Hi I love your videos I’m disabled due to a Disease in my spine. I love aviation and if it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t see any of these amazing aircraft & the places you visit. Thank you scott
@MattPandaYT i think he meant thank you, scott numbnuts
@MattPandaYT He meant like this.
Thank you. Scott
@Matthew McClymont chut up
scott halls I too am disabled so I love the videos
Hi Scott I also have a disability and invisible to many and some people say that I don’t even I have autism and this is why I’m interested in aviation
I've stayed at the JFK Inn when I was a flight attendant. I'm so sorry you had to deal with it.
@@justme-hh4vp Someplace that did not pay attention to the reviews. Most people view it as a place that should be closed down.
@Rusty Trombone probably cooler than anything you've ever done
😢☹️
I've got to say that no matter how much that awful room cost after opening the door, seeing that depressing room and that awful smell I wouldn't even put my bags down...you're more forgiving than I Noel.:)
One consolation at least you avoided room 3...a bijou cupboard under the stairs, incorporating a lovely 1960's sleeping bag that's never been washed.
Noel, you certainly go that extra mile for us subscribers and all jokes aside it doesn't go un-noticed or appreciated by the vast majority, a massive thank-you for all your vids they are truly excellent.
Thank you so much! I may have just stayed somewhere worse than that - watch this space for my upcoming Lukla video 😂
Some of the reviews into this place are amazing--one guy hated the room so much he got out of his room and spent the rest of the night in his car
I recently discovered you. And I am already addicted👍👍👍😊
Awesome, welcome to the channel :) . Thanks for watching!
After watching your 71 hour flight one, I’m looking forward to this. Do more like this!
Thanks Mehmet!
inflight Video Yes please do more of these videos!
I can't but second that
I’m from NY and the minute I seen you pull up at the JFK INN I knew it was gonna be bad for you 😬, that’s the type of hotel you sleep with all your clothes on and don’t take your shoes off. 🤣 I love all these videos, these are great, it’s nice to see places that I know I’ll never get to in my lifetime and I also love all the full in-flight videos too. Thank you for doing them 😁
Yeah, as soon as I saw the color changing LEDs by the door, I knew it was going to be bad!
lol, you choose worse hotel, i rather stay in the airport
Meanwhile on PIA'S 777 boeing fleet 😆
I live in NYC and I agree 100% on the JFK inn ;-)
Add the noise from the Belt Parkway.....
Greetings from the Rockaways!
you forgot burning the clothes when he got home
I lost it at "Boeing A380" 🤣🤣
lol
Better than flying on an airbus 777-300
Same at least it is better than flying on an Airbus 777-300er
Aaryan and Aarav Try coming up with your own jokes , a guy above already said that
I really hope that was a joke cause if not I'm hurt
Noel cracks me up with his attempt at American accent. "Best dang BBQ!" Lol.....Famous Dave's is actually quite good, btw. I live just south of DC, so it's cool to see Noel roaming my town in a video. :) Also, very nice nod to Ferris Bueller w/the Chicago music!
Having lived in the DC Metro Area for basically my entire life, I agree. Watching a foreigner wander around a place I'm so familiar with is really entertaining. Especially since he happened to be there during setup for a barbecue festival.
Wow you lucky man, you flew on the worlds only Boeing A380. I really wanted to fly this, but never catched it. Grat video. Thx.
Caught
Alex's Flight Channel bruh
Alex's Flight Channel I don’t think English is his native language based of the videos on his channel. Give him a break.
Alex's Flight Channel he men! Dis ez noot cul bc wes in thee onews!
No there are 2 B380s
Love that you have airline seats at home, dedication
“LaGuardia isn’t the best” is the understatement of the century
The Brits always understate, unless they're cut off in traffic that is.
