This was my first time flying on one. Well, I flew the same aircraft from ATL-DTW and then did the turn back to ATL. I really like the A350, and you know what's the best feature? They have regular window shades unlike the 787. At least for now. I think I read somewhere that Airbus was looking into dimmable windows for the A350. I hope not! Please, as cool as the dimmable windows are, just let me have a shade I can open and close at will haha.

Three times per week my friend. Monday's, Thursday's and Saturday's. I pump more content out than any other channel like mine. Thanks for watching my friend !

@@sla31 I will consider joining your Patreon, it is so worth it!

Thanks my friend! I appreciate that!

I'm glad you're enjoying it my friend!

It came at a price though. For whatever reason, it was like 4X the price to fly on this flight vs an A321 or 737. And the flight was nowhere near full. Maybe half... So, I paid dearly to take it haha.

@@sla31 lol well great content as always

I'm glad you enjoyed it my friend. Thanks for watching!

Isn't that the truth haha. As always, thanks for watching my friend!

I'm glad you enjoy them my friend. Thanks for watching!

@@sla31 thank you for taking your time to record these kinds of videos, and also thank you for replying to every single comment!

Well I’d be lying if I said I replied to every single comment. I used too, but I get to many now. So I say, I do the best I can to reply or heart as many as possible. If someone asks a specific question I will make sure to reply to it.

most comments*

It never fails haha

You know me, only the best! Thanks for watching my friend!

DTW is my favorite airport in the States

Well, I'm glad my friend. Thanks for watching!

Bigger airplanes are significantly harder to land smoothly.

Thanks for watching my friend!

I'm glad you enjoy them! Thanks for watching man!

I did. Maybe people will start to get it now. The FAA isn't joking around haha.

Wow no but I heard the story about her!

I heard the story, but they should also put her on a “flight risk” status

I haven’t heard of it but that fine is like almost triple of the median income of a typical American

Thanks for watching my friend! I appreciate it, and I need to get back to DTW again sooner than the last time!

Thanks. They're kind of my signature haha.

I'm glad you think so my friend! Thanks for watching!

Thanks my friend!

I guess we shall see once they come online. I mean, no matter the configuration, you won't find me complaining too much about an A350 haha. As always, thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 oh is not me, is the other people and the luxurious travels who expect ✌perfection ✌

Well, as you eluded to. For some reason these A350 flights between DTW and ATL are SUPER expensive. I did ATL-DTW-ATL and it was not cheap... So, first class and an engine view was out of the question haha. Thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 you know I was thinking about my comment and this what I realized , Deltas premium offerings go past the wings on the A350s. Those things have got to be money makers for the airline 😆. Thanks for another great trip buuuut is it Saturday yet???? 😉

I was kind of surprised too, but it’s ultimately the captain’s decision and it was very dry snow, so it was basically blowing off immediately. Thanks for watching my friend!

Thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 you're welcome

It’s very common for major US airlines to fly their wide bodies domestically, even on relatively short flights. Usually it’s done between hubs or major markets. Simply put, there is demand for that many seats on those types of routes. Think about it this way, a flight from New York to Miami, which American typically runs 777’s on. Those two cities have a metro population of over 30 million. That means that route has more potential passengers, not including connections, than 150ish other countries entire populations. And with Covid kind of crippling international travel the last couple of years, these big planes were pit to work elsewhere in the US. Thanks for watching my friend!

It's actually very common for major US airlines to run large aircraft between hubs and large domestic markets. They often do this simply because demand is high enough, or they need to position the aircraft for another international route. If you fly from London to Detroit, and but want that aircraft to operate Atlanta to Frankfurt, why not get revenue for the repositioning leg? Anyways, thanks for watching my friend!

Using a few large aircraft means less overall ramp congestion and less terminal airspace congestion than using smaller aircraft. Interestingly even the widely denigrated A380s are returning due to pilot shortages. Carry double the passenger load with the same number of flight crew as you would using a smaller airliner.

Yes, from a city north and east enough in the USA, like New York City.

Typically Airbus. As a passenger who wants to be comfortable, there are few times I’d pick a Boeing aircraft over an Airbus. As an avgeek on the other hand, I’ll fly whatever I can haha.

The description can answer all of your questions 😁. So you don’t have to wait for me to reply. This flight was from Detroit Michigan to Atlanta Georgia.

No, not anymore. This was filmed nearly a year ago, back when the US still had a federal mask mandate.

You can really go all the way back to the 767, 777, and A300 really. The ground work was laid all the way back then for the end of the 747. Thanks for watching my friend!

@@sla31 Which is funny because Delta retired their 777’s too.

So I didn't know. Thought some one else would So where is dtw?

I swear I replied to this earlier. Maybe I didn't actually hit submit. I'm going to fix the description. I'm not sure what happened, but I appear to have accidentally deleted some of it that would have answered your question. DTW is Detroit Michigan, which again, would normally have been in the description. Sorry about that.

I’m going to have to fix that. Not sure what happened there. Something got accidentally deleted or something. DTW is Detroit Michigan.

Well, I’m always happy to take suggestions, but I can tell you, a flight from Atlanta to Gulfport is not currently in my travel plans. I also don’t think it’d take two hours to fly a route that short. Either way, I’ll keep it in mind.

I don't remember, and I'm on my phone. But it's in the description.
