my channel is growing and so is the number of comments I receive. I do apologise as I won’t be able to reply to all comments from now on :/ But I still read each and every one of them and will endeavour to reply to all, thanks✈️
The Boeing 717 is basically the same aeroplane that in the mid nineteen sixties began life as the Douglas DC9-30 (&10). Then it morphed into the McDonnell Douglas 87 series, before Boeing acquired MDC and then it became the Boeing 717. And, sixty plus years on, it still looks and feels the same as those DC9s I knew
Thank you for sharing the song of the engines. When I fly on a 717 or a Fokker I like to be well forward of the engines and then I hardly hear anything.
Good to see you have your priorities right... Pringles !!!🤣 Downside of a 717 is the noise from the engines so close to the cabin, but upside is a really cool view of those same engines !
Nice review, Jayden. I know that you will have a great time in Singapore. Hopefully, you will have time to film some of your adventures while you are there. Have a safe flight. 👍🤗❤🛫🙏🌎
I did uber driving for a bit from Brisbane airport, I got a booking that took me to that remote hangar on the opposite side of the airport. They had jumbo in the hangar getting worked on. Thd guy invited me in for an impromptu tour as we hot talking on the ride over and I guess he could see im an av geek.. I didn't take him up on the offer for a tour, to be honest I don't think he was serious.. it was still pretty cool to see it up close tho.
Aloha! I was surprised to see B717s in Australia because there are so few any where. Here, Hawaiian Airlines flies all 717s interisland. I've never seen a 717 loo before. Interisland flights are only about 20 - 30 minutes, so no time. I was amazed by your seat. The trays on HAL's 717s are barely wide enough for a small coffee or can of beer.
QANTAS bought several for low volume regional routes. Such as Sydney to Canberra. They even added a small Business class section. They own 2O of the type. They are all named after Australian national parks.
Nice trip report mate! One tip, since you have lots of friends, what you can do is ask them to reply to the comments for you. So for each comment they reply to, you give them a peanut 😂
Hi Rachel! The crew actually did say through the PA that we could use the entertainment app or something but the Wifi was never on 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe they forgot it or something?
@@JaydenWong oh that’s so annoying! I discovered yesterday that we do have a few aircraft that have it switched off still. Hopefully soon it’ll be up and running!
This plane and other flights from Sydney Gold Coast and Brisbane to Tasmania all fly over the far south coast which is where I live I hear them fly overhead sometimes.
Ahhh that roary engine....reminds me of my Hawaiian B717 journey. It roared so loud back then. MDs and 717s are becoming a bit rare nowadays, don't you think so? So getting the chances of riding such planes would be once or twice in a lifetime nowadays. Nice video as always, Jayden!
If you thought it was noisy where you sat, you should try the back row! Horrible. I pity the hosties who spend quite a bit of time in the galley even further back.
It reminds me of flying the MD-80S. Interesting routing. But I would do something similar if given the choice, or if I fly Southwest here in the States, lol. Nice review.
Great video, Jayden! The sound of the engines spooling up is great! However, I remember from flying on the DC-9s here in the US, it got pretty noisy in the back. How was it on your flight? I love that you flew from Brisbane to Adelaide via Hobart. That's something I would do for more flight experiences! For me, the trip is as fun as the destination. I hope your packing went well and that you are enjoying your time in Singapore. Safe travels!
totally haha! After this flight, I officially stepped foot on all Aussie states and territories 🤣 However, I can’t say I visited Tasmania🤪🤪 Thanks Mike!
Remember the 717 is the last in a famous aeroplane family. It’s the final iteration of Douglas DC 9 line. Starting in 1966 the DC 9 was stretched to become the MD 80 in 1977. Finally Boeing bought MacAir and morphed the series into the Boeing 717. It was still using the wings and empennage of the DC 9. The line ceased in 2005. One of the longest lived aircraft designs.
Safe travels to Singapore Jayden. Despite all the additional formalities it must be exciting to be flying internationally again. Will you be spending time in Hong Kong before you next return to Australia?
Great trip report as always Jayden! I am so excited for you! I hope you enjoy your Singapore trip! I always live the 717. Personally prefer it to the 737 but I do hope that at entertainment if they will have 717s long term. How long are you staying in Singapore for?
Really awesome to hear the engine sounds at the back, I've flown on the QantasLink 717s three times and all in business. Even though the engines are at the back I thought the air noise was really loud in front!
yes of course, If you think I didn’t wear it in the video it was either the angle or I wasn’t driving (the scene at Woolies and Car was parked and engine off)
I would really appreciate an in depth review of your Singapore Holiday Coming Up. Stuck in Queensland, it may be quite some time before I can travel anywhere overseas myself. The NEW Covid strain is quite concerning. Singapore is quite strict on the tests required. Please take a little longer in your video to fully explain your experience & the paper work required. Thank you in advance Jayden.
you’re right about the tests. I was really frustrated about it, but now everything’s been booked and planned. Off to Singapore tmrw and I will do everything you’ve asked :)
What a miserable offering food wise in the lounge. I love the 717. Very nice aeroplane. QANTAS are super over zealous about the facial decorations. Feels like a religion.

