The QANTAS 717 Flight That Gave Me EARGASM 🔉 (ECONOMY Class)

[@JaydenWong]

my channel is growing and so is the number of comments I receive. I do apologise as I won’t be able to reply to all comments from now on :/ But I still read each and every one of them and will endeavour to reply to all, thanks✈️

[@PurpleGlxy_Official]

I want to be a qantas pilot, because it’s good. And I get a free trip, I know heeps about planes. Also free trips.

[@raymondleongdiva]

Awesome I love the tour of the home and the cooking! Safe travels!

[@rocketracing3852]

The sound of the engines spooling is acutely so cool it gives me the chills

[@JaydenWong]

hahaha same😂

[@alexwoolford_surf]

i know, i live in coffs harbour, and the 717 200ers sound so nice coming in

[@letsseeif]

The Boeing 717 is basically the same aeroplane that in the mid nineteen sixties began life as the Douglas DC9-30 (&10). Then it morphed into the McDonnell Douglas 87 series, before Boeing acquired MDC and then it became the Boeing 717. And, sixty plus years on, it still looks and feels the same as those DC9s I knew

[@JaydenWong]

it sure does! Probably the most retro plane I’ve taken in a long while. Thanks for watching!

[@abus3562]

Enjoyed the flight and commentary, thanks for taking me along.

[@JaydenWong]

my pleasure :) thanks for watching!

[@Miftahjaya96]

[@kathmmedia]

Oh I have been looking forward to this. Have to go to Hobart (not by choice) In January. Thanks again for your videos.

[@JaydenWong]

Hahaha hopefully it’ll still a good trip to Hobart! Thanks Kath!

[@heathertruskinger6214]

Good to see you have your priorities right... Pringles !!!🤣 Downside of a 717 is the noise from the engines so close to the cabin, but upside is a really cool view of those same engines !

Jayden - great to see (and hear) the 717 and btw, your cat is gorgeous! All the best for your trip to Singapore.

[@MrPerfectionist83]

Great video, Jayden! Glad you had a good experience with us. It was our pleasure to have you on board 😊

[@aaronadam4747]

Was it you the cabin crew on that flight ?

[@JaydenWong]

thanks for the awesome flight☺️☺️

[@rais1953]

Thank you for sharing the song of the engines. When I fly on a 717 or a Fokker I like to be well forward of the engines and then I hardly hear anything.

[@Bad_Karma1968]

Jayden another great vlog ! Of course yes follow the flight attendants lol 😂

[@jvstcu76]

Nice review, Jayden. I know that you will have a great time in Singapore. Hopefully, you will have time to film some of your adventures while you are there. Have a safe flight. 👍🤗❤🛫🙏🌎

[@JaydenWong]

I totally will film everything hehe! thanks John!

Nice trip report mate! One tip, since you have lots of friends, what you can do is ask them to reply to the comments for you. So for each comment they reply to, you give them a peanut 😂

Thanks Mate 👍

[@sittinanhongyotee9718]

I want to see a day trip your christmas🥰🥳😍

[@LoneStarFlightReviews]

Ahhh that roary engine....reminds me of my Hawaiian B717 journey. It roared so loud back then. MDs and 717s are becoming a bit rare nowadays, don't you think so? So getting the chances of riding such planes would be once or twice in a lifetime nowadays. Nice video as always, Jayden!

[@JaydenWong]

Yeah only a handful of airlines still operate them. thanks boria!

thanks Oliver!!

[@rachellowden4548]

Hey 717 FA here! Our in flight entertainment is now back so hopefully next time you travel it’ll be on board for you!

[@JaydenWong]

Hi Rachel! The crew actually did say through the PA that we could use the entertainment app or something but the Wifi was never on 🤣🤣🤣 Maybe they forgot it or something?

[@rachellowden4548]

@@JaydenWong Did you have the Qantas Entertainment app? Our wifi only works on the app, not for social media or browsing etc.

[@JaydenWong]

Yeah I did! The wifi wasn’t switched on though so I couldn’t connect

[@rachellowden4548]

@@JaydenWong oh that’s so annoying! I discovered yesterday that we do have a few aircraft that have it switched off still. Hopefully soon it’ll be up and running!

[@manubird2475]

Aloha! I was surprised to see B717s in Australia because there are so few any where. Here, Hawaiian Airlines flies all 717s interisland. I've never seen a 717 loo before. Interisland flights are only about 20 - 30 minutes, so no time. I was amazed by your seat. The trays on HAL's 717s are barely wide enough for a small coffee or can of beer.

[@simonf8902]

QANTAS bought several for low volume regional routes. Such as Sydney to Canberra. They even added a small Business class section. They own 2O of the type. They are all named after Australian national parks.

[@remarc69]

Fabulous trip report as usual Mr Wong👍🏻 Are you moving to Singapore permanently?

[@ronknoke5400]

Thanks for Video... I Enjoyed... Sandwich looks Tasty !!!

[@yummysatay]

Awesome videos. Can't wait for your review on the A220 coming soon to airports near you.

[@hamanimations1838]

I have flown the 717 before. Melbourne to Canberra.

[@JaydenWong]

amazing! Hopefully they’re here to stay for another decade!

