I'm a Delta 757 pilot, I do the Tampa flight often. I'm thrilled you had a good experience. We work hard to ensure our culture matches our high customer expectations. We hope to earn your business time and time again in the future.
You are living my dream life, I hope to be a pilot some day! I am building a Boeing 777 cockpit in my house right now. May I ask what flight school you went too?
@@imMalpa12455 I went to Southern Illinois University Carbondale for my degree in aviation management. But my flight schools were different than some. I worked two jobs as a waiter and saved up money to pay in full for each license. I hired flight schools around the country that specialize in each license to train me. I went to that school with the written test already passed and everything necessary for the knowledge portion that made learning to train in the aircraft for that particular license much easier. It was a LOT of self study and it made me a much better pilot. It also made me a debt free airline pilot which is very hard to come by. Thanks for the question, it sounds like you have the passion! You can absolutely do it! I am ironically speaking at a high school next week to encourage these juniors and seniors to get into this amazing field.
2 things 1. Spirits ceo actually said they want to be the mcds of the sky 2. Thats not duct tape. Its speed tape. All airlines use it. Its FAA certified and completely legal to use in any form
Spirit is only cheap if you can fly with basically no luggage other than a small backpack or personal item. If you need even a full sized carry on, you will pay thru the nose, and the price difference between Spirit and a real airline evaporates quickly. I considered Spirit for a flight coming up, but when I realized I would have to pay more than my seat cost to bring on a carry on, I passed.
I think it's realtive on where your destination is. I'm using Spirit on my next flight coming up soon, the cost difference even with bags and seats is way less than paying full price for the next step up, which was $200 more per person with barely additional perks (Jet Blue).
I love Delta! I flew them from Tokyo to Phoenix. The crew was phenomenal. The seat was comfy. If I could fly them from now on I would, but as a teacher I have to look for the cheapest flight.
For a flight that short, I will always take the flight for $30. Money saved could get me a good meal at my destination. I haven't flown on Spirit, but I fly Frontier whenever I can to be back to NY. And it is from my understanding about the same as Spirit. I fly Delta most often on longer flights out of all the US airlines. Sadly the made major changes to their frequent flyer program.
I've flown American, JetBlue and most recently Delta for the first time.. seats were comfy and had the shortest ever gate change. Would definitely fly with them again.
I say this depends on what you expect. When Spirit costs $30 and Delta costs 5 times more for the same distance, I will definitely choose Spirit just be cause it has the higher cost-performance value. These airlines have different target customer segmentations, and you prefer Delta because you belongs to their target segmentation.
When and where is it $30 ? 😂. I been binging these vids today after a connecting spirit flight to and from, and spent 270 on the front end with a checked back and 90 for a bag on the way back, got a backache and ended up spending just as much as I would’ve with the better one, but 30 sounds like a deall deall
Sun country is the best option if you wanna go to Minneapolis from somewhere in the us. Checked bags are only like 50$ per bag and you get a free drink. And they actually give pretty decent legroom.
spirit and frontier are the kind of airlines where they are at best fine when everything is going right. but when things go wrong, they go really really wrong.
It’s because Frontier and Spirit lack the infrastructure like an airline like Delta has, an airline that is a global Goliath. It’s the service infrastructure that is “service” in that industry. Not the free soda. If your flight on Delta cancels , they can reroute you through more airports, have more destination option, etc. basically they have way to better logistically handle complications. Frontier and Spirit are tiny in comparison and when your flight cancels there, you’re not out for another week as the next flight could be for 3 days, there might not be available seats. Also, due to cost structures Spirit won’t invest in the operation the same way as Delta such as employment and pay structures. So you’ll get a “less professional” gate agent for example.
to be fair, that's a pretty large price difference. If you are only taking a short flight, i'm sure most people can manage without wifi for a bit, can still use your phone offline to listen to podcasts or music. And take your own snacks on board rather than bother with the in flight offers. The only obvious annoyance would be the delay, but often these are outside the airline's control,
Agreed!! Ill be willing to buy chips and a drink if I get too hungry also… we are still looking at $40 compared to $150. It’s a no brainer for me. Download a movie to your phone before you leave and problem solved for the entertainment aspect.
@@MicrosoftWest Plus you can bring food from home. I have not yet flown on any flight where the in-flight food impressed me (and that includes recently treating myself to a business class seat for the first time).
