- Welcome to another Southwest trip report!
On April 23, I flew from Las Vegas McCarran International Airport to Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport on a Southwest 737-800. This was my first time doing a trip report on their -800, and I must say the seats were amazing! They feature a generous 32 inches of pitch and the widest seats of any other 737 variant at 17.6 inches.
I hope you enjoy the trip report!

OH MY LORD!! That shot of the Vegas Strip on takeoff was stunnnnnningg!!!! Keep up the awesome work buddy.
kennyA the best view ever on takeoff
Bq
That WAS an awesome shot 👏
7:00
Even though you sat in the last row, it looked like a pretty comfy flight!
Flyingwithlukeandalex right
I love this aircraft. I’ve flown on southwests 800s with the heart livery a few times. It’s such a beautiful plane with an amazing engine sound
FA: *laughing*
Quintin: we're gonna die
I have flown Southwest myself and I really love the open boarding policy because I am 6 foot and 6 inches I can pick an emergency exit row Which I need badly. I just love your trip reports! Keep up the great work!
Thanks QFS !!
Wow, really loved the Southwest Tribute at the end!
What a random flight 😂, I like how they affirmed it wasn’t the MAX aircraft. The winglets look really good at night how they light up,. Cheers 4 another great vid mr S
Normal people:
**sees a 737**
OMG LET ME UNBOARD THIS PLANE WE'RE GONNA CRASH !!
Me: Just because a 737 has some split scimitars doesn't mean it's a 737 MAX
"Is this the MAX?"
"This is the 737-800, this is NOT the MAX...."
*Passenger does stuff during presentation*
FA: *can't stop laughing*
*we're gonna die*
EmJeeButterz this is the max u can tell by the wings
KolbeinnE Yt Its not the MAX its a 737-800 Ultimate.
You mean the 737-800ER?
Parker Roediger idk when i rode the same flight and same winglets it didnt say 737-800ER it just said 737-800.
KolbeinnE Yt you can if it is a max by the engines actually
At the airport filming my own stuff and couldn’t help but stop and watch this! Great content as always man
Yo I’m a fan of yours and I think you are underrated. Can you do more trip reports. Maby go to Houston?
Man, nice video! Believe it or not, I flew to Las Vegas for the first time in my life on June 25th, 2019, four days after you uploaded this video. I live in El Paso, Texas and that trip was my parents college graduation gift from them to me. When we went back to El Paso on June 30th, we took off opposite of you guys. where the strip was on the right side of the plane. Fortunately I saw it and recorded it but accidentally deleted it :(. Overall, this was a great trip report. You and KG Aviation NEVER disappoint. By the way, that jazz at the end had me dancing. I LOVE jazz!
I love Southwest’s paint scheme and that heart was a nice touch! Great video!! Maybe it was empty because people thought it was the MAX.
More bacon!! I’m more inclined to watch videos that have these quirky touches. Thanks for a great video-each one gets better!
Haha thanks! I’m glad you appreciate them
Hey qfs did u get on the jetblue inaugural to london
What a great report, I really liked the editing of the video and also how pleasant, how quiet. I really enjoyed it (your website is also very nice, congratulations!). I subscribed and I hope to continue seeing more trips lol, many greetings from Chile!
the first time I flew on Southwest, I wasn't sure what to think of the open seating, but I can tell you now that it is the smartest idea anyone came up with in this industry,
It is very smart. It helps speed up the boarding too, which is critical for them.
Great video. Love Southwest and the 737-800.
New livery all the way!!! Gives off a cleaner, sleeker look that can't be beat...
Wow that cabin is spotless !! Nice ride.
this Q re-view is brought to you by bacon...and more bacon. the short trip from Vegas to Phoenix as highlighted by a beautiful take off and a little surprise at the end. well done Quebec Foxtrot Sierra and thanks for sharing!!!
I love Las Vegas. And this video :)
Awesome vid! To everybody that thinks this is. 737 MAX it’s not. They are currently grounded and have been since March. This is a 737-800
Always love trip reports from LAS
That cabin is so much nicer than the flight I just got off of. Our plane had the heart livery but a dated interior unfortunately.
Ridgeview i was on one of those planes from Atlanta to chicago midway old interior new exterior
All 800 series (older ones) are in the phases of being retrofitted with the new seats. All 8300 series had the Evolve interior along with standard winglets before refurbishment and retrofit if the Split Skimmitar Winglets and new seats. Whatever 800’s that have the older seats will be retrofitted with the new seats like the one you were in. N8314L was built in 2012 as all in the N83XX series have all completed refurbishment!
