TRIPREPORT | Delta (ECONOMY) | Boeing 777-200LR | Los Angeles - Sydney

[@barrysteven5964]

What I LOVE about your channel is that you are one of the few, or maybe the only, flight reviewer who travels most of the time in economy. It really irritates me how many reviewers rarely, if ever, travel in anything but business class or the equivalent. It seems like they just fly around the world in luxury paid for by their YT profits and make videos which are pretty irrelevant to over 90% of travellers. So well done to you.

[@skyoraofficial]

So right!

[@DoorsRobloxisTheBest]

So correct. People always fly in Luxury but he always flies in economy and rarely in business sclass

[@ahockeyfan3155]

I agree that boarding passes make great souvenirs. I kept mine from my flight to and from BNA this past summer, my first flights in 15.5 years

[@holasoyalejandro9822]

dis you go on qantas flight 16 by any chance

[@marcus747400]

For a US carrier I’m quite impressed with their international service offering

[@cardiffexpress4652]

Fax, domestic is horrendous

[@jboss729]

Its the largest airline in the world.

[@WCmexico98]

US carriers do pretty well with international service. Their domestic products are meh

[@tristanhnl]

DL's product on longer domestic flights, such as those to/from Hawaii, are actually quite good. You get the same amenity kit as on this flight and similar main meal service minus the ice cream, and as many snacks and beverages you want in the rear galley. I did ATL-HNL recently on the A350, and was very impressed. Best service to/from the islands, hands down.

[@sarveshingale7949]

Most reviews on youtube are just creators flaunting...this is what I call a real review...thank you

[@javianjohnson8746]

Ahh...pre-COVID where seats were completely filled without a mask. Feels like so long ago. Great video. I can't imagine what I'd do if I had to sit in a seat for 14 long hours.

[@Andrew182]

I love watching tripreports about long haul flights operated by big planes. Simply Aviation, you make the best tripreports on KZbin. No music, great editing, great shooting, subtitles - that’s why the quality of your videos is very high. Keep up the good work 😀👍✈️

Great video , with Delta retiring its 777 fleet and the 757's and the 767's aren't to far from being retired it seems like they are slowly transitioning into becoming an all Airbus fleet.

[@alotofjobs4276]

@King Louis the trillionaire how do you know.

[@alotofjobs4276]

Ok

[@navyboijake21]

There should have been an appetizer choice. (I work for them). We’ve temporarily abandoned the service and are back to preset trays; however, the service was bistro style dining. Where the guest chose their appetizer and main course. It was served with bread and butter. Dessert was supposed to be a separate course but guests wanted to get to sleep sooner so it was incorporated into the main delivery. The biggest complaint was a lack of a pre meal beverage service.

[@simply_aviation]

Ah! That’s good to know! Thanks for the infos, JB!

[@TheBielll]

For me DL is one of the best airlines in the world! I really love the service and we can pay a good price for it. I hope to have a long haul flight again soon!

[@chait0669]

Honestly, the 777 was one of the best aircraft delta had before their retirement

[@memexpert]

COVID can be a bitch, but it especially was to aviation

[@maxsaviation9512]

I still like their A350

[@EpicThe112]

You are correct but in the case of ATL-ICN this B777-232/LR DL27🇺🇲 loses to a B777-3B5/ER KE036🇰🇷. Later in the day in South Korea the B777-3B5/ER that did KE036 will then go to CEB KE615/616 or MNL KE623/624. These two routes beat another version of the same airplane a B777-3F6/ER🇵🇭.

[@ag6371]

R.I.P to the 777-200ER and 777-200LR Luckily the 777-300ER is still around

[@GarlandTexasSpotter2024]

The 777-200LR is actually still flying, Air India, Emirates, Ethiopian, are a few examples

[@EpicThe112]

Only applicable to the United States where you have the B777-323ERand B777-322/ER in operation. For 200lr fans in the United States if you want one you might as well cross the northern border into Canada where it's still used.

[@samdovels1234]

UA have 10-abreast seats on their 777, while Delta have 9.

[@rustyabramson2663]

Whenever Australia decides to open up to the world again, it's going to be a Delta A350 or a Qantas 787 for me (or maybe Hawaiian when they get their Dreamliners!). I never got to fly the Delta 777, looks like I missed a great experience!

Amazing again! I have a question concerning turbulence: you guys fly so much that I'm sure you've experienced turbulence multiple times. I'm terrified of it, to a point where I get anxious weeks before my flight. I was wondering how you felt about turbulence, how you cope with it, what your habits are during turbulence?

[@someoneinthegalaxy5267]

Planes can withstand so much turbulence that you have no reason to be afraid lol

[@simply_aviation]

I always imagine it like going over a bumpy road…nothing to worry about…

[@pr1c1se]

@@simply_aviation So you're super chill during turbulence then? :o I sometimes see people laughing like it's nothing that's so crazy to me :'(

[@irisroeleven]

It scares me a bit as well, but on my last flights I just looked outside the window, the view above the clouds can be beautiful and is a great distraction to me :) by the way, if you have the chance to choose your own seat, go for one around the wings. And last but not least, try to keep in mind that turbulence is not dangerous.
