It makes a lot of sense that Delta has the largest 757 fleet when you consider that it was the only type common to both Delta and Northwest when they merged.
Great video, man! I’ve always wanted to fly on Delta Air Lines, but never have! From what I heard other than this video is that the Boeing 757 is a great plane. Another amazing video!
Really enjoyed your vid as always. I was born and raised in Atlanta so have been flying Delta all my life. I live in D.C. now and still only fly Delta when flying home to visit family and friends. When you were describing the airport in St Louis it seemed as if you were describing some of the characteristics of DCA in Washington albeit a much smaller airport. I must admit I love the smallness of DCA, not complicated in it’s layout, relatively easy to get through security and very quick and easy to get to one’s gates.
I just booked a United flight from Chicago to Honolulu for this November and on my way back on the second stop from San Francisco to Ohare, we are currently scheduled to fly on a 757-300!
Delta have the best maintenance and caring hangars in the world. You might think their fleets like the 757’s look like new but doesn’t. They cleaned and put new parts and polished their aircrafts to look like new. Delta also does maintenance work for other airlines too
I miss when TWA was the hub and headquarter in at STL and remember all day busiest full of TWA’s planes going and coming almost the entire TWA fleet model including the L-1011’s
I"m smiling at your use of the world 'epic'--an epic takeoff,epic wing vortices! What is not being mentioned is how you got to St Louis--would think you drove but from Champaign? I hope you had a hotel somewhere along the way if you're at STL at the ungodly hour of 230am! What was 'cooler' than the shiny wing was flying under a previous aircraft's flight path (conspiracy theorists would label it 'chemtrails') Haven't been through ATL since 2014 connecting to IAH( flight is on my channel) TUS-ATL-IAH--you begin your journey in CT, fly to ATL (ET) and on to DAL (CT)--looking forward to the 717 segment! As I call Chicago home in my heart, no doubt it amused you seeing that ad for Illinois as you went down the escalator!
I love the fact that Delta doesn't want to retire their old 757s, 767s, A319s, and A320s. They just want to keep them for as long as possible. I flew Delta when I was younger, but on a CRJ900 under Delta Connection. I was invited to the cockpit after landing because the pilots in Europe didn't want to wave at me.
@@CTravelsAviation The way I see it is it's what's on the inside that counts from a passenger perspective, and that cabin refurbishments are cheap, while new planes are expensive. Whether you're on a 1 year old A220 or a 30 year old 757, you're going to get pretty much the same product with Delta. I'm not saying never get any new planes, but there's also nothing wrong with continuing to fly planes that are over 30 years old as long as they are safe and well maintained.
Yeah for sure 😂 I saw Delta flying the 757 from there or Indianapolis so it was one or the other…STL had better bus timings from Champaign so that’s why I went from there.
I think one of these days you should consider flying back into IND. As someone who is from the Indianapolis area, it’d be cool to see you come back! IND airport is an incredible one overall.
Fantastic flight report! Wish I could fly the 757 but it's very rare to find a flight just in Europe (I believe Jet2 only flies it here) Also what equipment do you usually use to film flight reports?

757 is my favorite aircraft category!

Great Trip Report as always, Hadi!
Keep up the amazing work!
Thanks a lot bro!
Definitely a neat treat to ride the 757 at least once in my lifetime it’s definitely nice and the ife was also pretty good!
Excellent trip report man 👌👌 trip reports on the 757 are very rare to see nowadays , it really is an iconic airplane ✈️
Love The 757 Great Airplane Good Delta's Keeping Them Around

I grew up in StL, that is one old airport.
Still find it crazy how interchangeable the 757-200, 757-300 and 767-300 are at DL. I've seen the 753 swapped out for a 763 and vice versa many times.
Definitely, then again the pilots hold the same type rating on the 757 and 767!
I miss when TWA was the hub and headquarter in at STL and remember all day busiest full of TWA’s planes going and coming almost the entire TWA fleet model including the L-1011’s
Those must’ve been the days…sad to see STL the way it is now.
Great video AS Its my dream to fly delta one day!
I've flown this route in First Class years ago, but it might've been a regional. Gonna be watching out for The Pencil next time!

Took the Greyhound bus leaving Champaign at 9pm and reaching STL around 12am. We had a long wait time in the airport.
Got above the fog quick.
From fog or rainy to sunshine in just less than a few minutes done dozen of times.i love to departure same time sun come up LoL 😂
Another Great Report AS! Havent flown Delta Yet do you have any tips?

Some things change, and some things stay the same. Delta still loves their old planes.
@@collinparsons3363 Yep, and I'm happy about that.

@@collinparsons3363 Agreed.
The 753 has always been my favorite aircraft. It’s beyond me why Boeing quit producing them.
🛫
Consider yourself lucky to fly on a 753 for the first time lol.
About time you fly out of St. Louis lol

@@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder I would love to fly from IND again. Great airport, hopefully soon.
Delta never had the 300 variant until they merged with Northwest. Only Northwest and Continental used the pencil.. I worked for Delta and Northwest.
That's correct, I mentioned the -300 fleet came over from NWA at 04:14 in the video.
How did you know ur 758-200s have mechanical issue
The flight attendant mentioned it.
@@ASAviation where
@@ASAviation they don’t have notification
@@ojaaviation onboard the flight they told us why the aircraft changed
What seat
Why is a 757 flying from STL to ATL?
For the summer season there was a lot of demand so Delta scheduled the 757 on various daily flights between STL-ATL and many other domestic markets.
Fantastic flight report! Wish I could fly the 757 but it's very rare to find a flight just in Europe (I believe Jet2 only flies it here) Also what equipment do you usually use to film flight reports?
