Full Flight - American Airlines - Boeing 787-9 - LAX-DFW - N841AN - IFS Ep. 277

[@katierose6715]

I am a really nervous flyer but for some reason I really love watching these videos! I love listening to the sounds of the plane and the background talking in the cabin. Im trying to convince myself that this will help with my fear of flying lol.

[@sla31]

Over the years, a lot of people have posted similar things on my videos. Honestly, it’s not something I ever considered people using my videos for. But, if they can help people overcome their fear of flying, that I am thrilled. I really hope they do help!

Your chances of dying are 1000's times greater driving a car every day. I mean, when you think of how many planes take off and land every day, when was the last airliner crash in the US? I can't even remember one. Lol

[@sharoncassell5273]

It should. The only real way is to fly. My parents in law never flew.died at 86 and their remains were flown by air to be buried in south Carolina where they were born . They migrated to New York at 25. Rode bus to South Carolina often where old family were still planted. Try short ight first then graduate to longer ones. California Canada then Dubai Philippines Japan. Good luck. Pray too.

[@turbofanct6679]

I love how the wing gets unloaded all at once by the uplifting spoilers! Gracely curved and then, istantaneously, the airflow gets deflected and the "magic force" disappears, leaving the action to the rough, intense breaking. Poetry. Top quality video, thank you!

[@sla31]

Glad you like it!

[@alphonzodavis6712]

Love the cabin seating arrangement very organized and comforting!

[@margaretroselle8610]

Beautiful views. I have never flown out of New Zealand and being able to experience it, albeit from my faraway sofa, is fantastic! Many thanks!

[@sharoncassell5273]

Well the sofa is cheaper but the real experience is exciting.and exhilarating. Looking is not feeling. I have flown since 20 and still get a rush before & in the air. I learned how to fly at 27 and am 69 going on a trip to VA next week before my Birthday in October 2023. Try it. It's fun more than skiing.

I do miss those take offs. Lived in LA for quite some time. That takeoff was the smoothest in the west!

[@sla31]

Very consistent winds help with that. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@sla31]

Do not ask me how I got first class on this flight. I got really lucky. That's the only thing I can figure. I have no idea why, but every other flight combination from LAX-MCI through DFW on this particular day was the typical $900-$1,200 one-way for first class. For whatever reason, this particular flight, paired with my next flight was only $221. Economy was $197. So, Obviously I booked first. Trust me, I do not make enough money here on KZbin, or at my regular job for that matter, to have this type of luxury on a regular basis haha. So, what was a treat for me can now be a treat for you! Enjoy!

[@turbofanlover]

Nice! And you actually got a decent meal on a short domestic flight, too! :)

[@sla31]

I did. Any first class domestic flight that is over 2 hours gets full meal service.

[@kendallterrence]

Yes, there is a reason you were able to get first class on this flight. Your luck stems from the fact that you were the only person on the flight. In addition....., you were the only booking// someone had to pay for the fuel for this scheduled flight. You won the lottery!! Congrats. The left engine is amazing however. Makes me want pancakes, lol!!!!

Hi Skylite, very nice, flying out over the Pacific, then the desert southwest, don't get any better than that. The approach into DFW, just beautiful man. Keep doing what doing. Stay safe up there.

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. the approach into DFW would've been even better had my window not iced up. That's why you can see a drastic change in quality form takeoff to landing. Small ice crystals formed in between the two layers. Thanks for watching!

And thank you for watching. Much appreciated!

[@topgeardel]

I'm glad others pointed it out. I was confused about the takeoff. I'm from the Midwest and that definitely wasn't Chicago with mountains in the distance...lol.

[@sla31]

Haha. That was my fault. I have a template I use to copy and paste information for video titles, descriptions and tags. It makes things a lot easier for me. I copy and pasted info from my last 787-9 flight and then forgot to change the airpot info. My bad. It's now fixed. Thanks for watching man!

[@73av8r5]

Been on the 78 a couple times now. If you sit at the wing note the amazing wing flex on takeoff. The wing tip appears to flex above the fuselage. Amazing aircraft.

[@sla31]

The wind is very fun to watch on the 787. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@kendallterrence]

Its a video of a left engine. Great for white noise. Dont understand why its popular unless you are an insomniac! I fell asleep just writing this. Woke up to pay extra close attention to the left engine on my craft! Best wishes with your engine!!!!!!!!

[@sla31]

It’s popular because aviation has a huge following of people who absolutely love flying. And, although the view out the window is what I show most, there are other things in this video. I show the seat, the service, the food that you receive on the flight, everything to do with the flight. So, people can use this video to determine whether or not they want to give American their business. I appreciate you watching, but maybe my channel isn’t the channel for you. Given that my channel is mostly this haha.