@@brianevans656 don’t be a patriot in a British video
@@alfieinnit6859 how was that patriotism, he just said that LGA is improving :P
@@brianevans656 i was there yesterday, the entrance to terminal A (i believe the oldest one) looks beautiful and so does the exterior, but the gate i was at was a thing hallway that had 200 people in it, and ofc we were delayed by over an hour, I've seen how the new terminal is looking, and its amazing
@@adamaviation6236 the original commenter was just havin a laugh
Great video, really enjoyed this. I worked in aviation for about 10 years in security and then airfield ops, and I’m still obsessed with planes and travel, so I really appreciate these videos you do. Keep going Noel.
Gordon Ramsay should visit the JFK INN as part of his Hotel Hell series!
Probably isnt the best feeling when the pilot doesnt know what plane he’s flying😂😂
That was an FA. Not the pilot.
@@glinkglow still not great tho
airbus
i think that was the flight attendant making that announcement . . .
As long as he remembers flaps and to lower the landing gear it's all good ..
It’s sad to see Boeing discontinuing their biggest aircraft named the A380! Now Airbus will dominate with their B747!!!!
Conrad lol
Still better than the airbus 737-800
hahha
And now airbus is chopping the 747!!!! Lol
With EU breaking into pieces, good luck on airbus imitation of Boing lol 😂
I know this is an older video so you might know this about Southwest by now.
I have fibromyalgia and lupus. After clearing security go to your gate and ask for a medical preboard card. This allows the disabled person plus one (and kids if you decided to bring them.) To board first.
They are amazing with getting a wheelchair for you even if you didnt request one at booking or check in.
Once I was traveling alone with my then 2 year old and fell banging my knee. First aid was given to prevent an autoimmune flare as much as possible. They called ahead for a wheelchair while we were still in the air.
Well we were late and the last flight landing for the day. So no porters to bring a wheelchair. A ground crew person hijacked a wheelchair and left it at the gate with the promise to come push me as soon as the luggage was offloaded. Didn't need to wait. The pilot pushed me and purser carried my daughter who was dead asleep. She felt my daughter's weight might add to a flare due to her personal experience with a family member with fibromyalgia.
They delivered us to my waiting husband at baggage claim and insisted walking us the few hundred feet to disabled parking.
I fly Southwest the most and have had no complaints. There have been lost or damaged bags and they are replaced or money given to solve the problem.
I agree with you. I have some problems with my knees and once while my husband and I traveled to New Orleans we did a lot of walking, my knee flared up and I was forced to buy a cane while there to give me some support. When my husband and I checked in to return home, the desk agent gave me a handicap card instantly. I never asked for it. I loved it and was able to get on the flight first because of it. I didn't even ask for it. I will fly with them again when we get a chance.
Southwest is definitely the best airline in the US.
That's really good to hear, I look forward to flying southwest some time.
I was going to make a House reference lol but it got wholesome ☺️♥️
Jeez. I would not have slept in that bed @ the JFK Inn unless I was wearing a NASA space suit! Yikes! Great video.
Love the choice of music for the Chicago part of the video . A nice subtle homage to Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.
I’ve driven past the JFK INN many times but I would never ever consider staying there. Not even as a last resort. And I’m not a hotel snob by any means. Noel, you’re a brave man, that is one trashy hotel. To be fair, none of the JFK airport hotels are particularly good and certainly not a good value (with the possible exception of the TWA Hotel) but you picked just about the worst of the bunch. Pro tip, at least try and stay with chain you’ve heard of, and trust they’ll have some sort of standard - even if not a very high one. At least you can leverage some points or a free stay somewhere else if things really don’t go well. But places like the JFK INN are the domain of people of the night, owned and run by people who just don’t care, and it’s full of ‘guests’ who don’t normally stay at hotels but have no other choice. I have to admit I laughed at Judge Judy being blasted from the room next door but somehow it also fits the cliche of that type of hotel better than any words ever could.
Oh, by the way, you were almost over my house at 11:41 - and in a bit of fortuitous foreshadowing, there was a glimpse of Judge Judy just a few seconds later! Ha
It was certainly a fun experience, but not one to be repeated! I can stlil smell it now 😂
PS, Their website also has a virus. My computer blocked me. I would of slept in my car
*Sees Mega BBQ Truck*
Noel: I’m going back to the hotel, things are getting weird..
