TUI Fly Nordic – 737-800 Cockpit Start up, Taxi, Take off from Lanzarote

(6B638/BLX638) 27k rated engines, what an amazing ride! What can I say? My dream came true! Just a few days ago I had the honor of being allowed to sit in the jump seat of the Boeing 737-800 for around 5 full hours, I would like to give a huge huge thank you to the Captain and First Officer, as well as the cabin crew for this experience. If you do end up reading this, it means the world to me!

Onto the details, this was a charter from Lanzarote (ACE) to Gardermoen (OSL) and the flight time was to be around 4h 55m. We arrived around 30 minutes ahead of time. The departure was the VASTO2M from runway 03. In the video you’ll be able to observe the pushback, start up, taxi, and a non-engine bleed takeoff. This was one of the most humbling experiences of my life seeing as this is my dream, and I’m very pleased to be able to share it here on YouTube!
