Land at Sydney on 16L, views of Sydney Harbour, Sydney Harbour Bridge, Sydney Opera House and City. Enjoy! #sydney #sydneyharbour #sydneyoperahouse #sydneyharbourbridge
Thanks for this lovely video of arrival into Sydney. No matter how much I've enjoyed a trip away I always feel a mixture of exhilaration & teariness as we fly into beautiful Sydney - always glad to be home.
Love the timing length of this video: 747, most appropriate! Alan, England ( watched because daughter Alana is out there now, and wanted to see what she saw as she approached her new life).
Great vid I ejoyed that I saw Chatswood, Nth Sydney, a train on the northern line, parramatta rd, and that big uni near broadway, very enjoyable and ciao for now
Yes, Sydney is certainly beautiful around the harbour areas. As you can see, the harbour has many coves and bays making it great for boating. The metro population I think I around 5 million at the moment.
Your video brought back lots of memories of my own arrival into Sydney. I travelled there to watch my wife compete as a member of the U.S. Equestrian Team during the 2000 Sydney Games. It had already been a long day of travelling by the time I reached Los Angeles to connect to my 16-hour Qantas flight in the middle seat, in economy, in the screaming baby section. After such a long time on the plane we suddenly found ourselves flying over land with a view of the famous Opera House and the Harbor Bridge right at sunset. After a slow turn we flew right over the Olympic Stadium with the torch burning before we touched down at the airport. It seemed a wonderful welcome to Australia.
@@Dawnraider Peter, you are correct that it was out at Horsely Park. I remember having to take the train from Parramatta where I was staying out to Blacktown and then get on a bus. Alas, no medals for my wife at the 2000 Sydney Games but nonetheless it was a huge accomplishment and honor to get to go compete (and I didn't have to pay for it). I did learn that when she is competing at that level that I needed to leave her alone as she has her 'game face' on. The last day I was in Australia, she found me out in the public area and asked if I could take just a couple of things home with me as she would be there for another few days. She then loaded me with three military size duffle bags. When I was checking in with Qantas the next morning I mentioned that this was all my wife's stuff as she is competing and the nice Qantas lady didn't charge me anything extra for the grossly excessive weight I was checking in. When I got home and opened the bags, I found it was all of my wife's (and horse's) dirty laundry.
@@Dawnraider Peter, I felt that Sydney and Australia in general put on a magnificent Games, one that you should rightly feel very proud of. Everyone was friendly and helpful and obviously make an effort to make all of your guests feel very welcome. I count myself as very lucky to have had the opportunity to travel there.
Nice video! I always enjoy the approach and landing into Syd, I usually end up coming in over the water though. This way was cool too because you get to see more of the city.
Wow what an amazing smooth landing! I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to smaller planes on European flights but I’ve never seen a landing so well done. Brilliant job of filming it too. We land in Sydney on 3rd Jan to start our new lives. Travel exemptions are complete. Praying for a landing like this one! Haha
Oh forgot about this comment til I got a heart notification yesterday! I was lucky I had the perfect flight and smooth landing in Sydney and now live in Brisbane. Feel like I won the lottery every day 😂
I’ve been to cities that never close down From New York to Rome and old London Town. But no matter how far or how wide I go, I still call Australia home. Every single time I fly into beautiful Sydney I just beam with pride with that song in my head.
Got goosebumps the moment it touched the land...haha I find that time always thrilling...also when it takes off...I hope by this time next year I'd be landing in Sydney 🙏
I have never arrived in Sydney from this angle. It's always been north-south runway or in over the sea on the east-west runway. Thank you. It was most interesting to see it.
I love picking out all the familiar landmarks. It is the most exciting thing to do, to come into Sydney from the Northern Suburbs. But you have to ensure you get a seat on the left of the plane !!
in 2013 I spent a 25 day holiday in woolongong and in 2014 I spent a 3 month holiday again,my Aussie family was so good and generous to invite me at their cost and those holidays were so unforgettable!I remember landing at d Sydney airport via QANTAS and they were awesome landings!my first landing was very exciting and d second one was very nostalgic!I roamed around Sydney and went to Canberra too!thank you Australia for d wonderful time,thank you mates!the beers were so cold and super!!!!

Excellent landing , marvelous views as I was myself next to the plane window admiring the terrific area of Sydney .I missed a trip there from London in 1978 .I was 25. I don' t think I ' ll have the opportunity again . Love from Algerie to you Sir.