[@vigorousboredom7016]

I am absolutely amazed at how quiet the 787 engines are. It seems like all aircraft manufacturers that produce passenger airliners have really improved in this area in recent times. These planes sound so much more quiet for the passengers than planes of the past. I wonder how they have been able to make these engines run so much more quiet than before. I am an engineer and I would be interested to find out. I wonder if they use noise cancellation technology.

[@MrJojowasaman]

The newest engines have reduction gearing for the front turbofan and allows the fan blades to operate below the speed of sound, which improves fuel efficiency and perhaps reduces noise as well.

[@YukariAkiyama]

Black magic. Trust me, I know some people.

Nice video my friend! Never been on AA, but heard about them! Also, I’ve never been on a 787. But when I was Plane spotting at LAX, I saw a few 787s. Like AA’s 787!

[@sla31]

They're a great plane. Very nice to fly on. Especially when you get first! Thanks for watching my friend!

[@beltrams]

Was this some kind of reduced power takeoff? The power sounds like it increased sometime after takeoff (rather than the usual decrease) as they passed off shore. That and the takeoff roll was fairly long.

[@sla31]

I don't know for sure, but it's very possible. Even fully loaded, a 787 would be pretty light on fuel for such a short flight. That coupled with the good weather and long runway means they very lightly could've performed a derated takeoff.

[@Anyone553]

Great video and great airplane!!! I haven’t been on AA’s 787. I’ve only flown on Aeromexico’s 787. Soon I’ll take AA’s!

[@navinchakra7717]

Great views fantastic video thanks

[@Darrin.Crawford]

I have seen many of these videos but I have to ask because I plead ignorance. Is your phone leaning against the window on it's own or are you holding it with your hand the whole time?? Sorry if it's a stupid question.

[@sla31]

No stupid questions here my friend. I hold the camera by hand. There are mounts you can buy, like suction cup mounts, but the problem with those is that, engine vibrations can transfer through the plastic window into the mount and then into the lens of the camera. This makes footage look distorted. Holding the camera by hand allows me to hold the camera exactly where I want it, without actually touching the window in any way.

[@williamkinyon3832]

Excellent Video....2 questions...1) What do you think the reason is that they go 3-4 miles out over the ocean there, then head due south to almost halfway to SanDiego, then head due east to DFW?...and....2) Have you thought about using the ATC / Pilot conversations during the flight ?? I think I asked you this once before.....

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. To answer your questions. One of the reasons why they go so far out over the ocean before they make their turn back east is for noise abatement. In fact, I think it is illegal for them to start turns before they pass the shoreline. The second part of that equation is ATC. There’s a lot of traffic moving around Southern California. So, the length of time before they turn back to the east may just be for sequencing. As for adding ATC to the video. I would love to do that. And I have actually looked into doing that. But, unless I can find a better way to gather all of the communications for my flights, it is a huge time investment. The problem is, as far as I’m aware, there is no way to easily find the communications for only your flight. You can easily go online, and listen to air traffic control recordings for any city, approach, departure, center, on any day, etc. But, on a flight like this you would have to find your flight talking to at least seven different controllers in all kinds of places. Los Angeles ground, Los Angeles tower, Los Angeles departure, three or four different ATC centers as it was traveling across the country, DFW approach, DFW tower DFW ground, etc. trying to find all of the ATC communications with this one flight, to then have to splice in to the video at the correct times, would be so time-consuming. And the basic, bottom line, is that I don’t have time to do that for all of the episodes. As much as I would love to, I tried to do it on a couple of flights and it just took way too much time.

[@mike89128]

@Steven Strain On this route the VOR at Seal Beach, Ca is the nav point to turn landward. Used to live at Seal Beach, you can see the pier, and the planes would do this all day.

[@sla31]

Yes it was. American Delta and United all frequently use the international terminal for domestic flights. Usually the ones on large wide body planes.

[@alexd1839]

Do you use a filming device for your iPhone, or is it all handheld?

[@sla31]

Everything on my channel is filmed handheld. I don't use any type of mount when filming. I don't trust mounts for several reasons. First, if there are a lot of vibrations running through the plane, which can happen often when you're dealing with jet engines haha, those vibrations can be transferred directly into the mount. That, in turn, transfers them directly into the camera. It can then make the footage look warped. Imagine the picture looking like the surface of a pond that a rock had just been thrown at. That's what the footage can come out looking like. That to me is unwatchable. By hold the camera by hand I can isolate the camera from the aircraft, which helps create an ultra smooth picture. Plus, my arm is made of fat and muscle, which coincidentally, is a great material to absorb all of those vibrations. The second reasons why I don't use a mount is because you lose a lot of flexibility when filming. For example. Say you're on a morning flight right in the middle of spring. There is condensation and dew all over the aircraft. You set your mount up, get it all locked into the perfect position, you rocket down the runway for takeoff, and suddenly there is a massive stream of water running right across the window in front of where you set your mount up. Too bad at this point, it will take you too long to re-adjust it. By holding the camera you can instantly adjust how your holding it to avoid things like this. Hope that helps!

