Had to dress up for the occasion 🤷♂️
You were cool, especially for the video background 😍🤵🏻♂️
lol should have dressed up for it all. Great video really got to know you a lot more. Looking forward to 2024 I’ve suggested my flight let’s hope you get to cover it. Happy New Year
Hey Patrick! First time commenting and new sub...
First video I ever saw was the Air Algérie one, never flown with them and most likely will ever do, barely got to the end of ur video as bad experience it was thank u for enduring that for us 😂😂😂
I liked how you broke down each category best and worst, in your personal experience, cause it's always different for everyone...
What amazes me the most is your honesty and appreciation for each and single flight u took this year...maybe cause as u said were really happy to take your 1st international flight and see all these places within one year...
However, I would like to make some constructive criticism.
As many have said, I feel sometimes the narration it's way too much, for me at least it's your wording and enonciation, try to articulate a little bit more.
All videos I've seen are always 30 min long. I feel like u could find a balance on your editing between narrating and just subtitles (less work for u...I guess)
I being a French guy just a little bit older than u living in MEX, I pretty much only fly transatlantic CDG-MEX in business on AF or sometimes to Madrid on AM or Amsterdam on KLM. When going to the the US always fly Delta... so as u can see only fly Skyteam haha😂😅 so it would be really interesting to see your take on any of those legacy carriers.
I'm sure your channel will explode this year as u will get better every video. Congrats on managing work and RUclips.
Sorry for the long text!
Take care and happy new year !
Super attractive though 🤭
You became my favorite AvGeek flight reviewer in 2023...very reasonable, composed, intelligent, and articulate! Keep up the great work.
Thanks a bunch! I appreciate it
Mine too. Safe travels.
Even if it’s only an 8-10 minute vid, you should post a mini report for every flight you do. I know there’s a lot of competition for domestic economy trip reports but your style of video is by far the best.
I like the idea!
Bro, handsome lad, and love his review format (voiceover). Informative, straightforward and no-BS. Easy. There's something about his voice and accent that I like too.💯❤
I Can't Tell You How Much I Enjoy Your Channel. It Gives A Old Man Reasons To Dream To Fly First Class Some Day?? (Dreaming Is Still Free) Thank You SO MUCH!! New Years Greetings From🌴 San Diego.
Thanks a ton! Dreaming never hurts! Hopefully one day you get a chance to try it out!
Look handsome in tuxedo:)
Your creative potential seems limitless. Congratulations

You did great this year, Patrick! I watch your vlogs every week and I really enjoy the content. Keep doing the great work cos you're going places, my friend. Here's to another 20,000 and more subscribers!!!😊
Love to hear it! Thanks a ton!
You look really handsome in that suit Pat! 😊 Happy New Year to you.
Hey Patrick please dont change your trip report style, like you said its about the journey and thats why I tune in.
Best of luck for 2024!
Thanks! I appreciate it

Love your videos, voice over and music and all. You keep doing you. This is why you have a following. Forget the haters. Haters will always hate. Just look at it this way….you’re in your twenties. You got to and will get to travel to all those places and in ways where most people can only dream of visiting and experiencing, respectively. It’s a privilege, and it seems like you’ve humbly embraced and took advantage of your opportunities. Just enjoy what you’re doing and don’t let the haters get to you. Best wishes for 2024 and safe travels.
Very kind words! Thanks a ton! Cheers to 2024
I loved your 16 hour flight from Hawaii to Guam, saw part of the world I was not aware of, thx.
6:58, Wow, that's a lot of different countries you visit Africa. In comparison, I visit 10 different countries in Europe from June until mid July and it's nice, awesome, busy and hot. Hope to visit Europe again in the summer.
Congratulations on a great 2023 Patrick! Look forward to seeing where your travels take you in 2024.
Thank you! I’m excited for another year of fun times
Awesome vids dude! You’ve become one of my faves this year
Thanks! I appreciate it!
I have just started watching you this year and I don’t regret watching all of your videos over and over again! Happy New Years and cheers to 2024!
Great to hear! Happy new year!
