The Flight | Dublin to Philadelphia | 7-hour-long full flight | Slow TV | Aer Lingus
More than anything, we’re about bringing people together. But while that’s on hold for now, we hope this video will be a happy reminder of a trip you took in the past, or help you look forward to a time when you can be reunited soon with a friend or a loved one.
In April 2018, we began flying direct from Dublin Airport to Philadelphia International Airport. For the inaugural flight, we filmed the entire journey - a full seven hours - from the flight deck. From push-back at Dublin to landing and the customary water-cannon salute on arrival in Philadelphia, this unique, uninterrupted view covers over 5,000 kilometres We’ll head out to the West Coast of Ireland and across the Atlantic Ocean before making landfall over northern Canada and head down the East Coast to Philadelphia.
We were inspired to make this video by the Norwegian genre of “slow TV”. In 2011, a 134-hour broadcast of a cruise ship was watched by 50 percent of Norway’s population. The lengthy realtime shows have also grown in popularity in Australia, where a 17-hour train journey was aired. The genre is known for it’s relaxing meditative qualities.
So why are we sharing it now? We wanted to give you a sense of travelling from your own home. We know many of you are missing it as much as we are. This video is about slowing down, switching off, unwinding and escaping for a few hours. When you’re ready to travel again for real, we’ll be happier than ever to welcome you on board.

To be honest, I'd rather have the normal flight audio than the music
dreamy, unique, relaxing, great for decompression time, de-escalation, nap time, etc
I love those relaxing day flights coming back from Europe to the US
Why not have the genuine audio during times in which there must be a sterile cockpit. Then have the music during cruise/climb/descent etc there should be no music while on the ground.
Trouble sleeping? This is my go to, relaxing music with amazing views.
Just for balance, I love the music!
Thanks for this. I flew this route 5 years ago with American. Quite nostalgic for me.
Relaxing music but I wish all the talk between pilot and ATC was included as well.
Now this is binge watching
Very cool. It will have to make do for my foreseeable travel plans. Watched take off and landing and a bit in the middle. Love to travel, am amazed by air travel! Can't wait to get back in the skies again.
This is great, thank you! I'm currently in "essential travel only" lockdown like much of the rest of the world, in my city unit with a view that's more of the units across the street than it is of sky. Really liking all the sky and the clouds. (And yes, I'm an Aussie who watched the train journey.)
Both Eamon on Dublin ground frequency and Eugene on Dublin Tower frequency now both retired.
Thanks for this video! I’m flying from Philadelphia to Dublin next month with my son and parents and am so excited. It’s been about 27 years since I have taken a flight this long so I am a bit nervous. This helps me get ready for it. I appreciate this video so much.
Watched the whole thing blame the bloody lockdown🤣
Watched this flight, fly over my house. Safe travels 🙏👌
Thanks for Featuring PHL, I can't wait to fly from PHL using Aer Lingus and that A321LR! I hope you can serve PHL again!
But actually I've been wanting something like this for a long time.
I'm allowed to watch one more video before I sleep
I've had problems sleeping lately...but I've found the perfect way to overcome this..in just 5 mins
More of these videos, fantastic stuff !
