- Join me onboard VH-OJU, a Qantas Boeing 747-400 on QF1360 from Sydney Airport to the 2019 Australian International, for my FIRST 747 Flight! With only 150 seats on offer, the experience was a memorable one!

I’ll never claim to be a flight review / trip report guy, but I thought I’d take you all on my first Qantas 747 flight from Sydney to Avalon! I have no idea if I’ll do more trip reports but if so I know I have quite a fair bit to learn as it’s a lot harder than it seems! Credit to the likes of Dennis from DennisBunnik Travels who produces content like this! With that being said, I hope you all enjoy my trip report / flight review!
love it dude < 3
I like both Dennis Bunnik and DJ's Aviation :)
I know this is outside of your comfort zone but you did a great job. Dennis is a legend and another great Aussie is @paul stewart ( even though he is a ginger lol). Funnily enough I watched Dennis' latest trip report immediately before this video.
The flights are a great thing having seen one before and congrats on getting to be a part of one. I didn't know about your nut allergy. If you're ever back in the UK we'll take a BA flight together. They have a set procedure for people like yourself to keep you safe.
Dj's Aviation, I love your videos and your podcasts. It was a very enjoyable trip report
You did an amazing job mate, super pumped to be flying on the queen from Bangkok to Phuket in April!
2:30 “I am a huge aviation enthusiast”
No really?
Jk
I’m loving the content Dj, keep up the good work. 🙂
Some people only like one part of aviation, I, however, enjoy so many different parts of aviation.
You don't say...
Well I'd say he's an aviation pro
Olga D. I agree 👍
Thanks for filming this one dude. Shows how kick you care about your career by filming it for us instead of just enjoying it for your self
My dad used to do heavy maintenance on the QANTAS 747's at Avalon. He's worked on all the current 747's in the QANTAS fleet
So close to 200k! Keep up the amazing work!
First time in 747…? Wow. How times have changed. So many flights for me from the late 70s when I was 11 on the 747. I must try for a last flight.
As I've just turned 18 I've only now started to get some flights in. During my times as a kid I would just go on A320s with my parents once every few years :)
18? Wow dude! You definitely sound a lot more mature and professional than a majority of other 18-year-old (or even older) RUclipsrs. You'll have a bright future with this channel, I'm looking forward to your success!!
Great work DJ.
hoping to fly in an 747 one day, flew in a a380. 18 so young like meh lol
@@DjsAviation You are only 18? The maturity you have shown in speaking in so many videos, I am not exaggerating, but you are gold!
You choose your words very well. I'm seriously impressed. You will fly high with such a mind. All the best 👍
Love absolutely everything about your work DJ!!! Everything about your films is superb. Just enough of everything, not too much of anything, great commentary & so on. We all appreciate the hours you must put into editing them etc. Don't ever stop!! Cheers
I would love to fly on a jumbo jet like a 747 or a380 before they’re gone, but they hardly fly out of Chicago
British operates a380s in their Chicago route
Same here, I live in Ottawa Canada and almost none fly in Canada other than Toronto or Vancouver. The couple times an A380 did land at Ottawa-MacDonald Cartier it made the evening news!
Klm 747, BA 747 or a380, Lufthansa 747-8 from Ohare
Asian & Europeans fly both. Come to this part of the world. Explore new countries in B747 & A380s.
As do Australians.....
What an amazing experience - would love to do a special flight like this one day. This will be one to remember once all the Queens have retired. You've captured the flight and the experience really well.
Thank you from a legend like you!
I just love your video clips, especially this one. Yes, the Boeing 747 is a very special aircraft, so special that it's been given a special name. The Queen of the skies. I don't think that any plane got so many sweet memories than the Boeing 747. Thank you for all your very informative videos. Keep up the good work.
Great report! It’s awesome that this flight was so empty and you were able to document the 747 so well. Sadly it won’t be much longer before they’re all retired. I was lucky enough to fly on the Qantas Queen of the Skies about 10 years ago and loved it.
