A310 : goes to grandma's and gets fat Hits the gym for 4 hours a day and becomes the A320 Goes on the keto diet and becomes the A318 Goes to grandma's again and becomes a380
That was a real surprise for me guys.A trip report in an A310 in nowadays is so rare as jumping from a bridge without a safety net.It was outstanding.I had my own experience in a KLM's A310 flight from Amsterdam to Athens , but 35 years ago.Excellent!!
We flew BOS-PDL and then PDL -Funchal Maderia where we spent a pleasant week. Returning on the twice a week Gran Canaria - Funchal- PDL with a Port.- American pilot! The next day we returned to Boston. Very pleasant and good service. I was in the service stationed at TER in the late 60s and found the Azores rather like Iceland without the ice and snow. Very little in the way of amenities. Back then the airport on San Migel was a grass field where cows grazed and had to be herded away before a DC-3 or DH-Heron could land. During winter the three airports were closed because of high winds much of the time. Had to wait it out for them to calm. Most of the other islands did not have airports as there wasn't space to build them and lack of demand for service.
My last -310 flight was on the f-GEMO some 20 years ago, bound to Dakar from Paris, the aircraft was weeks away from retirement, and was in a very sorry state, but still, a nice souvenir.
Die Chancen mit einem A310 zu fliegen sind ja wirklich selten geworden, insofern dafür schon mal ein LIKE! Aber auch der erste Flug hat etwas für sich... Auf jeden Fall aber wieder eine tolle Arbeit!
i used to work in Ercan Airport/N.Cyprus, my fav bird was A310, such a great plane, short but wide body, comfy as well when you consider it was about 15-20 years ago
This video reminds me of the several flights ✈ I took on Air India's A310, domestically and on International routes too, like Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai from Mumbai. ❤💚💙💜
Loved that transfer lol, this is what trip reports are all about, i will probably never fly SATA on the A310, so for me this was a fantastic trip report to watch. Thank you for posting.
Very cool video. Loved the Ponta Delgada airport and the Lajes was nice too. By the way. You got spoiled with that snack (sandwich and juice). Most airlines only give you peanuts and sometimes nothing at all. If you want a real snack you have to be on business (which you have to pay for) or first class. It was nice you were able to walk to and from the planes outdoors. Nice Lisbon aerial view and airpot too. Looks like a shopping mall.
Stunning job! Ponta Delgada seems like a reasonable little airport. I actually hear the Heathrow voice as well as the Ding-Dong sound at boarding used in India when I last went. :) loved the view of your aircraft, and I have not seen boarding by stairs in a Q200 in ages!
Excellent report. Quite honestly I'm surprised you were allowed to film as much as you did. I was in Portugal (Madeira) a few years ago and they were quite strict about filming. I couldn't figure out why. I'm glad you had better luck. Regards
just some fyi, that fog in the q200 window is sea salt, not dirty. sata wash the planes every time after the day is over but azores airports are close to the ocean (and the islands are somewhat small). i heard sata maintenence has a special program because of this
ZRH Trainspotter I’ve been on the Magical one, and I have to say, it’s amazing how quiet and comfortable it is. Since then, the a321NEO is my favourite aircraft in the world 😉
Nice to see you in my native land, Portugal. I'm from Lisbon, but I have to say that the Azores Island (or as we write here, Açores) it's beautiful, and I can't wait to go there. Like your videos btw ;)
Unfreaking believable, I am sitting her, catching up on my Aviation video watching, and I thought to myself, that sound just like the announcements in Terminal 3 at Heathrow! (Worked there for many year a few years ago) the voice sounds uncannily the same. Maybe their moonlighting there on the days off!!
Hey Simply Aviation! Since I am friend with the now retired pilot Robert Piché, I had to tell you about this! Have you heard about the Air Transat A330-200 flight that had lost both engines, and had to glide for 21 minutes on 60 km into Lajes for a successful landing? Well my friend Piché was the pilot! They have made an Air Crash Investigation episode and even a movie about it! Sadly, he really isn't known enough for everything he has done to save those 306 on board. If ever you are interested to know more about it, make sure you check out about Flight Air Transat TS-236!
Hahaha, very short transfer. My shortest transfer was at Singapore Changi Airport, I arrive from Sydney airport & my connection flight was the same plane at the same gate, this happened on the way back from Istanbul to Sydney as well! :D What a coincidence
Hope you visit Lisbon after some years because they are going to start building the NEP "New Airport" in my opinion I actually want the old one to still be open and maybe new construction
Awesome report this 310 looks likes Iran air when I traveled from Tehran ika to London heathrow I was alone in 310 like departed Tehran 7:00 in the morning
I think the a320 has a video screen for the passengers in the side. Was very happy when I got a seat directly in front of those screens. Used to listen on my headset to avoid paying air Arabia for headphones.
