Welcome Back!
Join me, Matt, on an incredible adventure as I take you on a captivating journey from the Cape Town International Airport to the bustling Newark International Airport. In this 16-hour long-haul flight, I'm seated by the window, and the sights and experiences are showcased.
As we begin our travel, I'll show you the ins and outs of Cape Town Airport, from the check-in areas to the diverse range of restaurants and shops. We'll also encounter the challenges of a long passport line and explore the intricacies of extra screening procedures. Then, it's off to the lounge, which is brimming with travelers seeking comfort and relaxation in the midst of their journeys.
But the real highlight of this video is the flight itself. I'll take you through the United Airlines' Economy Plus experience on their Boeing 787-9. You'll witness the in-flight ambiance as we traverse the night sky, get some much-needed sleep, and indulge in the in-flight meals, which, let's say, are just okay.
Don't miss out on this epic travel experience. Join me on this captivating journey, and together, we'll uncover the highs and lows of this remarkable 16-hour flight. If you're a travel enthusiast or simply curious about long-haul flights, this video is a must-watch. Buckle up and get ready for a fantastic ride with Matt's Moments!

That Air Force jet is called Inkwazi & is routinely used by the president - when he's on board the callsign is "South African 1" and the IL-76 flies scientists and crew to Antarctica during the summer!

Thank you for that info. I enjoy stuff like that. I’d love to be on that IL-76 to Antarctica though lol

I just recently did my first ultra long haul flight and never again will I take for granted the American tourists flying directly to my home city of Cape Town anymore. This is Herculean effort and I'm grateful you lot choose our country still.

If you 5'9 will you be able to sit comfortably in economy?

If that’s your height I think you’ll be good in economy and definitely economy plus. I’m 6ft.

how was the flight from one to ten? Good customer service? were they strict with the baggage rules

@mattsmoments2 Ай бұрын

I don’t mind long long flights. I get in the zone of entertainment, eating, being productive on my laptop and sleeping. Not strict with bags. Your typical policies of not heaving an overweight checked bag and then allowing two carryons. Food was ok from what I remember. 7.5/10 is my judgement for this.

I remember I was on united 787-9. The economy class barely have recline. Good luck

@duaneowens7777 Ай бұрын

Lol you are check in a small bag. I could never do that. My checked bag would be at least 24kg every time

@duaneowens7777 if it doesn’t fit in a carry on suitcase and my backpack it’s not going. Less is more.
