Just a perfect flight video! Wow. I wouldn't change a thing! Perfect video quality, establishing shots, audio... scene lengths and all the important stuff. I can't stand those vids where they stick the GoPro in the window for the flight. LOVE that you show the cabin during the flight, other people doing their thing, etc Very organic. And its not just this video alone. Outstanding documentary work. I think you're really talented.
This 330 from Alia Jordanian with the whale on the fuselage was only kept for about a year by Azores. They might have kept it for the seasonal Oakland route from Terceira on a weekly basis with Lisbon mainland extension instead of contracting out to a Spanish carrier, though range not needed on other routes.
Thanks for the video, you arrived on the international area because the flight you booked will continue to Boston or Toronto. They fly to Oakland because there is a huge Azorean community in California and you were unable to use the IFE because at that time, Azores Airlines hasn't paid for the movie and music rights...
I'm assuming the service to Oakland, CA is because there is a large group of Azorean/Portuguese descendants there. Also, this looks like the longest-haul plane in SATA's fleet so it may be making the next stop after PDL all the way to Oakland if it is the high-season.
There is a simple explanation for writing on your boarding pass: Gates: 41-47. It helps passengers to go as soon as possible through Passport control to avoid missed flights caused by qeues in this area (altough qeues at passport control are rare). Gates 41-47 are the non-shengen gates :)
In Lissabon bleibt man am besten immer bis das genaue Gate angezeigt wird dort wo die Restaurants, Lounges und Buchhandlung sind. Und dann von dort zum Gate
Wieder ein sehr informativer Reisebericht! Der Shuttlebus hätte auch ein altes Modell aus Berlin sein können, das Farbschema außen ist doch extrem ähnlich :-) Hat das IFE dann noch funktioniert oder war es defekt?
Yeah, and instead of flying that more than capable A330 to Oakland, they wet lease a HiFly A340, which I've flown a few times and detest because this A330 is better in my opinion(and it flies their colors instead of being a white, unmarked aircraft like HiFly's A340)
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D Check out this link for more information regarding our equipment! :D www.simply-aviation.com/equipment/
Awsome flight reports as always! You should try Malta's airport (MLA) Altough it's a small airport there's lot's of light and big windows to spot some birds ;)
Azores Airlines actually flies to Oakland because its cheaper then flying to SFO. Same with Norwegian Air, they fly to Oakland instead of SF (on their route map it says "San Francisco / Oakland")
On what day was this exactly? I'm just curious because I was at Lisbon Airport recently and I was wondering if we were there on the same day! Great report as always!
awesome trip report as always!! it makes me so exciting and i can't help myself being jealous of you!! your videos help me my english too!! i can learn a lot from you!!:) my favorite channel:)
I loved your video and your description all the way, want to ask you 2 things??? Did you liked Portugal ??? And did you do all footage with what??? Nice quality image by the way :) Greetings from Lisbon ;)
Cool report! Is Lisbon Spotter friendly at all? Love boarding wide-body's by bus , it gives a better experience. That said though , I do like a jetway too ! Interesting livery as well , did you come to the conclusion it was a whale or were you not too sure?!
Absolutely no disrespect intended but I find it so funny that all of these YT people become pretend pilots once they learn a few things. I'm a commercial Pilot and absolutely hate being a passenger, when people feel they have to explain everything that's going on! 99% of the time they are wrong. Its quite irritating. This does not apply to you my friend. Its nice to know a little of what is going on as long as it's not broadcast across the cabin. lol. Very nice video. The Azores are beautiful. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
Hey, I can imagine that! I also hate it if people act like they know everything when they in reality don't... Glad to hear we don't apply to that...^^ The Azores really are a stunning place! I really did, thanks for commenting! :D Have a nice day!
I also love airplanes. I don't have one favourite but I really enjoy the new A350 and 787. I'm from Terceira island. If you need any help about the island, tell me. We also can take a coffe!
