- With only four days off, my family and I used the open search function in our employee reservation system to find a flight with open seats. Come along for a fun filled 46 hours in.....well, you'll just have to watch.

Those kids have no idea how blessed they are!
One day we gonna have the opportunity we been waiting for 💯
It's great that the kids can literally sit in a room and vote which of those exotic, exciting places they want to go to. Good for them!
But one day they will realize and be thankful for everything their dad made possible for them
Agree. Once they are old enough to compare their lives to others is when they will see how lucky they are. @@xxMyGodIsaDJxx
They may not now but they will. I grew up in an airline family and while I didn’t appreciate the places my parents took us too at the time (old museums, landmarks, battlegrounds) as I got older it was amazing to think back on all the things that I saw in real life that I eventually would read and study growing up. And as the world has changed to be able to say you say this before xxx …
*Drops everything I'm doing to watch another one of your videos!! ✈️✈️✈️
Exactly! I just pushed away my things to do at this moment, and exclaimed, “I’m going to a Rome with my favourite family on RUclips! ❤️💫 Thank you, Captain! 🫡 xx
You’re an amazing traveler and an even more amazing family man. Thanks for sharing your stories, Captain.
That line about collecting a story versus collecting possessions is so true. The greatest memories in life are about people and places, not stuff.
P.S.- I would have picked Naples😂.
He flies and his family flies absolutely free. That trip to Rome for the 4 of them. Would cost an arm and a leg. That's gotta be a super nice perk. He earned it though.
They way you got so emotional when you reunited with Olga just goes to show the amazing friendship you guys have.
Just did something similar myself last weekend, spontaneously non-revving to San Diego for a day trip. Then this weekend, going to DC with my parents. Non-rev travel is a whole different level of travel and im so grateful for it!
Why can’t social media always be this way? Cool parents; exceptional people!
I worked for KLM in the late 70's and loved the fact that if you were appropriately dressed and space available, you were upgraded to 1st. I have watched your vlogs for a while now and it was nice to see you & your family enjoy the fruits of your labor.
It’s really great to be able to travel like this as a family.✈️
First class, captain ... on every level.... thank you so much for sharing
You are a great dad. Just found this channel. I'm hooked.
Last easter we went to Geneva. My son in law is a pilot on the 787. We drove to YUL. He looked at the loads and bingo on our way to Geneva in Business class. Easter Monday we returned again in Business. So nice to have a bed and sleep for most of the trip. Spoiled us rotten.
This is the coolest video I've ever seen. Thank you Paul for inspiring me to start my pilot Journey. I have my first lesson next week. The editing and work you do on these videos doesn't go unnoticed. Thank you for producing such fun beautiful content and what an awesome memory and experience with your family. Thanks so much for allowing us to see into your life.
I can speak from experience that your children will remember these experiences more than the materialistic things in their life.
My now adult kids bring up our old trips all the time. Now they are doing this with their kids.
I grew up with parents in the hotel business so similar situation to your kids. They took us all over the world when they traveled for business. It gave me a view of the world very different from that of my peers. I still tell my parents about the impact it had on me and thank them for not leaving me (and my siblings) behind. These experiences were better than any toy I was ever given. Just found your site and look forward to following your travels!
I love your son’s reaction as he gets into his seat!! 🥹
That is one amazing trip and those kids will remember it forever. Good work Dad and Captain!
Been in over 350+ Flights as standby pax, Both on UA and DAL! The best time ever working for the airlines! 3 years and Counting as Ramp Crew! cannot wait to see where the Airlines Take me next!
Scooteroma here! So thrilled you and your family could ride with Alessio & the Squad. Til next time... take care!
I used to get flight bennies working for a regional airline. My greatest adventure was when I got bumped in Pocatello, Idaho where I spent the whole day in and around the airport.
I grew up with my dad being part of AA so I definitely know this feeling. Granted, we weren’t necessarily the most financial sound so never did Europe but got to explore a lot of the Spanish America and Caribbean.
Didn’t grow up going to Disney in the summer but got to see countries like Chile and Argentina instead
AA as in American Airlines
I’m non-reving to Geneva for less than 36 hrs for my birthday. Our industry allows us the most amazing adventures.
Your son's excitement over the technology and pillows in the seat was just awesome. Raising some good kids there Paul.
Lovely family! I’m glad I found your channel! Bravo!
Hey Paul. Just want to say thanks for inspiring me to become a professional pilot. I’ve started my flight training now at 17. Watching from South Africa 🇿🇦
BRAND NEW SUBSCRIBER! What an awesome channel.
Non-Rev has got to be the best perk of working for an airline (here in the UK, we don't really have it the same, as the US Carriers)
After 18 years as a flight attendant, I would often arrive at the airport with no destination in mind and just go. Friends barely left the city on days off, I flew all over Europe for practically free!
Keep up the great work, and best wishes from here in Liverpool, England.
What a great life you all are providing to your kids!!! Well done!
This is so great! You are creating amazing memories that you and your family will have forever. Just awesome and totally inspiring.
Your son is the absolute cutest! Love watching him in awe of his first Polaris experience. They are so blessed to have this kind of opportunity to travel!
I love your comment about enjoying travel and experiences rather than things.
Paul, I love your videos!! This one takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember flights where my parents would count the number of people boarding a flight so they would know if they would make it!!! Didn't happen all the time, but a lot! We lived one mile due west of SFO and as we would drive by the airport, my mom would say, "there goes a plane and I'm not on it!!"
Your daughter is like a clone of you. Good looking family. Not much else you can ask for in this life!
