Looks like the star you were seeing was Sirius, which is the brightest star in the sky. The reason it was blinking or pulsing in different colors is due to light of different wavelengths (or colors) being refracted in different ways through the turbulent layers of the atmosphere lower down. You can tell it is Sirius because you can see the constellation Orion up to the right from it, and the characteristic 3 stars in Orion’s Belt points roughly at Sirius.
@@06L I strongly doubt that the aircraft speed has anything to do with it. Compared to the speed of light, the plane is still essentially not moving at all.
@@06L They be be some color change (scintillation) with atmospheric movement, but not the change in brightness shown in the video - that was a camera artifact. Unless there were some rapidly moving heavy clouds.
Very nice video. My dad was a DC-10 and MD-11 captain at Finnair. He flew that polar route during the cold war (he is old now, 80 years old). My mom was a stewardess at Finnair so I literally owe that company my life 😂 I'm obviously biased but I always thought Finnish pilots are the best, on the roads or in the airs. Respect to all pilots though, it's mad and awesome job.
I flew this same route with KLM from NRT (Tokyo) to AMS (Schiphol) on the 4th of November. It was the first flight of KLM on this route in 20 years. The northern lights, the Ice it was all visible. The flight time Was 14 hours and I experienced 2 sunrises in one flight! Lucky to be on that flight again in January.
For even the casual aviation enthusiast or observer of this channel, this is one extraordinary video. What a journey and thanks for taking us along for the ride. Thanks to Finnair too for whatever they did to grant your permissions and the pilots for being your hosts. I flew the Concorde once on a flight to nowhere towards the North Pole, I now understand there was no comparison with this. Well done!
I like way his videos are done. It's all about aviation. The other YT aviation bloggers, make the videos "all about them." They force trying to be interesting, but his presentations, the way they are filmed, are interesting in themselves.

This right here is one of the reasons why I am an aviation enthusiast. What an incredible machine the A350 is, to be able to take us over some of the most remote, but also some of the most beautiful areas of the planet. Not only that, we get to see natural celestial phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis, as well as celestial bodies in the sky. This is a very well produced video. Well done.
the journey was super cool but these pilots were even cooler. shout out to them for letting you in the cockpit, answering to your questions and really having friendly conversations with you. really enjoyed watching this. thank you for sharing
Thank you Gabriel for this amazing video and also thank you Finnair for letting Gabriel to do this. What a journey across the North Pole. Huge respect to our Finnair’s pilots. You guys rock 👍
Great video! I spent the better part of 17 years flying Asian routes out of Chicago and have been over the North Pole and through that area several hundred times. While I flew, 767's 777's and finally 787's on those trips, your video brings back a lot of great memories of the incredible views we saw, the fantastic people I was fortunate to work with and the amazing equipment we got to fly. I had to chuckle a bit, it sounds like the same lady we used to talk to is working at Tokyo control and clearly the ride out of Japan hasn't gotten any better re: the turbulence. Thanks again for the memories and a great video!
Looks like you were bumping around quite a bit for the first stages of the flight during that weather. Very cool to see how the pilots handle it. Their communication and organization skills are impeccable. Awesome stuff.
I can still remember the early 1980's when several European airlines were flying to Japan across the North Pole and via Anchorage. Lufthansa's 747-200 were even equipped with special polar protection suits for the crew to put on in case of an emergency landing or ditching in that icey region. Today, that sounds pretty weird, but back in those days it was a more adventurous flight than it is today. But the unique views out of the aircraft's windows were the same spectacular ones like in this video. At this point the adventure still remains the same like 40 years ago.
My wife's grandfather was employed by BOAC (and then BA) and was heavily involved in developing the original instrumentation that was required for flight near/around the Pole - I have absolutely no grounding in engineering or physics, but it still amazes me that we're standning on the shoulders of giants on a daily basis.

BOAC had a flight in 1966 that was brought down by turbulence, a tragedy. that plane and planes in general at that time did not look much different from the ones these days
@@dreamthedream8929 They actually do look similiar, but in reality they are different. For example, modern airliners like the 787 and A350 use a more optmized wing flex, which means that they can handle bigger turbulences with pretty much no structural damage
Beautiful video. I only flew Finnair twice, during my flights to and back from Helsinki for my honeymoon in 2003. Those flights happened on the MD-11. I will never forget the beautiful tri-engine plane as sat waiting for passengers to board at the gate. Such a lovely bird. Now, I can't wait to fly the Finnair A350!

