TRIP REPORT | Delta Airlines - 737 700 - Key West (EYW) to Atlanta (ATL) | First Class

Welcome to another trip report. On April 4th, I flew from Islip to Sacramento. I decided to zig-zag across the east coast so I could film some trip reports. I previously flew a Southwest Airlines 737 from Islip to Ft. Lauderdale, and Silver Airways from Ft. Lauderdale to Key West.
Anyways, this flight was on a Delta Airlines 737-700. Delta mainly uses these aircraft for their ATL to vacation destination flights. Key West’s runway isn’t long enough to handle a 737-800 or A320, thus why the smaller plane is suitable for these routes. The cabin was the same as their other 737 800s. The -900s have the newer interior.
Hope you enjoy!

Aircraft: Boeing 737-732 (N304DQ)

Nice video Quintin! ✈️

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks!

Fantastic video, love the cockpit visit at the end of the video

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Yes, that was a nice 757 with winglets aircraft at the very end of your video

[@MNaviation]

Dang that was a smooth landing

[@jamani1086]

Thanks QFS!

[@jacobflanigan6343]

Interesting when you departed from the ground level walking on the tarmac to the plane and arriving through the international swing gate in Atlanta.

[@benjaminschille7653]

Keep doing this great job!!! Nice video❤️

KEYW runway is only 4000' long, they touchdown right on the numbers.

My friend at the begining you got nice Florida music

[@soobinsbread590]

I checked the price for flights to Key West from Atlanta. Its super duper expensive. In Malaysia, air travel is fairly cheap. 1h 50mins flight from Kuala Lumpur to Kuching is less than 100$ even though at some seasons it could be more expensive

[@magnushuber7748]

Hey q, you should collect the inflight magazines, i did that once and i have tons of them from many different airlines! And try flying SAS.

[@alexmi5314]

Aye you finally asked to go in the cockpit i see :D they usually let you in every time when I've asked

[@spottersskuc4516]

Me encantas tus TRIP REPORT, deberías mostrar en un vídeo todo tu equipamiento de cámara

[@evanhough5187]

Not too bad for a 737

[@WyattGoulet]

American Airlines (AAL), Delta (DAL) and United (UAL), three of the larger US airlines with the jets, said that they have not discovered any problems in the planes that have been inspected so far. They all said none of their planes have more than the 30,000 flights that required immediate inspections.

[@jjaviation850]

Delta is the best US airline ever

[@QFSAviationMini]

Jacob’s Aviation you’re right Jacob,s aviation delta airlines is better than American Airlines

[@aaord7872]

Great video

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Delta has their HQ there in Atlanta.. It is so nice there that warm city.. Thanks again and fly safe always ...

[@Mr560sl]

Suggestion :You ought to slow down the movements and take your time when filming what your eye captures is different from the camera lens which is very sensitive...

[@Waldo1411]

Wow. Very interesting trip report! That long walk thru the Apron! Delta feed you well on such a short flight. lol

[@Numbuh07]

This 700 has the power unlike any other. Delta's 737-700s are the best. Sadly they're retired.

[@windanthonystream]

For sure such a small airplane with the same engines as the much bigger 737-900!!

[@bodhisilberling8763]

Awesome report mate! Lol 3:03 when a person totally bombs your perfect shot!

What was with the audio cutting out at the end, there??

[@randyjackson6719]

I want to see some F/A's!!!!

[@theodoretrisvei6762]

What was the ticket price?

[@southwest0092]

Are you in Seat 2

[@STSBMS]

Key West looks beautiful I have to fly this route!

[@WyattGoulet]

Are 737-700's in 737NG in Delta Airlines?

[@paulconnors2078]

Wow, really small IFE screen on the seatbacks in First Class.

[@djijspeakerguy4628]

They were the same in economy. Delta had not upgraded these 737-700s in a long time, and they have retired them and basically replaced them with A220s anyway. Some 737-800s have the same setup, but they’re getting slowly retrofitted with new seats.

[@aviationandmemes1627]

Does anyone know what aircraft is being operated on this route today? I'm guessing the a319 or a220 because of the short runway.

[@mattyb5rockies]

Nice video man! Just next time, please keep the camera still an not zoom in and out every 2 seconds, makes it hard to concentrate on everything.

[@Tradebear]

Couldn't watch it all, ugh

[@miniena7774]

I love Key West!

[@QFSAviation]

I’ve never actually stayed there, I hear it’s nice though!

Woaw PMDG really have nailed these sounds!

[@WyattGoulet]

Are Delta Airlines 737-700's safe to fly?

[@grahamboigamer6494]

I thought EYW only operated A319 and e-175

[@eywspotter9774]

I live there

[@jameswalsh6137]

How isn’t the 737-800 suitable for the route?

[@ecoRfan]

Lifted off literally 3-4 seconds before the end of the runway

[@miniena7774]

ecoRfan No it didn’t. Stop being an armchair pilot.

[@ecoRfan]

Liftoff 13:11 End of runway 13:15 No more than 4 seconds with a climb. Would be shorter if it didn't have to climb and rather accelerated flat down the runway. Satellite imagery shows that the usable runway ends where taxiways end. This isn't armchair piloting, it's using eyes and time to measure that this was a close call.