@@reginabillotti i treated myself to an air canada business class, and they served a saffron chicken, which blew me away in concept. It was dry as cardboard though, so points off for that. I only booked it because it was cheaper than my usual economy fare and while happy with it, i would have been, nay, have been just as happy in economy. I’m going to fly Delta soon, and might upgrade to business on one of the flights, as the price doesn’t seem too terrible
@colestock9980 my flight was a short haul flight with Air Canada. Outbound, in the morning, I got a stale roll with some jam, butter, and nuts. On my return flight (early afternoon), the stale roll was replaced with a German style multigrain bread, and there was also some dried fruit and salami in the meal, but it was still unimpressive. The only perk of upgrading my fare that I found worthwhile was a larger seat.
Nice vid! I've never had an issue with Spirit, but it's good for people to know what to expect when flying them. For a cheap way to get from A to B, they're better than taking the Greyhound bus. Did you know they have the youngest Airbus fleet in the US? Once JetBlue acquires them, those seats will go away. JetBlue offer's the most legroom in economy class in the US, and also free WiFi, so should get even better soon.
one time I got a cold and a fever and my spirit flight was delayed by 10 hours so I had to sleep on the hard wet cold ground of the airport waiting for a plane.
Love your content Eric! One day you should take a international flight with Delta! Took one from JFK to Athens on an Airbus A330. Got some rest, had great movies, and the food was actually chewable! Flew in econemy btw
I Know A UA-camr Who Flown Twice With Delta Airlines, One Coming From Charles De Gaulle Airport In His Home City: Paris, France To John F. Kennedy International Airport In New York City. He Was In Business Class In This CDG-JFK Route! And The Other One Was Also Coming From Charles De Gaulle Airport In Paris, France But This Time To Los Angeles International Airport. He Was In Premium Economy Class In This CDG-LAX Route! These Airplanes He Was In These Flights Were Two A330-900 Neo!
As an aircraft mechanic, we don't use ductape. You'll get written up for that. Speed tape, on the other hand, people use constantly in the industry. You can tell by where it's applied. Ductspe is dull speed tape is a bright crome like aluminum that is very hard to rip. I use sheers to cut the sections. They are 2 different tapes.
One nice thing about some of the newer Delta Sky Clubs is they'll have special things. For instance, La Guardia, Terminal C has a second buffet offering different options from locally curated chefs. Or one of the several clubs in Atlanta has ice cream machines. Delta Sky Clubs are definitely a godsend and almost turn flying into a spa day. And most importantly, every Delta Sky Club I've been too had a spotless bathroom.
As a native Tampa Bay Floridian, TPA is hands down one of the best airports in the US. I travel all over the world and every time I’m so spoiled at how nice TPA is.
You do realize that Tpa is rated one of the worst airports for cancellations and the worst percentage of not departing on time. And that’s not the airlines fault in tpa. Do research. I’ve always had horrible experiences at tpa.
Hi eric i went o spirt airline from Jamaica to America and to be honest it was not bad for my first flight in my life plus i got free gummy on the plane and got to go in the cabin with the pilot and I'm 11 also love the videos keep up the good work
Back in the 80’s I had flown Delta. My luggage got lost. Delta not only found it, but they brought it to my house in Elberton, Georgia which is 115 miles away.
I'm not american, but I've flown Delta a few times and I only have praises, I love Delta. one time I was scheduled to fly from Sao Paulo to New Orleans on a Wednesday, and on Monday prior to my flight Delta had a MAJOR issue with their system and thousands of flights got canceled. I completely panicked since my flight was on two days and I begun fearing the worst, but to my surprise, when Wednesday came everything was completely solved, normal, my flight was on time and I made it to Nola as predicted. I always recommend them.
Thank you for actually showing the food and talking about it instead of glancing at it for 2 seconds like most people do when they record the lounge. I can't afford it yet so I need to see it I can imagine what I would put on my plate.
You should do a review on First Class on Delta Connection (Republic Airways, Endeavor Air, Skywest Air). I'd love to see your input on it. Great video by the way!
Thanks for posting this. I’m flying for the first time with my toddler on Delta next month and with everything going on with Boeings I’ve been so incredibly nervous. It was nice you had a good delta flight
Delta does not own a single aircraft of the "boeing max series" that there were problems with. I love delta's safety record and commitment to safety. Makes me feel so much better when flying.
A few years ago , I flew Spirit from Baltimore to Boston. My flight started out the same way as yours. It was late and then we sat on the taxiway for about 45 minutes for a unknown reason. Although, We did receive a small bag of chips and a bottle of water for free . The flight attendant seemed to be annoyed at being at work. He had a massive attitude problem. But it was cheap ( I think it was about $100 one way ) . If I have to do the same thing again, I’ll pay extra and go with a better airline.
