THE PENCIL JET: Flying United's 757-300 from Chicago to Denver

*CLICK "CC" TO WATCH WITH SUBTITLES*

The Boeing 757-300 is the world's longest single-aisle aircraft. United and Delta are the two largest operators of the type with United mainly flying it on hub-to-hub and leisure routes. I recently got to fly United's 757-300 from Chicago to Denver in Economy Plus. While none of United's -300s have been retrofitted with the new "Next" cabin, these aircraft will eventually receive the retrofit soon.

I've only flew on one 757 in my life on American Airlines in a 757-200 in the US Airways Livery (N910AW) from HNL-PHX onwards connecting to ORD when I was 5. I took this experience on this beautiful bird for granted and I wish I havent. Amazing bird!

The fact that the 757 is capable to land and takeoff from Midway shows how it's the sportscar of the sky.

Love that overcast breakthrough! Cheers from Peoria.

I always imagined Denver was in the mountains. Imagine my surprise to see the airport was flat all around for miles and miles.

[arnaldoluisn]

There is so much I would Love to say but will keep it as brief possible 🙆 Superb Work ! You are so Detail Oriented; your videos offer a lot of good info. What you verbally describe are facts, not your opinion. That is so rare these days. You don't stick only to the subject described; you share every detail of everything that we see on the screen.
I just want to Congratulate you for the Quality of video that you Produce, is an entire higher level.

The 757 always takes off on Flex thrust

4:06 I actually saw this exact 747-8i in Toronto less than a month ago, which was an awesome surprise for Toronto planespotters like me, who usually get the Boeing 747-400 in summer and a mix of 787 and A330/A340 in winter from Frankfurt. Fun fact: Lufthansa used to have a Boeing 747-200 registered D-ABYT, wearing this exact livery!

[lennyaviation]

What’s absolute insanity my last trip was CLT DEN IAH ORD and the DEN/ IAH was on a 777 and the IAH/ ORD was a 753 still in old livery

[leezinke]

Enjoy them while they’re still around.

[theplanecollector]

I was at O’hare that day I think I spotted you taking off from runway 9R

[JD-Films]

Do you know if all of the 752’s feature the United Next Interior?

[davidharris]

id rather be on a 757 any day over a 321

[Voyagetoothedark]

the "wiglets" i think it has to do with the routes engines type and planes.. they are installed to "improve efficiency" you ever see a Roles Rice on the side of the road? nope most CRJ and ERJ dont even have them

[Airliner]

that a321neo @2:51 already looking old

[davidharris]

i thought the stretch 8 was the longest narrowbody

[Rndmstff]

I’d assume the reason the 757-300 doesn’t have scimlitar winglets has something to do with certification. I’d imagine that the Boeing 757-300 would have to get some kind of certification to use scimlitar winglets and because of how few 757-300s there are compared to the -200 Boeing just never bothered to certify the winglets. But I can only guess

[michaelleetrini]

This is the most uncomfortable aircraft in the United mainline ... I flew on one from Newark to Houston... Most of the bathrooms were broken . The infighting system did not work 😂
