I just recently did my first ultra long haul flight and never again will I take for granted the American tourists flying directly to my home city of Cape Town anymore. This is Herculean effort and I'm grateful you lot choose our country still.
That Air Force jet is called Inkwazi & is routinely used by the president - when he's on board the callsign is "South African 1" and the IL-76 flies scientists and crew to Antarctica during the summer!
Just saw this video now! I'm a united pilot i fly the 777 I don't know if this is to much to ask but you should do IAD (washington Dulles) -FRA (Frankfurt Germany) flight thats the route i fly ALOT! Maybe we can see that video soon?
@@mattsmoments2 yes, it is. The economy plus seats where finished, so booked economy. Thank you! It's my first time flying and was so worried, I wouldn't fit
I don’t mind long long flights. I get in the zone of entertainment, eating, being productive on my laptop and sleeping. Not strict with bags. Your typical policies of not heaving an overweight checked bag and then allowing two carryons. Food was ok from what I remember. 7.5/10 is my judgement for this.
