Full Flight - Southwest Airlines - Boeing 737-8H4 - TUL-DAL - N8641B - WN3151 - IFS Ep. 530

Love the old southwest livery great content ❤️💛💙

[@pianoandaviationandtravel2209]

Me too. I also like the new livery as well. It would be pretty cool to see a Boeing 737 Max-8 old livery as a Retro plane. That would be nice.

That was a very long taxi at TUL. Beautiful skies.

A super clear flight with wonderful views. Many thanks.

Hey Traveler, is it me or did it seem he was coming in HOT to DAL? The whole landing prep and final turn and the way he swung those flaps, he was coming in with a purpose. We've seen this kind of flight determination before, into LGA.

[@pianoandaviationandtravel2209]

That is interesting. Liked question and comment.

Beautiful flight🌺💫

[@BFFAvgeek15]

Great video bro! Just curious, but do you ever encounter flight attendants that don’t like it when you record these flights with your phone on Southwest? I had that happen to me with my camcorder last time I flew Southwest. 👍✈️

[@sla31]

Well, there's several layers to this. Southwest is one of the airlines that are really picky about mounts. They do not like mounts being stuck to the windows. Now, I hold the camera by hand, so this isn't an issue for me. But when I took their re-inaugural 737 Max flight, there were a lot of other aviation enthusiasts and KZbinrs on that flight. I heard the FA's tell several people to remove the mounts and that it wasn't allowed. They seem to be the pickiest about that. But, if you were using a camcorder, you probably weren't using a mount. As far as filming in general? No, I've never had any issues with Southwest FA's telling me not to film. In fact, I've actually worked directly with Southwest's social media & and public relations departments before on specific flights. Like, they've specifically reached out to me, asking me to be on certain flights to help promote them. They don't pay me for it, so that's why you don't see any "paid promotion" branded content, but they've still specifically asked m e to record certain flights. The only other thing I can think of, depends on how big the camcorder was... A long time ago. Like, really before I even started my channel, I was told I couldn't use a specific camera. And this was back when I traveled with a full DSLR camera. It was much bigger than the iPhones I film with now. There is a FAA rule that prohibits any electronics from being used during taxi, takeoff, and landing, that weigh more than 2 lbs. If the flight attendant thought the camera was too heavy of the FAA rules, that could've been the issue. Some airlines also have rules that prohibit professional recording devices on their planes. If the flight attendant thought it was a professional camera, that could've contributed too. Although, that rule is more for like "professional" cameras that new teams or cinematic productions use. Anyways, I once tried to record some stuff on American using my DSLR during taxi and takeoff and was told I couldn't because the camera was too big. And to be fair, it was more than 2 lbs. I know this is a lot, but I'm just brainstorming as I type. A lot of crews don't like being filmed. If you filmed any of the boarding or cabin and weren't "discrete" enough, or blatantly filmed some of the crew, that could've made them mad too. Otherwise, the basic answer to your question is no. I haven't ever had a Southwest crew tell me not to film. But, I take a lot of steps to have as little impact on the flight as possible. I don't film crew, I try to film other people as little as possible, I use the smallest possible camera that still has great quality, I hold the camera by hand to avoid the "you can't attach things to the plane" rule, etc. I don't know if that helps at all, but that's what I've got.

[@BFFAvgeek15]

@@sla31 That’s a big help, actually. I use a Sony HDR-CX330 camera. I guess it would fall into the 2 LB zone. I guess on my future Delta trip I’ll use my IPhone. 👍

[@sla31]

@@BFFAvgeek15 to be fair again, my iPhones film better quality than any of my other DSLR or handheld cams ever did anyways. I have a Panasonic HC-VXF991K that I have used for the channel in the past, but even it doesn’t beat the iPhone. What you really lose by using something like an iPhone, is the zoom ability. Now, I only use/used the Panasonic for spotting, which I really don’t do much of anymore anyways. 🤷🏻‍♂️ For flights I have a 1TB iPhone 13 Pro and two 512GB iPhone 12 Pros. Both the 12 and 13 are great at 4K 60fps. The 11 Pro is really only good up to 4K 30fps. In case that helps.

[@BFFAvgeek15]

@@sla31 That helps too. I have a 128GB IPhone 12. And yes, the iPhone beats camcorders in a few ways. I like the sound quality iPhones bring too, especially when you hear the roar of jet engines. 😁👍

[@JoshuasPHXAviation]

Nice Video SP but it's quite a shame that you had a crying baby when at the gate and taxing out to the runway.

