im a pilot and aircraft technician. it is a scary deal when the pilot encounters freezing point of fuel. that 340 can fly really far non stop. that flight is long and having no contact midway over the ocean is challenging. thumbs up to those pilots who fly that route. really nice video sam chui.
I did both flights last year (EZE-SYD - SYD/EZE) and they were simply amazing. Remember when flying from Buenos Aires to Sydney, there was no night the whole route (about 16 hs). What a pity this transpolar flight was discontinued.
Thank you Aerolineas Argentinas and its many good employees for getting the ball rolling on this route and keeping it rolling, it showed real foresight, entrepreneurship and commercial aviation planning and skill and I hope it always remains profitable for you, it has facilitated a lot of good connections between more and more families and so many friends also encouraging commercial enterprises spread between South American nations and Australia/ New Zealand.
Excellent video, Sam! Yet another unique flight in your logbook. To have a cockpit visit in flight and the pilot explaining the significance of southern polar was outstanding!
What an amazing video! It’s sad that after 34+ years AR’s transpolar flight will come to an end. The part where the FO explains the route was excellent, especially when he went into the technical details. Many thanks for sharing this! You’ve really dwarfed the quality of the videos in my channel with this one (check it out by the way). I’ve flown tons of times with AR, mainly on the EZE-MAD route and several times they let me into the cockpit, inflight and during take offs and landings, even in the 747-200. Since 9/11 attacks, they said that they wouldn’t allow in the flight deck any “non-crew” person again. It’s good to see that they’ve let you in and sincerely hope that this fact won’t put into jeopardy their jobs. Hopefully Aerolineas Argentinas will become again what it used to be in the past in terms of service and worldwide presence. Enjoy Buenos Aires!
Wow! Thank you sam for share this video, im watching this video 8 years later 😅😅 now AR don't have this route and they have the A330 but i loved this video and is amazing
Great video.-....I ve shared it with all my friends who love aviation. I love the fact that Sam Chui cuts Valeria Lynch " Loco" song after the pilots'route exposition...It just fits
Great video sam , I flew with them back in 2008 via Auckland , hehe it was experience , I thought I had gone back in time with no PTV, and on way home we flew over southern antarctic they even told us so we could look out at the ice was s blinding white even from the height we was at...I wouldn't fly them again but certainly an experience...
Looking forward now to fly Aerolineas from New York to Buenos Aires in November, they look like a very promising airline. And the new livery looks fantastic!
I've flown that route many times with AA, always a good experience, good food, always on time.. haven't been to Bs. As. in the past two years. If I have to do it again. i'll always choose them.
Excelente información que nos brinda el Primer Oficial del vuelo. Muchísimas gracias de todos los que amamos la aviación por abrirnos la puerta de la cabina y explicarnos lo maravilloso e importante de este vuelo tan especial. Gracias por el esfuerzo en expresarte en ingles ya que no es su idioma natal por lo visto. Gran aporte para la comunidad. Thank you very much to the First Officer To open the door and let Mr. Sam Chui get into the cockpit and to explain all the community so many important facts of this very special flight and its risks. Thank you also to put the best of you trying it in english even this is not his mother language !!
Excelente la explicacion del primero oficial sobre la ruta a seguir, la verdad me hubiera gustado viajar en el tramo del transpolar, que hacia la escala en la USH, al menos para probar lo que es viajar en 340, pero lamentablemnte la ruta ha sido desprogramada por AR. Una pena. Thanks a lot Sam for showing your experience on an AR flight, hope you enjoyed your travel and our beautiful country, so as we do. I tell u you`re going to my favs right now. Keep on flying!
Actually I think the JFK-FAOR route operated, by South African Airways, is the longest A340 route. I've flown on it, and I believe it was 15hrs and 26min or sometimes longer.
