The A340 is extremely fun to fly. It's feels like a very big aircraft with these 4 engines but is so much more easy to control
Ive heard the complete opposite.
But easy tailstrike
@@qualcunooo because mad long.
@@FORMULA1NEWS. bro you replied to the top commented not the actual video
I can agree
hold on don’t u like pencil planes
Thats true
A340 is a thicc pencil
@@dash777x and long pencil
Big, thicc long straight-
@@JamaicanAviator ohh hell nahh
I personally love the A340. I'm a sucker for 4 engine Airliners, and the A340 in particular is an unfortunate victim of the times it was born into. It's the best plane that never got to realize it's true potential.
Same i like 4 engined aircraft like the B-707 (the first Boeing) the douglas dc-8 and more
@@ameerzaffran6516 that puts you and I in the same boat
@EzekielAutomotive the 600 is my favorite as well. Though the 300 does hold a special place in my heart
@@ironmann16 Oke
We totally get that 😊 had a change of plane and airline on a Lufthansa booked fare. Was Cathay on the A350 from Hong Kong. Became Lufthansa A340.... We were frustrated at first. However it was a lot of fun ❤
Might be the last time we fly an A340
Swiss001: A340 is the worst aircraft
A380: Finally, this guy accepted me
Swiss001 in the video: Nah still hate you
Along with the change in the ETOPS rules, the introduction of the 777 in 1995 was the final nail in the coffin for the A340
A340 was just getting started then. Its new deliveries occurred between 1993 and 2012.
You might say 777 was the first nail in its coffin, not the final. But that first nail wasn't in 1995, as the original 777-200 had much less range. Entering service two years later in 1997, the 777-200ER had competitive range with A340-300, so that could be the first nail.
I would say the final nail in coffin hasn't come yet, since over half of A340s built are still in service now in 2023.
@@TonyM132 i think the final nail was the a350 because now airlines could finally replace the a340.
I mean the A340-600 is an improved version with bigger engines, fixing the lack of power the previous ones made
Yea, but those bigger engines burn a lot more fuel while the A340-300 is somewhat efficient with those small engines.
@@Bonazest9169 Yeah, they intended it to have those engines, wish they thought about it and realized earlier :(
Also, the A340 500
I love the a 340 , because it has 4 engines , it makes it so special , this is the plane that made me fall in love with aviation , and especially the 600 varient , amazing plane!
1:39 Keep going Mr. Swiss got me
Love how you channel is having more variety
dang swiss i really appreciate u doing more irl videos lately, really makes the channel a whole lot better.
Hi swiss, you probably won't see this but I just wanted to thank you for the years of entertainment you have brought us, viewers and you definitely need more recognition and appreciation.
I am loving these vlogs and I just wanted to say keep up the good work and never give up.
Thank you.
He saw but didn’t reply
you should fly in the 340-600 next, its even better!
Yeah Swiss
Tim seems like such a chill guy
Yeah
flown on an A340-300 too, amazing experience. Looking forward to fly on the A340-600.
“It seems like I completely forgot about the A380, GOD DAMNIT-,” had me dying 😂
The -200 and -300 variants looked a little goofy with the small engines, but the -500 and -600 variants were awesome. Just so huge and soaring like a hawk.
Tim has his own segment with fancy music? Wonderful!
Long live the plane built for a different long gone time, underpowered & inefficient…and that’s why we love the A340!
You missed to show the best part on these toilets: They’re downstairs!! Yes, you have to take a few steps down before you stand in front of 8 (?) wonderful bathrooms 😍 This gives you a bit of double-decker plane feeling without even flying on a double decker :D
Only in the 340-600 though
The 747 is more of a true double decker even though the upper deck is only on the front half, though the cockpit is on the upper deck. The A380 is awesome as the upper deck stretched across a full length.
Watching Swiss have an epiphany about the A340 is amazing, love these vlogs Swiss!
I can 100% agree. Flied on it about 4-5 years ago to Toronto with Air Canada and would love to fly it again ❤. Thanks for sharing this experience 😊
You forgot to thank your channel members
Certainly one of the best looking commercial aircraft of all time particularly the 340-600, they look like a proper aeroplane with long fuselage , 4 engines and hefty middle landing gear, simply beautiful.
My first flight ever was on an A340 on Virgin Atlantic from Johannesburg to London, it was amazing, it felt massive and though a lot say it doesnt have a lot of power, it does without pushing you too far back in your seat from takeoff. One of my best memories is on the A340. It is simply incredible.