5yrs later: living in Texas.
Great to see the growth Noel! Big fan, I just thought that line was funny in today’s context 😂
Why is this the only “flight review” channel that’s actually interesting to watch? Anyway, well done 🤜
So true! And I include my channel in that :) Noel has some kind of magic for sure!
I think Wingin’ it Paul Lucas is pretty good too
Noel is a travel review Star, Jeb Brooks is fun too
@@seaninlondon4424 just thinking that. Merry Christmas!
Noel taking us to the realistic side of travel - the not-quite-five-star places and travel methods - is intriguing in my opinion. Some other Tubers seem to want to just highlight how posh lifestyle they have managed to build.
Taking a binge watch on your videos since December, I’ve just such a fear of flying & u really do help me before getting on a plane!
“It stinks. The person in the room next to me is playing Judge Judy at 50 decibels. I’m itchin!”
"This, is @# horrible!"
What did it stink of? BO, mould, sh*t, air con chemicals, other.
@@anotherblonde yes
Enough said indeed 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣❤️🤣😝🤣
Boston is Such A Great City. It has so much history, culture, and the people are amazing!!!
It's definitely a bit sad when the Overlook Hotel in The Shining looks like a better option.
Yeah, he used the music from Psycho but I was thinking The Shining.
I revisit this video every couple of weeks, love it (along with your round the world one) :)
the JFK Inn - oh god. I always go by that on the way to Manhattan and wonder what hell that must be. Now I know.
Excellent channel my friend ! You should be on TV, doing a Michael Palin type travel programme.
Hi Noel, I've just recently found your channel. I love the travel vlog style videos, personally not into the full length flights but obviously different people enjoy different things. Thank you for letting me find my inner plane geek.
*clicks on video*
Eh, I’ll watch a few minutes of it.
*50 minutes later*
Where did all the time go?
Southwest can't be beat. For domestic flights in the US.. It's really amazing what they do for the price. I've flown from Chicago to Denver for 50 bucks. Chicago to Tampa Florida for 100... During vacation season. No extra charges, very flexible and the nicest crew you'll ever meet.
Tired and sketched out brit abroad in america
“I’m gonna head back to the hotel this is getting weirder by the second”
jeez. All my life driving past that place I thought it was abandoned.
Haha certainly looks that way! Still at least the bed bugs like it there 😂
exactly! i drive by it everyday and always thought it was a homeless shelter 😂
@noelphilips hey Noel what's the song at 46:25? I'm tried googling the lyrics and using my phone's AI to find it and nothing correct comes up
So just discovered you videos and absolutely loved them. We had been in DC the same day you had been and you may have passed us at the National Mall!
The Boeing 380 and JFK Inn took the cake!!! Awesome work!!
Yall need to read the reviews on the JFK Inn. I wouldn't touch that place with a 12ft pole. You sir are a brave man for staying there.
Motel 6: "We're the worst place you can stay that's still in a building."
Travelodge: "Hold my beer . . ."
J.F.K. Inn: "NOT so fast, Travelodge . . ."
35:34 Anyone else reminded of Harry Potter?
Noel, I want to thank you so much for these fascinating and extremely entertaining flight videos. I really admire your courage and ability and appreciate so much that you have the privilege of being able to fly and travel to so many places and film for enjoyment so many incredible trips. It has really made me wish I could even begin to travel again after 2020 being such a bad year. Had to totally cancel three of my own trips and can only dream of getting confidence and freedom back post covid & post brexit sometime soon. You are a truly amazing guy. I've throughly enjoyed every one. I really wish I had a stomach like yours, and could sleep as well as you have even in my own bed sometimes let alone pilot as you have done (a PPL holder I am mysrlf also for many years). Your Sky diving experience was so brave and it made me feel it like it is. Thank you, thank you.
Dude, I would've never gotten out of the cab at the JFK Inn. I hope you didn't pick up any bed bugs there... or crabs from the toilet.
