TRIP REPORT - Southwest (737-800), St Louis to Portland (PDX)

[@gilmon43]

I’m a flight attendant and it’s possible that the pilots forgot to signal final descent to the FA’s which is why they didn’t make their landing preparations until gear down. It’s happened to me a couple of times before. Awesome trip report as always!

[@mackpines]

7:12 You literally flew right across my neighborhood in Vancouver across the river from the airport! I can't wait for the train ride! Thanks Jacob. 7:53 Downtown Vancouver.

[@mollychamber8902]

Great video, Jacob. Loved the voice over. Looking forward to the next two.

[@SamSitar]

he is very informative.

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

Nice trip report! I hope you and your family stay safe!

[@whistlingtomb3299]

I love the voice over narration keep up the great content. Have a great day and stay safe 😊

[@FranceHopper]

Glad to hear you liked our fare system, Hop. Spent a lot of time testing it ;) Looking forward to hearing your thoughts on the Doubletree since its reputation isn’t the best, but I was happy with it when we used it for Kumoricon.

[@inactivechannel7029]

Haha I love Ollie. He's cute! I can't stop laughing at 0:14 for some reason XD.

[@grand_vacation]

hahahaha now that you mentioned it

[@JmanAviation]

I think the FAA has made a new procedure before landing checks, I went on a Alaska airlines flight to the same city. Portland. And they walked through the cabin even when flaps were down, and went on the PA and said the bathrooms were locked. It was strange to me being a frequent flyer myself.

[@RobertKrebill]

Can’t wait to see the Empire Builder trip! I’ll tell you the crew bases on the Empire Builder. Portland, Spokane (engineers only), Shelby, St. Cloud, and Chicago. Can you also do a Coast Starlight video LA to Seattle? The diner crew, sleeper and coach attendants on the Seattle section are from Seattle and the cafe attendant, sleeper and coach attendants on the Portland section are from Chicago.

[@lunney007]

Cute Parrot. Nice report and yes I am looking forward to the trip home on Amtrak. I love those trip reports. If ever I do get to come over to the US one day, that is something that I want to do as well as the Canadian Rocky mountaineer.

[@bridgetraveler7700]

I really like your videos Jacob keep it up!! Please stay safe and stay healthy during this Covid-19 pandemic.

[@bradbest4418]

Double Tree by Hilton is a popular hotel.....and my fav every time I visit Portland... I stayed there about 500 times throughout the years... close to the mall and the Light rail is right there.....Portland, Oregon has one of the best transit systems in North America

[@tonyhernandez3227]

STL Ex TWA hub and Headquarter. I used to connect thru STL from Miami to Peoria, Illinois ( 1984-86) and I miss those years when STL were super busy full of TWA all day and night from the DC-9 to the 747 and L-1011 Today STL is slowly growing back to be like those days but take awhile and hopefully American Airlines will returns “ hub” at STL

[@elevatorD]

I saw the Oregon Washington

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

So glad you’re back with trip reports!

[@SamSitar]

that tsa line must be a mile long.

[@tonyhernandez3227]

Before Southwest was TWA big hub and headquarters and I miss those days. I connected thru STL from Miami on my way to Peoria, Illinois dozen of times and remember flying TWA. Southwest Airlines stills growing at STL and hopefully matched all ex TWA schedules

[@heathgroppel6621]

Nice video...southwest is my favorite airline

[@aaroncurry1084]

I really enjoy your videos. I liked all of your commentary on it as well.

[@joebrown5275]

Great video. I Really enjoy your KZbin channel. I like how you did a voice over, I think it’s a great fit for airport videos where it can get loud. I look forward to your Empire Builder video!

[@shsav2012]

LOL sounds nearly exactly like the trip I was going to do this week had it not been for CV19. The main difference was my flights were on AA. but i was going to fly Southwest from MDW to BWI

[@Thomaslob]

Great video but I loved your footage when you get to/from the airport, thats missing. Keep up the great Trip reports

[@billlightsey52]

S era dress Sgt#fgg poo

[@shellyp9141]

Aww Ollie is cute! How long have you had him? I’ve always wanted to fly Southwest but haven’t had a chance yet. I have heard nothing but positive things about them. The voiceovers are a great idea and I think you should continue your videos this way.

[@michaelsharp3615]

at 1:30 good thing i make connect flights in st louis i think they need to expand even more and occupy old concourse D TWA gates

[@EvanAviator]

Very good video. Nice and quick. Would’ve liked more airport shots, though.

