- Welcome to my channel!
This is my fourth flight report. In this one I’m taking you in my first ever long haul/intercontinental/heavy flight. I flew from Amsterdam to New York JFK in economy on one of my favourite airlines, Delta Airlines! During my internship at AMS Delta flights were one of my favourites to handle and that’s when my love for Delta was born. After years of dreaming it was finally time to go to my favourite country for the first time: The United States 🇺🇸
I flew there again a few months later on another airline so subscribe not to miss these flight reports!

Overall score: ★ ★ ★ ★
- Seat: the seat was very comfortable and legroom was good as well
- In flight entertainment: lots of choice between music, movies, series, games etc. Although some movies didn’t have Dutch or any subtitles at all. Luckily this isn’t as much as a problem for me
- Food: food was great, we had food service twice and throughout the flight snacks were available to take for free in the AFT galley.
- Crew: crew was really nice and helpful. Went to have a talk with them and they were really enthusiastic.
- Amsterdam Airport: fortunately we didn’t have to wait in line as long as they said on the news. Lovely airport, always love to fly from my workplace ;)
- JFK Airport: Great airport but extremely long lines at immigrations. My suitcase was damaged and it was really hard to find the Delta desk. In the end we had to walk all the way into domestic arrivals (which you could enter right from landside?). Crew at the desk wasn’t really nice.
I hope you like the video!

0:14 : This busyness only got worse and worse. In the summer that followed lines for security got so long that some people had to wait for 6 hours! We ended up in one of those lines too, watch it here👉 th-cam.com/video/QOHO3IinU78/w-d-xo.html
Long live Delta. We are proud and glad to have them as a long term customer. We employ over 45,000 people in Germany allone working for Airbus in Bremen, Stade,Hamburg, Heidelberg and Brandenburg. So every order is a gurantee for the future and a promise to deliver the best German/French tough build aircraft for our customer in Atlanta. So. Thank you Delta and always happy landings.
Wow butter landing
Nice trip report. Delta sure loves its Passion Fruit apparently. lol
Thank you! Yea I think they do hahaha
Thats a great report ! Keep posting them theyre really nice to watch !
Thank you so much!
Love Amsterdam Airport! Will be coming all the way from australia in September, 24 hour trip 💀, great filming skills and commentary it really made me feel like I was on the flight, great job!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it. Amsterdam is a great airport, have you been there before?
Good luck on your 24 hours trip, which airport are you transferring? ;)
one of the only airbus jets I haven't flown on. I even got to fly the old a300 back in the olympic days as a kid. I
ll have to get some seat time on one of these and bring the go pro
I remember flying for the first time to the USA from Amsterdam in 1991 as a 13 year old girl and seeing the skyline of NYC - I was so excited, so happy .... I remember choosing a special song on my 'walkman' for each special destination and even today whenever I hear a certain song, I am back in that plane landing in a dream location. Back then the immigration line was long, but nothing too bad. Last time I flew to the US, the line was almost 2 hours long and that was sadly my 'sorry but never again' moment.
That moment of seeing the skyline is indescribable! I also made a whole playlist with special songs for this trip.
Sad how these lines are always so long, but don’t let it keep you from visiting the US!
No one beats delta it's my favorite airline
12:56 Bless you
Nicely detailed video! I hope to make this trip myself next year😊
Thank you! If you get the chance definitely do it
Awesome video, liked and subscribed 🙌
Thankss! Subbed back
Nice👍 the polderbann amazing place to spot
Thank you! The Polderbaan is truly amazing
Amazing! Wist niet eens dat je Nederlands was. Maar leuke video, ik heb eindelijk een Nederlandse trip report gevonden.
Ja klopt! Dankjewel! Er komt nog veel aan
Very nice!
Thank you!
Great, fun video! Was the plane as empty as it seemed, or did you just not capture all the passengers. My next DL long haul is April. MCO-ATL-TLV, then TLV-JFK-MCO. Can’t wait. A350 outbound. A330-9 return.
Thank you! The plane was quite full, we boarded very early so that’s why it looked so empty.
Looks like you have some great flights ahead! The Delta A350 looks good, I’d love to try it one day. Enjoy your trip
Nice ✈ 👌
Thanks!!
Hey dude, great video!!! I just found your channel, and you are SERIOUSLY underrated! I liked and left a sub!😉
Hey, thank you so much for your kind words! Subbed back😄
I flew into JFK twice (late 80's and early 90's) but never directly as even back then, the immigration lines were infamous. I've lately been flying into the US again and I'll always try to avoid having to go through immigration at JFK 🙂
Hahaha yea I get it, immigration lines at JFK were incredibly long :,(
Really nice report!
Thanks!!
@@jsaviation You are welcome!
@@MadeiraAirport Love your channel btw, subscribed!