Hi from Perth Australia Noel. Thanks for all the sacrifices that you make to put these videos together! Been staying away from flight videos since COVID started so I don’t miss my family too much but hopefully we’ll be back to flying soon out of Aus. Really love your content, your energy and your honesty. Your keep me company while I do the dishes at night and tidy the house before bed. time to check out some of your full flight videos. Fav one so far was the one into Lukla.
7:13 Even pilot's fail!😂😂😂 "Boeing A380" Lmao
thank you for the time stamp. I didn't feel like scrolling through the whole vid
@@hadeealhassanawi6413 Your welcome my man.
That was definitely a flight attendant. 😂😂😂
How are they allowed to have a hotel that vile and creepy and keep it opened? I was so disgusted. I mean it wasn't even clean. I wouldn't have stayed there. Noel you're braver then me. Loving the content though having just found your channel. I love that we can live vicariously through you. Thank you so much for all you do.
Looks like some of the dives I stayed in when I was ski racing every week. We stayed in some pretty bad motels .
It's New York, bribe the right people and you can do anything.
If there’s demand for cheap, the it will stay open.
Surprised a health inspector hasn't hammered them.
Cheers to you mate! the explanation as to why you make these videos is spot on and the music and editing make them really watchable. Anyway, can't stop and chat, I'm off to book my stay at the JFK Hotel!
I love these trips. You stop at a mcdonalds, get that nice food on a trip/roadtrip, stay at hotels, relax, its amazing.
When da pilot doesn’t know what he’s flying!😖
Love the "Ferris Bueller" reference!!
Me too! Classic!
I wonder what Gordon Ramsay would say about that hotel💀😂
“What the fuck are you doing you stupid donkey”
*Licks carpet* IT'S FUCKING RAW
@@TheHorrorDevotee Where's the Lamb Sauce?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?
I would have checked out immediately
This is frickin dreadful
Love these! Thanks Noel! Loved it where you talked about the reasons for doing these - particularly one reason was that you thought it would be nice/beneficial for anybody who had never experienced flying (for whatever reason) who could see the beautiful cities or scenery from the air, travelling around/ different countries etc and not just all the usual reasons for these kind of vlogs. I would have loved for my late Gran to have been able to have sat back in her armchair and watched these. Keep up the good work! 💜
Boeing a380? I swear a pilot said the same on another flight video I watched
doubt it would be a pilot, likely a flight att.
I'm 43 years old and alway said I would never fly, however after watching your videos I might actually try to fly some day soon!
Do a short one first. I despise flying, so effing boring. Like being on a crap bus in the sky.
I said I would never fly, until I looked at how the thing worked. And realised what all the strange stuff was about. Now I love it for the exploring and the Views!
Boeing A380 LOL
Great travel vlog. Looking forward to the full flight sets.
Thank you for speaking about 'why'. Even late night chat was very much understandable, top marks for the effort. You have mastered the art of functioning on 0 hours sleep!
I like how he finds 6 hours short when I find the almost 3 hours from LGA-FLL long
anything into Lagarbage is long
I live 15 minutes from JFK and that is the LAST one I would even walk into.
Channels like this are very quickly becoming my favourite type of vids on RUclips.. I love travelling and would love to do stuff like this.. So keep doing your thing, ignore anyone who gives you a hard time for doing this and I look forward to more Full Flight vids :)
Thanks so much Eunos! Glad you enjoy the videos. Haters used to get to me (and still do sometimes), but mostly I just laugh it off and remember all the good guys like yourself :) . Thanks for watching!
His are the only that offer a truly “full flight” and honesty always wins out.
Always love seeing notifications from you, my friend! Loved every second of this :) Keep it up!
Awesome thanks so much! Enjoy the vid :)
I think your model is great Noel. Cram it in and spend time with family. Can't fault you. I bet quite a bit of time is spent scheduling too. Kudos and keep the blue sky up as Kelsey would say.
I'm from NY and live close to JFK. You stayed in the sketchiest hotel/motel around! Hope you didn't catch bed bugs. Try Marriott or Holiday Inn next time right off the Van Wyck next to one of the main entrances to the airport.
