Full Flight: Delta Air Lines B757-300 Seattle to Detroit (SEA-DTW)
Hey guys! Welcome to another red-eye full flight video! In this one, I fly aboard a very long & skinny B757-300 on my way across the U.S. from Seattle, Washington to Detroit, Michigan. Red-eye flights, meaning flights that take off late at night and arrive in the wee hours of the next morning, in general just plain suck. They're much worse than transatlantic flights because of the short durations they have which in turn means you can't get much sleep. But, I think Delta does a pretty solid job at making pax feel comfortable on these sleepy flights. They provided a blanket for everyone, along with power outlets, USB ports, IFE screens, free entertainment, free snacks/drinks, and WiFi. The seats themselves are pretty comfortable with adjustable headrests even though the legroom is fairly average. I was lucky enough to have one of the few empty middle seats on the plane, so it really helped. The flight also arrived & departed on time and had a good flight crew. I've flown the B757-200 with Delta in the past a few times, but never the -300 variant which is even longer. I really enjoyed flying aboard this bird and because the flight was full, the takeoff was even more powerful & awesome! Hope you guys enjoy!

Obviously Boeing screwed up with the 737max... but more to the point they should have built a shorter variant of the 757 with new wings and bigger fuel efficient engines to replace the extremely aged 737 (with the 57's high stance the engineers could have put any size engine under the wings without having to relocate them forward and up which of course fatally changed the flight characteristics on the 37)... doing so would have made the 757 (which has the same width as a 737) an immediate competitor to Airbus's very versatile A320 series... Right now, Boeing has no answer to the A350XLR, but a refreshed 57 would have easily been that answer... And I agree the 757 is a beautiful bird... the 737? Not so much!

This video put a smile on my face. I really love how you often have a positive outlook on your flight reviews. As far as red-eye flights are concerned, I took a red-eye flight from PHX to CLT on American Airlines in June of 2017. I slept for 5 minutes then woke up for 5 minutes. The pattern continued throughout the entire flight. The flight was decent, though.

Also, DTW is in fact their second largest hub. Delta cannot expand at SEA because there are literally no gates left to use.
Flying EB from PT>ET,you lost 3hrs,arriving at DTW around 6am,your body clock says it was 3am Seattle time,bedtime for everybody on board,I would've been a zombie,traipsing around the Mcnamara Terminal,still dark outside. Its quite possible by this posting that DL may have or is in the process of retiring their 757 fleet due to the virus-caused drop in bookings.Read on a FF website that DL is retiring their 737-700's.

The Westin at DTW is a very nice hotel... It opened a year or two after the McNamara did and was built with the same architectural philosophy as the McNamara Terminal and has won many awards for being the best on airport hotel in the US... I've stayed there many times and it's one of, if not the best, on airport hotel in North America (Vancouver's Sheraton is very nice too)... It's triple pane glass make the jets just outside completely inaudible! It has a direct connection to concourse A and has it's own TSA checkpoint right off the Westin's atrium...
Why that many people would want to fly to Detroit in the middle of the night is beyond me. My last Delta flight trip was in April 2019 from Denver to Sacramento via Salt Lake City. We crowded into the ass end of a 737-800 for the brief flight to SLC. The SLC Delta terminal was an overcrowded dump with a couple overpriced places to get a mediocre breakfast. The flight to Sacramento was mercifully brief. After staying a week in the Redwooods area, we flew from Sacramento to LAX to see my daughter. The flight in the back row of their regional jet was short with no beverage service. After a few days in LA, we returned to the Delta terminal for our flight to Denver. The terminal from which we planned to leave was a circular affair with six or seven gates attached. It was exptremely overcrowed with people standing in the aisles with their luggage between the rows of seats. Our plane to Denver was first an hour, then two hours, then three and a half hours late. Recorded announcements there advised us that charging outlets for our devices were available in all waiting areas of the terminal. Every charging outlet we tried was broken. When we asked the Delta gate people about this their reply was "Yeah, we know that." When our plane arrived, we learned it was overbooked so my wife and I each took the $700 credit and stay a night in a semi-dump hotel just off the LAX grounds. The next day we got back to the "Reimagined" Delta terminal and found that our plane was an hour late and was also over-booked. I almost wanted to take a later flight and hit them up for another $700 overbooking fee but by that time my wife had enough of LAX and Delta so we squeezed into our tiny seats in the ass end of the plane and got home to Denver. Ugh. I've flown dozens of times on United and have never experienced anything like this..