Great TripReport! Sad that there isnt much A310s anymore because of how old the planes are... BTW how long was the first flight, it looks like yuo were just riding a bus...
Hello I'm leaving to the Azores in a few days and was wondering what the carry on baggage allowance was like. They don't really specify what you can take on board example small suitcase plus a purse etc.
It’s a A320 having puberty and slowly turning into a A330
TheKingSalmon ! 😂 😂 😂 😂
That's a hilariously perfect description of it! 🤣🤣
🤨
A310 : goes to grandma's and gets fat
Hits the gym for 4 hours a day and becomes the A320
Goes on the keto diet and becomes the A318
Goes to grandma's again and becomes a380
does the cabin also shrink?
😂😂😂
LOL The A380 is how I feel after Thanksgiving or going to a buffet 😂
These tripreports are the highlight of the week, just so good!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
This one is resting in pieces since October 15, farewell A310. It was the last operating in Europe.
Nonstoprocker a130?
i noticed, when i passed through LIS airport in october 2018 i saw CS-TGV in a very bad condition dumped.
it's me or the rear of the Q200's cabin is like a bus O_O
It's like a bus...
Try the Embraer EMB-120 Brasília, which I flew only once, many years ago. If the Q200 is a bus, the Brasília is a minivan!
Simply Aviation Can you please fly with blue air as well. I flew with it
simply aviation, fly Middle east Airlines Buisness class!
JustAviation I was thinkin the same
I miss terceira - went to it with an erasmus project for 5 days and had the time of my life.. Lajes airport is so memorable.

Lol I have never seen a plane that small with a 2-4-2 configuration wowi
Pyrahn Viaud yes
Yes, lovely little plane!
Pyrahn Viaud a330 is not small man xD
a310 look Like a big a319
because its a fat A320
The 3 3 3 configuration is the high density version.
this video is amazing :D too bad the A310 getting rare these days :/
:D
LukeyLoo789 hi again
TheDragonFlyer Aviation yea
Thank you, sadly they are getting rare they are such great aircrafts.
TheDragonFlyer Aviation don't get me started of how the 747 is becoming rare
Die Chancen mit einem A310 zu fliegen sind ja wirklich selten geworden, insofern dafür schon mal ein LIKE! Aber auch der erste Flug hat etwas für sich... Auf jeden Fall aber wieder eine tolle Arbeit!
Dankeschön! Leider musste ich beim ersten Flug um einen "guten Fensterplatz kämpfen" da freie Sitzplatzwahl bei SATA herrscht. :/
Another great report David! I've never flown on both these aircrafts, would like to get a chance in future
You have to go to Iran because nearly everywhere else they are already retired.
great video David, i watched in class with no sound so cant comment on the heathrow voice but i can comment on how amazing this was, well done :)
+Sean Willis Thank you so much Sean! Hope you didn't do that during an important class!^^
Simply Aviation no problem :) it was break so it was fine haha :)
Simply Aviation just watched at home with sound and yeah it's like the exact same!
Bei jedem Video von dir fühlt man sich immer wie im Urlaub ein Stück. Du machst das großartig!
Dankeschön, freut uns echt das zu hören, das ist auch unsere Ziel das man sich fühlt als würde man mit uns Reisen.^^
i used to work in Ercan Airport/N.Cyprus, my fav bird was A310, such a great plane, short but wide body, comfy as well when you consider it was about 15-20 years ago
I simply can't stop watching simply aviation! Thanks for the awesome videos bro
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
This video reminds me of the several flights ✈ I took on Air India's A310, domestically and on International routes too, like Singapore, Hong Kong and Dubai from Mumbai. ❤💚💙💜
Best part of every video: 0:02 xD
That's true!!
Your videos are really Amazing!! Excellent work mate! I Always enjoy watching your videos! Keep doing it! ✈️😊
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
Yay! Pünktlich zum Mittagessen ist das Video da! Gute Arbeit ;)
+Paldadin Genau, wie immer um 12:30 Uhr ^^
Sehr gut :D Wenigstens etwas worauf man sich verlassen kann ;)
... Das.. ist eine.. gut.. video ? i'm sorry for my german XD
Not bad :) "Das ist ein gutes Video" Sounds better ;)
Loved that transfer lol, this is what trip reports are all about, i will probably never fly SATA on the A310, so for me this was a fantastic trip report to watch. Thank you for posting.
When I Travel The World #RoadTo20k
Your welcome! Hopefully you'll get the chance once, but sadly they will be all retired soon, gonna miss them :/
You have to, I love the A310 they are great but sadly they will be replaced soon :/
Bald habt ihr die 20K erreicht - krass ;)
Ja, kann das selbst kaum glauben.
