I've landed at Bill Clinton airport where I've had a happy ending lol. I saw what you did there. You will try anything to entertain us with all those arduous flights, you must be exhausted by all of that flying. I don't know how you do it. You're right, Southwest Airlines get a bad rap, but I don't think they are that bad at all. Thank you for your great wit yet again and entertaining video of your travels.
I prefer Delta and Alaska. Like to pick my seat and get upgrades.
Thank goodness it’s not called Huckabee international!
Noel knows how to shoe in a dirty joke here and there on his vids it’s quite funny. His favorite is flying SCAT Airlines
@@davidbalcon8726 will clinton-huckabee soon enough.
I bet being at Bill Clinton airport was a stimulating experience.
4:13 Good bless the two individuals that were being transported in the underbelly of the plane 🙏🏾🕊️
those were bodies???
@@DaveRidesADyna At 4:23 you can see the writing on it as the destination is "Funeral Chapel". Yes. Bodies. God bless.
@@DaveRidesADynaas a ramp agent we got a lot human remains on flights. At one point we were avg atleast one body per plane
I work for Southwest on the ramp in Denver! Glad to finally see you fly on Southwest! Those large white boxes you filmed going off and on the air plane was human remains or a dead body! Southwest does a lot of those! Looks like yall had an extra person flying with you!
I can’t tell if you’re being serious 😂 you’re so energetic “human remains or a dead body!” 😂
Same with the brown one going on in Arkansas….even told you where the head was…….
For anyone curious, this is at 4:08 and 4:25
I carried on my father's ashes once. He rode in the carry on under the seat.
I only fly out of Denver on Southwest, so thanks for getting me there safe! 😂
Happy Ending at Bill Clinton Airport? hehe cheeky Noel...
Under the table jokes
oh oh hohhh
When there was a delay on the last leg I'm surprised Noel didn't say "Houston, we have a problem!". He must have been tired after such a long day. :)
@@danielayers😂😂😂
“Southwest is my guilty pleasure”. Love it dude.
I see canyon blue,I'm happy
Whataburger also has great breakfast options. Love the honey butter chicken sandwich.
The Mongolian currency conversion at the end was quite helpful, thank you! 😂😂
Sadly I only have 2.3 million Tugriks.....
Haha right! lol 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Mongolian currency is insane 😂😂😂
You should do a challenge of flying from IAH to HOU however you have to fly around the world and your stops have to alternate between cities in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. That would be crazy but if anyone is able and willing, you are the man!!!
Oooh, that’s a good one!
Ripper idea, imagine the jet lag though. 😊
Nice challenge!!
I haven't done anything crazy like hop around the country on one plane, but one time, I did fly on United from New Orleans to Newark, so I could connect to a 777-300 flight on to San Francisco. I had never flown a 777 and that was an opportunity to do so. I also did an around the world business class journey using SkyTeam miles. I went from New Orleans, to Los Angeles, to Seattle, to London, to Rome, to Seoul, to New York, to New Orleans. Got my one and only A380 experience on Korean A380 between ICN and JFK.
How is Rachel? We haven't heard anything about her health in a lil while. I suffer from lupus & muscular sclerosis so I sympathize with her on so many levels. I'm always thinking of her and keep her in my prayers cuz living with pain while being a full time Mother is challenging! I hope she and your fabulous children are doing great! Thank you for my coffee and cigarette entertainment! I enjoy your videos so much! Take care and God bless 🙏🫶
The whole family is doing a lot better now, thank you for asking.
Asking about Racheal and being told the WHOLE family is ok.
@@PolishedBeauty Hey, privacy is privacy.
@@noelphilips14:25 sorry wtf?
@@PolishedBeauty?
I grew up in the Long Beach area.
Jetblue used to serve that airport , and it's so much nicer flying out of there , than sitting in traffic to/from LAX.
I heard that , when Jetblue left Long Beach , Southwest bought all of their slots.
Long Beach airport is the most convenient airport for those taking a cruise ship out of the San Pedro cruise ship terminal
What's always fun is when you have to plan your own re-route because of the weather. I once hopped on one of the last SWA planes out of Midway before a snowstorm hit having personally come up with the 3 stop routing to my destination before I jumped onboard. The 1-800 customer service guy was fantastic as I was sitting in the terminal w/ snow falling all around, followed along on his computer, and booked all my tickets in some oddball routing way more complicated than the computer could ever figure out. But 4 flights and 3 planes later I was at my destination probably only about 6 hours tardy. Still, I got there that day! TY SWA.
