I hope to fly from Catania to Palermo. Unbelievable. On most European airlines you only get water and a teeny chocolate or low quality biscuit. ITA is one of the few who give a beverage.

I know, in fact they served an entire meal in just 2 hours of flight. Very good

Wow, this trip report was truly captivating! It felt like I was right there with you throughout the entire journey! Great video mate ;)

You are doing a great job. Keep up the good work. It is hard nowadays to build up a large number of subscribers in new aviation vlogs so don't get discouraged. Thank you for the work you put into this video.

[@myflight]

I thank you and everyone who enjoys my aviation content. There will be many more trip reports in the future. This is just the beginning!!

We're doing Naples to Istanbul in June in Economy on Turkish. Looks good!!

Turkish Airlines is one of the beast company for short-haul flights

[@OnePrussianReich]

Can I ask what have you used to record the video? Keep up the amazing work!

[@myflight]

Hi, sorry for the delay. To record videos I use my personal mobile phone: an iPhone XR. I have to say that even though the phone is old, the shots come out very well

[@OnePrussianReich]

@@myflight Ok! Thanks!

[@learjet55c]

the captain is dumping fuel? please explain in which minute you are referring that

[@myflight]

10:28

[@learjet55c]

@@myflight it´s not fuel. It is just condensation due to high humidity and pressure gradient. The reduction in pressure and temperature across each vortex can cause water to condense, producing a thin line of water droplets that looks just like a contrail. This effect is more common on humid days so wingtip vortices can sometimes be seen behind the wing flaps of airliners during takeoff and landing.

Tanks for suggestions

Min 10:24 (Just meters away from the runmay) "The captain is dumping the fuels because we are too heavy". Are we talking about the first ever 737 with jettison valve? I see your channel is starting. Really enjoyed the rest of the video, but then I read this... and got disappointed. Hope this helps you to improve.

[@myflight]

Tanks for suggestions but in the min 10:28 you can se the wake of fuel

[@periodistademotor]

What you see is condensation, not fuel. Under no circumstance fuel jettison would be allowed on the runway. Fuel dumping must receive atc clearance and it has alttitude requirements, normally in designated areas (preferably over sea and never over populated areas, with minimum alttitude and speed required). Anyway, only longhaul airplanes are equipped with fuel jettison valves, no 737's or 320's can dump fuel because there is no way to do it, even if the captain wants to do it. Those planes rarely exceed the Maximum Landing Weight, but their only option is to burn fuel or an overweight landing. You've got plenty of information about fuel jettison around internet. As I said in my previous comment, I see that you channel is starting and I can see that your aviation passion is as well. Nothing worng about this, but I highly recommend you to investigate more about aviation to make your channel more complete and accurate. As I sais, I hope this helps you to keep improving.

[@myflight]

Thank you very much for these suggestions, I will take them into consideration to improve next time
