Delta 777-200LR Atlanta to Detroit

[654321825]

Oh my god, they got a whole 777 loaded for such a short flight? I never knew that many people travel that route.

[bluetoad668]

delta SUCKS

[wizzair1313]

you couldn't be in row 41 thats the back of the plane??

[coolsan]

Great video and how lucky to get the 777 in that route!

[GuyofHimLand]

They are continuing to asia. Detroit is the main gateway for asia at narita airport. Most of the long distance aircraft for delta are based in dtw.

[assasin9414]

why are they using a 777 for that short of a flight?!

[SCE2AUX]

@assasin9414 Probably continuing on to Asia.

[TheNewyork1998]

the best plane and the americans are the best on landing i dont know why for that short fly atlanta GA to Detroit with 777-200 for this short flyith :D

[TripleSe7enZ]

*Best commercial jet ever!!! My bad I'm drunk typing. But my statement still stands

[TripleSe7enZ]

The commercial jet ever. Never a fatal crash. never will be either because is the Jackpot!!!

[rampking1]

Thanks for the clarification why this aircraft was flying ATL to DTW.

Same crazy airline that uses an A-330-200 (ER) SLC to ATL everyday while using a crappy severely weight critical 767-300ER from SFO to NRT.

Don't tell Delta, but it is a fact that the A-330-200 was bought by NWA specifically for trans-Pacific routes. ( A-330-300 for trans-Atlantic)

Common sense out the window.

[surferman735]

wow tht is one BEAST aircraft. just bought it from skymarks

[nwaairlinkazo]

excellent video!



[alpena7]

i think i might go on this airplane. it mite be worth the unaccompanied minor charge

[airbus320dfw]

delta uses 777-200 atl- nrt no asia service to narita on 777 out of dtw..

[Motocrosser14]

@airbus320dfw I know they at least do Seoul... Im prety sure there are a few others too. I was just in DTW and they had more 777's than 747's parked at the gates.

[scaremenga]

That's one of the reasons I love flying Delta, and why they made such huge profits. They don't "waste" their aircraft. This -200LR flight probably took full advantage of that increased MTOW, and returned profits. It's also great that they use one widebody to serve high density and high frequency routes rather than sending a few regional jets, or outsourcing.

[CathayGuy]

I flew this plane to Hong Kong from Detroit : )

[iJakeTV]

I've flown the Delta flight from Detroit to Hong Kong. In business elite they make it feel like a 5 hour flight : )

[transdrole]

The 777 wing is a complex structure

[kenchung0708]

Why Delta use B777-200LR To fly in ATL-DTW?

[TennisChamp59]

@kenchung0708

Repositioning.

[kj762aa]

@kenchung0708 the description explains because they are basing international service from Detroit.

[NWA941]

Cool I'm flying this from LAX-ATL soon I can't wait to feel the power of those huge engines. What kind do these use GE-90s or the RR series the 900 I believe I'm not sure. Great vid.

[Deltafan311]

@NWA941 GE90's ma friend and i did the ATL-LAX flight on the 200LR with Delta you will love it man pure power and pretty quiet at cruise to

[NWA941]

@Deltafan311 Yea I took it I have the vid, and you are absolutley right power and a freat cruise check out my vid.

[Deltafan311]

[NWA941]

@Deltafan311 IT WAS GREAT.

[pilot23]

Yes we have 777 based in DTW now.

[Staggerwing777]

OooRah

[Nastafar]

Love this plane.

[2009AdamH]

i know the whole safety video of by heart :P i'm hoping to become a Flight attendant with Delta :)

[airbus320dfw]

@2009AdamH what runway was that 26 or 27?

[ITSWIN55]

very very nice video, will the detroit hub become delta's second biggest? i mean, in JFK they compete with AA so....

[TennisChamp59]

Yes, DTW is Delta's second largest hub and the main U.S. gateway to Asia.

[TSBA92]

Does Delta plan on basing any 777's in Detroit? Awesome video by the way!

[chiefnwa]

I don't know about basing them in DTW but they are sending them on routes to/from DTW. I think the summer '10 schedule Delta has the 777 on not only the PVG route but the new HKG and ICN routes from DTW.

[dtw777]

yeah ICN was a given, but I nearly crapped my pants when I found out about DTW-HKG. Though it would make sense to have some 777s based here, and it's nice to see them in my hometown again. We just need KLM to come back with theirs and then I'll be happy.

[titan123]

i work for Delta and no they will not base them there, Only at ATL

[DeltaAirlinesFlyer]

@chiefnwa Im flying the ICN to DTW route in a few weeks!

[dd4119]

@chiefnwa It may also be cheaper for them to fuel up the 777 in ATL and then send it to DTW instead of getting all the fuel in DTW if its based there.

[trainfreak7745]

@chiefnwa i think there is 1 or 2 777 based at dtw now which and 1 767 if i recall which means they have at least 1 of every wide body in there fleet based there

[trainfreak7745]

@chiefnwa they have 3 based there i think for Narita and Hong Kong

[trainfreak7745]

@TSBA92 i think there is 1 or 2 777 based at dtw now which and 1 767 if i recall which means they have at least 1 of every wide body in there fleet based there

[trainfreak7745]

@TSBA92 they have 3 based there i think for Narita and Hong Kong

[TSBA92]

@trainfreak7745 actually they have 4. One for Tokyo Haneda, Shanghai Pudong, Hong Kong Chep Lok Kok, and Beijing Capital

[carmaster366]

[trout1987]

Nice vid!!! I'll be on this flight in 30 days.....cant wait!!!!!!!

[frequentairbusflyer8]
