Air New Zealand 777-319ER Los Angeles - Heathrow Part 1

[MrBigyellowbus]

Love this video. Apealling to all senses. Including taste.

[cjpatz]

looks like you caught a Southwestern Airlines 737 in flight..

[MrWheretonow]

Wow.. like you said: "music to my ears"! Love those tiple 7's GE sound! Air NZ is the best! Congrats! GREAT VIDEO!

[anthonyamoise]

Great vid as ALWAYS.....look at how clean all the wing parts look. Long haul flights are fun...get some great views.

[MrTyszek]

Beautiful video!

[Kassowar65]

Yes. Oh my godness , that was the vid i was searching for. Great, nothing to ad. Superb video work mate. I am flying to my family in Geelong soon booked on Emirates. The whole flight takes me on one and the same plane from Frankfurt al the way down to Melbourne : 777-300ER How was your flight ? Quite and smooth or bumpy ?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Kassowar65 Thank you! The 777 is generally a smooth Aircraft, it handles turbulence fantastically it really does. It's perfect size cabin, loads of room, has the 2 most epic Engines. Emirates IFE is amazing apparently so that will be good! I think you'll enjoy it!

[TheYay1995]

do they give you a amenity kit in economy class ?and how did you get the extra blanket and pillow for economy sky couch, they gave it to you at the boarding gate or inside the plane or at check in??

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheYay1995 There's a blanket and pillow on the seat, there is 2 big pillows and proper duvet in the over head compartment. I was travelling with my mum so didn't lay down or anything just put our legs out. To me on these 12 hour flights it's worth it! Nice to be able to move around and get some great Window seat options! I don't like how ANZ don't have online Check-in and they just seat you wherever there is room. If you upgrade you get a bigger range of places to sit, depends on number paxs.

[TheYay1995]

@HeathrowSpottingHD yeah im flying only with my dad,next sunday and i will vedio tape my trip and post it on youtube,hope i will get upgraded,what i meant by the amenity kit is that do they have that thing or pouch that they have socks and toothpast and earplugs and ect.. in it?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheYay1995 Awesome have a great flight! You get headphones but that's all sadly enough! Sill their service and Aircraft make up for it.

[18june29]

It looks like a really early morning flight?

[jliossatos]

Nice job in filming !

The camera was very steady !

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@jliossatos Cheers!

[LudeSpeed77]

could be wrong here but if im not mistaking my parents were on that air france plane to amsterdam pretty much the same time u departed.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@LudeSpeed77 The AF was bound for CDG (France) KLM Fly to Amsterdam from LAX though!

[TheYay1995]

the jet way you boarded the plane on looks weard>>> is it like a hallway you walk for a bit then enter the jetway?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheYay1995 Yeah there is no seating next to that Stand, you board a bit further down and walk down then the jetway is there. 

[steve29112]

Youve flown with virgin as well havent you :) 10+++

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@steve29112 Yeah, Air New Zealand were 10x better without a doubt. When I come back to the UK next will be flying with them again for sure.

[Ozinater]

Great video! I was a little puzzled on my first 777 flight in December. It was a BA flight, YYZ-LHR, on a 772 with GE90s. When engine 1 started there was this loud, intense buzz and vibration. Now I know its normal on GE powered 777s! ;)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Ozinater Yeah that's how the GE's roll! It's weird flying on a Aircraft with Trents or something after as you expect a loud buzz but you never get it! I love the GE90's!

[wisnu1231]

were you on a holiday to london or going home to london?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@wisnu1231 Going home to visit and some Family business.

[CUGS2009]

It would have been nice to see something of the cabin, the inflight entertainment system, the food, the staff on board etc etc instead of the same window shot the entire time.

[TheYay1995]

what was that buzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz­zz sound on 5:00

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheYay1995 The best sound on this earth, a GE90-115B engine start!

[0KateGabe0]

I hope your electronic device didn't interfere with aircraft systems... xP

[worldtraveller85]

great video im going to london in sept

[PREZILLA2009]

I didnt know you can film inside the plane. anytime when I go in the plane I would always hear people say to not use any electronic devices. or maybe I just missed understood.

