Final Flight: Delta Air Lines B777-200LR New York City to Los Angeles (JFK-LAX)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 25 авг 2024
- Hey guys! Welcome to a very special Delta 777 retirement flight video! On Halloween in 2020, Delta Air Lines scheduled its very last B777-200LR flight from New York City to Los Angeles. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, Delta was forced to cut the 777 from their fleet, even though their fleet of 18 were relatively young still. Desperate times call for desperate measures, and it is now unfortunately gone. When I heard that Delta scheduled this last flight, I just had to be on it & booked it immediately. In this video, I document the experience of being on the last Delta 777 (what I like to call full flight experiences) onboard N701DN or “The Delta Spirit”. I thought given the circumstances, the airline and its flight attendants, ground crew, pilots, and airport agents did an amazing job with this final flight and I truly enjoyed everything about it. Was also nice to see some friends and a TON of other fellow av geeks on the flight of whom I spoke with throughout. Rest in peace Delta 777 and enjoy retirement…definitely went way too soon. Hope you guys enjoy!
Thanks to @ny_photography2000 (Instagram) for letting me use a cutout of a photo he took of our 777 departing JFK at the end!

What is this...Saturday upload?!?! :D Back to the regularly scheduled programming on Thursday. Hope y'all enjoy this special last flight aboard Delta's 777 🤙🏻
The fact that you uploaded on a day you don't usually upload on made the day extra special for me. My days are always amazing when you upload, but the fact you uploaded when I didn't expect you to made this day extremely amazing for me. Thank you so much for taking the time to upload.
now that's dedication
Ok!
Okay, the vid was awesome!
@@crazycoollady Agreed!
Flew on Delta's 777-200LR from Atlanta to Johannesburg roundtrip back in 2012. Longest flight I have ever been on at around 16 hours. Sad to see the plane being retired!
That was such a memorable flight! I was 2 rows ahead of you in 51C in the blue hat. I'm glad so many people have made videos about it because there's just so much to remember. Thanks for the awesome video!
34:08 awesome haha. Love the video!
First the MD-88's and MD-90's, now Delta's Boeing 777-200's. I can only imagine what's next. By the way, this video made my day. You are so wonderful.
The next aircraft to go are the 717s and the 767s but not till 2025.
@@SouthwestAirlines335 I doubt the 757 and 767 will see 2022, seeing AA already retired there’s!
It’s sad.
@@ryanfrisby7389 I know, right? They were outstanding aircraft, and they provided abundant legroom from what I saw.
@@crazycoollady yep
What a beautiful video man! Liked!
Agreed
Oh my gosh, this made me so sad! I did love that you covered it though, and it was nice that unlike the MD-88 retirement flight, you had amazing flight attendants! Honestly, I don’t have a great track record with Delta, they’ve lost a bag, broke a bag, canceled flights for no reason, etc., but dang did they do excellent! DL would be my favorite airline if they would let the people on this flight do the training!😸😻😸
Now that you mention it, I am glad the flight attendants were friendly this time around. Flights like those are a huge deal.
@@crazycoollady Yes, interestingly, he’s only had rude ones on DL, G4, and Wizz!
@@ryanfrisby7389 That is very interesting. To be honest, he doesn't deserve to surrounded by rude employees. He is a diligent, intelligent person with a heart of gold.
@@crazycoollady I agree whole heartedly with every thing he just said! Btw, why does it seem like DL has a mix of the rudest and nicest employees and SWA and Spirit have the funniest and the rest of the US carriers are just average!
Good to see my two favorite flight reporters: thejazzguy and qfs aviation! You both rock! Big fan here!
Wow this video really made me feel better about my first flight on Friday. The other passengers look so relaxed and they were having fun! Thanks so much for your videos they really help ease my anxiety.
I’m not a great flyer either. And these videos do help. Hope you had a good experience and happy holidays to you and yours.
Since I can't do special trips like this, or any trips, you keep doing them for me jazzyguy! This is fantastic!
Sorry I misspelled your name!
This is crazy the 777 is my favorite plane well can’t wait for the next vid my man keep up the good work love the vids
I don't fly often Chris, but I flew on a Delta flight from BWI to ATL to JAX, back in April of 2022, for a friend's wedding (our original Southwest flight was cancelled due to weather) and I was so psyched about the screen at my seat!😊
I flew on Delta’s 777 in October 2019 from Atlanta to Johannesburg. So glad I did now
Love your videos. I'm retired and did a lot of business travel in my younger days and it's great to have so much flying video available today. Back in the day I got my hands on any info I could find but it just wasn't readily available. I love your presentation of flying, the humor and knowledge you add.
