My wife and I took this triple-7 ✈flight 20 years ago on the way to Thailand to celebrate our 40th anniversary. We stayed in Hong Kong, lay-over of a week and explored that great city. During the trip over the pole the cabin crew looked after us very well in our celebrations. Spent a month with son and family who were working in education in another great city of the world, Bangkok. After the month's family visit we returned to Canada via Air canada, over the same polar route, but again interrupting it with another week in Hong Kong. This video shows it all that we saw and experienced...ah...memories....✈✈✈
Canada been banned from Russian airspace because of the Ukraine war. I always prefer the over the ocean route because I consider it a bit safer in case of a forced landing.
In briefing on the route and mentioning 'just south of the pole', it immediately hit me that everywhere (2 dimensionally speaking) not at the pole is south of the pole. Simple yet mind blowing, LOL!!
24:24 , I could have sworn a plane was going to land right on that other AC that had turned in front of you! lol :O 59:00 , really cool seeing the glaciers! Smooth landing, thanks for the trip! :)
Really nice video. I love the tech details of what goes on in the front office. Ive done the polar route several times from BOS and YYZ pre-covid to PVG and HKG as a passenger. Sooo smooth at 89 North up and over from the Arctic circle and back down to the other side. Im fortunate to do the cubicles and I would sleep for 8 or 9 hours straight. Hats off to you guys.
I flew that exact route as a passenger in 2014, weather was clear over Siberia and and Mongolia. It was eerie to see that part of Russia, endless gas fields. Mongolia was a bleak desert. 17 hour flight in economy class due to delayed departure.
Holy crap at 24:30 I had to play it back, it looked to me like the plane in front of you pulled onto the runway, and then a plane immediately landed. I didn’t see the very subtle edit for time.
Interesting they are using both metric and imperial measurements...ideally we would just use one and metric is much simpler...this was fasciinating...so much time is spent on navigation.
They don't fly there because of limited facilities & remoteness of that region of the world; lack of suitable airports especially for emergency diversions, lack of fuel, lack of communications stations, radar, things like that.
I took this flight AC 015 YYZ to HKG on 23rd Nov 2019, my seat was 12C in the premium economy cabin. I was lucky because after a few months, the outbreak of the global COVID pandemic causing international travel to a stop. Five years have gone.
The 777-200 is the oldest model. The 777-200LR has the longest theoretical range, with enhanced structure and fuel capacity. The 777-300/300ER has greater payload capacity and is longer. The 300ER has a wider wingspan and is equipped with the famous GE90-115B engine, while other models have different engine options. The 777-9 is wider, longer, has more payload capacity, features the new GE9X engines, and has updated avionics.
CA Rick Allen became ACs VP of flt Ops. Was famous for saying employees including pilots devalued the business class product by being allowed to sit in that cabin. No one was sad when he was retired early.
Funny you mention that, while watching this I just kinda disliked him, not sure why, just the way he didn't let the relief pilot speak at the beginning and his general demeanour reminded me of an old boss of mine that was kind of a douche.
Looking at a checklist doesn't add anything. It just makes it slow and you would probably miss more doing it. On any aircraft. Bear in mind that maintenance is doing it also, at some point in the day.
I’m confused at takeoff they’re standing behind an Air Canada company aircraft and right after eight positions all run away there is a landing on top of it. But the runway they’re taking off has no parallel runway. Can anybody explain to us

24:25 nice cut! I was shocked at first, one aircraft lined up and two seconds later the next is landing...😂
same here... :D
In Toronto we keep the pattern SUPER tight! :D
Wow. Fantastic trip / experience. Thank you
One of the best JustPlanes video with the YVR-SYD Air Canada 777-200LR one from 2009
First time watching the polar flight route. It’s amazing.