Awesome as always! The interior of Bombardier looks like the ATR. Hahaha, I really hate waiting too long the queue when entering the airplane :)
Same, I hate in generell long queues..
Very cool video. Loved the Ponta Delgada airport and the Lajes was nice too. By the way. You got spoiled with that snack (sandwich and juice).

Great video
Simply Aviation = Best channel on youtube
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
I don't think I've ever even seen an a310! Great video David✈😊
Thank you! :D

Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
When you buy airbus a330 in online , you will get this plane😂😂
Brilliant Video David and congratulations, you are about to reach 20k subs!!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
I love all of your TRIPREPORT video its so cool
Excellent report. Quite honestly I'm surprised you were allowed to film as much as you did. I was in Portugal (Madeira) a few years ago and they were quite strict about filming. I couldn't figure out why. I'm glad you had better luck. Regards
The ba 767 has 2-3-2 configuration It used to fly lhr-bwi but BA put a Dreamliner with a 3-3-3(767 much better)
Yes sadly they try to get as much passengers in the plane as they can.
wow Airbus310 nice video David! :D
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
Great video as always nice to see an A310 here
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
I find the A310 such a tall aircraft; I love it!
The A310 is just amazing!
Really nice video, I love when you board the plane from outside.
I too!
Toller Tripreport! Daumen hoch!
Dankeschön!
FINALLY AN AIRLINE WITH COMMON SENSE. 2-4-2 for couples then families. Jetstar needs to listen when they place a firm order for a320 Neos
Ignore my comment I just remember a320s are single aisles :/
Great video! It's been so long since i've seen an A310
Yes, sadly they are really rare today.
That's an awesome little plane! I love tiny rj's!
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
nice job David you make a such a great video every week.during 2 years i was living in vienna very nice city :)
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
just some fyi, that fog in the q200 window is sea salt, not dirty. sata wash the planes every time after the day is over but azores airports are close to the ocean (and the islands are somewhat small). i heard sata maintenence has a special program because of this
Okay but I wasn't possible to look through a clear window...
another sick video mate, keep it up.
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
No problem :D
YAY annother awsome video in Portugal :D
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
:D
Didn't know that you were at Azores. BTW Nice video man!!!
Yes I already posted another video to the Azores: th-cam.com/video/NZdzJA6C-A8/w-d-xo.html
He deserves more subs your ace these vids re cool I'm a new subscriber 😊
Thank you so much, I hope that I get new subscribers every day! ;)
I was thrilled to see that the a310 was widebody aircraft!
Bad news: I saw CS-TGV in Lisbon being dumped and dirty looking
ZRH Trainspotter They retired them :(, at least they replaced them with brand new a321NEO’s
Yes that’s good!
ZRH Trainspotter I’ve been on the Magical one, and I have to say, it’s amazing how quiet and comfortable it is. Since then, the a321NEO is my favourite aircraft in the world 😉
Martin Rey wow cool! My favorite aircraft is the A350-900 ;)
Nice to see you in my native land, Portugal. I'm from Lisbon, but I have to say that the Azores Island (or as we write here, Açores) it's beautiful, and I can't wait to go there. Like your videos btw ;)
The Azores are really beautiful, I enjoyed it very much!
Who doesn't? xD
i have ride this old plane too... yeh , only 2 hour flight , n the jet sound r amazing! XD
sadly it was just a 2 hour flight, could fly it easily for 8 to 10 hours! ;)
Unfreaking believable, I am sitting her, catching up on my Aviation video watching, and I thought to myself, that sound just like the announcements in Terminal 3 at Heathrow! (Worked there for many year a few years ago) the voice sounds uncannily the same. Maybe their moonlighting there on the days off!!
Yes it really sounds like Heathrow!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
The landing gear on the atr or Q400 whatever plane it was looks soo cool
Liked before watching! Love your videos! Did you like the a310 not many pax versions left!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that! I really like the A310 great old Airbus!!
Yep, PA system is the same at LHR and all ANA Airports (in Portugal) use the same system. I find it quite soothing lol.
And the famous Lisbon Airport S1 door... entered through there many times because TAP Embraer 190 unfortunately does not use airbridge at Lisbon :(
2:00
what
Hey Simply Aviation! Since I am friend with the now retired pilot Robert Piché, I had to tell you about this!

The voice indeed is the same as on LHR. That system is called Aviavox and is used on many more airports like AMS, DEL, DOH, EIN and LTN :).
Hahaha, very short transfer. My shortest transfer was at Singapore Changi Airport, I arrive from Sydney airport & my connection flight was the same plane at the same gate, this happened on the way back from Istanbul to Sydney as well! :D What a coincidence
We'll than this is not really a connection if you're taking the same plane again.
