(4K) Qantas QF 12 |TRIP REPORT| Los Angeles to Sydney on Airbus A380

- Another trip to Sydney and this time it was on Qantas from Los Angeles on their Airbus A380. This was the first time on Qantas' A380. What was pleasantly surprising was the meals were excellent! Quite delicious. But much to my dismay, the cabin lights were on during taxi and takeoff which made it difficult to record properly with the reflection. But also I thought that for safety sake, cabin lights are supposed to be off?!

No pompous talking, no silly music - highly appreciated!
Thank you so much for watching and for your support!
Wow that landing!! Kudos to the pilot 👏🏻
Damn Qantas never let's their landings down!
Nice trip report. The A380 is a fabulous plane to fly in. Nice to see Qantas bring them back. I've never sat in the lower deck on an A380 so this is good to see.
Thanks Jeff for watching! Indeed the A380 is a great plane to fly on. I've only flown the A380 twice, the other time on Singapore and both times I never been on the upper deck before so hopefully one day I can get a seat up there.
@BayAreaTraveler Asiana has economy seats in the upper deck. And it's 2-4-2. I don't know if other airlines have something similar.
10:23-11:17 that’s the smoothest a380 landing🛬 i ever seen & heard from the inside 🧈🧈🧈🧈
nice👍 vid aswell
Indeed it was a smooth landing! Thanks for watching!
Nice report, that landing was very smooth.
Thanks for watching! Agree it was a smooth landing.
You can get a clip on lens hood for your phone that will get rid of most of the reflections if you hold it against the window.
it's a good suggestion. However, the problem with the A380 windows is that the distance between the inner and outer window is quite thick and so even with any hood, there'll be reflection. It's virtually unavoidable on the A380's.
First Time I Was A Passenger On Wide Body Aircraft Was On Qantas B747-400 From London To Melbourne In 1998.Great Trip Report
Thank you for your comment and watching! Miss the 747 :'(
Great video! I’m flying on a Qantas A380 in Economy from LAX to MEL in a couple months, so it’s good to see what to expect!
Thanks glad you enjoyed the video! Have a great trip!
Very nice trip report. It is a good time to depart from LAX provided you get some sleep. The food looked really good.
Thanks, glad you like the report. It was certainly a good flight.
Tasty looking food! Great footage!
Thanks mate!
Thanks for sharing, I still haven't flown the A380 but I really need to! The food looked really good and I also hate when they forget to dim the cabin lights at night!
Thanks for watching! Not dimming the lights was real frustrating and I suspect that it’s done on purpose. On my previous flights with Qantas before, the lights were on as well during takeoff.
very cool!
Thanks Jovanny!
welcome to Australia!
Re- cabin lights, Australia's CASA and US' FAA have very different regulations. CASA requires all safety equipments (including exit signs and even seatbelts) to be visible during takeoff and landing so you'll really need a bright cabin to meet their requirement. For US carriers, FAA requires everything to be pitch dark, and the signs should be switched off even. But then CASA requires window blinds to be up, FAA don't :)
Oh I didn't realize that. Thank you Jayden for the explanation! 😃
Fantastic video like always! I am studying to become a pilot but I’m only 14 so I’m learning about it so I’ll be ready for all the tests I may be flying to honk Kong next year!
Thanks for watching! Best wishes on your pursuit to become a pilot!
@@BayAreaTraveler Thank you!!
What ocean did you go over?
@6:12 is Qantas Hangar to the left
Yes possibly the Qantas hanger
Calling a Qantas plane "Reginald Ansett" strikes me as peculiar, given that the Australian airline called Ansett, with no ties to Qantas, collapsed in the early 2000's. And Reggie was an American.
Interesting, I didn't realize that, thank you for that bit of history!
Actually Reggie was an Australian.
Also, Ansett Airlines was a competitor to Qantas.
Is there a foot rest on economy seats?
No foot rests unfortunately
Odd that they left cabin lights on for taxi and takeoff. Still a great video and helpful
Thanks for watching! Another UA-camr commented that Australia regulations require lights to be on during taxi and takeoff which I find so odd.
I believe that is due to extra visibility ? That’s what I’ve heard anyway.
Crappy legroom but a nice recline on these seats
The recline was quite a surprise and much to my delight! It made for a restful flight.
Just a few seats up in 80K, is tons of leg room; row 79 is only two seats and not blocking K. I paid a little extra for that seat, but it was totally worth it. You can see it at 2:02
Could you show some information about the flight, duration, map, distances, nothing??
Thank you for the feedback, will do so for future trips. The only “map” is the one early in the video. There was no moving map on the IFE :(
@@BayAreaTraveler I thought that the IFE always showed flight information on all A380s
@@CarlosMartinez-is1xz Unfortunately and much to my surprise, the IFE didn't have the moving map at all. I was completely shocked actually.
Video shorten the flight distance time from hrs to mins.
that would have been a 15 hour video😅😅😅 I just came back from Sydney, I also left from lax to syd via aa73
lost
what do you mean by "lost"?
