Watching this in 2021 is so weird. You have improved A LOT over the past two years. I’m not knocking on your past self it’s just amazing how far you have come!
Dang it, I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to say “pillow talk” in this video!! 🤬😂 I have an incredible urge to go back and re edit it now...👨🏼💻😅
Hi Scott! Another awesome video, looks like you had a very comfortable flight. Those are a very big pillow and blanckett. Good to hear they were comfortable and you got some good sleep! Those are some great views of downtown NYC during take off, just breathtaking! Breakfast looks alright, nothing too special. The landing in San Diego is as always beautiful. Brendan
Whenever there's too many pillow blankets/ too little room, I just shove it all in the overhead bin until I need it. That's the nice thing about premium cabins, you get the same amount of overhead storage but a lot more room because a lot less passengers. Anyways, another great video!
SANspotter Anything to make your future travelers more convenient! In case you run into a giant pillow and blanket again. If you thought delta one was bad, try UA Polaris :)
I enjoyed my flight crew and my flight deck crew on my flight from LAX-HND in 2017! But my least favorite after landing was the jet bridge mishap when disembarking in HND.. I guess the flight crew heard my fall and were very attentive! And I also had the same crew going back home from HND-LAX..
Man that must've been a great day, not only did you get to fly first class, you got to get the hell out of New York AND wind up in San Diego!! Win. Win. Win.
I would call a flight attendant over and have him/her take away the pillow and blanket. If/when I want to go to sleep, they can bring them back at that time.
Thanks for the great videos. I’m really enjoying them. I’ve watched several lately and all have been with Delta. Curious, is Delta, SkyTeam, your go-to airline/group? I live in a hub city of one of its competitors yet enjoy flying Delta. Thanks for the videos!
Delta Rulz! Great view of Manhattan for sure... I always loved setting on left side going into San Diego cause you could see the ships... Thanks for the views.
So Scott I guess san is home I lived all myive yo in sfo and some time in los angels area I'm also a huge airplane geek and been working for airline for over 24yrs love my job as a flight attendant
Really enjoyed this video. The landings in San Diego can be pretty exciting. Say...was that Hurricane Florence that you flew just north of (based on the radar)?
Thanks, yeah, I always love landing in San Diego. And yes, that was Florence! I was hoping that it wouldn’t be disrupting air traffic out of the New York area that morning, but as you can see, conditions were perfect.
You are funny!!! But Delta business class might be the best of the USA. I had the experience flying on Delta business from GRU TO ATL, B767-300 a long time ago, It was unforgettable.
Hi... Could you recommend the very best airline for Business class flights that are easily connected from Reno NV?? We're not even sure where we are going....somewhere that won't require a passport...sense of humor is a grin!!!
Somewhere that won’t require a passport pretty much limits you to the US. My recommendation: Hawaiian Airlines business class to Hawaii! From Reno, you’re easily connected with Hawaiian via LAX, SFO, LAS, PHX, SAN, SMF, PDX, SJC, and SEA. Lots of options!
Forgive my dumb question, but do you get to keep the noise canceling headphones (or are they only for your use that one flight and are then collected, cleaned and reissued to other passengers)?
really nice edit! Do you edit the footage first and then insert voice over? or do you record audio first and then put everything together according to the audio?
Thanks! It’s interesting that you ask, because I’m still trying to figure out the best way to do the voiceover. 😅 What I’ve been doing is loosely editing the footage, recording the voiceover, and then modifying my edited footage to better match the voiceover. 😂 I definitely need a lot more practice with this, and I hope it’ll get easier as time goes on.
Thanks for sharing how you make the videos. It always amazes me how the voiceover and the footage flow nicely. It would be an interesting video if you show your workflow because to my knowledge there is no airline review youtubers who shows the workflow. I bet it will be beneficial to some (like me).
Oh my god yes! The pillows and duvet are great but there is no place to put them on takeoff. Great seat… yes… having to hold your pillow and duvet at take-off… not cool.
Because the video wouldn’t have been as interesting! 😂 Seriously though, that is the best solution though I imagine they get filled up fast with other passengers doing the same.
@@sanspotter Ive found USA domestic, due to their luggage policy, there is almost more cabin luggage than in the hold...Ive been on a flight thats been delayed because there was no room for passenger "hand" luggage in the overhead bins....this was delayed while it was transfered to the the hold...Memphis-Orlando..
9:26 45kg babies? The West Coast looks so much more interesting :) Nice video. Dutch rice pudding is amazing, it's just never part of a meal, but more like a sweet dessert. Add cinnamon.
Yeah, exciting! I’m pretty sure that it’s just a few flights in late November though, and it’s not an official launch of service (yet). Unfortunately, it’s right around the Thanksgiving holiday and I’m not going to be able to fly on it.
Holy cow, I flew Delta out of terminal 4 before the remodel...possibly the ugliest and most claustrophobic air terminal in the US....they have done a remarkable renovation.
While I fully acknowledge that there is nowhere to put that full size pillow and blanket, I absolutely LOVE that Delta offers them in D1. It makes getting comfortable so so easy, as you experienced! I'm also a big fan of gender-neutral amenity kits. It's 2018! I don't want a kit with products that some random JetBlue employee decided was what men should be using. Great video Scott!
