It makes a lot of sense that Delta has the largest 757 fleet when you consider that it was the only type common to both Delta and Northwest when they merged.

I just booked a United flight from Chicago to Honolulu for this November and on my way back on the second stop from San Francisco to Ohare, we are currently scheduled to fly on a 757-300!

Really enjoyed your vid as always. I was born and raised in Atlanta so have been flying Delta all my life. I live in D.C. now and still only fly Delta when flying home to visit family and friends. When you were describing the airport in St Louis it seemed as if you were describing some of the characteristics of DCA in Washington albeit a much smaller airport. I must admit I love the smallness of DCA, not complicated in it’s layout, relatively easy to get through security and very quick and easy to get to one’s gates.

Still find it crazy how interchangeable the 757-200, 757-300 and 767-300 are at DL. I've seen the 753 swapped out for a 763 and vice versa many times.

Definitely, then again the pilots hold the same type rating on the 757 and 767!

Delta have the best maintenance and caring hangars in the world. You might think their fleets like the 757’s look like new but doesn’t. They cleaned and put new parts and polished their aircrafts to look like new. Delta also does maintenance work for other airlines too

I love the fact that Delta doesn't want to retire their old 757s, 767s, A319s, and A320s. They just want to keep them for as long as possible. I flew Delta when I was younger, but on a CRJ900 under Delta Connection. I was invited to the cockpit after landing because the pilots in Europe didn't want to wave at me.

@@CaptravelsAviation The way I see it is it's what's on the inside that counts from a passenger perspective, and that cabin refurbishments are cheap, while new planes are expensive. Whether you're on a 1 year old A220 or a 30 year old 757, you're going to get pretty much the same product with Delta. I'm not saying never get any new planes, but there's also nothing wrong with continuing to fly planes that are over 30 years old as long as they are safe and well maintained.

I"m smiling at your use of the world 'epic'--an epic takeoff,epic wing vortices! What is not being mentioned is how you got to St Louis--would think you drove but from Champaign? I hope you had a hotel somewhere along the way if you're at STL at the ungodly hour of 230am! What was 'cooler' than the shiny wing was flying under a previous aircraft's flight path (conspiracy theorists would label it 'chemtrails') Haven't been through ATL since 2014 connecting to IAH( flight is on my channel) TUS-ATL-IAH--you begin your journey in CT, fly to ATL (ET) and on to DAL (CT)--looking forward to the 717 segment! As I call Chicago home in my heart, no doubt it amused you seeing that ad for Illinois as you went down the escalator!

1415 is listed as STL to MSY because for those flying to MSY from STL why would you list it as Houston? Why else do you think it maintains the sake flight number from Houston to MSY? This is what's commonly known as a "through flight". Some if not no passengers from the St Louis leg will be deplaning BUT they will be boarding passengers from the Houston end as it continues to New Orleans. If you look at the board a second time you'll also see the same flight number and a destination bound to Houston as well. It's double listed to 2 different destinations to not confuse the passengers flying to Houston or those continuing on to New Orleans.

For the summer season there was a lot of demand so Delta scheduled the 757 on various daily flights between STL-ATL and many other domestic markets.

Fantastic flight report! Wish I could fly the 757 but it's very rare to find a flight just in Europe (I believe Jet2 only flies it here) Also what equipment do you usually use to film flight reports?