[882Eddie]

777 the Best!

[threalMrT76]

Awesome footage, dude! something about big jets that get me going.

been on Air NZ from AKL-YVR, and that was only in a 777-200, Nice to hear that the 300 is just as quiet. although I do miss the roar of the good ol' DC10s!! :-)

[awaqas006]

Love ur work.

[wolfman958]

wat country ue from ??

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@wolfman958 I was born and raised in England. I'm half English half Indian. British Citizen etc. I have a US Visa which enables me to Live over here in the States.

[wolfman958]

@HeathrowSpottingHD well dd u lyk da flight ??

[QwertyAzerty2009]

@HeathrowSpottingHD

OMG me too. (the half and half part)

[mbaustinful]

@HeathrowSpottingHD funny, you took a plane from new zealand to go from US to UK, it wouldn't be easier take a AA or BA flight?

P.S- nothing against, but made more sense, although

Air New Zealand must be magnificent

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@mbaustinful How would that make sense if I don't fly BA or someone? BA I wouldn't because prices are stupidly high for Economy. Don't fly AA as I'm not a fan, Virgin were bad on the way to LA so never again. Why not fly on a new 77W to a 20 year old 747? Air New Zealand's Aircraft and service over take any of the other carriers that fly LHR-LAX-LHR I.e why they won Airline of the year! It's not like I flew to Auckland to get to London ha.

[mbaustinful]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Now I understand the reasons, too bad when I board one of those planes, they will be old like the BA's ones

thanks for sharing you're experience with us, compliments for 17 year old brazilian boy who is mad about the "British Empire" ( I mean UK, Australia, New Zealand and India too, do not be offended.

P.S- my english is good, but I always make "little" mistakes, and I like USA also

[wisnu1231]

@HeathrowSpottingHD what is 77W? is it 777-300ER or what?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@wisnu1231 B77W Is the ICAO Code for the B777-300ER generally used for shortening and on the Flight Plan. The Non ER is B773, the B777-200/ER is B772 and B777-200LR/F B77L/F. Hope this helps!

[risewiththelive1]

Amazing filming! 777s are amazing:)

[GulfstreamG550]

Amazing video! can't wait to fly one a 77W one day!

[TheLeeqeend]

faved

[aLigaTor107]

nice video with good weather. Thanks for uploading:)

[Dom737800]

Nice one mate I love the 777's

[AGFSXMD90]

good bro

[cobra11fahrer]

very nice video

[huzayfahLOL]

That is music to my ears LOL

[watch057]

@HeathrowSpottingHD

Wonderful video, the engine startup Is music to my ears too!

[TheNZNOMIS]

How do you get away with filming when your not supposed to??

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheNZNOMIS I filmed while speaking to a Flight Attendant. Some Airlines don't care these days. Doesn't effect flying one tiny bit!

[vzclubbie]

HOLY SHIT this is a primo vid! I could almost feel every sensation lol, niiiice!

[Jonaldinho180]

I've done that flight loads of times, but only ever with British Airways, or Virgin Atlantic. This is always the worst flight for me. I hate leaving LA!

[dublinairportplanes]

how many passagers on the plane looks light because he did not use all of the runway which is werd for a 777 considerably big plane

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@dublinairportplanes It was probably a little over 3/4 full. That's because Flaps 15 was used so the V1 & V2 speeds are lower than if it was a Flap 5 Take-off which is more commonly used. Flaps 15/20 is only really used on shorter Runways with a greater TOW. At an Airport say Heathrow with an 11,000ft Runway normally Flap 5 is good. All depends on Weight and Runway length!

[LudeSpeed77]

10:42 whats that sound? the flaps are allready extended arent they?