What an excellent video. I don't like flying very much but I watch these type of channels as it has helped my anxiety a lot when it comes to flying. I've always had to take medication to fly but recently managed 4 flights with no medication which was a big step for me.
Thanks for sharing this. I am still a little kid, at the age of (soon) 63, when it comes to aircrafts: Excited! Specially when it comes to commercial aircrafts. This route is breathtaking and the statement "which south is the correct south" says a lot.
I flew this route last month for the first time as I work between the UK and Tokyo. I love that they gave me a little card proving I have indeed flown over the North Pole!
Nice flight. I used Finnair & Cathay for all my international flights. Great airlines. I always tell people how good Finnair is. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Love that drink with the berries..lol
That flickering star was Sirius. A couple of weeks ago on the way to Bucharest from London, my FO thought the same as you. It did look like another aircraft, nothing was on TCAS and as we headed east it rose higher in the sky and became bright white. What a great film-tempted to bid for the 350 now-makes the 320 NEO I fly look old and dated!
I took the Finnair A350 NRT-HEL recently, it's nice both in economy and business. The attendants are also liberal with food and drink, which makes the economy flight seem more luxurious than the price suggests. It's the best plane to fly on, not tiring at all.
I flew JFK-BKK nonstop on Thai when they had that flight in 2006. Flight departed midday in New York and it was July. So the entire flight (17 hours) was in daylight and flew over the North Pole. LONG flight, but really enjoyed the route.
Thank you for sharing - Finnair has a historic track record of operating unique operations. I recall my earlier experiences when Finnair operated DC8'sCGO OH-LFT/FY
@@sulevisydanmaa9981 These I think were the first ones with a gyroscope for navigating the flight close and over the North Pole. My first was in 1976 from Helsinki to Vancouver.
Hi Gabriel, Your words “super cool” covers it all. It is amazing that the airline was so gracious to allow Flightradar 24 into the cockpit of an A350! They must have checked you, personally, with a fine tooth comb! Believe me I am an avid viewer of your flights, but this one was a notch above. Many thanks to all involved who made this happen. Jim S.
Once again, a fantastic exploration of the skies and the world of aviation, with all its demands, politically, financially, and geographically. Thank you, Gabriel, FR24, and Finnair!
Well done on setting your camera properly to avoid the screens flickering! That is more difficult than many appreciate as LEDs are notoriously difficult to set shutter speed for. This obviously makes viewing far more of a pleasurable experience. As a Japan resident, whilst nothing in comparison to what the Ukrainians are going through, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made flights back to Europe a real nuisance. Coupled with the flight experience of flying thanks to Covid-19, it has become more hassle than I wish to endure. At some point, I must return to Wales to see family that I haven't seen now for almost 10 years. Thankfully, Japan has this autumn finally relaxed regulations which has lightened the burden of travel stress greatly.
"... the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made flights back to Europe a real nuisance...." - The West imposed the sanctions and wanted to damage the Russians as much as possible. So don't whine if it hurts yourself.
A small price to pay.. on the other hand I wouldn't want to fly over there in any case. If you have to emergency land there you wouldn't know if they allow you to fly again or are you kept as a bargain chip or whatever.
I remember when I was a kid in the eighties, Finnair used the same polar route with DC-10-30ER, N345HC, to avoid costly Russian airspace tariffs and mandatory stop at Soviet Union which were required at that time. It was also the very first first true non-stop flight service between Europe and Japan and foundation of Finnair's success in Europe-Asia traffic for small country and airline. N345HC was supposed to enter at service as OH-LHC but ended for US company Wells Fargo and was long term leased. Lease also required that Finnair pilots had to have FAA licences instead of europeans. ER-option from McDonnell Douglas was extremely important for Finnair, but it also prevented Finnair to come one of few customers for Boeing 747SP which was also in the table as one of options at that time.
Having experience as a pilot, air traffic controller, and dispatcher (aircraft flight planner) all by license, I can say that the CPDLC really does help oceanic routes a lot. We use it to/from Hawaii and the west coast of the US all the time. It simplifies communications quite a bit.
I was on this flight 2 days ago. Even though it was dark the whole way to Helsinki it was amazing to think of what was outside the window at some points during the flight and how far away we were from everyone and everything. It was nice being so far from everything, for a few hours at least.
Truly enjoyed this trans-Arctic flightpath video. I was down below in 1971, talking to flights which were passing overhead at 74N. There were five weather stations along the route. We were the westernmost site, on the edge of the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea. There was no commercial satcom back then, so we all relied on HF radio. Communication was spotty, and could be knocked out by solar flares and other interference. The good old days.
@@Flightradar24DotCom Oh and one more thing. My father worked for Curtiss Wright Aero. He and I both traveled widely. From DC3 to Concorde. It’s in our blood.