G'day Dj, Thank you so much for documenting this rare type of flight. I'm also so pleased that you've now experienced The Queen of the Skies! When this aircraft was new imagine how special the passengers must have felt, like I did on my first 747 flight back in the 70s. Later on we got to experience a flight to London with PAL on a 747 in First Class because they were offering such a bargain price. It didn't matter that our 747 on that journey was old, one of the first Jumbos produced that was purchased by PAL from Pan Am. It had the original, 'rickety', aluminium spiral staircase to the upper deck which had more 1st class seats and a bar/lounge area. The whole aircraft shook and rattled like a huge bag of bolts but we didn't care it was a magnificent experience.
It was also great to see you land at Avalon; bringing back memories of my RAAF days when I'd get 'jollies' on C130 training flights into Avalon, doing circuits of touch and goes between Avalon and Point Cook. You were lucky to see a USAF B-52 up close; you've got one up on me; I've been fascinated with that aircraft for decades but never got to see one visiting a RAAF base.
As one of your minor supporters I'm so happy that you use your resources to do trips like this and I reckon you should do all the trip reports you can manage. {So, come on people, let's get together and help Dj do his thing and clock up many more flight hours!}
Thanks again, Dj, excellent job! Cheers, BH
Boeing 747-400 of QF still looks great
I took a 47 from Sydney to LA back in 2015, though we had some bad turbulence, I had no worries and full faith in the Queen. What a stunner.
Always a pleasure to watch a video of yours! Regardless of the topic, you always make an excellent job! Isn't true everyone? ;-)
Great video Dj... More please 🤗
Absolute epic video mate, I'm so incredibly happy for [even though I'm jealous of you] for experiencing your dream to fly aboard a Qantas 747 before they're retired. Keep the videos coming, my friend! Liked!
I love how the wings get lifted with the take off 6:30
Oh cool, me too. I would get hives if I eat peanuts.
Edit: I wasn't expecting that, but thanks for the highlight and the ♥️ DJ!
Epoic. I’m so pleased you had a great time! You deserve it!
Glad you got to ride your first 747. I subscribe and watch your channel, and by the way, thank you for your hard work and effort you put into this channel. I do not think stuff like that is easy. It takes work and dedication and thanks again. I remember you making a comment last year that you had never flown on a 747. To me, the 747 is the best aircraft in the air but, everyone has a favorite. Thanks for posting and sharing.
Great video I was very lucky to fly the 747-400 many times in the 1990 when they were brand new on NWA from Detroit to japan thanks great job👍
Excellent video! Hope to fly on a 747 myself before it’s too late!
The 747 was such an interesting airplane. First it was the tri-Jets and now the Quad-Jets. Keep up the great work DJ! You are great at what you do.
Tech. Is. Best. Ok so true, wasn’t it meant to just be a stock filler that airlines could buy to after use as a cargo aircraft, when Boeing brought out there equivalent of the airbus a380 (before the a380 was relieved) and it obviously never happened
Happy for u dj u deserve it...God bless!
Thanks for the great video as always. Iconic Queen of the sky’s!
Awesome video! Need more of these from you mate!
Thank you, thank you so very much DJ for giving us this opportunity to see what it's like to fly in a Queen of the Skies! A trip of a lifetime for sure. I bet you were being photographed/filmed by countless spotters on the ground at the same time 🤗✈🇦🇺
Love how on the takeoff roll, you can watch the wing start to fly before the actual rotation. Great video - Thanks for posting!
Kudos to Qantas for basically donating the flight as the seat fares didn't come anywhere near the cost to operate this flight.
They donated the proceeds to the aussie farmers drought relief.....so even better.
Queen of the skies still the best aircraft ever manufactured, love the 744 wing. I think I've got quite a large collection of those pins somewhere, used to get them all the time as a kid
Very nice to see! Well done with 200K as well.
That's extremely epic mate! loved it all
Such a great shot of the wing, as I'm watching I'm just amazed! Love how you see the wing bend as it speeds up and great views too!
Great trip report DJ!
You have ticked off the one dream I have always had. I am so happy for you!
Qantas was amazing with my 747 flights a few weeks ago. I was sitting in economy but near the end of my flight to Hawaii, they moved me to the flight crews private room on the upper deck while we landed and then I toured the cockpit afterwards. The cabin crew knew it was my favorite aircraft. 😁
Have no doubt, You did a great job on this trip report. I enjoyed it and it brought back memories of my 747 flights, including flying on a 747SP.