Great vids btw ;)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@LudeSpeed77 I asked my mate who flies the 777 fleet. "The 777 has 8 pumps, 4 primary and 4 demand pumps. 2 primary and 2 demands are powered by the engine, and the other 2 primary and demands are powered electrically. The demand pumps only operate when the pressure is low on the ground. The gear takes the most power out of the hydraulics, so in big turns and whenever the Main gear steering is working it'll constantly as for more power, thats why you can hear them going on and off"

[stevop21]

Listen to those GEs start!!!!!! Absoloutly fantastic sound. Glad you had such a good flight :)

[PATANEable]

lol

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@PATANEable Hahaha omg lol lmfao. No.

[PATANEable]

@HeathrowSpottingHD escuse me but do you know the new caledonia?

[PhotographerJan]

Great video! ANZ looks great with the 77W. Must visit LAX!

[thekolamair]

GREAt VIDEO! This is why the reason i love B777 <3

[worldspottingexhibit]

Hey Luke! Great video. I was wondering what airline are you hoping to work with? Please answer & thanks! Good job. :P

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@worldspottingexhibit I'm hoping to pass training ;) Then ask me that question ha

[worldspottingexhibit]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Im sure you will with no problem! Good luck!!!!!

[DeformedWampaHD]

Hey Luke, I work for BA and i think they're gonna fly these and the 747's to LAX now!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@DeformedWampaHD I heard that the 77W could get put on the LAX route in a couple of years time! The 747s are quite old, BA are way to overpriced these days which is the bad thing!

[DeformedWampaHD]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Yeah, I know m8. BA should get some new 747's into their fleet.

[TheJaydowgg]

do yourself a favor and skip to 11:48



[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@TheJaydowgg And why is that? Most Aviation and 777 fans would want to hear the Announcements, Pushback, especially Engine start if you're a 777 fan with those GE90s. Control Checks etc. The only part I'd say skip and that's the taxi after pushback to the Take-off.

[coolharry1236]

the air new zealand safety videois SOOO funny!!! i first saw it on rude tube!! lol

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@coolharry1236 Yeah it's pretty good! Richard Simmons is a joker!

[theloganloganlogan]

why is the plane making weird sounds?? or is that normal for 777-300's?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@theloganloganlogan It's not weird sounds. It's all normal for the b777's!

[theloganloganlogan]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Oh ok. I've never flown on a 777-300 before, only 777-200...but I don't recall it making those noises. Thanks.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@superluizopolez Sony HX100V. What I use. Way better than all of them! 

[boeingnerd77]

@HeathrowSpottingHD i swear the HX100V is just a normal cam? not a video camera? could you send me a link via PM to a link of where i can get one?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@boeingnerd77 It is a normal camera. Point and shoot. Basically a cross between a Video Camera & SLR. Loads sell it, try Googling "Sony HX100V" you should get many results, try Ebay and Amazon.

[Big787man]

Nice video Luke :)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@superluizopolez All my Equipment information is Located on my Channel!

[zeez88]

Love the 777 Start up!

[airlinepilotdude]

LOL 5:00! "That's music to my ears."

[klc317]

Was that richard simmons on the safety video?  Lol

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@klc317 Yeah haha!

[VIR092]

Looks like a good one there Luke! Pretty bird...

[james737]

And how about the 77W compare to 744 and 346?

[james737]

How does the service and comfort in economy class on NZ compare with BA/VS/AA/UA on the LAX-LHR route?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@james737 Air New Zealand rips them all to pieces! Their new IFE is so good, USB Ports, AC Power. Comfort is top even for Economy! The 77W beats the A340-600 & B747-400 by a long shot. Flew the A340-600 out to LA and it was one of the worst Flights. All of BA's b744's are horrid inside, AA has a bad right up overal. United are Second best in my book! I like there new cabin though. Service, Comfort, Aircraft.. Air New Zealand wins hands down.

[TheAbds2000]

amazing, probably one of the best vids ive seen

[ArmandoHerFlo]

cleanest plane! LOVE AIR NEW ZEALAND...

