Im so hyped now for my trip Thursday from Little Rock to Atlanta on 717 then onward to Orlando on 757. Seat 20D though, however the engines always soothe me for some reason. Love it! Thank you for this video.

The 717s and the MD-80s just have a special place in my heart

I'll be on 717 shortly from Atlanta to Oklahoma. Couldn't be more excited! Thanks for the video, super educational

Just completed a flight from ATL to BTV on a Delta 717. Overall a great flight.

Love flying on this plane. Nothing nicer than the growling sound of those RR engines as they start up.

Managed to fly on a 717 twice so far, both with Qantas in Australia in 2018/19. Last year I was supposed to fly on one in the US with Delta, but they changed the aircraft to a CRJ-900 sadly. I really hope I will get the chance to fly on one again, as I live in Europe and no airlines here have them in service anymore. Thanks for the video! The sounds really give me goosebumps, and memories of my own experience flying the 717! :D

I flew on 717 from Montreal to Atlanta and it is my 4th Boeing preferred bird lovely ❤

Never on Delta but I flew on Midwest's version of the 717 which was basically 2x2 first class, the whole plane. Probably one of the best flying experiences I've ever had.

Boeing 717s remind me of DC 9s and Fokker 100s due to the seating arrangements and engine sounds. I remember flying in a Boeing 717 a few times to Fort Lauderdale, FL on an AirTran flight back in 2011. I love old school aircrafts.

Delta has the 717 on some longer flights like EWR - MSP, which usually takes about 2.5 hours. Personally I feel that Delta should have planes with IFE for a flight of that duration.

Funny enough, my first ever commercial flight was on an AirTran 717 from ROC to ORD for my senior trip in 2003. I’ll be flying the 717 again next month from BNA to DTW.

I flew with Airtran 717 back in 2005. Myrtle Beach to Atlanta. Maybe I can fly it again next time I visit USA.

Great trip report. I like the hassle free trip out of DAB. I have flown on the 717-200 from HNL-OGG on Hawaiian, MCO-ATL-MCO on Air Tran and roundtrip JFK to MCO & TPA on Delta. The 717-200 was always a great flight. Thanks for posting your DAB-ATL trip report.

Good report! I only wish you had filmed more of the engine during takeoff.

Awesome flight onboard B717-200 N990AT sure looks like one hell of a flight you had

[abbasrizvi]

Nice, Flew 717 on Airtran a lot between ATL and MDW.

[ArturoJ]

I’ll be flying on one this evening into Atlanta. I’m in 26A.

I talked to the captain after a flight and asked about the retirement date for the 717, and he said 2030 because there is a engine backlog at Airbus so they are keeping the 717 in service longer.

Flying on the Delta 717 this month 29th Louisville to Atlanta can't wait😎🇺🇲🦅💪🏼