It's amazing how this type of navigation is now routine and all done on two engines. Prior to inertial navigation the navigator would be beavering away at his table plotting a position every 20 minutes or so. I joined BOAC in 1970 and in those days there was a periscopic sextant which was deployed in the same manner as a periscope on a submarine. I never did any transpolar flying but it must be an interesting experience both then and now.
❤ this video! as former f/a on Swissair I flew to Tokyo & back over Hong Kong, my son currently f/a @ Swiss just fluw back last week from Tokyo to Zurich over the Polar Route ❤ so thanks through this video I can expierence the feeling to fly over this route ❤

Absolutely incredible video! I cannot imagine the feeling of flying through some of the most desolate places on earth like this. Must be a really serene experience. Also giant round of applause to all the pilots for being such good sports and even being awesome enough to explain some things. Astounding video and crew!
My dad was a captain in Finnair DC10. Mauno Kirsi. Flew from Helsinki to Tokio. 12hrs or so. Slept most of the flight. Amazing person and a captain, co pilot Aaltio Hannu also amazing !
Watching this as a true Finnair fan and aviation geek from Helsinki, Finland was truly a fascinating experience. I hope that I could get the chance fly over the North Pole some day. Thank you for the great video.

This is a great video - many years ago I remember an episode of Ice Pilots NWT where they did a job taking equipment to CFB Alert at pretty much the northernmost island of Canada in one of their Lockheed Electras and they actually had to navigate south because it was north of "magnetic north". This was one hell of a trip. This was even more epic. I would seriously consider doing this because how many people have flown over the Arctic ocean.
V enjoyable. You lucked out on the night time constellations, the full moon, a wee taste of the Northern lights and got to fly over the Pole - “there should be a long pole” - vert dry lol. Watching the pilots at work - consummate professionals. Your channel is way ahead of the competition - professional, elegant, no ego and, thankfully, no over-bearing soundtrack - just the natural sounds of aviation and some relaxing beats & narration in the background 👍. Really enjoyed the Greenland series too. Keep up the good work.
Imagine if the Wright brothers could see what their invention would one day lead to. Just an absolutely incredible feat of human engineering. Hats off to the pilots - definitely has to be one of the greatest jobs in the world.
What a great video ! It takes us to a place of wander, how aviation has enabled us to make these journeys, which not so long ago, were virtually impossible. The polar communications (HF, ACARS, CPDLC) is such a great topic. HF remains a very trustworthy medium, and you covered on all the fun topics of this magical route... eg. Northern Lights, SELCAL, Navigation North South, etc. A magical video - and thank you very much again!!

You are so brave, like a money tree or a llama in cold weather. I am frightened of flying on the aeroplanes and feel a bubble in my bowels when watching your biddeos.
Great vlog as always! Wow! What a treat! Good job! ENSB/LYR is a emergency airport for cross polar traffic for aircraft up to, and including the 777. Mrs. Clinton was onboard a Boeing/FAA flight when the airport got its stamp of approval. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
After watching some of your videos I must say that these are some of the most compelling movies I've watched in RUclips for a very long time. You got me easily watching the full length, feeling that i was flying along side with you. Kudos for the amazing and warm documenting experience, with amazing image and sound quality also. It's obvious why everyone answers and includes you in their routines so heartfuly, you naturally emanate those human traits everyone relates easily with. 🙏 You are doing great my friend. Keep it up Gabriel and until the next flight, big hug from Madeira Island 🙌😉
I have never met an unattractive pilot. ❤ Thanks Gabriel, once again, brilliant insight into the amazing work these pilots do. Happy travels from downunder.
Guys, in fact I have enjoyed your very informative and gentle video trip. In the 1980’s I’m used to fly with a 747 of KLM over the North Pole, but with a stopover at Anchorage, to Narita airport. So in these days it’s Haneda and no stopover. See you soon at the 350 plane 🤓🙏

I'd struggle with this job as I hate sitting for long periods. I find it tough to do as a pax on a long haul so I dont know how long haul airliner pilots do it - and they have critical work to do at the same time! And they are exposed to more levels of cosmic radiation. Massive respect to these skilled operators. They help bring the world together!
Stanley Kubrick must have been envisioning the A350 cockpit when he came up with those wonderful spaceship flight decks in 2001:A Space Odyssey. Think of someone way ahead of his time. Great, great video. Liked, subscribed.

