Hi guys! Apologies for the messed up audio at the end of the video. This is due to some copyright issues with the music which resulted me in editing it out in the end. Hope you enjoy the rest of the video nevertheless.
Finally someone who doesn't make the whole video about landing and take off!! Thanks
Hahahaha...you are right...most videos are just take-off and landing. Well, check out my other videos - most of them are full flights :D
Was going to check this route out at some point but now this video is up I won't need to. Saves my poor legs. ;-) Nice report.
Hahaha noooo! I love your videos! You should go once the MAX finally arrives LOL.
SO PLANE Maybe... I have plans to do HKG-JFK one way in Cathay F, so would need to get back from the east coast cheaply somehow...
Nice! Looking forward to that report :D Getting from JFK to Stewart International might cost more than the flight itself LOL....
I see you missed the MAX thanks to the delays, I changed my trip and pushed it back. It will be for 6 hours.
I prefer the 787 on the BOS/JFK-LGW routes with DY.
When I Travel The World Yeah no MAX...was gutted at first but was a novelty flying on the 800 for 7+ hours 😂
Not been on their 787 yet but I am eyeing up their LGW-SEA route...
Funniest airline review in a long time. Great work!
Woohoo! Thanks for your comment! 😘
2:45 WTF Ryanair makes a soft landing?
Hahahaha.....MEOW!
And ? What's your problem ? Like any other Ryanair's landing is shit ?
Ryanair landing at City of Derry airport is an experience: with such a wee runway they drop that bird HARD on the hydraulics
That's a suprise😂
honestly, had no clue the 737 was capable of or operated on any transatlantic routes!
It's crazy isn't it? But when you think about it, the 737 flies from Scandinavia all the way down to the Canaries and that's probably as long as heading across the pond! Thanks for watching :D
New eco-engines allow the Norwegian 737 aircraft an ETOPS certification. Norwegian’s 737 aircrafts also use the scimitar winglets.
Very nice trip report, nice choice of music, and funny also! Thank you very much!
Hi Viking! Thanks for watching and commenting. Glad you like the video and the music. It always takes me the longest to find suitable music so glad it is appreciated :D
Really liked this, cheers all round when you flew over GLA!
Aww Man! Not First But at Least Watched! Great Video Btw. Loved the Music ;) Safe Travels!
Cheers, Elias
Thanks Elias! Glad you liked the video :D Took me forever to find good music again hahaha
Nicely done! Very entertaining.
Hehehe....glad it was entertaining! Exactly what I was aiming for :D
Love your videos SoPlane! I hope Norwegian will touch down in my hometown Brussels one day...!
Hi Niels! Thanks so much for watching and commenting! Norwegian was great and I'd totally fly with them again. Greetings to Brussels!
I know from New York they fly to Brussels.
Providence and Boston are two completely different cities, they might be close but they are in different states. EDIT: I read your other reply saying Norwegian markets Providence as Boston, typical budget airline. Thinking about using this to fly to Europe from Charlotte through Providence as I like the size and ease.
I know it is such a shame as Providence is such a nice place. I was told that people get on that plane not being aware of Providence at all and hop straight on a bus to Boston. You should totally do it - it's fun taking the 737 TATL....for me anyways haha. And transiting at PVD beats any major airport I would think...
SOPLANE agreed. Recently I have been flying the Sydney-Auckland route down here between Australia and NZ and using the 737 narrowbody beats a big plane anyway of the week. Did that route on A380 and queues for check in, boarding and leaving plane are crazy, I love ease when I travel and the seat size is virtually the same so who cares!
Great Video thanks for making it. Loved the music choices btw keep it up
Aw thanks! It always takes me ages to find good music haha
Nice switch from impulse power to warp drive; liked the high speed cloud surfing and close ups; ta.
+Britt Unculus Hehe glad you liked it 🤗 Check out my other vids...loads more cloudsurfing ☁️🏄
I like your editing style.
Thanks so much! Glad you like my style :D
Great video!
Thank you!
Wow... I was impressed by this flight. It is a truely new service to connect the States with Europe with a narrow body aircraft like the 737 with this kind of low cost service. But there is more to come in the next years with the A321LR I guess. Very interesting and having the whole row for yourself it looked like a relaxed flight. You won´t get any cheaper across the "Big Lake" I guess. Best regards and thumbs up!!
Hey! Thanks for watching and commenting. Yeah, I love the idea of hopping across the big pond on these small planes without having to go through immigration at EWR or JFK which can take forever! You should try it....it was good fun!