Yes, either stay at Hilton Garden Inn, Marriott or holiday inn. I do not stay in lower call hotels or roach motels.
Truly a Rite of Passage, your first Southwest bag of Peanuts!
That's what I always hated about travel in the USA: airports that have seen better days, airport hotels that make you feel like in a horror movie (I've stayed at Motel 6 on Century Blvd. LAX), depressing cab rides to and from the airport etc.
Noel! I watch you fairly regularly and somehow this sort of old video of yours appeared and i really like this style, hopefully you can incorporate this style in your recent videos!!
I've watched this twice now Noel and, weird as it sounds, I've been left wondering on both occasions, just what did the hotel room smell of? I know you said it was disgusting (Several times over) but can you describe it better? I certainly won't be finding out for myself.
Urm without sounding rude maybe you need new friends or to get out more? You are clearly loosing sleep over what he was smelling in the room, I’m guessing it was unpleasant?
Is that not enough? 😀 sorry I’m winding you up! You prob woke up at 3am and typed this, anyway lets agree that it was smelly and you probably wouldn’t want to stay there
@@angiehazelaar You were being rude to him. Never tell someone they need new friends or to get out more! That's their decision.
@@pauljordan4452 ok, great reply, that put me in my place
@@angiehazelaar you are a girl so ...
If it’s anything like the seedy motels I’ve been in, they usually reek of cigarettes and cat piss. My entire luggage smelled of it after I stayed in one.
I really appreciate the videos you do, as a man with multiple health problems I can't fly often so watching your videos really does make me feel like I'm seeing other countries through you.. So thanks mate 👍 I appreciate it.
As an American, I can tell you, we are SUPER PASSIONATE about our BBQ. So having the National Cookoff at our nation's Capitol is not odd at all. I'm just jealous you were there and I was not. 😁
Lisa Wright idrc about bbq
Barbecue is serious business, man.
I noticed '44' on your SuperDry hoodie in Chicago and couldn't help but note that President Obama was the 44th President and I think spent his early career in Chicago.
I love how much he took the piss out of Washington DC xD
Omg 😆 I can perfectly hear that tv next door. Holy shit! Poor baby!! I’m so sorry. You really don’t have to show us the worst hotels. We love you too much to put you thru that. We enjoy seeing the nice places!! Thank you for all of the work and effort you put into these videos. I love them!!
As a native of the Washington, D.C. metro area, it was really cool to see my hometown from an outside perspective. Thanks for visiting!
Edit: I love the voice they use for local time at DCA. Very nostalgic for me having heard it so many times in my life.
Another Washingtonian here: I wish you’d gotten in touch ahead of time. There is so much more to see in our beautiful city than the edges of the Mall, and easily reached on the Metro. Give us a heads up next time!
As a Chicagoan and a John Hughes fan, the use of the song "Beat City" from Ferris Bueller's Day off during the Chicago sequence was.... PERFECT.
Ok, so as someone who lived on long island and having passed that hotel dozens of times...I always said to myself, how do they stay in business? Who in their right mind would want to stay there? Not to mention it's a really crappy neighborhood. I nearly keeled over laughing when I saw you pull in to it. Thanks for showing everyone it's exactly as bad as I thought it was. 😂😂😂
Same lol, I would pass it every time I go to JFK
Me too. Just passed it this morning.
Thank you Noel,
I’ve really been enjoying your videos. Out of all the aviation channels out there, you provide the most interesting stuff!
Many thanks!
BAHAHAHA, "Boeing A380". Looks like someone did not have his morning coffee!
These videos are amazing, will never forget my 1st flight between Manchester and Palma aboard a Britannia Airways 767, the flight which got me into aviation, I go spotting at Manchester(I'm from Leeds, but I don't know if you've flown from Leeds Bradford, but its not very good) I would love to do what you do, and I think what you do as well, and I don't know if you've realised this, your also helping people who are afraid of flying, by showing them how safe it is. I really hope you continue to do this, look forward to new content, take care and stay safe.
Ian
Me: "I wonder where these shitty hotels are?"
