Well, I have to say that Air Astana deserves credit. Both flights went without a hitch, and the staff at Almaty was very helpful tob you, in making that tight connection. Somebody at Air Astana has figured out how to operate an airline properly.

[@mildertduck]

It looked like they were expecting someone doing that transfer. I do wonder why that doesn't happen more often.

[@mjt8199]

​@@mildertduck They will do. Airlines will know who'll be connecting on to what flights at the transit point so should/do make the effort to meet passengers and pretty much fast track them through. This connection was beautifully executed.

[@markrolfe5084]

The food pretty decent in compared to their competitors too

[@Flajetcollector60]

Recently flew a Delta 767-300 to Atlanta from TPA and a Delta 767-400 back for the most part to have the opportunity to fly these amazing aircraft while they are still in service. The 300 was 33 years young and the 400 was 31. I was fortunate enough to have the captain of the 767-300 invite me to the flight deck while prepping for departure out of Tampa. Spent at least 20 minutes on the flight deck which was amazing sitting there in the jump seat while the crew prepared for for departure. Thanks for this Noel. I did not realize that the last 767 passenger aircraft was only 10 years old !

[@xa613rzinfiniteflight8]

Amazing thing is that the 767 will continue to fly even when they phase out the PAX services with cargo. I work on the 763 pretty much everyday and sometimes 762s

[@briantampa1164]

I did to and it was swapped out because the 757 had mechanical problems

[@arianafoster2929]

That is the airline, I want to work for and the aircraft I would love to work for only a couple more years until I can apply

[@airplanechannel9493]

The first 767-400 was delivered in December 2000, 23 years ago. How was is 31?

[@justing42]

@@arianafoster2929 if you were in SEA we have 2 we are working on right now

[@jacksonkuster3805]

It seems like the airline did a good job getting you QUICKLY through the airport!

[@elielamhout9995]

Hello Noel. The first time I flew a Boeing 767-200 in 1984 with El Al. I was uncompanied minor flying from Paris Charles de Gaulle to Tel-Aviv. It was really exciting. I thought that the plane was a starship. Since that first flight, I enjoy flying with big planes. When I flew back to France, it was a Boeing 747-200. I was seated in the first row in the nose of the aircraft. The movie that you where watching is the beginning of "Shining". Cheers.

[@sultankamysbayev1937]

As a Kazakh guy, that movie "Kazakhs versus Aliens" was an example of a cringe comedy that has C-rated flat jokes and huge plot holes. It is surprisingly not yet available on KZbin (most Kazakh studios would upload their movies on their official KZbin channels a couple months after the cinema screenings, sometimes they even come with English subtitles). From my experiences flying Air Astana, they add English subtitles to all Kazakh movies (usually 1 classic movie + 2 new releases per month). They used to operating many of such long-haul flights with Boeing 757, but now replaced them with A321neos. This year they also launched A321LR flights between Almaty and London Heathrow (with a refueling stop in Aktau) - 11 hours in a narrow-body aircraft

[@user-qr8ki8ue4i]

My dad (RIP, dad) received a big fat plaque (not a big fat bonus, mind you) for being the lead systems engineer on the 767 I think it was. He retired from Boeing back in the late 80's/early 90's. Told them where to stick their gold watch when he retired.

[@klmethot]

I used to build small sub assembly parts for the Boeing 767 from 1985 to 1989. It is crazy that this is the last one. Just like you Noel, it will always hold a special place in my heart!

[@PatrickDuparcq]

Comment & Suggestion: (1)The capital is renamed (again) back to Astana. Most Kazakh citizens seems to prefer the name Astana anyway. (2) Almaty is a wonderful city, but if you have a chance to choose between Astana or Almaty for your connection, go for Astana: beautiful lounges (4 lounges, I believe) and good shopping. Enjoy your travels!

[@user-md7kn3wo2w]

Что то деревня, что это.

[@aikotoba99]

I had no idea it was changed back again. Something is definitely going on there with these name changes. I was there when Nursultan Nazerbayev was President.

[@PatrickDuparcq]

@@aikotoba99 I lived there for 8 years and it was a great experience, now back in Chicago. Name changes are not strange to the place. It's been called Akmolinsk, Tselinograd, Akmola, Astana, Nursultan, and now back to Astana.

[@danielwatkins5389]

My favorite Noel quote. "I've gone for the chicken". 😂

[@CHSBulldog59]

Love the B767. Lot of 763s and 764s still flying in states with Delta and United, hope they continue to keep them running for the foreseeable future.