Yesterday I have tracked night flight from Narita to Warsaw by LOT Airlines and I couldn't help but to track it as long as I could before it vanished up north and then later showed up coming down to Europe. It was only on Flightradar but wow what an experience to see an aircraft coming back home from Japan via this magical route. I wish one day I can fly it and experience it myself
Love this video,back in the day we used to have JAL 747's and Korean Air DC-10's over the top of us in Yorkshire routing via Wick on the polar route to Anchorage.What a place to work that cockpit.
Singapore Airways used to fly over the North Pole from SGN-EWR. I image with both Russian airspace closed and rising tensions with China, Singapore flies the great circle route through Alaska and Canada. This is a flight though I want to do someday in the near future. Fly over the North Pole. Thanks for show casing that Finn Air does this route! Great video.
European airlines still regularly fly through China, to get to Japan and beyond. Tensions rose recently was due to the pushing of "limits" on both sides. Only Russian Airspace is off limits, the SIN to EWR diversion to alaska is because of this. SGN is Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City btw.
i find the lights of the displays and the darkness and sound outside so comfy. and Damn i might just take this flight just for this special route and nice little diploma they give out. maybe even get it signed like you did.
Fascinated to see what we can do , in term of technology and responsability to link people each other through this word with highiest security and care

Looks like the star you were seeing was Sirius, which is the brightest star in the sky. The reason it was blinking or pulsing in different colors is due to light of different wavelengths (or colors) being refracted in different ways through the turbulent layers of the atmosphere lower down. You can tell it is Sirius because you can see the constellation Orion up to the right from it, and the characteristic 3 stars in Orion’s Belt points roughly at Sirius.
@@06L I strongly doubt that the aircraft speed has anything to do with it. Compared to the speed of light, the plane is still essentially not moving at all.
@@06L ah, you mean more disturbances per second experienced by the thing in motion. makes sense
My guess is that it has a lot more to do with the aperture or focus of the camera changing that causing the change in apparent magnitude.
@@06L They be be some color change (scintillation) with atmospheric movement, but not the change in brightness shown in the video - that was a camera artifact. Unless there were some rapidly moving heavy clouds.
Came here to say this
The A350 is a beautiful plane
Very nice video. My dad was a DC-10 and MD-11 captain at Finnair. He flew that polar route during the cold war (he is old now, 80 years old). My mom was a stewardess at Finnair so I literally owe that company my life 😂
I'm obviously biased but I always thought Finnish pilots are the best, on the roads or in the airs. Respect to all pilots though, it's mad and awesome job.
Lucky dad. DC-10 is my favorite airplane, shame it's retired and I can't fly on it.

So proud of your father, god bless him.
I flew this same route with KLM from NRT (Tokyo) to AMS (Schiphol) on the 4th of November. It was the first flight of KLM on this route in 20 years. The northern lights, the Ice it was all visible. The flight time
Was 14 hours and I experienced 2 sunrises in one flight! Lucky to be on that flight again in January.
I would like to participate some between continental trip and feel timeline change and life up there. Maybe someday in this decade starting now :)
Thank you, this is a dream. AMS - NRT over the northpole is OTT.
For even the casual aviation enthusiast or observer of this channel, this is one extraordinary video. What a journey and thanks for taking us along for the ride. Thanks to Finnair too for whatever they did to grant your permissions and the pilots for being your hosts. I flew the Concorde once on a flight to nowhere towards the North Pole, I now understand there was no comparison with this. Well done!
I like way his videos are done. It's all about aviation. The other YT aviation bloggers, make the videos "all about them." They force trying to be interesting, but his presentations, the way they are filmed, are interesting in themselves.
Many thanks for the very kind words and I’m so glad you enjoyed it!

