[@jc2971]

I remember when USAirways has the non-stops to London, Paris, and Frankfurt. Those were the days of travel from Pittsburgh.Sad that the Allegheny Co. Commissioners and USAirways couldn't work out their differences. This airport is so under-used in America. What a shame.

[@thejazzguy13]

I completely agree. But in the modern air industry, I think PIT as a hub would've been dismantled anyways down the line. Its just how it is now unfortunately. That's where airlines such as Southwest come in greatly now because they don't follow the hub and spoke system like the others. Great comment and thanks for watching!

[@Bogeyboy-kz8uu]

jc2971 I have family in Pittsburgh and live in the UK. I don't ever remember not having to change at Philadelphia or Chicago or New York or Washington.

[@jaysmith1408]

I remember the end of the years when, if it had an airport, you could fly there from Pittsburgh. From my home in Pittsburgh to our cabin 2 hours north of Ottawa would take about five hours, door to door. Visit family in Dayton? Sure. Ithaca? Of course! Huntington, WV? Why not? Inlaws across the pond? Change planes in Heathrow and you’ll be there for supper. US Air served every little field in Pennsylvania from there. Now i have to change planes to go everywhere aforementioned with at least one plane change, almost always in an asinine location. Flew to Ottawa, had to fly through Detroit and Toronto, flying through three states twice, and was still the fastest option.

[@viksinha5410]

When I come back from a large airport like Chicago, New York, Newark, or San Francisco, I am coming back to a ghost town. It feels eerily quiet in PIT. Last time I came back from a trip, we were the only plane in the entire airport!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

I do like the 757-200s..I have flown those aircraft to Hawaii from LA. The 757s can fly those good distances but I just always like to fly the First Class cabin I them. I have noticed that United does have Business Class on a few of their 757s. But when WI do fly in the Economy Cabin, I always try to get the Exit Row aisle seats for the good legroom. That is normally row 8..I am glad you are a nice trip there to Paris.. Have a great summer and fly safe.

[@hankolsen795]

Delta should start nonstop service to London Heathrow from Pittsburgh. I think it would work well as a seasonal route

[@thejazzguy13]

I definitely agree Pittsburgh should have a London nonstop flight. I do think British Airways would work better for the route though, and it should be year round. Thanks for watching!

[@hankolsen795]

thejazzguy13 You're welcome! I found an article on the internet from 2015 saying that British Airways had no intention of adding a Pittsburgh route from London Heathrow. It said that one of the airlines from the US should try to operate that route. And Delta has a hub at LHR.

[@hankolsen795]

I flew on this same route on a Delta sky team 757-200 with a new interior, LED lighting, big TV screens for each passenger and actually decent legroom. I thought this was much better than a B767-400 from ATL.

[@JohnAGood]

A few years ago BA did operate a direct flight from LHR, later transferred to LGW. Unfortunately, BA did not find the route profitable and it was abandoned. Later US Airways operated a service from LGW to Pittsburgh. I can remember the last time I flew this route to London the cabin was only about a quarter full. Not long after that US Airways closed their operation on this route. It's strange how London/ Pittsburgh has never worked out.

[@lvsluggo007]

The only times I ever flew across the Atlantic or the Pacific was on a 4-engine 707 back in the 70s. When you're over *nothing* but water for over 5 hours for the Atlantic or 8-10 hours over the Pacific, I WANT 4 damn engines!! Yeah I know about ETOPS, to HELL with that.. If for some reason, I ever have an opportunity to go to Europe again, it will be on a four-engine aircraft, which if I fly a US carrier would only be a 747.. Sad you have to fly a European/Arabic airline to get a A340 or A380...

[@Altenholz]

Agree. Last time i flew a similar route was back in 2001 from Frankfurt to Philadelphia visiting my german aunt living in NJ. Did that trip with Lufthansa an A 340-200 ( still at that time only 5 left in service for LH ) and meanwhile retired.

[@steveharris1740]

All U.S. carriers have decommissioned the 747 in favor of more fuel efficient jets like the 777, 787, and brand new A330 Neo. It is the same reason why U.S. carriers will never use the A380...so if you are going to stick with U.S. carriers it will have to be a two engine plane. You could always book flights through Air France, Lufthansa, and British Airways who use A340, A380, and 747.

[@martinjuulandersen9694]

Steve H. Past 2020 A340 with European carriers will be gone same goes with the 747-400 . Lufthansa still has the B747-8 though. The A380 is also is a bit questionablw whether or not they will be around in the future, do to cost effiency. Mayalasia Airlines parked 5 of theirs. But you always sail I suppose...

[@jtkm]

What do you think about the future of the service? Condor released season PIT to Frankfurt flights, and WOW Air launched year round transatlantic Reykjavik flights. Do you think more competition will be better or worse for Delta?

[@thejazzguy13]

Well, I think the competition definitely won't help Delta out, but I do think they're still good with the seasonal service. I think there's enough demand that all three routes can survive, and I strongly believe PIT could also add a London route as well. That'd probably be the most popular option. Business travelers also are more likely to choose Delta over leisure carriers like WOW and Condor (even though they offer business class). I flew this flight back and forth and both times the business class was booked solid. I do think though any hope of the service going year round now is shot for PIT. Thanks for the comment and for watching!

[@Dana_Danarosana]

I'm guessing the "chainsaw" noise is the PTU equalizing hydraulic pressure when one of the engines was shut down to save fuel during the taxi. It seems to start about the right time for it to be PTU. But I've never heard one sound like that... ESPECIALLY on a Boeing aircraft. (They sound kinda like a mix of an old Dodge starter and a dog barking on A320's.) This aircraft entered service in early 1998 with TWA during their restructuring, became part of American during the takeover, and was sold to Delta in 2001. It has been in service for almost 19 years. Perhaps it's time to service or replace the PTU...

[@jeanlucglorieux]

Starting next year (2018), Delta Airlines will use a wide-body Boeing 767-300 for this route, which will be a definite improvement. Unfortunately, they will also shorten by nearly a month the time period for which this flight operates, with the last flight taking place on September 4, instead of the end of September. Flight numbers will also be changed from DL96 to DL124 for the Pittsburgh to Paris flight and from DL97 to DL125 for the Paris to Pittsburgh flight.

And I've flown transatlantic from Newark many times on the 757. It's the same seat as a widebody. I thought it was fine.

[@thejazzguy13]

Thanks! Yah tell me about it...it truly is not that bad. I think a lot of people are comparing this flight and plane to their domestic flights across the US - which is inaccurate. Delta uses completely different models and interiors of the 757 for their transatlantic routes, so it's a much better experience (just like flying any wide body overseas).

[@czbbflier]

Were there any announcements in French? At 21:35 - dear God, what is that spooge?

Luc Gruijters The 757 is great plane for higher density domestic runs with a great MTOW. No doubt about that. However, if I book full fare on a full service carrier and luck of the draw puts me on a narrow body overseas, yes I'd be disappointed. If it were a discount carrier, I'd understand. But I suppose PIT to CDG probably isn't the highest capacity run either. Anyways, was just saying...I wouldn't like it.

All the jetliner aircraft have the range ..airlines just prefer larger jets to fill more seats which makes them more money on international flights. The 757 is sometimes used on London & Paris routes when there is not enough people to fill a larger jetliner, which saves them money on fuel.

British airways does an a320 or 19 can’t remember from London to jfk with a stop in Shannon Ireland for pre customs and fuel.. and it has a special seating setup.. think it’s like 30-40 something seats..