Hey, jetzt schiebe ich es mal auf Deutsch hinterher :P Der Gedanke ist wirklich reizvoll. Beim nächsten Urlaub ist es definitv eine Überlegung wert. Bist du dann von Deutschland schon gestartet oder in EDI direkt?
Laid-Back Flights Ja auf jedenfall - Frage ist halt nur, ob man mit oder ohne Gepäck reist. Mein Ticket war spottbillig, weil ich nur mit Handgepäck gereist bin - fürs Wochenende, und auch kein Essen wollte. Ich hatte auch einen Promotarif - £165 retour. Der Normalpreis liegt bei £250 glaub ich. Wenn man da Gepäck dazugibt, ist man schon bei der £300 Marke und da ist der Unterschied zu BA etc bei Transatlantikflügen nicht mehr groß.
Ich wohn übrigens in GLA - wo wir jetzt bald viermal die Woche eine Lufthansa Rotation nach MUC kriegen 😍😍😍
Mhm... ja mit Gepäck wird es direkt teuer, leider. Trotzdem interessant sowas. Achso, mensch ja dann ist es recht passend von dort zu fliegen natürlich :D Für mich ist es dann wohl eher nichts. Der Aufwand nochmal nach England zu fliegen ist dann doch zu groß im ersten Moment, denke ich. Da ist es ab München komfortabler :P
No different than airlines flying 757's over the atlantic and that has been going on for years by multiple airlines. The 737 and 757 have identical interior cabin width.
it's funny though, As a native Rhode Islander I know that the airport isn't even in the city of Providence it is in the city of Warwick about 15 min south of providence
🤣🤣🤣
TF Green forever; I have arrived at 6:20 for a 6:30 flight and made the flight.
Transatlantic on a 737! Must admit, much as I love flying, I don't envy you that!
I loved it! It was great fun on the wee one. Would totes do it again! I really want to go on Westjet from Glasgow to Halifax...that flight is only like 5.5 hours.
SO PLANE I did that in May - it was delayed by half an hour but only cost £200 including baggage for GLA-Halifax-Calgary - great service (Canadian folk are so amazing - my girlfriend is a Calgary lass too lol) and they had ife via app, power sockets, usb, snacks and non alcoholic drinks are free - best part was 30 seats of 130 being occupied on the 737-700 - felt like a private jet!! It was as 5 hour 45 min flight (we then had 7 hour 30 min stopover then 5 hour 30 min 737-800 flight on to Calgary) I return to Glasgow via Halifax in August for same price as outbound leg but it only takes 15 hours including stop instead of the 20 it took the way out to Calgary from Glasgow.
A great fare Mikey.
Hey Mikey! Good to hear that Westjet aren't that bad....half hour delay is nothing! I really want to try them out one day....wonder if I can squeeze them in this summer. 7.5 hour layover though.....what did you do??? Did you have time to do some sightseeing? I might just get out in Halifax...haha
Hey! The staff are so upbeat "let's get this Boeing going" lol we had to go with the long layover of 7.5/8 hours because the other options included 2 stops instead of 1 and the first stop was less than an hour so we didn't want to risk missing an onward flight (we had missed our first flight ever about 3 weeks before with BIMAN Bangladesh in Dhaka because of delays so we didn't want any other issues going forward) so we chilled in halifax airport the whole time before going on to Calgary (the home of westjet and the longest runway in Canada) got my first taste of Canadian beer and nachos in that 7.5 hours ;-) - "New Scotland/Nova Scotia" looks amazing from the sky - very like our Scotland :-)
Great Video
Thanks so much, Thomas! Glad you enjoyed it :D
Nice video. Cheers.
Thanks for watching!
Can't believe this plane is 3 years old already ! Time flies
Hahaha....these babies are growing up fast....hopping around the Atlantic these days!
Really nice video
Thank you, Kamu!
a very comprehensive report, a goo mixed of outside of the aircraft and in-flight entertainment
Thanks for watching and commenting, Frank! Glad you liked it :D
Fantastic to see you do the new service from Edinburgh, I really enjoyed it. Been watching Providence and Newburgh on a daily basis on FR24 and a two hour delay is pretty common. Looks like a good enough product, if only they could improve punctuality, difficult when only 60% of Norwegian flights arrive on time. Didn't realise you were from my home town, liked the way you did the self catering on board. Next time `make yur ain piece` thats even cheaper haha !!!
Hey! Glad you enjoyed it :D I enjoyed the flight as well haha. Don't know what all the moaning is about flying long-haul on a 737! It was fine! I know I had three seats to myself but still. Norwegian is totally fine as well - you get what you pay for. I don't understand people who pay peanuts and then are all up in arms when things go wrong. I would totally fly Norwegian again.....to Providence! Loved that place so much! They say that Seattle is a small version of Vancouver and Portland a small version of Seattle. I would say that Providence is a small version of Portland...haha....it is so weird and quirky.