Dj are you really only 18? You sound so mature (don't mean old) for your age.
Nice bro!!! You have good luck!! To fly the 747!!! Enjoy!
Congrats on 200.000 subs !!
I travelled on the British Airways 747-400 ( also with RR engines ) from São Paulo to Buenos Aires and back. As an enthusiast, It was the realization of a dream.
DJ, I am very happy for you to have had that flight opportunity onboard the B737-400.
Wow! That must have been such an amazing experience!
Soo cool! Thanks for the video, and yes, please more tripreports! You were pretty good and it was full of details! So thanks for that! Especially as it was a very unique flight, not some flight which operates daily.
I flew on a 747-400 domestically last month, but it was from Phuket to Bangkok on THAI, which is also a short 1h-hop. But they operate that route regularly on the 747. It was also my first flight on the Queen of the Skies! Thai‘s 747 look way more outdated than the one of Qantas tbh.
I‘m from Germany, but I missed the opportunity when Lufthansa flew its 747-400 domestically from Berlin-Tegel to Frankfurt twice-daily in December 2017, after Air Berlin went bankrupt.
And thanks for the amazing view of Melbourne, my home town last year. Sadly I moved back to Germany just a couple of weeks ago, but Melbourne will always have a special place in my heart and I want to go back asap!
I used to live near Avalon when it was a Qantas maintenance base, the Qantas 747 would fly out and back around the bay all throughout the day.
Great Video DJ!!! I flew in 2003 on a 747-400 as a domestic passenger from Melbourne to Sydney. Smoothest flight I’ve ever been on! Hope your get the chance to do more flight reports. This one was great! 😊
Nice job.. Well done Quantas!
Thank you, slight correction though, it's Qantas not Quantas :)
Great video mate
👏🏻👍🏻 congratulations!
Awesome video you where very lucky to get a ticket for that flight
This was great
Lucky you flew on a RR powered 747 :) great trip report!
Back in September 2007, I had the pleasure of flying in a Qantas Boeing 747-400 as a domestic passenger (on an international flight), from Sydney to Melbourne.
It was kind of eerie, as the aircraft was almost empty, but it was a magnificent plane to fly on, the 747 was so smooth.
Great video
Great trip, only flew once on a 747 in 1980 British Caldonia, Business Class on the upper deck. No inflight entertainment.
Must have been ana Amazing flight my dude! Im so jealous you got to do this but seems like u had an awesome time!
Hey DJ!!! I will be flying to Australia from The UK in a Qantas A380. Can't wait to visit your magnificent country.
Do the Great Ocean Road VIC while you're here....you wont regret it.
I did a flight on a 747-400 on Qantas between Brisbane and Sydney and flew out of the international gate. It was fun and now I can say I've been on a 747. It's well worth it if you can get on one of the flights coming back in from LA that is mostly empty by then.
Two weeks from today I’ll be on a Qantas 747-400 from San Francisco to Sydney. Looking forward to it.
Good stuff, all around. I actually haven't flown on the Queen for well over a decade now. Your experience kind of inspires me to do it at least once more before the old girl is gone for good. :)
I really hope you get to fly a 747-8 one day. It's a truly amazing experience as well.
Who remembers the days of 1K subs? Congratulations on 200K!
I got to fly a 747 from MSP to SEA. Three hour flight. Loved it.
I do hope to fly on Qantas one day. Heard their 787-9 are nice.
Please do more FLIGHT REVIEWS!!!!!
YOU DO SUCH A GREAT JOB!!!!!!!!!!!1
Wow first time DJ making a trip report
My first flight to Australia in 2000 was aboard a Qantas 747-400. Nothing like the Queen of the Skies.
Such power
Awesome!! My dream is the fly on the Queen but I seriously doubt I’ll ever get to. I’m American and you know our airlines have already retired theirs. Which is so sad!! Thank you for this!!
Always a chance! Maybe you could try to get on a British Airways 747? They still fly into a lot of U.S airports :)
Dj's Aviation that’s what I’ve been thinking about doing but convincing my husband that we need to visit Great Britain is the hard part!