A perfect demonstration of why even today taking a flight isn't like catching a bus - it's a place of wonder. Thank you!
Agreed; taking a flight is one of the magic things about life
As a son of a former commercial pilot, DC10, I cannot tell you how beautiful and deeply entertaining this video was. Many thanks, sincerely.
This right here is one of the reasons why I am an aviation enthusiast. What an incredible machine the A350 is, to be able to take us over some of the most remote, but also some of the most beautiful areas of the planet. Not only that, we get to see natural celestial phenomena such as the Aurora Borealis, as well as celestial bodies in the sky.
This is a very well produced video. Well done.
indeed.
the journey was super cool but these pilots were even cooler. shout out to them for letting you in the cockpit, answering to your questions and really having friendly conversations with you. really enjoyed watching this. thank you for sharing
Thank you Gabriel for this amazing video and also thank you Finnair for letting Gabriel to do this. What a journey across the North Pole. Huge respect to our Finnair’s pilots. You guys rock 👍
Great video! I spent the better part of 17 years flying Asian routes out of Chicago and have been over the North Pole and through that area several hundred times. While I flew, 767's 777's and finally 787's on those trips, your video brings back a lot of great memories of the incredible views we saw, the fantastic people I was fortunate to work with and the amazing equipment we got to fly. I had to chuckle a bit, it sounds like the same lady we used to talk to is working at Tokyo control and clearly the ride out of Japan hasn't gotten any better re: the turbulence. Thanks again for the memories and a great video!
Looks like you were bumping around quite a bit for the first stages of the flight during that weather. Very cool to see how the pilots handle it. Their communication and organization skills are impeccable. Awesome stuff.
For sure!
I personally would have put my harness on
@@a.nelprober4971 They've got the lapbelt on and the harness could restrict reaching around to the more inconvenient buttons.
Flying Airbus at coffin corner in turbulence is not fun
@@a.nelprober4971 me too, retired pilot here
I can still remember the early 1980's when several European airlines were flying to Japan across the North Pole and via Anchorage.
Lufthansa's 747-200 were even equipped with special polar protection suits for the crew to put on in case of an emergency landing or ditching in that icey region. Today, that sounds pretty weird, but back in those days it was a more adventurous flight than it is today.
But the unique views out of the aircraft's windows were the same spectacular ones like in this video.
At this point the adventure still remains the same like 40 years ago.
I would prefer 4 engines instead of 2, to be honest

My wife's grandfather was employed by BOAC (and then BA) and was heavily involved in developing the original instrumentation that was required for flight near/around the Pole - I have absolutely no grounding in engineering or physics, but it still amazes me that we're standning on the shoulders of giants on a daily basis.

BOAC had a flight in 1966 that was brought down by turbulence, a tragedy. that plane and planes in general at that time did not look much different from the ones these days
@@dreamthedream8929 They actually do look similiar, but in reality they are different. For example, modern airliners like the 787 and A350 use a more optmized wing flex, which means that they can handle bigger turbulences with pretty much no structural damage
The A350 really is the most technologically advanced passenger aircraft. Amazing!
Beautiful video. I only flew Finnair twice, during my flights to and back from Helsinki for my honeymoon in 2003. Those flights happened on the MD-11. I will never forget the beautiful tri-engine plane as sat waiting for passengers to board at the gate. Such a lovely bird. Now, I can't wait to fly the Finnair A350!
Wow, what a cozy adventure! So far away from everything, yet carried with such grace and capability by both flight crew and aircraft tech. Incredible.
I'm imagining a nice, peaceful sleep while 34,000 feet over the arctic sea...
An incredible experience. These guys were consummate professionals in the flight deck.
The whole vibe of these videos is so good. Makes me forget I'm even watching a youtube video
Thanks a lot!

What an excellent video. I don't like flying very much but I watch these type of channels as it has helped my anxiety a lot when it comes to flying. I've always had to take medication to fly but recently managed 4 flights with no medication which was a big step for me.
With analysis podcasts and RUclips channels, I love how Flightradar has become more than just data on a map
There's something soothing and almost therapeutic about watching these professional pilots at work in their office.
Thanks for sharing this.
I am still a little kid, at the age of (soon) 63, when it comes to aircrafts: Excited! Specially when it comes to commercial aircrafts.
This route is breathtaking and the statement "which south is the correct south" says a lot.
I flew this route last month for the first time as I work between the UK and Tokyo. I love that they gave me a little card proving I have indeed flown over the North Pole!
Nice flight. I used Finnair & Cathay for all my international flights. Great airlines. I always tell people how good Finnair is. Everyone is so friendly and helpful. Love that drink with the berries..lol
That flickering star was Sirius. A couple of weeks ago on the way to Bucharest from London, my FO thought the same as you. It did look like another aircraft, nothing was on TCAS and as we headed east it rose higher in the sky and became bright white. What a great film-tempted to bid for the 350 now-makes the 320 NEO I fly look old and dated!
Agreed. It's definitely Sirius -- the line to the left along Orion's belt confirms it.
Retired now but I flew the 320 and 330. They are almost twins. This one it far more modern. Can't wait to ride in one.
I took the Finnair A350 NRT-HEL recently, it's nice both in economy and business. The attendants are also liberal with food and drink, which makes the economy flight seem more luxurious than the price suggests. It's the best plane to fly on, not tiring at all.
I was on a Lufthansa flight from Tokyo to Frankfurt recently. We also used the North Pole Route. The lights in the sky were fascinating ❤
I flew JFK-BKK nonstop on Thai when they had that flight in 2006. Flight departed midday in New York and it was July. So the entire flight (17 hours) was in daylight and flew over the North Pole. LONG flight, but really enjoyed the route.
Mind bogging, idk my brain would have gone craYyyyzy off that jetlag
@@yogotti2115 yes. After all that the 12 hour time difference. Rough but an awesome trip.
Only non-stop presently from N. America to Bangkok is from YVR, Air Canada 16 hrs, 13 hrs return, 14 hour difference. was brutal but I survived!