@@jsaviation Thanks!
great video , i always wanna fly Delta A330 neo since the airline debuted , last August I booked DL 330 neo from JFK to Barcelona via AMS, at the day of departure, Delta switched old Northwest era A330 ceo with old PW engine, I definitely will try again this year for the A330 neo, perhaps JFK to CDG has higher chance not to get last minute switch to 330 ceo?
Ahh that’s bad! I’ve seen delta switching their A330neo at AMS so many times. I think CDG has a better chance not to get the last minute change indeed. But I heard CDG sucks to transfer at tho
very nice video! Please come to Japan too !😃
Thank you! I love Japan, hope to visit some day!
Grest experience. So your internship was a tdelts. How was that actually. Want to work with Delta or United as a side hustle
My internship was with the assistance at Schiphol so we handled every single flight at the airport. But the delta flights were my favourites to handle. I want to work with KLM 😄
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
A330 neo with RR engines sounds a lot quieter than B777 GE90, I flew times btw AMS and JFK all with KLM, didn't get the opportunity to fly Delta 's A330 Neo, which will definitely be my 1st choice next trip to AMS .... Only Neo not Ceo ( a330 -300)
The A330neo is indeed way more quiet on board. You should definitely try Delta’s A330neo, it’s a very comfortable aircraft. I hope you enjoyed KLM and AMS!
Delta will finally be using A330 NEO from Heathrow to Los Angeles and JFK from March. I like A330 900NEO as my current favourite plane hopefully fly on 1 day
I hope so for you too! The A330-900neo really is a nice place
@@jsaviation Ive been on A330 300 that was great plane. But, to me I like the look of this over A350 and B787. I went on B787-9 last year to LA and back from Las Vegas on Virgin great plane too. Was annoyed a bit when supposed to fly with A350-1000 but was changed.
In terms of spoilers midflight, it's used all the time, especially in a traffic-heavy area such as new york. I had a 20 minute landing video and about 10 minutes of it included spoilers. Also I am flying a very similar route this winter as I am going to Prague (my first time in Europe) and connecting through AMS, and might even extend the trip by 2 days to visit amsterdam itself.
Ahh okay. Prague is beautiful! I’m sure you’re gonna enjoy it. If you get the chance you should definitely visit Amsterdam itself as well!
Good commentary
Thank you!
how do you know the tail number/registration and info on the airplane?
Search the flight on Flightradar, then I search the registration on Planespotters.net for the information like age etc
Great video! Did you get to choose your meal, or was there just one option?
Thanks! We had the choice between this pasta and a beef meal with mashed potatoes and vegetables. The pre landing pizza twist was only one option
@@jsaviation Alright, thank you!
Leuke vlog, werk je nog steeds op Schiphol? Ik werk bij KLC
I don't know if I am just slow but is that tape on the winglet?
Yup it is
Thank you for sharing your long-haul flight. Did you get a chance to go to an airline lounge? Delta is a SkyTeam Alliance Member so, was there a lounge close by?
I didn’t go to the lounge for this flight. Delta uses KLM Crown lounge at AMS, which is lounge 52. I’ve been there multiple times during my work at the airport and it’s a great lounge, it has recently been completely renewed. The lounge is between the F and E pier, where most Delta flights leave as well so it’s quite close to the gates. When the flight departs from the D-pier then it’s about a 15 minute walk but this doesn’t happen that often
@@jsaviation That is good an airline lounge was close by you trip here. That is one of the items I look at as well. How close I would I be from a membership lounge as well. So many airports these days do look very nice from either originally being built and from their renovations as well.

@@LMays-cu2hp The lounge shouldn’t be that far away, but for some gates it can be quite far. AMS has a service called Meet and assist where they bring you to the gate etc by car, but it costs quite a lot.
I agree that a lot of airports look good!
Thank you for sharing how some lounges and boarding amenities can be. That is good about a car service to the outside jet bridge or jet stairs outside.
Great quality for one of your first videos. I like how you recorded all the stages of the flight perfectly. Keep it up!
Thank you! I’m glad you liked it
Descent using spoilers is very common on flights, whether they are widebody or narrowbody planes. So it's not exactly unique to American carriers, or widebody planes. If the plane needs to lose more altitude quickly then the spoilers will be deployed =]
Ahh that’s why, I never saw it before except those few times when flying an American carrier. Thank you for your explanation. Shows why I shouldn’t become a pilot ;)
Spoilers (speedbreaks) are also sometimes used to help reduce speed. It's normally the quickest way to kill speed in level flight. Also on some aircraft the spoilers are used in conjunction with the ailerons that are on the outer wing for turns to reduce stresses on the wings. Some widebodies the A330 included actually have a 2nd set of ailerons on the inner wing to actually help reduce these stresses.
