- I trust that the Boeing 757 is an avgeek favorite, and the B757-300 being the rarest one even more so, so here you go; a ride on United’s B757-300!
We’re flying between Houston and Dallas on one of the only 55 B757-300 ever build. Most of them are flying in the US so once I was there for work I ensured to take a day trip on this plane.
I booked the ticket in First (this kind of product is called Premium Economy where I live, but ok..) and ensured to get the seat closest to the mighty Rolls Royce RB211 engines.
This has been one of my favorite planes since a kid as I used to fly it often on Iberia between Barcelona-Madrid and Amsterdam-Madrid.
A shoutout to purser Chuck for making my day on this already special occasion. I had a perfect day!
I hope you all enjoy the ride and we’ll meet again next video. Let me know in the comments what you think about the B757!
Enjoy!
Today we are showcasing you the following flight:
From: Houston George Bush Intercontinental, Texas, The United States of America
To: Denver International Airport, Colorado, The United States of America
Flight Number: UA 1049
Aircraft Type: Boeing B757-300
Registration: N57857

Purser Chuck must be given full marks for providing a awesome service,thing's like that will give people a great impression of a airline & it's staff👍
This is why it is important for people to choose to do something that the passionately love over money. I do what I love and it feels natural, like a hobby. And when you enjoy your job everyone else around you is happy. It’s a circle of positivity.
But hate your job, do it with dislike and others around you will be frustrated.
So yes, good on Chuck for choosing a job that he is passionate about. 10’s across the board!
Boeing should have continued to develop and improve this aircrft with new engines and better fuel efficiency, They did'nt do and as result will lose market share to Airbus with the A321 NEO/ LR and LXR, these are the only options available to airlines for replacing the ageing 757...
I could not agree more. I’ve said this exact thing so many times.
They actually had plans to replace the 737 with a shortened 757-100 but no US carriers signed up for it, so the project was shelved
There wasn't a big deamnd for the 757. And production was more expensive than profit. I know they could know be a bestseller, but everyone have bad decisions. We have to wait and see what happens. Oberal, the 737-10max is not selling that bad which more than 1,000 orders. The second best sell max. We have to wait
@@sergiolaurencio7534 weather there was demand or not it should have been in production. For cargo or just as experimental. You know that airbus has a rival to the 757 so why not at least attempt to put a product out there that would compete with the A321. It was a poor decision and the Max isn’t off to a great start
@@KingSosa97it’s those long and thin routes along with versatility to do shorter or medium length domestic flights where the demand is. Having the long and thin capability is critical to serving numerous destinations efficiently, notably on the pond hoppers. The 737 can’t quite pull that off as it was designed in the 1960s for shorter distances and small loads. Boeing just needed an answer in the 200-seater market but doesn’t have one. Thus A321neo/LR/XLR is a monopoly. The joke’s on Boeing.
Classic aircraft! Love the engine sound! Thanks for sharing!
Stunning sound indeed ! A big thanks to you for watching 🙏🏼
@@TheLayoverAviationAlso, this is the largest and longest single-aisle aircraft anyone has flown on.
I flew the 757-200 back in the 90's, British Airways LHR-CPH, really loved it!! :-)
What a rocket, right?!
I've never heard an airline make a dedicated announcement for people who are going for a connecting flight. More and more airlines should do this!
That was a very nice touch indeed! I am glad it wasn’t me though as people who are not Spanish can’t really pronounce my name well😂
I’ve had the honour and privilege to fly the iconic 757 from YYZ to KEF and back on Icelandair. It definitely had newer and fresher interiors than United with a good leg room and very pleasant cabin crew.
I read somewhere that the B757-300’s will stay a little longer and be retrofitted. But yes, Icelandair has some of the finest cabins of all the B757’s in the sky!