Wow. I thought the heart interior was only present on the -800s that were 6 years old and under. I just flew on 2 -800s (one 10 years old the other 8) and both still had the evolve interior.
i hope you enjoy flying southwest airlines that my favorite airline aka free bags and get to sit wherever
@@liflyer0413 ive experienced delta, american, midwest, frontier, and expressjet so ive flown other airlines
Oh my god, I loved the tribute you did at the end. Fantastic music too. 10/10!!
Thank you!
QFS Aviation you’re welcome man!
Strange this wasn’t a sold out flight. Excellent view of the strip and night scene on the way out! 👍
.
Prefer the new livery. Keep up the awesome work Quintin! FYI, when the plane is losing altitude, it is spelled "descent", not "decent". Otherwise, a perfect and entertaining video... especially the takeoff view of the Strip and the banter between you and your travel companion! :)
Lol😂, we gonna crash. "Is this the max?" I'm dead😂
i love those new blue seats on southwest airlines 737-800s
wow ! that was a nice flight
Southwest Remembers.
American Airlines published "retirement schedule of flights" for MD-80 on september 4th . Could be great if you will report one . Very last flight DFW-ORD is booked out already but many other are still available. I planning to book one roundtrip for two different MD-80 before sep 4th but many your subscribers have no chance to say " good bye "...
Awesome video man!
We will always remember Southwest peanuts...
MCI Aviation I’d happily not remember them as I’m allergic to them so if I eat them I could have a reaction
Well, can you drive from Las Vegas to Phoenix in American Truck Simulator? I've done that once while doing a quick job.
Signed, Angela.
I flew Southwest from BUR-DEN and had a plane with the new paint but not the heart interior. Also I have a route recommendation. Could you fly into SBA? They have glass jetways and a unique baggage claim!!
Noahvis4 Gaming yea it was a 737-700
you guys are having too much fun(LOL), thanks again!!
Bruh, every single Southwest flight I have flown on always has completely sold out seats
Forza Aviation this is funny how I find you on YT. It’s bdl aviation here btw
I'm about 50/50 on SWA flights, only about half the SWA flights I've taken were full, the other half were empty. My most recent trip was a 1/2 full MAX 8 going out (DEN-PDX) about a month before the MAX was grounded, going back was on a -700 that was about 2/3rds full. I've flown on SWA flights years ago that were just as empty as the one in this video.
mrvwbug44 I don’t understand how they manage to be under the MTOW when they allow 2 FREE check in bags and have like full flights every single day.
Forza Aviation I always get the flights with one empty seat and it's always the middle seat in the last row.
You should try flying into RDU Raleigh-Durham. Small but pretty cool place to fly. Terminal 1 is SWA and Terminal 2 is everybody else.
The bulkheads look different. Is this a refurbed aircraft that used to have the Evolve interior?
Another awesome video Quintin! What's with the Baconator burger? LOL. I happen to love Community Coffee! I have to order it online as very few stores in Iowa sell it! Again an awesome enjoyable video! I have a friend flying to the States in November. I keep thinking I should encourage them to connect onto Southwest once they arrive from the Philippines! Great video! Mark in Iowa.
3:25 you gotta love southwest
I like the new livery way better than the old one!
Also I don’t get to fly Southwest’s 737-800s very often! 95% of my Southwest flights are Sacramento-Orange County and they usually put 737-700s on those flights. I feel like the 737-800s are a way better experience.
13:23 I flew N8620H from PHX-LAS last year!!!!!!!
I love how they got rid of the peanuts, but if you look at the back of the pretzel bag, it clearly states that it was produced in a factory that handles nuts.
I like the new livery on the 800s and the old livery in the 700s. That’s just my opinion
My hometown airport used to have a direct flight to Vegas on Southwest. No more : ( I like the new livery and the cabin looks nice and comfy.
Southwest looks pretty good prolly the best LCC carrier in American than is jetblue
Anderson Rodriguez like it cuz of the b737 the livery matches great
There not even low-cost ahaha atleast outta lax all there flights are 300 plus on a good day; you can go Delta American United frontier spirit etc for fat less.. Southwest used to be my guys I flew on my first flight a 737 back with there brown an orange livery
“This is the Boeing 737-800. It is not the MAX.” 🙏🙏🙏
Everyone who has flown southwest knows that their peanuts where the best.
