Full Flight - Southwest Airlines - Boeing 737-8H4 - HNL-OAK - N8323C - IFS Ep. 279

[@w1nd1e97]

If anybody ever feels like truly wanting to be or feel like you’re in a plane just get headphones and put this on. Get any chair that has arm rests and push it against a wall so it wont rotate if it does. Then grab things that you would have with you on a flight like a pillow, neck rest, blanket Etc. and just get comfortable in that chair with those things, while having this audio on, just close your eyes and picture you’re in a plane. Try not to open them but move around in your chair like you are in a plane. It took me a few minutes and i mainly felt like it when the plane in the video took off but this truly made me feel like i was in a plane. And all thanks to this video, I am very happy. C:

My goal has always been to present the closest thing to actually being there. So, I appreciate that my friend!

Get something that’ll continuously thump the back of your chair while one of your friends is sitting right next to you boring you to death. Subsist for 5-1/2 hours on a bag of stale pretzels...

Flying is basically my sport

[@Vee3000]

Why do people Love flying so much babies crying no sleep I mean the best thing is take off but then they just turn on autopilot and nothings going on So I don’t understand how u love flying and watch videos of other people flying just because you love flying that’s a little desperate but ok

[@sla31]

FreeX Just because you don’t understand how something appeals to someone else doesn’t mean it’s any less valid than something you may be interested in. I can guarantee that there are things you are interested in that I would have very little interest in. Personally, I love flying, I love traveling, and I love aviation as a whole. i’m more than happy to throw on a two hour flight video and just let it play. That doesn’t mean I think everybody else should have to love it like I do... If that kind of stuff doesn’t appeal to you then fine. And if you don’t want to watch my videos, then I’m fine with that too. But, I’d appreciate if you’d let the people who do enjoy it, watch without trying to condemn their interests. Deal?

[@topgeardel]

@@Vee3000 Nothing "desperate" about it. The fact that I am in a craft 30-40,000 feet up with nothing underneath me but air always makes it unique for me. People that don't see it that way may be "boorish"

The yellow of the Asiana tail joined almost seamlessly with the yellow on the Southwest winglet when it was at the gate.

I'm not sure, but I think they've been having a lot of runway construction recently. That may be one of the reasons why we've been taxiing out to the reef runway. The last couple of times I've been there, we've been doing this. Even for inter island flights. Thanks for watching man!

[@turbofanlover]

So, did I hear the flight attendant say that people could just sit wherever they wished on this flight? And if so, is that the case on all Southwest flights, or...? And would that not potentially pose a configuration setup problem for the pilots in that the plane's center of gravity wouldn't be pre-determined?

[@xantara7891]

On southwest you just pick a seat compare to other Airlines just gave sign seats

[@sla31]

Yes, as xan tara said, Southwest has no pre-reserved seats. Once you board, you can pick any open seat you want. And this is the case for all Southwest Airlines flights. As for weight and balance. Most Southwest flights are full. It's rare that I've been on a Southwest flight that wasn't basically full. On the rare occasion that I've been on a Southwest flight that wasn't full, the flight attendants make people spread out. They'll be telling everyone as they board something like "we're not full today folks. Spread out. One person per row please." Something like that.

[@johnfahoum7494]

I think something you can add is that in the middle of the flight instead of just looking out the window that camera could pan over the cabin some more and you could do some commentary

[@sla31]

That is a great idea. Such a great idea, that I do in fact already do it haha. Including in this video. At 41:50-42:50 for example. The problem is, there really isn't much to see. Once you've seen the inside of the cabin, it doesn't change, whereas the view out the window is constantly changing. Plus, it's against most airlines rules to record passenger or crew faces. It'd difficult to film the cabin once all 160 people are onboard without getting someones face. I do my best to abide by their rules, so I don't have anyone asking me to take down videos. Anyways, One thing that happens is that, because my videos are so long, it can be hard to find the 1-2 minute sections where I'm showing other things. So, for your first point, I show all of that when I board, and then again at some point during the video. As for commentary. That is not something I will do on my channel. My channel is about the aviation, our love for aviation, our shared enthusiasm for aviation, and the beauty that can be found in everyday aviation. You may have noticed, that besides my legs to show legroom, I am not in any of my videos. That's by design. Aviation is the star of my channel, not me. I don't want this channel to be about me. I don't want it to be about me reviewing airlines. People can make their own judgements without me telling them how to feel. So, I don't suspect that you'll be seeing any commentary on my videos anytime soon. Thanks for watching my friend!
