The sound of those engines spooling up brings tears to my eyes.

[@AussieFlyer]

its quite wonderful eh

[@aalh004]

Love the 747. You always feel this plane is in control on takeoff.

[@nathanfitzgearl650]

I’m an American Lordd of the Rings geek who’s been to NZ twice. I’m very familiar with these 12 hour 747 flights from the US to Middle Earth.

[@pmo1love]

So that's what it's like up front, one day I hope to be in Business Class with my feet up too lol. Awesome video Dazz.

[@adwikblockmcnoteblocks6697]

I took the Air NZ 747 before it went... Memories...

[@AussieFlyer]

+AdwikblockMCnoteblocks I attempted to fly the last scheduled ANZ 747 flight out of Australia which was supposed to be Sydney-Auckland, but they swapped it with a 787-9 at the last minute!

[@adwikblockmcnoteblocks6697]

How did they manage to fit in the passengers of a 747 to 787?? Must have been an empty flight!

[@dreamliner_787]

This is great, I can only feel envious while watching this😀

[@AussieFlyer]

Air NZ business class is really nice!

[@fingustis]

Awesome video. Thanks a lot

[@anillataprasad5987]

Nice video thxs 😍🤩🙏

[@4september1947]

love AZ service is great

[@Ahuntsicspotter]

The flying time was 11:30 minutes.

[@robharris5467]

The first flight I took from AKL to the US was on Canadian Pacific. That dates me!

[@rollrboy1980]

The main reason you are not supposed to use a camera during take-off or landing is that, in the event of an emergency, it could become a projectile, or could distract you, impeding your own or other peoples means of escape. You can argue the logic/validity of this either way, but the simple fact is that you must comply with the instructions of the crew, and regulations of the carrier. Air NZ requires you must have your camera turned off and stowed during take-off or landing.

[@rustydevilll]

yes and in the front of the nose

[@ncfo20]

Great vid, so how much did the flight cost?

[@subsrmygame]

At akl it takes quite alot to time to taxi to the run way

[@AussieFlyer]

@sangar60 is it?

[@joshuav9005]

I realise I’m 8 years late but when did air nz replace their Auckland to la route with the 777? I went on it years ago and I’m not sure which plane I was on because I was too young to care about aviation. Thanks.

@Metrotrainsmelbourne Actually, the A380 is way better tbh. It is very comfortable and won't even get turburlence during the flight. Even though it looks fat, it's actually better to have it that way. Though the only bad thing is during check-in and waiting for your baggage to come out.

[@4september1947]

i like AZ - service is great

[@phuaweijie7523]

HELLO AUSSIE FLYER PLEASE BOOKING AIR NEW ZEALAND BOEING 747-400 FLIGHT TICKET FOR MY FAMILY GO TO AUCKLAND

[@jamieclumpas8545]

Air NZ don't do the 747 anymore

[@squadlyfer111]

How much you pay for that seat>?

[@subsrmygame]

how come you got film when it was a never when taking off

[@ninninin656]

It's not true that you don't get turbulence on the A380 - we had massive turbulences during a Singapore-Frankfurt flight with Singapore Airlines. Also, the seats in the A380 are sooooooooo uncomfortable!!! It's just more people and thus more crowded, that's all there is to say to the A380. Now, if you were rich enough to fly business or first, that's a whole different story of course!!!

[@AussieFlyer]

@aalh004 i agree :)

[@AussieFlyer]

@plummer89 i think you will enjoy it very much

[@AussieFlyer]

@TheRazmovskii Have a look around youtube and you will find even the pilots dont believe that, since there is THOUSANDS UPON THOUSANDS of videos filmed directly from the cockpit of takeoffs and landings and everything inbetween. On some airlines there is no restriction on using cameras during takeoff and landing, why is that then?

[@sp769]

Have you seen the YT vid where the Chinese dude is being dragged down the aisle, punched over and thrown off the plane. united AL, USA I think, overbooked flight and they needed a volunteer to get off to allow staff to get to another plane. So rightly or wrongly it may be best to comply with cabin crew- for your own safety. It appears that they bite!

[@emilycrowe4377]

way to much of showing the screen or the window view, I would personally recommend that you show more of the seat and its features, or the food service instead! :)

[@AussieFlyer]

This video is ages old, I do have much more interior views in my more recent videos

[@henryapril1999]

@allhwites088 well no turburlence, but wing damage during flight!! Only 747 for me

[@squadlyfer111]

@TheRazmovskii In the history of avation no aircraft has ever crashed because a passenger has a video camera on during takeoff and landing hope you aint a crew member of my next air new zealand flight

[@subsrmygame]

nice business class ah? :)

[@zebraxman]

is this upper deck or lower deck???

[@shanedigby]

It's lower deck. Radome where nose is. Pilots pretty much sitting above them.

[@oscar39]

My parents flew on the final Air New Zealand 747

[@AussieFlyer]

I actually had booked on the final scheduled flight but they swapped it last minute to a 787-9 which was brand new at the time

[@scrumpyjed]

Bye 747

[@AussieFlyer]

Good memories

[@rollrboy1980]

HOWEVER, if you get the permission of the crew to video during take-off or landing, it's fine. I always ask, usually they say yes, occasionally no...

[@ZerbraMelon]

classic Auckland always overcast hmm used to live there

[@AussieFlyer]

Harrison Hannah it does seem to be a bit of a pattern

[@LoganLavery]

I lived there for 20 years and it's often very sunny!

[@santaclawz313]

lol my dad gets upgraded to business class three times a year. :P

[@AussieFlyer]

@zebraxman lower deck, in the nose

[@TheRazmovskii]

shouldnt you be watching the safety video and not outside the window! also now electronic devices are to be turned on during take off and landing or unless advised by a crew member... i am part of the air new zealand cabin crew and i definetly wasn't on that flight because i make sure EVERYONE has their electronic devices OFF during take off and landing because it is a VERY DANGEROUS safety hazard!

[@thumbun]

That is a fallacy. It is poses no threat to the aircraft.

[@rustydevilll]

the guy who had a guy at you is obviously full of crap he's australian LOL

[@4september1947]

i agree noooooooooooooooooooooooonooooooooooooooooooooooo

[@DanTheCaptain]

HI! Welcome to the Internet!

[@wogga8]

@TheRazmovskii I think your undies are too tight :-)) Your not thinking straight. Heaps of people film take off and landing and everything in between. Its of no risk to the aircraft at all.

[@rustydevilll]

the A380 is too fat and ugly. the 747-800 is far better and keeps the classic style of the 747-400! who wants to wait for ages for the luggage and fly with 500 people. not me!

[@dazzini82]

Emirates are more comfy! Seats a brilliant in economy! Other airlines like Lufthansa and Air France a cheapskates and have shit thin seats on their 380s...dunno bout Singapore Airlines!
