Awesome video Peter! The B757 is my favorite plane. So classic and powerful, the sound from those Pratt and Whitney engines are unmatched. The Rolls Royce RB211 engines have that unique sound as well. Love your knowledge of ATC, I retired from Air Traffic Control recently after 34 years as a Center Controller at NYARTCC. Keep up the great work!
Congratulations for almost surpassing 3.60K subs, Peter! Your channel growth is like a SR-71 jet. Your August 2021 LGA update has almost hit 1K views already. This is an another great video.
Love the 757, and love the views out of jfk and into Vegas, my hometown. Some people find the views of the desert coming in boring, but it’s always my favorite part of the trip because to me that means I’m home!
Hey Peter, per usual... great content. Last year I had the opportunity to Fly on AA's Triple 7 (777) from FLL-JFK First Class (American Flagship First). As you described in great detail, my experience too, was very much identical. Right up to the boarding phase and utilizing 2 of the left entry doors, with First Class to the left and business to the right, followed by Premium & Coach. I too had access to their Lounge (Admirals Club), Priority Check-in and a personal favorite of mine, the Priority Baggage Retrieval. They tag your luggage, this way when you reach your final destination, your luggage comes up first. The only differences between your fight versus mine, first being the 3 cabins. 2nd, all of the First Class Seats we like pods. Individual pods with lie-flat seat. However unlike the 757, the 777 allowed you to exit your seat without disturbing your seat-mate. (Obviously due to the aircraft being a wide-body, thus having 2 aisles). There was also a small type (wall - for lack of a better word) partition for added privacy. Only to be used once the aircraft reached cruising altitude. (Sort of like 4 jetBlue's Mint Single Seats). If you haven't tried jetBlue Mint, give it a shot. I know, I know, I know, you're an Delta person but if ever you do decide, try their Mint Class. 3rd... the Entertainment System. In my opinion... it was out of this world. You were able to start a "chat-room" amongst the fellow passengers, touch-screen monitors, Bose Headphones, and movies. I purposely selected that flight because it allowed me the opportunity to fly on their Triple 7. I often search their schedules just to see what aircraft are flying that route. Although one would think that the 777 would be over kill for such a short flight due to it's size. But the flight was actually FULL, OVERSOLD, with vouchers in excess of $1000, were being offered. Had this NOT been a 777, I would've definitely accepted the offer, also considering they offered me more compensation, 1st class on the next day flight, meal and Hotel accommodations. I even tested the waters a bit by countering their offer. I had asked in exchange for my seat, would it be possible to receive compensation in the form a actual money opposed to a voucher. Guess what... they agreed. Of course at this point, I now look like a jerk. I didn't expect them to agreed to it, but when they did, I still debating on holding onto that seat. As it was the ONLY 777 flying this particular week. In any event, the experience was very nice and much similar to your experiences as well. Great video my friend. As always. (Keep The Blue Side Up!)
I am glad you had a great experience. There are many opportunities to fly widebodies un the US domestic market these days....stay tuned for a whole about about that soon!
@@PeterMasella yes from my understanding it was an aircraft repositioning. Apparently the wide body needed to be in JFK for a flight to South America, which was how I got lucky flying on it.
Excellent video Peter. My only suggestion would be to add a few clips interviewing the flight crew. I flew the 757 for many years at NWA and DAL and loved this extraordinarily beautiful airplane. Rand Peck 747-400 captain, retired.
Great idea Rand! I had thought about it but it's so hard to record audio in flight with all of the noise. It's for this reason that while airborne, I have to switch to voiceovers but I'd rather have a talking head in the video!
@@PeterMasella If you could arrange to speak with the pilots early it would work best. Maybe out in the gate area and then a follow up in the cockpit. Most guys would be very accomodating I'm sure. Anyway, very nice presentation.
Wait a minute you mean to tell me that the pilot had to start the engines at the gate? Man I worked the ramp for over 10 years for Northwest and they didn’t have a air cart to hook up from the jet bridge or a portable air cart? Was the APU not working? That right there alone is a reason not to pay that kind of money or miles for a seat like that and how many miles did it cost you to fly round-trip on Delta one from New York to Las Vegas a couple hundred thousand?
Peter...I am flying Delta One back to JFK for the holidays. I am not sure if they will have food in the lounges because of everything going on, but is it really free? Are the meals on the plane also free? Great video.
It’s not worth $3000 to fly to Las Vegas from New York. But I spend that kind of money I want food of my choice and a lot more amenities than what they have today
I took this flight in December 2019 in delta one... for $478.. sadly Delta One has been pulled from this route. Delta One service was also pulled from JFK--SAN
@@PeterMasella No... that was a pre-pandemic flight. I flew that exact route JFK-LAS In Delta 1 in December 2019. This plane now operates DCA-LAX offering the only lie flats out of DCA to LAX. JFK-SAN and BOS-LAX also lost Delta 1 service around the same time in August 2021.
I’m a new sub and I love your videos, but please stop speeding up the landings and takeoffs. Could have sped up the sleeping positions sequence, though.
Delta One is only available on International routes and coast-to-coast premium transcons (SFO/LAX-JFK/EWR/BOS). Delta service between JFK-LAS is sold as First Class and does not grant Sky Club access or any other Delta One service benefits regardless of your aircraft cabin hard product. Other equipment flown on JFK-LAS are A320s and 737s which do not have lie flat seats and thus First Class is the highest fare class offered on this particular routing. Delta One also has full plated meal options - not some shrink-wrap box of snacks yet another indication this was not a Delta One flight.
Hi Colton. Thanks for watching my video! Your statement is true but only for a pre-pandemic world. Prior to the pandemic, Delta One was only offered on routes that you mentioned. During the pandemic, however, Delta started using aircraft equipped with Delta One Cabins on domestic routes, such as this flight. The majority of these flights were sold as "First Class" using a "Delta One" seat and the price would be a lower First Class price. However, on occasion, Delta sold some of these flights as a "Delta One" product. I chose this flight because it was sold as Delta One and operated as Delta One. This explains the high price of $3,466. The price would have been lower if sold as First Class. It also said "Delta One" on my boarding pass and I boarded with the "Delta One" boarding zone. In addition, Westin bedding was used on the seat which is only found in Delta One service. The reason why the meal service was a shrink-wrap box of snacks is because this was at a point during the pandemic where Delta was not offering hot meals. In addition, at booking for this flight, when selecting Delta One, it did show Sky Club access as one of the benefits. I have taken several flights during the pandemic on aircraft that had Delta One cabins but the ticket was sold as "First Class". During these flights, I paid a lower price, sat in a lie at seat, and I did not get bedding. There was no access to sky club and as for the food, well, since hot meals were removed, I just got a shrink-wrap box of snacks too. This video was filmed in July 2021 when things were different. Those shrink-wrap boxes are gone in first class and have been replaced with boxes of food, like sandwiches and eventually they will be replaced with hot meals. The pandemic has had a huge impact on service.
When this video was filmed only smaller boxes were being offered but I think that on a flight of this length they are now offering more enhanced food options.
@@MemoirsofaBasketcase Absolutely not. Delta only provided first class service to JFKLAS routes, regardless of what we paid or if the ticket is in Delta One. Cold box "meal" only.
Nope - you must have low standards if that soft product is acceptable… especially for that price? A bistro box? What a joke - Ed Bastian should be ashamed to be calling that a premium experience.
Hmmmm?not my experience ….have flown first class /delta one on 767 jfk to phoenix…sometimes full fare others with miles..No lounge access ( unless Amex),no pillow, blanket..offered a choice of boxes for the meal…worn out cabin crews…seems they make a round trip……….Love the 767 wide body and the thrill of going somewhere!however not quite the fun of Emirates…… I enjoy your narrative and thank you…….……
Thanks for watching! If it is first class, you won't get lounge access but if it is sold as Delta One, you should get lounge access. Things are always changing with the pandemic...
Love the presentation!

