Former flight attendant here, Noel. I just wanted to say that despite your apparent exhaustion from nonstop traveling, I always appreciate you making the conscious effort to always give the crews and agents a warm greeting. If everyone who flew were half as gracious as you are, the industry’s quality of life would increase exponentially. Thanks for the great videos!
Thank you!
My daughter is an FA and I give other FA's the most friendly greetings I can.
You do realise that this is being recorded for RUclips. What do you expect him to act like?
@@X22GJP Noel seems genuine to me. There are still some nice folks in this world.
@@X22GJP I've never recorded myself walking off a plane, but I always acknowledge the flight crew with at the very least a polite nod, if not actually saying "thanks"
Can we appreciate that Noel sat on an 11+ hour flight to Singapore without getting out of his window seat just so he doesn’t have to bother the people next to him?
You shall appreciate it even more when he develops pulmonary embolism!
@@thanksanyway.3330 God people come up with some of the dumbest stuff on the internet.
@@thanksanyway.3330 happens when you sit for multiple days but not on an 11 hour flight
I've had to do that from Singapore to London. The man next to me slept the whole flight and I was scared of waking him up 😂
Why? I've sat on plenty of 11+ hour flights without getting up for anything - hardly something to increase the Gamerscore.
Love that Noel deliberately mispronounces famous landmarks and no one notices. Barcelona church, the apocalypse and the Sydney theatre thing 😂 great video again 👍🏻
It's called intelligent audacity.
I went back three times to check if I misheard, but no, the famous, ancient Apocalypse
I was actually thinking the same.... AKROPOLIS, LA SAGRADA FAMILIA, SYDNEY OPERA HOUSE. I think its travellers basic knowledge about famous world known landmarks. Also comparing Sydney with Newcastle is somehow ironic.
Ok I wasn’t sure if he was serious or not
Haha. I thought it was just me and my imagination, but yep he did say apocalypse.
What a power move watching a plane crash analysis video while on a plane.
Question is does watching them make you less or more confident about flying?
@@liftoffandtravel I saw a comment on a Mentour Pilot video I like. They were something like "they learned from the crash to make flying safer".
@@Nurichiri so true! Dash cam videos have made me more wary of others driving their car. Avoided an accident yesterday because you see others make bad mistakes
Should help those nearby with their lack of entertainment availability.
@liftoffandtravel personally they always make me more paranoid because then I start thinking of all the technical/logistical ways the plane could crash lol
Really lovely to a) see people who are delighted to randomly bump into you at airports b) see your reciprocated delight at them. Makes the world seem smaller and warmer. Pretty magic.
I really hope Noel donates liberally to carbon offset organizations
@@accesscrimea i'm sure he does, what are you doing
He's making the world seem warmer because of his contribution to global warming....
Never happened yet but would love one day someone to wave at me 😍 but not then say "you're holding up the line taking videos" 😂
@@accesscrimea who cares snowflake. Those flights would have happened even if he wasn't on them
9:11 Dude saw the apocalypse and still made it home safe, what a legend
So I did hear it right then 😂
It's not a cultural channel after all, is it?😂
hahaha
Haha! I thought the same thing too! Although Acropolis is similar to Apocalypse :)
Ric Flair : Apocalypse ?!......but he didnt see The Nature Boy , wooooo ! ;)@@RS-tz2zn
I love how in this video Noel sometimes pronounces Barcelona as "Barcelonar" and when he was in Athens, Greece he calls the Acropolis "the Apocalypse" 😆
Huh how are you supposed to pronounce Barcelona?
Yeah, languages and pronunciation are not his forte 😂
don’t forget melborrrrrn
hahahaha@@effkay3691
because he's taking the Mikey @@effkay3691
Noel is such a likeable guy. No matter how tired and jetlagged, he always greets people with a friendly attitude.
9:16 - The apocalypse! LOL! Thinking that was the pathenon, not the acropolis, and definitely not the apocalypse. Thank you! I needed a laugh. You are truly awesome, Noel :)
I had a chuckle at that, too. Don't ever change, Noel, we love you!
the concrete buildings in Athens are mostly apocalyptic
The Parthenon is one of several buildings of the Acropolis. 80 hours on discount airlines would make anyone think it's the apocalypse.
