Jayden and 6’4” living their best lives in Iceland!❤️✈️
hehe thanks Diane!
Thanks Jayden and 6'4" for showing me a country I can definitely cross off the bucket list.
thanks for watching! Gogogo!
Great video Jayden! Stroopwafles was my new favourite snack after I visited Amsterdam and brought lots of parks to bring back to Australia. Also at those prices Iceland air should give complimentary food and drinks, to make it more appealing over the low-cost carriers. Interesting you chose to stay out of the city centre.
The Icelandair service at the terminal in Amsterdam seemed a bit icy .
I can hear the wind outside where I am in Northern California. I got feeling cold watching you in Iceland. Thanks for his very nice, northern hemisphere episode. Cheers.
A well-made vlog and very informative. Nice too for not having music playing in the background.
Oh yes, no intrusive music or random video clips from random comedy shows too. On that subject, cut the comedy on the flight safety seat belt info too.
I flew Icelandair in 2014. Back then, all they had was the 757's. While I liked the airline, they were having labor problems and rolling strikes which resulted in the cancellation of our flight from JFK to KEF. We had no problem on the return to JFK but I didn't breath a sigh of relief until we were wheels up out of KEF. Iceland is a beautiful country and a trip worth taking but the Icelandair experience was stressful due to the unpredictable labor situation. I hope by now, it's all been sorted out.
Safe travel! Have an amazing week! Cheers.
Hope they tightened the bolts on that Max 9 before you got on board! 😮😅😂
So nice to see you in Amsterdam! I'm sorry you experienced such horrible Dutch weather. Come back between May and September, it is (usually) much better. Great trip report. Iceland looked beautiful! and windy! Not sure why they checked your carry on bags like that. Maybe due to the change in aircraft? I love the 757 too. Great recording quality with your phone. I can never capture airline menus so clearly. Well done.
will definitely revisit Amsterdam soon!
I think the crew was over-worried about the bins running out of space haha
they force bag checks all the time at Schiphol, I've had the same thing with aegean, Lufthansa, tap, etc. The staff just want to get the flight away sooner
Thanks for another great video. 16:23 reminds me of the Antonov An-225 Mriya!
What a stunning and fascinating part of the world. You`re really spreading your wings these days! It`s just a pity you had your aircraft switched on not one but both sectors. Thanks for posting Jayden.
thanks Pierre, we are flying JAL 767 next month. That'll do haha
They always fold the bedding like that in Iceland Im not sure why amazing report , really Iceland is unbelievable
I noticed the same in Prague too. Two blankets for a king bed. very weird🤣
I Like Schiphol Because It So Easy To Navigate.Great Trip Report
I agree, very busy but organised
Thanks Jayden. Very good video and info for my next trip to Iceland
thanks Joseph, hope you get to visit soon :)
Starting to get weird me and my boyfriend booked Rome for March and did Amsterdam for valentines 😂 and I’m 6ft 4… Let us know if you’re planning to come to the UK! 😅
LOVE THE BLOGS THAT SHOW THE COUNTRY....
i am amazed that you all got out in that weather......loved 6ft4's orange cap.....i would need lined pants and several layers to go out in that weather...SO ADMIRE YOU BOTH....
need to get the hotel to do your laundry.....etc....yes they do it for a fee but it not much ...saves time....etc.....
Ahaha I was wearinng uniqlo heat-tech all over🤣 Saved thousands doing laundry myself
@@JaydenWong good....but still to COLD for me.....i would need to wear lined pants....as well as several layers.....
i also do my own laundry when i travel.....do not want to waste time with hotel service even though it is convenient...
have a good time in ICELAND....seeing all the sights .....
really appreciate your videos
Super cool bag drop machine! I havent flown through AMS in years but i enjoyed it back in the day before it got too crowded. I hope they get their staffing issues sorted for thr summer travel season.
Good call on the stroopwaffels. Surprised they dont have them in AUS, you can find them in the US, and even UA serve mini stroopwaffels on domestic flights.
Cool Iceland vlog. Was nice to see everything in your Insta stories tied together.
Hi Jayden thank you for the video always wanted to go to Iceland but never got there so I'm glad you have taken us there.Hope you both have a great time. That view from hotel room was amazing so beautiful.
glad you enjoyed this episode Maureen :) Have a good day!
Another Beautiful video, jayden. You're getting more and more professional. Particularly enjoyed this one, for sentimental reasons : flew Icelandair on the LUX-KEF-ORD and return. The first time I flew to the USA. Operated by a DC 68 super 63. It involved a 60 minute stopover in Iceland and a change of crew. Beautiful memories (1982)
Love you both❤❤
Great review and vlog as always Jayden! Looks like you and 6ft 4 really loved Iceland, looks like a real winter wonderland!
thanks Liam! It was a big fat tick in our bucket list! Would love to revisit one day
So enjoyable you are!
I nearly forgot to comment!! 😢 what should I say?? Great video again Jayden can’t wait for next Thursdays video!