NXS Fruity your totally right
Nope.
Great video liked it. Hope you make a another one
"We're dead". I think that's a reference to the Captain sounding like a crazy clown and Mr Harley Davidson's antics. The Las Vegas strip looks amazing from the sky.
I've never flown southwest but I dont mind having them with 2 different liveries.
I fly Southwest often and I like their new interiors better. I just wish they would bring back more flights to Long Island MacArthur Airprort. (ISP) To bad they won't make a hub at the Three Major NY Airports either. (JFK, LGA, or EWR)
I 💯 agree. They used to have dozens of destinations, but they reduced 75% of their ISP operation
I'm assuming that's your younger brother eating the burger,sitting in the row ahead of your? Upon boarding the -800,odd placing of that countertop,takes up some valuable seating space--because I'm over 21(and then some!)I would've have gladly moved some rows up to obtain a free 'adult beverage'! With the a/c mostly empty,has the feel of a repositioning flight,I'm guessing it was the last flight of the day from LAS--how did you get that view of Vegas from the highway? Did you overnight in PHX or does SWA have a red-eye to NYC?
nice video as always I flew southwest when I was little to Orlando and I think I would wanna try them again to see what they are like
The last time I was on a plane that empty Elvis was still alive.
Hey @QFSAviation fly AIR TRANSAT in the a321LR or The a330 those are the best planes to do a video in First Class yo take the flight from Montreal or Toronto. Please take it at a suggestion Thank You
I like the new livery
My fav airline!
Haha, for a split second there I thought the cup said "Communist Coffee" 😂
I prefer the orange color rather than the new yellow. The orange looked much more southwest in the earth colors.
Looking cool....Fly safe always...
I like the new, the blue rocks
interesting that the crew are highlighting it's a 737-800 and not a max aircraft,,,,,
Nice video keep it up!
Could you do a trip report on Hawaiian airlines A330 First class?
I like the new livery as the old one is stodgey.
Fly N711HK sometime. Herb Kelleher One
you have a crazy seatmate... if he continues to bother you sir........we have Duct Tape...:)
DL Brittain 😂
So SWA doesn't have the widest 737 seat anymore. The United MAX 9 has an 18 inch wide seat. Though by virtue of the MAX being grounded SWA has the widest 737 seat among planes not grounded.
Maybe he meant 737NG
QFS: we’re gonna DIE
Flight attendant: laughs loud
7 mins later lands safely
thejazzguy13 aviation gave it a 10 out of 10 flying a 737-800 from baltimore to pittsburgh
Dude you are awesome
Once I saw one of these planes and it was missing it’s lower winglet on one side
my flight to atlanta from st louis only 60 people onboard out of 143 people and my flight to chicago midway from atlanta had 97 out of 175 people we were told to spread out
Con you do a trip report to SJD???
What airport code is that
that flight seems to be fun to fly with
u lol
We Are Flying this Airline Next Month N I wanna know more
Wait is this the max? This is the one that crashed right? I'm legit dyeing rn💀
I'm flying this rn
phoenix to las vegas is a hub to hub route on southwest
michael sharp got that right love SW
@@AviatorGamer To many stops in between destination from SF to El Paso gotta stop in San Diego, and Phoenix takEs for ever it seems rather drive...
how many people were on board this flight
I prefer the new livery….definitely !
do you know who ATL Aviation and Lax aviation are as well as the friends theplanesguy was with in Atlanta and ever met them before in person or followed them on instagram
“We’re gonna crash”
Little did he know, it’s not a max
Southwest NEW livery
if southwest's old livery had the text on the fuselage and not the tail, i would like it better.
Going to Los Angeles from ANC on Alaska airlines In just a couple hours!
Oh yeah yeah have a good flight👍👍
Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah, Thank you!
Is the dude you are traveling with your brother ?
More bacon
why the last row quintin
I was just about to ask the same question
Best seat for trip reports. Entire view of the cabin
Qfs aviation the picture of the 737-800 on the trip report that plane picture was taken in Columbus John Glenn Columbus International Airport at night
I flew this route but in reverse
night takeoffs are fantastic

So you can just sit wherever you want on Southwest?
Yep you just have to buy a ticket to board the plane