Was laughing at that bit too😅
I will be fair, flying JetStar is the close enough to the apocalypse….
Noel calling the sydney opera house ‘big theatre thingy’ hahaha
Sydney Australia, millions spent on tourism advertising.... "It's just like Newcastle" 😂
Side note on Australia. Couldn’t help notice the jet star flight was codeshared with Qantas. Imagine not checking the codeshare partner and getting Jetstar flight for Qantas price. Flown both as well. Would be pissed!
and the Sagrada Familia was just the big church in Barcelona hahahah
It’s the symbol that should be imprinted on vaccine cards worldwide.
Don't forget the Apocalypse in Athens 🤣
As an Australian, it's so good and not surprising to see the friendly people welcoming you with a shake of the hand
Southwest is one of my favorite airline despite being lowcost. My aunt was a flight attendant for them for decades so my family has some brand loyalty, but even the more prestigious airlines can hardly beat the 2 free checked bags that they offer and their safety record. I also love the wifi on board and the friendliness of the flight attendants. Of course, I wasn't affected by their logistical melt down over christmas, so I imagine if I had experienced that I would have soured on them.
I love them too, but that incident where the woman died really affected me
I still think SWA is preferable to Spirit and JetBlue
That JetStar flight attendant that recognised you really put a smile on my face, such a lovely interaction, much like all the others that recognised you in this video!
Timestamp?
@@TheFalseShepphard 31:20
It was qantas but yeah its so wholesome
As a Southwest Flight Attendant who loves to your channel, thanks for the shout out aboard our plane. I am so Glad the crew on the last leg took care of you with a congratulatory beverage.
I was watching you board the last leg, thinking" if that was my working flight, I would comp you one or two" and the crew read my mind. I am glad all the folks saw you and recognized you. I would love to have you on my flight anytime. Alas, I am Las Vegas based. Congratulations on another round the world in 80 hour adventure.
I love SW. always the plane of my choice. Just spent last week doing a leg from ATL o Las Vegas and back. The attendants are always amazing to me.
Love flying SW! 💛💙❤
@@Stevel5662 I've only been to the US once, did three domestic flights: Delta JFK-PDX which was hell. Then Southwest for PDX-SFO and SFO-LAX. Both of those were a shock to me, because everything seemed so laid-back: choose your own seat, cabin crew really personable and informal. And the flights were super cheap!
@@JuniperBoy yeah. That’s what so great about it. 😄
Of all the airlines he took southwest was the best.
That Acropolis view was actually so cool though, nestled in between buildings that already look like they are decaying is a monument that has withstood the test of time.
This is the first video of yours I've seen (I think) and I must say, it's refreshing and pleasant to see so many people (civilians and flight crew) that follow and recognize you. Good on you for being a cool dude!
Funny story, the Around the world in 80 hours was the first video of yours I watched. Now 3 years later I’m back!
What took you so long? Haha
Fr😂
Same
It's nearly 4 years believe it or not. 2019 felt like yesterday.
😂 😂 Me too. First video and I've been addicted since.
As a retired Air France crew, we used to fly around the world Eastbound on a 10 day schedule with layovers in Athens, Teheran, Karachi, Bangkok, Tokyo, Anchorage..... Exhausted upon returning to Paris, I can imagine what you must feel like doing this marathon 79:15 hours trip!!. Thanks for the videos.
Not sure how you do it 😢 feel really bad for crew that do Singapore to New York 😧 how do they do it 🤔
I don't know why airlines had up to 4 stops on international flights in the 70s
@@roymackenzie-jy4lr Because technology wasn't as great and they couldn't fly nearly as far as they can today. You had to stop every 1k-2k to refuel.
@@liftoffandtravelTwo sets of crew with ample rest area beds...