I want to be a qantas pilot, because it’s good. And I get a free trip, I know heeps about planes. Also free trips.

Then it morphed into the McDonnell Douglas 87 series, before Boeing acquired MDC and then it became the Boeing 717. And, sixty plus years on, it still looks and feels the same as those DC9s I knew
it sure does! Probably the most retro plane I’ve taken in a long while. Thanks for watching!
Awesome I love the tour of the home and the cooking! Safe travels!
The sound of the engines spooling is acutely so cool it gives me the chills
hahaha same😂
i know, i live in coffs harbour, and the 717 200ers sound so nice coming in
You are such humble sweet guy 😄
thanks :))
safe flight friend...happy friday morning and goodluck
thanks mate! enjoy your weekend :)
5:14 PatRONS yes indeed
9:08 yet again
Enjoyed the flight and commentary, thanks for taking me along.
my pleasure :) thanks for watching!
Thank you for this TH-cam. Fly safe. And travel safe.
thanks Lawrence!!
I have flown the 717 before. Melbourne to Canberra.
amazing! Hopefully they’re here to stay for another decade!
I’m flying on the 717 Qantas in a week Melbourne- Canberra
amazing! 717 is cool😍
Oh I have been looking forward to this. Have to go to Hobart (not by choice) In January. Thanks again for your videos.
Hahaha hopefully it’ll still a good trip to Hobart! Thanks Kath!

Great video, Jayden! Glad you had a good experience with us. It was our pleasure to have you on board 😊
Was it you the cabin crew on that flight ?
thanks for the awesome flight☺️☺️
Thanks Mate 👍
Nice review, Jayden. I know that you will have a great time in Singapore. Hopefully, you will have time to film some of your adventures while you are there. Have a safe flight. 👍🤗❤🛫🙏🌎
I totally will film everything hehe! thanks John!
enjoy your flight with qantas🖒👍🙏
thanks Oliver!!
Thank you for the video. Have a fabulous week!
Hopefully soon I will be back at Sydney Airport
I love these unschedule detours. Great report.!
haha yeah!! thanks :)
Flying same route to Hobart today and should be on a 717 for it, so keen!
Thanks for Video... I Enjoyed... Sandwich looks Tasty !!!
That's when you flew over me it's great to see you back in Sydney

Jayden - great to see (and hear) the 717 and btw, your cat is gorgeous! All the best for your trip to Singapore.

Fabulous trip report as usual Mr Wong👍🏻 Are you moving to Singapore permanently?
Where did u have your best Chai Latte?
Hey 717 FA here! Our in flight entertainment is now back so hopefully next time you travel it’ll be on board for you!
Hi Rachel! The crew actually did say through the PA that we could use the entertainment app or something but the Wifi was never on 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe they forgot it or something?
@@JaydenWong Did you have the Qantas Entertainment app? Our wifi only works on the app, not for social media or browsing etc.
Yeah I did! The wifi wasn’t switched on though so I couldn’t connect
@@JaydenWong oh that’s so annoying! I discovered yesterday that we do have a few aircraft that have it switched off still. Hopefully soon it’ll be up and running!
I want to see a day trip your christmas🥰🥳😍
Ohhh my! What a sound, you definitely weren't alone with that eargasm! Huge thumbs up as usual mate!
thanks so much mate!! :)
@@JaydenWong No problem bud!
Amazing video as always jayden, I look forward to all of your video actually!🤩☘
thanks so much mate!!
Cool!
Good luck with the moving and enjoy your flight!
thanks Eric :))
I've flown the B717 a couple of times, but never in the back. I'll need to try that sometime. :)
love the video jayden. keep well
This plane and other flights from Sydney Gold Coast and Brisbane to Tasmania all fly over the far south coast which is where I live I hear them fly overhead sometimes.
717 is a good small jet.
totally!
Awesome videos. Can't wait for your review on the A220 coming soon to airports near you.
17:46 LMAO
That's literally me all the time
Ahhh that roary engine....reminds me of my Hawaiian B717 journey. It roared so loud back then.
MDs and 717s are becoming a bit rare nowadays, don't you think so? So getting the chances of riding such planes would be once or twice in a lifetime nowadays.
Nice video as always, Jayden!
Yeah only a handful of airlines still operate them. thanks boria!
Oh my gosh, no wonder you said you had an eargasm! That engine noise was so loud!!❤️👍✈️
Haha yeah!! A totally different experience!!
If you thought it was noisy where you sat, you should try the back row! Horrible. I pity the hosties who spend quite a bit of time in the galley even further back.

