Flying to the Northernmost Town in the USA: Barrow, Alaska

- Опубликовано: 8 фев 2025
- Hey guys! Welcome to Part 1 of my 2 part series on my trip to Barrow, Alaska...the northernmost town in the United States! Leading up to this trip, I thought to myself that this place is too special to just do another set of full flight videos, so I decided to record an actual vlog along with the normal footage and experiment & improvise a bit. Kind of was pretty fun going off the beaten path a bit :D Let me know what you guys think! Utqiagvik or Barrow, Alaska is as far as you can go north in this vast country we call home. It is a place I never ever thought I'd get the chance to visit, but I did and (spoiler alert), it was one of the best trips of my life and an absolutely incredible experience! The flights to get there is just the beginning of this epic trip to the edge of the world. Hope you guys enjoy!
Video Info:
Filmed: June 2021

I must say that this is one of best videos I have ever watched. The way you edited this video shows how much pride you have in your job. Likewise, you are such a supportive person. Justin is so lucky to have you as a friend. I am extremely proud of you, and I would certainly like to be your friend. You seriously need several awards for how awesome you are.
This was just a masterpiece. I truly admire you constantly filming your excitement it made the vid so much better🙏🏼🙌🏼
I really love your Alaska trips , I love how they highlight how necessary air service is in these localities
the fact that I randomly searched Flight to barrow, and an actual video was made about this. super cool!!!
A RUclips star is born! After the 2 Barrow videos, I looked for more content with you in it and couldn't find it (Let me know if I missed something). You really need to start vlogging. These videos are so good, especially part 2, so... make more, even if it's just you hanging out in Pittsburgh! Thanks.
What a hike :D that is a beautiful approach in Barrow, would love to go up there myself one day.
I'm from the UK and I love the USA . I've been to NYC for Christmas 2017and adored it! I've created a mind bucket list of places in the USA that I want to visit and Alaska is one of them, I'm even tempted to visit barrow one day
Wow, just wow Chris, this is absolutely amazing, the town, the video, the airports, yourself, everything! In fact, the service on EWR-ANC was the only thing in this video that wasn’t amazing! I can’t wait for part two!😸😸
Hey Life’s Ups and Downs! I was going to ask you about this in one of escandelev’s videos but then I saw your comment.
@@BluegrassElevators lol
Wow Chris! This video is awesome! One of the best! I can see your excitement to be there. The final scene of the Alaska 737 takeoff gave me chills, I don't know why! Amazing! Excellent job!!! Mel
I just watched the whole video without checking the time 😂
It's rare for that to happen! One of your best videos!
Fly to Omaha sometime please
Nice video! Absolutely awesome scenery and a cool different trip report than usual. Am gonna hit that like button.
Wow this was like watching a movie and your smile is contagious sir, I could tell that you really are excited for this destination! Hope you and your friend enjoy ! Be safe!
Also please continue to use your voice in your videos dude!
Hi Chris, thanks for sharing your video about flying to Alaska!
You haven't seen Alaska until you have seen it in the winter. I had the absolutely surreal experience of being all over Alaska in the winter, including Barrow with a stop in Deadhorse. It was -6F with an effective temperature of -20 in Barrow in March. More magical in the winter. Just surreal. Fairbanks is a must see in the winter, also. Alaska is one of my favorite places on the planet and I have been around the world at least twice.
I love the vlog style of this! The full flights are amazing as well!
absolutely loving the great job you did with the editing on this video. you really ought to talk on camera more often, because your excitement and enthusiasm is infectious!
Very cool video! It's really neat to see you flying to a destination like Barrow. Really shocking United offers no meal service on a 7 hour flight and has such cramped seating. Nice to know so I will avoid flying with them. Looking forward to Part 2!
good to finally see you, love the vids, keep em coming.
This was such an awesome video! Thank you for filming this and keep up the good work!
Still can't believe that this video alone made me impulse buy a ticket to Anchorage and I don't regret the trip.
Wow. This is an interesting video for aviation! I for some reason thought you were in Maine. Can’t wait for part 2!
Great video Chris! The place must be awesome, but thanks - too cold for my old carcass! hahaha Thanks for sharing!
look forward to your next video, Barrow, AK is a very remote city, wish some days can visit there to watch the northern light.
excellent video..I'm sure you made many instant friends up in Barrow due to your very nice open-minded video !! As for the polar bears...very true..back in the 1960s, they literally RAN the town at night !! The locals went everywhere with their rifles..I felt sorry for the bears...we wee in THEIR territory...awwww !!! Bless you again !!!You "Polar Plunge" was so cool and light-hearted..even the locals loved it !!!
Wow! It looked like the aircraft was going to land on the frozen, icy tundra!
This is on my bucket list. I’ve been to the southernmost point in the US (Key west). Time to go to the northernmost point in the US
Going to Barrow has been on my bucket list for a while. I’m going to Alaska in late July, but only as far as Fairbanks. (will be my second time there) I’m also doing a flight review on that trip. I look forward to your second part of the video.
I actually like the vlog style of your videos
I'm taking the milk run and going to Barrow next month, so excited!
What spectacular views!!! Wow Barrow is AT the airport!!!
Great vid, would love to visit Barrow one day
Stellar! Part 2 tomorrow? Cool, thanks!
YES YOU FINALLY USED YOUR VOICE
I do agree
Having lived in Anchorage for almost 20 years, I sent a lot of tourists to Barrow through the travel agency I worked for but not once did I make it up there. Katmai and the Pribilof Islands are other places I sent tourists to but never made it myself. It is too bad United still won't serve meals on their long haul flights...! You might want to check with RUclips on why they interrupt your conversations with their voluminous volume of ads, which I hope, they are paying you well!
Is it weird that you remind me of Illeana Douglas? Love the videos man!
Can’t wait to see Pt. 2! What the heck, no meal service at all for a 7 hour flight……typical United .
Was trying to figure out how you were able to film both sides of the aircraft during landing but then I remembered the row across from you was empty so it was a simple matter of you sitting on the left side while your window camera mount did the job for the right side--must've been a mild shock to feel that cold air upon exiting! Wondering where beautiful downtown Barrow is? Obviously no Vegas-style glitz and lights! What choices did you have for lodging? This visit is something that can be crossed off your bucket list!
Great job....Really enjoyed this video.
Bro you where in Anchorage at breakfast time and didn't go to Snow City Cafe?!?! You HAVE to check it out next time. Best breakfast in the state.
Great Video, keep up the great work. Frank, Schuylkill County, Pa.
I love the fact that you talk on camera now .
The challenge in Barrow comes in the dead of winter; what's the possibility for you and Justin?
Great video, really interesting!
Just found you on RUclips, and I gotta say you are very underrated sir. I do have one suggestion though, you could add a mic attached to your camera because I had some trouble hearing you.
OMG i think you were LITERALLY there a couple days I went last year! What hotel did you stay at?? We were at the one by the airport!
Nice video! I wish I could look into the northern most town in the US. I’m back from my trip I mentioned before and they’ve also been around 90 degrees some of the time and so is my hometown in the Chicago area.
it doesn't really get 90 degrees in barrow
@@jamieyoungquist1373 you’re right, it doesn’t. That’s why it’s unlike the south.
Love the vlog style
Alaska is also one of my favorite states. Go for the landscape and the people, though. The food (apart from salmon) is pretty terrible (pizza and burgers) but you can get good coffee anywhere (unexpected bonus). Not sure I see the appeal of Barrow, though, apart from it being a novelty destination (which is fine). Many Alaskans let junk accumulate in their front yards, but Barrow seems to have taken it to the next level: the whole town is a dump. Great video.
You should check out Air Greenland. It is a very unique airline.
I could probably manage 24 hours of light during the summer, but I would have to rig up the windows to black out the constant day. But the opposite, 24 hours of night? It would feel like death, I think.
Love it !!!
What's funny is I've been obsessed with going to Barrow as well.. btw anyone ever tell you you kinda look like Tim Lincecum?
What a great video I love the Casey Neistat vibe in it and the song choices, I’m soo exited to see part 2. And we’re you born a yinzer or did you just move to the burgh
Yup from the Burgh 💛🖤