@@DavidTheScientist even so nothing beats your bed back home. Always found the sound of the engines when you put your head on the pillow on the 777 a little distracting 😂✈️
For some reason RUclips recommended this video to me even though i'm not subscribed (sorry!) but i really enjoyed this vid. Massive appreciation that you took this much effort for 1 video. But what got me the most is that you approached every staff in the same very friendly way. Thanking them for their work and making them feel appreciated, which unfortunately is something that almost nobody does. It's such a small thing that, i think, does so much for the person in question.
As someone who is terrified of flying, I’m very happy to watch this video from my couch 😂 Especially the duct taped wing! You are very brave Noel!
Just to assuage your fears, its speed tape. A metal foil based tape thats used to cover and paint chips or small dents, purely to improve aerodynamics and reduce drag :)
I love this channel. You're so fearless about your own discomfort. So many other channels are like "$25,000 plane seat!!" meanwhile you're like "I flew Spirit airlines for a week straight!"
Katy, thank you so much for your kind words!
@@noelphilips no way you changed your name to Jhon Pork 💀
Still can't believe he did UK 🇬🇧 Australia 🇦🇺 and back in one go 😱
❤❤
Yeah, right. Real hero . Flying cheap airlines. That's something!
Flying MEL-SYD on Qantas isn’t cheating. What you had there was a genuine, typical Jetstar experience 🤣
🤣😂
exactly
Yup, but flying Southwest in the US, the most expensive US airline, is a gross violation of "low cost" claim. I fly all the time and Southwest is a great marketing machine because it's nearly always the most expensive yet people believe it's "low cost".
❤
They once cancelled our flight on Christmas Day (!) but put us immediately on a Qantas one, so we didn't really mind haha.
I appreciate your commitment to the low cost experience as you sailed by the window exit row seat on SWA with the double leg room. The greatest advantage of SW is the flexibility of scheduling which still is better than most others. Congratulations on your circumnavigation!
Superb video. This shows you why its so important to look at what is the best flight for "you" rather than the cheapest.
"Low cost" is not always lowest price, and the extras push you into standard full service carrier realms.
Great vid, thanks for making it.
For me personally this was absolutely the best video for aviation that exists. For the majority of people this is how we fly. Seeing you go around the world this way, just might make some people's dreams come true. I love business class and first. But it's often out of reach without miles or a lucky departure date. I applaud you making this video. I thank you for this. No one really does economy flying. You are diversifying. Also the tours of planes no longer in service, give me personally the most well rounded view of aviation.
The suffering you put yourself through for our entertainment, especially compared to some other aviation RUclipsrs, never ceases to amaze me
Suffering?!?
The dude is doing something billions of people alive today couldn’t even dream of.
Suffering. Get the FCK out of here
Other Airline youtubers: "$40,000 FIRST CLASS, BUT FREE FOR ME LADS! HOW FAR UP MY OWN ASS CAN I SOUND IN THIS VIDEOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
Suffering ??? Try working a real job with a family to support.
Suffering ? Go to any Third world nation thats suffering you clown.
This channel is a way to make money. Some people think RUclipsrs make videos out of the goodness of their hearts.
@@cwg73160 Sure, but that’s ok. We gain from their experience.
Fair play to you for doing this mamouth task. Its just proves what is possible in todays aviation world. I love how you show a bit of each country or states culture and history while your there. You are super polite to everyone. It really helps. Im teaching my daughters about manners and we got upgraded once as we were chatting to staff then they surprised us. My local coffee shop gives me the odd freeby too bless them. Just being nice makes everyone else feel nice too xxxx 💖💕
I'm flying low cost from NYC to LHR later this year, and you've filled me with reassurance that I'll survive by doing this trip and sharing this video, so thank you! Haha
I’m a ramp agent with SWA at PHX. One of my coworkers came by and said you came through and I was devastated I couldn’t say hi 😂. Awesome video!
You know what I like about you Noel, you don’t just travel first class like some other reviewers and take the easy option. I admire that you travelled economy for 80 hours. A real flier, well done !
Thank you!
This was 40 minutes of epic viewing. That was impressive sir. You were one brave man doing not just 1 but 2 jetstar flights!
Thank you!