Los pioneros de los vuelos transpolares fue en 1956 la SAS Scandinavian Airlines Sytem con DC6 B Y 1957 DC7 C a pistón.Eso era volar, con sistemas más rudimentarios una verdadera hazaña .En el vuelo de Aerolíneas ya utiliza 747 200 tecnología de avanzada.
asi es A.Argentinas creo el primer vuelo transpolar de B.A ,New Zealand ,Australia, y luego en conjunto con Qantas,habia bastante buena relacion.Mas tarde aparecio Lan asociado con British A.or Qantas.Lamentablemente 2014 A.Arg,se le cerro esa ruta aera.
It is a pity that they have closed this route, but there are two reasons, one was the high cost of the same and was not at all profitable and another was the withdrawal of the A340-200 of the fleet that were the only aircraft capable of achieving this route so long for more than 16 hours from Buenos Aires to Sydney and 14 hours from Sydney to Buenos Aires non-stop. Currently the fleet of long-range is composed of A340-300X and by A330-200 and none of these aircraft is capable of doing the route as well that was discontinued. In 2015 he will be Air New Zealand which reconnect Oceania with Buenos Aires thanks to its code-share with Aerolineas Argentinas with which the passengers of NZ will be able to make connections to all of South America with AR and its network of destinations on the continent.
+LimaVictor85 You named it, hope that Aerolineas sometime resume EZE-SYD or EZE-AKL-SYD on a new fleet able to get Oceania nonstop, hope that AR will get an A350
hola gente acaba de ver el vídeo y por lo visto viajo en turista, la pregunta que tengo es puedo pedir ver al piloto en pleno vuelo ya que me interesa mucho la aviación es la primera vez que voy a volar y necesito sacarme esa duda
You said "i was asleep solid" ...... and the Antarctic (South Pole) you saw only on the sheet of the pilot route ..... (which, by the way, was new zealand - Argentina) because even the windows you see. The earth is flat !!! and the Antarctic is the edge that would be seen by the right windows .... 3000 miles
Bueno fuera lo tradujeran al español. Ese vuelo va sobre el paralelo 38. Hay muchas dudas sobre ese trayecto y los mapas. Well outside they will translate it into Spanish. That flight goes over the 38th parallel. There are many doubts about that route and the maps.
Nada que ver...Ese vuelo en la ida (Buenos Aires-Sydney) llegaba en su parte mas austral dentro del circulo polar antártico (latitud 66°34')...En la vuelta iba un poco mas al norte del circulo por el tema de vientos de cara.
my dad is the first officer in command, very proud!!!
Que genio kudos. Dile que tiene una hermosa hija :)
Really .. amazing .. i m a flatearther 😬😁
Felicitaciones! Una lástima no volar más esa ruta
your father is good human being
Hi flies 330 nowadays?
im a pilot and aircraft technician. it is a scary deal when the pilot encounters freezing point of fuel. that 340 can fly really far non stop. that flight is long and having no contact midway over the ocean is challenging. thumbs up to those pilots who fly that route. really nice video sam chui.
I was impressed with the captain. I didn't expect him to be so engaging.
The rest of the world airline pilots. -American,United,Delta. Are not politically or afraid to talk to everyone.
Because if he were from the US, UK, Aus, etc, would have ignored the pax. They have got an attitude
I did both flights last year (EZE-SYD - SYD/EZE) and they were simply amazing.
Remember when flying from Buenos Aires to Sydney, there was no night the whole route (about 16 hs). What a pity this transpolar flight was discontinued.

Bravo, Sam! I believe it's the best flight report I've ever seen. So sad that Aerolineas Argentinas decided to discontinue transpolar flights.
Excellent video, Sam! Yet another unique flight in your logbook. To have a cockpit visit in flight and the pilot explaining the significance of southern polar was outstanding!
Orgullo argentino para el mundo!!! Proud Argentinian for the world!!’
Thank you Sam....very interesting and informative. Gracias al FO por su amabilidad y profesionalismo.