You're a Weegie as well....pal? haha...I am only an honorary Weegie of 10 years. LOL
Very interesting flight, probably nothing worse than a 737 with no real IFE for 7 hours though lol. Nice to see you got a row to yourself and some pretty good leg room. Thanks for posting, might just skip my flight with them all together on this route after seeing this.
When I Travel The World You know what, it wasn't bad at all. I really enjoyed it. Sort of took me back to simpler times haha. I made sure to have enough stuff on my laptop to watch. Sometimes it really pays to have short legs but guess that having the row to myself did make it hat bit sweeter. The real surprise was Providence itself - loved that place!
You sure you gonna skip it? Feel bad now depriving your followers of this hahahaha
Yeah I guess the IFE won't really be an issue providing you can bring a laptop or something on the plane. Providence is a pretty nice place, I might just push back my flight as far as possible to 100 % make sure i'm on the MAX when its in service.
Looks like the first MAX has arrived in Edinburgh but yeah, wait for a bit longer - as the Irish say - to be sure, to be sure.
They have back-seat TV screens on their 787s but not on the 737s. The only IFE you get is streamed content to your personal device. I assume your flight will be on a 737 to Ireland?
Hi deepseaskate! Yes, I was able to move the armrests fully up. Was that with Norwegian with the 45 degree armrest? I can imagine how that would be frustrating!!!!
Never a peanut allergy announcement
Very considerate
I have had that before - better safe than sorry! I'd rather keep the peanut bags untouched then having to have an emergency landing somewhere haha.
Love this. I’m sure they discontinued this route a long time ago unfortunately ☹️prices were great too!
Glad you liked it! Yes, they pulled this ages ago. It was great for a fun weekend away in the US.
@@SOPLANETUBE ahh indeed it was :(
Awesome review! :D
That must have been a pretty squeezy experience to fly on a 737 for a transatlantic flight lasting more than 5 hours!
Cheers, man! It wasn't too bad for me but I am quite short. Having the three seats to myself did help as well. I thoroughly enjoyed it I have to say but can only imagine what it would be like with other people next to you. I'd totes do it again though. The 7+ hours went by super quickly. Spent a lot of time looking out the window and fiddling around with the wifi. I also made sure I downloaded loads of movies and tv programmes onto my devices.
This new plane is getting old ! 3 years old already! I fly on American Airlines and the first 737 with the sky interior came out in 2011. Now it's already 6 years old and the seats and part of the cabin is worn ! Time flies very fast ! That's a nice vid though I like it 👍🏻
Thank you! Glad you like the video :D The seats were quite worn out on this one as well....after only 3 years but I guess these birds are being utilised to the max!
Very great video.
Thank you so much!
Welcome ;)
Nice video! That's a long flight for a 737!
Cheers, buddy! Thanks for watching :) Have a great new year!
@@SOPLANETUBE Likewise!
Awesome footage, I dunno how I'd feel to fly on a 737 across the Atlantic ! Big like !!
You know what, I didn't mind at all. I found that time passed quite quickly - I just spend a lot of it looking out the window haha.
I'm thrilled to see our local PVD airport start transatlantic service!
However, ironic fact: At the time there were no flights available west of Chicago. (Southwest pulled flights to LAS and PHX years prior; not sure why since every flight was sold out) Frontier recently started DEN flights. I'm hoping these longer flights catch on and stay for good.
Hey James! I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news....both Cork and Edinburgh are going seasonal which means they won't be available all year round. Dublin will be the only year round service.
I hope you can do a Norwegian 737 max trip report, they fly to Newburgh in New York on the max from Edinburgh and some other places in England, also, 100th like!
🎉🎊🎈100 LIKES 🎉🎊🎈 🥂Cheers! Thank you! I wished I could do that haha...need to wait till the MAX is flying on that route permanently (and the prices are cheap-ish)!
Interesting flight! Very nice video! I've tried the 737-700 across the Atlantic with SAS on their CPH-BOS route in economy and it was so weird to cross the Atlantic in such a small plane. But they handed out iPads with a few shows and movies, which was nice, food provided too by SAS. Flying back to Copenhagen tomorrow. Only 86 passengers which is nice. 20 in business and rest in economy.
Wow I am so jealous! Would love to go on that flight! Totally though, it feels weird to hop on a 737 for TATL flight....I loved it! Guess SAS is a bit more service oriented with iPads and food Haha....how long is the CPH-BOS flight?
Very Nice video...
Thanks so much!!!!