Hey Jayden and 6ft4 👋 So next leg of your European trip hey. What a debacle with boarding and bags, not to mention, not the plane you wanted😢
Glad you brought your own snacks. Looked tasty 😛
That airport looks like it's in the middle of nowhere 😳
Food looked delicious 😋 at the Hilton.
Stunning icecave and surrounding area 👌
Can't believe the prices are so steep 😮 Glad you could eat at the Hilton.
Great Vlog 👍 Looking forward to your next port of call. Hugs 🤗👋
Nice vlog Jayden, as always. I'm going to KEF in 6 months!
Great video, Jayden! I actually stayed in the same Hilton when I was in Amsterdam. Definitely very convenient. I couldn't figure out what the deal was with checking in all the carry ons. What a hassle for the passengers and the staff. I don't see the upside there. Sounds like the flight went well outside of that. Glad you were enjoying your time in Iceland. That was a lovely view from your room. It's a beautiful country but so expensive. The high cost has inhibited me from going there. Maybe some day.
yep other than the bags issue, the flight was fine! Crew nice, and tasty Icelandic glacial water 🤣
Jayden, I’m going to Sydney tomorrow I am super exited and another outstanding video!
enjoy your flight, I just flew out from Syndey earlier today :)
great trip report! I've always wanted to visit Iceland and your report makes it more enticing! I don't think we'd fly Icelandair though. Well done! Hopefully you're both in Sydney for Mardi Gras!!
Good Morning from Germany 🇩🇪 Nice to see You in Europe. To feel the Cold 🥶 😉😃😄. Enjoy ur trip. Best wishes to 6,4🙏🙏
Brrrr the ice was dripping from my RUclips screen here in Bangkok. I enjoyed watching you guys.
It’s beautiful looking❤
Great video Jayden - I'm hoping to visit Iceland soon! But having to drive on the other side makes me nervous... Is 6"4 an avgeek as well?
Amazing vid
you were near my house in amsterdam great trip i enjoyed it greetings from the netherlands
19:07 You let out a little "Lah" :)
This is a common ploy with American based carriers as well as the flight crew decides that passengers should unnecessarily check in their carry on bags. It causes unneeded stress.
Plus, he did say a Power bank cannot be placed in the hold as it can become a Fire Hazard.
Lucky you didn’t have a windy landing at KEF 😂 almost always windy. Heeding to China in a couple of days, and expect to divert to Hong Kong at the end of the tour. Looking forward to it.
Haha yes the days we drove around the country were super windy!!
enjoy your trip to China :)
Love the intro music :>
I flew Icelandair 757 pre-covid with a backpack and a carry-on luggage (self-transferring from a long-haul business class) and no one asked me to check-in any of my bags. Things have definitely changed then.
Maybe it's time you create a second channel for the city tours. They are so incredible 🎉🎉❤❤
Maybe one day!
the Sunday buffet at the Nordica is delicious, if you turn left at the road my Cousin is just up the road in Berthoragata
if you want to catch up with an Icelander
When I travelled in Europe, a lot of us got told to check in our bags at the gate because we were told the flight is full and not enough overhead space. It happened departing Malta and Zurich. The overheads ended up rather empty because of it. 🤦
right!!! On the contrary, one time I flew Lufthansa BCN-FRA. Boarding was so slow and gate agent didn't offer gate check... captain PA: Put your luggage ON THE FLOOR... we are late (in a very strong, demanding German accent) 🤣
@@JaydenWong yeah on the BA flight out of ZRH, the FAs were removing winter coats and handbags and giving it back to pax to "put them under the seat, it doesn't belong up there!" 🤣
🥶🥶 it looked so cold in Iceland. But great vlog though!
haha yes Australia is way too hot right now
What was that Cod Liver Oil sign on the breakfast table all about, was it a fishy condiment or something? Thanks for another informative economy class video.
I think you’re met to have it as a shot. Like fish oil in a state of liquid instead of tablets :)
Nice one 👍
Jayden, what did you like most about your visit to Amsterdam ?
public transport- so easy to get around! Streets are clean and pleasant to walk through
Please remember to LIKE guys
Thanks for the travel vlog Jayden. Just a small point ... at AMS when you showed the BA Embraer you noted it was from LCY and you mentioned it (LCY) was a BA hub. But it's not a BA hub like LHR or even LGW. Note that LHR-AMS remains a main BA route and both BA and KLM compete for sixth freedom traffic. Yes lots of BA and KLM flights serve LCY but these mainly cater to point-to-point travellers.
Hi Alex! Ah yes should've mentioned yet, may have sounded like it was just LCY-AMS, sorry!
Good video!