Thanks for watching! 😊
nice video! love the 757
B757 and MD11’s have always been m favourites ❤️
Thank you for sharing your flight here. I loved flying in this cabin seating that you were in here. Yes, the 757-300s came from the merger with Continental Airlines. United mainly had the 757-200s and those are very nice work horses. I have flown the 757-200s to Hawaii from LAX and I have loved the First-Class seating on those flights. Also, United was doing the "PS" Service on the 757s with a three-class cabin on their trans con flights. some years ago. Now a days, the two section Polaris Class/First/Business Class section is used on their flights and they are very nice. I love the 757s and they will be missed when the airlines decide to retire them but for right now, the airlines still have them flying some great routes.
I hope you are able to go to the United Club or the Polaris Lounge when you continue to travel. Many travelers have become members with American Airlines membership as well. And all of us who have American Express cards go to the lounges as well to avoid the people crowds. Hahaha, you made me laugh when you made the comment about your breakfast sandwiches with the larger bagel bread!!! That was nice!! Hahaha!
It's crazy just how big of an industry Americans have for aviation as a single county
I was thinking the same as I was editing this video… nuts!
Over 50% of the video is the airport and outside of the plane. As someone researching first class cabins - man - I've never ever seen that stuff before. It was so cool to see an airport. And the outside of a plane. And the luggage dude on the pavement. Very helpful.
Thanks! I like to show an experience through my eyes.
Fellow Avgeek here. I loved the comments at the bottom. Also, to find out about the cutback power to thrust climb. Then the slow cruise at 4K to avoid landing flights. I have pondered that for many years. I too love the 757 and changed my last homebound trip from HNL to fly 757 via SFO-IAH. I was disappointed at the thrust setting the pilot used in HNL, I wanted a rocket take off but he just coasted up into the air. Guess to save fuel and wear and tear on the engines. i would love to land and take-off in the 757 in Aspen.
The Boeing 757-300 is the largest and longest single-aisle aircraft anyone has flown on. Named the "flying pencil", It has 2 engine options; The Rolls Royce RB211 turbofan jet engines or the Pratt & Whitney PW2000 engines. Both of these engines make the Boeing 757-300 very vibrant during taxiing, takeoff and landing, and even when it's taxiing to the gate. During takeoff the sound of these 2 engines are awesome and classic, like they're even roaring like a lion. It has a range of 6,287 km, while the Boeing 757-300ER has a range of a whopping 11,287 km; making it the second-longest flying aircraft in the Boeing 757 family, and the second-longest flying single-aisle aircraft anyone has flown on. Only 37 of them were built. The only airlines that use the Boeing 757-300ER are Delta, United, Aer Lingus and Icelandair. Delta is the largest operator of the Boeing 757-300ER.
thanks a lot for all the info, loved it!!! I am sure many others will appreciate ❤️
@@TheLayoverAviationYou, too. The max operating speed for a Boeing 757-200 or 300 is 659 mph (1,061 km/h)/573 kts/Mach 0.86. That's faster than the max operating speed of a Boeing 767-200, 300 or 400.
Cool Video and nice work I like your
videos hope you reach 100K soon!
Very glad you like the content, thanks!! I hope for 100k soon too but a lot of work ahead 😜
Greetings from Luxembourg my friend!! And what a great suprise from you! The LOOOOOONG B757-300
What a awesome video! I wish to fly on 753 some day! Amazing engine sound!!
Enjoyed my stay again!😊
Wow great vlog Alex, as usual, It’s so nice to see that some airlines still fly the 757 to me it’s an icon towards aviation.
And I hope you get to fly it also Ali! It feels like a rocket. The next most similar thing is an empty B777-200LR. Hard to describe the feeling!
Love your positive attitude, and your camera work and editing is second to none. But the Vickers VC10 was a single aisle airliner that had the 757 beat before the 757 was even a sketch on the back of a napkin. Hot and high performance: check. Transatlantic range: check. Where it beat the 757 was the greaser landings and how it rode chop. And if you were in First it was quieter because the engines were at the back. Of course accountants absolutely hated it, but they also much prefer a 739ER to a 752 so their views don't count. Keep up the great work.
