This video will undoubtedly not be for everyone. It's an overnight red-eye that doubled not only as my flight to MIA, but also my hotel for the night. So, there's not much to see anyway, and I was directly over the wing due to picking a premium economy seat so I could get some sleep. This is also one of the rare times I used a mount to film a flight. I have yet to master the art of sleeping and filming at the same time 😂. So the cruise portion of the flight was filmed with a mount. Not that it makes any difference, as you can't really see anything haha. It is also worth noting, that this is the first and only time I've ever filmed a reverse operations takeoff at LAX, so that's cool! Anyway, if this one isn't for you then I understand, but it will definitely be a favorite for those of you use my videos to help sleep as the screen is dark for most of the flight and there wasn't any loud passengers around me. Enjoy!
Yo man no need to worry we’re all human and get tired. I have no idea how you even do what you do without randomly falling asleep cuz I know I would 😅. If you ever need to take a break for a day or 2 or even more trust me we’ll all understand! Regardless though, appreciate the dedication!
I'm surprised you were able to use the mount. I have a mount and I only used it on one successful flight without a conversation with the flight attendants, which was on an Air Canada flight using their Boeing 787-9.
I love watching your videos while studying. The sound of the engine brings me back to my happy place. I'm a commercial pilot right now so I'm aiming for the airlines

nice one SP, I appreciate you’re so dedicated to your videos that you’ll even make a full length one of basically nothing for the few that might enjoy it 😅 keep up the great work
You know what it’s crazy. You would think that videos like this wouldn’t perform very well. But they often perform better than any other videos. This video is still the best performing video I’ve posted all month in terms of how many views it has right now versus how long it’s been published.
@@sla31 i think the thumbnail has a large part to play because it really is very beautiful and eye catching, but for sure I think more people are into this sort of thing than you would think. thing is you’re the only big channel doing this type of content so the platform is very undersaturated
I was watching a few episodes of Charmed in memory of Shannen Doherty, who left us yesterday, and now, I'm watching your red-eye flight video. I watched all 8 seasons of that show from the beginning, and I also watched the Charmed remake show they did recently. Now, I feel jet lagged from watching your latest video, didn't get much sleep, was too busy watching Charmed episodes.
Sitting in that area, it reminds me of when I flew on Japan Airlines Boeing 777-346ER. I was sitting in 18A and 18 K, on that area of the 777, where you were sitting. (Hopefully, you understood what I meant...) Also, noise environment during takeoff and landing, added character... You hear the gear up as you lifted off. Anyway, great, unique, area of the aircraft, the wings may block views of terrain, but I liked the environment.
Even Though This Was A Red Eye Flight Great Video Awsome Shots Of The Triple 7 At The Beginning If You Can Keep The Triple 7s & 787 Videos On American Coming
Another enjoyable flight! It’s nice to see MIA again, it’s not that common to see on the channel. I just recently flew in and out of MIA on an Alaska 737 Max 9 from SEA. It’s one of the bigger airports I’ve been too, I got lost🤣. As always great content!
Stunningly beautiful shooting filming footage compilation and a very interesting piece of work!! .. well done super awesome super great upload !! .. million thanks again my friend ..
Great video Skylite👍. Liked and enjoyed. Also I see that the take off is in the opposite direction, meaning that the airplanes are taking off to the east instead of the west.
Hey Traveler. Red Eye, Seat Over the Wing, Reverse Ops Takeoff. Ohhh It's going to be one of those "Twilight Zone" Episodes !!! he he he As Glinda the Good Witch of the North waves her wand over your head, repeat "There's No Place Like Home, There's No Place Like Home, There's No Place Like Home !!!" Here Comes the Sun, Here comes the Sun, and I say, It's alright !! Westbound landing over downtown. I did not see an issue with the Mount. It was a steady view.
Another overnight flight let's go! Would it be possible for you to make a playlist with all night flights? I love them to fall asleep to but they are hard to find on your channel since you can't search for or filter them directly. I am aware that there is a "Full Flights for Sleeping" playlist but it's a mix of day and night flights which also excludes videos such as this one due to it being under 6 hours. I know this is a highly specific request with little demand but it would be a nice addition to the channel! I wish you safe travels! ✈
That’s a good idea. I also have one that’s specifically long flights without distractions like babies… But I don’t have one that’s just night flights. I’m on a trip right now and that’s really easy to do on my phone 🤣. But once I get back I will do that.
So you telling me that normally you hold your camera to film on other full flight videos? How you get it to be so stabilized and perfect with just hand held
Yes, that’s correct. Even on long flights I generally hold the camera by hand to avoid vibrations getting transferred into the lens. How do I keep it steady? 9 years of weekly practice 😂.
Hey Skylite! That's a beautiful approach into Miami. I love night flights. Skylite... I might be having a silly moment here ( and I do have many 😅) ... But as you're descending, and coming in to land, what is ( or what is causing ) that row of lights on the leading edge of the wing. I can't quite figure that one out. It looks cool though!
So what you're seeing there isn't lights, it's light reflecting off the small strakes that are on the top of the wing to help airflow. With the way the wing flexes, you can't see them when you're on the ground, so it's easy to forget they're there. And then during the day they're hard to see because they're simply painted the same color as the wing. It's the wing and engine lights that are on the fuselage that light up the engine and leading edge of the wing for the flight crew that is reflecting off of them, which makes them look like a row of lights.
@@sla31 How interesting! I was aware of the strakes on the nacelles, which we often see at work during takeoff, but didn’t realise there were any on the wing. Makes perfect sense though! Thank you sincerely Skylight for such a cogent and thorough answer! Very much appreciated my friend 🙂
Either that or they were just blocked somehow. Sometimes the wings gave anti-glare shields that helps keep the wingtip lights from blinding the cockpit crew. I honestly don’t know if the 777 has anything like that or not, but I’ve seen them on tons of smaller jets. Something like that would block the view of the wingtip lights. Anyway thanks for watching!
I don’t think they’ll be going anywhere from that route; hub to hub trunk route along with the need to reposition for them in MIA for the South America flights.
@OTRTrader well unfortunately, contrary to what @B.Launders said I have to be the barer of bad news here. American has actually publicly said recently that they intend to remove wide bodies from pretty much all domestic routes except Hawaii routes. Specifically sighting this flight between LAX and MIA as a major money loser for them. See, American doesn't have any of their wide body fleet configured fro domestic use like United does. So their wide bodies are premium heavy. This means that frequent flyers will purposely book these flights in a lower class, knowing full well they will get an upgrade because there's tons of premium seats. Here is a video explaining the whole thing: ua-cam.com/video/Hs6Mxl40WQU/v-deo.html As of now, September 3rd is the last day you can fly the 777-300 between LAX and MIA 😔.
Double reverse pattern. Reverse pattern takeoff for departing east over the Los Angeles basin, and reverse pattern landing for arriving west over Miami Beach and Miami city centre.
It’s definitely row 18. People forget that American have 15 rows of Flagship First and Business on their 773. That plus the 4 rows of Premium Economy rake up everything you see here, as 18 is the last row of PE. This is why American is removing this plane from this route. It’s way to premium heavy for domestic ops and they are losing money every time it operates because people just buy economy knowing full well they’ll get an upgrade. September 3rd is the last day the 773 will operate the LAX-MIA leg.
It's true that in general, I don't take a ton of overnight flights because... Well, they're overnight haha. But, they're also the hardest flights to film for a variety of reasons. Sadly, there have been quite a few red-eyes I've taken that never make it to the channel. For example, I took an overnight red-eye from Tokyo to Singapore on an ANA 787. Well, the cabin crew never turned the cabin lights off. On a flight that departed at like 11pm. They were full blown on the entire 6 hour flight. This causes the cabin to reflect tin the window instead of being able to see what's outside.... So, that whole flight was scrapped because all you could see in the footage was the selection of the cabin. This has happened multiple times. I have a few more coming up later this year, so hopefully I'm able to film them.
Well the simple answer is that I don’t. I sit away from the wing, either in front or behind, far more often than I sit over it. In fact, over my last 26 videos published only 5 have been over wing. So that’s less than 20%. In this particular case I sat directly over the wing because this flight was also my bed for the night. So I picked a premium economy seat (which are all right over the wing) so I could sleep 😂.
I bother with them because they're very popular and are often my best performing videos. This is currently my best performing video of the month so far in terms of how long it's been published vs. how many views it already has. Many people watch my videos for the ambience and white noise over anything else.
Well, red-eyes save money and time. You don’t have to spend 1 night’s worth of money for a place to stay, and you can easily get to your next destination during night so you can enjoy your spot during daytime.

