Trip Report: Delta Air Lines (Boeing 757-200/Boeing 737-800) ATL - PHX 

It almost sounds like the Green Line Trains in Boston MA when it starts up and it stops as well. I find it interesting.

I had a great experience with Delta Airlines back in November 2017. I hadn't flown on commercial planes in over 35 years. I went from South Bend, IN to Phoenix with connections both ways. Everything went as scheduled, had a wonderful time.

Thanks for this video. You did one of the best jobs of navigating ATL. You kept your camera up when you were walking so we could see and it has really helped me for my first time flying through ATL.

Woah...I'm exhausted just watching this! Thx for sharing.

On that second plane, I like how well they kept you updated with the hydraulic problem they were having. It sounded like the updates were very thorough and detailed.

This was the best atl trip report vid

Love this video, PHX is the best airport in the world. thanks for posting!

Good luck 👍 traveling

I loved this video! I love how there is not many cuts and it focused on you whole trip. Simply fantastic

Thank you for sharing your experience so well.

5:22 Wow! You parked next to the Elevator! How lucky and comforting! I did that one time in North Springs, and parked on the 5th floor (I wanted to park on the rooftop of the garage, but it’s more comfortable for my car to be covered). I see why you went to Sandy Springs instead of North Springs: the long term parking at Sandy Springs ($5) is much cheaper than at North Springs ($8)

Yes, the airport ftom Atlanta to Phoenix is so cool.

Great video! Phoenix Sky Harbor is my home airport, but I have been through Atlanta countless times on Delta.

I'm currently a resident in Atlanta , and in a couple months I will be flying to MSY Airport ( New Orleans ) I Can't Wait Until The Time Come. It won't be my first time flying , In fact it will be my 6th time ...most of my flights were traveling Fron LGA LaGuardia Airport (NYC ) to Atl (as we all know as Atlanta. ✈️✈️😌😌

I'm going to Phoenix for spring break and I'm very excited. I live in Illinois and I know it will be far, but I just love plane rides

I remembered flying on my own from Atlanta to Houston via Delta. I started off at where I stay at for college. I ride MARTA from Medical Center to the Airport. When I got in, I do the usual stuff (check in and checkpoint). I go through the cave from concourse T to B. I arrived at B20 and took off. The flight was less than 2 hours and the clock went back an hour. I arrived at Houston at sunset. My mother picked me up (she drove with my dad and brother and I had to stay longer at home to work).

I'm heading 2 Las Vegas in 2022

6 years ago I went 2 Las Vegas

Can't believe I watched the whole thing! Nice video

If I had to be stuck in any airport ATL is the best to be stuck in. The place is massive. I spent my layover watching widebodies at E&F.

I remember that I flew from Atlanta to San Diego via Phoenix Az on America West Airlines Airbus A320 in July of 2001.

Such a Great Video Eric !!!

I love Delta Airlines

Your ordeal at Atlanta airport along with the aircraft technical problems just clarifies the notion if air travel in US doesn't improve over next 5-10 year demand for high-speed rail and other transportation alternatives will only get bigger.

I don’t know why but the Plane Train’s voice is so satisfying to hear.

Love this...I've been through Atlanta many times. And the only Starbucks (that I remember) is in Concourse C :) I've been to that one.

I LOVE YOUR VIDEO. Amazing. ATL airport is Delta International Airport rs. Hugs from Brasil.

Awesome video, Eric!

The train makes the same sound as the one in Orlando. Very nicely done. I’m sure at some point, you did or will do a trip to Orlando.

Well I would be happy the captain wanted to make sure things were right before taking off.

Woah I’m exhausted watching this whole process of arriving at the subway and going to the airport and missing the flight!

Well done! I had a flight out of C29, I've seen that elevator before, believe it requires key. MARTA voice sounds like sunrail voice

Great Video Eric,I enjoyed it,well done.

I was in Atlanta in January and my flight left from the T gates. the closest Starbucks was in the F gates. it took me an hour to get a coffee because I was misdirected.

4 years ago, I flew from Chicago Midway to Atlanta to connect to Orlando to see my grandparents for the Daytona 500 Rolex. When I got back home, I flew from Orlando to Atlanta to connect to Chicago Midway. Did you know that American Airlines, Allegiant Air, and Delta retired the McDonnell Douglas MD's

Dude that must be so nice to have the whole plane train to yourself !!

Angela: *does angry smile* I did not get on a buddy pass system. I went non-stop with my friends and even Matthew's entire church. Oh, and on the Northbound and Southbound tracks are 2 material handling cars for TVCTA's Masonry Program. Love the switchers! And the airport bound train is lead by CTC-1A 1752 and trailed by AEM-7 644. Talk about the electrified line.

I’ve been on a Marta train on the way back from Mercedes Benz stadium to Lindbergh station

Awesome journey my man!! Sucks you got stuck in ATL for most of it.

That train that you saw while approaching LA is actually a Metrolink train

Yeah the captain made sure the things were right on our plane on Southwest Airlines and they were right before our plane to Austin took off for Southwest Airlines...The flight to Austin departs out of gate C14?True... sure...

I've went 2 Las Vegas only once

I like watching your trip reports everyday when I have my PBJ (Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich) for lunch. Keep up the great work dude!

Despite your delays , it was great to fly with you.Jeff.