Quick travel tip for anyone flying in to LaGuardia going to Manhattan:
Take the Q70 bus (FREE) from the airport to 61st & Woodside. Go to the LIRR ticket area and catch the rail to New York Penn (34th street, west side) or Grand Central Madison (42-48 streets, east side). $5 City Ticket (non-rush hours). 11-16 minutes later and there you are!!
Don't take a taxi unless you really have no other choice. Take Lyft if you have to as it's a flat rate. Those green/yellow meter guys will take you the longest way through as much traffic as possible to keep the meter ranking up $$$
Good advice for chicago too. Ask locals, new York and chicago have a vast transport system. You can get anywhere cheap. Taxis are for downtown and short trips. They are all trying to rip you off. They even manipulate the meter to move from acceleration alone. They will sit on the breaks at lights and Rev at like 3krpm to add $ to meter at lights. That's if they actually stop at a light. When I lived in wrigleyville I got hit by 2 taxis in a month. Not bad hits. But they are wild
Back then in 1873 when, Jules Verne wrote Around the World in 80 Days, which is a real Achievement! Today in 2023, some ordinary man can do it for 80 Hours! Congratulations Noel!
Nellie Bly actually managed to replicate that trip in less than 80 days.
The point of Verne's novel was that anyone (with enough money) could do that trip, on regularly scheduled carriers -- steamers, trains and such.
@@chuckoneill2023 Thank you! I'm hearing about her for the first time.
I read about her now and see that she managed to go around the world in 72 days in 1890!
A testament to the human spirit and drive! :)
Not really comparable, really. One trip is made on the surface, with the traveller visiting exotic places while the other is spent mostly in the air or in terminals where nothing much is seen or experienced.
@@purrfekt of course, you are right. I just mention from the raw time perspective
You can do it in a lot less than 80 hours! If you do a few long haul ones
Southwest has their ups and downs cancellation-wise, but you can always count on their crews to put you in a good mood...that safety briefing had me cracking up!
All flights have there ups and downs
The "stop screaming" had me laughing lots until I considered who was my favourite child. Now I know I am now prepared for this eventuality 😢
As an aviation maintenance worker, I appreciate your content. ULCC (Ultra low cost carriers) is a physical challenge, not just a challenge of timing. Need to see if you have ever done a global first class, short leg only episode.
Well done Noel, a great watch and you're always so courteous even when completely and utterly exhausted. So, your next challenge...the Ryanair challenge? Starting in the U.K, work your way around Europe, visiting every country within Europe and back to the U.K, only using Ryanair...in 7 days. You know you can do it and Mr. O'Leary will love you forever! Keep up the good stuff, great videos, always entertaining on our dull U.K evenings 🙂
As an aussie, I heard jet star and was scared for you. I’ve now realised that our standard for low cost is still better than airlines like scoot, 11 hours in what looks like a shitty coach bus seat with no tv looked like hell, jet star now seems phenomenal in comparison. Still don’t trust them to not cancel or delay my domestic flight by 6 hours 😅
no scoot is 1000% better than Junkstar
I flew Scoot Chiang Mai to it's hub in Singapore, because in 2020 SQ to NZ was my only option, that Scoot flight was the absolute worst of my life, and SQ just does not live up to its hype in premium economy either. Then there was the compulsory masks in a plane with NINE passengers. A nightmare trip.
Hey, Aussie here too. I flew both Jetstar internationally and domestically recently. Since I’ve flown virgin Australia domestically a lot I can say that Jetstar international flights are about the same quality as virgin Australia domestic. However, for Jetstar domestic, it was really bad. At least I wasn’t canceled, but I was stuck in the boarding line for 45 minutes. I was so tired from my previous connecting flight that I slept before we took of and woke upon landing. Jetstar international was still very uncomfortable though.
Flew Scoot Perth to Singapore on a 787-9. It was like flying Ryanair but medium/long-haul, and with worse food. Pretty shocking that it's owned by Singapore Airlines, almost like the people in the quality department started wondering "how unpleasant can we make economy travel?"