[@GenkisTravels]

I've flown the B717 a couple of times, but never in the back. I'll need to try that sometime. :)

[@dereknewbury163]

Eargasm is the right word: a totally wonderful sound experience! Sounds like changes are afoot for you. Good luck with whatever is coming next

[@SirCooper]

FINALLY!!! I'm doing this exact flight in january next year!!! Thanks :DDD

[@JaydenWong]

amazing!!

[@mba0005]

Great video, Jayden! The sound of the engines spooling up is great! However, I remember from flying on the DC-9s here in the US, it got pretty noisy in the back. How was it on your flight? I love that you flew from Brisbane to Adelaide via Hobart. That's something I would do for more flight experiences! For me, the trip is as fun as the destination. I hope your packing went well and that you are enjoying your time in Singapore. Safe travels!

[@JaydenWong]

totally haha! After this flight, I officially stepped foot on all Aussie states and territories 🤣 However, I can’t say I visited Tasmania🤪🤪 Thanks Mike!

[@pengo369]

I did uber driving for a bit from Brisbane airport, I got a booking that took me to that remote hangar on the opposite side of the airport. They had jumbo in the hangar getting worked on. Thd guy invited me in for an impromptu tour as we hot talking on the ride over and I guess he could see im an av geek.. I didn't take him up on the offer for a tour, to be honest I don't think he was serious.. it was still pretty cool to see it up close tho.

[@NowGetThere]

Looking forward to getting back to flying on Qantas in December. Been sooooo long.

[@aviationwithjeff]

It reminds me of flying the MD-80S. Interesting routing. But I would do something similar if given the choice, or if I fly Southwest here in the States, lol. Nice review.

[@JaydenWong]

Hawaiian still got them haha! thanks Jeff!

[@katiekt3870]

Flying same route to Hobart today and should be on a 717 for it, so keen!

[@nicholasngo5428]

Amazing!

[@JaydenWong]

thanks Antonio!!

[@oliverryan7695]

very nice👍🖒

[@tmoaviation]

Great video Jayden! I love the 717’s especially the engine sounds. They just scream on takeoff.

[@nightowldickson]

Really awesome to hear the engine sounds at the back, I've flown on the QantasLink 717s three times and all in business. Even though the engines are at the back I thought the air noise was really loud in front!

[@JaydenWong]

oh interesting! I’ve always thought it’d be very quiet upfront! Maybe the fact that it’s above the cabin has an effect? 🤣

[@adventuresofaidan3541]

This plane and other flights from Sydney Gold Coast and Brisbane to Tasmania all fly over the far south coast which is where I live I hear them fly overhead sometimes.

[@AviationBlenheim]

nice

[@FromtheWindowSeat]

Nice work Jayden. I really like the 717 … it’s a pity they’re not on any regular routes out of Adelaide anymore. 😢

[@JaydenWong]

ikr!! I miss QF1555 SYD-ADL :/

[@DavidMidwood]

Q. Is the cabin noise louder on a 717 with the engines mounted on the back instead of under the wings?

[@JaydenWong]

Yeah definitely :) but it sounded good and i got a noise cancelling headphone so it was ok

[@Pies.]

WOW!! I didn't know they still flew those old planes but really nice trip review :D

[@Sanznachito]

Those variations in sound, such a great aircraft, however sat so close, was it super noisy all flight?

[@baranyilmaz4949]

Have you ever been to Switzerland?

[@JaydenWong]

just for transit :) Boston/Zurich/Barcelona

[@similann4902]

such a nice video about Boeing 717-200, do you know how many cabin crew works on this qantas boeing 717-200? thanks

[@JaydenWong]

It was 2 or 3. Thanks for watching!

[@pierrenine5775]

Safe travels to Singapore Jayden. Despite all the additional formalities it must be exciting to be flying internationally again. Will you be spending time in Hong Kong before you next return to Australia?

[@simonf8902]

Remember the 717 is the last in a famous aeroplane family. It’s the final iteration of Douglas DC 9 line. Starting in 1966 the DC 9 was stretched to become the MD 80 in 1977. Finally Boeing bought MacAir and morphed the series into the Boeing 717. It was still using the wings and empennage of the DC 9. The line ceased in 2005. One of the longest lived aircraft designs.

[@Aviation763]

Great trip report as always Jayden! I am so excited for you! I hope you enjoy your Singapore trip! I always live the 717. Personally prefer it to the 737 but I do hope that at entertainment if they will have 717s long term. How long are you staying in Singapore for?

[@JaydenWong]

Yeah the plane should’ve got the entertainment, the crew may have forgotten to switch on or something haha Singapore for a week :)

[@VBHB83]

Did a flight on this from Bris to Cairns was a great flight. 717 is a fun plane.

If you thought it was noisy where you sat, you should try the back row! Horrible. I pity the hosties who spend quite a bit of time in the galley even further back.

I would really appreciate an in depth review of your Singapore Holiday Coming Up. Stuck in Queensland, it may be quite some time before I can travel anywhere overseas myself. The NEW Covid strain is quite concerning. Singapore is quite strict on the tests required. Please take a little longer in your video to fully explain your experience & the paper work required. Thank you in advance Jayden.

[@JaydenWong]

you’re right about the tests. I was really frustrated about it, but now everything’s been booked and planned. Off to Singapore tmrw and I will do everything you’ve asked :)
