Southwest 737 arriving Oakland at night

[MegaAirplanelover]

Have you ever tried San Jose Airport before?

[mugshotesp]

One of the most awesome views ever! I had to do a 0 minute transfer at OAK on Southwest, we got to see the SF skyline all lit up since we were coming from SEA, so we went past the airport, 180'd, and came straight in. Not fun transfer, the view, worth a million

[ConorandEmma]

Ah night flying!!

how beautiful :)

[free2rhyme29100]

i see you travel a lot back and forth between san fran and the bay area

[555MARCUS666]

the flight attendant should say "we hoped u enjoyed ur flight, thanks for flying southwest airlines where bags fly free, and um... welcome to hell"

[Agentcapture]

There's.... something on the wing... some... thing. 

[boeing737d]

Boeing is the best. Thats for sure.

[Malteboy777]

I love flying over cities.. =) It's so peacefull and wonderfull.. hehe

Kinda romantic, like I'm watching this video right now and it's allmost 11 pm here, kinda brings a bit extra to that special feeling! =)

[BreffmintsMDV2010]

I was on a plane for 3 days once, didn't sleep for more than 1 hr, scared the whole time, turbulence like shit, too. ughhh

[sharky53198]

I love Boeing. I think they personaly make the best aircraft, ive flown on airbus, its loud, rough, and uncomterable flight. You rock Boeing!

[Magicking788]

I love flying Southwest...At night its always so quiet and so calm and usually me and my mother leave at around 6:50 so when the plane takes off I fall asleep I wake up and its madd quiet because everyone else is sleeping or relaxing its so smooth :)

[cisco2992]

you guys should listen to this song while watching this video, it gives this flight a beautiful experience..

I flew this route a few months ago, and the pilot did say we were cruising at 40,000 feet. Those 73's can really climb fast, or else the plane wouldn't have gotten down in time!

[kambridge967]

I heard the 737-300 can climb 37,000 feet in 19 minutes. so yea they do climb fast.

[Pober135]

These 737-700's will fly at 40,000. In fact, by law, the maximum altitude a 737-700 is allowed to fly at is 41,000 feet, that's the same for the -800 too.

Flying Southwest Airlines at night rocks. The only thing I wish they had was a TV.

[Southwest20011]

Night flying is awesome!!! i flew through night time many times on Southwest!!!! :-)

[cisco2992]

I love this

[mitchell104]

I love flying at night, the passengers are much more peaceful...usually.

[futurepilot87]

Wat time did u take off from San Diego?

[umahuma4]

i can almost feel my ears poping

[XA395XA]

u could also see when they turn off the landing lights entering the taxi way

[XA395XA]

its nice tht u cant even feel the descent of the aircraft...

[Theladismad]

the bright lights on the side of the plane has a cool effect. My little brother Steve: Great work? wons i was on a bowing 7 forty 7 end it was so kool. i thot i was like a pilet and i was flying to spase.

[Davidmac08]

Whether or not there is turbulence on a guided flight path approach has nothing to do with the pilots. But I do agree with you that it's a nice flight :o)

[8270361507]

Nice video. What was the total travel time??

[b7e7]

About 1:20 gate to gate, about 58 minutes flying time.

[detboy600]

what is the cruising altitude for such a short flight?

[BrothersButler]

southwest likes to fly very high to save fuel, so it could even be something 40,000 feet

[HugelyBig]

40,000 feet for an hour long flight sounds pretty... unlikely. o.0

[BrothersButler]

i know it does, but they will fly at either 36000, 38000, or 40000 feet on this flight. you can look it up.

[HugelyBig]

Hot damn..

[BrothersButler]

Really? minus 5? haha this was long ago :)

[mitchell104]

but indeed they do.

[Pober135]

All airlines like to conserve fuel. My mom's friend flies the same exact type of plane as this (Boeing 737-700), except it's for AirTran, not Southwest, and he flies usually at 40-41,000 feet to conserve fuel just like you said. The higher you fly, the more fuel you conserve because the air is thinner the higher up you get. So it's not just Southwest who climbs high to conserve fuel.

[BrothersButler]

Thanks for backing me up :)

[PilotOfNorway91]

737's are the best planes by Boeing. Fantastic video, and better camera. I could really use on of those. ;D 5* and fav.

[Setka1982]

cool cool, nite time landing are so cool, seeing all those lights

[bleachrulez111ha]

man i wish flight simulator X is as real as the real world

[elskerstine]

FSX is going to fast on app you never get the time to see the citys around airports

[beatlesfan128]

I hate when tat happen i have the same problem

[nubbie1944]

@elskerstine Unless you land correctly.

[devon2576]

man i love those big thumps when the landing gear hits the nice Tarmac/aspault/concrete

[TaylorDaPilot]

its the wheels starting to spin init

[devon2576]

yah, wheels spin

[fritoz2007]

i like flying at night and arriving at my destination in the early morning. but i also like arriving at my origin at night

[DANNYFRN]

[ERAUPRCWA]

436WN was my aircraft back in september 2006 from SEA-RNO

[JCdaOG]

lol love this video,

and the fact that the plane looks like a little toy to me ;)

[CoolOrb]

Excellent video. Nice evening scenery. Liked

the funny female flight attendant. I like to

fly Southwest Airlines occasionally. I flew

into Oakland Airport numerous times. Closest

one for me is San Jose Airport.

[hawktb9]

Awesome vid! Best seat for a night approach, and absolutely the best seat to watch all the parts work on the aircraft. Hope you had a great flight. By the way, what video camera did you use? The picture's so SHARP!!!

[b7e7]

It is a Canon PowerShot S5 IS, the full size that comes off the camera looks better!