Thanks fir this great video!
Itrip and QFS were both on this flight. QFS boarded just before you did and sat two rows behind you. He posted his video of this flight yesterday.
This is hella sad 😔 but very awesome too 👏🏽 definitely my favorite video of yours‼️
Very cool ending to your video! Your choice of music really hit the spot!
I agree, this aircraft was gone way too soon! Awesome they were able to commemorate it! By the way I believe on this exact day was when a Delta 777 took its last flight from ATL-LAX and something interesting I’ve noticed, Jeb Brooks was on that one in business class as they served the ice cream before his snacks while on this one they served it to you after the snacks which is interesting!
So awesome to see so many passengers geeking about this
Yea. I am rn🤣🤣
Oh man! What an amazing video!! Loved the final montage. So sad to see 777 going!!! Spectacular report!!! 777 wasn't a regular on Puerto Rico, but we enjoyed it several times here on SJU! Bravo!!!!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us!
I love that you "label" geographical locations, much better than narrating it!
Love ❤️ that sound of engine start up 🛫🛬
At 16:00, I love that flavor of ice cream. (Also, I'm craving it right now.) Nice Video!!!
i cant stop watchinf this😭😭😭😭
Excellent video! Still can't believe these beauties are gone already....
And this is why I like the window seat the views are amazing and this is a great video!
I understand why Delta decided to go with fleet commonality but with the 777 being a workhorse a/c for long distance and higher payloads, didn't expect them to do that right away. Wasn't surprised with the MD retirements but those were fun to fly on. End of an era with Delta I guess as we see more Airbus come in and take over.
Different flights detailed so good by the jazz guy 🙌
Agreed
You are correct.
Cool video! It was like I was in the plane myself. Thanks for sharing. Greetings from Belgium!
Great video and its always a pleasant experience flying with delta ❤️ Keep climbing ✈️
You did this one, Thank you.
Man I wish I could have been in this flight!
Great views. Feel like i was on that flight.
The passengers in that plane were so wholesome
I was on a Delta 777-200LR from Tokyo Narita to Los Angeles in October 2015.
I remember taking The Delta Spirit from Atlanta to Paris back in 2016. I'm really going to miss flying on these birds.
Didn't even realize you were on the flight till one of my friends pointed it out haha
Lmao you literally came in my row and stole the safety card next to me...then I talked about it with Jacob right behind you when deboarding and you looked at me funny 😂🤣😅
Another great video! Sad at the same time. Did you see Indianapolis on the plane?
Agreed!
Thanks mate! Unfortunately no, I think we went a bit too south
Very good film. Thank you from Portugal!!!
I'm a AV geek too!
Yep
I watched most of the flight from JFK to LAX and all of it from LAX to Victorville on flightradar. I was sad to see the Delta 777 go. It’s my favorite Boeing aircraft besides the 747.

All Angela's Galaxy members heard about the news about the Delta 777 retirement, and 25 minutes before landing at LAX, all 44 members as well as all passengers and crew onboard the Delta Airlines 777 sang, "Na na na na, na na na na, hey hey hey, goodbye!" Multiple times. It was so catchy that Stella, in which Kade Ursus calls Stell, was told to sing along with Justin and Kayla! Even the children sang! Later on, they sang the goodbye song while landing at LAX, and everyone joined Stell and Kade as they sang it in perfect harmony, but 2 semitones higher. And Sultz sang the so long song from Blue's Clues, and everyone on the plane said "We Can Do Anything, That We Want To Do!!!" in unison before de-planing for the last time. I have a couple Delta 777 models in my plane collection, still.
I know this sounds a bit ridiculous but I am just rubbed the wrong way by Delta retiring their 777s early rather than their 767s. The 777s are so much more efficient, quiet, and comfortable and the 767s would make terrific freighters but nope, down with the 777 it is. It seems like such a waste of great planes.
