This video is an overview of my economy class flight from the US to Russia. The main objective of such a challenging route with two layovers was to fly a new type of Boeing 737 MAX aircraft for me.
The 8MAX is a new modification of the popular aircraft, which faced two disasters immediately after entering the market. It was required to land the entire fleet of aircraft worldwide to carry out improvements. Just two years later, flights were resumed, and even then, not in all countries. S7 has two such planes in Russia, and they do not fly.
The video consists of three different flights.
1. The first flight from Los Angeles (LAX airport) to Washington (DCA airport named after Ronald Reagan) in an American Airlines plane in a Boeing 737 8 Max. Aircraft tail number: N323RM The main difference between the Boeing Max and all the planes I have flown is their silence during take-off, even if you sit at the end of the cabin.
2. The second flight was from Washington to New York (John F. Kennedy Airport, JFK) in an American Airlines A319 EOW (strange modification). The aircraft's tail number is N722US. I still don't know what the EOW mod means. I have not come across this.
3. The third flight was from New York (JFK) to Moscow (Sheremetyevo airport) on a Boeing 777-300ER of the airline Aeroflot, flight SU103. Aircraft tail number: VP-BPG This was the same license plate that I flew to the US (There is a video about this on the channel).
The video was shot almost entirely on an iPhone. Some moments were captured with DJI Pocket 2. Video edited in Final Cut
Ticket prices are shown in the video. The ticket to Aeroflot was part of a complex ticket, and it is impossible to single out the cost of this flight. All tickets were purchased separately.
The video also shows the popular In-Out-Burger observation deck at the Los Angeles airport, signs for Hollywood, Las Vegas, Victorville Airplane Graveyard (or Airplane Storage Base), downtown Washington, John F. Kennedy Airport from New York. (JFK) and landed mid-flight in Moscow at Sheremetyevo airport.
I liked the economy class meals on an Aeroflot flight from New York. It was hearty and tasty.