I absolutely loved the 4 RB211s on PIA's (ex-Cathay) B747-300s. It used to be a high-powered musical!
I remember spotting them in Manchester, what a beautiful music indeed! Great aircraft!
@@TheLayoverAviation Yeah MAN was a significant PIA hub during the 2000s. PIA used to fly there from KHI, LHE and ISB for onward flights to JFK, YYZ, ORD and IAH. Sadly the party has now completely ended :(
Cool Video and nice work I like tour videos hope you reach 100K soon!
Never fail to make me smile with these videos! Thanks bro :)
Very glad to paint a smile all the way there. Thanks for writing!
I miss riding the -300 on my trips home from SFO-HNL with UAL. After the PW engines on the 777-200; the 757-300’s engine hums are my favorite
I haven’t flown the B777 with PW engines in ages.. I’ll have to try! But I really hate that Business Class on the old UA B777’s..
Never getting bored of your videos!!
I used to work in IAH C lobby. The first Denver flight usually turns into DEN-SFO & than turns to SFO-HNL; I used to always catch that HNL bound 757-300
Really? That’ a long flight in this “First Class”.. I don’t mind 2 hours but more is kind of a waste of money.
But looking forward to visit HNL! Thanks for writing!
עnice old school video Alex!!
gotta love those spools sound
on the ground..:D
I love the 753!
cant wait for the next video
I love the sky pencils. Especially the 300 version. You can deplane so quickly.
Loading times are super long on those with 200+ passengers and one aisle.
omg you made my day very special thank you so much for doing my request ❤❤
There you go. But no more United for some months!
Enjoy😎
Hey bro. Thnks for a wonderful video. Never travelled in a 757...nice to see this...saw the error on the catalogue :)....thnks again for this trip..
I hope you get to travel on it before it’s late.. They’ll be around for some more years in the US but time goes so fast.. And if you love planes it’s a perfect one. It feels like a muscle car.
Thansk for being here yet another week!
Omggg...you were in my city Houston.
I visit quite often actually.. Perhaps 2-3 times a year.
9:50 flying a 757 or another classic aircraft from Boeing mades me sentimental. It reminds you what an iconic manufacturer Boeing used to be before they merged with Mcdonell Douglas which resulted in less quality and cuts everywhere. 18:07 as an Iranian who traveled there often, Iranian pilots are also extremely good at landings. But for a good reasons, due to the sanctions every airworthy plane is valuable. So they treat everyone of them very carefully.
757❤
I know!! ❤️ ✈️
Im gonna watch this 10 times
Yes you better do! So much asking for it🤪
That was a great report alex l never been on united l am stuck with south west because my sister likes that you can seat wherever you like the service was great cheers jerry
Hi Alex, thanks for a great trip report and memories. I was flying on United's B757-300 in 2013 from SFO to Las Vegas after arriving on Lufthansa A340-600 from FRA. I am still hoping to see you in Australia one day. Cheers
Wow, you scored two great planes in one trip, well done!
I’m looking towards to Australia for a future trip but I can’t find all the spare days I need to go😂 Doing my best!
Thanks for writing Andrew!
Thanks for sharing your amazing trip reports
3:46 and those classic bulbs are still better for your eyes. Especially the reading lights at night, do not understand why they began using those cold coloured LEDs.
GE90 is GE90, no one can beat it
I know, true, but this one is on a good second place!
Wonderful video mate!
Nothing like boarding a narrowbody through 2L. I think there are plenty in the Seattle area who wished they held on for a 757MAX.
Delta has a somewhat more updated interior on their 757s (e.g. IFE and USB charging).
😂Nothing better than two Trip Repirt in One wk.😂Yep always great to fly😂Me the biggest smile hey in my few trips the best kuss haha😂.It was a liat landing for real LOL.Great TRIP REPORT AS USUIAL❤❤.
13:13 The mistake made by United on the illustration of its 757-300s are on the engines. While United’s 753s use RB211 engines, the engines drawn on the magazine seem to be another 757’s engine option PW2000 which United did not go for.
