Cheers for the comment mate! Believe it or not it was actually and iPhone 5 camera, at first I thought it would be pretty bad, but it was better than my other camera which was not HD so I thought I would give it a try, and the outcome was astonishing! If you have an iPhone (I think 4 and above, not sure about 3 and below) then do film your flights! Keep an eye out, Ill be making more in the next few months ;)

Thank you for posting this video of the Virgin Atlantic A340-300 from Heathrow to Tokyo. I took this same flight around 2001. We were extremely lucky to fly into Japan just as dawn was breaking, and enjoyed the truly iconic sight of Mt.Fuji breaking through a solid cloudbase. A memory that will stay with me forever. Rick

Amazing video, really enjoyed it. Watched it straight out from start to finished.

I'm so glad you picked up on that! One of my most favourite songs of all time!

Yeah man

I do agree with that, although I think it only applies for the A340-300. Otherwise the 747-400s and A330-300s with their brand new product looks amazing! Not to mention the A340-600 had a competitive AVOD product ;) Cheers for watching

Thanks mate! I'm glad to hear that ;) Virgin definitely is a quality airline, definitely my first choice when it comes to travel!

No problems, thanks for watching!

Virgin Atlantic VS900 London Heathrow to Tokyo Narita *Full Flight* IS A VERY NICE AWESOME VIDEO.

Great video! Felt like I was actually there. Top airline :)

Great video!!

great vid..well done

Really I cant believe it mate... Good...!

looks great thanks for sharing

Thanks Richard! I`m glad you enjoyed it :)

You were in a Virgin ;) nice vid mate

Yes likewise! Whenever I get the choice of who I fly with I will always choose Virgin also! Keep up the good work mate :)

Skyteam does have some excellent service in all classes, I used to fly this route with KLM via Amsterdam. KLM has never failed to amaze me with high quality services, this year I just took Virgin Atlantic cause I was going to Heathrow and not Newcastle. Virgin Atlantic is excellent too, although its A340-300 specifically is rather poor. Haha, and I know what the Japanese tourists are like on planes, most of the times I've travelled, they don't care about me opening the shades ;) Thanks!

hey mate! i gotta know which camera did you use? that was one of the most perfect .sounds of an aeroplane when one actually travels. normally the sounds recorded by the camera eliminates most of the engine roars and the other important sounds...after watching this I truly felt like i was actually flying..great work mate keep it up..i look forward to more of such videos !!!!!

Thanks mate! Virgin Atlantic offer a great service, I really did enjoy it! And it depends on what you`re after on a plane, the only thing that made the -300 worse was the old cabin, the IFE system was not on demand so you couldn`t watch what you wanted at a specific time, but if you`re like me and have other things such as iphones, laptops etc then overall the flight was great! Hope you enjoy your stay in Japan, and if you intend on filming anything please do sharee;) ;)

Great video, thanks. Flying this route in June so it's good to get an idea. How did you find the service overall? Was 300 considerably worse than 600?

Nowadays its quite often that flights to and from Europe to Asia fly above northern Russia, there are some nice tailwinds up there.

At 35:00 you can hear Fairytale Pf New York. Anyway great flight, nice aircraft, I've been on that type Virgin use, once from JFK the other from Miami

Glad you picked up on that! One of my all time favorite songs :D

But the thing that makes Heathrow more intense and tricky than Atlanta and stuff is that it only has 2 runways which run at 98% capacity unlike Atlanta which has 6 runways or so running at probably less than 50% capacity

NICE

Haha, I can literally feel the pressure in my head changing @21:30

Very nice film very much liked it.richard

Tokyo oh when I saw this I was so surprised I come from the east cost canada so I usually take the Calgary flight to tokyo :P! subed

Thats pretty much it, just goes further north than the previous great circle route cause of stronger winds further north

Isn't that the Great Circle Route anyway? I know going from America to northern Europe you often go over Greenland and Iceland. And flying from America's west coast to Japan (which I did last year), you go over the Aleutian Islands.

Of course, it does say in the description that it is an A340-300 ;) Not the first aircraft you would want to fly from Virgin compared to their 747s and A330s, sadly they`re not operated to Tokyo.