Hey there... I tought you were from abroad of Portugal! I realy wanted to be a pilot but life turn that down and said, you are going to save lifes. Besides being in health care, im also a singer, as you can see trough my channel. One of my passion, is music. Love photography, dance, airplanes.. I also speak Portuguese, but almost everything is in English cause its my mother language. It would be great to have a coffe (But i dont drink coffe) with you! I heard that Terceira is a very beautiful place to stay and visit. So, hope to enjoy it ;-) You always liked planes?
I love plane videos soon much, on the quality of the flight what would you rate it out of 10? And from personal experience I think you should try Virgin Atlantic and Cyprus airways. Love the video like always :D PS: lovely landing by pilot. (edit: just realised Cyprus airways is out of business :P)
Simply Aviation woooow thanks!!! :D i live in Lisbon, Portugal thats why im asking!!!! Thanks for more videos in Portugal, im sure ill love them all :D thanks
I have flown on the same Plane 4 times in 2017. Only one did the IFE work and only for 20 minutes. They made an announcement which paused the feed then it never worked again. Not only for myself but the whole plane!
Hey there! I am that South African person that wrote comments on your amazing channel before! Just wanted to say that Cape Town International has a KFC as well!!! Come to Cape Town, you'll love the airport! Quiet, not crowded, friendly staff, a lot of daylight, and the beautiful Mother City (that's how we call Cape Town)! I do not know whether you travel for work or fun, but if you travel for fun, seriously consider CPT as a destination! Remember: we have KFCs at our airports!!! :-D
Thanks for making my days happy, i'm young but I might get birthday gift laptop and camera so I can start recording flights like you :D It's my dream :D
When are you going to travel to Mexico? I recommend to you travel to Mexico from France with Air France. Air France travels to Mexico with the Airbus A380. Regards from Mexico City!
All the expense of painting it and they only kept it for a year. I took pictures of it at Ponta del Gada before it entered service. I don't believe it was ever used on the longest flight from Lajes Field Terceira to Oakland CA. during summer operations.
It must have cost a great deal to paint this huge whale on this A-330 and yet was only in service for about two years and has now been disposed of rather than keep it for their only long haul route in summer to Oakland Ca. once a week.
you
did not notice a on/off switch on the IFE screen
Exactly
Thanks for always being on time for your videos ! I truly love your trip reports the most :)
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
I just found out about this channel two days ago but I already love it. Keep up the good work!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!

true, just the flight isn't Ponta Delgada-Oakland but Lajes-Oakland and it's mostly operated by an A340 Hi Fly :)
loved your video , great job showing the airport. I wonder if asked the flight attendants could assist with those tv. They never work for me either.

Great video. love the Azores and SATA. Flew the A310 last year in PDL LIS...and yes. the Whale paint is awesome!!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that, we also flew with the A310 of SATA but this year (trip report we'll be published). :D
I think Ponta Delgada was a "pit stop" because they usually do Lisbon-Ponta Delgada-Boston or Lisbon-Ponta Delgada-Toronto. Great vid :)
Have you pressed the switch on button of the screen? Nice trip report
Hey! They serve Oakland because the Bay Area in California has a ton of Portuguese!
Another great video. Love the terminal tours and a new airline.
Thank you so much! :D
Omg you just brought me memories from Lisbon! My birth place, spending my childhood! Nice video! Liked it :)
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
Another fantastic trip report! I have to say, that has to be one of the most interesting liveries I've ever seen. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks! :D It really is! :D Your welcome, thanks a lot for watching! :D
Toronto Plane Spotter osla to co jsem kdy měla by mít i
Toronto Plane Spotter to že jste na internetu je Jourová a v tom případě
Wieder ein sehr informativer Reisebericht! Der Shuttlebus hätte auch ein altes Modell aus Berlin sein können, das Farbschema außen ist doch extrem ähnlich :-)
Hat das IFE dann noch funktioniert oder war es defekt?
