I’ve flown between SFO and AKL a few times on 747s and 777s on the 12 hour flight between the USA and NZ. It was a very nice, comfy wide-body flight for the economy airfare. ANZ is a very professional airline who take excellent care of their passengers in every way. And their free meals aren’t half-bad, ANZ does have some solid, pretty decent airline dinners.
I've made this same flight. United does a very nice job on its international routes in my experience. In fact, flying to Oz I prefer either United or Qantas, having flown every carrier that make the trip from the US. Longest I've flown is IAH - SYD, nearly 17 hrs. Next trip I'm doing is DFW-MEL, 17.5 hrs on QF, 787-9 going and an A380 (my favorite) returning.
@Parula06 Hello. Yes United international is a great product now, especially with all the aircraft now the "real" Polaris. I have been flying ultra long flights a norm now. I once thought flight of 8 to 10 hours was long, not anymore. 15 to 18 hours is the norm now for me. Thanks for stopping by, have a wonderful day/night!
What a wonderful flight. I have never experienced a long haul flight from my country New Zealand so it was a treat to watch this video. Thank you for sharing!
Hello, John. Thanks for watching! Was wondering who was causing the spike in watch time! ;) It was a good flight, about to repeat is in the coming weeks. Finally heading back to SYD! Have a great day!😄
Love the video The 787 dreamliner is a really smooth aircraft, can barely tell when it leaves the ground, even the cheap seats are nice not really crowded at all Have made this exact flight twice, fall of 2016 and spring of 2019
Jan, thanks for the laugh. You'd love the Singapore flight if YT would let me upload it, 17 hours. But sadly they only allow 12 hours. Thanks for the comment and the laugh.
@@RatherBeTraveling i must say it is great video, during the take off i had the same feelings as i was in the plane year ago ☺️💪☺️thanks for the video! ☺️☺️
I would love to be on that flight one day. Right now I have flown to India from Newark that flight is 16 hours and change... (really long...so long I got 7 hours of sleep).
Hello, Pamela, thanks for watching. Sun rises and sets from the air are so beautiful. One of the things I don't understand is why more people don't watch them, but put their window shades down.
Hi, Jack. There was some turbulence, but its not scary. Most flights have a little turbulence but airplanes are designed to handle it. Just remember if you are seated, have your seatbelt on, even if you are sleeping. Enjoy your flight and trip, you'll have a blast.
Cristian, thanks for stopping by. That is understandable, on flights like these sometimes it is worth getting the upgrade or paying the price for the Business class. Even the few extra inches in Economy Plus makes a big difference. But even doing that I felt wiped out on my trip to India when it was a 17 hour flight due to the war in Ukraine. Thank for watching again, have a great day/evening.
Hello, Derek 777, thanks for stopping by and watching. Thats going to be a nice L O N G trip for you. I"d love it too :) I too am thinking about hitting Australia again this year for VIVID. When will you be traveling?
Hello, Neil. Yep, it not good right now for travel, but it is getting better. Have had a few business trips to HNL and heading to India in May after a year and half wait. I do hope things get back to "normal" soon. Thanks for stopping by and hope you have a great day/evening or night.
Hello, Aarush, if you can I would plan for it, Sydney is a great city even if you are just there for 24 hours. Thank you very much for the kind words. :) I am heading back to Sydney in June, can't wait.
Aha! I see what you did, and thank you so much. I just wish you could keep that nice, stereo sound throughout the entire video, because when the sound is condensed like that, it's painful to listen to and doesn't allow the cancelation headphones to work. I really hope YT realizes that. Actually, I hope Google realizes that, because I think they'd be upset if they had the right to hear the sound as it should be taken away from them. So thank you so much. And, great takeoff!
Hello, Heather Stubbs. Thanks for watching. Yeah, the audio is not that great on the GoPro 5 and 6. I upgraded to a GoPro 7 but when I film at 60 fps, it overheats and shuts down, at least the copy I got. I will have to film at 30 fps or keep using the 6. As you noticed during the video when the audio increases its because, of me using my phone to film, which picks up the better sound. It was awesome takeoff, and perfect weather!
Hello W&LE Railfan, This was taken on a GoPro 8, with several memory cards and batteries. :) Also some was take on my phone at that time Galaxy 9. Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great day!
Hello belajar keren, Thanks for stopping by. It was a direct flight from SYD to LAX. Fun thing is I am heading to SYD this morning from and connecting in LAX. Have a great day.
Hello GOD bludada, thanks for stopping by, and yes my favorite parts of a lot of flights is the sun set and rise. They are wonderful to watch and experience!
Hello a b, thanks for stopping by and watching. This is one of them, but I was on a longer one, LAX to SIN 17 hours. At the 10 hour mark, OMG 7 more hours! ;)
Hello, QuantumBraced, The video is missing a few hours, because with my non-partner status with RUclips I am unable to upload the full flight. The flight time was thirteen hours in the air, not counting boarding, taxing and waiting for other traffic etc.
Oh this is bad why it took so freking long??? It was only 24min in the last video is this an old old jet going at super snail speed????? But thank you for the full play through!!! What camera did you use to capture such a long video?
Hello, Anthony. Thanks for watching, it was somewhat a harder landing. I have a video of one landing that I should of asked what happened because it was the hardest landing I have experienced, and I teach people how to fly!
there shouldnt a automatic window dim thats just asking for fights between customers if i paied 7k you best believe that window isnt gonna be dimmed passenger next to me would have to simply deal with it!!!
Although views out the window are nice, they don’t make videos a “trip report.” I suggest you watch how other RUclipsrs do it and provide views of the aircraft, info on the flight, views of the seats and info on them, specific info on the IFE system, movie/tv selection and ease of use, overall seat comfort and recline, meals, available charging ports, WiFi cost and strength, and ground services on departure and arrival. Was the service efficient? Was it friendly? When you do all that, it’ll be a flight review.
Hello, George, Thanks for the pointers. Each of us have our own review styles, mine is evolving. In the description and along the video is the things that you have suggested. I have stated in a few of the reports that I do not like filming the crew while they are working. Because I wouldn't like it they came to my place of business and started filming. Each of the flight after the first one have been improving and flights that haven't been uploaded have included more and more of items that you state. But without filming the crew. Thank you for you comment and suggestions.
Hello Lightingfun 64 LOL yeah, that's a long flight to only get 30 mins of sleep. (and the food is only okay too) ;) Thanks for stopping by, have a great day/afternoon/night
Great video, although the audio was "low-rez", not that nice, surround-sound in stereo I would have loved to hear at first. If you use the GoPro, the 7 has now got a binaural microphone, so it's like I'm on the airplane with you. Also, you can upload the video in two parts instead of one, can't you? Also, if the video has more commentary, even if you speak at times about the meal, I think that will give you the ability to upload the entire 17 hours. If I'm wrong, please tell me, because RUclips is totally wrong to be keeping you and others from doing what you and others want to do. I believe we have the law on our side. I do know you can break it up into two or three parts, or that's what I read into it. I'm not a lawyer, but I'm constantly fighting for our rights, and those include life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Equal access for all is also equal to those rights. Good luck with this, because I would love to travel again, but my medical condition and limited income and inability to work prevent me from doing this. Oh, thank heavens! The sound improved. I hope it stays like this. Well, then, it closed up again, and it sounds like you're in a box between my ears, and it sounded soooo good there during the start. This is easier to tell if you wear headphones, so please take a listen, and you'll hear what I mean. Again thank you for this video, and I subscribed. I'd rather be traveling, too.
love the in picture window of the safety briefing before flight. cheers
Usually hate music in a travel vid, but the intro for the first few minutes is lovely.
Thanks I really like that music too. I set the mood of how was feeling leaving such a wonderful country.
Wow that's a long long flight, 15 hours? Love the views from Sydney to LAX.
Hello Debra. Thanks for watching. It was a great flight and a great trip. Going back this June. Can't wait.