Thank you for posting your videos. I am living vicariously through your trips. Again, thank you.
That’s awesome! Thanks! Good to hear
Thanks for the recap video! Happy New Year🎉🎊 🍾🥂!!!
Thanks! Happy new year!
Interesting, so I'll keep on watching. Thank you and may you have a Prosperous New Year!!!
Thanks! Happy new years to you!
I appreciate your hard, detailed work! Here's to an even better 2024! Thank's so much for all your vlogs zu far! 🥇
Thanks a ton!
Here's to another great year!
Thanks man! Cheers!
Love your vids, thanks for making amazing trip reports!
Thank you!!
I’m looking forward to your 2024 videos. I love the way you always find something nice to say even if it’s not very good. You are very good at critiquing without being mean. Speaking of mean, I was reading a lot of the comments you posted at the beginning of this video. People suck sometimes.😂 Keep up the good work. I for one will be along for the ride.
Ha! Thanks man! I appreciate it
Love the content!!
Thanks homie
Congratulations on a great year. I have really enjoyed your series “The Ones” since it is original and cool! Also the quirky and off the beaten path flights like the Azores, Bhutan and Kazakstan. Happy New Year 🎉.
Thanks a bunch! Good to hear! Happy new year!
Looking forward to more reviews 🎉
Thanks!!
Good for you! I love your sense of humor about yourself. Keep up the fine work.
Ha! Thanks a ton!
Great video! Informative and entertaining at the same time. You're doing an excellent job. Thank you from Munich and God bless you for 2024!
Thank you! Cheers to a good 2024 where I’m sure I’ll end up in Munich more than once
My favourite airline vlog now Patrick. Keep it up, including your style. I'll be watching.
Thanks! I appreciate it!
Thank you for your awesome videos . Its another world to me . Nobody does this better . Cheers for 2024 . I'll be watching
Thanks so much! Great to hear!
Awesome video! I’m looking forward to the 24hrs series and the other videos you have coming up!
Thanks for making these videos!
Thank you! Good to hear!
Like how fair, honest and creative you are with each airline you have used and travelled on, keep up the traveling and looking forward to 2024 in your videos
Thanks man! I appreciate it
It's been a long time since I discovered your channel, and you became one of my favorite avgeek . Congratulations on your amazing year 👏 😊. Waiting patiently your review on the New Air India A350-900 soon. 😊
I stumbled upon your COPA airline video earlier this year and have been watching your weekly videos ever since! I actually look forward to them. Congratulation on the channel growth!! Also, I went through the same thing for a Nigerian Visa this summer, i'm glad I got a 5 year visa because I cant go through that again!
Awesome! Thanks! And it’s good to know that we are all in the same boat with these visas
Great video Patrick, love your channel and Happy New Year. I'm flying United this week for the first time in a while, ORD-PSP and did a paid upgrade to First. Will be on an A319. It obviously won't be international caliber but it will be nice to be in a premium cabin. Have not flown United in First in years.
Thanks! Safe travels and happy new year!
One of the swaggiest flight reviewers out there. Congrats on a great year Patrick, can’t wait for more videos in 2024!
You know it! Ha! Thanks!
I love flying in the A350. Even more than a 787.
I gotta agree with that… the A350 is incredible
Amazing video from Nigeria🔥🔥
Thanks bro!
Happy New Year! I've been silently watching your videos and love your content. I'd love to see you try out new airlines for example: Ghana Airlines, a new Ghana-based carrier that has plans of launching soon or the new flag carrier of Malta. (maybe you could snag an inaugural seat!) Regardless, can't wait for the content you have planned for 2024! ✈
I saw renderings of a potential Ghanaian 787… that really piqued my interest!
Hi Patrick
What an interesting Year End video! I enjoy this video as you explained your objectives of travel on different airlines, different routes, different connecting points, different of everything...
I enjoy checking different airlines, routes and price to get the best deal too.
As flight video report, we are more interested in the airport, flights etc..its alright not to show your face.
I will enjoy chating, sharing these experiences, information with you in future too.
