    Great video Neil. In February I got my first ride on a 757-300 with United on a red-eye from Los Angeles to Chicago. I had flown the 757-200 a few times but not for many years. In October I will get another ride on a 757-200 with Delta from Atlanta to Tampa, FL.

    My first 757 flight was with Monarch GLA to MCO via BGR. Since then, I've flown them with Air Europe, Air Scotland, Continental (international and domestic configs) and Thomas Cook. Almost nearly got a BA 757, but it was replaced by a 767.
    The 757 is also the only aircraft I got to visit the flight deck while airborne in. That was the Monarch flight home. back in 1994.
    Always a comfortable plane to be in, with an awesome take off performance.
    It is my absolute favourite airliner.

    I flew on the same two aircraft in April to and from Lanzarote. AI on the way out and AC back.
    The first time I flew on one was MAN-PMI with Air Europe (G-BLVH) in August 1985 it had only been delivered in the March that year. A great aircraft to fly on and the sound if the RR RB211's spooling up for take off is only beaten by Concorde's engines.

    Thanks for posting this video highlighting the iconic 757 which is my favorite. I followed this plane's history as close as I could from inception to 1st flight in 1982. Initially always believed this plane would replace the 727's that were to common in the USA back then. I flew the long gone Eastern Airlines 757's many time to DCA (Washington DC)from Hartford (BDL). The 757 handled the challenging Washington DC airport effortlessly. Least the 757 is STILL common at BDL sporting the colors of FEDEX & UPS as a freighter which is amazing after 37 years.

    • @MomentsInTheSky

    I couldn’t agree more! The Boeing 757 is an absolutely remarkable aircraft that can do almost anything for low cost package holiday airlines like Jet2. Your detailed trip reports are going to earn you a reputation. I’ve watched your TUI 767 Report ->(my feelings are mutual), Jet2 A321 Report and Ryanair Report. Great personality, Report coverage and video editing. Straight to the point.
    I make trip reports myself and have never done TFS back to back, but looking at an opportunity to fly the TUI 788 Aircraft for myself soon!
    Great channel you have. Keep uploading and I wish I found this stuff sooner. A number of the big name successful creators on RUclips that cover this topic have gone down the baloney road a bit with pretentious nonsense and fake titles, so I appreciate your relaxed and authentic reviews.
    I look forward to more Neil. Thanks for the videos. :) ;)

      Hey Kane, thanks for tuning in! I’d get there 4 hours before, if you can. If you’ve got checked luggage many airlines don’t accept them until three hours before..but allowing for queues I’d be there at the four hour point anyway. Enjoy Venice..lovely city
