Do you reckon that the pilots knew about the flap issue just after departure? Listen to the ATC dialogue - the captain said that it was stuck on the way out. Would seem safer to burn the fuel in flight, land lighter, and on a longer runway (SFO is about 1,700 feet longer than Boston Logan). The travelling public doesn’t realise that stuff like this happens alot. I am surprised that the pilot requested emergency vehicles in fact.

Flaps not extending fully is such a walk in the park to seasoned pros like that. No big deal. And DL tech ops pros had that plane fixed and back in the air in no time. Delta is such a well run machine, not just in aviation but in the entire business landscape.

Delta has the highest numbers of canceled or delayed flights in the US. Considering most of their canceled or delayed flights are from maintenance or crew staffing issues and NOT from weather related incidents (as it is for American, United, and Southwest) I think it's clear to see they are not a "well run machine". Their operations in Atlanta are incredible, that's obvious. But overall, they are fairly low in customer service and reliability scores.

As a 321 NEO Long Range captain (A321 253NX) I can say they are an excellent aircraft. My company uses them for Transatlantic travel between Europe and the US. They are a game changer in aviation terms as they operate so efficiently from a fuel point of view. We operate with a business class offering with full lie flat beds and an economy of 171 seats. 186 in total. They are the future when compared with the 757 which my company would have operated on the routes they now serve in the past. As for the flap issue encountered on this flight , it’s a non event for us pilots. It would only be a concern if operating into an airport with a short runway. SFO wouldn’t cause any such issues.

A little trick I learned last summer, when you’re on a flight, and you want to take a Timelapse video looking out the window, on most planes there’s a gap between the window and the shade. That gap is usually big enough for a phone to fit into. You just start your video, then you close the window shade with the phone in there, and you can take a video.

Yep, air travel is incredibly safe. I spent over 30 years flying around the world as a member of TV documentary crews (did some of the UK coverage of the fall of the Berlin wall), hundreds of flights with the odd turbulence or go-arounds but never felt unsafe. Good call for pointing it out.

Great video Jeb! While I’m impressed with the new features of this plane, I really appreciate how you’ve devoted so much time to praising the crew of this flight & the ATC at San Francisco. Thanks for reminding us that air travel is so much more than food service & IFE. BTW the Jeb Score should be a solid 25!

When ATC asked, “how many souls on board”, that really struck a scary chord with me. I fly a lot and only once have been in an emergency landing situation. You’re right, we all love the niceties and service when we fly but safety is paramount. For that reason, I always makes point to thank the cabin and flight crew when we land. “Safe travels” is more than a casual comment. Another great video, Jeb! Thank you.

Strangest thing I ever saw was when my plane was landing in Zurich. An armored personnel carrier with what looked like a 20mm gun in the turret pulled up next to the plane and shadowed it all the way to the gate. I have no idea what that was intended for. Then while waiting for them to open the door, I thought I saw something odd in a nook underneath the terminal about 500 feet away. I THOUGHT it was some weird sort of moving elevator. When my eyes adjusted I was in shock. It was a full size German made Leopard tank! I knew that the country had all kinds of underground networks kind of like the famous Maginot Line. There are hidden bunkers, fallout shelters and mortar launchers that can pop up and spray the skies with mortar fire within minutes. But I tell you, it feels very very weird arriving at an airport and seeing a tank sitting in the shade. I have no idea if there was someone inside but I have no doubt it's all ready for immediate action if ze Germans decide to come! 😁 Even IF that was remotely possible, I wouldn't be concerned. The Alps made it impossible for Hitler's panzers to invade so it would mostly be an air assault. I know for a fact that Switzerland bought dozens and dozens of Stinger launchers from the US for air defense and the militia do train with dummy rounds on drone targets.

Always remember our flight crews for the good work they do to keep us flying very safe getting us home to our families.Kudos

I was taking a flight from SFO to DEN on AA flying economy since I didn’t have enough miles for an upgrade.

Thank you for sharing this story. I have had one emergency type landing as well (bird strike in engine) and the pilot and crew handled it amazingly and were cool as cucumbers. We ended up completely safe as well but they also took these precautions with emergency crew meeting us on the runway. The crew was honest with us about what was going on but very calm and it went very well. This was on United but they also took amazing care of us, got us rebooked, hotels and the works.

Love seeing air travel getting back to normal!! I like the new configuration of the A321NEO! I also noticed a very cool Pepsi! Happy Traveling Jeb!

It's also worth noting that prior to this, BOS-SFO had been typically a domestic 757 for a few years since Delta One service went away on this route. It's not like it went straight from D1 to FC with the neo coming. Since Delta uses that 757 configuration for some international flights (marketed as Premium Select, most notably to KEF), I suspect that we will see this be a Premium Select seat in at least those cases. The neo will also get some 1-1 lieflat + 2-2 Premium Select (likely this seat) versions which will take over BOS-LAX from the D1 757s; it might not be that surprising to see them go on some Boston TATLs either, especially since BOS's configuration makes it difficult to operate 330s and 764s (to say nothing of 350s!) to Terminal A.

I’ve been waiting for this!!! Thanks Jeb!

No one likes emergency anything when flying....so I like that even though it wasn't a problem, they let ATC know it could be and roll out the crews. SFO is not an easy airport to land at with OAK and SJC nearby plus smaller airports (San Carlos) close by. As for the A321neo, got a chance to fly from LAX to DAL last year on Alaska Airlines. They don't have anything like Delta's First setup. On the trip itself....always enjoy seeing my hometown featured (BOS), not just the airport as you flew over my old apartment.
