Welcome to my channel, The Platinum Takeoff. I’m an aviation enthusiast who loves planes and flying. This channel is for avgeeks and people who love traveling. I mainly focus on flight reviews with an occasional hotel review if there is something significant about the hotel on my channel.
Most of my flight reviews are on Delta but whenever possible I’ll include a variety of airlines. If there’s something you’d like to see or that I can improve upon, just let me know in the comments section.
ALL FLIGHTS ARE PAID FOR BY MYSELF. I’M NOT SPONSORED, I DON’T WORK FOR ANY AIRLINE OR TRAVEL COMPANY, I DON’T HAVE ANY FAMILY WORKING FOR ANY AIRLINES. ALL MY FLIGHTS ARE SELF FUNDED.
Thanks for visiting my channel! See you on my next flight.

DELTA 767-400 transcontinental business class- LAX to JFK
มุมมอง 2.6K5 ปีที่แล้ว
Here’s my second review of Delta One transcontinental business class to New York’s JFK airport. This time out of LAX. My one and only complaint is with the “Delta One at LAX” check in experience. When Delta was at terminal 5, the check was very exclusive and upscale. Now it’s just Sky Priority. However, it was still a great flight. Enjoy!

Taking American business class shortly (JFK to LIR) Did American have a lounge for the return flight for business class?
Flew Delta on the return. But had Admirals Club access at MIA.

This a great for a special event
Incheon international airport terminal 2 20:59 a380s includes Rebecca and Gargamel from Smurfs.
The plane you flew on, HL7643, got delivered to the Government of South Korea for use as a transport plane and re-registered as 22001.
The 4 Smurfs are leaving vyond city on Friday because they have to go home to seoul.
It´s Colombia not Columbia, nice vids
I know it’s Colombia. You’re about the hundredth person that’s pointed out that typo.
you had an hour to pick up your crumbs and put it on the tray. unbelievable
You weren't interested in the seats at the front of the main deck that give you a forwards view? What I like to call the "sinus" windows
Watch my return flight video.
One of the worst immigration i have seen on the planet beirut
Bucket list item for sure if I never make it to the cockpit of a queen.
You can. Lufthansa and Korean Air fly the 747-8.
I was on that exact plane in 2018 on your flight ME202 ❤️🇱🇧
Why you didn’t get the window seat? But great video!
Big like
I know what it looks like to look out a plane window. You didn’t show the interior of the plane at the nose!
Actually, I did. Watch at 4:16.
MEA is really good but they are very expensive (for an average citizen) and comparing to many other airlines flying to the same destinations due to kindish monopoly by MEA owners that make it hard for budget airlines to operate in BEY leaving them pricing tickets high
Did you have to reclaim your checked baggage for customs and recheck for a connection?
I didn’t have a connection. Mexico City was my destination.
I loved delta airlines, Is the best airline and i saw the delta airlines In South Korea! I also saw it in my grandmas country i think....
How did you got access to the cockpit before taxi
Nice! But it doesnt look like your seat is 11A. I’m flying 11A in three days and i’m on the left, but it looks like your seat was on the right, perhaps 11E or F.
Just read your comment. I was sitting on the opposite side of the plane than 11A is on. Did I say my seat was 11A? Because that would be wrong. It was a 737 so it would have been F
@@theplatinumtakeoff6215 check your description
Wow I don’t know why I put 11A in there when I was sitting in 11F. I changed it in the description. Thanks.
@@theplatinumtakeoff6215 👍🏻
Enjoyed the Video Thank You for Sharing
Great video, Now i own a few parts of her including a window cut section of fuselage, looks great on my wall however bit of shame it is not in the sky.
2020 turned out to be quite an eventful year, didn't it? This flight, this aircraft, wouldn't have been possible one year later on 1/1/21, or even just a few months later into 2020 as countries effectively shut down. I so miss the VS 747s although I was never lucky enough to sit upstairs on any of my flights with them. My last VS 744 flight was September 2019 MAN-JFK...like the person who made this video, didn't know it would be the last one at the time. They'll be missed (I also had quite an affinity for BA's B744s...)
Oh my gosh, it really doesn't get any neater than that.
i'm delta airlines cabincrew are you cabincrew chris maybe you and i work together as team member some passenger need food and drink from seattle to singapore 15 hours 45 minutes i'm take bsiness class with chris other ecncomy class with mike he is work delta airlines we need 27 male cabincrew 17 female cabincrew 200 passenger on borad delta airlines we need full flight like 100% full flight my mum's family live in singapore sometimes i miss singapore so much chris yeah i want to travel with boys trip yeah i think so yeah anyway
Is that lake tahoe and sierra nevada at the start
Yes, that’s correct. 2 hour drive down to Sacramento.
Question, you say economy but are flying Comfort +?
All that flooded farm land near Sacramento is by design. When the Sacramento river gets too full, the Weir in West Sacramento opens and flood all the farm land between West Sacramento and Davis forming a massive inland sea. The Farmers get paid for the use of their land and it recharges their wells.
Sacramento County 1967, "Where can we put our new airport that is right in the middle of the Pacific flyway for birds, miles away from the city, accessible by only one interstate and in the place in the county with the densest fog? They found it. There was talk in the early 90's when Mather AFB was shut down to move the airport there, fewer birds, less fog and easier to get to.
The original plan was to use Jeff Foxworthy for the voice of the train.
Very nice! Thank you 👍🏻
That is an amazing video! So glad you shared it!
I’m not a fan of that livery either. I prefer the prior one ,the blue ,white ,and red tricolor with the AA and eagle on the rudder.
Dude you need to edit that video since that was 3 years ago
Like how?
Me suscribo , saludos desde Ciudad de México !
It’s spelled COLOMBIA….
That’s exactly how it’s spelled. Look at the description.
Nice review. New subscriber here.
Does AM Plus let you bring 1 checked bag in addition to carry on? if not whats the fee?
Yes they do. No fee.
@@theplatinumtakeoff6215 Thank you!
Loved the vid , but also hated it because watching take off always upsets me as it means the holiday is over and start the countdown till next time . Flew seat 22A last time i came back on English Rose , gonna really miss the 747 , had booked for Sept next year but have cancelled as i was hoping things would be back to normal but alas doesn't seem like they will be.

Awesome vid! I hope you will upload again soon!
Thank you! ❤️ and I’m gettin ready to do that any day now. Almost finished editing. It’s American Airlines business class LAX to Miami.
Nice! I will be sure to check that out!
Brilliant report! I still don't know whether I'd rather sit in the nose in front of the cockpit or on the upper deck above everyone else...
Thanks! I prefer the upper deck, but on Korean Air, the premium first class is in the nose. So on Korean, I’d obviously choose first over business if I had the choice.
@@theplatinumtakeoff6215 You're welcome!
I rode on Ship 6309 (N669US) many times with Northwest. I still remember all the beautiful Bowling Shoe livery 747s. I’m appreciative of Delta keeping one of Northwest’s signature aircraft as long as they did. I miss the NW/Delta 744s every day, but I can still try some ex Northwest 757s or A330s!
I love it!