[@TransistorBased]

I ended up talking with a 757 pilot last year, and those planes aren't going anywhere soon. I would assume that means the 67s are staying too

[@GabrielRoberts]

Particularly great shots of the landscape and cityscapes from altitude! I've seen a ton of your videos but this was the first time I said "WOW" out loud from the cool perspective. Maybe I haven't been paying enough attention but this video seemed to have excellent out-of-the-window shots. Thanks for the great videos!

[@Jeng4280]

I love living vicariously through your videos of flying around the world in different planes. Sounds like sometimes you have quite an adventure! LOL! Thank you for sharing your videos with us.

[@noelphilips]

Thank you for the kind words, glad you enjoy them.

[@joannharrington2279]

Just went into your merch store and bought a loo review shirt. You lead a charmed life to be able to catch that flight. As always enjoyed going along on your adventure. Safe travels.

[@noelphilips]

Thank you!

[@Gvcuk]

Thanks for the latest video Noel, I always look forward to your Sunday videos ❤

[@pitchtransition]

Couldn't stop enjoying your videos lately! Awesome, thank you for this one

[@SeanPasquale-jz1uu]

When landing at Almaty you see a lot of quite nice houses very close to the runway. Remarkable.

[@bilaalvance9555]

Great Video! Enjoyed this one thoroughly

[@sebdoesstuff6776]

Your looking much healthier since you’ve moved to America noel! Thank you so much for the awesome flight review ✈️ 🎉

[@davecass485]

Hey Noel, I have always loved the 767 as well. Your 7hrs flight is a about the time it takes to fly coast to coast here in Canada. AC 737 Max8 flight from Halifax, NS (YHZ) to Vancouver, BC (YVR) clocks in about 6hrs45mins. For perspective the flight from LHR to YHZ on an AC MAX8 is 6hrs50mins. The longest possible East to West domestic flight would be St. John's, NL (YYT) to YVR but does not have a non-stop, 1 stop flight with a 53 minute layover is clocked at 9hrs21mins.

[@samuelmartin707]

Great video Noel!!!! I love watching all the places you fly to. 2 thumbs up my friend!!!!

[@noelphilips]

Thank you!

[@semsemeini7905]

The first plane I flew on was the DC-6. I was afraid of the 767 because of the LAUDA crash so I avoided it at first. You skipped desert on the second flight. Shucks!!! Looks like a nice airline.

[@billbrading913]

Hey Noel. I am SO happy I found your channel! Not only am I an aviation nut, but I find your videos so informative and relaxing!

[@noelphilips]

Welcome aboard!

[@barrygower6733]

In the late 70s, on a trip around what was then Soviet Central Asia, I flew from Moscow to Alma Ata on an Iluyshin Il-62. Fruit-flavoured boiled sweets were handed out before take-off and the food offering was cold rubber chicken and rice.

[@itsdelex4902]

It’s now called Astana again even though they changed it to Nur sultan before.

[@honestdelivery]

It was quite probably a chicken sausage! My goodness Noel, you get more and more British every video. Brilliant stuff as usual. Intro to the movie was probably 'Misery'. I'm guessing. Am I right?

[@woutergijs5246]

Immediately my thought as well😅

[@J.M.24]

awfully close to missing the second flight! great video Noel

[@RobJaskula]

The only time I've flown a 767 is from DFW to ORD on a -200 used on the busy commuter route. Big fan of those birds! Good vibes from the lad at check-in!

[@frankbarr1101]

1st aircraft I flew on was a Cambrian Airways BAC 1-11 416 between Dublin and Manchester. It was small and nippy and very very noisy. I don't get sentimental over it though as I much prefer the more modern 350s and 787 in terms of comfort and quietness. Ive travelled on most of my bucket list aircraft including many Soviet era planes over the years but unfortunately never on a Concorde😭 or indeed a Comet, DC8 or 10. As for your shorts - no comment! 😜

[@MrDbone75]

A very good Monday morning to you all from Wellington Somerset in the UK 🇬🇧

[@torgeirbrandsnes1916]

Great vlog as always! The pax 767 was then made from Roll out in 1981-2014. The cargo is still made with UPS and Fedex as the two buyers standing along with the USAF KC-46. Is FI last airline standing when it come to pax 767 in Europe? Ex NZ btw. Now FI has ordred 25 A-321 XLR. That has sting for Boeing. I have never seen that movie. Keep up the good work. Be safe!

