    Long takeoff roll. Guess the '600 is optimized for long range, so it's carrying hella fuel. The shuddering at 11:30 used to creep me out on widebodies until somebody told me it's not wing buffet but the main gear braking before it retracts.

    You think the one on the A340-600 was bad, I had to fly on the A340-300 for 12 hours with the non on demand system! I flew up on the A340-600 on the flight towards London and absolutely loved that one compared to the -300

    Great job once again! It was great in the beginning when you filmed the Virgin A346 that was pushed back from the gate next to your jet as it provided viewers a great perspective as to how big your same sized jet was on your flight. What do you think of Virgin as an airline, compared to others like B.A. or United? Do you get better service? I flew a long trip from the Eastern USA out to Hawaii last fall on United. Still ripped that US airlines make you pay for food for the past 7/8 years.

    When Michael O'Leary starts Atlantic Service to the States, Business and Economy Class passengers(only 2 fare levels will be offered) will flock aboard RyanAir Atlantic Service. Lufthansa,BA,Air France-KLM and all the other State Airlines will be in despair.FYI>>RyanAir plans to buy new and used 767 300 ERs, 777s,747 variants during the next downturn.Service will commence during that period when new and used Wide-Bodies can be had for a significant discount.Smart business moves!

    @ Jared Lowey; First of all, it would make sense for the "British" flag to be on the wing of a Virgin Atlantic plane, as Virgin Atlantic is a British airline. Secondly, for your information, it is NOT the "British" flag; it is the national flag of the United Kingdom, which consists of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. You should truly get your facts/information straight before you ask questions in a comment thread that come off as ignorant and snarky. Good day.

      Just because they cry during Takeoff & Landing (due to pressure changes in the cabin) does not mean they crew the entire way.

      Boeingbmaster HD One hundred percent! It's that and the noise. The pressure building up is a nerving feeling when you have no idea what is going on. As much as I love flying, I hated it when flying as a kid. After spending nearly 80 hours in a non-pressurised aircraft - I'm immune to it now ha.

    Do you get much turbulence on the long haul planes as this is my main fear and it actually stops me from going to LA in fear of getting turbulence mid flight

    • @airbxnee
      @airbxnee  4 роки тому

      it actually depends on the route... i've flown to and from LA a lot over the years and rarely had turbulence because the route is so northerly away from the common jetstreams. however going eastbound to europe is where you'll find the most turbulent flights on purpose. this is because flights are planned to take advantage of strong tailwinds winds, giving a shorter flight time and less fuel burn... but the trade off is a not so comfy ride. of course there's a limit to this and you'd never purposefully get planned (or shouldn't any way!!) in an area of severe turbulence. but that said, there's always areas of unforecasted turbulence. just be assured, these aircraft can take a huge beating as scary as it can seem. things to remember: your pilots want to get home safely as much as you do, so they'll never put you or themselves/crew in danger! and lastly, turbulence is the same as driving over a bumpy road :) your fears are rational. humans aren't designed to fly!

    767 production is still plugging along....plane that has been in production for 31 years and counting.Hawaiian Airlines chose Airbus because their investment-capitol comes from EU investors with direct/indirect ties to Airbus/EADS. A330 has bigger fuel capacity, which is the only reason it flies differently.767 was the 1st ETOPS plane...designed originally for short hops when flying across the Oceans was Prohibited for Twin-engine jets,Your comparing apples to oranges
