I am also a big fan of the 757. There's usually a UA flight from EWR to FLL or MCO on Friday evenings. I don't care what time of day the flight leaves, I will book the 757 because I love the lie flight seats in business/first. Gotta take advantage of the "flying pencil" while it's still in the air! I have been on a Delta with that same flight attendant shown briefly at boarding and disembarking in this video! She's so nice! A prime example of the good old-fashioned customer service and southern hospitality that makes Delta so great! I wish I could remember her name because I wanted to mention her in the survey. Just a very nice person!
@@kernbunched8460 I heard United’s 757 have a really nice first class section! I don’t even think Delta has lie down seats in first class on their 757’s lol. Would love to fly on United’s 757 before they phase out. Thanks for watching!!
Thank you for watching! The legroom varies on which seat you sit in. My seat on this flight was 35A that was right behind the bathroom. So the seat would not recline at all. So I had a little bit of a backache after the flight. Hope you all had a great trip!
I flew a 757-300 from PHX to DTW in Jan 2024. While I love the 757 family, Delta has not spent the money to install live TV or offer free internet on the aircraft I flew. I fear they will never do this and the entire family is destined to be sold and converted to freighters in the very near future.
Great trip report! The 757 had a surprisingly smooth takeoff and landing - impressive. I think it’s awesome that Richmond has regular 757 service on Delta to Atlanta many times per day! Looked like the flight was fairly full, am I right? Was it 100% full? If not, what would you say was the % filled? Again, awesome job! You need to fly more from RIC😊! ;)
Thanks for watching! Yes, the 757 lands pretty smoothly. Probably, because there’s a dual landing gear in the back. So, there was a good amount of people on this flight, but I actually had an empty seat right beside me which was nice! I would say it was maybe 80% full. Richmond to Atlanta is a busy route. Which is probably why they use 757’s for it. I’m hoping to fly out of RIC more often. Thanks for watching!

Nice high def vid - Love the 757

All the window shots were sweet!
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Amazing video! 😃
Thanks for watching! Glad you enjoyed!
Love the 757, flown on both United and Deltas, its known as Boeing's Pocket Rocket fir its rapid rate of takeoff, great workhorse of a bird.
It was a fast takeoff for sure! Those engines are really powerful when they spool up. Took off like a rocket! Thanks for watching
We flew from RIC-ATL on a 757 last week as the first leg on a Caribbean cruise. Leg room was tight, but good experience!

I think they will still be in services a lot. You see a bunch of the flying around.

RIC Int'l Airport. "You can't get there from here."
Why did you go to Atlanta? I’ve also been on Delta Boeing 757 before I believe!
My mom took me on a business trip so I could have some mom and son time with her! Thanks for watching!