Happy 2024 and looking forward to more of your video on the way.
Thanks man! Cheers to 2024!
love your videos especially since I’m from the bay too!
Hell yea! Thats awesome
Way to go buddy!! Waiting to see more of your travelogues..sad to see no mention of getting a pair of new shoes though😅 in this video!
New shoes may or may not have been on my Christmas list 🤫🤫
Congrats Pat! Stay classy.
Thanks a bunch dude!
haha great intro - lookin sharp dude breakin a new record too! the PAL biz flight was how i stumbled upon you btw. no breaks for Air Algérie eh lol and surely Garuda being top of mind and freshly done is in no way influencing its ranking - the 24h whirlwind sounds like a great idea and a few more The Ones + inaugurals get a thumbs up from me and ooo Air Tanzania #nice | roasting you on your unique idiosyncrasies is the best part of my week haha HNY! onwards and upwards!
Thanks man!! Great to have you along for the ride!
'There's basically one airline from each continent in the Northern Hemisphere' - except that Qatar and South Korea are on the same continent. People often forget that the Middle East is really just West Asia! 😄
Keep up the good work! Looking forward to more of your videos this year 👍👍
Ha I know it counts as Asia on paper, but Middle East has its own cultural identity it feels like. Thanks man!
@@PatrickSheaAviation Well, yes and no, I think? The same could be said of all of Asia - culturally, the Confucians (Chinese, Japanese, Koreans) are not like the Austronesians (the Malays and the Indonesians) who are in turn not like those on the Indian subcontinent. And yet, from West to East Asia, you find very similar attitudes towards honour and shame, social values, etc. There is definitely more in common between East and West Asians than, say, between Asia and Europe-North America.
But this is just me sharing my thoughts and observations - I don't want to bog you down in an extended discussion of this. You certainly have better things to do, like flying! 😁 Have a great day and better 2024!
CONGRATULATIONS on 20K subscribers & HAPPY NEW YEAR! Swanky Tux! Wow ---> incredible statistics, flights & destinations. A cockroach ?!?!?! Looking forward to more videos in 2024 !!! P.S. you should wear a tux on every 1st Class flight. Also your videos tend to be on the longer side which might turn some people off 27:34
Thanks man!
Wow did not know that you only started the whole thing (traveling abroad and flying business class) 2 years ago! Recently got into your channel because of the Luanda to Sao Paulo flight and watching your video being so great I thought you have been doing this kind of things for a long time.
I am Chinese living in the US and have recently been talking with my friend in China about unique routes from China and we talked about really wanting to try Tanzania Airlines Guangzhou - Zanzibar route (I learned a little bit Swahili in college so have always wanted to visited Zanzibar anyway) so am definitely looking forward to your flight experience on Tanzania flight from Dar es Salaam to Guangzhou! Another interesting recently added route from China is Zhengzhou to Luxembourg City, the only flight from a Chinese city to Luxembourg and it is interesting that it goes to a second tier Chinese city rather than a larger one.
Awesome! Thanks! I’m very excited for Air Tanzania this year!
Great review, PS!
Thanks!
I love the intro
HI Patrick, I've watched a lot of your vids now for some time and I'm both glad you did this one and that I watched it. It humanized you and not that I had any type of bad opinion of you but this video raised it (I hope that comes across as I'm meaning it, it's kinda hard to put into words). You're a very interesting guy. One funny thing I noticed early on was the In-N-Out sticker on your laptop...I live in PHX and yeah, they RULE! LOL I really enjoy your vids; it's just amazing how such a young guy, and with as you said 2 jobs, manages to travel so much all over the world. I've been honestly stunned at some of the truly off-the-beaten path airlines/flights/countries you've done...like the MIAT flight from ULN to FRA. Those are the most fun; there's a zillion vids about EK First Class, but not MIAT in any class! The one thing I'd ask though is that you stop with the "we" and "our" phraseology you do many times; it's clear you're always traveling alone, and saying something like "as soon as we...." or "we got to the lounge" sounds like the so-called "Royal we" which comes across as, well, a "Royal we". It then sounds sillier when in the next sentence you've sometimes then said a "I" or "me". Just stick with "I" or "me" LOL And keep on traveling! You've clearly been blessed with some kind of good fortune allowing you to do this and you should make the most of it. You do this humbly enough that it makes it enjoyable to live vicariously! Take care and safe travels in 24!
oh and p.s. about music...do the type that Flightradar24 and Gabe Leigh use on their channels and at the same intervals, watch and see what I mean, they do it pretty perfectly. Cheers!