Hi Gabriel,
Your words “super cool” covers it all. It is amazing that the airline was so gracious to allow Flightradar 24 into the cockpit of an A350! They must have checked you, personally, with a fine tooth comb! Believe me I am an avid viewer of your flights, but this one was a notch above.
Many thanks to all involved who made this happen.
Jim S.
A350’s cockpit has to be one of the nicest
Being a commercial airline pilot has got to be one of the coolest jobs out there.😊
I really enjoy your quiet, calm and very informative videos.
Absolutely brilliant, thanks to everyone involved to let this be filmed and filming it. Fascinating.
Once again, a fantastic exploration of the skies and the world of aviation, with all its demands, politically, financially, and geographically. Thank you, Gabriel, FR24, and Finnair!
Sirius is a known star to have blinking due to its brightness. Its declination is around -16 degrees so you may start to see it around 75 degrees N
Well done on setting your camera properly to avoid the screens flickering! That is more difficult than many appreciate as LEDs are notoriously difficult to set shutter speed for. This obviously makes viewing far more of a pleasurable experience.
As a Japan resident, whilst nothing in comparison to what the Ukrainians are going through, the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made flights back to Europe a real nuisance. Coupled with the flight experience of flying thanks to Covid-19, it has become more hassle than I wish to endure. At some point, I must return to Wales to see family that I haven't seen now for almost 10 years. Thankfully, Japan has this autumn finally relaxed regulations which has lightened the burden of travel stress greatly.
"... the Russian invasion of Ukraine has made flights back to Europe a real nuisance...." - The West imposed the sanctions and wanted to damage the Russians as much as possible. So don't whine if it hurts yourself.
A small price to pay.. on the other hand I wouldn't want to fly over there in any case. If you have to emergency land there you wouldn't know if they allow you to fly again or are you kept as a bargain chip or whatever.
@@freewillydp sanctions were imposed BECAUSE of what Russia has done. We have full right to complain
I remember when I was a kid in the eighties, Finnair used the same polar route with DC-10-30ER, N345HC, to avoid costly Russian airspace tariffs and mandatory stop at Soviet Union which were required at that time. It was also the very first first true non-stop flight service between Europe and Japan and foundation of Finnair's success in Europe-Asia traffic for small country and airline. N345HC was supposed to enter at service as OH-LHC but ended for US company Wells Fargo and was long term leased. Lease also required that Finnair pilots had to have FAA licences instead of europeans. ER-option from McDonnell Douglas was extremely important for Finnair, but it also prevented Finnair to come one of few customers for Boeing 747SP which was also in the table as one of options at that time.
This is one of the most informative, most special and best produced flying video on RUclips.
Thank you!
Having experience as a pilot, air traffic controller, and dispatcher (aircraft flight planner) all by license, I can say that the CPDLC really does help oceanic routes a lot. We use it to/from Hawaii and the west coast of the US all the time. It simplifies communications quite a bit.
It’s the technology and the screens for me. It’s amazing how far the aviation industry has come. And the pilots doing a spectacular job 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I was on this flight 2 days ago. Even though it was dark the whole way to Helsinki it was amazing to think of what was outside the window at some points during the flight and how far away we were from everyone and everything. It was nice being so far from everything, for a few hours at least.
That was awesome, pilots earn every single penny
I love Finnair so much ❤ this video was truly inspiring
Every month I come here and watch this video in a dark room just like a movie.
Such a well made and documented video.
Truly enjoyed this trans-Arctic flightpath video. I was down below in 1971, talking to flights which were passing overhead at 74N. There were five weather stations along the route. We were the westernmost site, on the edge of the Arctic Ocean and Bering Sea. There was no commercial satcom back then, so we all relied on HF radio. Communication was spotty, and could be knocked out by solar flares and other interference. The good old days.
Very cool!