Hey, Highschool student here. Being a pilot for delta is my dream job. I've flown delta my whole life. I have never ever had one problem with delta itself. Some scuffles with airport problems but other than that nothing much. Never had any major delays. Delta has got to be the best airline company to exist. Beyond excited to start the Propel career, that if I hopefully get in.
I will always fly delta airlines now; I’m terrified of heights and an uneasy flyer but the take off and landing was so smooth and bump free flight an amazing pilot and crazy sweet/ nice flight attendants also zero delays with a super easy layover process 😊
Just flew BA for the first time in business class, and honestly it was terrible. This is a specific comment about the business class product, which was very poor value for what was charged for the ticket. The seat layout was uncomfortable and impractical (my 75 year-old mother literally had to jump over someone to get to the bathroom AND had a stranger basically in her lap for the whole flight. She was in a seat made for couples.....but with a stranger!!!). Multiple peoples' phones got lost/destroyed in the seats b/c there is no place to put your stuff. None. Not even a tiny shelf for your phone. Can't speak to economy class, but for business class, even American is a better value than BA. No joke.
As a fellow Canadian, I remember the first few times I flew with WestJet (think 2007-2009) they did have live TV on these very tiny (basically iPhone Max size) screens on every seat.
I always fly Delta it is amazing if u go on a flight over 12 hours you get a restraint in the airplane if u r first class. Always fly Delta! It has Biscof. Love Delta ❤
I don't fly airlines that spend tens of millions of dollars to demonize unions and retaliate against pro-labor employees up to and including termination.
I flew Spirit once and instead of the 5-hour delay I had and ENTIRE DAY of waiting for my flight. So me and my family just flew Breeze Airlines which was pretty good. I need to fly Delta!
My family was once involuntarily bumped from a Delta flight, and I must say that even in a bad situation their staff was very professional and helpful. They wrote us a check for the compensation that you are entitled too without us even asking (I've heard other airline will try to trick you into getting flight vouchers or other vouchers), then handled booking us on a flight later that day. I would choose Delta over other Airlines whenever possible. They are an excellent airline.
I had a nice experience with Delta as well recently. Worth noting though, I had a great experience on a newer Airbus plane, however on an older Boeing one, the power plug was not working, and my IFE screen seemed to get stuck on a blank screen with no visible back button. I also wanted to mention, I was impressed with their Movie, TV, and music selection, but in the end I enjoy just watching downloaded UA-cam videos like yours :))
The Tampa lounge is old. But I'll tell you this, the lounges at JFK, Fort Lauderdale, LaGuardia, and Los Angeles, all lounges I visit fairly often, are all brand new and VERY modern.
One concept you should consider for vids like this is if you should use a similar aircraft for a more fair review. But other than that. I liked the video.
Delta was my main airline until the major changes this year. I had Diamond status for the last 6 years but I’m looking to switch to American or United. I’m just testing out the lounges and flights over the next few months.
@@djtexas4993 sad to say it but I ended up picking American. That might change in 2025 but right now they have more direct flights for work and the lounges are just a tiny bit better. They’re going to be secondary to centurion and C1 lounges, but I enjoy them more so far. The only stand out lounge for United I’ve been to so far is the new one in Newark. I also, like then I can pretty much buy AA status. I’m platinum right now and by March I should hit platinum pro which isn’t bad considering I made the switch little less than 3 month ago.
Thank you, Eric Struk for keeping us entertained! Maybe one day you could try out Allegiant Air, a pretty bad airline according to other UA-camrs and the internet! SO maybe you could put Allegiant head-to-head with United after reviewing them on their own, because I saw a few people wanting you to try United, so once you've flown them both, I would love to see United and Allegiant compared! You don't have to do this if you don't want to, just a video suggestion! :) Kind Regards, DanielDoesUA-cam, Subscriber and Fan
Idk why, but I had an awesome experience with Spirit. My flight didn’t get delayed. Also the flight attendants were so nice! Also, when they make u pay for the water and snacks, it kinda makes up for the cheap tickets, part of their revenue! If u don’t wanna pay for water I suggest just bring a water bottle and filling it up after security. I just don’t get why everyone is hating on it. The only things I hated were the tray table and the seats.
My dad used to work for Delta, flying the CRJ-700/900, but he had to commute all the way to NYC. That is far from where my family lives, so my dad decided to work for Spirit and fly the Airbus A320 which is a much closer commute. He is almost done his training. Also, please stop complaining about the lounge. Most people can't even afford to fly any airline. Delta also does not have free Wi-Fi. You got it because you have that premium Sky Miles membership. Enjoy that you even have the opportunity to fly on an airplane. Especially a nice plane like the Boeing 757.😕🗿✈
I think at the end of the day, it depends on where in the USA you’re located. For me Southwest is the best balance between the free bags and the cost and frequency

But it was cheap ( I think it was about $100 one way ) . If I have to do the same thing again, I’ll pay extra and go with a better airline.
i like how the wing on spirit airlines' planes say 'Howdy'
I always fly delta and I’ve never had issues with them
Delta is expensive, but it's well worth it.