@@AlanPlaks , the first thing I do to lower speed in flight (during descent) is actually to bring the throttles back, reduce engine power. It is not conventional to use the spoilers for the express purpose of reducing speed itself in flight, if I've still got thrust that I can reduce. That's standard procedure as obviously, descent is when you want to really kill speed and shed altitude. So throttling back is the #1 thing to do, and then using spoilers to dump even more lift and lose altitude.
And yes, spoilers can be used to help roll the plane. However, that is not its primary role. That's the ailerons' main job. You can have aileron use without spoilers, but never spoilers in use for roll control without ailerons.
As for the second set of ailerons on the A330 that you're referring to....both of them are still considered outboard ailerons. They're right next to each other at the tip end of the wing. The Boeing widebodies have an inboard aileron/flaperon in addition to the outboard one. The older Airbus models such as the A300/A310 also had an inboard aileron. But all newer Airbus planes have outboard ailerons only.
i manly use spoilers in NYC area due to traffic they want you to be at 180 below 5000
9:30 The speed brakes are being used nearly on every long haul airplane. In most cases planes need to fly a sudden speed that is requested by the controllers. Descending to NYC means you have tons of aircrafts in the air flying behind each other with a small distance on the same altitude. To stay in that chain and not to come to close to the plane in front of you it needs to deploy the speed brakes to reduce the speed. But always leave a hand on the leaver because you don't want to forget to put them down again. 😆
Ahh that’s why, thank you!
i wish you could have flown delta pre covid. they cut back hard for covid and never returned to pre covid standard.
I would’ve loved too fly them pre covid. Im very curious what that was like
Because the sky mag holds more COVID than anything else? Waaaaa ?
wait the winglet is taped thats scary wtf
Yup, wonder why it was
Reviews without commentary are basically useless unless I'm trying to fall asleep to plane sounds
Well done. Unfortunately, JFK Airport really sucks!
Thank you! I liked the airport but the downside really was that the desks for damaged luggage were very hard to find and staff at the desk wasn’t that nice
Do you still have to wear mask on board?
Not anymore, they’re optional unless masks are still required in your own country. On this flight they were still required but we could take them off all flight as no one said anything about it and barely anyone wore one
@@jsaviation Thanks!
Other U.S carriers have i was told,re-introduced their inflight magazine after covid.,that excuse "due to covid" regarding the removal of inflight magazines won't wash anymore.Its just a money saving poor excuse of Delta Airlines
You need to slow down the subtitles. There’s no time to read them.
@@bethpilcher60 Yes I realized that, sorry! It should be better in the newer videos.
Tons of words in seconds 😞
I know, I’m sorry :(
Some of the footage I made turned out to be too short while I was editing
787-9 is a much better aircraft. I really don't know why Delta doesn't like the 787
Idk either. I agree that the 787 is a really comfortable aircraft to fly
It's not so much that DL "doesn't like" the 787.....they already have a big fleet of A330's, so that's the likely reason they went with the A330neo. For flights that require longer range, they have the A350. But I agree it would be cool to see the 787 in DL colours.
They probably would order in the future for replacement of the 767. What would be interesting is this though: if they would put 2-4-2 on it!
@@sergiolaurencio7534 , that's an interesting thought...because DL was one of the very, very few airlines that kept their 777's 9-across in economy, even though all other airlines had converted to 10-across.
But if I'm being honest, I'm not sure the 787 will ever make it into the DL fleet, even with the 767s retired. DL had already said 2025 is when they will start retiring them, and yet there is no substantial airplane order other than A330s on the books. For a plane that'll be gone in 2 years, there *must* be something ordered by now....and yet there isn't. So if I had to venture a guess, the A330s will pick up the slack as more 767s exit the fleet, even though the former is a bit bigger than the latter.
VS je favoriete land maar je was er nog nooit geweest 😂
Voor alles een eerste keer😂
thnx. but that so called meal had been a joke. so primitive. No champagne.No international first class cabin. no , no choice for me
Not everyone is able to afford first class. Regarding economy this meal is everything but primitive. Be thankful for the things you get, whether that’s economy, business or first class
@@jsaviation no this is primitive no champagne. and delta has no first class cabin. The meal presentation was a nightmare. Disgusting. And I do repeat Delta is a run down company WITHOUT AN INTERNATIONAL FIRST CLASS. I prefer AIR FRANCE LA PREMIERE...with the caviar
@@jsaviation , I agree 100%. It's important to count one's blessings. Anybody who is used to first class and sneers at economy, might get humbled by God one day and find himself destitute and poor, to learn a lesson. I don't wish that on anyone, but God has a way of teaching people those kinds of lessons....
And to Claus, in economy, they do offer liquor....perhaps not champagne, but they have free beer, wine and spirits.
Exactly. That I had a coke with my meal doesn’t mean they don’t have any wine, spirits etc. The meal presentation is something you can expect when flying economy, compared to other airlines might even be quite good
@@tristanhnl no international first class cabin oh my god.....
Wow butter landing
