great choice with trailer park boys for IFE!
Another amazing qfs trip report! With me living near IAH, I fly with United a lot! Keep up the good work!
What a smooth landing! Loving more and more the new United livery! Excellent work as usual!!
Nice video! Can’t get enough of that new livery... and that butter at 10:04, omg, have no words to describe it!
hi Q. thoroughly enjoyed your report, thanks for sharing your adventures. and I love those shadow plane landings. fly safe my friend!
"Biscoff" is a Belgian biscuit and it recently made the headlines here in Belgium because Lotus (the producer) decided to remove the name used in Belgium ("Speculoos") from the packaging to replace it by Biscoff like elsewhere in the world. I think people will continue to call it speculoos anyway. :p
This is my new favorite channel keep up the good work!!
Cool video Quinton, I can’t wait for the next video I am huge fan since day 1
ok, this crazy qfs listen here. as soon as I saw this video pop up on youtube at 14 minutes, I just landed my a320 neo in Microsoft flight simulator 2020 from charlotte to Austin so in stoke and always this was a great video and keep up the great work. also love the merch, the sweatshirt is soft and fresh.

The West is just gorgeous nice views of Montana! Thanks for the share.
Seeing BIL Airport on KZread, @ 5:00 AM, gave me the same emotional feeling that I get every time I go up there that early. 😃
amazing video, was so refreshing to watch
Your channel is so calming
That landing was perfection!
Great video and engine sounds, bro!
At 7:15 is Big Horn Canyon National Recreation Area, one of my favorite places to go camping! Thanks for doing all these videos out of Billings btw. Even though I live in the western part of Montana, it's awesome to see footage of my home area! Love your KMSO reports too, hope to see you visit KBZN (Montana's largest and most beautiful airport) sometime!

today's Q re-view is from a flight he made one year ago today on August 12th 2020. Biscoff cookies are served so its gotta be an ok trip. great camera work, beautiful scenery, and a smooth landing, shadow included. thanks for sharing qman!!
Nice view from your seat. Great video.
I love Biscoff and I always grab them on a flight. Never have seen them at a store though.

Great video series flying through BIL. I grew up in Billings and worked for airport operations for 6 years before becoming an ATC. Was there any specific reason you decided to do the QXE and KAP flights in and out of BIL?
United is doing a great job with service in the midst of the pandemic!

Nice trip report 👍
Great as always to have another trip report from you Quintin. Am I the only person in the world who has never had a Biscoff??
I had a feeling that you were going to do this flight since you said that UA only goes there from Denver in your last video.
7:48 I absolutely agree!! 😋
I think you flew on this exact same A320 from MSP to Denver, but it got new paint since. Can’t find the video but the attendant announced it as an “over water” A320. Pretty sure it was the 412. There was a Vikings preseason game at beginning.
Yeeah new tripreport😁
Agreed on the Biscoff
Awesome! What do you use to edit?
Denver Airport is mainly designed for people making connections not really for O&D also that airport is under construction both in the Jeppesen Terminal and all three concourses which is making United Airlines use A, B, and C concourses instead of just concourse B
they do have IFE on their airbus fleet, I have personally been on a airbus A320/A319, both with IFE screens, but they were just live tv though
Still around 8 Great Lakes 1900Ds on the ground here in Cheyenne, all the EMB-120s are gone. Any idea where they went?
Maybe do Billings Logan to Boston Logan...with a stopover in Chicago!
Hey bro amazing channel please give aer Lingus a go again in the future!
the seat looks like spirit's and allegiant's economy seat but the difference is its wider
Bischoff cookies are so good. I haven't flown in a while but I can still get a whole box of them at Costco.
How did you know where you were in flight? You mentioned the city in Wyoming. In years past I'd try and use my phone but the signal/gps always seemed way off.
Stay safe !!
It's awesome seeing all of these videos from Billings!
Nice Video
Cool
Love the trip reports, any chance doing a Fort Lauderdale or Charleston South Carolina one?
theplanesguy flew on one of these planes earlier this year and hated those Airbus seats on United worse than Spirit but the economy seats on Boeing I heard are more comfortable but still lacks legroom
Yo. When are you uploading another video
Ah, the Michael Sharp comment-a-thon is here! Finally an airport he can relate to, every couple of years or so! But DEN is definitely one of my frequent airports to go through. Maybe I'll skip my United upload and do one of Endeavor Air for now... - Red

As I think I mentioned in another video, I once flew the opposite of this route - same airline, same plane; we were originally headed directly to SEA from DEN but had to make an emergency medial stop in BIL. Unfortunately we weren't allowed to deplane during the hour it two it took to sort things out. But at least I was in F! ;-) Also wanted to add that unlike Delta, UA offers a full bar service in first class, even on short flights like this one.

When it comes to food service (pre-pandemic at least-policies change a lot now), the US Airlines serve food in pretty much the same manner in first class. For Delta, all daytime flights longer than 900 miles would receive full meal service. For United, it was flight time based (I believe 2hr 20min+ would receive full service). However, as mentioned before, COVID has thrown all of this off.
The new livery is beautiful! Great video! ✈️
Air Italy?
Nice
Isn't it funny how the Billings Airport has the same name as the Airport in Boston which is my home Airport.
Awsome! How do u pay for all of these?

No tvs? Ugh
Hey quintin! Great vid man, the UA Airbus in the new livery looks super clean and Billings is such a cool city. Didn’t fly commercial all of 2020 surprisingly, just flew private working on my private pilot license. Hope to get back on a commercial bird sometime soon. Safe travels and God bless man!
UNITED WHAT
It's good to see more American airlines use Airbus 👍
Why don’t you fly coach so people can see what it’s like
hahaaaa wazz craccin
United's economy class has terrible legroom I heard
I wholeheartedly respect your opinion in grading flights and airlines but how does #UnitedAirlines, on this flight, get a 7/10 on inflight entertainment? If the most you get is free wifi for your cell phone then maybe they deserve a 2 but that's damned expensive for $112.00 increase. The end result is that they overcharge for a seat upgrade and nothing gave 1st class clients nothing more on a one hour flight.
First
Ugh. You stayed at the Doubletree? You should have stayed at the northern hotel.
United now has the best excuse to offer a cheap onboard service
Not first
you basically landed on the longest runway in North America
So what’s the science behind not serving cocktail glasses??? It isn’t because of COVID. It’s about being CHEAP!!!!!

im guessing due to various travel restrictions for each us state and nor as many flights...
my dad flew this route back in 2014 for business and it was on a United 737-700 and my dad flew DEN to BIL the day after several passengers on this exact route got seriously injured due to severe turbulence and that day saw a computer outage within United Airlines and my dad flew from OMA to DEN on a 737-800 and on the way back DEN to OMA on an Embraer 145 operated by Expressjet and had to wait in the jetway in Omaha with 30 mph winds and the OMA to DEN route had to circle across Eastern Colorado due to the system outage before landing in Denver since Denver is a United hub
pooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooopp
I don't understand why people get all hot and bothered over those stone-like Biscoff ginger cookies. They are NOT a luxury item! The regular service passengers pay for can't return soon enough!
When are they gonna get rid of the face diaper mandate? I miss enjoying flying. Now we aren't allowed to breathe when we fly. 2 weeks going on 2 years of lunacy and fear mongering.
Why paying for first class when you basically get economy class service during covid19 time?

So where do you get the money for these flights? What’s your career or is daddy wealthy? $100 plus dollars extra for an hour flight is hardly worth it but you just seem to have charged it and then on your way