Great video!! I'm flying delta one for the first time in a couple of weeks, SFO-NYC-SFO I'm super excited!
Awesome! Have great trip!
@ Peter Masella great video you provide such detail oriented videos
Thank you!
another great vid!
Thanks Dan C!
Ah a view of my home airport! Earned my subscription!
Awesome! Thanks so much!
Nice vid. My flight home from JFK to PHX was just upgraded to delta one on the same aircraft. I'm looking forward to delta one.

Brian, the food in the Sky Club and the food on the plane is included with the price of your ticket. Thanks for watching!
Is this a delta one business class or a Delta one first class? I’m getting ready to take a flight to Africa and I need to know which one to purchase
It’s a Delta One seat and Delta One service but pandemic-style service
Is it really worth the $3,000+ when you spend a big chunk of the flight in the "Bed" ? I am 194cm (6 feet 4 inched) would the bed be too small for me?
I think it’s better than a regular 💺 seat!
It’s not worth $3000 to fly to Las Vegas from New York. But I spend that kind of money I want food of my choice and a lot more amenities than what they have today

That Was A Rip-off For $3000.00
I flew Delta One from AMS to ATL on an Airbus350-900 those Suites are way better than these.
Yes they are! Check out my video where I fly on the A350-900 in Delta One.
This sounds like a paid promotion lol
Man I’d rather fly a DC-9 over a CRJ any day! Oh and Northwest & TWA were better airlines than Delta. Especially Northwest.
Why the crappy food? Covid as an excuse?