Watching another video before bed. These trip reports are so addicting! 10:40 You should have said Enough of me yappin', it's time for the landing! Otherwise a really nice video. You help me become a better avgeek and understand how airline seating class works. At first, I had no clue what a "reverse herringbone seat" was, or what the difference between a "staggered" and "standard" business configuration was. All I knew was first, biz, eco. I would, however, cut back on the takeoff video. Just show the spool up, power down, and maybe some snippets of the view with some nice snappy music behind. Rice pudding is also one of the best dishes on the planet. When I was a baby, I used to be severely allergic to glucose. So instead of having ice cream, I would want rice cream. Rice cream is simply ice cream made with rice. Very simple. Delta is most well-known for having full-sized duvets and pillows in business class. I have never experienced Delta business class, or any business class other than US Airways A330-300 business class when I was 8 and not an avgeek yet, but it looks amazing. The 757 is an old aircraft. I don't care so much for it but I appreciate it for what it does, and that is being a MOM aircraft fulfilling medium-haul routes that the A320 or 787 can't handle. Boeing aircraft are not well-known for their smooth landings, but that isn't what they are designed to do. They are designed to be workhorses in a competitive environment, unlike the A330, which, while a workhorse, can surely butter the bread even in severe crosswinds. The wing and engine view were amazing! I can't believe you never mentioned anything about that. 10/10 would share with a friend again. Unfortunately, I don't have any avgeek friends so I'll just share your channel on Instagram.
Haha, I don’t want to be responsible for giving you insomnia. 😀 I’m glad you enjoy my videos though - it means a lot since they take a long time to create!
I love Delta, but their Delta One menu has for the longest time been absolutely TERRIBLE. Usually domestic is a tad bit more "normal" but on the international routes, they try to be fancy and don't focus on giving people what they really want. I mean judging by the menu shown on this video, your options are eggs, sugar and more sugar... followed by a cookie of sugar before landing. Come on "Chefs".
There’s a dedicated viewing spot at the corner of Laurel and Harbor drive, which is a nice place to watch arrivals and departures. Keep in mind that the fence is really high though, so you’ll need to stand on a car or a ladder to take pics over it. The local police won’t mind as long as you stay back from the fence. You can also watch departures from across the street at Spanish Landing (an open park area). You’ll need a 300-400mm lens to get pics of departing aircraft, it it’s a pretty nice place to sit and relax for a chance hours. Have fun!
Great and pretty ironic video! NY during takeoff is gorgeous indeed. Did you find it in any way weird that two of the three main meals are sweet dishes and all were vegetarian?
Interesting that you ask, because YES - it was weird and slightly disappointing. I’m not a fan of sweet breakfasts at all, but the only non-sweet option option sounded really heavy (and unhealthy). Hopefully these menus change often!
Looked like rice pudding to me, but that's the first time I've ever heard of it being served for breakfast. It was always a humble, old-timey dessert. I remember my grandma making it and it's one of my few memories of her--she was an farm girl, born in the 1880's, believe it or not. Nice video BTW.
Thanks James! Yes, as a matter of fact it did seem overly sweet to me (I’m not a fan of sweet things for breakfast), so I totally understand how it’s better known for being a dessert.
God, don’t you just love having to crawl/leap over the passenger on the aisle to get to the lav? Love, love, love the single (throne) seats in Mint (JetBlue).
I very much want to fly on Delta One! This video makes me want to fly it even more. Sadly I only fly with American Airlines right now. They are also a great airlines and has it's pros and cons just like Delta yet I would love to experience something different. Maybe in the near future :)
dear Scott thank you for your reply. You can not imagine how many shitmails I am receiving everyday about my comments….concerning todays U.S. travel culture.. Top peak Mr Trump should arrest me right away after entering American ground... And that to me who was so proud to carry your U.S. flag around the world...on T.W.A. But you know what I have never been the coward of the county.....so my champagne spoiled tongue will continue on to be a critic or soft and tender…. Thanks for listening Scott!!
Watching this in 2021 is so weird. You have improved A LOT over the past two years. I’m not knocking on your past self it’s just amazing how far you have come!
4:16 The best part lol!
😂 The only sad part about it was the realization that JFK is largely narrowbodies and regional jets these days...
Hahaha its a shame, especially since passenger numbers are down at JFK recently.
QFS Aviation I thought traffic as a whole has been very strong in the later part of this decade. Wonder about LGA and EWR. Guess it’s a region thing.
QFS Aviation Fiftee- Niiiiccceeeee look at that.
@@sanspotter same with La Guardia and Newark is mostly mid size narrow bodies and wide bodies, like 767 and 757
That's a lot of pillow talk, without a lot of fluff! Great job, as always.
Dang it, I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to say “pillow talk” in this video!! 🤬😂 I have an incredible urge to go back and re edit it now...👨🏼💻😅
Haha I get the feeling the pillows may yet prove to be your nemesis on a future flight that'll give you another opportunity haha
Top review, and great filming too. The views of the Salton Sea and coming into SAN were superb too. Thanks.
Thanks, and you’re welcome! The Salton Sea is beautiful from the air, but not so much from the ground unfortunately!

