to Netflix, to watch different Netflix library, to access all the content I want. With the help of Surfshark VPN there are chances to found cheaper air tickets, cheaper hotel rooms, and rental cars. The other reason to use the VPN is if you want to stay secure on your data while you travelling using public wifi you should use a VPN to encrypt all your sensitive data like banking credentials, so no one can steal your information. So now I will like to share the best VPN deal with my viewers. Get Surfshark VPN at surfshark.com/sam enter promote code "sam", you will get 83% off and one extra month for free, that is less than two dollar a month. Thanks for watching, this video is sponsored by Surfshark. Oh my god. This is like a little pharmacy here in the bathroom, the amenities. I mean, no kidding how much medicine they got here. Every single type of medicine, pain killer, anti-acid, you name it. And also there's even a shoe shine, wrinkle releaser for ironing, sleep aid. (upbeat music) So this is pretty cool, you can play mini golf in the car park here. Here's how it work. I figure a member will drive up here and then go in to the private suites before their flight takes off and then when the time is due they'll be taken through TSA, a private TSA, and then get on a limo, private transport, directly to their plane. (door opening) - [Sam] All right. - Sam TSA is ready for us. We can go this way. - [Sam] Let's go. - I'll take that. - [Sam] Okay, thank you. (upbeat lively music) There's no queue here, smoothest TSA check. (Aeroplane engine whirring) (upbeat music) This is the coolest part of this whole experience because I'm a plane spotter, I'm an AF geek. Look at that. We're racing on the taxiway with a seven-eight-seven holding out there so hey, we won. (upbeat music) This is my big flight, I'm pretty sure the seven forty seven to London Heathrow. Look at this, incredible. (upbeat music) - Hello, how are you. - [Sam] Hi, how are you? - Good to see you again. - [Sam] Nice to be back on my second home, seven forty seven. - Thank you. Enjoy. - All right. - This way, this way. Its the wrong way, you need to go that way. - All right we'll switch seats. (laughs) - No, you and I, we're together. - All right, cheers. (clink) - Cheers. - Make yourself here at home. - Back to my second home. (upbeat music) Sit here and its like one face this way, and one face that way. And you can see each other, slightly awkward for take off. After take off you can raise the screen again. The reason I chose the seat 14 K is because I want to see the engines so on take off you can see, got a really great view of the engine here. - Chabuddy G. - Chabuddy what? - No, no. Chabuddy. Chabuddy is a sandwich. - Do we get a sandwich? - No, no I'm director, there's no sandwich. - Sorry. - The name's G, Chabuddy G. (laughter) Naomi, I was doing James Bond. - Yeah, I got that. - 'cause you're in it, aren't you? - Yeah, I am in it, yeah. (laughter) - I was just wondering Naomi, has there ever been an Asian bond? (laughter) Cheers. (laughter) (aeroplane engine whirring) - Look at that wing, its bent. I think its for helping for fuel. Its probably more about the weight. Always a joy with the view over the engine. (aeroplane engine whirring) (upbeat music) Oh my God. What a beautiful take off and I think my seat choice was correct. 14 K has the best view of the engine. This is the RB two eleven engine, Rolls Royce. The last vlog we had KLM, which is the GECF6 engine. Which engine do you like on the seven four seven? Do you like Rolls Royce, Pratt and Whitney or do you like GE? So I was sitting in the reverse facing seat on take off, which I don't really feel much, it was a very gentle take off so you don't feel like sliding down and honestly to myself, I just don't feel much difference reverse facing as long as its window seats I enjoy the view and I'm very happy. (lively music) - Every time you fly with us, we love having you On what we call The Queen of the Skies. Seven fur seven it epitomises mass travel for everyone. This is the way to travel. - Its still the favourite of many, including myself. You sitting at the nose, you sitting even in front of the pilots. The pilot were behind you on the upper deck. - We try to make all our guests feel special here from the youngest new borns to people who fly with us regularly. And its just a total honour to be on this plane, its the queen of the skies, its a great piece of kit. We're going to be flying her for a good long time, yeah. They just such a solid work horse for us. The crew love them, but more importantly our customers love them as well. So long may she carry on flying and be the queen of the skies. (upbeat music) Flight is not full. This business class has 86 seats. 20 upstairs, 66 lower deck. Its called a super seven forty seven, premium cabin configuration. Today's flight is not full so I got to walk around and try out different seats here. This is how the aisle seats feel, in the forward sitting. If you sit in the middle they're reverse sitting. If you sitting on the aisle they are forward. If you sit at the window also reverse. (upbeat music) Well dinners not bad. Actually quite like it. I think there's improvement from British Airways. Especially the starter, is rare roast beef with a good salad and also I enjoyed the gnocchi with the salmon. I was too full so I skipped the dessert. (upbeat music) Very good morning. Slept very well, five hours rest. Now its about a hour and a half landing to London and enjoy the flight back here. Not the latest design of course, this is one of the previous generation design, but in the window seat here I feel really private. Great thing I liked about the seat here is my leg, there's nothing about my leg. There's no little foot well, so my leg can turn around easily. But the seats is very narrow of course so the best way is turn sideways to sleep. Good padding on the white company bedding, they have two actually, one comforter and one blanket so it keep my body warm. (upbeat music) All right so we are more or less 20 minutes to London. I really enjoyed this seat here because I love then engine view. Its one of the greatest view, very good privacy seat. Little bit on the con side, lack of storage here, there's not much storage except the one little tray at the bottom. The crew were great, they came over and had a chat with me, what I'm doing, some even follows me on YouTube. So very very pleasant chat although they a little shy on the camera but it was a very very very nice transatlantic flight on British Airways. - Look forward to catching up with you and thanks for flying seven forty seven. - Yeah. - Very nice to meet you. Safe travels. (upbeat music) (aeroplane engine whirring) - [Loudspeaker] We look forward to welcoming you to London Heathrow, thank you. (upbeat music) - Its always nice to have a quick shower just after landing. (upbeat music) This is black pudding where I come to UK to eat to keep my body warm. Very yummy. (upbeat music) After a long flight you need a massage to revive and combat the jet lag. I wish they had this on the plane, its very comfortable. (upbeat music) - [Sam] Well I hope you enjoy flying British Airways seven four seven with me. Cudos to BA painting the retro livery on their seven four seven. Let me know in the comments section which one is your favourite. The BOAC, Lendor or Nigas. Enjoy the seven four seven in action and long live the queen. (upbeat music)