I work at MCI (Kansas City International) I wish I would’ve gotten to meet you. I know the ramp agent that walked your plane in, I’m gonna show him this video 😂
He looked fun lol
I salute you for doing 14 hours on southwest I can barely do 5 hours before I get jumpy their seats are just comfortable for a few hours
I miss seeing you round Mansfield Noel eating a cob from the pound bakery or Greg’s now your jet setting I couldn’t be more pleased for you and love watching your videos!
It speaks well for Southwestern that such an elderly aircraft gave you a pleasant flight. They must look after their aircraft.
I'm a huge fan of Southwest (I really don't like flying any other airline), and you left off mentioning the best part, the comedy from the flight attendants.
I only fly Ryanair !
I only fly Piedmont
To use miles and fly first class alone, I once went CLT-DFW-PDX-SF0 -- it was a marathon of lovely meals & gorgeous scenery, and cost a grand total of $17 cash. Epic! ✈
Your turbulent first flight reminds me of how bloody much I have always hated any bumpiness.
I have always admired your fortitude flying, actually.
In 2003 I took a SWA Flight from Albany, NY to Burbank via BWI, MEM, HOU, and ABQ. The agents joked it was their "See America Tour". The flight continued on to Oakland, and there was on Pax onboard who did that whole trip!
Kattaru from patron here: I could not resist the urge.
The wheelchairs in Dallas: From what I've heard, Dallas Love uses Prospect Airport Services, but like always SW pax be wilding. The Black chairs are for the proper airline, but The blue chair most likely belongs to entirely different contractor, and at my airport those blue Staxi wheelchairs would belong to Jet blue. I hope they get their chair back!
In the past few years I've take a few SWA flights that eventually got me to my destination. The first was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Dallas - Albuquerque, and then a few months later it was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Colorado Springs - Las Vegas (overnight) then on to Long Beach to visit family. I'd like to fly them more often, but I have a couple of airports closer to home so now it's Delta, United or occasionally American. Good video - glad you shared your experience.
Southwest's model is really good for passengers when things go right, but when the FAA had that system crash it hurt SWA more than most because their planes were scattered far and wide. I wish more airlines used this old bus route model, but hub-and-stoke sadly makes a lot more sense from an airline point of view.
I remember when Southwest had that system malfunction at Christmas time, 2022. I was one of the lucky ones who ended up spending the night in the Baltimore airport because of it.
So glad to see my favorite travel RUclipsr trying this adventure! I was counting down the days until I got to see you try this one. I always fly with Southwest as it feels more like a joyride rather than just a transportation service 😂
I just flew Southwest last week, and I was even in Houston Hobby airport for a very short layover. Southwest is my favorite airline.
A couple of times I got continuing flights going to Midland, TX. One time it was 3 flights ATL-MSY-HOU-MAF, another was 2 flights ATL-HOU-MAF.
With Southwest's open seating policy I can make a last minute decision which side to sit on. I often lookup the digital ATIS and load the planned route in Navigraph just before the flight to determine which side of the plane might have the best view, especially during departure or approach.
Thank you again... I have had the fortune at while working in the US, lived in each city you stopped in
Houston was my favorite. Loved eating seafood in Galveston.
Greetings from Sweden.
That was good fun Noel, I agree that South West airlines is onto a long term sustainable path. I’m loving the diversity of episodes, keep up,the great work ❤❤❤
9:45 the guy beside you😂
He look like he was dying. 😂😂
Honestly, I love flying Southwest! The flight attendants some of my past flights were pretty chill. No assigned seats, I always snag a window seat towards the back of the plane. Really good prices and on sale on certain days. I also like their cancel flight policy, you get flight credit towards your next rescheduled trip. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Glad to see you finally doing a Southwest Airlines flight! That's the ONLY airline I'll ever take especially after having 2 American Airlines flights (departure and return) barely landing before their engines quit and we had to be pulled to the gate. The departure flight literally just barely got on the ground in the city I was traveling to before the engines quit. Then I took a Delta flight and was discriminated against because I'm wheelchair bound and in my 50's yet they forced me to pay for a ticket to have one of their employees travel with me which I have never and would never need. Trust me if we have to make an emergency landing I'll be the absolute first person to go down that shoot with absolutely no help from anyone! Just because someone is disabled doesn't mean we're unable to help ourselves or unable to be completely independent. I used to work for Southwest as a reservation agent so I have always loved them. Plus they understand how to make those of us with disabilities not feel like we're unable to do anything ourselves. Welcome to KCI airport! I was born in Missouri and grew up in Kansas. I'm actually glad that you got off the plane in KC so I could get a little glimpse of the new terminal since I'll be flying back home to KC to visit family in July. It definitely looks a lot better than the old terminal that is for sure!