Thanks man! Tbh I couldn’t tell you why I use “we” and “our”. I typically travel solo, so maybe it’s subconsciously how I address “myself and the viewers” but who knows 🤷♂️
Well,well, what a handsome youtuber😮🎉
Yeah, I was one of those who blew up the views on your UA SFO-MNL flight vlog. That's because, as a Filipino, I'm just thrilled to see a new option other than Philippine Airlines to directly fly to the US Mainland non-stop, and like you said before, competition surely benefits the consumers.
I also got touched when 2 of your top 3 most viewed videos, as you said, were flights to/from Manila. 🇵🇭
Anyhoo, keep those great contents going this 2024! 🎉
Awesome! Thanks for the year of support! Cheers to 2023!
For me I found Japan Airlines process on arrival hands down fantastic they helped me get through immigration on arrival within max 10-20 minutes which is awesome
Im really excited to try Japan airlines new A350 product from JFK to tokyo there new buisness class looks to be on par now to ANA all enclosed buisness class and a very updated product which It sounds like is in the works for SFO down road but no date for that Ive really good things about Japan airlines new A350 buisness and 1st class services
bro you the best
Thanks homie
Something that would be cool to see as a trip report would be Porter airlines out of SFO on the embraer. The inaugural is in a few days but even if it isn’t it would still be awesome!
Hi Patrick - I recently found your channel and love your videos. I live in Los Angeles now, but graduated from USF and lived in the
Bay Area for a long time, so I feel like we're kindred spirts! Don't listen to the haters (if you are) - they suck and are ridiculous. The love you have for aviation totally resonates in your channel. My grandfather was a pilot for the old Northwest Orient Airlines (in fact, I have a cool photo of him on a NW Orient plane with Bob Hope during WWII) and my father had his pilot's license. Keep flying and doing YOU! Cheers to 2024! P.S. You mentioned that you are "horrible" at mileage redemption; you might want to reach out to NonStop Dan - he's awesome and self-funds all his trips mainly through mileage redemption!!! I also subscribe to his channel.
Awesome. Thanks a ton! Glad to have you here
Blimey! what a "chic" video review start, brilliant!, you're "all pressed and dressed", and quite a young bloke to be a pilot!. I can only say that along with another airline reviewer: Noel Phillips you're both my two favourites since you're very accurately in your reviews, and mostly you're very respectful when it comes to do the reviews, you're a Gent. About Air Algeria? yes I have seen a couple of other reviewers and they all said the same, bad service on that airline. I'm a traveller myself, and thankfully enough, languages are no barrier for me since I speak several. Also, I saw, while you were showing some airlines, TAAG, Linhas Aereas de Angola, which I'd like to see a video on that particular one; it flies Sao Paulo-Luanda, and perhaps some US destination to Angola..?? and also a review on LATAM (former LAN) business to see your views on those two Airlines.
Do hope you keep on flying, since watching your channel, in this very own personal bad year I had, you made my days more pleasant, enjoying your flights, so cheers thanks for that Patrick...Do keep it up for 2024, so "SALUDOS, Salutations, Saluti, Saudações Vær hilset, Grüße, hälsningar, Groete.......👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Very kind words! Thank you so much! Here’s to a much better 2024 🥂
Cheers Patrick
Wow! you are brutally honest.
🤷♂️
You are really good looking ❤
Thx for your support to garuda indonesia dude...
I loved my Garuda flight
Yes sir keep up the excellent work
Thanks!