Exactly right. You actually fly over the East/West runway and the private jet terminal before touch down. Then there is the long taxi back to the terminal.
Sydney's not bad for a place that started as a Penal Colony 200 years ago. Fun Fact: Captain Cook actually missed Sydney Harbour. He hit Botany Bay but sailed straight passed The Sydney Harbour Heads. It was Captain Phillip that first sailed into the harbour. He was blown away by how majestic and deep it was. Then he unloaded his cargo of Irish Rebels, thieves and bad boys. That was 200 years ago. Fun Fact. Sydney became a Penal Colony because King George 3 lost North America and couldn't send the bad boys there anymore. So off to Australia the bad boys went.
This is true. It is an amazing Harbour and can see how it could have been missed with the lofty sandstone cliffs presenting a daunting barrier. It is a bit like a washing machine sailing in and out.
@@Dawnraider Merry Christmas. Fun Facts. Captain Cook's Maps were closely guarded Military Secrets. Britain was at war with France and it would be treason to let them copy Cook's Maps. Cook made 3 Circumnavigations and The Endeavour was a converted Coal Ship. He was killed trying to recover his nautical equipment.
Merry Christmas to you too. Yes, maps were the currency of the day. Countries jealously protected their maps so as to be able to retain exclusivity with new found trading markets.
I’m now watching this as a Sydneysider trapped living in Singapore during covid 2020..what a view , what a city. I love you Sydney ❤️ 🇦🇺
Stay safe and hope you get home soon. Meanwhile enjoy the best choices of food anywhere. 😄
Peter Doornbos thanks mate! Hoping to make it home soon. Enjoyed your video very much.

I had the pleasure to visit your beautiful city in 2016, and oh man what a city it is💕 love and greetings from Iraqi Kurdistan.
It's better than being a Sydneysider trapped in Chicago during covid 2020...
Thanks for this lovely video of arrival into Sydney. No matter how much I've enjoyed a trip away I always feel a mixture of exhilaration & teariness as we fly into beautiful Sydney - always glad to be home.
Spectacular view of Sydney to one who’s never been there!

I get that you're referring to the length of the video, but just an FYI - that's an A320 wing.

I hope you do. It might just be a long time with the world as it is at the moment. Stay safe.
As it comes closure to Sydney could identify places like Harbour Bridge, ANZAC Bridge, Barangaroo buildings. Great capture Peter 👏
Thank you.
Great Video

Hi Tyrone, it's actually an Airbus A320 belonging to Air New Zealand.

Terimah kaseh. I miss KL.
I’ll swap KL for Sydney 😉
Excellent landing and a great window side view.
Planned for a southward landing in seat selection.
Ohhhhh makes me want to fly back home to Sydney...
Yes, traveling anywhere would be nice. We're drowning in rain at the moment though.
One of the best landing-video I ve seen. Amazing
Thanks so much, feel free to share.

Got goosebumps the moment it touched the land...haha I find that time always thrilling...also when it takes off...I hope by this time next year I'd be landing in Sydney 🙏
Yes those are the most exciting phases of flight. Let's hope we will be flying again soon.

I have never arrived in Sydney from this angle. It's always been north-south runway or in over the sea on the east-west runway. Thank you. It was most interesting to see it.
It is the best approach for sure, you get to see everything if you're on the left side.

Thanks so much for video welcome back to my channel from Indonesia 🇲🇨
Thank God It Landed Safely
Have landed in SYD, both Internationally, & Domestically many hundreds’ of times’, & never tire of the views’. Happiest when I can see ‘The Coathanger’, & the Opera House, THEN I really know I’m heading to SYD airport! Flying is the most fabulous experience……Go the big, white ‘Roo!
Great experience eh. Sydney is just a maze of waterways and trying to make sense of it all as your soar over.
I am in Sydney right now
3:13 OMG Chatswood
Great view eh
As we enter Year 2 of Covid videos like this one will get a lot of views!
So true. Living it virtually.
Thank you, TH-cam!!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️
The threshold of 16L is a long long way south of the rest of the airport. So you're still very very high when you cross over the airport "grounds".
Exactly right. You actually fly over the East/West runway and the private jet terminal before touch down. Then there is the long taxi back to the terminal.

It wasn't me. 😜
I was in Bali in October I wish I could travel to Sydney it was so close but my weak passport could never
If Bali seems close to Sydney you must come from a long way. I think Bali is around 7 hours and most of that time is spent crossing Australia.