A scenic route around America on southwest. A very interesting route southwest has from Dallas to Houston Tx. A Good adventure 😊 Much love on your journey @noelphilips ❤
Hey Noel was amazing as always to join you aboard, glad you had a great trip! I recently read a book by Simon Sinak, he mentions how Southwest's strong sense of purpose, driven by Herb Kelleher's values, has revolutionised the airline industry. Putting their 'why' first, not just the 'what' or 'how,' has turned Southwest into more than just a company - it's a force for change. This reminds us all that success comes from staying true to our core values.
Start practicing now for your appearance in KC later, KCMO is Missouri and not Kansas. If you mess it up, there's a better than 50% chance the crowd will let you know. I've seen national touring acts get booed for making that slip up.
Welcome to Chicago Midway and Southwest flight 999 with service to Nashville with contuining service to Orlando, Baltimore, Hartford, St Louis, Phoenix, and Dallas. If you are staying on between cities, you can earn brownie points with your flight attendants by helping us clean the cabin during our record winning 32 minute turns.
32min Turns, almost never, and never at MDW or ATL, those are a thing of the past, the average chock to unchock is 1 hour... sorry, you all rarely do that these days...
Hi Noel I’ve just started watching the Vlog/video as I was waiting for the nurse to give me my medication - as you know I have secondary progressive multiple sclerosis and lupus. I live in a rehabilitation centre and either bedbound or wheelchair bound. ~ I’m in the middle of a flareup at the moment and I’m seeing the multiple sclerosis nurse on Tuesday ~ I absolutely love your Vlog/video as you go to places I can only dream about ~ your content is always great ~ thank you for all your hard work in putting these vlogs/videos together- sending loads of love and loads of hugs to you and your family ~ Xxx Xxx
So cool Noel another interesting journey. Looking forward to seeing Rach up in the air again all the best to her. Not as crazy as this video but back in 1991 I flew Osaka to Adelaide via Melbourne on a Singapore 744. The flight between Melbourne and Adelaide was quite empty and we almost froze and had to ask for the ac to be turned down hahaha but pretty cool flying a 747 on such a short hop. Off to PVG tomorrow on CES out of MEL all the best to the family.
That brought back memories. Love it. Great video. I was based in DAL and HOU. We didn't fly to Long Beach at the time so never got to overtnight there. Safe travels.
Thank you for the great review of southwest! Pretty much the only airline i fly on. Loved it!
Im so glad i found this channel. Ive always had a fascination with flying but im scared to death of it lol my father was a mechanic for American Airlines for 38 years so i grew up around the airport he worked at pre 9/11 when pretty much anyine could just walk into the maintenance shop lol im just glad i can watch these videos and enjoy from my couch.
Back in 1995 I flew on Southwest from Spokane, WA to Midland, TX. Here was my route: Spokane to Boise, Boise to Reno, Reno to L.A., L.A. to El Paso (all of those flights were on the same plane), and then El Paso to Midland. I wasn't on the same plane as long as you were, but almost! I enjoy your videos!!!
I love LBX airport. I grew up north of it and loved watching the planes take off from my backyard.
The most impressive aspect of this trip were the logistics scheduling it. As noted, you had to book from Dallas -> Long Beach then book a ticket from Long Beach -> Houston to stay on SWA flight 184.
Great video Noel! I really enjoyed it! What an odd mix of schedule changes to make it so hard to keep up with which is their longest flight! Still hope to try this concept someday and fly and review Southwest as I’ve never flown them yet! 😅
Loved this video! Thanks for the amazing content - this is easily one of my favorite channels
Wow, thanks!
Another great vlog Noel thank you, I am just back from Malaga on the Jet 2 , 737 - 800 , my first time flying with them and was pleasantly surprised they were very good and they do a lovely Starbucks Caramel latte lol , 👍✈️
I love your videos and can not wait to see the Newest ones on Sunday nights , you’re my favorite on You tube ! Thank you for sharing your videos, and happy to see you on Tic Toc 🙏🏻💕
Wow, thank you!