I’m so glad I’m not the only one who immediately thought this when the news was announced! I’m sure it has some to do with there growing fleet of box standard (though admittedly better for the airline and non AV geeks) A350s! Since they don’t really have a newer aircraft that’s comparable to the 767, that’s probably why! With the new absolutely awesome A220, I doubt the 717 (MD-95) will be around much longer on DL, but at least they aren’t going anywhere with Hawaiian!😸
@@ryanfrisby7389 Very much indeed. A330s and A350s are fine, but scrapping 777s over 767s when the 767s are older and more inefficient is just not right.
@@suprensa4393 yes
When Covid is over, they may wish they kept them.
@@nashscan I doubt it as this was already coming with the more efficient A350 getting larger and larger
Phones up.. I remember when we did not have cell phones and life was good..
I don't have a phone out when I'm on the plane,i just like to enjoy the scene. Im 34 and only been on 5 planes, i still get a bit nervous
At the 29"55 mark, it looks like the black on the flaps say 77W
I can't believe that these are gone. They were just refurbished and had so many more years to stay.
I seen ITripReports vlog on the is flight and if correct he caught a glimpse of ya.
i love watching this dude its so relaxing and me and my brother love to watch these keep it up jazzyguy13
Thank you, you rock!
I’m surprised they didn’t have a water cannon for the flight when it pulled in !
Hey itrip was on this flight😉
im crying noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo i love deltas 777
Beautiful large comfortable plane. Makes no sense retiring this
Am surprised you didn't join the avgeek crowd presumably at the In and Out restaurant,to film the 777's final takeoff at sunset. What a privilege to be able to be on the tarmac,up close and personal! Since you exited the LAX terminal,were you going to do some sightseeing and overnight before heading home?
It’s about time you went to the west
Wow cool man, damn thats so sad that Delta got rid of such an amazingly created aircraft! This freakin pandemic ruined a lotta good shit man, but it is what it is I guess! I'm glad you enjoyed it, that looked like an amazing time! You were in my neck of the woods too haha, well I live about an hour from Kennedy but its good to see JFK again since I havent flown since March! Great job man, 10/10 For Sure! Stay safe out there brotha, peace be with you! ~ Miguel ~
And I have never seen LAX that quiet....EVAR!!!!
Nice! At 52 seconds, what is that Eastern Airlines plane?
Yup, would have taken the safety card also :)
Yep
B777 is like a international flight
B777 can also be domestic it is like international
He should fly Altoona to Pittsburgh
on these transcon flight you know when you cross the Mississippi River especially when its a clear day
Do you know who bought or is planning to buy the 777 fleet from delta all the upgrades they did would put up resale value up
I almost forgot that Caribbean airlines flying into Piarco International Airport Trinidad and Tobago POS 🇹🇹 from New York JFK not JetBlue airways. So yeah maybe you can fly to my control for a visit after vaccinated, borders reopened.
33:01 thats me walking by in the ala vest🤙
Are they going to bring these back or were they crunched up?
Muchas gracias el vídeo es muy interesante, más aún en estos tiempos de pandemia
Me gustaría en títulos al idioma español gracias hasta el próximo viaje
Hey I really enjoy your videos.Iam wondering if you have done a jet blue flight.I would like to check that video out!
You are a cool RUclipsr like my faves vid
I’m a little confused. Why was this the final flight?
surely this aircraft had years left in it yet?? Its first flight was only 2008
Lol I was on that 737 max 9 to Santiago last Christmas
Wow
What happens after retirement, do they get destroyed or something??
Good bye delta 777 😥🤧🤧🤧
I miss the B777
This was the same flight @QFSAviation was on I believe.
wouldnt shock me if the 777 comes back in a few years when people start traveling again
Wo habe ich ihn geparkt ich suche meinen Hurracan.
That was the clip that i watched as an advertisement just before your video started. 😎
And I have went to LA and also saw this! 26:45
You should go to LAX more often
Lots of vids coming from the west soon!
@@thejazzguy13 can’t wait. Your videos are amazing
The boss baby the season 3 the crying!
dang 😢
So this must be the plane thats in the back of LAX being dismantled
No fire truck welcome?
What a shame that a plane that should have been used for at least twenty more years had to be "retired."
At 4:20 Was that the guy saying " Oh My God" 😂
Very sad and beautiful on delta triple 7 😢 I miss delta 777 sooo much!!! 💔 STUPID COVID-19, NOW A GONE!!!!! 😡
WHY IS DELTA RETIRING THE 777
FAREWELL DELTA AIRLINES 777 1999-2020
