TRIPREPORT | Silver Airways (ECONOMY) | Saab 340B | Orlando - Fort Lauderdale

[@simply_aviation]

PLEASE READ: Like everyone else, we are very concerned about the current situation regarding the COVID-19 pandemic. We have suspended all travels until at least late-June. However, we have decided to continue to publish videos as usual because luckily, within the past twelve months, we were able to record a lot more videos than we were able to publish. This means we will publish some older Tripreports we weren't yet able to cut and upload. And we have enough of them to continue to publish three Tripreports per week for the foreseeable future! We ask for your apology for having to upload some older videos which are not necessarily up-to-date. As always, you can see when a video was recorded in the description. Thank you for your understanding. We wish everyone, especially those working in the aviation and travel industry, a lot of strength in this difficult time. Remember to wash your hands and stay safe! Greetings from Vienna, David and Felix

ok

[@steftrando]

I love this channel, bravo!

[@Traveling_Tariq]

I went to Orlando the same time u guys went and saw my back walking lol 😂. But I didn’t see you guys walking towards the Security checkpoint and it was super hot 🥵 especially in August the worst time to visit because of the heat. Anyways great trip report. And for a small airline there’s great service. Can’t wait to see more trip reports

[@TheElevatorandAirplaneFinder]

Got it. Stay safe guys

[@jesusalexanderchi1382]

😎😎😎😎✌✌✌✌

[@DeltaBravoTango]

The fact that you guys still fly Economy so often so so refreshing! I can usually only afford Economy to make reviews and go anywhere with so to see other big channels like you make economy reviews is so cool haha! Liked again

[@goytabr]

Yes, lots of people visit Orlando's theme parks, resorts and convention centers, but the main reason why it's such a busy airport is being a major base for JetBlue, Southwest, Spirit and Frontier all at once. Miami leads in international traffic, though. MIA is still the largest gateway between the U.S. and Latin America (the Miami area itself is where many U.S. companies doing business with Latin America are based, as well as the Latin American divisions of many major U.S. corporations), and it has a lot of flights to Europe, too. But FLL is growing as a reliever airport and is taking a bit from both MIA's and MCO's strengths. For example, Emirates chose FLL over MIA to operate its Dubai-Florida flights (it used to fly to MCO as well).

[@breezytheyoungin665]

Emirates still does fly from MCO-DXB

[@goytabr]

@@breezytheyoungin665 , I used the past because most Emirates routes have been cancelled due to the pandemic, I wasn't sure about this one, and one can't be sure about which routes will be kept later either.

[@nycflyertravel]

I love how they had umbrellas at the gate

[@holasoyalejandro9822]

it’s florida. it can start raining out of nowhere

[@momof1sweetgirl]

I live in Orlando and used to fly Silver to Pensacola 2x a month pre-covid19. Their new ATR-600’s are a big upgrade to the 340b+. Thanks for reviewing our little local airline!

[@tarushdhawan]

I love all of their trip reports. And on the basis of that I was able to get the best flight experience from India to USA...so lucky to be a subscriber

[@Aviation16YT]

Simply aviation is simply amazing. The camera skills and editing skills are top notch!

[@nenblom]

Just like me, this plane was born in Sweden!!I’ve always wanted to fly on it!! Thank you so much for mentioning Sweden. I really appreciate that. It means a lot to me.

[@craigwillis3372]

Our smaller domestic carrier here in Australia is called Regional Express...known as Rex airlines which only flies the Saab 340...and they are fantastic...real flying with a cup of tea and a lolly before landing ( or candy ) !! Of course SAAB used to make very good cars but sadly no longer !! Indeed a lovely flight Felix...thank you and well done as always !!

[@richardnei]

Lovely video. I really enjoy being able to watch these videos of rare airlines! Keep up the great work your both are doing on the channel!✈️

[@pilotincmnd1867]

Great video!!! Thanks for letting us ride along on the Saab with you! All the best from the west coast of Florida USA!!!

[@helenpeat3294]

Ur just trying to get his attention

[@colinhill7715]

Yesss I’ve been waiting for a good silver review

[@extremeaviation6160]

Your videos are simply amazing...they keep me entertained all the time. Stay Safe :D

[@liamhosking2947]

Hey it’s Simply Aviation! I already know I’m gonna love it. :D

[@thechez99]

I love the Saab 340! One of my favorite aircraft. So excited to see you flying on one. Whenever I fly it's usually on a Saab 340 up in Scotland with Loganair. Defo an airline to check out!

[@captainemergency7477]

I'm so early! I loved this one . Who else is just binging these to see where they can go after COVID 19?

[@DOMINICAAVIATION]

Awesome Silver report. They may be operating here soon. Would be cool to fly on them. Thanks for sharing

[@787-8]

Love the Saab 340 😍😍

[@DaBlazesUSay]

I love those SAAB 340s! Over the years, I have found out firsthand how reliable they are & how well they handle bad weather. Now, if Simply Aviation could figure out how to produce the aroma of Jet-A & diesel fumes & put that into the videos, the home experience would almost be identical to the actual one, right down to the screaming kid!

