Delta Air Lines’ Longest Flight (WORLD’S LONGEST FLIGHTS)

Watch this video to see what it’s like to travel on Delta Airlines’ Longest Flight! It’s another in our series about the world’s LONGEST FLIGHTS!
This is Delta Air Lines’ flagship route from Atlanta to Johannesburg. We made the trip from Atlanta’s Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport to Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport onboard Delta Air Lines Flight Number 200.
This video will showcase what it’s like to travel onboard one of the longest flight on planet earth! We’ll highlight everything you’ll experience in Delta One Business Class for 15 hours.
We'll even share some of our top tips for long flights so your next long flight is a bit easier!
You’ll see two of Delta’s best Sky Clubs in, the industry-leading Delta One Business Class Suite, the notable Delta Air Lines Business Class food, the Inflight Entertainment, and even get a sense for Delta’s incredible onboard hospitality.
This Delta Air Lines A350 flight was scheduled to take about 15.5 hours, but thanks to some good work up front in the cockpit, we were onboard for only 15 hours!

8:00 I agree. Watching lightning from within or above a storm is an awe-inspiring sight.

[@Originalman144]

Agreed. I flew over a huge storm in Central Florida the other night and it was incredible. Above the clouds watching 20-30 lightning flashes. Amazing!

[@bouncegod_4197]

I also agree. Such a lively experience especially noting how safe you are in the plane

[@AndrewSephiTV]

If I may suggest, I would love to see the 8 hours flight from Brasilia (BSB) to Orlando (MCO) on the Gol Linhas Aereas Max 8, not only is it one of the longest Max 8 routes is also the longest route of this type from Gol and all of the Americas. No English-speaking content creator has covered this flight yet! Even though I speak Portuguese and saw it through Portuguese speakers, I would like to see some internationals take on this ground-breaking flight for Gol and for all of Brazil.

Can we get a video of just Atlanta escalator reviews? I would watch that.

[@peterjaro6804]

That would be SO COOL and I am sure a world first... in the world of KZbin Airline video's. I don'k know why, but there is 3 step (yes really!) pre-escalator to a 'normal' escalator at Gatwick (London). I assume it was not planned that way to start with, but at some point someone must have pointed out ' Hey... this is not level with the escalstor... let's make a small one to get up to level '

We just took this exact flight to Johannesburg and there was a young woman that was sitting with us in the window seat and she didn't get up once in the entire 15.5 hours, we were quite shocked and ask her a couple of times if she wants us to let her out and she said no, thank you 😲

[@barryfletcher7136]

Once-upon-a-time (not all that long ago) flying r/t between Atlanta and Dubai was 80000 miles in Business/First and 40000 miles in Economy. It was a non-stop flight of about 15 hours going eastbound and sometimes 16 hours westbound if the jet stream was being active. Delta used a 777 on the route. The trip was long enough to be able to eat dinner & breakfast, watch a movie, and get a solid night's sleep..... IF riding up front. The trip in Economy was like spending 15 hours in an electric chair without the electricity.

[@eliancog232]

Hey jeb ! I'm french and an aviation enthousiast like you and I love your videos !!! I think you should try the longest domestic flight between Paris and Papeete (in French Polynesia which is a french oversea territory) even though it includes a stopover in LAX or in SFO (depending on which airline you choose to fly on (Air France, French Bee, or Air Tahiti Nui) it sounds like an incredible adventure and it leads you to one of the most beautiful places on earth !

[@chunkyboyjames]

It’s not a domestic flight because of the stopover. When the stopover was in Guadeloupe then it was. Now the longest domestic flight is Paris to Reunion.

[@eliancog232]

@@chunkyboyjames really ? I thought that because it was a refuelling stop it doesn't counted but thanks for the advice !

Speaking of segways, a couple years ago my parents went through the hell of the Atlanta shutdown. They had to walk many of the escalators completely unpowered, in the dark, and with all their luggage. Made me really respect the Plane Trains and Escalators a lot more! P.S. loved the video!