[@TheElevatorChannel]

EvanAviator Thanks for the feedback. I was trying to find a good balance between speed and how thorough I wanted to be. Seems I might have leaned a little too far toward speed this time based on what I’ve heard.

[@Kashleigh23]

@@TheElevatorChannel hey sir why don’t you take your pet with you and you will be best friends and family 0:11

[@idahorailfanproductions1076]

Keep it up Jacob. I love trains so cant wait to see the empire builder!!!

[@joshuagalvan7294]

You are going to have fun in Portland Oregon I went to Portland Oregon to visit some friends in Portland Oregon and like ollie

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, awesome video as always! I love the voice over concept you did!😸😻😸

[@DLPDX757]

I am so excited that you went to Portland! I live in Portland! And the light rail is called the MAX. I have been on it. I am 8 years old and a elevatorfan.

[@amtrakharry]

As usual "excellent" video... I like your style... :):):)

[@kamaltv6048]

While I personally tend to avoid WN, I agree with your thoughts on the long-haul experience. If you play it right like you did (A group boarding in particular, a key move) - they're a very solid option.

[@Moffix05]

I love southwest. I usually fly from St. Louis to Florida and back

[@deedeehulett7848]

Could you review the inflight snack ?

[@cokecansandwinglets5783]

I did SWA on a 5 hour flight from BWI-SLC once and it looks like you had a better experience on a longer flight. If I'm being honest I felt underwhelmed and thought Delta does a better job on these longer routes. Great video and really like the voice overs!

[@kansascitysouthernfan6966]

God it feels so weird seeing so many people in one area now that the “virus” is around. These airports and airplanes are all almost completely empty it’s completely nuts!

[@carselevators930]

Stay safe stay healthy

[@shaunspeers2656]

At 9:25 you can see inside the engine? Certainly that’s not part of the reverse thrusters...or is it? Was it like that even after they turned the reverse thrusters off?

[@SouthernPennsylvaniaWX]

This was a pretty good video you got here Jacob

[@manubird2475]

PDX is a super awesome airport.

[@DLPDX757]

I recognize everything in the Portland decent and after that. You were on the red line

[@AndrewTubbiolo]

Have you ever run across Cpt Moonbeam at St Louis? He's a KZbin'er corporate pilot who flies out of the area quite often. He's a super nice guy.

[@RefrigeratedWaffles2]

What’s the music in your intro? I really like it

[@panagiotisgeorgilis4766]

When will you post part 2

[@davidharris2519]

GLAD to see WN using old TWA gates wish them the very best thru this mess

[@OrangeCoasters]

Ollie should meet yellow bird and tinkle bird

[@rafaeldiaz7870]

Is there a elevator in the airport?

[@elevatorD]

I've been on that train called the max

[@davidharris2519]

how does PDX light rail compare to STL better worse or the same

[@PNWElevatorAviation]

I live here!!

[@ryanfrisby7389]

No new video today?

[@donaldpaluga]

Hope you didn't run into Dax Pacios in Stumptown

[@thecarwashelevatorfanatic7433]

donald paluga nobody cares. And stop posting irrelevant comments! Please!

[@vdubproductions2646]

How long does it take to get from PDX to the part of Portland you were at? Never been there but I have been to Seattle and did the same exact thing with light rail from SeaTac to Downtown Seattle and it was about 30 minutes

[@TheElevatorChannel]

Vdub Productions Same, took about 30. Portland has one of the better light rail systems I’ve used.

[@michaelsharp3615]

southwest airlines transcon flights are longer than their flights from california to hawaii

[@jacksak]

Your voice sometimes reminds me of Owen Wilson. Anyway, I like your videos.

[@robertalexander8059]

I live in Oregon

[@kimchi_dudez]

Wedding and flight while corona???

[@michaelsharp3615]

fly to omaha sometime please

[@liflyer0413]

STOP ASKING ALREADY!!!

[@DLPDX757]

Southwest is my least favorite airline, but I still like this video because I live in Portland

[@horseathalt7308]

@the elevator channel Ollie is beautiful. Can he talk?

[@THEELEVATORCHANNEL234]

You know this is still not the best airline in the world

[@BrandondHasty]

5th

[@whistlingtomb3299]

No one cares

*MONDAY JUNE 15 2020 10:10 PM CDT* As I scroll down through the comments, I can see YOU.. did not reply to ANY of your loyal viewers. I'm sure your loyal viewers were bothered by it and decided to bail on you. And THAT...is pretty sad dude. Shame on you!! Pretty sad.