+SO PLANE Hi there, loved the video, what camera do you use?
Geraint Atherton Aw thank you, Geraint! I use a Gopro Hero 3+ for the outside shots and a Sony DSC-HX60 for inside shots as well as my iPhone 6. Hope this helps :)
SO PLANE It does, thank you ever so much for the reply!
Geraint Atherton Anytime, no bother 🙌 any other questions, let me know! Don't forget to sub!
AMAZING VIDEO ALL MY FLIGHTS BEGIN AT EDINBURGH AIRPORT (EDI)
Oh great! Thanks for watching!
Welcome to my home airport and state! Hope you enjoy your stay. ;)
I LOVED Rhode Island! I thought it was going to be uptight and boring but I had a fantastic time! Was so sad I only stayed for the weekend....I WILL BE BACK! (for lobster rolls and 1 dollar oysters...hahaha)
I was actually at the airport plane spotting on both Friday and Saturday evenings. If I knew you were coming I would have stayed a bit longer to watch to you land!
Continental Spotter Hehehe...the flight was over two hours delayed! It was so late by the time we got it....
Really? I always thought that Norwegian was an airline that rarely allows delays to happen!
Do I sense some sarcasm there? hahahaha
Another great video.Although are you going to upload the video from Doha to EDI if you created one for that flight ?
Hahahaha I know I still have to do that one! I started it and then the Norwegian one took priority. Soon!!!!
I laughed when I saw you brought Krispy Kreme 😂 You came prepared 😂😂
How else would you survive a flight like this???? It's all about preparation! LOL
Hello! I suggest that every time a trip report is posted the FARE paid is made available. This is what would make this piece a news story and help us monitor what's going on with the low-cost revolution started last year over the Atlantic!
Hi Chris! That makes total sense - should have mentioned it. I managed to catch the promo fare which ended up being 165 pounds excl. extras. Regular basic fare is about 250 I think.
Holy shit!
Providence and Boston are in two different states. Providence is in Rhode Island and Boston is in Massachusetts.
Haha yeah, you gotta tell Norwegian who sell PVD as a Boston airport hahaha
Firstly, It's nice to meet a fellow Glaswegian that's into flying/aviation. I actually live in EDI now and fly with Norwegian regularly and was thinking of doing this exact journey. Glad I found your video. Had been searching on youtube almost every week since the route started flying. Also it's a shame you flew on the 737-800. Norweigian actually had planned to use 2 737-Max's which they got from Boeing recently. Maybe they haven't fully rolled them out officially yet, but I'm sure they have them in their possession. I'm sure the new 737 Max's at least have a USB outlet. Anyways you had the whole row to yourself so that was a nice perk. So I have a couple of questions as I'm thinking of starting to record similar trip reports.
1) Where did you purchase that window mount for your go Pro. Can you share the link?
2) How big of a power bank did you take with you, in terms of mAh? I have a 5200mah one but not sure it would last charging the go pro for 7 hours of continuous filming.
3) What are the other camera's did you use?
4) How do you get steady footagewhen walking around the airport filming? Do you use some sort of gyro stick?
Hey pal! LOL
Glad you found my video :D I was really hoping for the MAX which was initially scheduled for my flight but they had to bring in the 800 due to delays with delivery of the MAX. The first one has arrived in EDI though in the meantime.
USB outlets - no, none of that on the MAX either. I got an email from Norwegian right at the start informing me about he lack of power outlets on the plane and that one should bring their own power pack.
The reason why I had a whole row to myself was because flying the 800 across the pond comes with weight restrictions which mean that they couldn't fill all the seats. Unfortunately (for passengers), this won't be the case with the MAX from what I understand.
Now to your questions (I am digging your numbered bullet points...I always do the same!):
ad. 1) I got it on Amazon - a Joby Suction Cup. I use the one with the locking arm but you may want he GorillaPod Arm www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=joby+suction+cup&rh=i%3Aaps%2Ck%3Ajoby+suction+cup
ad. 2) I have a system for my batteries and SD cards. I have 4 batteries and SD cards, all numbered 1 through to 4. I always use battery 1 with SD 1, and so on.
With the Hero 3+, a battery lasts 2.5 hours. So every 2.5 hours I change battery and SD card. I fully charge all batteries in advance so for the 7+ hour flight to PVD I technically did no have to re-charge any batteries inflight. Best thing would be to run your batteries dry and test how often you can charge it with your 5200mah power pack. Hope this helps?
ad. 3) I use my iPhone as well as a Sony DSC-HX60 (for the amazing zoom). It also has an in-built image stabiliser.
ad. 4) Do you think my walking footage is steady enough? Thank you! Again, I use the Sony DSC-HX60 for it. Picture could be less shaky but I can't get myself to a) pay 200-300 squids for a gimbal, and b) look like a tw*t walking around with a gimbal (that's not fair to those who use it but I prefer to be inconspicuous).
