It’s late on Friday and my attention span is dwindling, so I searched “airline” on YouTube for the latest uploads and came across this gem of a video trip report. It documents a journey in First Class on an Emirates Airbus A380 from Bangkok to Hong Kong. I didn’t really need to see the guy…

Video of my takeoff from Sydney today
It was a stunning day in Sydney today. I’m fighting jet lag, but did manage to upload the video of my takeoff from Sydney today onboard United Airlines flight 840 to Los Angeles (yes… yes… I know… my electronic device was on and it shouldn’t have been). I was supposed to be on yesterday’s flight,…
Video Tour Inside United’s First Boeing 787
Here’s a very thorough video tour inside the first United Airlines Boeing 787 that rolled out of the paint shop this week. Kudos to the videographer for a great tour!
Cathay Pacific’s comfy looking Premium Economy cabin
In case you haven’t seen the latest video Cathay Pacific added to their YouTube channel, here it is. Cathay Pacific’s Alex McGowan takes you on a tour of the new Premium Economy cabin on what I think is an Airbus A330 given the 2-3-2 configuration (and overhead bin style). The PE seat maps on their…
‘Departure Date’ short flick filmed on the Virgin trio of airlines
If you haven’t already heard about the short narrative film shot onboard the Virgin group of airlines, here’s the trailer (below) that includes an interesting behind the scenes segment. It’s a pretty neat idea and I’ll definitely watch it simply because it’s filmed onboard aircraft, though I believe it’ll be exclusive and only available on…
My “run-in” with two Federal Air Marshals last week…
I’m freshly back from my first ride on an A380 and had a great time – trip report is forthcoming. My quick weekend adventure began with a flight on United’s premium service from Los Angeles to JFK and as I’ve been doing since taking big international trips, I film my journey from start to end…
Cool American Airlines video about aircraft de-icing
American Airlines posted a pretty darn cool video on YouTube this week. It’s a part of their “Behind the Scenes” series and the new one explains and shows the de-icing process in action.
Video tour of Cathay Pacific’s San Francisco Airport lounge
Cathay Pacific recently posted a video tour of their new First and Business Class lounge at San Francisco International Airport and it’s a pretty darn good one. The only thing I’ll miss about the British Airways Terraces lounge they used to use is the “back door” boarding directly from the lounge for gate A6. A…
Hilarious “Hitler’s Rage” video about United Airlines’ MileagePlus changes
One of my good friends sent me a link to a gut-busting version of the “Hitler’s Rage” video showing how “Hitler” reacts to the 2012 United Airlines MileagePlus program changes. If you understand German it might not be that funny, but the captions are brilliantly written and perfectly timed for a highly entertaining four minutes.…
Video: Tribute to United Airlines’ Oakland maintenance base (and DC-10s)
In follow-up to my post this morning about United Airlines seemingly discontinuing service to Oakland this June, here’s a video photo tribute of DC-10s and 747s as seen at the OAK heavy maintenance base back in the 1990s.