It's pretty dope !!
This video was posted on 09/08/2024. Flight date: 09/08/2011 (exactly 13 years to the day). Was it intentional?
they post it so hey can make more revenue

I miss the days of captain mueller 😘
a reupload huh, but it is one of my favourite videos of the channel. Dunno why, just a great watch
I was like "look at those old screens :D, must be an old one"
I saw this on tv in the 2000’s when I was in high school 😃🔥😎❤️🇨🇦
Learned so much from real SOP 🎉
if this was my crew every time I wouldn't hate flying ... total pros
GREAT TEAM ❤❤❤✈!!!!!!!
Like !!!!!! Really good video !!!!!!!
I almost had a heart attack at minute 24:25 😂
Back when Boeing wasn't losing parts as it flies through the sky.
History - The flight video was shot on September 18, 2011. 🙂
I was going to say... No flying through Russian airspace since their illegal invasion of Ukraine.
@@nonenowherebye don’t forget “unprovoked””. Enjoy losing money, Air Canada.
@@BeyondNarratives They never lose money. They increase ticket prices - easy peasy!
FALSE. September 6, 2011. See top right of screen @2:08

I wonder what happened to this baby. She last flew on 24 June.
Miss HK where I cannot go back .
heck of a job by the captain and first officer

nice video thanks
Surprised that you were running at only flight level 310. For such a long flight I was expecting higher.
When was this recorded, Y2K? I was excited 😅
“Air Canada 015….Good Day, Eh?”
What year was this. Loving the mullets.
sep 8, 2011. It's on the weather printout
I think captain mueller is retired and living the dream in a beautiful beach house
always high quality content
ACA 0015 flight plan, the date of flight was Sep 8, 2011.
Very interesting thank you very much good morning from Switzerland 😊😊😊
Interesting they are using both metric and imperial measurements...ideally we would just use one and metric is much simpler...this was fasciinating...so much time is spent on navigation.
Maravilloso !!!
Single sideband transmission at 85 North from Iceland was quite readable.
This may have been the first and last time Air Canada departed and arrived "on time". How much baggage went missing?
I hope they had some good Dim Sum as their first meal after the flight.
HF is long distance High Frequency radio which is used in remote places. Famous for being very noisy maybe different nowadays.
Aka shortwave radio
Brake drums?
Bro Sep 11 where tf you digged that out? :D

24:17 Air Canada lining up on the runway and seconds later KLM landing caught me off guard! I had to re-watch to realize the time jump.
It was a Korea Air aircraft actually. :)
@@JayJr. Thank you :)
toronto on time departure promptly followed by a 90min trip to deicing then cue for 30min
Flew CX HKG>YYZ recently on a magnificent A350 and it did not fly a polar route - like the “Old” CX 777s did.
3 load revisions...im sure the ground crew enjoyed that LOL
Show 👏👏👏
are there any direct flights by AC on this route? I only see YYZ-YVR-HKG
I see that flight briefing room still has CRT monitors and still running Windows XP...Man, they REALLY need to upgrade!
13 years ago
Oh, okay. I thought the video was new because it was uploaded 9 days ago.
Very cool
Is there a reason no airliner ever has flown over the south pole?
They don't fly there because of limited facilities & remoteness of that region of the world; lack of suitable airports especially for emergency diversions, lack of fuel, lack of communications stations, radar, things like that.
I would add that the Southern Hemisphere offers limited oppportunities to consider polar flights over Antarctica.
I took this flight AC 015 YYZ to HKG on 23rd Nov 2019, my seat was 12C in the premium economy cabin. I was lucky because after a few months, the outbreak of the global COVID pandemic causing international travel to a stop. Five years have gone.
We know that. 🙄

Look at the computer technology its no way this was taken recently.... Would seriously be good if you put the date of the actual flight.
Where does it say this was recent? Oh, it doesn’t. Why should it be recent? Or, are you just showing off?
@@poppyrowland1385 shhhh silence
Hope Air Canada can bring back AC 015 from YYZ - HKG this or early next year 😂

Why don't the pilots use a checklist for the pre-flight ground inspection? Seems kind of ad hoc.
Looking at a checklist doesn't add anything. It just makes it slow and you would probably miss more doing it. On any aircraft. Bear in mind that maintenance is doing it also, at some point in the day.
Was this filmed before the Ukraine War? I thought we were not allowed to fly in Russian airspace at the moment?
Way before, it is like 2011

CRT Monitor, I can't believe AC still uses them.
The video is from 2011.
Well,at least a door didn't blow off.
that is old runway 7l hkg
I am surprised they can fly above Russia
This is very old video, in 2011
2:50: No Russian airspace available anymore.
This route is no longer possible with the war in Ukraine
can't believe you fly over russia. wow!
Ha Ha.
Air Canada doesn't have modern aircraft.
This must be an old 747 plug. 😂