Bro woke up and decided to fly with a pencil
I have literally flown on this exact plane! D-AIGN, from Tokyo Haneda to Frankfurt on November 28, 2021, as flight LH717. Was a nice flight, just too bad that my window was very scratched, so it wasn't easy to record anything. I visited the cockpit after landing as well, and the cabin crew was very friendly
In my opinion, the A340 is really underrated. Sure, it's not the best plane and but also not a crappy one either. I actually like it's looks, airliners with 4 engines are always awesome and don't have to be a jumbo. Just looking at the A340 kinda gives nostalgic vibes, especially the Edelweiss one in my opinion. I even heard that people enjoyed flying the A340 much more than the 777, which is a little bit overrated to be honest. And hey, the A340-600 is pretty much one of the longest planes ever made!
the a340-600 WAS the longest plane ever made and the a340-500 used to have the longest range in any plane.
Great flog swiss, nice to see you have met the boy of your dreams. "Dominic looks great in those Levi boxers"
Istg an aviation vlog once in a while actually spices things up :)
When Swiss pops up in his chair it’s like he is the in the back of swiss001s head on the day also will the shortest flight in Scotland be coming up ??
One of my favorites! Probably the last ever proper 4-engine airliner that's not funny shaped like an A380 or 747, so it's like the last spiritual successor of the 707 and DC-8 which were burned into my brain decades ago as what a proper airliner is supposed to look like. And yes, I will never feel as safe over the ocean with 2 engines as I would with 3 or 4. I've sadly never been on one, but my sister has, on Lufthansa even. For all I know, this could have been the exact same A340 she was on 25 years ago.
I am loving these vlogs and I just wanted to say keep up the good work and never give up.
Funny thing is that now our swiss guy takes breaks from the gaming chair and can actually fly real planes showing his face and charisma. I remember years ago when there were only flies at the simulator, then the face review (I was there live!).. great to see you still around 😊
your sense of humer is great. you make people enjoy when watching your videos :) keep up the good work buddy :)
Hey Swiss, I’m a big fan of your videos, I love how you put so much time into RUclips, and into us, thank you so much! And I am flying the A340-300 Edelweiss tomorrow
The A340 is surely consuming too much fuel (you could easily see the smokey trails following the -300 aircrafts during the takeoff), though in my opinion it's extremely elegant aircraft, especially the -600 variant that I love a lot. They must have been an amazing treat back then when they were introduced if flying them right now is still so comfy and quiet. Thanks for that video!
No the flying pencil needs more love
I love it when Swiss says things like “absolutely nice”
We can see that swiss001's vlogging skills are evolving.
It’s the only modern airbus I haven’t been on yet. It looks like a longer Airbus A330 but with an extra engine on each wing.
Hey Swiss , the a340 wasnt meant for those engines it was meant for the engines on the new a220 but larger but the company making those engines pulled out and airbus had to make a plan because it was already being pre-ordered. Good video
These actually aren’t old LCDs - they are CRTs (cathode ray tube). In my opinion, cockpits that still have them look awesome. Airbus started using LCDs in the mid 2000s with EIS 2.
Swiss is the first RUclipsr to make a reaction video to his own vlog lmao
You should fly the a340-600 thats really awesome with the Lufthansa seating and lower deck bathrooms
nice as always
I love this Swiss video man favorite one yet!🎉
To me it was an excellent plane on transatlantic flights. It replaced the very old Tristar in the routes I used to take as a kid and it seemed so modern and slick. As mentioned in the video it was replaced fast though.
The fact that it replaced the Tristar gives me all the reason in the world to undeservedly hate the A340.
@@h8GW if I read you correctly : the tristar was indeed a great plane too. Almost every other plane after that to me seemed small. Tristar was comfortable, silent and I enjoyed it well. The cabin had beautiful proportions and light. The light was very subtle, warm and inviting.
