1 ~~~ What’s Air Travel Like Now? Flying The World’s Oldest B777 (26 Years old) ~~~ 117 I was flying Chicago to Denver on United B777. Before my flight, I met up my United friend Mike Hanna, who headed up United Chicago hub operations. He gave me a tour about the new measures taken to make travel cleaner and safer such as social distancing at terminal and lounge, temperature check for all employees, installing of glass shields at check in, the electrostatic spray of cleaning terminal and inside the plane. He also showed me a HEPA filter and explained how air filter system work inside the plane.
Then I flew on the World’s oldest active B777, N774UA, a original Boeing 777-200 A model from Chicago to Denver. The plane was 26.0 years old, line number 002 from Boeing. During my flight, I met up with fellow passengers, pilots and cabin crew to see what’s changed in air travel. I documented the new boarding procedures, the change in food and beverage served onboard and everything. I talked to several passengers about how they feel of flying In the pandemic.
United currently do not have social distancing onboard their planes but said they will alert passengers if the flight is 70% or more full for options.

3 ~~~ What Happened On My First Solo Flight? ~~~ Take a look at my first solo flight with incredible footage from Insta360 ONE R camera. Exclusive viewer offer: Use code SAMCHUI to get a free "invisible" selfie stick when you buy an Insta360 ONE R camera below:
I did my first solo flight as pilot on July 16th, 2020 at Torrance Zamperini Field, Ca. The requirement for my solo flight was to do 3 full stop landings in the traffic pattern. Before my solo, I received solo endorsement from my flight instructor, passed a medical test and received student pilot certificate from the FAA. The airplane I flew my solo is a 2 seater Sling 2 from Sling Pilot Academy. Take a look how my flight and landing goes? Did I nail those landings?
I shared my solo thoughts and invited lot of good pilot friends such as Kelsey (74Gear), Reza and many Sling Pilot Academy students to share their solo experience and how to navigate pilot training during COVID pandemic.

4 ~~~ Flying Home on Lufthansa ~ Part 2 ~ Shocking Business Class Flight to Dubai - Dubai Arrival Procedures ~~~ After a spectacular Lufthansa B747-8 flight in First Class,
it turned out that my Lufthansa A330 flight from Frankfurt to Dubai would be a shocking contrast to my previous one.
There was no hot food, no pillows, no blankets and very limited drinks on this flight.
It didn’t feel like this was a Lufthansa flight at all. Find out what happened during the flight!
I also give a comprehensive review of the Senator Lounge in Frankfurt Airport during my transit.
The good news is the high-quality food and the showers in the lounge are coming back.
At the end of the video, I have shared the Dubai arrival procedures.
Watch the video to see all the formalities and requirement in a step by step guide.
