I couldn't resist the temptation to take video footage from the departing flight this time. From this video, you'll have a good view of most of the island, especially the rugged side, then the hotels, looking down from the plane as it turns north toward Miami. I assembled the footage from pushback all the way to landing. For some reason, I can never get enough of this.

Can't wait to make another one of the approach and landing coming to Aruba. It won't be long.Very Happy

Bon dia.

Great video! Cool

Gotta love First Class, too - it's the only way to fly! I'm flying First Class on Friday with US Air - will be interested to compare their service to Delta's First Class (which we use about 95% of the time for our flights) and United's First Class.

I agree, great video! Steady camera and slow zooming and panning, professional touches! Dialogue was great, too! Makes me want to leave tomorrow but we have to wait a few more weeks.

First class is great, too. The only problem is it's out of my price range and it spoils flying crouched back with the rest of the herd! We never seem to get enough miles to upgrade!!

Out of my price range, too. I only fly First Class when I have extra miles to upgrade or when I'm with my husband (he's Delta Gold Medallion because he flies so much for work so he gets upgraded for free - and I do, too, when I fly with him.) It does spoil you though when you're on a flight where you have to sit back in coach (steerage) again....sigh.... Laughing

Steerage is better, at least you got fed!

You mean First Class is better with food and free drinks and larger seats.

Steerage = Coach = no food (except a tiny bag of peanuts. Laughing )

Hate steerage but the price difference is absolutely ridiculous!

Fun video, thanks again 44!