I must have gotten really lucky because I've flown jetstar domestically 8 times and never had a delay longer than 20 minutes and never had a cancellation. Sure, maybe, it isn't the most comfortable but it has allowed me to travel around Australia without completing breaking the bank and I'm thankful for that
Reminds me of a mileage run I once did, though definitely more hard core. To make my 120,000 threshold and get the extra upgrades, I once flew SEA->SFO->KCL->ORD->HOU->SFO->SEA for $250, and the weekend between Christmas and New Years. I get to the checkin desk, and when the machine spits out all 6 boarding passes, the woman behind the desk looks at me and goes "You're doing a mileage run aren't you?"
Wow.... That must have been exhausting. Where did you sleep during the trip?
@@liftoffandtravel Mostly on the plane (it was all in economy too), and a nap here and there in the lounges. I was (much) younger back then and could do that kind of stupid stuff.
@@nonenowherebye Man im so jealous. Long ago i was trying to get the upgrade into silver for LM, and i was short on the mileage runs (i had the miles flown but not the sectors), and i didnt know how to get em. Now im really short on money and wish i could have flown again.
"New years"
New year's what?
Very inspirational and I will sure to follow your footsteps soon. Happy
Journey 👌
Thank you. This is about the smartest thing that comes to my mind after having flown with you around the globe. What an incredible way to share your experience in such a way that makes viewers being part of your trip. The only other smart thing that comes to my mind apart from thanking you for your generosity - keep going. You got what it takes - you will get places - beyond traveling around the world.
Thank you.
"with scoot you're not allowed to bring your own food" ok but like how are they going to enforce that? if you just put it in your bag they can't really check and it's not like airport security is looking out for kitkats
Imagine Noel taking the Scoot flight from Singapore to Manila and then the Cebu Pacific A330 from Manila to Sydney as part of the 80 hour low cost challenge? That would be even another headache!
Id pay you to do that!
Dubai to Manila to Sydney on Cebu Pacific ❤
LOL Noel wouldn't make the 80 hours limit.
He did such a ultra density flight with Cebu
Is that one the all economy airplane?
Thanks for that, I admire your patience, and you saved me ever needing to do that
Noel, so kind of you to greet people even when rushing to your next flight. Fascinating video. Thanks from New Zealand!😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Congratulations Noel on becoming the first aviation youtuber who flashes black light on aircraft loos. Its an industry first
"How did it get up there??" 😂😳
I heard Noel's changing the name to the "Goo Review" lol GROSS!
I wonder what he would find if he flashed that light around his seat! 22:57
I remember your previous around the world video from a few years ago. Thank you for taking us along a new tour. Lord Noel, you are just incredible!
I love the diverse fans you have all over the world, and all such wholesome people!
Those low cost airline flights were a real blast from the past. My Dad worked as a gate/ticket/fueling agent for Northwest for almost 30 years. The 70's was our family's time for international travel, and those cramped seats and packed planes were the only way to fly (for us). The food was great, though.
On one overseas flight home, me, my little brother, and our parents had four separate non-revenue seats in different parts of the plane. They'd take turns checking on us kids.🛫
Travel tip for YOU, Noel. When getting a NYC cab...get in first, close the door, and THEN tell them where you wanna go. Once you're inside, they have accepted you as a fare and they HAVE to take you wherever you asked to go.
In this case you'll struggle to find a taxi driver that won't take you from an airport to an airport.
@indyracingnut. Exactly. That's what I do.
Great video. Flight Attendants deserve that recognition for all they do dealing with everyone's garbage. You deserve recognition also.👏
Proper nerves of steel required for this 1, but as ever, you accomplished what you set out to acheive. Sterling job Noel.
Fascinating! I am excited for your accomplishment!!😊
That's insane! *I'm* exhausted just thinking about it!
Thanks for bringing us along!
Noel, since you travel many hours at a time on a plane, mostly stationary, this is where strokes and heart attacks can come from, you may want to talk to your doctor about taking an aspirin or two a day or two before flying many hours. Deep leg thrombosis is very dangerous. All the best as usual and thank you for sharing your experiences.