Love the content. If you’re looking for Lufthansa inaugurals, they launch to RDU in 2024 on the A333 (I forget which month they’ll launch)
Good to know! Sounds like LH has a few big new flights coming up
I have to admit i agreed with these complaints about you from the very first videos i watched: talk too much, dirty shoes, ...😂😂😂 but after all, i realize you make your contents with much of natural moods and voice tone and like a trip diary that could match some people's interest and that's good enough. Please keep up your work like this and be yourself. I work in aviation from attendant to ground staff and honestly i don't really trust or like some famous bloggers on social media now when they're paid this way or another to put/leave best reviews on the airlines they travel with or turn the otherside when the airlines don't satisfy or please them maximum as they want. And when we serve them, we are informed well who they are and sometimes have to pretend to be nicest and do extra or even exceptional things for them just to have good reviews in return, that's all lies and fake. Hope you're always be a true blogger/avgeek and bring us the accurate information with neutral comments from your own experiences.❤
Thanks man!
Inn' he cute, y'all?
Sure is! 😅
Thanks Patrick for this great review. I always enjoy your natural style of review.
In Africa, we have limited widebody operators, however, I will recommend you try the following;
Uganda Airlines A330neo - EBB/DXB
Rwanda Air A330 KGL / LOS : KGL/BRU : KGL/LHR
Egypt Air - They have several widebodies and even direct services from CAI to YYZ and JFK
South African Airways has A330s from JNB to LOS/ACC and GIG
From MAR 2024 - Brussels Airlines is re-starting BRU/NBO on their A330s
Looking forward to enjoying your trip reviews and wish you many safe and happy flights.
Cheers//.. John
Don't forget Africa's biggest carrier - Ethiopian Airlines.... They have numerous A350 / B787 operating within Africa
There may or may not be a RwandAir A330 video coming in a couple weeks 🤫
Thanks man!
I don't mind the music too much I like how you cut it during take off/landing though and what are the songs called?
Good to hear! I just get all my music from Epidemic Sound
Curious, are you doing the DELTA inaugural flight from Seattle to Taipei in June?
I am looking at it for sure. No official plans just yet
One, Two, Three viva Air Algérie 👏🏼😂
You are so cute 🥰
This may just be shameless Canadian self talking, but i would love to see more videos about Canadian airlines, in Canada, etc. I know WestJet has many new international inaugural routes out of Halifax, Calgary, Toronto, and St. Johns. Another Canadian gem is the Air Inuit 737-200s that fly in northern Quebec. As well as Air Transat being the only carrier to fly from North America to airports such as Basel Mulhouse Freiburg (BSL), Nantes (NTE), Marseille (MRS), Bordeaux (BOD), Lemezia Terme (SUF), and even Marrakech (RAK) another inaugural.
I do need to get up into Canada more. YVR seems to be growing its trans-pacific portfolio and I’m trying to get onto one of those. Air Transat’s growth also seems to be fun and interesting
Yikes! What's up with all comments about your shoes, Patrick?! Wasn't expecting that. Not my style of footwear but it never really bothered me. Your voice certainly is not annoying and I never thought you were expecting anyone to "roll out the red carpet" for you. Ilyen as élet! (C'est la vie!) I hope those viewers with those really negative comments are being just as judgmental with other vloggers like Josh Cahill, Nonstop Dan, Sam Chui, Noel Phillips and more. They are deserving of those comments, not you.
That first question you addressed about why there isn't more footage of yourself is EXACTLY why I like you and why I don't like the vloggers I just mentioned above. This is supposed to be a video about the airline: the service, the amenities and the overall experience and not about you. You're not a narcissist and don't have an over inflated ego. So, keep doing what you're doing and don't change who you are because there really isn't much to criticize.
One question for you Patrick; Do you speak any other languages? (Not asking for fluency, but are you conversational or know the basics of any other languages?) Please, lmk, I'm just curious.
Keep up the good work in 2024, Patrick. You're doing an excellent job as far as I'm concerned. 🍾🥂👍
Super kind of you. Thanks!! I do speak enough Spanish to get by, but I wouldn’t say “fluent”
I agree with you on the fact that his channel is about the experience of travelling, not about himself. The other guy who does that on his channel in Flip Flop Traveller. These two are really my favourite RUclipsrs on airlines.