This is why i pay for internet. Amazing video. Proud of that Argentinian pilots, amazing work of their part and thank you Sam to share it.
Well that's Argentina for you! 😂😂 This includes the football team too! You know how Argentina won the World Cup? Yeah, That's why.
amazing... all this time only stories from northern transpolar route... great stuff Sam!!
excellent video. always amazed at the extent we can go with aviation. Im so glad the pilots were able to explain everything to you
what an awesome doco! thanks sam chui for posting this. can't wait for part 2.
Great Job, AGAIN !!! :-) The pilot explaining the fuel freezing temps was great.
Sam! Thats so amazing and the view and the videos from that years! Amazing job and experiences! Grettings from Colombia!
Almost thought I was watching a JustPlanes video, great job as always, Sam!

I did the flight in the flight simulator, and it was a grand polar experience. 13h23 min for my gate to gate. Wonderful video!
what a fantastic captain...salute.
Even I understand. Thank you captain for your time.
Great video sam , I flew with them back in 2008 via Auckland , hehe it was experience , I thought I had gone back in time with no PTV, and on way home we flew over southern antarctic they even told us so we could look out at the ice was s blinding white even from the height we was at...I wouldn't fly them again but certainly an experience...
What an incredible video! I remember aerolíneas argentinas used to have this route made by the 747-4
And the Reful - Stop was in XXX for 2.5 Hours.
Los pilotos Argentinos son únicos!! The Argentinian pilots are the best!!
que grandes nuestros pilotos
+Dario H Castro Como dejaron este boludo emtrar con una camera en la cabine?
no era cualquier boludo.... tenia una camara XD
Es porque estaban en crucero.
Great video!
Sam this aged very well, watching in 2023 and still excellent video! Enjoyed immensely.
I love it how the flight attendant looks at the ticket and points towards the aircraft!
Thanks, I would have gone left...
Looking forward now to fly Aerolineas from New York to Buenos Aires in November, they look like a very promising airline. And the new livery looks fantastic!

I love these pilots, so cool.
Great video Sam! Nowadays due to covid-19 AR is making this fly but not transpolar, they use a 330 etops180
excellent video
muy buen video!!! Saludos desde Buenos Aires.
the first officer who speaks english is very knowlegable, i keep repeating this video, i learn alot from this
English is required for all airline pilots. Universally
Excelente y muy interesante video. Si me permiten una observacion, la cancion de Maria Conchita no le va pero nada al contenido.
+Amino Buana El chabon parece ser yanqui, le gusto la cancion y listo
Absolutely great video! subscribing...

Thanks a lot Sam for showing your experience on an AR flight, hope you enjoyed your travel and our beautiful country, so as we do.
I tell u you`re going to my favs right now.
Keep on flying!
Alejandro Dadamia Argentina is one of my favourite countries that I really want to visit someday.
Tanmay i hope you have a great experience here, when you decide to visit. Welcome!
Sam, Thanks for your great video again. Your captain was such a charming and genial man, but sam What was the beginning background song?
Muy bueno ! Like
You are lucky guy! Abrazos!
Great job explaining, Marcelo! This is an example of what Operational Level 4 means, well done!
Actually I think the JFK-FAOR route operated, by South African Airways, is the longest A340 route. I've flown on it, and I believe it was 15hrs and 26min or sometimes longer.
Uma excelente companhia aérea, como a TAM é aqui no Brasil a Aerolineas é na Argentina...
yo viaje con Tam y fue muy bueno el trato y la atencion a bordo,,
can anyone tell me the name of that song and artists name ,thanks great video
Los pioneros de los vuelos transpolares fue en 1956 la SAS Scandinavian Airlines Sytem con DC6 B Y 1957 DC7 C a pistón.Eso era volar, con sistemas más rudimentarios una verdadera hazaña .En el vuelo de Aerolíneas ya utiliza 747 200 tecnología de avanzada.