Ah, nice to see you flew over Canberra, I was probably somewhere in that shot actually :) First time I've ever seen footage of my house from above at 10:04!
lucky You.
You do a good trip report though there bud!
I will be flying a KLM 747 from AMS-NBO second time on the route! This route was my first time on the queen of the skies. its going to be nice to fly the 747 after it has turned 50 years old and KLM as it turns 100 years old. When I go home to the states I will be fly the KLM A330 KGL-AMS via entebbe! Very excited :D
Ffs, why did 9 people down vote this? What did they dislike so much to bother doing that, PMSL!? Great job on the vid, i enjoyed it. It's a dream of mine to fly on a 747, gutted that it prob wont happen. I only really fly UK-MSP return, and dont think they're used for that journey at all. My fave plane by far! I do like the 767 too. Thanks for the opportunity to have a peek and glad some good money was raised!
I flew onboard a Boeing 747-400 back on 7 October 2000. It was Northwest Airlines Flight 68 from Detroit Metropolitan Airport to Amsterdam Schiphol Airport. It was truly an amazing experience and one which I will never forget!
Id do anything to fly a Qantas 747, I've been trying to nab one on my last few trips (and wont be travelling again because $$$ in Australia anytime soon) and Im afraid theyll phase out before I do. So jealous!
I flew with the queen the last summer, for the first time but propably for the last...
DJ, to be honest with you. I'm not concerned with opinions of "how the food taste" or any other subjective matter. Your flight was just fine and I enjoyed it. Thank you, from a Tennessean born in Georgia :)
Coool
You really didn’t miss much by not being allowed up the stairs,the upper deck can give you a real headache on long flights something that I have never experienced on a A380 they are far superior in every way,I never understand people’s negative comments about the A380 they are superb.
Aesthetically , I actually prefer the 777 interior over the 787. I like how the bins are higher up in the cabin and go into the ceiling. The only downside to the 777 interior is that they mostly have fluorescent white lights and the 787 led lighting is nicer.
Oh youre coming to my town!
Avalon?
@@DjsAviation Geelong - but Avalon is on the outskirts. xD
Ahhh ok, I am from Melbourne :) I flew up to Sydney a day earlier specifically for this flight.
The morning aircraft headed back to Asia which is why you had the other 747 for the afternoon.
Only today I know that u're Australian mate!
The only 747 i've flown was eighther a -100 or -200 or SP with iran air
love your channel mate, just out of interest, what is the shortest / cheapest route that the 747 flies? I've not been on one, and would really like to, before they go
Me to the boarding crew after watching this video: I have a severe peanut allergy!
Still an iconic flight review. By the way, what’s the cheapest way to fly the queen of sky?
Hey @djsaviation I never knew a severe allergy meant I could board early, thanks for pointing that out! I’m (believe it or not, it’s still true) I’m severely allergic to chicken, turkey, treenuts & eggs, so I’ll def ask next time I fly if I can board early too!
1:55 I also am anaphylactic to nuts 😞 flying can be a death trap
Older the plane, the more comfortable. I flew on a new 777-300ER last year and seat was so uncomfortable. An older 767-300ER I flew on in 2015 was so comfy. The automobiles today are the same unfortunately.
I think you meant 2-3-2 configuration of Business Class, not 2-2-2 but great video.
Oops pardon me!
Lowkey thought this was Paul Stewart for some reason
I’ve got a peanut allergy also but I don’t board first. How do you do that.
The last 747-400 Flight I got was on Air China in 2011-2012...and It was not the best flight when your awake for 12 hours the next one I was better
My goal is to travel Thai Airways’ 747 from Sydney to Bangkok before they’re gone, it would also be my first 747 flight.
Qantas and BA don’t really stick out to me for their 747s.
very appropreate there were 747 likes before I added mine.
Nice vid. Is this B747 on this route on regular basis or only for this occasion ?
Special one off flight :)
One off for the Avalon air show and the proceeds went towards the Australian drought relief.
Hey DJ do you know why QF only sold 150 seat?
How tall are you? Because that's often a factor in how comfortable you are.