You ever over in Glasgow? If so, give me a shout! Just hit me up on Twitter :D
Thank you soo much for your detailed answer. Will be in touch the next time I'm through to Glasgow and have time for a drink. Cheers pal
finally! I've been waiting for this one haha.. sad the MAX is delayed.. but great video anyway.. 7+ hours in a 738 R.I.P legs haha glad you've got a free row.. these meals are quite expensive.. you defo did the right decision to buy some food at EDI!
Hehehe....it's the same seats as on Lufthansa and Austrian short-haul. The seat pitch wasn't that bad actually but as always, I am pretty short. The free row did make the flight really comfortable. I was told that they had weight restrictions for the 737-800 so can't sell all seats. Once the MAX arrives, I guess this won't happen anymore. I paid for the food on the way back so that will be in the next video...it was good but not worth the price tag!
I have met a bloke from Aberdeen today on holiday the Scots are great aye! Thanks for the trip report appreciate it!
+Lewis Dwyer I am only an honorary Scot but yeah....we are great, aye! Pal! Thanks for watching!!! (PS: The Aberdonians have a funny accent, don't they?)
SO PLANE they do have a wee strange accent and you good sir have earned yourself a sub
+Lewis Dwyer aw thanks! Yeah I had a flatmate from Aberdeen once and whenever his parents came to visit I had no clue what they were talking "aboot" 😂
Us Dundonians have a tricky accent too but we are very braw people in the main ;-)
SO PLANE 😂😂😂😂
Love the trousers and shoes...I NEED THEM IN MY LIFE
Hey Joshua...you must have really good taste...just like me LOL. Shoes are Puma Duplex OG - got them off End Clothing in the sale last year www.endclothing.com/gb/puma-duplex-og-361905-05.html/. Looks like they are sold out now tho. The trousers are from Topman, also from last year.
Awesome job! And I thought a TATL 757 was bad? Aside from my personal preference, I think the ETOPS 73 and 320s are a great thing for America. It gives everyone a chance to explore the world without being limited to the 3 carriers we're left with.
Hey Conor! It wasn't bad at all haha. I agree, they are great and allow airlines to open up new routes, especially TATL. Can't wait to see what other routes will pop up in the future!
Very interesting to see a tripreport of Norwegian's 737 long-haul product! Did not look too bad, but I think I wouldn't like to spend 7 hours on those seats, I already dislike 2 hours on Lufthansa seats which look almost the same! ;) But I don't want to complain, the Norwegian product is absolutely okay if the prices are low, you get what you pay for! Very nice video mate, liked a lot! :)
You are right, the seats were the same as Lufthansa shorthaul. It's funny, I think I am the only who likes them! Maybe they work well for people as short as me haha. And, yes...I only paid £165 for the ticket...and at these prices you just can't complain about anything! But yeah, I really enjoyed it - besides the 2 hour delay, it was a pretty solid flight and I'd do it again.
Lufthansa is a disaster. I prefer these seats. Legroom looks better than Lufty.
i like this guy
I like you too! LOL
Perfect. Many of Norwegin new transatlantic routes are less thn 6 hours from the US to Irelnd. B737 offer better leg room than B747, still in use.
Yeah but unfortunately the Scotland routes are going seasonal which is a shame. It's pretty fun flying across the pond in a 737! You should try it.
PVD and BOS are different airports in different states.
Haha yeah, you gotta tell Norwegian who sell PVD as a Boston airport hahaha
No different than Southwest advertising Manchester and Providence as "Boston".
Doesn't/t Norwegian also sell Oakland as San Francisco? haha
And PVD isn't even in Providence. At least BOS is in the city it claims to be
6:23 did they screen record that from a roblox game lol
Rocky Mountain Aviation Omg true 😂
How about the premium class, do they offer this on this route with the 737?
Hey Äneas! No, all economy on the 737s.
I wouldn't be very happy if had a seven hour flight with no in flight entertainment. Flights don't come cheap these days, I think I would have felt ripped off. Was this the original plane or a replacement for one that broke down hence the delay at Edinburgh.
Putting things in perspective - I only paid £165 for the return flight. This is nothing and for this price I was happy not to have proper IFE, food, or checked luggage! This was a promotional fare - the cheapest basic tickets you can get now come to about £260? At this price point, I would still be happy to pay it if I was going for a weekend and didn't need any checked luggage. Once you add on the luggage, you already get into the territory of cheap legacy airline fares to the US East Coast. In that case (at around £300, I'd just go with a legacy airline, maybe pay a bit more - and get food as well.