Etihad inagural flights from Abu Dhabi to Denpasar Bali in April sounds interesting
That IS interesting! I wonder what kind of fanfare they’ll have. I may have to look into it
Are you gonna fly Air Premia's inaugural flight to San Francisco in May? That would be interesting.
I’m thinking about it. No plans yet
Okay. You shouldn't have flown the Air Premia inaugural flight to Honolulu on new year's eye, but that's okay.
haaha, great vid lol
Thanks dawg
air algerie who were just dismantled during this video 🤣 I hope that with their 737max9 their a330 900 and their a350 1000 to become a great company thanks to all the changes they are making perhaps in the ranking of the best airlines Africa?
Patrick: I don’t speak French or Arabic.
Patrick: And the Pièce de résistance flight…. 😂
*selective French* I guess 🤣
If you ever get a chance Visit Nepal
It’s in my plans! I am supposed to be visiting Kathmandu and Lukla this year! Excited for Nepal Airways!
Can you try to fly Air Canada flight 1 from Toronto - Tokyo Haneda?
Totally! It had been paused during Covid I believe (or at least that flight number) but now I’m working on catching up on em!
4:43, Really, 53 remote stands? Wow. Mine is 5, 1 in Sydney on Jetstar, Ho Chi Minh on Vietjet, London Luton on Easyjet, Lisbon on Tap air Portugal and Muscat on Salam air. Which country has your most remote stand? I am curious.
Surprisingly Doha and Frankfurt had the most remote stands for me this year
Wow.
@@PatrickSheaAviation Probably because you took a lot of african flights? Less prestigoues destinations tend to get remate stands more often. (like my everytime i go to vietnam)
@@HelloOnepiece possibly although I got plenty of remote stands on flight to and from the US too
If you’re a pilot, why don’t you fly on zed fares. You could fly Polaris class (for example) for like $300
He’s not a commercial airline pilot
@@chrisspatcher2800 you don’t have to be. It depends on the company though
I know - I work in the industry. But saying he’s a pilot, everyone assumes he holds an ATP certificate, not the case.
These are his ratings -
COMMERCIAL PILOT
AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE LAND
AIRPLANE SINGLE ENGINE SEA
AIRPLANE MULTIENGINE LAND
INSTRUMENT AIRPLANE
If I’m traveling on zed or discounted tickets, I don’t use them for videos actually. It goes against the limitations of it
5:12, Wow you flew 152th flight in 2023 in 3 or 4 different cabin, that's a lot of flights, miles and you earn a lot of miles to fly in 1st and business class.
Well done, Patrick! Really enjoying all your unbiased reviews! And lot of creative contents like The Ones! Please, please don't ever become a whining little b*tch a la Josh Cahil and Noel Philip. 😆
The high queen Non Stop Dan has to be the #1 whining b****
I’m so glad I’m not the only that thinks those two are whining 24/7. And I loved them both.
Thanks man!
hey pat why dont u start a discird
Interesting… maybe
forget the clowns and their comments (keep exposing them in your vids tho pls - for entertainment and tragicomic value 😂) love your work 🤙
Ha! Thanks dawg!
Are you considering starting a patreon page?
I’m working on setting it up. Should be up and running soon
The comments about your shoes. 🤣🤣🤣 Hilarious. But lowkey, you really do get your monies worth out of your shoes.
Ha! Yes! The shoes have seen things 🤣
I thought Petrick Shea's name was Chinese Singaporean, but it turns out he's a westerner😂🤣
“Patrick Shea” is 100% Irish for sure! Although I do enjoy Singapore
Interesting choice for worst airport of the year 😂
Nah man… EWR is straight dead to me at this point 🤣🤣
You should do like an island series
What do you mean by “island series”?
@PatrickSheaAviation ok, so you only fly to islands. Check out the airports and lounges and then a review of the best experience.
@@Masterleechan I like that!
Your creative potential seems limitless. Congratulations
