Yeah that's usually slightly more expensive. And take your shoes off the 50million dollar jet seats. But the thing is, for main locations like NY to Zurich, there is just virtually no advantage if any to flying a private jet and for significant distances like that it gets crazy expensive. That's a 150-200k$ flight. Unless you have multiple pilots full time employed just waiting for when you want to go, you have to book pilots weeks in advance and they are maybe 3k$ a day each. There is so much overhead in private jets that the freedom is largely an illusion. It's a gilded prison of your own making. Only for someone like Elon Musk who works many distant places and who can afford anything does it make sense and even then it's crazy wasteful, a 40 seater plane for just 1 or 2 people. If the planes had runway to runway autopilot and could really fly by themselves it would be vastly more agile. Then it could be the freedom it claims to be. You don't need the 2 expensive dead weights up front. You don't need a 40 seater bus.
As a native San Diegan and still living here, I have to say that San Diego is NOT overrated! Perfect climate year round, beaches, ocean, mountain getaways...
Great stuff! Congrats! 👏👏👏 Just one comment, if I may: That black stain on top of the left nacelle, including the aft louvers, could be hot gases leaking from the turbocharger.😳😳
I was in the uber lot at O'Hare one evening a few years ago waiting for a ping to pick someone up and enjoying watching the jets take off. There was a really long queue of jets sitting there being intespersed with the jets coming in to land right over my head. Then no more jets were landing. Then I saw all the jets in the queue slowly start to taxi past me and around to the other side of the airport. The wind direction had changed enough that they had to reverse everything. Wow.
I just watched the video after making that comment. This is the reverse of what I saw that night. If the person filming this was on the other side of the plane you would have seen the uber lot where I had been sitting. I was in the TNP delta lot and the jet took off from 28-C if you look at Google maps. This is probably way too much information.
@flapsnslats Recent trip to Barcelona Spain 🇪🇸 was on Deltas A-350-900 for my birthday 🎂. WE STAYED IN CALAFELL, SPAIN @ Le Meridien Ra Beach and Resort Hotel 🏨! A 5 star 🌟 experience!
You know it’s windy when the throttles don’t get derated for noise abatement regulations shortly after lift off..kept them at close to full throttle for the entire climb out
Hi to our Irish 🇨🇮 cousins from the Emerald Isle, have just watched your vlog, well let me say this to you I live in the city,infact 5 minutes away from were you were parked up, yes to visitors to the city like yourselves it has so much to offer,history,culture, scenery, architecture,great places to eat,and being Celtic and like myself great ale houses🍺🍺to refresh ones tonsils. And may I say this to you,there is so much to take in,you could spend a year in the City and still have only scratched the surface as there is so much to see and do and enjoy,by the way this is the home town where Sean Connery 007 was born in and brought up as a boy, and he was very proud of that fact of his heritage,also J K Rowling lives in Edinburgh the birth place of Harry Potter the boy wizard, Charles Darwin was at the medical school,Simpson gave the world pain relief by discovering Chloroform, Arthur Conan Doyle of Sherlock Holmes fame was born and brought up in Edinburgh, where he studied medicine at the University of Edinburgh medical school and became a docter, Sherlock Holmes was based on his Proffesor Joseph Bell who was one of Conon Doyles lectures at medical school. So I will depart and hope you return one day to Edinburgh to enjoy the pleasures that it has to offer,all the best to you on your travels.🏴
I've flown transatlantic on the 757 several times from Glasgow and Edinburgh. Flown transatlantic in widebodies just as much. There is absolutely no difference when in economy. Those that claim to be cramped and uncomfortable are either flying very shitty airlines or just biased. Seat width is very similar between the 757, A321 and any wide body. "OH but the single aisle leads to traffic jams during meal services and going to the toilet". - No more so than on twin aisle jets, in fact on the twin aisles you get TWO jams. One in each aisle. "Oh but, you can de-plane quicker on a widebody". - Nope 9 times out of 10, there is but one door used for getting on and off. Both aisles lead to it. Same delay as single aisle. It will be interesting to see how the A321NEO and XLR do on the transatlantic routes. Their wings are maxed out on there lift generating capacity, meaning they take foreeeeeeever to climb to cruising altitude. A guy I know told me "I've got 3200 hours on the A321. 12 of which in cruise." Of course he jests, but the A321 is not known to be a good climber. This is where the venerable 757 beats it, every time, any load, anywhere. Too bad Boeing never updated it. @ 14:12 - How thoughtful of the BA crew to turn off their taxi lights so as to not blind the passengers on your aircraft!
I never get the ocean approach... they always end up going directly over my house so I don't get to see it from above even though were close enough to see it clearly
No. It’s an Essential Air Service route. JetBlue has the contract for the next two years. The market is not big enough to support another service so it is highly unlikely another carrier enters the market or JetBlue adds direct flights to NYC.