Hawaiian still got them haha! thanks Jeff!
Jayden another great vlog !
Of course yes follow the flight attendants lol 😂
FINALLY!!! I'm doing this exact flight in january next year!!! Thanks :DDD
amazing!!
The steward is hot! Kinda looks like George:)

Nice work Jayden. I really like the 717 … it’s a pity they’re not on any regular routes out of Adelaide anymore. 😢
ikr!! I miss QF1555 SYD-ADL :/
Another great video, but why are you whispering in the lavatory ?
i didn’t want anyone in the galley thinking I’m crazy saying COAT HOOK🤣
Looking forward to getting back to flying on Qantas in December. Been sooooo long.
such a nice video about Boeing 717-200, do you know how many cabin crew works on this qantas boeing 717-200? thanks
It was 2 or 3. Thanks for watching!
Those variations in sound, such a great aircraft, however sat so close, was it super noisy all flight?
Safe travels to Singapore Jayden. Despite all the additional formalities it must be exciting to be flying internationally again. Will you be spending time in Hong Kong before you next return to Australia?
Amazing!
thanks!
Have you ever been to Switzerland?
just for transit :) Boston/Zurich/Barcelona
Love this one..
thanks Antonio!!
係新加坡食多啲牛肉干同海南雞飯😋
之後會返香港定澳洲？
😂😂😂 泰國
Did a flight on this from Bris to Cairns was a great flight. 717 is a fun plane.
totally! thanks Peter!
Eargasm is the right word: a totally wonderful sound experience! Sounds like changes are afoot for you. Good luck with whatever is coming next
Great trip report as always Jayden! I am so excited for you! I hope you enjoy your Singapore trip! I always live the 717. Personally prefer it to the 737 but I do hope that at entertainment if they will have 717s long term. How long are you staying in Singapore for?
Yeah the plane should’ve got the entertainment, the crew may have forgotten to switch on or something haha
Singapore for a week :)
nice
Q. Is the cabin noise louder on a 717 with the engines mounted on the back instead of under the wings?
Yeah definitely :) but it sounded good and i got a noise cancelling headphone so it was ok
Great video Jayden! I love the 717’s especially the engine sounds. They just scream on takeoff.
very nice👍🖒
Love that engine view. It’s been 21 years since I’ve flown on the 717.
#colesatmidnightsquad
21😵💫😵💫😵💫!!! that’s me age!!
@@JaydenWong haha! Yep when those QF 717’s had Impulse Airlines written in them…
Really awesome to hear the engine sounds at the back, I've flown on the QantasLink 717s three times and all in business. Even though the engines are at the back I thought the air noise was really loud in front!
oh interesting! I’ve always thought it’d be very quiet upfront! Maybe the fact that it’s above the cabin has an effect? 🤣
That's why u flew via Hobart
love the tittle lol
WOW!! I didn't know they still flew those old planes but really nice trip review :D
Do you know it is illegal to drive in Australia without a seatbelt on?
yes of course, If you think I didn’t wear it in the video it was either the angle or I wasn’t driving (the scene at Woolies and Car was parked and engine off)
are you taking your cat with you?
Such a small plane for a long flight
18:15 AWwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
I’m confused does he live in Adelaide or Hobart? Or is he moving to Adelaide? 🤔🤣
I live in Adelaide hahaha.
@@JaydenWong HMMM WHAT SUBURB?
I so dislike packing up, moving flats…you serious taking all those mugs to Singapore 😅 why don’t u store it till you get back to Aus
I moved them to my friend’s home hahaha. But the tea, wine, in my checked in baggage😂😂

There’s not pretty much time remaining to enjoy B717 as Qantas is working on purchasing new aircrafts to take the place of them.
hopefully the A220!
See Patrion. Haha
The fabric QF uses on their economy seats looks low quality. Leather would be better...
yeah the seats on this plane were a bit worn off
Bruh there are no screans
What a miserable offering food wise in the lounge. I love the 717. Very nice aeroplane. QANTAS are super over zealous about the facial decorations. Feels like a religion.
yeah Brisbane (and Sydney) has always been quite average unfortunately. Thanks for watching Daniel!!
@@JaydenWong No worries. I like your style.
Yooo
#earrape
I’d help you man spread and I’d definitely help with your box wifey xx
your obsession about coat-hooooook is a bit concerning... 哈哈