I really hope this didn't change ur opinion on Delta. Their a great airline but this just shows that u must have status with an airline or else you'll be screwed

Nice video! As a former flight attendant of 17 years, I can relate to that delayed LAX flight going back and forth to the gate! LA and Denver always seemed to be cursed with delays for me. Glad you got to see what pass riding is all about!

Watching this from barbados love it

I can't wait on May 6, 2019 Atlanta to Phoenix then Phoenix to Bakersfield, CA for I'm going hiking on Pacific Crest Trail

i watchd the whole video :) loved it!!

Dude, the trains don't start until 5 in the morning. To be precise, the first southbound train on weekdays is at 4:53 AM. On Saturdays and Sundays, 6:03 AM. Fun video.

Great video. What an ordeal. Did you ever post the return trip? I can't find it. Thanks.

Crazy flight

I first flew through ATL in Eastern back in 1982 from New York then to Fort Myers FL when I was a kid. It was only half as big as it is now and there were only concourses A B C And D

rofl guess marta has yet to remove airtran off the announcement ive been on southwest that oil started running out of the back of the engine making a decent sized spill i called the flight attendant to get the captain to look at it causing a 5 hour delay while they shipped out an oil pump from dallas to fix our plane

That takeoff from Atlanta must have been very loud! I remember last year I flew American from Las Vegas to Chicago and it was just like that.

Woah the LAX landing was very bumpy!

Those are just like our DC trains!

I really enjoyed your video it was very good. I was wondering how long it took to edit all this

wow. almost a whole day wasted trying to a get seat then impacted by flight delays . hopefully this is a one off. if this happened frequently,I would lose my mind . good trip report btw

my favorite part of ALT is the plane train :)

I've been to Phoenix, Arizona a couple of times.

I bet you were glad to get to bed when you got to Phoenix? Good flight I gave u a thumbs up. don't worry about the window I bet you were more concentrated on Phoenix.

1:20:53 the abbreviation for Mountain Daylight Time is MDT and 1:30:17 Mountain Daylight Time is 2 hours behind Eastern Daylight Time.

I have the exact same watch!

😎 video

You were lucky with your flight :D First two were full, your LAX flight was late and then they had problems with the hydraulics :D That never happened to me before... Luckily

You had bad luck of traveling that day! Lol

In exactly 2 weeks I’m flying to Arizona!!!

That elevator at C30 probably goes to the tarmac.

Delays can be annoying. But at least the captain kept the passengers informed.

i wached about half of it , but then i fell asleep

Anyore of these? this and the return are awesome

The plane train voice announcer has been on the news before I forgot her name.

Wish I could come 2 Atlanta 2 visit u.... I hope u come 2 Singapore too.

Also The reason why you were waiting so long for the train at a time that early is because . Marta does not run 24/7 like NYC transit . The last train arrives at 2:09 pm and I believe that the first train of the morning arrives around 5:30 am .

it was very enjoyable..!

Traveling from MKE to ATL, Then ATL to ORD, back same way. GRB ( Green Bay ) my airport is well, expensive. Both are delta. One is a 757, if I'm right.

I love the airport bound trains by MARTA

The ailerons which makes the plane bank left and right, the elevator which makes the plane pitch up and down, the rudder which is how planes move while taxiing, the landing gear, and the flaps depend on 3 hydraulic systems. When one fails part of the controls won't work. With all 3 of them out, the plane will most likely crash. The only way the plane can be controlled at this point is engines only. Out of many 3 hydraulic failures 1 plane has landed safely. One made to the runway and choked it up on landing. The plane can survive with 1 hydraulic system gone, maybe 2, but not 3.

True... Yeah... Sure..

@38:24 is actually a CRJ900 not 700

I like the music in the train station.

At an airport that busy, I would recommend arriving at the gate 1 hour before your flight to avoid delays

Please do more trips soon!

Hey, can you send the link of the Marta train? I’d love to know how to book it!

How atl is designed is there is 2 main buildings,and the 5 other terminals are isolated.if you take the plane train,it stops at each terminal,so you can really take any train

The double smoked bacon chedder and egg sandwich is my favorite.

I’m flying out of Atlanta this weekend. Hope I don’t have to go through what you did.

Sometimes the plane train to concourse before we went to concourse C after they said please stop at B gates we took the plane train to concourse C in the last plane train to concourse C I think I had the last plane train car to my self while we were on the way to concourse C... Yeah

Enjoyed watching your video. Being from AZ. Did you get to explore more of PHX. The skytrain is awesome! If I may ask, which program did you use to edit your video? Thanks!

Intro updated

Why would you get a buddy pass? Did you have a late flight going into Pheonix or was it too much money?

the tall buildings are Century City and Westwood

At the 59:18 mark, that is actually a Metrolink train headed towards Riverside

23:17 the plane train in the atlanta airport is computerized. the doors on the train seemed to not quite be perfectly aligned with the second set of doors (by like 2 cm lol) and so it had to align itself for a second before the computer could give the ok to leave the B concourse. idk if that's really true but it's just my educated guess :P

I feel so bad for you, wow you had a long day!

I saw video about elevator 6:51 and the plane train 14:39 same time wow that's cool

What editing software did you use to make this video? It’s great!

Wow! Your flight is full. You couldn't get a seat. You bump it off 2 flights for ATL-PHX flight. You could struck at airports all day long.

Great video did you ever make a return trip?