Danke, Ja könnte wirklich so sein. Es ging immer für einen ganz kurzen Augenblick, denke mal das das IFE deaktiviert war.
Please do the video sri lankan airlines full trip report
nice crispy clear picture....great editing. I enjoyed it. Good work
Thank you so much! :D Very glad you enjoyed it!
Schönes Video!Hätte etwas mehr zu essen erwartet, aber das ist scheinbar wirklich ein kurzer Flug...
Ja, ich auch... aber war nicht so schlimm^^
They serve Oakland Ca,because there's a large Portuguese community in San Jose
I know! That's also their longest route!
Raymundus Martini
Raymundus Martini
It’s not just San Jose but the hole Central Valley of California.
Yeah, and instead of flying that more than capable A330 to Oakland, they wet lease a HiFly A340, which I've flown a few times and detest because this A330 is better in my opinion(and it flies their colors instead of being a white, unmarked aircraft like HiFly's A340)
Awesome video! Very steady and smooth video. Did you use some gimbal? What type? Liked!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
Check out this link for more information regarding our equipment! :D www.simply-aviation.com/equipment/
congratulations, good video. A question Why do they never focus on the crew? By principles? even if it's to see the uniform
super video......ponte delgada grössere stadt mit strand oder eher nur startpunkt für weitere touren?
Dankeschön, Nicht nur größte Stadt sondern auch Startpunkt für Touren, generell sind die Azoren keine Destination zum am Strand liegen ;)
Perfect report, love the terminal tours and a very informative video. The captions were the perfect bonus - Thank you for an amazing video!
Thank you so much! :D Very glad to hear that!
nice work as always. iam impatiently waiting to see you on a a310
Thank you! :D Yeah, we might need some time for that since we have a lot of other video to share before that :/
another great video. Keep up the great work
Very nice and helpfull video. May i ask, which camera tripod or stick you are using ?

Azores Airlines actually flies to Oakland because its cheaper then flying to SFO. Same with Norwegian Air, they fly to Oakland instead of SF (on their route map it says "San Francisco / Oakland")
Exactly! I have also heard that the number of people with Portugese decent is higher in the east bay and that's why they serve Oakland...
Good video..What camera did you use for this video?..Thanks
Thank you very much! :D
Check out this link for more information regarding our equipment! :D www.simply-aviation.com/equipment/
On what day was this exactly? I'm just curious because I was at Lisbon Airport recently and I was wondering if we were there on the same day! Great report as always!
That was somewhen in mid August... The 16th, maybe the 17th...
+Simply Aviation I was there on the 9th so I was a bit early I guess! Thanks.
Oh okay...^^ Just a bit!
awesome trip report as always!! it makes me so exciting and i can't help myself being jealous of you!! your videos help me my english too!! i can learn a lot from you!!:) my favorite channel:)

I loved your video and your description all the way, want to ask you 2 things??? Did you liked Portugal ??? And did you do all footage with what??? Nice quality image by the way :)
Greetings from Lisbon ;)
Yes, I really like Portugal! Check out this link for more information regarding our equipment! :D www.simply-aviation.com/equipment/
Cool report! Is Lisbon Spotter friendly at all? Love boarding wide-body's by bus , it gives a better experience. That said though , I do like a jetway too ! Interesting livery as well , did you come to the conclusion it was a whale or were you not too sure?!
Thanks! :D Well that I don't know because I didn't go plane spotting in LIS... It is a whale, I have read that somewhere, I think... :D
It's a sperm whale. It represents the Azores islans, because it's one of the most popular animal in the sea of the Azores.
How long was during the flight?(Sorry,i Am from Holland,My English is not so good☺️)✌️ Nice video!
+jaqueline bo (bo kiki en nina)
Thank you! It was about 2 hours ;)
Sri lankan airlines not coming to Vienna but sri lankan airlines have a flight London Heathrow to colombo with a330-300
How weird about gates 41-47! I believe those are the non-Schengen gates after passport control. Why would they be used for Lisboa to Açores?
