As a long-time Chicago resident, I was returning home from several business trips and O'Hare landing traffic was stacked-up. The pilot let us know and gave us a 15 minute tour of the Chicago downtown area quietly hovering/circling/gliding over Lake Michigan until he was given the clear-to-land.. One felt as if one was a bird circling over the Magnificent Mile and lake. A once in a lifetime experience (drink in hand and enjoying the view).
I’m a Chicago resident too, hey did you notice he flew past midway airport in this video, man it’s so small compared to Ohare and that’s why I only try n flew out of midway!
Wow! From above, the city looks like a computer motherboard :). Huge city. Never ends. The plane was so quiet and took of in no time. Good Airbus NEO. Great planes.
A friend of mine's Dad was a 747 pilot and when she went with him on flights as a kid he would let her determine whether they did a rolling or static take off.
Had this beautiful view coming into Chicago one evening, the city looked like crystals rising up through a sea of diamonds. An increadable sight for me as a tourist a few years ago. Regards from South Africa
The very first time I flew on a plane, it was out of O'Hare, headed to Orlando. I lived in the western suburbs and I still distinctly remember flying right over my house. I even remember what my little mind was thinking "If the plane crashed now, everyone would land in our pool!"
I'll never forget my 2 hour visit in Chicago last year. On my way home from Michigan quickly stopped in the city and went to the top of the Sears Tower like I wanted to. There's just one thing I need to do when I go back. Eat some pizza.
4:30 All those little dots of other planes landing, always amazed at seeing that lineup in the sky when I was working out near the airport (from sydney).
Look at all those planes heading to the turn at the outer marker ! Wow ! My dad worked for United and I would fly SA , during the summer I would fly to ohare and hang out in Chicago for the day !
I take pictures like that and everyone thinks I’m crazy, I stand up when the seatbelt sign is on to capture the moment. It’s exhilarating until you hit turbulence, and I drop my phone 😂 thank you for sharing
Those airbus planes are very powerful, but also remember too, it’s winter now where the air is colder which makes the air more dense. That makes it easier to generate the lift needed to take off.
@@jerrypolverino6025 Yes liekly so, but as I as said in my previous comment, it's winter, the air is colder and more dense, its easier to take off in that plus increases the climb performance.
Great footage of the ascent and city lights, amazing city grid. This reminds me of when I was a kid and we would fly from St. Louis/Midway to Islip. Loved the night take offs, especially the steep ones where the plane banks to the side and you can look straight down thousands of feet onto the city lights while feeling the purr of the turbofans.

The Airbus A321neo in general is amazing! I flew on a couple of them across the Atlantic on Aer Lingus between Dulles and Dublin while traveling to and from London England for my family’s first ever overseas Christmas trip. I don’t recall seeing the snack bar onboard, perhaps I might have either missed it or Aer Lingus just didn’t opt for it like United did but either way, I had quite a smooth ride both ways. With Dulles being one of my 2 main home airports, I’ll have to keep an eye out for a United A321neo next time I fly out of Dulles
Crazy how many "I can see my house from here!" moments I had while watching this! Like, Ooh there's Forest Preserve Drive! Ooh there's Harlem-Irving Plaza! Oh, there's Urlacher's face. Again.
It's so rare to hear A321neo engines put out a buzzsaw noise because of how powerful and efficient these engines are. They don't require the fan blades to spin as fast as older engines. You can hear when the thrust lever set climb power, the buzzsaw is gone entirely. On the older engines, you'd still hear the buzzsaw even in climb power.
Very nice takeoff, the city looks beautiful all lit up at night. I have never seen red street lights before. It looked like when a road is heavy traffic or closed on google maps lol Also it looked cool all those other planes coming in to land lined up after each other.
that is when you realise how close graphics in microsoft Flight Sim are close to reality! This is so nice to look at; not surprising that aliens come visit us in their UFO lol
Very clean and crisp video. CHI TOWN skyline in the back. Flown out of Ohare so many times and a few at Midway. Awesome to see Harlem Ave and the parking garage at Midway. 10:50 Mark you can see the nastyness of GARY Indiana the $*** Hole of the Earth. Nice. lol
Chicagos crime rate is over exaggerated. Its not even in top 10. Never was I even in trouble in all my years here and never scared of any neighborhood.
Great footage ill be flying out of ohare again in the morning to Huntsville & imma film it for my little channel,,,Vegas is cool to fly in or out of at night also
I always am excited about take offs. It is a feat in itself if you think about it that such a big and heavy plane is able to get in the air in 30 seconds. The view from up above is nice but things seem to move so slow when you are up in the air. It gets real boring when the plane is in the clouds and it feels like you are literally standing still since since clouds are also moving at a fast rate.

Nice planes, first class seats are really sweet!!!
Take off never gets old for me; It's my favorite part of any flight. And I always try to pick a seat with a view of the fan if possible
I like takeoff too,it's like a natural high for me!
Oh try to get a seat in front of a Boeing 717, it's going to have too be a delta ,or Hawaiian!