It's amazing how this type of navigation is now routine and all done on two engines.
Prior to inertial navigation the navigator would be beavering away at his table plotting a position every 20 minutes or so.
I joined BOAC in 1970 and in those days there was a periscopic sextant which was deployed in the same manner as a periscope on a submarine.
I never did any transpolar flying but it must be an interesting experience both then and now.
What an amazing video! As a finnish person who loves Finnair (and A350), this video was just perfect. 🤩
❤ this video! as former f/a on Swissair I flew to Tokyo & back over Hong Kong, my son currently f/a @ Swiss just fluw back last week from Tokyo to Zurich over the Polar Route ❤ so thanks through this video I can expierence the feeling to fly over this route ❤
Easily one of the best aviation videos on RUclips today 🙌🏽

I love the white noise throughout the cockpit shots.
Great that you were able to join the Pilots in the cockpit! Very interesting!
I am terrified of flying and plane videos full me with anxiety but this video makes me want to fly this route!!
The more you know about flying the less you fear.
Amazing cockpit on the A350!
True
Absolutely incredible video! I cannot imagine the feeling of flying through some of the most desolate places on earth like this. Must be a really serene experience. Also giant round of applause to all the pilots for being such good sports and even being awesome enough to explain some things. Astounding video and crew!
This is such a fascinating and soothing video to watch.
My dad was a captain in Finnair DC10. Mauno Kirsi. Flew from Helsinki to Tokio. 12hrs or so. Slept most of the flight. Amazing person and a captain, co pilot Aaltio Hannu also amazing !
This is amazing!!! I love the Airbus A350. Keep it up! 🤩🤩🤩
Watching this as a true Finnair fan and aviation geek from Helsinki, Finland was truly a fascinating experience. I hope that I could get the chance fly over the North Pole some day. Thank you for the great video.

A small moment of proud been Finnish.
My favourite European airline and plane, the A350 is just beautiful. Flew with them to Bangkok and Seoul this year, excellent service.
How is the noise inside the airplane? Is it as quiet as they say compared to a 747-800 or 777? Did they already have the dimmable windows?
Finnair is the GOAT (I'm from Finland)
This is a great video - many years ago I remember an episode of Ice Pilots NWT where they did a job taking equipment to CFB Alert at pretty much the northernmost island of Canada in one of their Lockheed Electras and they actually had to navigate south because it was north of "magnetic north". This was one hell of a trip. This was even more epic. I would seriously consider doing this because how many people have flown over the Arctic ocean.
V enjoyable. You lucked out on the night time constellations, the full moon, a wee taste of the Northern lights and got to fly over the Pole - “there should be a long pole” - vert dry lol. Watching the pilots at work - consummate professionals. Your channel is way ahead of the competition - professional, elegant, no ego and, thankfully, no over-bearing soundtrack - just the natural sounds of aviation and some relaxing beats & narration in the background 👍. Really enjoyed the Greenland series too. Keep up the good work.
Hi Gabriel. Love your "flight deck" videos. That was WAY COOL !!
Thank you!
Imagine if the Wright brothers could see what their invention would one day lead to. Just an absolutely incredible feat of human engineering. Hats off to the pilots - definitely has to be one of the greatest jobs in the world.
What a great video ! It takes us to a place of wander, how aviation has enabled us to make these journeys, which not so long ago, were virtually impossible. The polar communications (HF, ACARS, CPDLC) is such a great topic. HF remains a very trustworthy medium, and you covered on all the fun topics of this magical route... eg. Northern Lights, SELCAL, Navigation North South, etc. A magical video - and thank you very much again!!