Great Video Sam. Always wonder how your allowed on the flight deck these days with all the restrictions and rules
Probably with him being such a prolific aviation photographer on sites such as Airliners.net
asi es A.Argentinas creo el primer vuelo transpolar de B.A ,New Zealand ,Australia, y luego en conjunto con Qantas,habia bastante buena relacion.Mas tarde aparecio Lan asociado con British A.or Qantas.Lamentablemente 2014 A.Arg,se le cerro esa ruta aera.
Hey bro
Nice video
I'm from of Argentina
Saw LV-ZPX at Victorville Airport last summer.
I think it is stored at now, not sure about the future of this aircraft.
It is a pity that they have closed this route, but there are two reasons, one was the high cost of the same and was not at all profitable and another was the withdrawal of the A340-200 of the fleet that were the only aircraft capable of achieving this route so long for more than 16 hours from Buenos Aires to Sydney and 14 hours from Sydney to Buenos Aires non-stop.

+LimaVictor85 You named it, hope that Aerolineas sometime resume EZE-SYD or EZE-AKL-SYD on a new fleet able to get Oceania nonstop, hope that AR will get an A350
LimaVictor85 yes after all was A.Arg ,who does created that route.From 2014 ,for different reasons, doesn't go any more.
Aerolineas Angelina's hopefully will order the A350 1000. Or 787-10 to continue this route.
Awesome!
Muito bom video didatico esse com caracteristicas dessa Rota!!!!!
AR pioneered this first Southern Trans Polar Route 👏
hola gente acaba de ver el vídeo y por lo visto viajo en turista, la pregunta que tengo es puedo pedir ver al piloto en pleno vuelo ya que me interesa mucho la aviación es la primera vez que voy a volar y necesito sacarme esa duda
la musica de cuarta,, hay tanta musica buena para agregar
Lastima que no aparezca la pestaña de subtitulos,me parece interesantisimo el video,que me gustaria resubir a mi canal (con agradecimientos,claro)
Me gustaron el tanguito y la zamba como fondo musical.
Lo mato al piloto con el ingles jajajajajja :)
Great Video! Thanks! But tell me: how comes that you know MCA´S "La Loca" ?? :-D
You said "i was asleep solid" ...... and the Antarctic (South Pole) you saw only on the sheet of the pilot route ..... (which, by the way, was new zealand - Argentina) because even the windows you see. The earth is flat !!! and the Antarctic is the edge that would be seen by the right windows .... 3000 miles
Como extraño este vuelo😔
Perfect video! Lucky to get into the flight deck. What was the music?
Music is Maria Conchita Alonso - "La Loca".
Ya un veterano del cielo
Remarkable, I hope one day I do get a chance to visit Argentina, flying the transpolar route. By the way, what's the title of the song in this video?
+hkdiva2015 the name of the song is "La Loca" by Maria Conchita Alonso
Bueno fuera lo tradujeran al español. Ese vuelo va sobre el paralelo 38.
Hay muchas dudas sobre ese trayecto y los mapas.
Well outside they will translate it into Spanish. That flight goes over the 38th parallel.
There are many doubts about that route and the maps.
Nada que ver...Ese vuelo en la ida (Buenos Aires-Sydney) llegaba en su parte mas austral dentro del circulo polar antártico (latitud 66°34')...En la vuelta iba un poco mas al norte del circulo por el tema de vientos de cara.
Uma das mais longas Rotas Aereas do Mundo,deve ser feita agora com os A340-500 que estao chegando!
no diversion airports for emergency landing,some parts of the route have no radio contact,and sometimes the fuel will freeze, no thanks.
1° junio 23hrs pm, despego vuelo de aerolineas argentinas hacia nueva zelanda ✈🇦🇷🇬🇸
yes very good ! do one on the new brazil to mexico city on latam a350 ! they have just lauched
¡ Qué canción estupenda !