I love those vlogs swiss!
last time i was in an A340 was 10 years ago on an Egyptair flight from Cairo to Abu Dhabi and i remember quite liking it
I love how u got over your fear of recording in public love ur vids
Thank you.Hi swiss, you probably won't see this but I just wanted to thank you for the years of entertainment you have brought us, viewers and you definitely need more recognition and appreciation.
swiss being family freindly 11:16
Bruh whenever i have a flight
Just 2-3 days ago swiss's videos come about rl flying vlog 😂
These videos are just hilarious now
Yeah, efficiency of this cigar is low, but man- it looks great! That was fun video xd)

From enemies to Lover but its about planes

-Swiss001
Swiss your'e a complete legend ❤
I’d say so too
Its very amusing watching Swiss eat his own words lmao
Always has been (ineffecient af and basically a stretched A330 with 4 engines)
2:12 Anyone notice that he put 787 image when he said A350 💀
5:25
Literally one day before I was flying away. Would have been nice to have seen you there haha
6:45 those chocolates are fireeee
6:30 well don't worry that's normal
I was behaving the same while Getting into my flight on 737 max 8 and now it's my favourite flight idk why 🤣🤣🗿
sometimes it's good stress relief by making fun of yourself in healthy ways to get some laughs from it 😂 well done my friend 😉
No way I just found this video, seconds after uploaded.
Keep it up Swiss001👍👍👍
Oh yeah and in 2022 I went on a Airbus A340-300 Lufthansa star alliance livery
I’m on a flight on a a320 as a captain then I see this let’s go! (Don’t tell the FFA)
Don’t worry
press X to doubt
@@Aryan-vi7yx if you do tell them,well we will talk later
@@cerealeat XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
biggest 🧢 ever
"The weather is absolutely shit. Its amazing" Lol
People forget the original choice of the engines on the a340 was not CFM but had to be since PW's GTF technology delayed
2:12 "A350 to Munich" - shows an image of Boeing 787.
I had the chance to fly on Air Canada's A340s, both the A340-300 and the A340-500 before they retired them. They're such a beautiful aircraft, especially the -500, Still my favourite flying experience to this day
*Just watched the Lufthansa Airbus A340 video on Tuesday, May 14th, 2024, at 6:26 PM!!!* ✈️🛩️🛫
Please do a video on the Avro Arrow, it was a Canadian interceptor that was 20 years ahead of its time but tragically cancelled...
Such an amazing aircraft to fly on from my experience. The engine super loud from the back especially with its 4 smaller CFM engines. I honestly prefer -300 over -600 anytime.
But its weak af
@@CY5588 I know but it still looks better imo
The engine choise quite actually makes sense, because airbus prommised a really fuel efficient plane that has a big range with one engine failing (i forgot the term), but engine manufacturer bankrupted, and airbus needed to make the efficiency cime true, and put really small engines on the plane. Other models such as 600 have more powerfull engines, but theyre really fuel thirsty.
I had kinda the same feeling with the A220. I went from dislike to love this plane.
6:44 Swiss International Airlines gives free chocolate too btw (and even water)
If you count volume produced/sold not by airframe unit count, but instead by total combined seat count, or by total revenue generated by their sales, then the A380 might have outsold A340. It would be very close anyway.
I like the A340 much better, but I don't think it's right to say it was more successful than A380. Depending how you define "success," I think the 380 probably has been more successful.
If you did not know, Lufthansa is bringing back the A380 on June 1st.
All the homies love Tim
I flew on this, a 340-300, felt like forever before it took off. Didn’t knew at the time but it is seriously underpowered.
A350 to munich? Its an 787-9 !! 2:13
Next up: swiss flies on an a380
I spotted this exact plane at kbos
swiss is always funny in any way
I’m not lying me and my family flew Lufthansa star allowance. It was the star allowance and we landed in Frankfurt. I swear on my life I flee on that plane. It had the exact same seating as it did when I was on it a few weeks ago. That’s so crazy
11:39 why i luagh with ur face😂😂😂😮💨
I flew an a340-300 from Manila to Taipei, I don't remember much but it was a fun flight
“The weather is absolutely shit, it’s amazing uhhh” - Swiss001 2023
Fly the A380, Your gonna love it, your gonna say "The A380, AHHHHH!"
flying on one next month can't wait
I love the flight review videos
This is what student pilots must feel atc is like
flying pencil with wheels+seats and swiss loves it
Every other airline: We will scrap our old planes!
Lufthansa: *how about we keep them*
Especially the A340-300
The A340 still is a quite welcomed plane because it's a nice difference to all the twin jets nowadays.
Well in question of safety is surely the best one
To the people saying, "oh, but the A340 is the flying pencil"! No its not. Sure, its long. But its a widebody. The 757 is the pencil. ADMIT IT
Agree. The Dash 8-400 is also a good example of a flying pencil
I love a340-600
I Love this type of video
