SAA is back! (amazing A330 flight)
Рет қаралды 57,972
17 күн бұрынAn epic day onboard the South African Airways A330 awaits as we fly from Cape Town to Johannesburg with ramp access, early boarding, a seat on the flight deck for takeoff and landing and a business class seat to sample the lunch and wine service onboard SAA. Also watch out for the go-around in front of us as we wait to line up on the runway for takeoff; and listen out for the reason behind it! This has got to be the best way to fly between Cape Town and Johannesburg at the moment - do you agree?

I flew the SAA A330 between Cape Town and São Paulo in November 2023 - the service from the cabin crew was outstanding! South African hospitality at its best. They are true ambassadors of our country. Keep it up SAA! 🇿🇦 Thank you for taking us along with you on this and the JNB-PER journey, Gabe. Great to see the behind-the-scenes of the airline. 👌🏼

Going to South Africa and not having wine is actually crazy! Most of the best wines I've ever had came from South Africa. I've even went twice from London To Johannesburg and Cape Town just for their wine festivals.

I grew up in Stellenbosch (just outside Cape Town) and did a PPL from Fisantekraal, frequently doing touch and go's at Cape Town. I left in 2018 to move to the UK to pursue a career flying and I'm now flying the airbus over here for a UK carrier. In all honesty though, the 15-year-old in me watches this with such a smile; the scenery, accents, ATC, the crew... it is all so brilliant. So much nostalgia seeing these great ladies and gentlemen flying the flag! keep up the great work - more SAA features please!

I'm confused, this channel should have more subscribers, all other avchannels mostly do reviews only but this here is high quality, from cockpits to behind the scenes to special flight days it has it all, heck it has the best aviation app as well lol. Even the video production, from the video editing itself to the thumbnail and caption. Truly amazing.

Hey, I just want to say thanks for making the video, but you called my dad “The first officer”, he is not a first officer he is a Senior Captain. The man that was in the Captain seat was doing his first solo flight of the A330 and my dad had to monitor him, because my dad had more experience than him. So I just thought to point that out. Anyway thanks 😊
@Flightradar24DotCom 8 күн бұрын
Since he didn't want to be shown at all or identified in any way there's no need to identify him by his correct position and title - in fact it makes sense not to! Had he been in the video of course that would have been pointed out.

Solo flight?
@hanostrydom3859 4 күн бұрын
@@Foxez13 Yes, “Solo Flight”, the term commonly used when a person does their first flight of an airplane, but alone. However in SAA, the term is used when a pilot does his conversion on an new airplane, with someone monitoring them, just in case.

A330/A350 far superior aircraft to the 787 Dreamliner especially on long haul in my opinion. At least, with Airbus you don't have the cabin crew deciding for you when to blank out the windows as they doe on the Boeing 787. It's my money, I'll decide that thank you very much !

Yes, that's particularly the case with the US where it is flat-out impossible. Also the UK. Few other places that I know of have definitive national or regional rules about it - it's just up to the airlines. The EU has no such rules (I've done a number of EU airlines). Thanks for the support!
