@@Airplanes.24.7 That's great. Make the most of it too as it's practically on borrowed time. My final flight on B747-400 was from Miami to Heathrow on British Airways in September 2019. So glad I did. Little was the worse to come a year later early retirement as planned
@@rajnirvan3336 That’s impeccable timing. Luckily if you’re a Oneworld flyer you’ll still be able to catch quadjets when crossing the Atlantic for the foreseeable future. British Airways seems keen to keep their A380s around for at least a few more years. Flew one upper deck this past summer and it was a fantastic experience, first time on a 380 that too ✈️
@@Airplanes.24.7 Yeah BA I haven't used since. But maybe later who knows coz they still have their A380s for a while. 2019 was my last quad jet flight flew into Los Angeles with A380 sat upstairsin Premium Economy. MY 1st time on A380 was in 2015 coming back from LA. Since 2022 been on twin engine. Has pleasure of flying on B787-9 in 2022 to Heathrow to Angeles and back from Las Vegas, A350-1000 in 2023 to JFK return from Orlando. And this year returned from Tampa on A330 900 NEO. Although was supposed to fly into Tampa on A330 900 NEO from London but changed to A330 300. All with Virgin Atlantic. Great aircrafts too. My favourite was A330 900 NEO
@@rajnirvan3336 A330neo over A35K? Love the A350 so that’s quite the opinion, though it does get me more excited for the first time I’ll hop on an A330neo, whenever that may be. Probably next time I choose Delta/Virgin to cross the Atlantic 🌎 Have chosen Lufthansa past few times to fly the 744/748/A346/A388 as much as I can before they all retire!

Lovely video! The 747 is just an absolutely stunning aircraft I’m sure everyone would agree!! Keep up the great content! Just got yourself a new sub and like here :)
@@wingclipsmedia Thank you! It was indeed the pinnacle and still remains the crown jewel of American engineering 💎 A true marvel to experience both from the inside and outside
A beautiful video. The take-off must have looked and felt a lot different from the upper deck. And you back-taxied down a portion of a runway - I don't think I've ever seen that done at LAX. Thanks for posting!
@@ptcla Thank you! It was indeed a very unique experience and I’m very grateful I was able to relay that feeling to you as best I could through a screen. I’ve got a big trip coming up in December… 4(!!) Lufthansa long haul flights (A330s, A340s, 747s) in and out of Frankfurt, so make sure to subscribe for more! ✈️
@@chrisrivera9763 That’s awesome! I just checked out his video and you are correct, you can see our plane on the tarmac while his takes off. Great video by him, though I do have to say our pilot definitely outdid himself (and @fllspotter ‘s pilot) with regards to pushing forward those thrust levers and pulling back on that yoke to obtain an exhilarating rate of climb 😉
@@nipafilms236 It was indeed the most intense lightning I’ve experienced. Usually when encountered mid-flight, pilots can navigate around adverse weather. On this occasion we had to take off right into the eye of the storm. An exhilarating takeoff and climb no doubt. Thanks for watching!
@@marklee1462 😂. Good thought but that was out of the captain’s control, it was the departure vectors given to him by air traffic control who’s responsible for managing Southern California air traffic. We ended up taking a series of left turns and crossing the coast in the reverse direction over Seal Beach with a northeast heading bound for Britain. Thanks for watching!
Technically yes, but the direction we taxied was on runway 6R (the rightmost of two runways with a heading of 60). 6R and 24L are the same strip of land and each code only differentiates the direction. In this case we taxied towards the city (6R) and took off out towards the Pacific ocean (24L). Thanks for watching!
