- Good morning from Paris, travelling
to Le Bourget to catch a very cute,
special private jet today.
This is the smallest private jet I've ever taken.
It's like a back seat of a car.
- There is no buttons to control anything
on this aircraft anymore.
- It's nice. We have food.
That's most important.
There's no jumps the cockpit,
but I can actually see through.
The engine's funny cuz they have these uh
engine pylon on top of the wing.
At the back of here, has a private toilet.
The views are really, truly amazing.
We're crossing the Alps.
Now I'm on an amazing race.
I have 20 minutes.
What are they?
I've flown from the smallest private jet now
to the biggest a380.
I guess this is the most luxury economy.
(upbeat music)
- Yeah, this is one of the nicest ABO in Paris Le Bourget.
Just refurbished a few times ago.
- Le Bourget, I heard of this name long time
where Paris air show's held.
It's also the busiest private jet airport in Europe.
There's quite a few jets on the ran.
There's four of them.
Guess which one I'm travelling to Milan today.
(Upbeat music)
- Your Aircraft is ready.
- Departure.
See you. Bye-bye.
- Bye-bye
(Upbeat music)
- Hi, Captain.
(Plane engine roaring)
- Well, I have to duck
because the door is quite small, right?
This is the smallest private jet I've ever taken.
It's like a backseat of a car, right?
It's really cute.
Mini cabin.
I've flown big Airbus, big Boeing
private jet 747sp or a320neo.
But this is the first time I've flown a full Cedar
of very light jets, Honda jets.
- For the safety briefing.
So we have two emergency exits.
This one here is exit number one.
This one here is exit number two.
The mask will come from above.
Just put it over mouth and nose,
just breathe normally.
And your life vest will be located below your seats.
If you have any other questions
there are safety briefing cards
in these side holders here, to review for your own safety.
- This is our catering today.
Nice. We have food.
That's most important.
- Ready to go?
- Yeah.
- Perfect.
Hi Sam.
So this is the cockpit of the Honda jet.
We have here the garment great thousand Aion suite
with full cut screen control.
So there is no buttons that control anything
on this aircraft anymore, except for a little bit
of other systems, but everything happening for the flight is
in these cut screen controllers.
And either one of these screens can display whatever
you want on there.
So it could be systems.
It could be maps and charts like we have here at the moment.
And also the moving map here
and here for the pilots for easy to see.
- So how long is our flight today?
- So the flight time to Milan from Paris today will be
one hour and 18 minutes
and we'll be going to Malpensa today.
The ceiling of the aircraft, usually it's flight
level four 30, we only five flight level 3, 1 0 today.
It's a short flight
- Here we are. Already taxying to the active runway.
Time is gold.
People usually want to save time when
they charter private jet.
The reason I want to fly on this Honda jet is not only
because I want to show off and show you the experience.
It's also for myself as a pilot
jet club actually allow you to
buy a fractional share of this plane.
And then you can use the plane
to training and you can fly yourself up front
which is very revolutionary concept.
I think it's great for older pilots
like me, who want to fly a jet
and build some multi engine jet hours.
There's no jumps in the cockpit, but I can actually see
through straight to the cockpit here from the cabin.
It's just like a car, right?
There's you imagine a six seater car.
That's four seats here.
And then there's two pilots flying you in the front.
(Plane engine whirring)
(Inspirational music)
- It's pretty amazing a tiny Honda jet
and the back here, has a private toilet
a wash basin and a bathroom here.
The engine's funny cuz they have these engine pylon
on top of the wing
that makes a unique selling point of the Honda jet, right?
It's like a Japanese kind of aeroplane.
You know they real estate.
They squeeze everything in.
You have a little galley,
you have a bathroom, you have a four seater.
You can even recline and put your feet up.
You know, every little space is utilised.
(Upbeat music)
The views are really truly amazing.
We're crossing the Alps.
I can see on both side, mountains.
(Upbeat music continues)
It's been an absolute fantastic flight.
Although there's no fly attendant, nobody serve you.
It feels so cosy.
I'm here all by myself.
Enjoying that magic view, crossing the Alps.
We just saw Milan Malpensa.
We're on downwind before turning final for landing.
(Inspirational music)
(Plane whirring)
(Plane jets whirring)
(Upbeat music)
What could be better seeing the whole beautiful scenery
from 31,000 feet in your own private cosy Honda jets?
It is such a treat.
It also reminds me why I love aviation, it's an experience.
- All right, Sam.
So welcome to Milano now.
The flight time was one hour and a little bit.
We made up some time in the air flying the speed
of 420 knots on this blue Honda jet today.
And I hope that your join us one day and jet up.
We can pilot yourself with you together.
- Hope to fly with you.
Thank you, sir.
Oops. Oh, see you Captain.
- All right.
- All right, bye-bye.
(Upbeat music)
- Ciao.
- Hey, the fun hasn't stopped here.
So now I'm on an amazing race.
I have 20 minutes run to terminal one
to connect on my Emirates a380 flight.
(Upbeat music)
Made it to Malpensa, terminal one.
Luckily the Emirates flight had a small delay.
So now I have a lot more time.
Back to flying normal commercial aviation
is taking time to board.
Mask back on and looks like today is not very full.
I think it's only about 200 people.
That's why I chose to fly economy.
What are they?
I've flown from the smallest private jet now
to the biggest a380.
(Upbeat music)
So much quieter than this morning, the private jet.
This is the quietest aeroplane in the world.
I guess this is the most luxury economy.
You can lay down all four seats to yourself.
So I'm very lucky today.
The flight's not full at all.
I booked the ticket last minute.
I look at expert flier, look at the seat map.
I figure out there's going to be lots of seats
in the middle section.
Especially the third section around row 60 to row 78.
(Upbeat music)
- That was a beautiful day.
Flying a small twin engine Honda jets
then the biggest aeroplane, a380.
No matter if it is a private jet or flying economy class
both can be really enjoyable and unique.
I hope you enjoy flying with me and see you next week.