How the hell did u get footage from outside the plane showing the plane?

Love Alaska Airlines!
what day did you fly into barrow ?
Alaska Airlines serves you sandwiches and cheese plates in first class to Alaska Delta don't know really
nice video you should fly to anchorage or go to Miami for a next trip report
So cute
You said you fly to Barrow, Alaska?
Wow, you might actually be more annoying than Michael Sharp, it’s in the freaking title! All you have to do is read the title, description and watch the video! It’s not hard!

Nice!
Try going to exotic Alliance Nebraska next!!!
By exotic do you mean the middle of scenic nowhere?
And you asked that already, many times, so shut up and be patient.
@@liflyer0413 yup but there's Carthenge there in Alliance Nebraska
Really I not know that Alaska Airlines Boeing 737-800 can way to Barrow, AK.
I saw you at the beach

My dad would tease me about sending me to Barrow, AK, because I would trash-talk Ohio State Buckeyes! Tbh, I’m mature and capable of flying alone, so that’s why he jokes about sending me there.
The boss baby the season 3 the crying the shh!
Nice video handsome
What's Justin's RUclips channel???
None of your business
The only thing you don’t call us native Alaskans IRL, is a American were not Americans were just Iñupiaq’s
Alaska Airlines is the best!
Well done. Alaska is beautiful altough a bit poor.....No ?
Not sure about the rest of Alaska but Barrow has a median household income of $80k per year vs the lower 48s of $50k per year
I live there lol
Seems to be the plane you were on from EWR to ANC needs a new paint job
Please shut up.
@@liflyer0413 nope
@@michaelsharp3615 YES! Sincerely, everyone.
I know it may make you uncomfortable, but I prefer you talking to the camera way more than the subtitles to be honest. Feels more engaging and I really feel like there’s that person to person connection, as opposed to solely a flight review. ( Really like the vlog feel as well)Just a suggestion though, love the videos.
I wish Skylite Productions was with you while you were in Alaska which he was there the same time you were
I wish you’d shut your mouth
@@liflyer0413 you should fly to Alaska sometime
@@michaelsharp3615 I will one day

Great love all these vids. Watched all your videos.Support from Trinidad.
Follow Alaska 737 on Instagram if I were you he is an Alaska Airlines pilot based in Anchorage I wish Chris had this pilot when he was up in Alaska
I know Eric Sturnolo aka EMS 318 does this type of vlogging just like Paul Lucas, Noel Phillips, Jeb Brooks and Sam Chui