Hi, Sean, glad it can provide a restful sleep!
@@RatherBeTraveling this flight is very dangerous...sea...only sea 10 hours
What are you talking about he can do what he wants
Really long and chill flight. Enjoyed that commercial before the takeoff
Ah, I remember flying to Sydney a few years ago. Longest. Flight. Ever! I never thought I would make it there.
Hello, Miss Gigglebox, yep is was a long ride, but I enjoyed almost every moment of it and can't wait to do it again.
Ooooh can't wait to fly from Sydney to LAX again.
Wow! That was seriously low ceiling! You guys came out of the clouds almost on the ground!! Amazing!!!
What a wonderful flight. I have never experienced a long haul flight from my country New Zealand so it was a treat to watch this video.

Thank you so much for sharing this video👏👏👋🏻 beautiful sunrise✈️🌅🌃 greets from Switzerland🙋♀️🥰
Hello, Pamela, thanks for watching. Sun rises and sets from the air are so beautiful. One of the things I don't understand is why more people don't watch them, but put their window shades down.
Why does the plane fly over land from 43:00-111:00?
And how is the total distance 8235 miles plus some several hundred more.
Hope you meet jack black
This video was amazing!
Very beautiful flight thank you for sharing

Hi I am going on that same flight to L.A from either Sydney , Melbourne or Brisbane. Was there turbulence and did you find it scary
Hi, Jack. There was some turbulence, but its not scary. Most flights have a little turbulence but airplanes are designed to handle it. Just remember if you are seated, have your seatbelt on, even if you are sleeping. Enjoy your flight and trip, you'll have a blast.

Thanks, Hellen Hellen. Can't wait to fly back to Sydney!
Flying from Mumbai this evening. Looking forward to the long flight tonight!
That flight was a long nightmare ,impossible to sleep in any plane for me and I felt 50 years older when I landed

hello was this first class and i hate that they have some of the window seats blocked off. looks like a god trip
Hi, Danielle. Thanks for stopping by, it was business class. Yeah, they should have a warning on seat selection if a window is blocked.
Did you told a gentleman to take a video of the engine in the airplane?
Hello, @Bopittastic no I took all the video with different cameras. Thank you for watching!
I am so excited form trip back to Australia I am taking United from ATL-IAH-LAX-SYD and from SYD-Tasmania I am taking Virgin Australia

Amazing trip report. I'm planning to fly to India very soon. I can probably take a stopover in Sydney
Hello, Aarush, if you can I would plan for it, Sydney is a great city even if you are just there for 24 hours. Thank you very much for the kind words. :) I am heading back to Sydney in June, can't wait.
By the way, doesn't United generally arrive at terminal 7 for arrivals for international?
So how u change seats ?
Amazing
great time and place for an inception :)
Aha! I see what you did, and thank you so much.