This was the original plane - it just came in late from Oslo.
I thought a 757 was pushing it for a transatlantic flight (LTN-BGR); also Boston is in Massachusetts, and Providence is Rhode Island, and they have what to do with the other? beats me
Tell me about it! Calling Providence Boston is such an injustice! It's like Paris Beauvais - Beauvais is nowhere near Paris. Ryanair also sold Bratislava as Vienna for a while....haha...I spoke to someone who said that people are getting off that Norwegian flight and aren't even aware of what Providence actually is since PVD is sold as Boston. I stayed in Providence for a few days and had the time of my life! Loved it!
Darrell Nichols Just a short MBTA commuter rail trip away
That’s the funniest safety video I’ve ever seen the plane looked like something from roblox and the kid is wearing a TEAM 10 shirt lolololol
Hahahaha....it is....budget? LOL
Uh oh the trainee broke the Gangway 😂😂
It was quite comical as we had already been delayed for like 4 hours and everybody was like...oh whatever..(sorry for the late reply!)
Thanks for video! This looks like their 6h flights from the Nordics to the Canaries, you'll survive but I wouldn't call it fun..
+mikrokupu hahaha....I can see that but I guess getting off the plane in the US after 7 hours is more exciting (for me anyway). Just the fact that you can hop on a 737 in EDI and 7 hours later you are in New England...you can work most of Friday, get on a plane and be in the US in time for dinner. Fab for a long weekend away LOL
Providence isn't Boston.
Oh tell me about it! Norwegian sells Providence as Boston which is so not fair! It's like Paris Beauvais or Vienna Bratislava what Ryanair does. Bratislava is miles away from Vienna and not even the same country LOL. I was told that people get off these flights and don't have a clue about Providence as they are heading for Boston. I stayed in Providence for the weekend and was glad I did it - had a blast! On my return, I got an email from Norwegian asking me how my trip to Boston was ....so I let the Providence tourism board know LOL
That is odd, because Norwegian actually flies to Boston.
@SO PLANE Norwegian flies to Boston Logan or JFK only when they have Caribbean Ops on their next flight with their 737,PVD is only an Operating base of their 737 transatlantic🌞BTW a very excellent video😉
There's a train station inside PVD airport. Hop on and you're in downtown Boston in about an hour.
I’m curious - How often do you get free seats next to you? I generally fly EDI-LHR-(somewhere in the US) 4-8 times a year and haven’t had anyone next to me in about 20 flights. Domestically, I do more often, but it’s still probably 50/50. Am I just a master of seat selection?
Like never....these flights were an exception because the 737-800 comes with weight restrictions which means they can't sell all the seats - will change once the 737MAX takes over the route. You are really lucky....or maybe you just smell? LOL.....
Great video. I'm going to be flying from Dublin to Stewart International in a month's time, so I know what to expect in terms of leg room and that. :)
Hey Padraig! Thanks for watching and awesome that my video has helped you :D I fairly enjoyed my flight with Norwegian and you will too. It is a low cost airline so as long you keep that in mind you should be fine. Make sure to bring a tablet and a battery pack!
On flightradar i was looking on the flights over atlantic ocean k saw a 737 thus airlines from Edinburgh to America it wasn't yiu I thought to myself dude that's crazy
It totally is cray but when you think about it, flights from US East to West coast are about the same length....only difference is that you are flying over water haha....
Ikr
I see you use plane finder! I agree it is something you can rely on.
I love it! We use it all the time at home hahaha. It was such a shame though that there were hardly any planes close enough for me to see on this flight....
7hr flight, only entertainment system is the small tv hanging from the roof with bad movies what a nightmare. And i didnt know a 737-800 could fly such a long distance.
They do have the streaming content, so it's not all bad. However, without power plugs, you need to bring your own power pack. To be honest, I just stared out the window for most of it. Haha. The 738 did this route initially as there was a delay in the 737Max delivery. It came with weight restrictions, which is why I manage to get a row to myself! It only cost £150 return so can't really complain.
I went on a Norwegian flight from New York where I live to Sweden I was stuck in Sweden for 6 hours after that I went to Paris-Orly! 😁
Was your flight delayed?
No I did a layover in Sweden 🇸🇪 @SOPLANE
Ah ok that's not too bad then haha. Sweden is soooo expensive though!
It was kind of expensive all I did in Sweden was eat and watch ✈️ take-off And land😏
Sound like 6 hours well spent to me hahaha
was that a Sony RX100 Mk1 you were using.
