Noel, I knew she this plane was familiar. I'm a proud agent with Southwest. Those 300s were work horses and were well kept. One characteristic cabin temperdture fluctuations happened. Your section of seats were hot and a few rows away got super cool. My last 300 flight was several years ago home from FLL. I had an asile seat last row port side. On the ground it was warm. The captain acknowledged this. Once airborne the cabin was super cool. I like cooler temps but, I almost felt chilly. Otherwise a great bird. I'm glad this plane is having a second life.
For anyone interested in knowing whom the football team that they were carrying is Tigres UANL. They played FC Bayern München (Munich) in the FIFA Club World Cup in Doha this year 😁
Loving all these random airlines on your channel. Most of which I’ve never heard of before. For a classic 737 it looks to be in amazing condition. Southwest must have looked after it well. Funny, I instantly recognised the airlines seats! ✈️
Reminded me of our holiday to Playacar.. beautiful blue skies and huge clouds. I still remember Johnny Rockets too.. peanut Butter milkshake was incredible! Loving the humour.. especially the “airline letting passengers fly the plane..which apparently is frowned upon in Mexico” 😂😂😂
Yes, the cheapest airline to fly in Mexico... sometimes they have good packages, but the fleet is not new...this makes some people like me nervous to fly with them.
@@karengreer -300s, -400s and -500s are all extremely safe, they serve the North of Canada and are a lifeline for thousands, so they need to be safe, hell the 737-200s are safe and those are 40 years old!
Welcome to Monterrey, hope you have a great stay and enjoy our city! Please try and comment on the airport small and very convenient size, I find it so appealing not having to roam for miles between entry and boarding gate.
trust me, magnicharters will use the airplane till it falls apart, no maintenance whatsoever, think like its an african airline, or a soviet one flying 40 plus years aircraft.
@@kirilmihaylov1934 Its just a ticking bomb. Fun fact, remember the cubana aviacion accident from 2018? that plane also passed thru magnicharters but resold it to an even shadier Mexican company (global air) that finally crashed it in Cuba
That 733 may look in good condition on the inside, but if it was with Southwest for most of its life then it's got a ton of cycles on it. I hope Magnicharters is putting the required resources into adequately maintaining their geriatric aircraft.
It’s nice to see an old -300 still in action. I did some research, out of the former Southwest -300s they have in their fleet I have been on 4 of them. I do miss the classics.
Not bad for a holiday airline, as you say I've seen newer aircraft in a much worse condition. Thanks again Noel for keeping us entertained during lockdown! :-)
Because, in the video Noel tells you that this plane was originally delivered to Southwest airlines in the ´90s and the seats are still the original southwest ones.
I’ve noticed every time I fly on vacation in mexico the planes have seemed hot to me. I flew on a flight from houston to cancun on a southwest 737-700 and it was very hot. another time I flew with american on a crj 900 and it was boiling so I find it weird that other people have experienced hot planes in mexico.
I was in Cancun airport last Jan/Feb (before Canada closed their border for non-essential travel).. I definitely remembered Johnny Rockets.. I had their burger and Onion rings if I recall.. It was really good
Johnny Rockets is incredible. been to several around the states and always look out for them. been 7 years snice I had one. hope they are still as good now!
Yeah ,I always packed a water bottle whenever I traveled. Another thing once I got through security was a large drink FULL of ice. Ice is the one thing every airline was skimpy with and most non-alcoholic drinks were room temperature
pretty much all Mexican airlines apart from AeroMexico dont offer much in the way of service at all. I have used both Viva Aerobus and Volaris and you dont even get a glass of water on either. Interjet are a BIT better but they have an affiliation with AA that involved codeshares and the like so I am guessing that this has been the driver. It seems to be normal to have absolutely nothing on board as every time i have used one of these airlines you see a queue of people at the gate with bargain buckets and Macca bags
@11:39 Strange idea that the outside of the glass there is probably at -56C and you have to feel like you're roasting in the cabin. Maybe they bumped the knob on the flightdeck when they saw that sombrero walking in. ;-) Or Mexicans are just better suited for high temperatures than the average British. I would definately struggle too.
You should know it by now. Whenever you fly in a hot country the tendency is that crews keep a/c hot. I am a spaniard living in Spain and whenever you take a fligbt based in the north the a) c is not as hot as you take a flight based in the canaries lets say.
OMG have been to Cancun three times whilst holidaying in Florida but that was a long time ago, the airport sued to be horrible and old, wow how its changed.
I flew on this airline back in 1997 while studying abroad in Mexico. I flew a round-trip MEX to CUN and back. I remember the flight attendant asked me (in Spanish) as we pulled back from the gate if I spoke Spanish. When I replied that I spoke English and Spanish, she was relieved. I was the only Gringo on the flight.
Nobody outside of some rural town in America thinks johnny rockets is a " good" burger. Dude, were you serious?? That place is worse than a dairy queen :) Love it! Thanks for content and stay safe
@@chineselemonkitty717 I don't know, sounds likely though....I was just responding to a question about language barriers while traveling....I've travelled a lot and English seems to be the most common 2nd language so it gets you by in most places. I reckon with Spanish also you'd be ok in a huge chunk of the planet.
One of the great things about Noel is that he makes an effort to learn at least a little of the local language, and combines that with the universal nature of English. Mexicans speak quite good English, so that helps too.
Hope you still in Mexico, maybe you can try more unusual airlines such Aerotucan c208 caravans from oaxaca to huatulco, or Mayaair Do-228/Fokker 50 from mérida to cancun