Hi Noel, great video as always 😊FYI today you became a star in the Slovak National Broadcasting program dealing with interesting facts and people around the world with your 80 hours round-the-world low-cost trip. 😀 Congrats and warm greetings from Slovakia
I just returned a few weeks ago from an absolutely incredible trip to Australia and walking through Melbourne Tullamarine Airport gave me a nice flashback ❤
Hooray - more of these types of videos of low-cost airline endurance please, since these are what most of us fly on- great video though
Other avgeek RUclipsrs: "Hey guys, so today I'm flying United Air Emirates ANA elite lie-flat first class with back massage and personal chef"
Noel: "So...I'm gonna spend 80 hours in HELL." Thank you for the real reviews haha.
yeah, but usually our friend Noel is also almost flying Biz Class as well.
I'm only a few seconds into this. Other than the obvious reasons, I find myself in my head asking WHY? I get it.. views, sponsorships, showing people the feel of it etc. etc., but.. man.. this must have been BRUTAL by the end. Just figuring it all out and not missing a flight is impressive enough.. well let's see how it goes. God Bless you Noel, you're a brave man! (and you have a funny accent so even better!)
Fascinating trip Noel, as a new subscriber. It’s a wonder you didn’t drop. I noticed some flights had spare capacity and at least you could stretch out, but there is nothing worse than being cooped up in a no frills airline.
The Scoot $15 “food” and landing 😆 Loved the addition of the black light! Southwest FAs are usually pretty funny 😆
love how you went from 'not bad for a low cost airline' to 'loads of leg room' on the southwest max 8
I cannot imagine the utter relief you must have felt when you finally touched down in Houston! Thanks for a great video Noel 😁🤘
I love these type of videos please keep on making more video exactly like these you are my favourite RUclipsr
You are a legend for all the suffering you chooses to go through. That 11 hour on Scoot looked absolutely miserable-no headrest on seat and no entertainment screen sweet jesus 😂
You may go through physical hell on your journeys but these videos are so relaxing to watch. You're always taking the viewer on a new adventure and gives me so much inspiration for where to travel next. All the very best for your upcoming travels!
Thank you for your kind words!
Noel, I learned a lot about each low cost carrier thanks to you in-depth video. It was also nice to see major landmarks again or for the first time from the perspective of your lens.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Brilliant mate!! Well done!! Looks rightfully exhausting but I love traveling and would love to do something like this 👏 👊
Thank you for making this video! As others have said, you do sometimes make flights that include business class, but you also do stuff like this which I really like! I will be trying to do something like this myself in the near future. Looking forward to seeing more of these in the future. 😊
Noel's talent to endure suffering for views is quite unrivalled in the travel space!
Enduring suffering is Noel's raison d'etre. It allows him to have his usual moan. Sad Sack personified.
Once again, you still never cease to amaze me with your reviews, particularly on this very sad "mourning" time of my life...thank you Noel for your reviews, they have been my therapy to cope with my "mourning"......
I stumbled across your greyhound across america video, saw it was like 40 minutes long and thought, well F that, im not going to watch a guy on a bus for 40 minutes.... 40 minutes later and here I am looking at your other videos. Mildy entertaining, somewhat informative, occasionally comical and you seem like a pretty nice guy. Thanks Noel, keep up the good work
Great show Noel! I’m sure this was a lot harder at 6’4” than it would be for me at 5’3”! 😂😂. Thank you for biting the bullet
What a great video. That must have been a blur to say the least. And a wonderful shoutout to flight attendants. They are indeed appreciated beyond words.
As an Aussie its so nice to see Airline staff and viewers alike greet you with such enthusiasm and friendliness.
AMAZING video Noel. I watch all your videos but i really enjoyed this on.
Glad to hear it!
41:08 wow, even the cabin crew were impressed with your challenge, you deserve this moment. :)
Congratulations!🎉
As a former flight attendant for 33 years, I definitely circumnavigated our planet countless times, serving countless numbers of passengers from all over our planet.
And I loved my job and met countless friendly people from all over the planet.
But I could never survive an 80hrs. trip around the world, mostly squeezed in low-cost carriers' economy class.
Probably you had to put me in a medical intensive care unit in Singapore 😂 or Melbourne, at the latest.
