An epic day onboard the South African Airways A330 awaits as we fly from Cape Town to Johannesburg with ramp access, early boarding, a seat on the flight deck for takeoff and landing and a business class seat to sample the lunch and wine service onboard SAA. Also watch out for the go-around in front of us as we wait to line up on the runway for takeoff; and listen out for the reason behind it! This has got to be the best way to fly between Cape Town and Johannesburg at the moment - do you agree?

The service and smiles were not just for the camera. SAA staff are always like that. Nothing is ever too much for them

Hi Gabe. As a capetownian I say for all us avgeeks down here thanks so much for your behind the scenes views of saa. It's not everyday that we get to see our city from the sky and it's even rarer to see the cockpits of our planes and to hear our unique accents on atc.

I flew the SAA A330 between Cape Town and São Paulo in November 2023 - the service from the cabin crew was outstanding! South African hospitality at its best. They are true ambassadors of our country. Keep it up SAA! 🇿🇦 Thank you for taking us along with you on this and the JNB-PER journey, Gabe. Great to see the behind-the-scenes of the airline. 👌🏼

@chriscoles195 21 день назад

I grew up in Stellenbosch (just outside Cape Town) and did a PPL from Fisantekraal, frequently doing touch and go's at Cape Town. I left in 2018 to move to the UK to pursue a career flying and I'm now flying the airbus over here for a UK carrier. In all honesty though, the 15-year-old in me watches this with such a smile; the scenery, accents, ATC, the crew... it is all so brilliant. So much nostalgia seeing these great ladies and gentlemen flying the flag! keep up the great work - more SAA features please!

I'm confused, this channel should have more subscribers, all other avchannels mostly do reviews only but this here is high quality, from cockpits to behind the scenes to special flight days it has it all, heck it has the best aviation app as well lol. Even the video production, from the video editing itself to the thumbnail and caption. Truly amazing.

Love your videos. The last time I flew SAA was in 2019, with my parents, to go to my aunt's memorial. Mom just lost her dear sister. SAA didn't know this but we were treated so kindly that it was as if they knew. SAA is awesome. From check-in to arrival, we were in good hands and cared for.

As a rampy, it’s surprising that a lot of the bigger bypass engines are quieter (at idle) than the smaller ones like that of 737’s, F70, E190, etc.

@willycool123 21 день назад

Love the video Gabe! I’m wondering if you would ever be granted cockpit access in the Us or Eu? It seems like the security requirements might be different from country to country. Is that correct?

@Flightradar24DotCom 21 день назад

Yes, that's particularly the case with the US where it is flat-out impossible. Also the UK. Few other places that I know of have definitive national or regional rules about it - it's just up to the airlines. The EU has no such rules (I've done a number of EU airlines). Thanks for the support!

@IanHannah-cn8pm 20 дней назад

A330/A350 far superior aircraft to the 787 Dreamliner especially on long haul in my opinion. At least, with Airbus you don't have the cabin crew deciding for you when to blank out the windows as they doe on the Boeing 787. It's my money, I'll decide that thank you very much !

@hanostrydom3859 14 дней назад

Hey, I just want to say thanks for making the video, but you called my dad “The first officer”, he is not a first officer he is a Senior Captain. The man that was in the Captain seat was doing his first solo flight of the A330 and my dad had to monitor him, because my dad had more experience than him. So I just thought to point that out. Anyway thanks 😊

@Flightradar24DotCom 14 дней назад

Since he didn't want to be shown at all or identified in any way there's no need to identify him by his correct position and title - in fact it makes sense not to! Had he been in the video of course that would have been pointed out.

@Foxez13 10 дней назад

Solo flight?

@hanostrydom3859 10 дней назад

@@Foxez13 Yes, “Solo Flight”, the term commonly used when a person does their first flight of an airplane, but alone. However in SAA, the term is used when a pilot does his conversion on an new airplane, with someone monitoring them, just in case.
