I’m an aviation blogger
I’ve been to over 100 countries
Since 1993
And I’ve been on more than 1,800 flights
And have flown over 3 million miles
My name is Sam, or Cui Jiaxing
I was born in 1980 in Beijing
Now I live in Dubai
Actually to be more accurate, I live in the sky
Because I’m in air more than 20 days per month, once every three days
Then I become an aviation geek
My love for flying started in my teens
Helicopters, small airplanes, large airplanes, private airplanes
And freighters
Like the DPRK, Iran, and Sudan, they have some very old airplanes
I just wish I could go to the country to take the planes
I want to experience all first-class cabins
The Emirates A380, Singapore Airlines, British Airways, United Airlines
What first-class passengers focus on the most are probably
First of all privacy, and then enough time to rest
Or space
First-class cabins are becoming more and more individualized
Recently there is first class with a double bed
The Boeing 777(passenger plane) of Emirates offers single compartments
The Etihad Airways has the Residence.
With a separate bathroom
A separate bedroom
And a separate living room
That might be the top among all the airlines
7,000 dollars can only afford a cheap one-way ticket
The Etihad video
Went viral immediately
It has been viewed by 20 million people
I’ve also been on a supersonic aircraft
The Concorde
The flight only took 3 hours from New York to London
By now there’s no other plane flying faster than that
And the people who managed to take it were rich
Each airline has some beautiful stewardesses
Personally I like those of the Emirates
I never receive a penny from any airline
Most (of the tickets) were afforded by my own
I’m smart too
I often find the cheapest ticket
Like bargain hunting
And I upgrade my class using mileage
I obtain the greatest comfort and pleasure with the least money
I used to work for others, in an investment bank
I earned over 1 million RMB one year
The interest (taking planes) had been developing
But conflicted with my job at some point
I could do neither well and I had to give up one of them
Now my main work is making videos
I have about 1.2 million followers on YouTube
My videos have 240 million views in total
This time I flew to Chengdu from Beijing
And then to Daocheng
I pay attention to end-to-end shooting
The whole process from the moment I arrive at the airport to the moment I leave the plane
I record a lot of things that passengers want to see
But are unable to see
Such life looks enjoyable
Actually the workload is getting heavier and heavier
Shooting, editing and operation of social media
Are all done by my own
Sometimes I sleep only for several hours a day
Now my work is also my interest
Although with heavy workload and pressure
I feel satisfied with myself every day
Because I’ve done so many things I like today
I feel my life is in my hands more