Loved it and how did you like Icelandair B737 Max? Speaking of United Airlines they'll give you a special offer to check-in a carryon for free which should have been done by Icelandair Schiphol Airport seems to rival HKG and KIX. 2:35 AA B787-8 which you did before. FI also uses the Max on KEF-EWR
Long Live IcelandAir!!! 25:00 --- so stunning and scenic!!! 👍👍👍 Hilton is luxurious. 😃😃😃
loved the view! Wonder what the locals thought of us admiring the hills🤣
I lived around 3 minutes walk from Halgrimskirkja in Bergthoragata
The gate staff probably think there's no overhead lockers for this flight 🤷♂
It is understandable if the staff request passengers to check in hand luggage if possible if it was a turboprop flight, due to the limited space of the overhead locker or there is even none at all. Even if there is no overhead locker for the flight, you can still hand in your hand luggage to the ground staff before boarding and collect them at the tarmac of your destination once you get off the plane. One good example of this is FlyPelican (a local airline based in Newcastle NSW), with Jetstream 32 being the sole aircraft type model, which doesn't have overhead lockers, any carry on luggage needs to be handed into or collected from the ground staff before or after the flight respectively
yeah I thought that was the reason but very weird to make everyone to check their bags including backpacks. Thanks Calvin!
Whoa Whoa. Those two burgers + fries and a drink from Burger King was 24 euros? That's $40 AUD.
Jesus thats crazy expensive. And the burgers looked flat and soggy......eewwwwwwwwwwwwww.
But then thats normal for burger king
Hi Jayden. I love your videos. Quick question. At 6:48 was that a plane on top of the terminal that I saw?
yep it's a Fokker 100 on display: www.schiphol.nl/en/page/see-the-planes-up-close/
:)
I am surprised you didn't mention anything about why an aircraft was parked on top of the AMS terminal building.
I was hoping you were on a 75 as that’s what Icelandair usually flies out of SEA. Looking forward to the rest of the Vlog!
Next time! 🤞🏻 definitely a country that I'll revisit if I have the chance
How on earth did you get that laundry dried? Surely there must have been a local coin-op laundry round there? I would have used that.
it was dried by the next morning we woke up! I personally don't like going to a laundromat, especially in that weather 🤣
You flew a B737 MAX9? You are a braver man than me, sir.
ahaha yes
and you all went in the summer.....but it looked COLD
Would it be cheeky to suggest that 6'4" has married a Crazy Rich Asian?😂😂😂
🤣
Wow icelanair 737 max 9
You’re doing laundry in the bathtub 😅. I think they have washing machines in Island 😂😂
too expensive to do it in hotel, no time to go out🤣
@@JaydenWong 🤣🤣👍
That’s Amsterdam for you. Walk outside your accommodation and you’re literally on the doorstep of a train station that can take you anywhere you could want/need to go
love it!!
Oh. Where the coat hook?!?! 😂
no have :/
@@JaydenWong no wonder lah! 🤪
Hi there Jayden. It’s not often I am envious of someone else’s travel destination but Iceland looks amazing. It wasn’t a trendy destination back in the day. Hope you guys are enjoying travelling together as it’s nice to share those travel experiences.
BTW did you send those nudes? 🤣😂 (As written in the snow)
Cheers
Hi Peter! We were glad that we went even though we missed out on the 757 and 767 haha. Very expensive too but money will come back 🤣
No la, no nudes, 6'4 doesn't need it
@@JaydenWong livestream for 6’ 4”👍🤣 cheers Jayden. Hope you both had a great time there. North America and Western Europe are mega expensive for Aussies. 😞
good video
How much did you pay to take a train to the airport in Amsterdam and rent a car in Iceland? I am curious.
8:59, Really? No way. I been to Amsterdam for the 1st time last June from London Luton to Amsterdam on Easyjet and flight is good and okay, 45 minutes.
😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Great video but you can have the cold lol..... will stay in Florida!
got used to the cold🤣 75F today in Sydney and I was melting
24 euros for two burger king cheeseburgers and a shared fries sounds about right
Wow 24 euro for little burgers and chips a bit of a rip off !
3:26 So Iceland is 11 hours ahead of Amsterdam??
should’ve been 11:31am
€24 for what looks like two Maccas burgers- yikes.
Didn’t think they could force passengers to check in carry on .
What if you had medication or something important in there?
That’s stupid.
Iceland looks like a nice place to visit but too gloomy and depressing to live there.
22:27 😂
Yeah so she basically directed everyone who a carry on bag (or in my case a second small bag) to a manual boarding lane where another agent will process your check in…
and yes nothing in that food court was priced reasonably!🤣
Maybe needed to make some extra revenue to pay for the free coffee Tea etc lol😅
but it’s free! they didn’t charge for the bags🤣
3:42 aircrew are so skinny
Get the Hilton to do your laundry. Get the Hilton to do all your chores. Otherwise what's the point of staying with Hilton?
the laundry charge was going to cost more than my return flight🤣
Not worth it imo. No free meals?
Jayden just convinced me not to fly Iceland air
🤣
People who found AN124 👇
Mate you and 6.4 look cute together are you a couple?
Lol "People mountain people sea". 🫰