I can still remember the mid 1990's, when a around-the-world ticket cost the same, but on full service airlines.
how long were you a crew? And what made you not scared of plane crash?
@@corykong6510 I was a flight attendant with Lufthansa German Airlines from 1982 until my early retirement in 2015.
33 years as a full-time crew, and not a single severe accident.
I love this video all people that are nervous with flying should see this, all low cost airlines so many flyes nothing happens. Love it thank you!
Amazing video Noel!! I love these types of videos where you put yourself to the test and share with us your experience. Keep it up!! 😍😍
Thank you!
when are you flying to Mypos , heard theres a sheep herder named Balki there whod like to meet you :P@@noelphilips
Massive respect for doing this. Great stuff. This is what youtube is all about 💪
Nice one dude. Well done and extremely brave to give this a go.
Once I did an RTW in a combination of Business/First via One World.
I was totally exhausted and spent - I would never try this at the back of bus.
Congratulations.
Wow!! You really did a great job vlogging this 80 hours around the world flights!! Very entertaining sir!! Kudos to your channel!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Hi Noel, I randomly stumbled upon your channel and have watched a couple of videos. Hats off to you for the endurance feat of travelling so far in such a short time.
I have now subscribed.
Thank you! Welcome aboard!
Awesome video Noel
Back in 2014 me and my friend did around the world in 53 hrs never leaving the airports..
FLL-CVG-CDG-NRT-JFK-FLL. Best flights I’ve ever had and people thought I was crazy. Slept a total of 3 hrs on all my flights. Keep up the great work.
What airlines did you take? FLL-CVG to hop on Delta I assume? Didn't they end up massively overbuilding that airport?
@@RobJaskula yes it was delta and yes they did overbuild it and today it is a shell of what it was.
Congratulations, Noel! I'm sure your sunny disposition masks all the worries of making it, but got did it!! It was a very fun video too!
Brilliant video. I thoroughly enjoyed it
I loved this one Noel. Thank you so much for enduring this voyage from hell so the rest of us can avoid it.
I was wondering whether the first three flights were any good, or whether your enthusiasm carried you through.
And at the same time, the realisation of what still lay ahead when you woke up in Athens and the fatigue setting in, contributed to the last flights looking so much worse.
Keep well.
JP
What a joyous video! As someone that spends a lot of his life on planes and in airports it's a joy to watch someone that truly loves to travel and share their amazing experiences. Keep up the good work Noel. You're one of the good guys
Thank you!
Been a subscriber for around 2 years! I hope this channel gets to a million subscribers by the end of the year and thank you Noel for all your hard work and great content!!
for more visibility he should make a joint video with some other aviation geek, like Sam Chui. Artists do that to sell more records 😊
Just came back from holiday, your videos are keeping me well entertained on my post holiday blues. 😂 Top bloke and subscribed 👍
Noel, thank you for another amazing report about your trip around the world! 😀👍 You're just a maniac traveler😜 Clear skies and soft landings!👍
Hey from Australia! I heard Jetstar and was a little hesitant for you but it was amazing to see people so happy to see you. Can’t deny we have some of the friendliest airline staff around! 😊
Great video, as always. Highlight was Southwests safety announcement from Hawaii. I think a lot of airlines forgot that flying can be fun and safe. Good to see that still exists in places.
Absolutely crazy! I don't know how you managed to do this!
I was about to mention your bravery & stamina for doing this, then you mentioned cost to coast on greyhound 😂🤦♀️ You deserve a medal 🥇
I always love these Round the World challenges by Noel Philips. A staunch fan from Kenya 🇰🇪
So glad you have the black light for my favourite ever loo review! Please use that every time, especially on business and first class to find out the TURTH!!
I flew from Tampa to Vegas on Frontier and the leg room was so bad I was in agony. It took me a day to recover from being so sore. The flight back I upgraded to safety aisle and it was fine.
There is a Southwest pilot that has a RUclips channel and he frequently flies the PHX-HNL route. His channel is flyingwithbigern. I thought of him when I saw your path. I also grew up in Phoenix and Sky Harbor was my home airport for half my life. Love SWA, too! Really enjoyed the marathon you just went on! Cheers!