[xplanerom1]

heheh the plane is so clean

very nice video :D

also lool my channel

[airfoxtrot2006]

Brilliant video, last Saturday i caught a NZ 77W go around (taking photos wasnt on film) and i cauight it in a nice vapour.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@airfoxtrot2006 Cheers! Yeah weirdly enough I was on Flightradar24 at that time and saw it. Even weirder enough I was originally on that Flight! :(

[sasumiki]

Very good video. next to you were german people... (: they talk all the time about where they have been in the last months xD

greets from Berlin :D

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@sasumiki Yeah I thought they were German behind me wasn't to sure ha! Thanks!

[nikardem]

Great video!

[boeingnerd77]

do you know the Falp setting for T/O?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@boeingnerd77 I believe it was 15.

[rossiya110]

Lovely video! I too am doing my PPL :)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@rossiya110 Thanks! Awesome best of luck!

[rpg481]

very nice i like the B777 is one of my favorites

anyway good luck for the PPL

I want to become a pilot too but i got to do my GCSE and ALevels

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@rpg481 Yeah the 777 is my favourite! That's fantastic, best of luck for all of that!

[Polishsoldier1]

What that sound at 10:40 and turn off at 10:57 and it's again at 11:00 to 11:15 ?

[dcteck]

great video! beautiful plane, and good luck Luke.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@dcteck Thank you!

[dantorp11]

Oh my god!! Insanely epic video bro :D

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@dantorp11 Cheers mate!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@dantorp11 Cheers mate!

[rachaelmatt]

Excellent video mate! ;) Good luck at heathrow filming its been practically impossible these last few days with the fog!

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@rachaelmatt Thanks! Yep you'll see on the landing video we landed in it too.

[rachaelmatt]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Awesome cant wait! :)

[mariodebontridder]

i like the wingview of a B777

[draoi99]

Beautiful images. You have such a good camera.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@draoi99 Thank you. It's a good price for what you get!

[iloveairfrance]

The Wing Flex during Take Off roll, moments before rotation, is truly staggering !

Thanks for Sharing ! :)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@iloveairfrance It's impressive, I love it!

[Techfa]

Hey, So How is the training for the PPL?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Techfa Actually due to some Issues with my Passport Expiry date I've had to get a renwel while I'm here. Once that's complete all I need to wait on is my TSA Clearance, get my Finger Prints done back in the States for it then I'm set! So looking mid/end January to properly start :)

[Techfa]

@HeathrowSpottingHD Good Luck Dude! Hope you reach your dream as a Pilot ;-)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Techfa Thanks for the support it means a lot :) I'm going to invest in a GoProHD2 go I can stick it around the Aircraft and get some videos for you guys!

[mrcaptaincj]

@HeathrowSpottingHD So are you in flight lessons?

[AlexSupraBieber]

Brilliant video Luke, top editing

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@AlexSupraBieber Thanks a lot! Actually very simple editing here Alex ;) I don't add any contrast, CC or anything to my Flight Videos. Keep them as natural as I can!

[Gabardos]

What is the orange jet? Great video :D

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@Gabardos Southwest? I think? Taking a guess about which one your on about haha! Thanks!

[vxracing16]

Never seen a wing so clean.

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@vxracing16 Me too! On the landing when we land and the speedbrakes are retracted you'll be able to see inside the wing and how amazingly new it is! It's going to suck flying on an old Plane after this Flight haha!

[vxracing16]

How busy was the flight?

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@vxracing16 There was only a couple of seats in Economy. The section I was in with Sky Couch on the windows was all full along with the middle. Not sure on Premium and First. Probably a little over 3/4 full!

[daniroma96]

Great work Luke :)

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@daniroma96 Cheers! :)

[RDSdaEAGLE]

Great video, thank you for sharing it.

[FatherFizz]

Excellent video.

And those GE90's.. Sweet mechanical silk.

[ahmed6533]

Great Job

The aircraft looks new

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@ahmed6533 Yep.. Spanking ;)

[96ukchrispe]

@HeathrowSpottingHD are you doing any spotting at heathrow

[HeathrowSpottingHD]

@96ukchrispe Yes hoping quite a bit! Going Thursday so should be good!