Thanks Brendan! Delta is getting really good - it’s amazing how far they’ve come over the past 15 years or so! 😮

Yeah, the left side is definitely the side to be on when flying into SAN! Unfortunately this was the only window seat available on this flight. 😕
Delta Rulz is right!
Another great video.
As a Delta Fan-Boy, I’m in love with JFK.
Always great videos!
Thanks, and I agree - JFK is absolutely amazing (especially T4).
Yup! Delta is the way to go!
I know right, especially t4 and Virgin check in
That looked like a great flight ✈️ 👍
So Scott I guess san is home I lived all myive yo in sfo and some time in los angels area I'm also a huge airplane geek and been working for airline for over 24yrs love my job as a flight attendant
24 years! I’ll bet you’ve got some really good stories to tell. Haha! Sounds like a fun career for sure. 😎👍🏻
@@sanspotter I can write a novel for sure
Love that 757 buzz
Slowly going extinct unfortunately. 😕
@@sanspotter Sadly yes. United and Delta still seem to be operating a healthy amount of them though. I really like seeing those rare 753s.
You could fit the usable information contained in this video into the amenity kit and still have room for a travel-size bottle of Scope.
Really enjoyed this video. The landings in San Diego can be pretty exciting. Say...was that Hurricane Florence that you flew just north of (based on the radar)?
Yea, it was I recognize the cloud pattern
Thanks, yeah, I always love landing in San Diego. And yes, that was Florence! I was hoping that it wouldn’t be disrupting air traffic out of the New York area that morning, but as you can see, conditions were perfect.

@@sanspotter Also look up Air Alaska....was very impressed when flying from L.A to Vancouver...they also fly out of Reno
Delta one really should step up their game with storage

That takeoff view was amazing!
31L departures out of JFK are always awesome!
Why don't you put the pillow or duvet or both in the over head lockers? Im sure they would squeeze in. Problem solved.

Thanks! It was just over 5 hours long.
10:56 you know you're almost there to San Diego when you see the Salton Sea! The greatest welcome home in my honest opinion.
Agreed - just as long as I don’t have to smell it. 😆
Great vid. So is travel part of your job?
Dominick No just whining a lot!
I will be going to San Diego in the beginning of January. Do you know of any good plane spotting areas?

Thanks! Yes, the food was quite interesting (which doesn’t necessarily mean “good” 😄) but overall a great flight. Try it if you can!
Fantastic.
Thanks John!
I'm flying this on Friday!!! Great video :)

do you get to keep the pillow?
Unfortunately no - which is a bummer because they are really comfy!
I always give the pillows back to attendant or store in overhead, but that’s on an A380, the 757 has no extra space, so I agree smaller pillows
I wouldn’t have minded so much on a longer flight, but it’s slightly awkward for a transcon like this. 👍🏻
no cookie ?
First world problems...poor you :-]
Looked like rice pudding to me, but that's the first time I've ever heard of it being served for breakfast. It was always a humble, old-timey dessert. I remember my grandma making it and it's one of my few memories of her--she was an farm girl, born in the 1880's, believe it or not. Nice video BTW.

The sound of those engines at take off are a bit worrying; good camera work though.
Wtf are you talking about? Those engines sounds are normal and nothing to worry
That takeoff tho
NYC! 👀😍
But the buzz and the cloud things that’s name I forget
I can see my neighborhood at 11:06. dictionary hill !
I hadn’t even heard of Dictionary Hill before - you made me look it up on Google Maps just now. 👨🏼💻😆 Must be beautiful out there in the east county!
SANspotter Eh. the only thing beautiful about East County are the views from Dictionary Hill and Mt. Helix😂 lol
Awesome !!!
Thank you!
Love the engine roar
Me too - I’m gonna miss those 757s when they’re gone!
God, don’t you just love having to crawl/leap over the passenger on the aisle to get to the lav? Love, love, love the single (throne) seats in Mint (JetBlue).
Yep, that’s one area where Mint really shines! These Delta One seats are pretty cramped.

You should definitely give D1 a try Chris! It’s really good, and it just might be the motivation you need to leave AA. 😁
You are right! My wife is also applying at Delta Airlines so we will see! Do you have plans in the future to fly Delta1 or with American?
No plans as of yet, but things change quickly!

Why are all of these flight travel reports done by men? why do they always travel alone?
😁 OMG Pillow Blanket issues but is true too big.
Haha, the struggle is real on D1. 😬😆
Obnoxiously large pillows lol
It was just horrible. 😂