Qantas 767 was the first aircraft I flew on years ago from Perth to Sydney

[@gadgme73]

Air Astana are a very good airline, have flown with many times, last flight their A321 NX in the throne seat in business. Do not compare them with SCAT, no comparison! Air Astana are 49% owned by BAE, hence the no flying over or to Russia. Their CEO is British, they are progressing very well. Would definitely recommend. Edited - Ah! You did try it!

[@debateforallkz]

British CEO, half-owned by British multinational aerospace company based in London, great service on and off board, and yet Noel still chooses to resort to Borat jokes. Don't get me wrong Noel, the viewers love your quibbles, but these Borat jokes are starting to get old and frankly, quite disrespectful, especially considering that you then proceed to thank the Kazakh cabin crew on your way out. Not much of a sincere gratitude I would say.

[@apc9878]

I thought the no overflying Russia rule was to do with the fact all the aircraft are registered in Ireland? I've never actually flown with them, normally I use Qazaq Air because I love the Q400, but I have also been on SCAT!

[@user-qc4jj7gp6s]

⁠@@apc9878 so flights to Europe have to avoid Russia but you can still fly from Kazakhstan to Russia

I don’t know what it is about Noel but I absolutely love when he reviews the food onboard these flights. Whenever he mentions that something is nice I instantly become hungry🤣

[@philipf2705]

The music at the beginning of the shining is the same music that was playing in Noel’s head, while he raced through the airport to make that connection. “Here’s Johnny!” As you hand the A320Neo staff your boarding pass….Lol! Great video Noel and I had no idea Almaty was so far away from Istanbul!

I love that Noel avoids doing lots of first and business class reviews (there's too many of them) and focuses on aspects that aviation greeks would love to know about! The other person I often watch is Josh Cahill - I wish they did another joint video together.

[@horseathalt7308]

@Goel Numa I love when either of them simply "pops up" suddenly in the other's video.

[@nshaviation]

Stunning !

[@ThorAU]

Loved 😍 this video. Hope you got some sleep 😴 💤 on the 6hr flight 👍

[@senorcoach]

Jak sie masz? It's a Polish phrase that means How are you? The reason Borat uses it is because the actor, Sacha Baron Cohhen, doesn't speak Russian or Kazakh. But growing up, in Hammersmith, London he interacted with a lot of Polish immigrant children so he learned some basic Polish phrases! Borat actually uses a few other Polish phrases too. Cohen also use a lot of Hebrew in place of Kazahk in the films, his producer speaks Armenian in reply. It just makes the movies even funnier in my opinion.

[@RoadCone411]

That’s the intro to The Shining - I’m heading to Estes Park this summer for a wedding, decided against staying at the Stanley Hotel though :)

[@tobyprice1092]

I took a Ethiopian 767 from Luanda to Addis. They were using it due to the 737 max crash. Cool plane. They had removed all of the inflight entertainment and covered where the screens were with plywood. Only in Africa.

[@cyclonicleo]

I flew on one of the last Air New Zealand 76's back in th day and it was a lovely thing. As for Air Astana, colour me impressed! I know that they've invested heavily in modernising and upgrading, so it looks like its paid off for them.

Atlanta-headquartered Delta Air Lines has a mix of Airbus and Boeing widebodies. It's a little less diverse now that the carrier has phased out its Boeing 777 fleet, but the 767-300ER and -400ER still operate on the Boeing side

Hey Noel, my first flight too was on a 767 well 2nd, I flew China Yunnan Airlines a 737 from Kunming my hometown to Beijing at age 6, on the way home it was the 767, one of 3 in their fleet super rare fitted with Rolls Royce engines only other operator to order the RR powered 767 new from Boeing besides British Airways, it was awesome, this trip made me an avgeek and fall in love with aviation!

Back in 1994 I flew on a 767 - 300ER belonging to Royal Brunei from LHR to PER via Dubai and Bandar Seri Bagawan. Lovely plane, lovely staff and really comfortable flight. Also flown on a Qantas 767 internally in Australia and it was a bit grim in comparison to the Royal Brunei one. This was all back in the days when Boeing made planes I wanted to fly on (737 - 400, 757, 767 and especially the beloved old 747).

Great and passionate video as always. Title is somewhat misleading and suggests, that there is only one airworthy passenger 767 left on this planet. Come over to Japan for the ultimate 767 experience in an unmateched variety from ANA, JAL to Air Do with and without winglets (the latter clearly preferred). 767s still going strong on regular services on this side of the world. Happy landings, Mate !