[@joshuapage2124]

MCO’s terminal looks more like a nice hotel lobby than an airport

[@brianmcdonald6519]

Or a small mall!! I have spent quite a bit of time at MCO. Used to go to FL frequently! Watching this brought back a few memories of the airport!

[@nenblom]

I have been through Orlando International Airport so, yes, I believe that it is Florida’s busiest. It was crazy!

[@boffisgd]

Nice video! Greetings from Linköping, the hometown of Saab aircraft :)

[@wompwomp8032]

Interesting. I remember for Thanksgiving, November of 2018 I was supposed to fly Silver Airways from Ft Meyers RSW to Orlando MCO then to Houston IAH. However, luckily for me United informed me a few weeks prior that Silver Airways ceased operations and so UA flew me nonstop to IAH. I was intrigued by the idea of the short flight but oh well! Thanks for the video! Absolutely love the content

[@yjyang4977]

wow that‘s a rare aircraft

[@mccoyaviation1002]

Thank you for flying on the airline I recommend guys it was a great review and a surprise especially since silver is my favorite airline

[@jst7714]

At 2:48 I said, "Continental? Or do my eyes deceive me?" My eyes did indeed deceive.

[@marthijn-7544]

Jordan Toth oh you mean the Copa airlines?

[@ScottRothsroth0616]

Continental bought Copa (hints why the livery and logo are so similar), now owned by United.

[@jst7714]

@@marthijn-7544 pretty similar, am I right?

[@marthijn-7544]

Jordan Toth yeah agree

[@Space_Man909]

It says copa

[@ice711real]

I love simply Aviation!

[@dejanjordan]

Man I love to see Azul airplanes,such colorful livery,the best.

[@AviationRailAdventures]

Great video! These are great tripreports! Hope you get to 1M subscribers soon!

[@jesusalexanderchi1382]

Love Simply Aviation 😎😎😎😎😎

[@GenkisTravels]

Great video! I did a trip report on these guys a few months back, it was so chaotic and disorganized (especially with bad weather). lol

[@Utd_YT]

Awesome trip report, Felix! Didn’t that Silver Airlines even existed! I travel very rarely so it is always a pleasure to watch your videos! Hope you stay safe and healthy during this tough time and continue editing and uploading trip reports! Greeting from Singapore, David (Ya, my name is also David)

[@Ryanc225]

Love the diversity of your videos I get to learn about small airlines just like this one.

[@captaincrazy7528]

Thanks for helping me find another short flight which i can recreate in my simulator and make a video!

[@Miftahjaya96]

super filght report my bro,,,,,,good luck for your Simply Aviation

[@franklinloo2160]

A very cute small little bottle of water. Nice small aircraft as well.

[@youngavaitor]

I have the fsx carenado saab 340 with the silver airways livery one of my fav aircraft to fly its a niiiice aircraft. I remeber in the early 2000s flying from Detroit and chicago to toledo on nwa. Made me fall in love with turboprops mom not so much

[@aviador2011]

I LOVE THIS AIRLINE ❤❤❤❤❤ AND I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

[@marrickville8509]

Your vids are great. You make it about aviation and the experience. You don’t make it about you which so many aviation bloggers do. Excellent work and keep it up.

[@user-daddyuwu]

That's a great aircraft! Silver is a very good airline!

[@VintzzeJuss]

I thought this was qfs avation! But no, it’s you! My favorite!

[@SkyHighGuys]

I love reports like this!

[@jordan_flights6685]

In times like these, it’s little airlines like Silver Airways of America or Eastern Airways of the UK, that we should be worried about. Great video nonetheless «

[@anndra-michealmacrae8059]

Loganair use Saab planes too. You'll often see them on their Glasgow/Edinburgh - Stornoway routes

[@simonbooth8236]

Another great video,did saab ever make a commercial jet aircraft ,or was it mainly military

[@venkateshmarupalli2442]

Love your videos 👍😁

[@TripReportaviation]

Nice trip report. The plane looked quite old, but it's an interesting plane to fly

[@boscafeng2731]

Because Covid 19, makes you can't film more new tripreport now. So I wish all of you can stay healthy. Love you, Simply Aviation

[@Raerofficial]

you know, Silver is phasing out the Saabs, and replacing them with ATR 42's and 72's. So you got a pretty rare flight. In fact, the specific aircraft you flew is named "One By One" and first flew for Mesaba Arilines and was registered as N443XJ before being bought by Silver in late 2012 as N343AG.

[@ChrisZoomER]

Props may be louder than jets but are amazing nonetheless. I love props!

[@mpuig7406]

Better channel than Sam Chui. Simple Aviation goes to the point, clean and precise!

[@premjitc]

Sam Chui no longer caters to the masses. He is an elite , celeb now.

[@stez-nq4hs]

@ 5:42 you can see JetBlue training Facility.

[@carlosgutomvp]

At 8'37", we can see a beautiful A330 by Azul, with a nice Brazilian flag livery. This is the PR-AIV registration.

[@thebahamiantraveller4266]

They also fly these into The Bahamas namely, Nassau and Eleuthera!

