That is true - and I'm saying that as a Swiss! Switzerland's nature would offer such great potential to shoot a fun and unique video!

@@retokurmann3 I'm half Swiss too and lived there for 34 years.

No, Rwy 10 was in use that day, towards the East, which is relatively rare.

Close. N774UA was their first, also being delivered in March of 1996. N774UA was also the 2nd-ever 777 ever built! N775UA was Line Number 22 and N776UA, the plane I was on, rolled out as #27.

@@retokurmann3 Very cool. Thanks for the info. I remember when United was flying it around and showing it off. I was standing in line to see the 777 at SFO and I happened to be standing behind a guy who had just won $16 million dollars in the lottery a week before. It might have been this aircraft. It must have been this aircraft since I bid out of SFO in June of '96.

@@rael5469 Wow, what a cool story - thank you for sharing! Let's agree on that it was likely one of the 3 aircraft I have mentioned. Usually the first delivered aircraft gets used for promotional stuff like that. And $16m certainly got this guy many, many 777 flights;)

@@retokurmann3 We called him the $16 million dollar man, after the TV show. He hired in the same group as me. He was in the pipeline to become an airline pilot. Nice guy. Couldn't happen to a nicer guy.

Will try, but don't have a flight planned on it for now.

@@retokurmann3 ok

Close to fully booked. Lots of passengers connecting in Zurich to LX 146 to Delhi.

Sorry, buddy. I have lost these older files due to an issue with my archive storage back then. Nowadays I backup everything multiple times.

@@retokurmann3 I wish I would want to meet all the characters so bad instead of I can’t go on scary rides like Tower of Terror and Rock n Roller Coaster because I’m afraid of heights.🥺

Sorry, no idea and I'm unable to Shazam it. Try reaching out to DL directly via one of their social media outlets.

@@retokurmann3 okay thanks for your help :)

No, smooth sailing and thanks to the middle seat remaining vacant, it was actually quite enjoyable!

@@retokurmann3did you wear a mask on the plane or the airport

@@Ios18.1I still mask up in certain situations, such as during boarding or in crowded indoor spaces.

@@retokurmann3 are masks still required at the airport and the airplane

@@Ios18.1No, at this time, they're no longer mandatory anywhere, but still recommended.

I'm asking myself the same question;) Thank goodness there's long, cold showers and nice hotel rooms waiting:)

Neue Low-Budget-Destinationsanzeige;)

@@retokurmann3 🤣

It feels like you're getting a concussion during startup.

Ja, allerdings nur sehr eingeschränkt.

Ah, interessant. Bin gerade am buchen und auf einigen Seat Maps wird diese Reihe als 'rot' makiert weil es dort laut (wegen Küche und WC's) sein soll und halt der Sitz nicht verstellbar sein soll. Ansonsten sieht er da in der Ecke recht gemütlich in deinem Video und die Aussicht ist auch optimal.@@retokurmann3

Die 777 ist so oder so eine Dröhnröhre und die gesamte LX Economy auf diesem Flugzeug eine Zumutung aufgrund der engen Schulter-an-Schulter-Sitze, die zudem noch hart gepolstert sind. Da spielt's dann auch keine Rolle mehr, ob man neben einem WC ist, vor allem nicht auf einem 12-Std-Tagflug wie dem Kurs nach LAX. Solche Eggeli-Sitzplätze sind die am wenigsten schlechte Option, man kann sich da einigermassen einrichten mit Kissen etc und hat keinen störenden Hintermann. Richtung USA zudem immer rechts sitzen, da die Sonne immer von links in die Kabine brennt. Rechts kann man die Aussicht geniessen und das Fenster heizt sich nicht unangenehm auf.

Denke ich auch. Hat man seine eigene kleine Ecke. Bei mir werdens 13 Stunden Nachtflug, Singapore-Zürich. Ich pack mal die Schlafmaske ein. Danke nochmal für die Infos!@@retokurmann3