Well done!! Few people have that good knowledge 😉
What a great video 👍. Brings back memory of an AA flight I took about 25 years ago from Tampa to Miami. Usually an ATR 72, the equipment change was a 757. The 757 had its spoiler up for most of the 35 minute flight.
I also respectfully disagree with the 757 being the greatest single aisle aircraft. That title goes to 707/720. The regular spooling up of those low bypass JT3D engine during taxi was heavenly. Just the sound alone during the takeoff roll added 20 knots to the experience. 😀
Cant wait for your next upload
Hey Alex, Glad you had a good flight on this 757! United has been decent most of my flights, Except when they canceled my flight a day before out of MEX :( Anyways.. I also think their FC food is decent in most cases too. I flew one of their 767-400 from San Juan to Newark some time back and that was a super nice flight I must say! The last time I was in Houston was almost a year ago! Flew in on JetBlue and Out on Singapore Airlines A350 to Man Then to SIN in their buis class! Anymore U.S. Airlines coming up soon? Thanks again for sharing :)
The food in United is very decent! I’ve had some great meals there. I didn’t even expect anything so it was a pleasant surprise on this flight. I’ve seen your video on the SQ A350, what a great experience! I hope to take that flight myself too. I’ll post a video soon from Dubai to Washington and from San Francisco to Doha. I’ll also fly to JFK next month but don’t know if I’ll film as I have to rest on that flight.
I’ll also visit my dreaded Mex hotel again😅
@@TheLayoverAviation Wow you've got some Long haul videos coming up NIce! Hope some were Business class ;) I won't be flying for a bit :( but have a bunch of Travel around Europe later near fall! That Mex hotels no Bueno! But better than fighting traffic from Mex city for an hour.. Can't wait to see your long haul flight videos!
I missed the chance to fly on one of these birds just a few days ago. UA recently reintroduced its DXB service (I'm just down E11, right by AUH) but changed it to an earlier departure time out of EWR to where I was uncomfortable with the amount of time left to make the connection from the 757s arrival time, what, with the state of air travel in the US right now. I'm going to try again this November on my next DXB-EWR trip.
Flying on the unique 757 on United was surely an amazing experience! I would really hope to see a tripereport of Etihad's A320 economy in the future as it would be great and the first time on this channel!
An amazing experience indeed!
I should be flying the Etihad A320 after tomorrow, but I don’t know if I’ll film as it’s after an insanely long work journey. I’ll do my best. But even if I film it it won’t be released immediately, I’ve got a big backlog!
Have a nice one!
@@TheLayoverAviation I request you to do it as I'm flying on Etihad A320 so I'd really love if you do it!!
I badly wanna go on a holiday
Don’t we all 😂
I just returned from 3 weeks off and it felt like 3 days..
Thanks for this video! I was always wondering how the inside of the United B753 looked as I was almost sure it didn't have the IFE luxury unlike the 757-224. About 13:06, is the mistake that the picture shows the Pratt and Whitney 2000 engine attached to the UA 757 instead of what it is supposed to be: a Rolls Royce RB211-535E4B-37?
Fly the Delta version of the 757-300, it’s much more updated with IFE’s and the Boeing sky luggage bins up above
I’ve seen on video’s, it looks much nicer indeed!
Great video! Whenever I fly on a 757, I think that Boeing made such a terrible mistake by not redeveloping it, rather than designing the umpteenth iteration of the 737 and all its compromises.
What a such amazing trip report. I really enjoyed it! My last time on a 757 was on 2009 on US Airways 757-200 (no winglets). And I think it's on channel. Also a 2004 flight ob American Airlines. Both SJU-PHL routes. It such an amazing aircraft. I hope to be on another one very soon! I subscribbed to your channel because it's awesome!
Nice
13:12 the plane in the magazine has PW2000s, not RB211s.
Yeeeey we have a winner!!! 👏 🥇
@@TheLayoverAviation I wish they were still flying the pw powered planes
Great video. Transcontinental domestic flights in first (e.g., LAX EWR) grant you United Club Lounge access.