Hi there! I use a GoPro Hero 3+ ebay.to/2ga0Qss and a Sony HX-60amzn.to/2yh5nTT for my videos. Hope this helps!
Great editing, nice clip! I didnt realize Norwegian were actually doing these routes before the 800 MAX arrived - interesting... sort of reminds me of my very first US journey from Sweden to FLL on a MD83 - well of course it required severeal refueling stops, ut the comfort...or well lack there of...
Say whaaaat???? Transatlantic on an MD83??? How many stops were there? Yeah, they have been flying the 800 across the pond from EDI while waiting on the MAX. This is why I had 3 seats to myself! Using the 800 TATL comes with weight restrictions so they can't sell all the seats hehehe
Lucky you were by your self ! You got 4 hours of plane spotting. I usually travel with my girlfriend it would of been 4 hours of shopping for me. Lol
Hahahaha! I know....the 4 hours went by really quickly. Edinburgh airport is soooo busy...too busy maybe. The terminal was packed on that Friday afternoon.
Free wifi is awesome, which is why I wanted to fly with them. To have it with no AC or USB, is just wrong.
The snacks were hella expensive.
I was surprised they had free wifi but it was too slow to do anything fun haha. I was prepared and brought some battery packs - only downside was that that ate into my hand luggage entitlement of 10kg. You can pre-order a hot meal but that comes at £20 which is a lot. I just spent that money to buy snacks at the airport.
How was the customs at TF Green?
Was pretty quick! It's such a small airport there were just the people from our flight.
Broad City is one of the best comedy shows of recent yrs! Though season 3 wasn't AS good as season 1 & 2!
😂😂😂 I might have to give it another chance then!
how does the 737-800 have the range to fly this route?
They can't sell all seats which is why the last three rows were empty - hence, I got three seats to myself :D
Shame it wasn't a 737 Max, nice video bud.
I know tell me about it! Was gutted when it became clear that the Max wasn't going to be delivered in time for my trip.....Thanks for watching!
nice video, but why did you check in if you only had hand luggage?
Thanks, mate! Because it was a flight to the US, you have to present yourself at the check-in counter so that they can check your passport. So you don't actually get a mobile boarding pass for this one.
Wow! Fantastic trip report here! Really enjoyed it! Interesting to see what it's like to fly on long haul with the 737! I caught the first flight out of Cork. They don't seem bad! What would you rate them out of 10?
Did you go to Providence as well? I loved it there and can't wait to get back! I would give them a solid 8 out of 10. I went in knowing they were a low-cost airline and adjusted my expectations accordingly. The two hour delay didn't bother me much. Usually when people complain about Norwegian I think they have unrealistic expectations, comparing it to legacy airlines.
SO PLANE No! I caught it out of Cork
Oh hahaha...well, you should actually catch it and head out to Providence. Totes worth it! LOL
How long were you delayed in total? I am sure the broken jetway added some more time to the delay.
All in all it was about 3 hours but I didn't mind. The pilot's delivery of the bad news re. broken jetway made up for everything hahaha.
Wait, was there any power outlets?
Nope, nada!
Fly LGW-BOS. 787 with power outlets, IFE, and a departure time an hour later than what they say it is. Only main downside is that Gatwick sucks.
I was expecting the 737 MAX which has a decrease in fuel burn and increase in range. I suspect the 737-800 had a deliberately low passenger count in order to achieve it's trip range. A fully loaded 737-800 would not only be too heavy to take off, it would also be unable to reach it's destination.
I reccomend you have a look at secretyflying.com for cheap flights over the atlantic, flew across the states 3 times last year with BA for just over £200 return (thanks to error fares), including a trip to peru for £240. Flying to cuba in Nov with aeromexico for £130 return from AMS. Not a paid advertisement, just making you aware of other methods you can fly cheaply.
I was expecting the MAX as well when I booked it but as you probably know there were delays with its delivery to Norwegian.
Yes, the flight wasn't full because flying the 800 on this route comes with weight restrictions - lucky me haha!
I already check secret flying every now and then. Unfortunately, I am not that flexible time-wise that I can just book trips randomly. But thanks anyway :D
what App is 1:31???
How would you rate Edinburgh airports security ? I'd say its one of the fastest around.
Edinburgh it usually pretty efficient - I like to refer to it as organised chaos! When you get through the barrier, you end up in a what is basically a holding area and you have to fight your way through to where the queues usually start. The space is quite limited and can be a bit claustrophobic at times I think. I do prefer Glasgow I have to say....
Is the wifi connection unlimited use or do you only get enough for 1 message before you have to mortgage your house to get inflight wifi?