I'm a retired flight dispatcher and used to non-rev quite a bit. It is a wonderful thing to be able to do. Unfortunately, my first day of retirement was April 1 of 2020 and my airline flew its last flight on April 7th. It went out of business due to COVID19. It was a regional airline and the major airlines we flew for took our airplanes away because they were reducing their flying system-wide. But at least I did it for a good long time and most people in this world never get to do it ... ever.
I’m sorry
Bummer.
Acey?
This was beautiful, Paul! Love to you and your family! I'll always cherish the trips abroad to visit my extended family in Europe as a young child...and the rides on a 747 and L-1011 in the 80s turned me into a total Av Geek at an early age!
Here's a funny one! Years ago when I worked for COEX and I'd just earned my wings for 90Days Probation I rode up to our Hub at CLE! Went to Rock Hall Tower 🗼 City 🏙️ the Flats! Did a Day Turn and was back home 😔🏡 that night 🌉!
Love the video! My dad was ramp service out of ORD. He has since passed away, but growing up I had plenty of memories in hotel rooms huddled around a laptop figuring out if we'll get home. Awesome to see that you're making the same memories with you kids!
I would be as excited as Anders to sit in first class with all those amenities on a long flight. Great memories for the family!
Business Class.
You are so right about the memories vs stuff. In 2009 my parents took my family & my brother’s family to London & Scotland for 10 days. Our children, who are adults now still talk about that trip! My Mom said ‘our grandchildren are going to inherit memories’! The cousins are very close and my Mom couldn’t have said it any better ! Your kids will feel the same 💜
I have many fond memories of flying space available as a family. My dad also took each of us individually on flights he was working a few times. We were a family of 6 so it was a nail biter at times! ✈️
first time watching you channel and i love it. b6 flight attendant here and would love to have you and your family on board take care keep making more of these.
Bravo for enlightening your kids with invaluable experiences!! Amazing trip!!🎉✈
Paul, i AM in Portugal and never been on Rome. You are so lucky. Best regards from Aveiro.
I wish I could fly non rev even if it is stressful. I'm glad your family had a great vacation.
Just did my first solo XC earlier this evening, thanks for the inspiration and thanks for the wholesome content. Always a joy to be able to appreciate the effort you put in to these. Keep it up!
Congrats! I did mine last year. My first solo didn't bother me at all, even despite mechanical problems on my first solo lap. It was just 'another day at the office'. I did my XC without a problem to a town in the middle of nowhere with no real reference points on the ground, no problem. BUT, for some reason I was very nervous about the long XC.
KSPG probably wasn't the best choice for this, with 4* glide slopes that drop you in over the tops of buildings on one runway, across the non-descript water on the other 3. Runways half the distance of what I'm used to, oh...and the PAPIs AND ILS were inop that day. Lucky me. Gusty & variable winds. Did I mention gusty with a crosswind? I came in too high on the first attempt, went around and had a reasonable landing for the second. After I landed and was still on the runway, tower sequenced the next aircraft to the other, longer runway due to the winds. Thanks tower! The flight home was uneventful.
I’m 56 years old….I remember my parents attending my school events and ALL the things we did together as a family. The “things” they purchased me; not so much!! This is AMAZING ❤
Thank you so much for this amazing content! I’m from the Midwest as well (Michigan) and I just met a pilot online. I’m a huge fan of the family values that you have and how you are able to do quality time with the family. It’s my love language, and so I appreciate you showing how a pilot can do quality time with his family. I’m also a HUGE fan of your wife’s silver plane charm necklace! 😍 was that a gift by any chance?
My best childhood memories is traveling with my family and grandparents. Part of what shaped me
Thank you for giving us a glimpse into your trip. The excitement of your son was so precious, and I love what a good sport your daughter is. And yay for Fanta that isn’t glowing neon orange! 😅
I love you channel - you videos played a huge role in me overcoming my flight anxiety that came out of nowhere a few years ago. I have since taken nine of my kids to Europe for a month this summer, and I’m going back with four of them in early December for 10 days to tour Christmas markets in Germany - and flying United! You have no idea how much of a part your videos had in that! Thank you! 🙏
That was awesome. I’m in the process of trying to determine what flight academy program to apply too - your videos have been an inspiration over the years. 👍🏽
This may have been your best video yet, Paul. Love the family adventure! The family that travels together...
This video is precisely why i became a pilot. Just a few months away from meeting ATP requirements. Looking forward to it!!
I love your vides and adventures! Keep up the awesome content! I miss my days working at Mesaba and being able to non-rev fun places. Now I work for the MAC and get to watch everyone on their way to/from having fun adventures. Safe travels!
Another great video Paul. You’re family and dynamic + outlook on life are an inspiration to us all. Keep it up!
What a wonderful adventure!😊
Thank you for all you do!!
That was great!
Awesome trip!!
You are so lucky. Like I want to wake up and decide to go to Rome in Polaris class. Like BRO!
Always great videos. Thanks for making them
Great idea!
Good stuff, thanks for sharing
Funny you mentioned drinking Fanta for breakfast because I saw that when you were at Ginger and I thought, wow what a couple of cool parents letting their son have soda with breakfast.
Captain Paul you are creating some amazing memories for your kids that they will be sharing with your future grandkids. What a fabulous family, a true blessing. I hope to see you on one of my flights out of Newark soon!👌👏👏👏👏
Great video, thanks for sharing with all of us!❤
Way fun! Thanks for sharing your adventrues with us.

Your best video yet. I got emotional hearing your closing comments regarding your children. I share that sentiment and hope my two little boys enjoy similar experiences that theyll carry with them all their lives.