It would indeed be a bestseller right know z but back them it was a not money maker and expensive. All in all, the 737 make more sense to make new as it really is 20 to 1 when you compare to the 757. Also both have the same cabine with. And honestly the max would almost sell as good if it wasn't because of the accident. It would probably be almost 7,000 order probably or more I think! But mistakes are mistakes. And united, well that another tale. Excellent videos like always 👍
Thanks for the video. Those are rare birds and indeed, this is my first time watching a 757 review. Ethiopian operated some, then converted them to freighters. I do not know if they are still part of ET's fleet. Astral Aviation operates two 757-200F. Of course, the most popular 757 is Trump Force One.
Great vid man! What did you use to record with if I may ask?
Thanks!! iPhone 13 Pro max.
Don’t forget to review royal air maroc b787-9 it would be a nice review!
I’ll try to do so! It’s in my scope.
@@TheLayoverAviation that would be interesting and amazing!
Not the 90’s printer😂😂
Hey there!
You don't feel much in the way of takeoff and landing with the 757. It's such a behemoth.
You made me miss the plane!
@@TheLayoverAviation Whut
Awesome thing about today's technology keep old birds like this flying. Suppose to be out of service. Year 2025.
I think they will now update them and keep them longer around. There isn’t any plane it can be replaced with..
My husband and my daughter they both fly for UA.😊
Nice! So I guess you get some nice staff travel perks😋
Nice video, how do you know all of the departures and stuff of all of your surrounding airplane? Congrats on 30k btw
Thanks a lot for the wishes!
So I know thanks to plane tracking apps, there is plenty out there, such as flightradar or flightaware.
have a nice one!
Thanks!
Absolutely perfect. At that time, Continental Airlines and United Airlines had a big merger. Continental Airlines is all aircraft transported by United Airlines. I find it a bit strange because these seats are not IFE. Why is that? It is on the internet cell phone. Can I ask you? I know something about video editing. Which APP for video editing ?
I’m flying first class with United in October. I’ve flown only one other time first class with Alaskan airlines and it was wonderful. I’ve heard United has retrofitted some of their planes. But, it won’t be completed until 2026? Was your first class experience with United worth it?
I have flown almost every Boeing aircraft except the B757 as they have been quite hard to spot.
And it’s precisely the best one that’s a must fly!!!! I hope you still get the chance!
@TheLayoverEatFly yep definitely would want to fly. You should try it with Delta too as they got much modern interiors compared to United
3:44 Overspeed
The good thing is that United is retrofitting almost all of their domestic aircraft with IFE screens over the next couple of years so hopefully the 757‘s will be able to be a part of that! Also what were the other options for breakfast?
I always like the 757 so much,not only flying them as passenger but also dispatching them as ground staff, and the -300 series is just so sleek and elegant, a shame they are being replaced... About the mistake in the picture of the inflight magazine i´m puzzled. is it maybe that the after wing emergency doors are sown bigger than they are? As always a great video. Greetings from Madrid!!
Do you think they'll start adding IFE's on airlines in the US? Airlines like Oman Air have added IFE's even on 40 minute flights to Dubai.
I believe these B757 will be retrofitted. It’s just been announced.
@@TheLayoverAviation Oh okay I see. Thanks for the amazing review btw.
hey bro have you heard of the new fingerprint system in kuwait airport? there is also reservations for the fingerprint, and if you dont do your fingerprint you wont be able to travel.
Can you do a video on kuwait to dubai? day 1 of asking
I live in Houston
Always preferred working the 757 over the 319/320321. The performance of the 757 is hard to beat that’s where I feel indifferent when it comes to the XLR.
I personally feel the XLR can’t be a permanent replacement but a solution to a temporary problem. Past 2030 these things are gonna be certified geriatrics….
