We spend plenty of time up with the pilots at the beginning and end of the flight \u2013 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\u2019s like approaching busy Doha during the late night rush. We also hear from the pilots about the A330 versus the A350 \u2013\u00a0since they fly both, who better to ask? We also spend time in the lovely new AirLounge business class seat, one we\u2019ve 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.<\/p>\n<p>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\u2019s ageing-but-beautiful 737-200.<\/p>\n<p>Follow Flightradar24 on Instagram &#8211; http:\/\/instagram.com\/flightradar24<br \/>\nFollow Gabe on Instagram: https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/gabeleigh\/<\/p>\n<p>Facebook &#8211; https:\/\/facebook.com\/flightradar24<br \/>\nTwitter &#8211; https:\/\/twitter.com\/flightradar24<br \/>\nLinkedIn &#8211; https:\/\/www.linkedin.com\/company\/2740521<\/p>\n<p>Watch all of our Finnair videos:<br \/>\nFlying the A350 over the North Pole https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=qmX0_-9Ggmw<br \/>\nFlying with the Moomins to Dallas https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RtvaLMEkLbQ<br \/>\nFlying the long way to Tokyo https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=AwgUXNUYvO8<br \/>\nThe comprehensive AirLounge review on the A330 to JFK https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=6rY-5T-yZX4<br \/>\nFlying home to put sleeping in the AirLounge to the test https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=RPO1TsKjIwU<br \/>\nFinnair\u2019s old A350 business class to Miami https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wwEiaKjEIF4<\/p>\n<p>Follow Jenny the flight attendant on TikTok: https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@jjennielu?_t=8d9xEBBGmlf&#038;_r=1<\/p>\n<p>SECTIONS:<\/p>\n<p>00:00 Onboard Finnair\u2019s A330<br \/>\n00:54 Business class cabin<br \/>\n02:12 Takeoff ARN<br \/>\n03:48 Flight deck part 1<br \/>\n04:28 Today&#8217;s route to Doha<br \/>\n06:30 Thoughts on the A350<br \/>\n08:08 Dinner<br \/>\n09:19 Business seat and cabin<br \/>\n09:52 Chat with flight attendant<br \/>\n11:14 Nighttime descends<br \/>\n11:57 Flight deck part 2<br \/>\n13:30 Busy airspace over Iran<br \/>\n16:00 &#8220;Sometimes the radios aren&#8217;t so clear&#8221;<br \/>\n17:21 Other Finnair flights in the area<br \/>\n19:54 Approaching Doha<br \/>\n21:38 In the approach pattern behind a Qatari aircraft<br \/>\n22:00 &#8220;A nice shortcut&#8221;<br \/>\n22:40 Finnair Four-Kilo descend 11000 feet<br \/>\n24:33 Taxi to gate Doha<\/p>\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;-<br \/>\nUseful flight tracking links:<\/p>\n<p>\u2708\ufe0f Track live flights here &#8211; https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com<br \/>\n\ud83c\udfa7 Listen to our podcast here &#8211; https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/avtalk-podcast<br \/>\n\ud83d\udee9\ufe0f Find out more about subscriptions here &#8211; https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/premium<br \/>\n\ud83d\udcd5 Read our flight tracking glossary here &#8211; https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/glossary<br \/>\n\ud83d\udce7 Sign up to our Aviation newsletter &#8211; https:\/\/www.flightradar24.com\/blog\/on-the-radar-newsletter\/<\/p>\n<p>#finnair #cockpit #a330<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In this video we join Finnair on the flight deck once again, this time on the A330 for the flight from Stockho<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":189640,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_share_on_mastodon":"0"},"categories":[26129],"tags":[26614,26140,26260],"class_list":{"0":"post-189639","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-drama","8":"tag-2022-summer-drama","9":"tag-2022-","10":"tag-nice-flight"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=189639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/189639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/189640"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=189639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=189639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.wacoca.com\/media\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=189639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