[@tomsamuelson8512]

Seems like there is one on every flight...well you can't put them in cargo..so there you go. Maybe it was one of the F.A. doing that ???

[@sla31]

It is an unfortunate part of flying. And I get people's frustration when watching my videos. See, I have noise cancelling headphones to use when I fly, so I barely notice when I'm filming. I have been attempting to try to edit stuff like this out, but that's extremely time consuming and tedious. So, until I get better at it, or find a better way to do it, it is what it is. We were all babies once.

[@theboeing737flyer3]

Nicely done. I will also document my flight, and I cant wait to upload it to my channel so you will be able to see it as well . I am flying out of Dallas Fort worth and you will receive a shout out from my channel very soon. Thank you

[@pianoandaviationandtravel2209]

You can't self promote channels. I got yelled at on the live stream weeks ago in the live chat before but I'll check out your channel.

[@pianoandaviationandtravel2209]

I subscribed to your channel. I do like the American Airlines planes as channel art. American Airlines is one of my top favorite airline.

[@sla31]

@The DFW Skyline Thanks my friend. I look forward to seeing your content.

[@sla31]

@Piano and Aviation 2209 I don't mind people posting that they have a channel and are going to be posting content. What I don't allow is people to spam my videos/comments with specific links. What @The DFW Skyline did here was fine.

[@adawg2015]

I thought the flight attendants would go through the safety features before pushback.

[@sla31]

Sometimes they do, sometimes they don't. It just has to be completed before takeoff. So, most of the time, it's done when taxiing. Thanks for watching my friend!

[@pianoandaviationandtravel2209]

@Skylite Productions, I figured out the Puzzle on where I think you are going but not saying it because it's not fair to the other people that are trying to guess. It's about being polite with others.

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend. I don't really mind if people figured it out and posted it in the comments. I just meant that I wasn't going to reply to any of them to let them know if they were right. But I appreciate you not wanting to spoil it for others.

The change in cabin pressure can be a killer for a child with congestion! One of ours screamed for the entire short hop over the Rockies (Calgary-Cranbrook) many years ago!

Don't worry about the crying...we can just lower the volume!

[@sla31]

@@jaypek43-Phil as a parent of a 2-year-old myself, who did the same thing on a flight recently, I 100% agree and understand. Personally, it doesn’t bother me when children are fussy or crying on the airplane. It’s a fact of life, and we were all babies once. That said, a lot of people who watch my videos do so to help them concentrate, work, or even relax. So, I can’t understand where people are coming from, when they tell me it makes the video unwatchable. If you’re specifically watching the video to use it as white noise while you work or study. A screaming child can understandably be a bit of a nuisance haha. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@RS-pq5mo]

Did they hook up a tug and pull it into the gate ??

[@sla31]

No, not for this flight. There are some gates at airports around the country that require tugs to pull aircraft in, but that was not the case on this flight. Thanks for watching my friend!

Dallas Love Field

[@petet968]

Love the vids but could you use city names instead of airport codes? I'm sick of looking them up all the time. Danke.

[@zachmatt3]

Agree. This is one of the best channels, but having to look up the codes can be frustrating if you don't know them all.

[@sla31]

I understand not everyone knows the FAA airport codes. However, KZbin limits the number of characters in a title to 100. That's not much space to work with. If I typed out Tulsa International Airport to Dallas Love Field, or even Tulsa Oklahoma to Dallas Texas, that's 1/2 to 2/3 of my title space gone. Since the FAA airport codes are widely accepted abbreviations, they're the easiest piece of information to abbreviate, that a lot of people will already be familiar with. Again though, I know not everyone knows them. That's why I spell everything out, in detail, in the video's description. This incudes every city/airpot with the corresponding codes right next to them. This makes it as easy as possible for people to see the code, reference the description, and easily be able to know what TUL or DAL is. I mean, the alternative is "Full Flight - SWA - B738 - Tulsa International Airport to Dallas Love Field - N8673E - WN1257 - IFS ep 444." Which is actually more than 100 characters. So, if I spell out the cities/airports, I have to abbreviate every other piece of information, and it's still too long. Anyways, this is why I list the airports by their codes. If anyone is unsure of what a code is, that full information is listed in the destruction, which prevents them from having to Google it. Thanks for watching my friend.
