- Hi Sam, how's everything?
- [Sam] Good, good, yeah.
- Ready to take off?
- [Sam] Ready to take off.
(upbeat music)
- Hi, Sam.
- Hello there. - Good to see you.
- Hey Captain, how are you?
- Oh, very good, yourself?
- Yeah, excited to fly the 318.
I know this aeroplane usually stays in Asia
for luxury VIP charters.
But today, what a pleasure, going to go and check it out.
Let's go guys.
(upbeat music)
- Hello Mr. Ching how are you?
- Hi, how are you? - Welcome on board.
- I'm so excited to get on board this aeroplane.
Where can I sit?
- You can sit anywhere, this is your flight, sir.
- Oh yeah?
Oh, beautiful.
- So, can I get you a drink?
What would you like to have?
We have champagne, whiskey, Japanese sake.
What would you like to drink?
- Oh, I'm an easy drinker.
I'll have a glass of mimosa.
- Okay, I'll get a mimosa.
- I was wondering, I can remove my mask,
since I'm the only passenger?
- Of course.
- We're not sharing anyone on the private jet today.
- No, we already clean it before you come here,
so it's germ free.
(upbeat music)
Mimosa.
- Oh, thank you.
Oh, interesting, you have the aeroplane registration
on the napkins here. - Yes.
- Interesting.
(upbeat music)
- So I was wondering, where are you from?
- I'm from Japan.
(speaking foreign language)
(Flight attendant speaking foreign language)
- Have you ever been on an A318 before?
Today we're flying you on this A318 corporate jet,
the baby bus, as it's called.
The smaller version of the 320 family,
however we still have an amazing range
of 3,800 nautical miles, for about eight hours of flight.
We can fly to small airports where normally
a 320 will not go,
such as (mumbling) CTRI.
We can also fly to bigger airports like Dubai today.
I'm here in the cockpit, so, with Captain Dominic.
- Hi.
- My name is Marco.
Today we're going to fly over the UAE
for a lovely sightseeing flight,
and after that event,
returning about one hour and 30 minutes after take off.
- [Automated Voice] Approaching 3-0.
(engine revving)
On Runway 3-0.
(radio voice speaking softly)
(engine revving)
- [Flight Crew] Check.
3-1 (mumbling)
- I just love the views, it's just so amazing.
We took off and we flew over Jebel Ali the ports
and the palm.
And then on the left side, when you take
off you'll see a lots of A3D grounded, right?
Amazing on both sides.
And I think one thing is different.
When you fly commercial jetliner
you got (inaudible) and all the section segregated,
here this whole big cabin here, you can see
through twenty windows all left and right to yourself.
(soft music)
- [Flight Attendant] (inaudible)
- Oh wow.
You know this is why I miss Japan,
the food, the sushi.
What kind of sushi do you guys like?
Is it unagi, tuna or salmon?
My favourite is the unagi.
There you go.
It's time to eat.
What is this?
Oh, it's the miso soup.
So let's try the beef here.
I feel like a boss right now,
and I have my own private jet
and eating Wagyu beef, life is good.
Huge dessert later.
Wow.
(laughing)
- Enjoy your meal.
Lots of sweets, a lot of sugar.
This is so yummy.
I'm going to gain like five pounds after this flight.
- Mr. Sam would you like to take a break?
I'd like to take you to the private room to relax.
- Let's go.
- Please follow me.
This is Sam getting sleepy after a big meal.
Just time to tour the rest of the cabin following me.
Wow.
Oh there's a bed here, okay.
So this is the bed you can tuck in
then relax it a little bit, right? Cool.
All right.
Oh, I see.
Pyjamas, right?
Okay.
Where can I change this?
- We have toilet here.
- Toilet's inside?
- Sure.
Okay. All right.
We'll change and relax a little bit, thank you.
Ahh
Pretty big size toilet here.
Good time to change.
Okay, we're going to do a change here.
Getting comfy.
Let me put some lotion,
just a little bit dry on my skin.
I'm tucked in.
I've been thinking afternoon nap.
I think size matters.
This size here is bigger
than all the commercial jets I've been on.
- Hi sir.
- Yeah?
- I got a call for you
- You got a phone call.
Oh somebody call me.
Hello?
Hi, oh Andrea, bon jour no.
- Yes. Welcome onboard.
Our airbus, is a JT18.
How do you like it?
- How was the aeroplane? Fantastic.
Bellisimo. Mwah.
- Great.
- Ciao
Well, by the look of it
we're landing soon over the desert already.
Landing gear down.
Time flies while you're having fun.
- Welcome back sir.
Hey buddy. How are you my friend?
- Good. How are you?
- Hey.
- How was your flight?
Oh, it's beautiful. Beautiful.
Come have a seat, have a seat.
- Well you're taken care of?
I have no complaints at all.
The only thing I felt it was, I wish I could stop the time.
I wish I could enjoy more
and more and just wish every flight is like this.
This is the standard centre.
I'm glad you're here.
- And I have a question for you now.
How much on average, a jet like this per hour cost?
Well, every single quotation that we do is custom
made according to the customer's requirements.
However, from what I just heard from you
I think it's worth every single penny.
Don't you think Sam?
Well, what do you guys think?
Leave it in the comments.
Thanks for watching.