[@chunkyboyjames]

I’d love to see two specific longest flights: 1) the world’s longest domestic flight from Paris to Reunion (CDG-RUN) 2) the world’s longest direct flight (point to point with refuelling stops allowed), which I believe is either BA15 from LHR-SYD via SIN or QF9 from LHR-MEL via PER.

[@jchoe95]

Looking at Wikipedia, it looks like SQ52 is the world's longest direct flight from Singapore to Houston via Manchester.

[@chunkyboyjames]

@@jchoe95 by actual flight distance perhaps, but flights are measured by Great Circle distance so BA15/16 ends up being longest.

[@alexandermartinristl4634]

I complimented you on your really great videos once before. I love them. This Delta video was really great, despite the fact that I never have to go to South Africa and as a “Floridaboy” in the Miami area I use American primarily out of MIA. Out of all the folks who do airline review videos on KZbin I must say that you really have the best concept. Your voice is very easy to listening to (unlike a certain australian guy on youtube), you put your product review into the center - not yourself (unlike two super-annoying german guys who are primarily focused on mounting as many cameras to film themselves - they are really a highly annoying couple). And then I absolutely LOVE your final review with your rating system at the end, this gives your videos the final touch of professionalism and it makes sense, particularly for business class travelers like myself. What I really appreciate a lot is the fact that you analyze all categories. You go over lounges and access, the seat/class product, you address catering (super important) and you are one of the only ones here who pays compliments to the staff, or in the case of aviation the crew of course when they do a great job and are friendly. Hardly anyone does that, unless they have the need to “complain” - but good good crew service for instance is never mentioned by anyone, only by you. Finally I think that Austrian Airlines would be a great example too: Yes the business class product by now is short of ten years old, but still “okay”. However I rather fly to NY to take Austrian to Europe (instead of taking LH out of Miami) because their catring is exceptionally good, their crews are nothing short of amazing. Never had a bad business class experience on OS, despite the fact that there are airlines with far superior business class products than OS, but as you say, all is a combination of the overall experience and soon in a year there will be a bunch of almost new 787-900 joining the aging OS fleet and that will come with a more modern and adequate business class product. Love your videos, you really provide comprehensive reviews instead of starring in your own movies like everyone else! Greetings from South Florida. (PS: I once criticized a flight review by the two german “guys” because they were so unbelievably annoying putting only themselves into the center of attention, plus they must have really disturbed every passenger on that plane’s business class, they also had an LH 748 First Class review once, if I would have been a passenger on that flight close to them I would have demanded that get thrown out before the plane even takes off) and then they publicly attacked me here on KZbin saying that I must be jealous! And I just replied: “No no darlings, I don’t need to do videos to travel around the world, I am able to pay for my business or first class fares) hence I view your videos all the time. Because they are actually really helpful. Take Care and safe travels.

@@deborahsobel3314 I'm a flight attendant, and I used to be afraid to fly. But having done it hundreds of times now, I've seen that the turbulence almost always abates at higher levels. The biggest risk is if your seat belt is not fastened and you hit the ceiling, so keep that on at all times.

We just got married in Hawaii and booked Delta One first class from PBI-ATL-HNL. In the A310 out of PBI we had the CEO of Delta (Ed Bastian) on board in the seat in front of us. We talked and had pictures with him . The A350 from ATL to HNL was amazing . The service was awesome. When we got back, we went to the SkyClub and the hostess greeted us with Champagne and cheesecake as they knew we were newlyweds! So happy we chose Delta. Oh and The Four Seasons Oahu ocean suites were worth every penny. I even allow my new bride a Wagyu Steak dinner $$$$$$. Thanks Jeb

Jeb - I'm waiting to see a video that says, "I finally did it... I'm starting my training for my private pilot license!" :-) I've watched many of your videos and I have to say... flying the plane is way more fun than sitting in the back. If you think you were passionate about aviation before... You'll soar to new heights if you can obtain that PPL (figuratively and very much literally). Also, my wife and I are headed to Bogota, Colombia on a DAL 757 in their first class in October... I'll let you know how that goes since I noticed you haven't made it to Colombia yet! Bogota has some crazy arrival procedures given its elevation in the mountains for landing.