Shame Boeing did not offer an update to the 757 program. Updated avionics, engines. Let me be quiet nice video……
En el siguiente reporte de vuelo podrás hacer desde abudabi a seoul korea en etihad boeing 787 900 desde Bolivia cochabamaba 🇧🇴
El siguiente vuelo es con IndiGo de Mumbai a Estambul en el nuevo B777-300ER
Awesome information thanks for sharing. I m not fan of 757 /767 aircraft loving the 747 queen and newer aircraft. Still don’t understand why United and delta still operates them. Tell me something difference between 737-800 and 737- 900 ? Pls
The B737-900 is a couple of meters longer!
The ER variant can even fly further
12:04 your neighbour Andrew seems to be short of Rilatine 😅
I didn’t even notice! That explains a lot though😂
kidding.
18:07-18:32 US airlines often employ former air force pilots, could that be the reason for both observations?
Air force pilots tend to have much rougher inputs and I can usually notice that! But in this case I know the captain was an air force veteran, African American guy. I managed to have a short chat with him!
good to see Chobani Greek Yogurt...
It’s good, but a bit common, or not?
Please review uganda airline’s airbus a330 neo
I hope to fly it soon on my next trip to Uganda!
First
Never catch any sleep, do you? 😃
@@TheLayoverAviation Fantastic video! I certainly want to fly a Boeing 757, however i think there are none in Asia. I have also never seen a passenger 757 physically. What is there for the next video?
ECON+ is not a class but seats with extra room so United operates their 753 with 2 class configuration First and Economy
Yes true, that’s mentioned, no?
When did United get rid of the IFE’s on their 757’s?
2018. They plan to add it back, although I suspect that the 753s will get it after most of the Airbuses and 737s get it
I beg to differ but A321 and A321XLR are better than 757. But service of united is a different thing. I think it is the best comparatively in usa
I mean better performance wise. The newer A321’s have nothing up to it. But yes, being new and green wise the A321 beats it.
earlyyy
hey Abdur!!
No sweet treats for the crew this time? 😢
I’m not sure… Most of the time I bring but I don’t film it all the time.
too bad you found IAH grim and the food overpriced. we still welcome you.
There are better airports out there.. But I’ll continue to visit Houston!
Thanks for writing.
Can you do a trip report from Delhi to Toronto on board air India's Boeing 777-300er?
I mostly travel for work, so that’s a hard trip for me to be on. But I’ll try the Air India B777-300ER some time!
@@TheLayoverAviation sure no pressure
I visit denver colorado
❄️
He says "american in his experience are the best kissers on landings and they also use full reverse thrust a lot vs the rest" thats because he doesnt fly with Ryanair 😔😏
Ah yes, they use reversers too but don’t kiss!
@@TheLayoverAviation From my experience they always provide a smooth ride and landing but yea its been commonly made standard they cant land properly, I mean I like to do planespotting and believe me I see them do better landings than other manjor airlines or at least here in Madrid.

Hello how are you are you fine you are lucky to travel to every country but I can't even see with my two eyes but I want to talk to you😊
Thanks a lot my friend! It was my childhood dream to travel everywhere so I did everything possible to make it come true.
Thanks for watching!
Review Ba or KLM again
BA is booked! 😊
When's the facereveal? :)
Once I quit from my current job😅
I’m already a representative for a big brand so to travel around and rave about other airlines or companies isn’t a good idea😀
bro how is this first class? it looks like economy class
That’s how they call domestic premium economy in the US😂
Was Chuck an “engineer” as you say, or was he an A&P mechanic? Mechanics are not engineers. I am a 35 year A&P mechanic, and I am not a college educated engineer. If you (wrongly) call mechanics engineers, then what do you call college educated and credentialed people who have engineering degrees?
Reminds me of 9/11

Your intro song spoils otherwise exellent video. Please , remove it .
the vast majority prefers it, I’ve only received 2 complaints in the past 2 years, on of them is yours.. So it stays for now.
@@TheLayoverAviation Now you have 3 complaints
hopefully they make a 757X
I hope so too!
I hope the same thing, too.
Cool Video and nice work I like tour videos hope you reach 100K soon!
Thanks again!