This video made me miss Kuwait Airways' beautiful A300s and A310s, retired in late 2015💔
Sadly the A300/a310 will all disappear soon from the skies. :/
omg u flew on the same a310 as jeb brooks
I didn't even know that a smaller version than the Q300 exists. ;) Awesome video, guys! Kepp on doing this amazing stuff.
Thank you so much, there's even a smaller one out there a Q100 ;)
@@simply_aviation the smaller version is usedd to operate in small islands like Flores and Corvo.
Hope you visit Lisbon after some years because they are going to start building the NEP "New Airport" in my opinion I actually want the old one to still be open and maybe new construction
Sure I'll visit LIS again ;)
On the q200 did you not want the middle seat at the back because then you had tons of legroom
Awesome too see the A310!
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
PORTUGAL!!!!! My Country is so wonderful!
The Azores are really beautiful!
I was flying on both aircrafts. The CS-TRC which you had to Teceira and the CT-TGV. Sadly the A310 is gone.
Wow, you were lucky to fly on such a retro plane. Never flew on Airbus A310.
I scheduled my vacation so catch this beautiful bird! :D
Simply Aviation You must love airplane a lot.
Simply Aviation great video :-)
Hey I been there! I travel to Pico once a year to vist family. Amazing pilots!
Awesome report this 310 looks likes Iran air when I traveled from Tehran ika to London heathrow I was alone in 310 like departed Tehran 7:00 in the morning
Wow really the whole plane for you?
The announcement voice used at PDL and LHR is also used at Brussels Airport. Very same voice hehe!
I love your videos! Good job 👏🏻
Dave Pereira same as in Odessa, Ukraine.
A lot of airports use the same voice.
Dat timeing dou! Awesome video!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
:)
+Simply Aviation, I think that it's better to do trip reports with vlogs. Anyways, this is awesome xD
We'll try this in the future...
PDL also uses the same announcements and LTN and FCO i believe
I think the a320 has a video screen for the passengers in the side. Was very happy when I got a seat directly in front of those screens. Used to listen on my headset to avoid paying air Arabia for headphones.
That's why you always have to take your headphones with you!
Announcement sounds exactly like in Schiphol!
And also in the philippines too
And Luton
amazing . i Like ur making of trip teports :D continue
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
Great TripReport! Sad that there isnt much A310s anymore because of how old the planes are... BTW how long was the first flight, it looks like yuo were just riding a bus...
That's really sad that they will be soon gone...it was about 2h.
EXCELLENT! WITH COMPLIMENTS.
I could be wrong, but I think the chime before the "Heathrow voice" is also at Heathrow!
Lovely little plane.
The 2-4-2 seating looks far better than the cramped 3-3-3 arrangement on the A310 jets I've been in.
Haven't experienced yet the A310 in 3-3-3...
Cool video!
Many airports have this voice
Excellent trip report! :)
This is amazing, I wish I could fly more but my parents don't have the money and next time I go abroad I am taking a cruise
Than you have to fly Low Cost Carriers...they have sometimes fares starting from 1€.
Simply Aviation thanks! We're planning a trip to Dublin soon, so I'll keep that in mind! :D
the good thing of tiny planes is that you always have a wing veiw or engine view
Crazy Minecart1 true
That's true!
Nice video👍🏼 Very interesting
You got to fly on the Dash 8! My favourite plane :D
Thanks it was a great ride!
My God, the a310's size is amazing.
Can't wait to see one of your tripreport in an A350.
Here's our A350 report: th-cam.com/video/rQYmfdyUha8/w-d-xo.html
Hello I'm leaving to the Azores in a few days and was wondering what the carry on baggage allowance was like. They don't really specify what you can take on board example small suitcase plus a purse etc.
CS-TRC was the registration for your first flight. 1 of only 2 -200s in the SATA fleet. You can see it on the nose gear doors at 2:18.
Thank you! for the information! :D
great! thank you very much
Your welcome! :D Thank you so much for watching and commenting! :D
Awesome Trip Report!! ☺️
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
Hi @Simply Aviation! I just subscribed! Love your videos. I have two question though. What language do you speak and are you from Austria? Thanks!:D
+Jackson Scandalis Hey^^ Thank you so much! I speak German, English and a bit of Spanish and yes I'm from Austria :)
Great video dude. I never having flight with A310. It does like A320, maybe has a relationship between A320, just like B767 similar to B757.
A300 and A310 have a relationship but it can not be compared with a A320.
Adrian Chu fly with SATA If yiu can not adores airlines they have a A330 not a a310 if yiu want to go to ponta delgada
I like your channel!
Thank you very much! :D Very glad to hear that!
The Airbus 310-300 is a few meters longer than an Airbus 321 and about 8-9 meters longer than a Airbus 320
