    Important lesson from this episode: Always be extremely polite to your gate agent (and other customer service workers) and they'll usually do their best to help you out. Don't be a dick regardless, since they're human beings and deserve respect, but especially don't be a dick when you need them to go the extra mile for you.

      Something that seems really hard to understand for some people. I work for the Gouvernement and I have a roll where I can decide how long you will have to wait to get your money from the Gouvernement. It's Incredible how many people have a hard time to get that and are extremely rude and aggressiv. And normally I do everything I can to help the people as fast as I can. I know that some of them really need to get the money to survive, but boy, you start to be rude and you can be sure that your waiting time will be longer....

    The idea for the flop is very interesting but it transformed into burning thru tickets until i get a plane ticket, 3 episodes in and there were no other form of transportation than plane, i think it would be grate if the plane was in first two days to get out of Alaska and then there should be using more car/train tickets

    • @uonia
      @uonia 10 месяцев назад +111

      It is a little bit boring that they are only traveling by plane for the most part, but I think part of the fun of Jet Lag is going to all sorts of different places and doing wacky things, giving an opportunity to explore the world in a unique way, and having to burn through cards by doing a bunch of challenges allows for them to do that. The Flop also allows for more strategy than the random cards and points system in previous seasons. It needs a bit more work balancing the different forms of transportation, but I think it could work well if done right.

    This is another reason why I don't believe they shouldn't be able to just discard a card once they are able to claim a new one. They should HAVE to have an open spot, and if they do not, they MUST use the ticket before they can get a new ticket. This way it becomes a bit more competitive. They got this ticket while Ben and Adam were in the air, and while yes, Ben and Adam did the same thing, they had a slot open to be able to, it was a calculated risk for them to go on the flight when it was available.

Legitimately it is a professional sport in the Jockey section. It's a total free for all frenzy and organized chaos as most people who go learn the shipment and cart refreshing schedules they have there and specifically schedule themselves to get there early and directly into position at specific carts. It's a unique part of geekdom in all honesty. I've been to them during these chaotic times and in the "off" hours where it calms way down after already being thoroughly ransacked by collectors and resale nuts, and a family friend used to be one of those geeks.

    Okay, here's my pitch for a Jet Lag season.
    Set up a capture point for each major town, city, attraction ala NZ. Once a team completes a challenge there, it gets claimed for them and they earn a token from it.
    If you're at a capture point you control and have a token for another capture point you control, you can make a connection between them. If you create an enclosed area with these connections, you claim the territory inside. Connections can't cross each other, nor can you make connections within an already claimed territory (but from the outside is fine).
    Teams can neutralise enemy capture points by doing a challenge there as well. (Maybe a battle?)
    Tokens can alternatively be spent on cards similar to Japan/NZ such as tower cards, trap cards, power ups etc.
    At the end of each day, the area of each team's claims is summed and added to their scores, and the field is reset.
    PS: Jet Lag in the UK would be cool.