Absolutely no disrespect intended but I find it so funny that all of these YT people become pretend pilots once they learn a few things. I'm a commercial Pilot and absolutely hate being a passenger, when people feel they have to explain everything that's going on! 99% of the time they are wrong. Its quite irritating.

Hi, love it the vídeo and im going to travel do açores but going to terceira and by raynair... hope i will enjoy it.
Great! I'm sure that you will enjoy.
Hi there, hope so, cause i love to travel and love airplanes, favourite is Jumbo jet 747-400. I know its a old one, but still like it :-)
I also love airplanes. I don't have one favourite but I really enjoy the new A350 and 787.
I'm from Terceira island. If you need any help about the island, tell me. We also can take a coffe!
Hey there... I tought you were from abroad of Portugal! I realy wanted to be a pilot but life turn that down and said, you are going to save lifes.

I flew back from PDL via Teceria to LIS ;)
That's a mall in the airport ! I've never seen such a big duty free area !
It really is huge! :D
Really great report as always! :)
Thank you so much! :D
Have to google the airline before watching the video, great video as always!
Hahaha, only in this occasion... :D
What a fantastic tripreport mate! Really cool that you got to fly on board their A330 and apparently also their A310! Top-quality video as always! :)
Thank you so much! :D The A310 video will be published soon^^
Simply Aviation Can't wait! :)
that was a "whale" of a plane you were on
Yes a whale that's very common around the Azores. ;)
Simply Aviation haha not funny
A very nice and enjoyable video....thanks!
Thank YOU for watching and leaving this nice comment! :D
Love your feautures. Well done!! Obrigado!!
Thank you Ricardo!
That was an awesome plane. I must say U got a beautiful view in the bus 😁😍
The landing was super smooth!
Thanks a lot! :D
Nice video! It's cool to see this!
Thanks! :D Glad you enjoyed watching it!
Its amaizing place ivist .iwish to leive there for ever.. Azoros my love
wasig osman you got a ugly face
CALIFORNIA, Oakland area and San Diego have one of the biggest azorean/portuguese comunity outside PT
I know! :D
Sehr sehr geil! Gefällt mir sehr gut!
Sehr schön das dir dieser "full GoPro" Trip Report gefallen hat :D
They serve Oakland bc the east San Francisco Bay has a really large Portuguese population
awesome...how was the flight ?
Thanks! :D It was really good...just a bit disappointing the IFE was turned off...
Whats the difference between the A310 & A330? they both have the same seat configuration, i don't get it...
IFE is broken or Deactivated by the crew
Is this SATA? Changed name? A lot of Azoreans in Boston / Oakland. That's why.
The new name of SATA is Azores Airlines... :) But they haven't finished the rebranding yet...
yes its the sam company
Best channel on YT
Thank you so much! :D
The IFEs kinda reminds me of the one on Malaysia Airlines
If the A330 is a newer aircraft model than the A310 obviously, why not call it the A310 ER (ER for extended range)...
Very good. I like the Azores livery.
Thanks! ;D So do I! :D
Is this national flight or international flight?
awsome video,Thanks Simply aviation
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
Good report, could have had a bit more about the in flight details but overall, a good report!
+Ryan Dawkins Which details are missing?
simplyaviation ich will dich was fragen warst du schon mal in einem bombadier cs100 ???
Bis jetzt noch nicht, aber werde CS100/300 sicher bald fliegen :D
+Simply Aviation cool freue mich schon
Can you go in SATA airlines or adores airlines to made ir I know they do
I love plane videos soon much, on the quality of the flight what would you rate it out of 10? And from personal experience I think you should try Virgin Atlantic and Cyprus airways. Love the video like always :D PS: lovely landing by pilot. (edit: just realised Cyprus airways is out of business :P)
6 out of 10 because of too small leg room if your flying long haul, disabled IFE and to less drinks on board.