Ah yes! I don’t fly first class very often, but boy it’s nice when I do. This was actually a mistake fare I was able to find. The full trip, which consisted of LAX-DFW-MCI was mistakenly listed for like $228. It was only this flight combo, as every other flight combo was the regular $800, $900, or even $1,000 for the same routing. Sometimes airlines make mistakes on their pricing models, and this was one of them. So, I was only able to take this trip because it was a mistake that AA honored 😬. I actually have another trip like this coming up soon. My trip on Dec 7-8 is all first class, including two 777-200’s. It was another mistake fare. Four flights from TUL-MIA and back for only $320. That’s amazing considering coach was $290 for the same flights and all other flights were $900+. Of course, you can reference the last channel update on Patreon to see the exact flights, but I am very much looking forward to that trip 😁.

[@bigboi2286]

why would they use a long range airtcraft for a 1 hour flight

[@sla31]

It's quite common for US airlines to operate short flights with large aircraft. There are several reasons for this. First, is simple supply and demand. Between Los Angeles and Dallas/Fort Worth, there are roughly 21 million people. Only 57 counties in the world have more population than those two metro areas. So, there's a lot of people in those two markets. That alone means you could easily fill a 787. But you also have to consider that LAX and DFW are both huge American Airlines hubs. So they have a lot of connecting traffic between the airports, which helps them fill these large planes even more. And last, sometimes the airlines need the planes to move between hubs for longer flights. For example, American my have the plane operate SYD-LAX and then want the plane in DFW to operate DFW-FRA. So they might as well sell tickets on the flight between LAX and DFW. In the end, it's very common for US airlines to operate wide bodies on short domestic routes. Some other examples. American often runs 787's, 777's, and A330's (when they still had them) between the following cities. JFK and ORD, DFW, MIA. MIA and DFW, LAX, ORD, BOS, PHX. DFW and LAX, ORD, MIA, MCO, BOS LAS and others. And this doesn't even include flights to Hawaii, which are domestic but longer. Hope that helps my friend!

@@sla31 Thanks and love your vids!

butter landing 👍👌

[@Bassman7E7]

Great video from LAX to DFW!!! Now I know where that Dreamliner comes from every time I see at A24. (I work on the baggage side and see that aircraft daily)

[@sla31]

Haha. That was my fault listing it as ORD-LAX in the title. I have a template I use to copy and paste information for video titles, descriptions and tags. It makes things a lot easier for me. I copy and pasted info from my last 787-9 flight and then forgot to change the airpot info. My bad. It's now fixed. Thanks for watching man!

I love

[@johnsonof4]

I feel like the 787 engine sounds are silent

[@sebastianosettonni8573]

16:54 here comes the truck!

[@sla31]

Just imagine. You could probably fit four of those trucks into that engine.

[@sebastianosettonni8573]

I know It’s so big

[@kendallterrence]

jajajaja

[@eajusco]

Says the arrival is DFW???

[@sla31]

Yes. It was an arrival at DFW. This flight was from LAX-DFW.

So do you just fly for fun? No purpose? I do the same thing, and it’s awesome.

[@sla31]

Well, I do consider it fun. But it isn’t for no purpose. The purpose is to continue this channel. I fly a lot because I have this channel. If I didn’t, I would not be able to upload 7-10 videos per week. And, believe it or not, nothing that you see on this channel has anything to do with my job. I don’t work for any of the airlines, so I don’t fly for free. And my regular full time job doesn't involve travel. Everything you see posted here is done on my own time, on my own dime. This channel started as a hobby that I would upload my aviation travels to for fun. Now, I upload 7-10 videos per week, and it's really turned into a second job that I lose money on. I don't keep track of my time working on the channel, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's more per week then my regular job. Most of the traveling I do now is solely for this channel. I have 20 flights booked between now and the end of March, and all 20 of them are to make sure I continue to have enough footage to meet my upload schedule. So, I really appreciate everyone taking the time to watch, comment, like, subscribe, etc. A ton of work goes into keeping this channel alive. Hope that helps answer your question my friend.

@@sla31 incredible. Thank you for what you do.

Nice

Thanks for watching my friend!

[@wallyklw5]

Mother of all pushbacks

[@sla31]

Yeah. LAX has a lot of gates like this that require a long push back because the building, that connects the terminals across the alley, is too close to push you back and point you in the right direction from the start.

[@FlyViews737]

Is it me or was the taxi kinda fast?

my fat ass thought this was lasagna 😂😂

Haha. Nope, a breakfast enchilada. Thanks for watching my friend!