You are so brave, like a money tree or a llama in cold weather. I am frightened of flying on the aeroplanes and feel a bubble in my bowels when watching your biddeos.
Great vlog as always! Wow! What a treat! Good job! ENSB/LYR is a emergency airport for cross polar traffic for aircraft up to, and including the 777. Mrs. Clinton was onboard a Boeing/FAA flight when the airport got its stamp of approval. Keep up the good work. Be safe!
This is the best documentary I watched yet:)
Great video, thanks for sharing! I love flying aboard the A350 the longer the flight the better I love it! ✈️
After watching some of your videos I must say that these are some of the most compelling movies I've watched in RUclips for a very long time.
You got me easily watching the full length, feeling that i was flying along side with you.
Kudos for the amazing and warm documenting experience, with amazing image and sound quality also.
It's obvious why everyone answers and includes you in their routines so heartfuly, you naturally emanate those human traits everyone relates easily with. 🙏
You are doing great my friend.
Keep it up Gabriel and until the next flight, big hug from Madeira Island 🙌😉
Thank you so much RubenGT!
i love these videos, they give me training for commercial msfs flights :)
I have never met an unattractive pilot. ❤
Thanks Gabriel, once again, brilliant insight into the amazing work these pilots do. Happy travels from downunder.
Awesome flight deck video. Interesting to see this longhaul flight through polar areas. Keep these video's coming!
Many thanks to share such a great report !!
Guys, in fact I have enjoyed your very informative and gentle video trip.
In the 1980’s I’m used to fly with a 747 of KLM over the North Pole, but with a stopover at Anchorage, to Narita airport. So in these days it’s Haneda and no stopover. See you soon at the 350 plane 🤓🙏
What a fantastic experience. Thanks for taking us along for the ride!!

Great experience, fantastic aircraft, nice crew and a superb story. Nice job guys 👏👏👏
I'd struggle with this job as I hate sitting for long periods. I find it tough to do as a pax on a long haul so I dont know how long haul airliner pilots do it - and they have critical work to do at the same time! And they are exposed to more levels of cosmic radiation. Massive respect to these skilled operators. They help bring the world together!
Stanley Kubrick must have been envisioning the A350 cockpit when he came up with those wonderful spaceship flight decks in 2001:A Space Odyssey. Think of someone way ahead of his time.
Great, great video.
Liked, subscribed.
Really AWESOME video.....Thank you for sharing. I love your channel.
Thanks Gabriel this was one of your best travel videos so far. I enjoyed it too the max. Hat's of to the amazing crew for letting us share this rare opportunity. 👍

Yesterday I have tracked night flight from Narita to Warsaw by LOT Airlines and I couldn't help but to track it as long as I could before it vanished up north and then later showed up coming down to Europe. It was only on Flightradar but wow what an experience to see an aircraft coming back home from Japan via this magical route. I wish one day I can fly it and experience it myself
One of the coolest videos I’ve seen for av geeks, idk how you got to sit on the flight deck of the a350.
Love this video,back in the day we used to have JAL 747's and Korean Air DC-10's over the top of us in Yorkshire routing via Wick on the polar route to Anchorage.What a place to work that cockpit.
Singapore Airways used to fly over the North Pole from SGN-EWR. I image with both Russian airspace closed and rising tensions with China, Singapore flies the great circle route through Alaska and Canada. This is a flight though I want to do someday in the near future. Fly over the North Pole. Thanks for show casing that Finn Air does this route! Great video.
European airlines still regularly fly through China, to get to Japan and beyond. Tensions rose recently was due to the pushing of "limits" on both sides.
Only Russian Airspace is off limits, the SIN to EWR diversion to alaska is because of this.
SGN is Saigon/Ho Chi Minh City btw.
@@GWT1m0 Oops, thanks for the correction. I should have looked it up. Thanks also for the update about Chinese airspace.
Love your videos - great content, great editing and good narrative. Keep it up guys!
That was an amazing video Gabriel, totally immersed in it.
Thank you!
i find the lights of the displays and the darkness and sound outside so comfy. and Damn i might just take this flight just for this special route and nice little diploma they give out. maybe even get it signed like you did.
Cool. As a Finn, and owning some Finnair shares my only comment is: Torille! :)
Fascinated to see what we can do , in term of technology and responsability to link people each other through this word with highiest security and care
Thought the earth was flat 😉😉
Of course it is, that is why they can't do the south pole... 🤣
Yea.. of cause it is.. but north pole is the flat part.. Look at the UN logo.
@@Nath4n1977 Nobody can ignore the UN logo ;)
It is flat,except the mountains! 😂🤣
😆😆😆
This was such a cool video. I'm insanely envious of your getting to ride in the cockpit for (most of) that flight!
Thank you such a great video.
Thank for this theoughly faschinating report! Enjoyed it at 110%!