Noel: Flies to where I am
Me: "Oh..."
Also... what? You booked with Cape Air to St Louis? That's so weird because they only operate their own flights around the east coast and south to the Caribbean. They're based out here on Cape Cod.
Noel's glee at arriving home is clear to see!
“St. Louis”...not “St. Louie”....hahaha!!! But I do love you Mate!!!
John Randle what’s the difference?
AK Media one is right and one is not...
Lol. Boeing a380. Must be some sort of collaboration. 😄
35:32 that's where the freak sleeps. The one they found on their doorstep 11 years ago. Something to do with the owner's sister and *their* lot.
Ok Ok x the moment when you have the chance and the chance chance you have been working hard on this one but it seems that they have have been far too far from your current current one one year and the out Suns are you still interested interested to know what they think of them would you like for
You should have your own TV show maybe for the BBC, ITV or Sky or Virgin. I would watch.
Brilliant video, loved every minute😄 Big like 👍🏼
sooo minor correction on the southwest part, their actual home is dallas love field but their hubs are midway, dallas (love field) baltimore, orlando, atl, and a few more
Rule #1 - stay AWAY from Days Inns; all of them.
Day’s inn is a nightmare! I once stayed in one, no hot water, WiFi was broken, cigarettes were left sitting on the breakfast counter, simply a nightmare
@@thatpersonsmusic what really cigeretes that's a disgrace
@@avationgeek.1217 What are you talking about... Free cigarettes! That's a deal considering how much those things cost these days. 🤣😂😁
It's nice video with many entertaining parts but my favorite is, "you can't spell sausage without U.S.A...oh dear." lol!
Brilliant as always! Catch the TWA Hotel next time at JFK. It opens the beginning of 2019 and is bringing back the golden age of 50’s and 60’s flying.
Glad to see you're taking up bus spotting, With the beautiful Abelio 8898, an Alexander Dennis Enviro 200MMC 😂
Cool video. Low cost in the US is far better than low cost in Europe, JetBlue is by far one of my favourite airlines.
It's strange isn't it, normally US airlines are nowhere near as nice as the rest of the worlds. But low cost in the US is something else - better than almost anyone (except maybe Norwegian).
yeah I agree that normal US carriers such as Delta, American and United are pretty poor compared to other airlines in the world. I'd rather go low cost with jetBlue than fly with Delta on short haul route in the states, and it would also be cheaper.
Great video. I really like the 'trip report' style ones that cover the whole trip. Keep them coming!
Boeing A380 guys........new type of plane I guess😂😂
I subscribed to your channel about six months ago. I’m now a huge fan. I was catching up on your older videos this morning and happily found this one. Tears of are running down my face from laughter watching your JFK Inn segment. I hope you paid a visit to an infectious diseases physician immediately after you finished the video.
7:13 Boeing A380! It’s like going to Burger King and asking for a BigMac
Greetings from Florida USA! GREAT video!
The this is america remix made this video just that bit better than it already was
Never stay at JFK Inn got it. I love your puppet hands! watch those things go! I like to imagine when you are sitting there talking to the camera that there is someone else controlling 2 very expressive arms and hands that do their own thing as you sit there talking, LOL.
Thanks for going through all that to bring us a great video. Enjoyed it many months later.
😍😍 My baby the e190 such a nice little plane to work on but then again the Embraer fleet is amazing
Every time I travel overseas (pretty often for work), the first thing I do when I get back to Chicago is eat pizza. It's incredibly comforting after traveling, especially on the long trips.
Love your videos Noel, especially ones like this and your other challenges and different videos combining flight reviews but those combined with something a bit different
A great video and thanks for explaining why you do these videos. It is lovely that you are English as I am too. Therefore I get valuable tips from you. I also love seeing the other nationalities. I am keen on travel and seeing places in the world. I travel with my 10 year old daughter and my 12 year old disabled son who is in a wheelchair. Due to pushing his wheelchair it is a challenge to carry all our luggage. Many people in a wheelchair are not able to travel.
I must say I truly appreciate your videos man!!