Honestly I don`t know why, I saw it coming up on the A340-600 but on the A340-300 the cabin crew performed the safety demonstration, I`m guessing its cause the -300 series has an older IFE system

I've flown direct to narita in a 777 and it is indeed a long flight. No different to seattle, buenos airies or hong kong. At least 99% of passengers were japanese which meant a quite and organised flight.

It really depends, factors such as the onboard entertainment system, services or even how much you love aviation ;)

12 hours and 15 minutes.

Are you allowed your iPhone on during takeoff and landing? Please do give me a tip or trick to record takeoff and landing!

You do realize that there are are other cameras then just the one on the back of your iphone

Terminal 5 is certainly impressive, as well as the new terminal 3 which was the one I was in this video. Hopefully terminal 4 will get a facelift, was there two months ago and it was appalling for arrivals

12:27 imagine how boss it would be to book out the entire first class Emirates A380 cabin - 14 of you - and when you land rather than take the jetbridge behind first class from the upper deck you all descend the plane's own interior staircase and go down the metal steps outside the front lower jetbridge instead, where this 14 seat Mitsukoshi Premium coach awaits you and your party to whisk you away from the madness in style & comfort. Quick customs passport check before you board and Look At That, all your first class hold luggage just happened to be stowed in the plane's bulk hold and is already aboard the coach. Some of your party delighted in sending their hand luggage down the metal slide thingy beside the metal airstairs, but yours is some custom leather thing that costs a year's normal people wages so you carried it down safe & sound, Thank You Very Much

i saw it at aall i think in freaking crazy hahaha very nice video

nice

Oh and If I go to Japan again if I ever do I actually dont know when but ill recorde the flight and submit a video response to this :P!

How many kilometers this flight???

The busiest airport in the world !! plane land and departure every 30 sec

HD are long flights fun or boring?

how long was the flight ?

Amazing video my friend! Shame Virgin Atlantic don't fly to Tokyo anymore only BA, JAL and ANA.

To go to Tokyo from London it's British Airways, Japan Airlines and ANA if you saw Virgin Atlantic website it will operate by a different airline. I'm not sure which airline I would recommend I go to ANA.

Thank you for watching! Please do watch my newest video of the KLM 747-400 :)

Please reply as soon as possible HDTokyoAviation cuz I am going on vacation and I want to upload a video of takeoff and landing

You had the Airbus 340-300.

Wow... o-o

I do not believe this is an Airbus A330, so no wonder you do not get the entertainment spec. Virgin have for them; it is an A340!

Must be exciting going to Japan must cost a bit

James Adcock Actually I live here in Japan, but my family are from the UK so I visit them quite often. It's definitely very exciting, I loved every moment of living here and this is my final year so I have to make the most of it!

Nice recording sound a bit too low

Roughly 9000km

I flew there 3 weeks ago with Alitalia via Milan with a flight from LHR. Paid just £378 return (777-200 11: hour 45 minute flight). You were brave opening your window to an early morning, I tried that and the passengers (99% of them japanese) looked at me in disgust. We landed at around 10:40 am tokyo local). Skyteam catering was good in economy with after take off drink (free alcohol) snack, 2 meals with another snack. Although our IFE screens were of similar size, it was AVOD.

WHY IS BRITISH AIRWAYS IN HEATHROW BUT NOT GATWICK

They are in Gatwick as well. They are acutually quite big in Gatwick

@keithrussell9834

Heathrow is their main hub which Gatwick is a secondary hub as with other main international airports. you rarely see BA flying into airports that cant land an 747 or A380 except at London city which mainly BA use A318s or A319s as they are the biggest jets that London city can handle.

keith russell BA uses SAAB 2000, ERJ170, ERJ190 and A318s into LCY (The A319 is not certified for LCY) And BA flies were the demand is, not how big the airport is... Many european airports that BA flies to does not see a B747 or A380 (either because they can´t land there or because the demand for such a big plane doesn´t exist). Just to mention a few DUS, HAM, GIB, CPH, ARN, DUB, NCL, EDI, GLA, OSL, BGO, PRG, ABZ, STR, RTM, HAJ, BHD, LIS, WAW, BUD, HEL, VCE, LBA, TXL, IBZ, PSA, LIN, BLQ, GOT, JTS, JMK and many more

Cheers mate, love your videos too! I most certainly will sub back ;)
