EXTREME! Airbus A340 takeoff from ice runway in Antarctica (full flight video)

[@FTTravelstyle]

I am always shocked at how people have to put their bare feet up in planes. It’s absolutely disgusting and they have no respect for anyone else.

They are family they’ve lived together for months smelling fart 💨 poop 💩 and more it’s life man we were Born naked make kids naked walk bare foot people clean other peoples feet 🦶 it’s not a big deal if it’s not smelling bad 😂😂😂😂

[@nielsd.liltorp2402]

Yes no matter the circumstances it is really bad manners. Would they like if someone did that in their house? What about the dining area?

[@1100BFK]

@@nielsd.liltorp2402 ok well what happens at them nudist places where People go with their kids naked and sit but naked on chairs in the dining room ??? People live like that and complain over feet but sit it naked on chairs at nudist camps

[@turbofanlover]

As a huge aviation fan, my fav part of this trip was seeing that A340 in such a remote and icy world. You just don't see that every day. I would have loved to have watched the takeoff and landing from the ground. One of the awesome things about modern aviation is that humans can (if they have the money, of course) travel from Antarctica to the Maldives (essentially, two completely different worlds) in a matter of hours. Amazing.

[@theresarossouw1637]

My thoughts exactly...would have loved to see the take-off from the outside. Loved this though...

[@Kev376]

Seriously can't believe they brought out an A340 for like 12 people lol. If they were doing a private flight like that they should be using something like a G650 or if they really wanted more than 2 engines maybe a Falcon 7x.

[@Republic3D]

@@Kev376Seems like a lot more than 12 people with all the scientists and staff. I'd feel safer in an A340-300 than in a Gulfstream or Falcon.

[@bentechristina]

The view when taxiing 😻😻😻 What a beautiful area ❤ One in a million.

[@ericbaptiste1193]

Thanks for this series on Antarctica, it’s truly a magical place. I was always researching going there via Argentina, but didn’t know there are flights from SA. I only got two continents left to visit; Africa and Antarctica, so it’s good to know I can do both on the same trip.

[@tripityourself]

Antarctica from SA won't be the same budget as from Ushuaia, Argentina ;)

[@supercoolmunkee]

Are you visiting all countries except for North Korea?

This is human evolution on earth at its peak. I love this video.

[@6falconsue]

I'm quite overcome by this whole experience, as were you Dr LTE! It was a particular treat to have Andrew as our special guest guide--he took the time to read our comments and responded to many of them. I had to laugh a bit at you showing us the accoutrements on a plane formerly owned by Emirates--of course you already knew how all the features worked in your seating area. A thousand thank-yous for sharing the gift of travel to places near and far.

Antarctica is the real heaven on Earth. Indisputably & undoubtedly. 😊

[@spacekat8249]

I wasn't there but I felt the sadness of leaving such an incredible place... The entire serie of your videos about your trip to Antartica is priceless. As I said on comments under the first one, it is a huge priviledge to go there, one in a lifetime. Thank you for sharing, much love from France. 😊

[@andrewliu3181]

I'm actually really suprised that they would fly an A340, considering how heavy and underpowered that plane is! Very cool experience!

[@canadajointops]

I really love the look of the plane, I read online that they needed to carry enough fuel to cover each leg since there are no ground facilities. So they had to land at maximum landing weight. Plus they would have 4 engine redundancy incase something went wrong.

Non radar separation like any oceanic flight. With no other flights filed, being the only aircraft makes it easier to manage. Satellite coms during transit and weather reports from the base before landing inc basic ATC I guess.

@@jackyu1143 I read that the base operators are trained in basic ATC and metrology and communicate with the officials in Cape Town. I would guess they land with enough fuel to divert all the way back to Cape Town so if any doubt they turn around.