Simply Aviation Ok, thanks :D
Ahhhh my favourite plane an this livery suites the a330 so much
Cool! :D It's also one of my favourites!
PORTUGAL YEY, did you enjoy the flight, hope u did, Tnks for flying in Portuhal :D
Portugal*
Thanks for asking, I have enjoyed the flight! There will be some more tripreports about flights from, to or inside Portugal coming soon! :D
Simply Aviation woooow thanks!!! :D i live in Lisbon, Portugal thats why im asking!!!! Thanks for more videos in Portugal, im sure ill love them all :D thanks
Thank you so much for your great support, Eric! :D
Simply Aviation you're welcome :D
On Lisbon airport idee those a320 SATA airlines kn the background XD
Cool video i really like the livery :)
Thanks! :D Yeah, that's a truly unique livery! :D
I have flown on the same Plane 4 times in 2017. Only one did the IFE work and only for 20 minutes. They made an announcement which paused the feed then it never worked again. Not only for myself but the whole plane!
+Luis Sousa So sad that the IFE isn‘t working :(
flew on the same aircraft in May, between Ponta Delgada and lisbon, IFE was switched off then, think it's normal for that flight
Cool! :D I think so too...?
Its always amazing I always wait for your videos so much like I wait for a new episode in a series to be released :D
Hahaha! :D Very glad to hear that! Next Fridays report is already finished! :D Want a spoiler?
its fine :)..i like to stay waiting :D
Hey there! I am that South African person that wrote comments on your amazing channel before!
Just wanted to say that Cape Town International has a KFC as well!!!
Come to Cape Town, you'll love the airport! Quiet, not crowded, friendly staff, a lot of daylight, and the beautiful Mother City (that's how we call Cape Town)!
I do not know whether you travel for work or fun, but if you travel for fun, seriously consider CPT as a destination!
Remember: we have KFCs at our airports!!! :-D
Hey there! :D Little spoiler: I will visit Cape Town in October! :D So there's a tripreport coming soon!^^
Oh that's so good to know! If you need to know something about the City, I will gladly try and help you out! Cannot wait to see that tripreport!
Alright! :D I might get back to you about that! Thanks a lot for the help!
Thanks for making my days happy, i'm young but I might get birthday gift laptop and camera so I can start recording flights like you :D It's my dream :D
Nice, hope you'll succeed. ;)
My home airport( Jakarta's CGK airport) also have KFC on terminal 2 😅😅😅, nice report as always!
Hahaha, cool.... I should visit CGK one day! ^^

Hi, I wanted to ask you a question. Is it easy to get a flight at Lisbon airport?
When are you going to travel to Mexico? I recommend to you travel to Mexico from France with Air France. Air France travels to Mexico with the Airbus A380. Regards from Mexico City!
Hmm... I have no journeys planned to Mexico as of now... Maybe somewhen in the future! :D
1:42 i guess you have never been in auckand
Best plane videos in the world
I LOVE INDIAN CUISINE!!!!!!!
Me too! :D
Der A330 Ist eine Schönheit! 😍
Ja das stimmt! :D
All the expense of painting it and they only kept it for a year. I took pictures of it at Ponta del Gada before it entered service. I don't believe it was ever used on the longest flight from Lajes Field Terceira to Oakland CA. during summer operations.
It must have cost a great deal to paint this huge whale on this A-330 and yet was only in service for about two years and has now been disposed of rather than keep it for their only long haul route in summer to Oakland Ca. once a week.
Which date was this because I was at Portela 3 times in August!
Hmmm... I don't know, I think about the 5th or 6th...
Ah ok, never mind!
At my home airport of Detroit all the reastraunts are on one side while bathrooms and mantinence walls and duty free and food on the other
Funny design of an airport! :D
Nice video! Anyway in Budapest airport there is also a KFC😃
Hahaha, cool! :D One more reason to fly from BUD one day!
+Simply Aviation Yeah 😃😂
Will you ever come to schiphol again ?
Shure we'll, in november we're again in AMS ;)