[@blind_gamer16]

I've been on Silver Airways before. I went ton their Ft. Lauderdale-Tampa route.

[@CocoBorgir]

Hey Felix! Awesome video all the way! I'll support you in every way!

[@cori189]

Love your vids! Keep safe to you and all from COVID-19!

[@multiguy2205]

Great video!

[@dim.kl.8543]

Come oooon, we want more footage from the flight!!!!!!

[@oluseyifagbemi3874]

love the great work.

[@noel12397]

Saab 340s were made in my homeland Sweden! Sadly they stopped the production :( Nice video as always!

[@lookinup22]

I loved the Saabs here in the NE U.S. as well. I've always wanted to fly on the 2000.

[@noel12397]

lookinup22 The 2000 are also good! But both the 340 and the 2000 has stopped production :(

[@MileHigh_Aviation]

Very nice! 👍

[@galadato7425]

Awesome!!!!!! Love the saab 340!

[@seanjuth]

They also fly here to Huntsville. You should come up here sometime

[@michaelhood-dowd4454]

Just out of curiosity, what is the intro music to your videos? it’s very nice

[@josedieguez8754]

Maybe because it’s a relative small airplane !! But it looks like they land pretty fast

[@Springbok295]

I thought they flew to Tallahassee too?

[@holasoyalejandro9822]

pretty sure they do

[@bostensaviationandgaming]

Very good

[@tman7209]

Wow The airport is build i. high structure cool

[@dlbrittain1976]

they fly into PNS...upgraded to the ATR42-600 now.....

[@thatpersonsmusic]

Interesting all the foghorn sounds heard at the end of the video

[@aggelouis87]

Oh that intro 🙃🙃

[@rezaalan3991]

Rare aircraft, also rare airlines (for someone who aren't living in Florida)

[@fredcherichel7040]

Fort Lauderdale... My home town!!

[@cameronclemente7773]

We all so have an small regional air line as well Aircolorado

[@anglegaming3128]

I love your vids

[@laurenhw1988]

I'm surprised the flight is that long?

[@tsporttv7467]

why Do not have trip of Regional air In tunisia "Tunisair express" ???

[@chadwillock2338]

MCO Airport is good and all but that carpet is a bummer, especially when you have to walk long distances with heavy luggage :-(

[@tonynsx]

Nice Saab 340

[@QDAWG111]

Im thinking of getting a saab for our new airline for roblox called California airlines? What do you think? Should I get it?

[@LaurenEveCreates]

Well, I flew Silver Airways from Orlando to Fort Lauderdale and took Amtrak back to Orlando with my 4 kids even though I am a widow. Signed, Kristina Buhrman.

[@deliomarciofallerpereira]

Belo voo. Com sede ninguém ficou. Água.

[@miangel02]

There's a park next to the airport runway at Fort Lauderdale Airport where I spot airplanes like that tiny one

[@brandoncisonno4545]

Silver airways is an airline I really want to try someday

[@chromebomb]

great video

[@eriktekamp1979]

Why are there no flaps at the take off??

[@leardvr]

Zero flap takeoff is typical of the Saab 340. 7° gives better ground roll numbers but decreases 2nd segment performance. We also don't land flaps full, typically only flaps 20°

[@Fm_1055]

Surprised since they're a small airline they don't operate from Orlandos other airport

[@dharamsheelasinha3728]

Tampa needs to get a tripreport

[@fabriziom]

Interesting accent from the flight attendant - I can't figure out precisely but I'd say French with a South West tone...

[@fabriziom]

@LGM I'll trust you on that one! I'm usually used to slavian accents but this one with a hint of American pronunciation in tricked me ☺

[@lookinup22]

Sounded like an Asian accent to me?

[@doreo9963]

accent is french :)

[@QuarioQuario54321]

These are though to be replaced by ATRs

[@jacobepstein4009]

Its only a 3 hr drive to ft.lauordodale from Orlando not a big deal

[@louisvnle]

You guys are amazing, I love your videos. Keep it up, guys. 👌👌

[@ZJTelectronicmusic]

Saab went bankrupt a couple years ago, didn’t know they made commercial aircrafts. They mostly made cars and small planes

[@tomstravels520]

That’s SAAB automobile. Which I believe came under the SAAB AB group which made this plane and the Gripen

[@stephenraatz2598]

Different legal entities of the same parent. One reorganized in bankrupcy while the other was fine.

[@CB0408]

I'm wondering if this flight is more cost-effective than simply driving all the way from Orland to Fort Lauderdale. It's an hour flight, plus check-in time, as compared to about to a 3h drive. Anyway, the flight seems quite full, so I'm guessing it's worth it.

[@francoiskhouri1571]

as an fll user i can tell you i would never consider flying this, unless you don’t have a car then you’re much better off driving

[@rahoolnarayanan513]

Nicee video 👍

[@Justin-eq6vd]

Do you guys fly for fun and review the airline or are you realky going on a business trip or something else

[@kaiyuwen4782]

Silver serves my home airport I think.

[@benflanagan7354]

excellent video heart maybe?