I ❤ Delta‼️
13:05 was @Ryan Trahan moment
Hey, Highschool student here. Being a pilot for delta is my dream job. I've flown delta my whole life. I have never ever had one problem with delta itself. Some scuffles with airport problems but other than that nothing much. Never had any major delays. Delta has got to be the best airline company to exist. Beyond excited to start the Propel career, that if I hopefully get in.
Good luck man❤
@@deobibibi Thanks bro
I will always fly delta airlines now; I’m terrified of heights and an uneasy flyer but the take off and landing was so smooth and bump free flight an amazing pilot and crazy sweet/ nice flight attendants also zero delays with a super easy layover process 😊
Eric Struk never lets us down
Can you try British airways next? Please It’s the best I love how good it is
Just flew BA for the first time in business class, and honestly it was terrible. This is a specific comment about the business class product, which was very poor value for what was charged for the ticket. The seat layout was uncomfortable and impractical (my 75 year-old mother literally had to jump over someone to get to the bathroom AND had a stranger basically in her lap for the whole flight. She was in a seat made for couples.....but with a stranger!!!). Multiple peoples' phones got lost/destroyed in the seats b/c there is no place to put your stuff. None. Not even a tiny shelf for your phone. Can't speak to economy class, but for business class, even American is a better value than BA. No joke.
Deltas 757s are my favorite planes. They’re so powerful. 🎉 love the video
Eric keep it up!
Ryanair vs Lufthansa next? ❤
Except the seats offering recline and FAs handing out water and chocolate, there isn’t much difference. Well, if you don’t factor in price…
Lufthansansa has gone downhill. Customer service is pretty much non existent. I do everything to avoid Lufthansa.
I love this channel so much and I love aviation. Thanks so much man for making all of our lives so much happier!
Delta finally updated the ancient "My Trips" screen
I've never flown on Spirit, but am told the seats on Spirit are almost like sitting on a city bus.
Watching Eric always makes my day. :)
I appreciate your support
You should read my comment
As a fellow Canadian, I remember the first few times I flew with WestJet (think 2007-2009) they did have live TV on these very tiny (basically iPhone Max size) screens on every seat.
I believe WestJet had live TV on their 737-600s until 2020 when they retired them
This man needs his own airline
Ikr
What should it be called AirStruk?
@@Kolachka idk
I did Fly Delta First Class this year And imma Give it a 8,5/10 i swear its good confy + kind staff good food
I always fly Delta it is amazing if u go on a flight over 12 hours you get a restraint in the airplane if u r first class. Always fly Delta! It has Biscof. Love Delta ❤
Puke.
Walmart also has biscof. Not sure what your point is lol
I don't fly airlines that spend tens of millions of dollars to demonize unions and retaliate against pro-labor employees up to and including termination.
I flew Spirit once and instead of the 5-hour delay I had and ENTIRE DAY of waiting for my flight. So me and my family just flew Breeze Airlines which was pretty good. I need to fly Delta!
I was going to fly wiz-air, austria to england And I had to layover for 14 hours. I didn’t even get a refund! Bro i wish Europe had delta!
Great video Erick! Try doing other videos like tasting the sweetest food, the sourest food, and the best dessert.
*who’s erick?* 🤨
Yooo Ahmed
My family was once involuntarily bumped from a Delta flight, and I must say that even in a bad situation their staff was very professional and helpful. They wrote us a check for the compensation that you are entitled too without us even asking (I've heard other airline will try to trick you into getting flight vouchers or other vouchers), then handled booking us on a flight later that day. I would choose Delta over other Airlines whenever possible. They are an excellent airline.
nice video
Tampa INTL is one of my favorite airports! Awesome place!
I had a nice experience with Delta as well recently. Worth noting though, I had a great experience on a newer Airbus plane, however on an older Boeing one, the power plug was not working, and my IFE screen seemed to get stuck on a blank screen with no visible back button.
I also wanted to mention, I was impressed with their Movie, TV, and music selection, but in the end I enjoy just watching downloaded UA-cam videos like yours :))
It was likely just a bit older, most Boeing's are pretty great in my opinion and I recommend them over Airbus.
Worst airline in the industry is delta. TERRIBLE!!!
