Great report again Paul... and I note you took the bus between terminals 2 & 3. I was at LAX recently and with time on my hand, walked from the Tom Bradley International Terminal to T2 and back, walking under the runways in tunnels. For the amount of food I consumed in the AA Flagship Lounge... the walk was more out of guilt than anything else but it was a pleasant walk with great views of aircraft on the stands.

The Boeing 717 / Mc Donnell Douglas MD-80 / Douglas DC-9 is an interesting aircraft. Entering service in 1965, with the last one being produced in 2006. Very few aircraft have survived two mergers and production for over 40 years. One of my favorite airlines, Midwest Airlines, operated the Boeing 717, in an all first class configuration. Four across leather seats, food service on China and fresh baked-on-board chocolate chip cookies were distinctive features of their service.

Delta's 717s used to be AirTran's, Southwest inherited them when they acquired AirTran and then leased them out to Delta for use. They are very modernized mad dogs and the Rolls Royce engines are incredibly efficient and quiet for the type of aircraft they are on.

Love it - "United sucked, again, not even gonna bother." My one experience of SFO came about because United screwed up - I should never have been there. Ended up sort-of-sleeping airside, then getting thrown out by the police at 4am because of a security breach. Sniffer dogs, bomb squad, the works. What happened, apparently, was that a bunch of new security goons were too stupid even for TSA and didn't make the cut, and some genius decided that they shouldn't hand in their badge and uniform right away but could work their last shift. These muppets got it into their little brains to come in an hour early, open up the checkpoint, and let everyone through unscreened... just for the hell of it. So that was nice. I miss the 717s that Blue1 used to have. Wonderful aircraft (and airline - RIP).

Great review! I've really come to like Delta in the past few years, and especially flying on MD-88s and 717s. The unique 2-3 coach config is great - I love being on the "narrow" side of the plane if I'm not up front! If you are a Skyteam/Delta elite things get even better, as you usually have great chances of getting bumped to C+, which all have power plugs, free booze, and comfy headrests to boot over normal economy.

Yoga in San Francisco, OF COURSE !!! I'm not surprised at that. Great shots from the air on take-off from SFO !! Yeah, I sort of pricked up my ears when you said 60 miles from L A to San D. Sort of strange to take TWO flights from SFO to SAN...there are many non-stop flights between those two cities daily but maybe not on Delta. Not sure why you chose to break it into two flights and just change planes in L A. AND YES! Having lived in San D for 3 years, I ALWAYS loved that landing approach..seeing all the city downtown to the left, seeing the Coronado Bridge, and a somewhat short landing runway just beyond Interstate route 5. It has got to be one of the most dramatic landings in a major city anywhere in the world. And then there's the mild weather and the many miles of beaches, San Diego wins in so many ways as a place to fly into ! Good video.

I don't care much for Terminal 3, but it is the last of the original jet age design layout that can still be seen at LAX. It will probably be updated sometime in the future, but it shows the iconic roundish gate layout that all of the original terminals once exhibited. I flew out of the terminal many times over the last 40 years or so mainly with TWA and Alaska. Back in the day you had to go down under the tarmac and back up to get to the gates. It needs renovating but still a bit sad to see it go.

BA has had direct flights from London Heathrow to Austin Bergstrom for a couple of years. Next year, according to a press release from Lufthansa, they will begin flights from Frankfurt or Munich to Austin Bergstrom. Perhaps you could be on the inaugural flight. If not, happy safe flying all over the planet, Paul. I just subscribed so now I won't have to hunt for your reports.

Hit Gold Medallion in 2014, but I'll be honest in saying I wish I could be flying as much as I used to. Delta has me as a lifelong customer, but I'll be flying British Airways whenever I head towards Europe unless Delta is just a tad bit cheaper.

I don't understand aisle passengers who get priority boarding though. I suppose it's just for overhead space.

I really enjoy Delta but HATE their boarding group numbering system, it does nothing but clog up the boarding area in the terminal. First is disabled and military, then premium, then Sky, then 1, then 2-5. So everyone in group 1 and 2 gets right up front because they think they’ll be first and second on the plane when really they have 1/4 of the plane to board in front of them. So if you’re in first you have to weave through everyone to get on the plane and if you’re group 1 you’re wondering why there are non numeric boarding groups.

Terminal 4 is always crowded especially when your going international with american (I work for american in texas so it's always when I'm going to japan haneda, it's the only route from the states with american that goes to haneda). The last time I was there the terminal had downgraded it's restrooms from 2 to 1 set of restrooms. Had to wait 20 minutes to get into the men's restroom. The women's restroom was quick and they all gave us crazy looks as we just stood waiting. Not fun man. I'll go through it more cause of the the one route. Maybe the airport will grow on me as I see more but so far not impressed.

Delta is my favorite airline. They are always consistent with the products and the product is great. Never have issues with the crew and always on time to location. Also, they fly into smaller airports which is helpful.

Would Delta's transatlantic or transcontinental Business Class be worth a video? The WSJ has just rated Delta as the US's best airline, hence the question.

The 717 is an aircraft that I am yet to try which needs to change. Really enjoyed that you left the takeoff alone on this video. Pure avgeek moment.

Another great video, Paul. FYI, Yanks who are AmEx Platinum card holders do have access to the Delta SkyLounges regardless of travel class so long as it is with Delta. (The AmEx also comes with Priority Pass Elite so you can access any of those lounges in SFO and LAX.) I don't know if the same benefit applies to card holders outside the US as, well, I am in the US.

Yes it does apply to other Amex Platinum cardholders. Nice benefit!

Do you mount a gopro on your shoulder for boarding? How does the crew and other pax react?

It’s mounted to a backpack strap - and I’ve always had positive reactions! If I see someone has noticed it I always make a point of saying hello and explaining what I do. Never been asked to stop filming.

Have just found your channel about week or so ago. Absolutely love your reports. Im not a good flyer lol. I do fly or I wouldn’t go anywhere. But im definitely not keen. However your reports are very good. I usually only fly no longer than 4 hours max lol. I’d love to go to New York and couple of other futher places, but I’m not brave enough lol. Flew as a child no problem but some reason?? When got to about 20 I started to have anxiety issues on take off and landing. Not too bad once cruising just on take off and landing?? Love your reports Paul. Keep them coming and thank you xx

Have enjoyed your channel for some time now. Not a fan of flying to be sure, but you have produced some interesting videos centered on flight. Craving your rail trip reports again,,, whether US , the continent, or the UK. Cheers mate.

Wow! A banana and crappy Oreos in First Class. You get so much better in business class on short flights from Canberra to Melbourne (about an hour). Not sure I'd waste my money.

Protip: When flying to San Diego, left window seats are preferred if you want that great view of downtown San Diego where the buildings are higher than the aircraft.

Yoga Room. San Francisco Airport. Trust me that's the most UNRANDOM thing to find in SFO, or LAX for that matter. Ironically I'd be more surprised finding a chapel in either of those airports.

I love Delta too. The 717 is a fun experience. It's so hard to believe they actually manufactured those Birds right here in California. Back in the day when you could actually build things in this State. Was hoping you would have made a few remarks about my hometown airport (SAN). I love the place.
