In this video we join Finnair on the flight deck once again, this time on the A330 for the flight from Stockholm down to Doha. We spend plenty of time up with the pilots at the beginning and end of the flight – watching how they do what they do and getting explanations about everything from the route of flight to emergency landing considerations over high terrain to what it’s like approaching busy Doha during the late night rush. We also hear from the pilots about the A330 versus the A350 – since they fly both, who better to ask? We also spend time in the lovely new AirLounge business class seat, one we’ve flown several times before. We have a nice dinner, take a little rest, and even chat to one of the flight attendants. Join us for this beautiful 6h20m flight down to Qatar and kick off the adventure with us.
This is part 1 of the Africa adventure series, as Gabriel Leigh heads down to Zimbabwe to try and catch a flight on Air Zimbabwe’s ageing-but-beautiful 737-200.

This guy has the best job, would love to do this for a living 🤩
Your videos are great. 👍 ✈️ Thanks
🍀
is this just me but the video is only in 360p?
LOL. I thought for a minute I was watching a live feed. 😄
Yet another amazing cockpit video Gabe!! Thank you..if not on jump seqt, i hope they at least allow GoPro inside cockpit below FL100
Come to Algiers ❤🎉
9:00 Greetings from Cluj-Napoca!😀
Wonderful video Gabriel!
Seems like the new A330 videos being made are more of comparisons between the new, shiny, fast and quiet A350 and the old fart smelling A330, wich it Isn’t. Not a fair comparison. And its a completely different aircraft.
And i believe Finnair is mainly flying A350 at routes that are out of A330 range, due to the current political restrictions.
Amazing video, love it!
SAS Arlanda – NY A330 passerar med pågående stigning på 20000 – 23000 ft höjd där jag bor ca 18 mil från Arlanda, låter riktigt nice även då 😊
Great video. Will fly the 330 cph-doha in 3 days.
Welcome To Qatar Sir
How Can I Meet You In Qatar Sir
when was it recorded?
Very interesting thanks
Doha importing their ATC 😀
Can an A350 pilot only fly A380s or also A330/340s?
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Some times I am envious of you sometimes I'm not. This time I am extremely envious of you. Damn.!
The captain appears to be a very nice man.
I’m the controller in Doha 🥹❤️
Epic video man!
Have you done a similar video on a Finnair from/to Helsinki?
You should have asked Jenny what languages besides English does she speak? I guess Swedish, as she is based in Stockholm and Finnish as she works for a Finnish airline. Maybe also Arabic, specially Gulf one, as she regularly flies to Doha. Maybe also a mother language or her of her parents, as her features does not seem as of a native Northern woman
How high did the plane fly?
Also, you should have asked the pilots, what languages do each of them speak?
I've been in this exact aircraft, in business class from Tokyo to Helsinki some years ago. It had the old business class seats back then but it was still really nice.
Another greet video! I'd love to know how you go about planning your trips……from choosing airlines and aircraft to fly but also obtaining visas and arranging other protocols, permissions to film etc and everything else in between!
Also, I'd like to see the flight number and date of your trips. So I can view, playback on fr24, please?🙂
Absolutely loved watching this!! Thank you!