During my Lufthansa flight someone’s screen wasn’t working and they told the flight attendant in my area about that and they fixed the problem
@@CamilaAntelo2004 Yeah they say in the safety video that you can ask them to fix it if so, I just didn't bother since I wanted to use my phone anyway
The Tampa lounge is old. But I'll tell you this, the lounges at JFK, Fort Lauderdale, LaGuardia, and Los Angeles, all lounges I visit fairly often, are all brand new and VERY modern.
One concept you should consider for vids like this is if you should use a similar aircraft for a more fair review. But other than that. I liked the video.
Add to note: spirit experience is like McDonald’s and delta’s experience is like chick-fil-a
Delta was my main airline until the major changes this year. I had Diamond status for the last 6 years but I’m looking to switch to American or United. I’m just testing out the lounges and flights over the next few months.
Go United!
Would be great to switch to United for the airline. But then also have the Amex platinum for centurion access.
@@ntmn8444 nah, Southwest is the way to go. But Jetblue is great as well
@@djtexas4993 sad to say it but I ended up picking American. That might change in 2025 but right now they have more direct flights for work and the lounges are just a tiny bit better. They’re going to be secondary to centurion and C1 lounges, but I enjoy them more so far. The only stand out lounge for United I’ve been to so far is the new one in Newark.
I also, like then I can pretty much buy AA status. I’m platinum right now and by March I should hit platinum pro which isn’t bad considering I made the switch little less than 3 month ago.
If you switch, go with United. American is trash!
I got the best one of it all Suncountry
Thank you, Eric Struk for keeping us entertained! Maybe one day you could try out Allegiant Air, a pretty bad airline according to other UA-camrs and the internet! SO maybe you could put Allegiant head-to-head with United after reviewing them on their own, because I saw a few people wanting you to try United, so once you've flown them both, I would love to see United and Allegiant compared!
You don't have to do this if you don't want to, just a video suggestion! :)
Kind Regards, DanielDoesUA-cam, Subscriber and Fan
Yo u support riggy
Literally flying these 2 exact for my trip soon can’t wait to see 😭
Me watching this as I’m taking a spirt flight Tomorrow
ive been on delta and its epic. i want to go on again
Imagine sitting down in your seat and starting to read, then your neighbor comes in filming himself squishing the seat.
Idk why, but I had an awesome experience with Spirit. My flight didn’t get delayed. Also the flight attendants were so nice! Also, when they make u pay for the water and snacks, it kinda makes up for the cheap tickets, part of their revenue! If u don’t wanna pay for water I suggest just bring a water bottle and filling it up after security. I just don’t get why everyone is hating on it. The only things I hated were the tray table and the seats.
So true
It’s good to hear such praise for Delta because that’s how I’m getting to Tokyo for my study abroad starting next month.
Fun fact : if u board spirit airlines u become one of them 😂😂😂😂
Lol
Umm 😅I I go to spirit but It was actually pretty good
So I turn into a 🍌
LMAO😂😂😂
Spirit was actually very good for me I got free food and water the flight attendant was very nice I would give it a 10/10
I know where the flamenco is it is in Tampa Florida
6:15 i flew delta back from a school field trip and i calculated we were traveling 1 mile in around 4 seconds
Typo? 1 mile in 4 seconds is pretty dang fast.
You should do a review on qantas! They are a great airline, great services too
Just a reminder. The 757 is retiring in 2026
1:19 lol “ I got greeted by a giant flamingo 🦩🩷 “
My dad used to work for Delta, flying the CRJ-700/900, but he had to commute all the way to NYC. That is far from where my family lives, so my dad decided to work for Spirit and fly the Airbus A320 which is a much closer commute. He is almost done his training. Also, please stop complaining about the lounge. Most people can't even afford to fly any airline. Delta also does not have free Wi-Fi. You got it because you have that premium Sky Miles membership. Enjoy that you even have the opportunity to fly on an airplane. Especially a nice plane like the Boeing 757.😕🗿✈
Emirates: Come inside, it’s fun inside!
Spirit: Come inside, it’s more more fun inside but also you’ll die!
Eric I was your pilot on the delta plane I didn’t actually say we were running 3 mins late ⏰ your flight was 1:37. Mins
🧢
I think at the end of the day, it depends on where in the USA you’re located. For me Southwest is the best balance between the free bags and the cost and frequency
With the $120 you saved on the ticket you could have bought wifi, watched Netflix and bought a snack and still save $100.
I flew Delta in 2022 From ORLANDO to NEW YORK in the A321neo
And i think that was very good
Team Delta 👇🏽
Yessir!!!
Noooooooooo😢
M e
ME😊
United
I love this video, but also, can you do next Delta versus pan am
Bro there retired
Spirit again! Never disappoints