Magni charters are well known for their austerity which makes their flights cheap. 13:05 That was the plane that Football Club Tigres took on their way back from the club World Cup after losing the final to Bayern Munich
Love your videos. Thank you. Are the seats blue and gray or blue and kind of a rust (orangey brown) color? Blue and rust is the more traditional Southwest colors for seats.
It´s not Monterey , it´s MonteRRey , with 2 R. The Qatar 350 you saw took the football team Tigres to Doha for the Club cub world championship tournament. So sad you filmed this about 15 days ago and was not aware you were here, I am a pilot and would have loved to show you around and have a few beers. Good luck mate !
Love it a British national flying a Mexican airline wearing a Captain America shirt.
What an age we live in 😉

Onboard service on Magnicharters is suspended due covid, normally you’ll get a snack and some drinks.
Saludos desde México. ✨
6:19 - I have made that face many times on a flight whenever I heard crying children. I feel your pain Noel.
And that’s why noise canceling head phones were invented.
*sees seats* That has to be a former SWA plane.
Noel: "Originally delivered to SWA"
Me: Knew it
Noel's wife must have been laughing when she found out Noel booked a child seat.

So cool to have you in Mexico :) Hope you've enjoyed ur time here.
That is literally a Southwest interior lol

Hahahaha I though he was flying on Southwest from the thumbnail photo!!
That's because it was originally a Southwest bird. Noel said it around 1/3 thru the vid.
@@josephpak4277 yeah I know, just surprised they left it almost entirely as SWA even the galley.
When not under Covid restrictions, Warsaw Chopin Airport has two Johnny Rockets. One in departures and one airside. Agree. Best burgers ever.
Wow good to know
Very cool that you got an old Southwest plane! And I agree, Johnny Rocket's is amazing.
Sunday's are made good by Noel uploading
Definitely , I always enjoy them.
Me too I actually clock watch til the new video arrives!
why did i keep thinking you were saying "magna carta" haha
You’re not alone. I wasn’t properly paying attention and only realised when I saw your comment.
"Fitting in like a local!" Lol
Ha, they kept the Southwest Airlines interior, guess they didn't want to shell out money for a refurb when the cabin was in fine condition.

Enjoyed your tour a lot !
Great video. Love Johnny rockets. We have one here in Minnesota at the Mall of America.
With charters the flight and crew originate from the departure city also no people making connections so fewer on time performance issues.
Why does the interior look like its from Southwest Airlines?
That’s where it’s life began
Because, in the video Noel tells you that this plane was originally delivered to Southwest airlines in the ´90s and the seats are still the original southwest ones.
Noel explained in the video that the plane used be part of Southwest Airlines before joining Magni Charters.
The interior is nice because Southwest renovated the interiors shortly before retiring those 737-300’s and also adding extended larger overhead bins.
Can't travel so I let Noel travel for me. It will give me ideas on where to go once I get back to working with aircraft on the ramp.
but how does he manage it? There is no travel allowed?
There is a Johnny Rockets in Swords, Ireland just outside Dublin Airport...well in 1997 there was...
Amazing video as always 👍👍👍
Love the in depth toilet review "Well, it's a bog really". That was funny. What all toilet reviews aspire to be..🤣
When I worked on cruise ships, a number of them had Johnny Rockets. I lived off their Route 66 (mushroom Swiss) and their shakes.
Those are the sombreros you hang on the wall, love that you wore it! Great video as always!

That was pretty cool referring to Del boy and Rodney.

There's also a few Jhonny Rocket's in Madrid, North of Italy (and Rome) and Oslo.