He’s the best + definitely in my top 2 channels. 😊
8:47 🤔 Ha 🤣 ❗️Not a normal thing that normal people would usually do, but it was very enjoyable watching you from the relative comfort of my black leather electric recliner ❗️
Love southwest! I flew them all the time out of EWR. Need them to come back
Hey Noel! I work for Southwest in Baltimore, Maryland. If you are ever traveling on a SWA flight near the east coast anywhere from Boston to Miami, you would connect through my airport of BWI to get there just like you explained! I love the company I work for and glad you enjoy flying with us. I work in Ground Operations at the airport but plan to become a flight attendant someday soon. I hope you continue to make videos flying Southwest and would be delighted to run into you one day wherever I may be.
Also, fun fact: SWA has specific days of the year where every passenger receives their first drink on the plane free of charge, like Halloween and Valentine's Day! Cheers!
Great clip Noel, it reminds me of a trip from Cleveland - Memphis- Dallas on a Greyhound Bus. Only difference it took forever. Thank you
Glad you enjoyed it
I love the new Kansas City Airport terminal. BTW - You never were in Kansas as the Kansas City Airport is in Missouri :)
Actually, he was in Kansas for about one hour, including a good bit of the landscape seen on approach to 1L
@@bobsmith8077 How was he in Kansas for 4 hours? He was in Kansas Airspace, but never touched the ground. I could say I have been to all 50 US States as I flew over them.....Does that count?
@@akalina somehow between the text editor and cut-n-paste "one hour flying across more than 400 miles" morphed into "4 hours". Now corrected.
Another great video! Noel, I'm so thankful that you and your family were safe from the storm last week 🙏🙏❤️❤️
Thank you so much!
Familiar views of my home airport LIT. Enjoyed it as usual.
5:45 no sports mode with the crocs such a rockie mistake !! 😂
4:00 "I have landed at Bill Clinton National Airport where I had a happy ending..." Nicely said, unless it's only me that found this funny and saw a joke there 🤣
Great video Noel i enjoyed watching 😊
Glad you enjoyed
I RAN to this video because I love southwest lol. I love how you stayed on the same plane though, I was thinking you would’ve had to change planes.
12:26 Good on Southwest for removing the possibility of booking yourself a super long and expensive indirect flight if you just want to go a short distance. I remember there was a time where you could book expensive Sydney to Melbourne tickets where you fly via Dubai, Abu Dhabi or Doha.
Good Afternoon, Noel. I had crossed 2 hr watching so had to close it. Yr clip is the first to start on Air- cell on'd now.
I fly to SoCal for business from time to time, but I always go to LAX just because I know where everything is, even though Longbeach would be closer. Thank you for the detailed LongBeach tour. I will have to reconsider next time. 😂
It's nice to see you on Southwest!!! I'll be flying with them on Tuesday from BWI to Hobby Airport! I wonder, have you ever flown through Baltimore before????
You've been missing out by not stopping at Long Beach before. Getting to walk across the tarmac and board via air stairs at *both* the front and back end of the plane is quite a unique experience in the US. Back before Long Beach was a Southwest hub, it was Jet Blue's old hub, and they used the same boarding process there.
Long Beach also takes advantage of how good their weather is by having a literal outdoor walk between their north and south gates and (last I checked) having a baggage claim that's open to the air on the side.
LOVED HAVING YOUR COSTS AT THE END OF YOUR VIDEOS. LOVED THE MONGOLIAN CURRENCY EQUIVALENT IN THERE. KEEP THAT UP ITS FUN.
My longest was a Pakistan Air flights from Tokyo to London back in 1981. Took like 48 hours with more than 6~7 legs. It was so hard that I’d still try to avoid multiple leg flights to this day.
“Fancy seeming you here!” - Noel, 2024
The most British thing I’ve ever heard from him 😂😂❤
Always liked Southwest. Thanks Noel
Great video, really enjoyed that!
Awesome, thank you!
Noel, that's a Crazy flight route and makes for a hella Long day 😂. ❤ Great video as Always 😌.
Dang, that plane sure has seen better days indeed.
Brilliant again Noel as always great content 😘
Glad you enjoyed it
Hi Noel. Thanks for yet another entertaining show. I love watching your travel experiences and I try not to miss any. Would it be possible though to not fast-forward your takeoffs on at least some of your flights? I think a takeoff is one of the most exciting parts of a flight, with the sheer power of those jet engines getting such a massive beast into the air. Thanks again for supplying some great entertainment on your channel. It's much appreciated!
I love these "through flights". Breeze does this also and it is nice to not have to get off the plane for a layover.
Noel you really are an aviation NUT! Hilarious!! Congrats on surviving it! You weren't in Kansas at any point on the ground today Noel...MCI, it's in Missouri.