[@miniena7774]

ecoRfan But it wasn’t, as you hadn’t a clue when the aircraft had achieved a positive rate. Why? Because A.) You weren’t on the flight. B.) You’re not a pilot. C.) You wouldn’t have realized the speed of rotation. An aircraft low off the ground differs from one that is about to have a “close call,” especially seeing as software ensures this nonsense you speak of seldom (if at all) occurs.

[@evanhough5187]

Yes it did Greg Caesar stop being rude

[@ersaviation3031]

@@miniena7774 Lol😂

[@nojussidl]

Music pls!

[@MarcusLeepapi]

Looking very cool.. Yeah, sometimes when you are walking on the airport apron/tarmac area on a good sunny day can be bright all the time....all of us who are airline workers we just deal with that in the airport area. Fly safe...

[@paulconnors2078]

I don't think I'd want to work on that ramp at the height of the Key West summers in July & August!

[@dbrit2431]

nice trip, although I didn't get my bag of peanuts....lol.....you really get the feeling of SPEED when you see a plane flying the other way ....good job Quintin

Hehehe

[@bushyconn]

Flight - Good. Catering - Poor

[@donovanshaffer2037]

I hope the Airbus a220-100 will replace the 737-700 on this flight because that plane has amazing runway performance

[@zachmatt3]

That lift off at the end of the runway was scary. I was surprised, considering that the runway is about a mile long. There was almost no margin.

[@miniena7774]

Idiot.

[@zachmatt3]

If that's how you communicate, Greg, then no wonder you have no subscribers on your channel. Try being civil with people. If you disagree, say so and explain.

[@goytabr]

"Key West’s runway isn’t long enough to handle a 737-800 or A320..." Well, maybe not an early-production 737-800, but now the -800 comes with a "Short Field Performance" (SFP) kit as standard. In Brazil, Gol Airlines operates 737-800 SFPs at Santos Dumont domestic airport (SDU) in Rio de Janeiro, whose runway is even shorter than in EYW (and has similar climate conditions). Not sure if the 737 MAX 8 has the SFP kit, but it probably does, as SFP opened up a large market for Boeing in airlines that need to fly to airports with a high demand but a short runway. As for the A320, maybe it wouldn't be feasible (at least not with a good safety margin), but A319s (of which Delta has plenty) also operate routinely at SDU, so it's safe to assume that they could operate at EYW as well.

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah you are actually correct. But the problem is no US airlines have operated the SFP. All I know is only GOL has down in Brazil. It isn’t very efficient for US airlines as they operate their aircraft to many airports, not one in specific. The SFP isn’t as fuel efficient as let’s say like the Next Gen 737s.

[@goytabr]

I've checked it and you're right - SFP is only standard equipment in the 737-900ER, and as it is the largest 737NG, I don't know if the "shorter fields" it can operate on are as short as with the 737-800. So, 737-800s operating in the U.S. are not necessarily SFP, though I doubt that there is any impact in fuel consumption, as modifications are mainly in flaps and brakes, which only affect landings and takeoffs. Over 90% of Gol's fleet are 737-800 SFPs, and Gol operates them even where SFP is not needed, as between large international airports with long runways, or on relatively long routes that require heavier and longer takeoff runs (example: São Paulo-Punta Cana, which is one of the world's longest 737 routes). Gol wouldn't do that if they were uneconomical. And one small correction: "Gol" is not an acronym and it's read as written (not "G.O.L."), so no need to write it in all caps. It's an actual word in (Brazilian) Portuguese, and a borrowing from English "goal": it means a scoring strike in soccer (as well as the net the ball should strike), so it's a great marketing name in a soccer-crazed country like Brazil.

[@miniena7774]

Goytá F. Villela Jr. My God you’re arrogant.

[@goytabr]

Greg Caesar, my God, here's another troll, one of those people who aren't happy when they're not being rude and unpleasant to others - especially complete strangers from a safe Internet distance...

[@miniena7774]

Goytá F. Villela Jr. Here we go again with he introspective nonsense that - mind you - itself is rather pathetic.

[@Parker-hy6ux]

Nice job! but, could do without that music at the start.

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks! I think it’s pretty dope, but I appreciate the feedback

[@hectorcruz127]

Hey q do you plan on doing overseas carriers in the future?

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah, I’ve got a surprise coming in July/August. Hint: In my Delta video from SEA-ANC, I said one day I would fly them [in first class]!

But my aunt said it safe.

I learn it's the best safe airline to fly.

awesome I'm using that when I fly next week!!

Great report....I've been wondering what's up with all US airlines offering Biscoff cookies on some flights exclusively? For some reason I don't like them. :(

[@QFSAviation]

Thanks! Wow are you crazy... BISCOFF IS DELICIOUS lol

Haha...I must be crazy. Last time I flew on JetBlue and they had Cheez-its...I was in heaven lol. Again great report!

What a poor junk service (!), everything served in plastic, some peanuts and chips, tomato juice with tons of ice cubes - that's really amazing. That's the American way of travelling - 'America first' !

[@QFSAviation]

Yeah agreed. The ice cubes are always fun though because you can chew on them while staring out the window dozing off 😂

[@ecoRfan]

As an American citizen yeah, our airlines could do better. Actually all of transportation could be a lot better.
