With those archive pics the whole thing looks so dated. But the fact remains that it IS so…. And not only for Brits. For me, having lived in GB, it‘s like a cheerful and nostalgic trip back to some of my best times in my life! Thank you for the smiles.
Hang on. I flew to Bejing from Zurich and happened ho have an English teacher next to me. We talked all 11 hours of that flight, I felt a little sorry for the people who tried to sleep but there you go. We had such interesting conversations I was surprized when they announced the landing over the speakers.
Former travel agent here, it is advised to get to the airport 3 hours before your flight. Personally I prefer 4hours (or more), so I can deal with security and have a meal at the airport McDonalds.
Being a Brit living in Buenos Aires and having been a hotel manager for may years and then having my own compnay dealing with international travellers nothing said here is exclusivley British. I will say that (and I wont mention any nationality en particular) I would arrive at the hotel in the morning and the front desk manager would say "The guests from room X has complained that the maid has used their champu or perfume" I would immediately know what nationality they were. They could be one or two South American countries. If the complaint about how noisy the neighbours were I would know who both rooms belonged to. But if the complaint was that there were no plugs in the bathroom hand sink, the guests were British. (Here we just open the tap and wash our hands under the running water.) And strangely, those Brits could be narrowed down to Welsh, I can talk for hours about this topic
I'd like a nice vacation too, but I can watch this show and still understand that it's based on a stated premise, then getting to see some funny people come up with jokes about it. When you watch the Queen's Christmas speech to the nation and the commonwealth, do you also sigh resignedly and comment below, 'Well, very nice to make a speech on Christmas Day for HER! I'd be grateful to make a speech to the nation and commonwealth at ALL! Even once! Yeah, what's the Queen ever done? Just because someone has more money than you, Dear Lady, there's alternatives to just being resentful. Just saying.
Not all Americans are like that! I’m a nice, uncomplaining American. I’m sure not all Brits are so fraught as well. They have to generalize. It’s not a deep psychological dive; it’s a comedy program!
You managed to gather up a lot of very funny people and get them to tell a lot of stories that would have been boring if I'd heard them in the post office.
I will ALWAYS recline my seat..................we play HUGE money to fly and it needs to be as comfortable as possible. People behind can ALSO recline...or scootch their damn laptops a bit closer to themselves. DEAL.
Brillant !
Dutchman living in Paris since 30 years.
Didn't go on any holliday since 15 years. No stress ; no shit and allways on vacation ! 😂
All dinki-di Australians clap on landing when coming back from OS, that’s because we are so very grateful to be home again.
Nigel Havers is lying about reclining his seat. I'm sure. He almost certainly flies first class. He has space.
Like I always say, British and German people are not that different on holidays, that's probably why we always take the mickey out of each other! 😉👍🏼😁
I have only clapped a pilot once. When landing sideways in Wellington, New Zealand.
EVERYBODY CLAPPED!
I've done it twice after a long haul however I usually just cross myself and thank God we all made it.

Very funny but, let’s be realistic here, none of those being interviewed ever actually fly economy class. ✈️🤷🏻♂️
They would have before they became famous. And I expect some are unwilling to shell out for first class.
Totally 😂 wouldn't be in economy
Jack Whitehall and Nigel Havers have never flown economy. Silver spoons.
How come all of the footage of Holiday makers is from like 1968???? lol
To add to the humour.
I’ve only been on 5 flights and I’ve never had anyone clapping for landing.

Question: How can I get reading?? (You just showed up on my feed.)
These are very privileged British "problems." I'd be thrilled and grateful to afford a holiday.

@@rob832 Clearly you have more time on your hands.
Lighten up.
@@londonlady227Well stated. This is satire.
@@rob832well said.
Alot of these British problems are common human problems.
Why is James Corden in this? He's the worst person to be around in public. His unsurprising opinions mean nothing.
Americans! Thats all I will say.

Brits....Whatevs.