Enjoyed watching this video, big fan of SWA
I like the video very much Noel job well done
04:00 I had a happy ending too when I finished mt trip to Vienna on Tuesday. I bet I smiled more than you! Good to see the foxes back where we belong.
Wow - flying 14 hours non stop from INC-LHR on an A350 was long enough. A 737 is a very different matter - big respect. 👏
Noel very enjoyable vlog. Brings back memories for me travelling around with SW on spotting trips on 200/300/500 series of B737s . Sadly on my last flight leg we were denied our salted peanuts treat due to a fellow passenger with a severe nut allergy 😞
Finally ahh been waiting for a new video that I've been watching the old ones again hh
Thanks Noel for another great video! I didn’t know Southwest were doing these types of flights. Thank you for showing travelers this trip with Southwest. I was wondering about your luggage if you had any and what the cost is for weight of luggage. Also were the items on the plane were they free I did you had to pay for them? Safe travels Noel thank you! Looking forward to you next video sir! God bless you and your family!
I love southwest we fly yep them a lot and their customer service is great
Thank you for this! 😄
That sounds like my kind of Day Out! I took three flights in January just to end up at the same place I started from. It wasn't the same flight number of course, in fact it was three different airlines. There was a couple of trains and a bus involved too but just sometimes it is the journey that is more important than the destination, especially on a dull winter's day.
My favorite airline! So exciting to see a Southwest video!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Noel so glad you made it through Kansas City. But sweets you were in Missouri. Not Kansas. We kinda have a thing about that. We still love ya though.❤
I have been through Long Beach a few times. Cool airport. I was recently on a BA321neo in Club for 7 hours odd hours (work it out), and actually it wasn't too bad. I was amazed.
While it wasn't the same plane, I did a monster 30-hour journey around the US with US Airways 15 or so years back, just after I had started as a flight attendant.
Starting at about 6am on day one, the routing was DCA-CLT-LAX-PHX-SEA-LAS-PHL-DCA. I got back around Noon the next day. The agent at the check-in desk looked at me funny when she brought up my locator
I did repeat a plane, as the plane for my PHX-SEA leg was the same one that did SEA-LAS.
So, I can identify with how worn out you were. Good on ya!
Good one Noel🎉
Would love to see you on one of my flights that I am working. Love your vlogs. Keep them coming.
WN Flight Attendant here. Wanted to say hi and I greatly enjoy watching your different experiences during your travels!
Longest day, on duty for me was a 17 hour duty day on one plane (yes, you read that right). During the beginning of recovery of COVID when flying has picked up faster than we can bring employees and planes back.
We originated a 737-700 in Cleveland and terminated it in Miami. Our original routing was supposed to be CLE-BNA-PNS-BWI-MIA. But due to thunderstorms in BNA that morning, we ended up diverting to ATL instead before we made our way back to BNA but not before a ground stop since the storms stalled directly over BNA airport.
5 flights, 3 sets of pilots, 17 hours, and one single plane later, we finally made it to Miami. In case you’re wondering. No, the flight attendants did not step foot off that same aircraft the entire day since it was just constant quick turns after quick turns.
Crickey! You are glutton for punishment mate! Excellent video, very entertaining!
Noel, you're perfectly normal! Grand vid on South west btw. Keep on keeping on
I’ve never flown such a tortuous route. The nearest was BA’ last direct flight to Kilimanjaro in 1982 on TriStar. Heathrow Athens Amman Dar es Salaam Kilimanjaro. It was delayed on the way and took as long as a flight to Sydney
Only Noel would do this lol! Love the videos. I'm nervous for my flight home to the UK tonight and this is making me feel better. If Noel can do this, I can take a four hour hop from Greece to the UK 😊
You can do it!
I did it! Thanks Noel. Ready for my next adventure soon 😊
Interesting and flying on Southwest. Loved the views over Nevada into Las Vegas . Little Rock Arkansa The Bill Clinton Int'l Airport not known just for the lip service. Skyline of Houston inbound was a treat beautiful city from afar. Looking forward to next video
17:07 - The old lady in the seat next to you freaked out when you said tired! 😀
You said it Noel only you could taje that flight , what sets you apart as the best !!!!!
Great Video Noel...Southwest is considered a "Mid-range carrier"...the low-cost ones are Spirit and Frontier.....Then you got JetBlue which is sort of a lone-wolf carrier because they offer full services at lower costs....
I saw your very first Video and many years later: you still Crazy ❤
Worth my coffee and chocoflan! Always great content