White noise was low in the cruse, there are other plane trips where the white noise goes loud
That's likely because of my seats position. The wing blocks a lot of the engine noise.
I'm surprised you were able to use the mount. I have a mount and I only used it on one successful flight without a conversation with the flight attendants, which was on an Air Canada flight using their Boeing 787-9.
@LMLAviation well I was asleep so they’d have had to wake me up to say anything and no one ever did 😂.
This channel is a gem!! Love your contents!!
Glad you enjoy it my friend! Thanks for watching!
That wing’s huge!
I like using the sounds of a plane flying the sounds of the engines put me to sleep and it keeps me asleep it’s like white noise for me
Great video! Great flight! I love your channel and AA 777-300ER!
Glad you are enjoying the channel my friend!

That's great my friend! I wish you the best of luck in your piloting journey! I'm glad you enjoy watching these while you study!
That is a nice sunrise in Miami. Thanks for sharing
Excellent night take off view out of LAX on huge wingside of AA 777
Glad you enjoyed it my friend! Thanks for watching!
Another therapeutic night flight video! Perfect to get some good sleep. Thanks for catering to those of us who value such videos.

Beautiful view of Miami from behind the wing! Gorgeous city!❤
Love looking at the reflection of the Lax airport windows on the tip of the wing. Watching the shadows of the people on the wing as they walk.
Such a wonderful Thumbnail! Love it! By the way, nice video, i really like your videos. 😊
I'm glad you enjoy them my friend!
Perfect noice for sleeping! Love it.
I flew on N722AN from JFK to MIA, I loved it!

I’ve never been on a 777-300ER, but man, that engine must sound so powerful in person!
I have been on both a 777-200LR and 777-300ER. The engines can literally shake thr entire airport! and also, your ears ring!
I always love your flight videos even at night flight!!👍
I'm glad you enjoy them my friend! Thanks for watching!
Great fly! That wing is so long and it is about the length of 1/4 of the football field.
