I took my firs redeye flight out of LAX in June of last year. It was originally scheduled to depart at 12:55AM, but we were delayed for some reason. We departed at around 1:30AM and arrived in Charlotte-Douglas International at approximately a iittle after 8AM their time. From there, my final destination was Melbourne,Florida (MLB). It was American Airlines. A lot of firsts here! My first flight out of LAX ever,my first time ever using American Airlines,my first time flying into Charlotte International, and my first that I flew into Melbourne,Florida Airport! Charlotte Airport is absolutely awesome itself! They are like LAX. Takeoffs and landings literally every few minutes. Om my way back home to LAX, we were late in taking off from there due to heavy air traffic around the airport. But somehow we managed to arrive in LAX on time!
There's a love/hate relationship with the 321s. Because they're so long (greater arm and moment), and heavy (over 200,000 lbs.), and possess such a high aspect ratio wing, they ride very well - smooth and gentle through turbulence. But that short wing gives them a crappy climb and cruise performance. You're lucky to make it to FL350 on a continental crossing before you have to start down for approach and landing.
I have a Gemini200 American Airlines A321 which was a former US Airways aircraft. I had hoped to see the tail number to see of match my AA model. Great video though.
I guess you guys didn't consider the 757 before the merger. What would they have bought from a Boeing anyway? 737s? I don't think they liked 737s and I can see why. I hope they don't retire their 757s to aggressively because I hate to see my favorite go.
LA to NYC is scheduled at 5.5 hrs, but actual flight time is usually just shy of 5 hrs. Actual flight time from NYC to LA is closer to 5.5 hrs. Depends in part on how strong the prevailing winds are in either direction, which is hard to predict.
By far the best audio of any aviation video.
I don't know why, but I just love the humming of an A319/20/21
This audio makes me feel just like I'm there.
The Airbus will never cease as my favorite plane
What a stunning landing man! :D Epic video!
Awesome Video !! Great camera work and audio during the flight.

I would suggest you look into Delta, their planes are much much nicer than AA
I love the plane and sound of the Airbuses
This dude came back the day before i was leaving to Los Angeles from Charlotte for Disneyland as my graduation gift
I miss watching airplanes ✈️ take off and land!! 😔😞
I like the logos from the airlines USAir bought, Piedmont, America West & PSA. I see the airline before changing to USAir which I can't even spell.
What a smooth landing
I miss that engine roar, especially during take off!!😃😣😔
Great video, thanks very much
That must have been one LOOOOOOOOOOONG FLIGHT!

Still better than the 737-900ER though in every way. Of course the 757 beats both.
The most turbulent flight I've been on happened on an A321.
Those CFM56s sound SO beautiful they are nostalgic to listen to! Like golden music emanating form the aircraft... Thumbs up if you agree!
These weren't cfm56s
Iaev2500 is better
on many long haul flights the crew have small quarters, usually below the passenger cabin that have a few beds that they can take naps in shifts on.
Charlotte is to USAIRWAYS (They also have a hub in my hometown airport (Philadelphia International)) as Atlanta is to Delta down there in the south.
thank u very much
*awesome man
By any random chance do you have the full startup sound? This is great audio man
I have been on on a red eye flight from SEA DTW on an Alaska air 737
very nice video

What was that about increased security measures 5:55?
What time was your flight? Thanks for the video!
Runway 23.....nice vid...I always wanted to go to LAX. Love CLT it rocks...you can go almost anywhere you want to...and you dont need to go to ATL...
Lax is 24L 6R 24R 6L south side 25L 7R 25R 7L
Am I the only one who thinks it's weird that US Airways has one of the largest Airbus fleet, and an almost non-existent Boeing fleet?
*****
Wrong it is not non-existent, U.S. Airways merged with American, they still exist, but they're under American.
I guess you guys didn't consider the 757 before the merger. What would they have bought from a Boeing anyway? 737s? I don't think they liked 737s and I can see why. I hope they don't retire their 757s to aggressively because I hate to see my favorite go.
They had a bunch of 757s still before merging with American
It's going to be a fast departure
How long does it take to fly from west to east and vice versa?
WHAT SEAT?!!

Looks like so much fun. LOL
nice audio

We have been cleared for departure
Do the crew members sleep?
That A321 actually had IAE V2500 engines instead of CFM56s. Still, love the engine sound from Airbus!
ughhhh a red eye on that old A321 with no onboard entertainment!
New to aviation?