The wifi is pretty slow and quite useless for anything fun...I was only able to tweet text and not pictures. And even if you were willing to mortgage your house, they don't give you that option.
SO PLANE seems good wanting to try out the Norwegian transatlantic but I'm rather tempted to go to Canada from Glasgow instead
It was great fun going on Norwegian, especially for £165. Halifax on Westjet is on my bucket list but just too expensive for what it is...lol.
SO PLANE yeah probably cost more to fly to EDI or GLA from LSI than it will to hop across the pond and back
Plug your headphones in for sound
🤣
Why's it such a small plane?
It's a secondary thin route - they wouldn't be able to fill a large plane for such a flight. The 737 is perfect for this.
How much did you spend on this trip totally including food and transfer to Boston?
Hi Cristoffer! I used the promotion that was on at the time and paid £165 return for the ticket. I didn't pay for pre-paid meal which costs £20 but bought sandwiches at the airport. I didn't pay for luggage either. The one thing I paid for was seat reservation which costs £20 - this allows you to choose your seat and also move your seat if needed (which I did to ensure I had nobody next to me). I did't go to Boston - the reason I mentioned Boston is that this route is sold as Boston by Norwegian (and a total injustice as Providence was amazing and is a great destination in itself).
where does the crew rest? :D and how much did you pay for the ticket?
The 737 is especially equipped with ...jumseats for crew members 🤣 the tickets were a bargain - £165 return!
Sheeesh unbelievable 7h on a 737 :00
on the boeing 787- dreamliner. there is a usb port
yeah, there is nothing on the 737s....no USB port.
why didnt you fly the 787 dream liner
You mean the 787? It was more fun flying a 737 across the big pond!
Never thought 737-8's had the range with the required emergency fuel, get ready for Ryanair flights that are cheaper than a taxi from a night out :)
The 737-800 came with weight restrictions which means they didn't sell all seats to make it lighter.
What is that airline something lingus and its planes are green where are they from is what planes do they fly
Hey Life guard! You are talking about our Irish friends - Aer Lingus ☘️ www.aerlingus.com. They fly A330s and 757s long-haul (and sometimes 767) with an Airbus and ATR short-haul fleet. Hope this helps!
Jar dropping moment @12:56!!! 😍
😂😂😂 🍩😍🕺
The sky interior looks nice although I'm not a big fan of the Boeing 737. I prefer narrow body airbuses as they are usually more quiet when you board, the windows are higher so you get a better view and they are more comfortable
Wow I love my planes but I have never made those observations! I am guess I am quite short so I don't really notice a height difference when it comes to the windows. I like the 737 because it is a bit more rough around the edges. It was pretty noisy sitting right in the back but I like that! You get to feel the plane. I am a sucker for turboprops as well and those wee ones are a hell lot more noisy!
SO PLANE on the Boeing 737 I always pick the front of the back ! It is a lot more noisy when you sit over or near the wing ! You hear the fuel pumps a lot more
cool
Thank you! Glad you liked it :D
Last year I flew on American Airlines from New York to Edinburgh. I landed on time, but my luggage didn't arrive. I go to the baggage claim (British Airways handled it) and the baggage claim representative looks things up and giggles. She tells me my luggage went to Las Vegas. Go figure. Baggage handlers must randomly throw your luggage on whatever plane they feel like. My baggage eventually arrived the next day.
+roachtoasties Hahahaha that must have been a fun trip for your bag LOL. Shame you cant claim any miles on that!
BA always used to lose my luggage. I just arrived with the expectation of not having to schlepp my case home myself 😂
i would hate to take a 737 for a 7 hour flight. but good video
Hehe yeah I wouldn't want to do this on a completely full flight but then again I paid hardly anything for it.
Do the seats recline at all?
They do a bit but not much.
Is it worth the money. I was thinking about getting this from Cork.
Hi IrishAviation! It depends - I used the promotion they had on which came in at 165 pounds return. I only paid extra for seat reservation as I needed a window seat (£20). I only stayed for the weekend so only had carry on with me.
If you add in all extras without a promo fare, then I feel that there is not much difference to legacy airline fares to be honest. I think the regular fares from EDI are about 250 pounds return excl. extras - guess it's roughly the same from Cork?
From a plane geek perspective though, I thought it was fun to be on a 737 for 7+ hours. Also, Providence and surrounding areas are totally worth a visit. I had no expectations and had a blast.
SO PLANE OK. Thank you
Hope it all made sense!
Haha I flew the 787 from chopenhagen with norwegian and we had sunset for around 5 hours lol
LOL what time does that flight leave CPH?
