  • Thank you for watching! In today's video, we take a look at what it's like to fly on Condor's Boeing 757-300 from Frankfurt to Palma. The Boeing 757-300 (dubbed "The Flying Pencil') is a very interesting plane, which is getting increasingly rare to fly on, and so I was very excited to see what it was like to fly on.

    Once again, I love the history lesson for the airline and the b757, especially the existence of 757-100 variant, learnt a lot this video.

    Looks SO nice wish I could fly the 757, back in the day I had the choice of flying the 747 or the 707 and I picked the 707 because they where more rare and now I live in Nz so I will probably not fly the 757, is there any 707s still flying ? and great video like always I stay up to see them all the time, when a new video comes out I am happy idk why but your videos always put a smile on my face. I can’t wait till your next video if you can you should fly the 767 that’s a great plane, and If there are you should try fly the 747 the only thing I can say about it is that it’s very noisey and economy class is not that good at all so you should try premium economy or business, when I flew the 747 economy from New York to Munich it was a disappointing experience, but when I flew it back in premium economy it was great by far better thanks for reading this Hugo, have a wonderful rest of your day.

      Yeah it was so cool! I hope you get a chance to before they’re gone! Oh wow that’s so cool! Unfortunately the 707 isn’t in passenger service anymore, the last airline to operate it I think was Iran’s Saha Air who retired it I think almost 10 years ago now. Thank you so much! I’m so happy to hear that :D Yeah I’d love to fly on the 767, and I’ve got my eye out for any opportunities to do so, same with the 747. Have a wonderful rest of your day yourself!

    Greetings from Manila. Last week Friday, I flew Cebu Pacific, Airbus A330-900neo for the 1st time from Narita to Manila, flight is 80 to 85% and the flight is good and okay, 4 hours, when I enter the plane from door 1, row 1 and 14 is missing a window and I was surprised and shocked that even though the passenger have a window seat, it's unlucky. But my seat is 14F, a aisle seat on the middle right and last row at the front cabin behind door 2. Unfortunately, no pillow and blanket (even on a 8 to 9 hour flight to Australia and Dubai) headrest, no universal power outlet (only USB, which is appreciated and good to charge my tablet) no air vent and the lavatory has no baby changing table (I use the lavatory at the front behind the cockpit) and soap to wash hand.

      Hello! Oh cool! I’d like to but I’m also a bit scared to try that out. It wasn’t too uncomfortable?

    • @kevin19358
      @kevin19358 Місяць тому

      I see. Okay it's just the seat width, legroom, no back padding, no recline and no air vent.

      For the most part not as good as Asian or Australia-Pacific airlines. But they have their pros as well.
