lol
Congratulations Dan on all the subscribers - you've done it because you make great, informative vlogs - and you seem a really nice guy as well - keep up the great vlogs and thank you for sharing with us all (hope your going to treat Oscar again soon to celebrate the 2K lol)
I agree
Congratulations on 200K!!!! Thank you very much for inspiring me to start my mileage hobby, and I hope that your videos will help me to become like you! You are the only aviation blogger so far who established such a personal connection with the subscribers - keep up on the good work!!!
Congratulations on 200K!! You deserve it! Keep the amazing videos coming, you're inspiring thousands!
Whooo! I’m so happy you’ve made this vid, I’m so excited!!
we have the same last name
Great tips, thanks! Also huge congratulations on 200K!!
Great video Dan and Congratulations on 200k! I've been watching your vids since 2013 and you've truly come a long way. Also, thanks for sharing this info, looking forward to the many more to come.
Congratulations on reaching 200K! I can't travel the world so I live vicariously through you. LOL I always enjoy your top notch view on the industry. Thanks for taking us along.
Congrats on 200K subscribers. Your content and enthusiasm earned this milestone.
Congrats on 200k viewers and I’m happy to be one of them! Great tips. Appreciate the video! Keep em coming!!
Thanks to those small pieces of plastic we get this awesome content congrats on 200k
Wow your one of my favorite youtubers I wasn't expecting a like thanks for that!
Well done. The honesty and passion pays off.
Congratulations for 200 000 subscribers! Well deserved! Keep up with the great work!
Congrats on 200k amazing achievement. Also nice to see you sharing your tips and tricks as well. Signing up for the Amex BA Standard & Premium Plus Cards was the best thing I ever done. Being UK based BAEC is the best FF programme to earn on as you can fly both short & long haul. In the space of 6 months( by November this year) I will be going from Blue( entry level) to Silver/ OWS and with the cards I already have enough miles to fly 2 of us on an Amex 2-4-1 in business class and back to thailand for nothing.
I've taken hundreds of trips on Easyjet and have nothing to show but the memories of the trips. Now im going to have all the benefits of BAEC Silver/ OWS and a free flight to somewhere I've always wanted to visit.
I'd never guess you were Swedish, you sound American to my UK ears lol. Great videos and well done on 200K subs!
I'm pretty sure he is American. At least even if he isn't a citizen he does spend a lot of time in the US.
Paul2377 funny I thought he was from the UK
I think he mentioned in a different video that he spent his early childhood in the UK (maybe even born there) and I believe his mother is Swedish and his father is American.
banter
It’s because most Scandinavians are very educated and have perfect English accent and grammar
Brilliant Video Dan!! Absolutely Love The Advice & Content been watching from the early days!! Keep it up Dan!
Congratulations for 200K subs!!! Love watching your trip reports.
Big ups to you on the 200K subscribers! Excellent channel and I look forward to your videos. We are lucky to have you from Sweden..... Their loss, our gain! 😋
CONGRATS on 200K SUBS!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You have been such an inspirational and this year I flew on business class on Qatar Airways for the first time!
You deserve a million sub, one of few honest youtuber
Love that you are here to share experiences and not make money
Thanks for these tips, I found it very helpful.
Congrats on over 200k subs, that's awesome!
You are so likeable and your reviews are fantastic 😀
Very interesting videos Dan. Ive never been on a plane in my life as ive never been abroad for work or holiday. Unfortunately i live in one of the poorest areas of Wales were few have any disposable income, but this year i applied for my very first passport with a view to studying or working abroad. Thanks to your channel i will have some idea about flying before i get round to it ☺
UPDATE?
OMG congrats on 200 k I’ve been watching your videos since 1000 subscribers you’ve gone so far
Hi Dan - just discovered your channel a few weeks ago and I absolutely love what you're doing! Would love to hear more tips on how to accrue mileage and the best specials. You are the amazing!!
Congrats man! I subbed because I enjoy your content, but I I'm *glad* I subbed because you seem really genuine and nice. Thanks :)
Yes!! You give such a refreshing and polished take on flight travel! Congrats on 200K 🎉
nice dan keep up the work you make awesome vlogs congrats on the 200K!!
Congratulations! Always great quality content. Keep up the great work :-)
Once again, what a great video!
Well done on your 200k subscribers 👍👍. Thanks for the info.
"I knew I had the passion for flying premium"
Great video Dan and congrats on 200,000 subscribers. Credit cards, if managed right, are a god send for traveling. I’m not nearly at the level you are at but because of credit cards I’ve flown business class on AA around 10 times. Would not have been able to do this with out points. Earn and burn lol. Keep up the great work.
Congratulations on 200k!!! ❤️❤️
So glad your channel is growing even more! ♥️
You are my favorite RUclipsr and you will continue to be my favorite
Keep doing what you’re doing😀😀
You're like the Shane Dawson of aviation bloggers, keep changing it (your content) up man proud of you
This is one of the best compliments anyone has given me! THANK YOU!!
Lol I didn't know a little relation of you to Shane Dawson thought up by me in 5 seconds was one of the best compliments, I think you've received better than mine? Anyway thanks for hearting and saying that :D
@@NonstopDan lol not a very good compliment now
This did not age well
Congrats for the 200K 😊 you fully deserve it
I’m thinking about starting to get into the credit card game. Unfortunately I don’t have much of a credit score so I’ll need to start with the secured card first. Fortunately I spend a lot monthly on flight school so I can easily hit the minimum spend on most of the cards. Thanks for the video! Really great info. I’ve watched a lot of these videos and this explained it perfectly!
Congrats on the 200k subscribers! Interesting video. Although outside of the US (where I live) this is much, much more difficult
Congratulations on 200,000 thanks for the great content.
Congrats for getting 200,000. Love the videos you do Dan. Keep it up and hope to see you in Ottawa.
Love your videos bro! Thanks so much!
What about annual fees? Some are rather high. And do you cancel the cards after the first year to save the fee? That would reflect negatively on your FICA score, no?
The annual charges are insane, it is the only thing stopping me from getting a credit card.
I keep most of my cards past the first year - usually you can call and they’ll waive the fee or give you some free miles. Without calling to waive, I’d pay about $800 per year in annual fees, but many of the perks make up for it!
Did you just reply in a minute? Am I dreaming?
Is this 800$ annual per year is per credit card or many cards. If so how many cards
Chaitanya Thekkunja The charges on many of these cards are high and I myself pay roughly $1000 on card fees. Many of my cards are those that Dan has while some are not. I would agree that the perks mostly make up for it but other than that. I don’t fly nearly as much as Dan does in a year but I can gladly say the amount of flying that I do “up front” on miles and the money that I save beyond well offsets the cost of the combines annual fees.
Unreal!! Keep the tips coming :)
Thanks for the tip ;) PS congrats for the 200K !
"I had a passion for flying in premium cabins"
Congratulations 🎉👏🎉👏 of being the top comment!!!! 😁😁😁
(As of now 😈😈)
Whoa! 200K!! Congrats!!!
This video is very well Made! Thank you for the amazing video and information! ✈️ ✈️✈️ (Btw, congratulations on 200k subs!)
Congratulations on 200K Dan! Always enjoy your vids. Are you ever planning to fly Air New Zealand? I love them they are my favourite airline!
Thank you and like I’m extremely inspired. This is so informative. I am planning to go to Norway for the December holidays to visit family. I also want to go farther north to see the Northern Lights. The credit card info very helpful. Does the SAS card also work through Norway? I will do research on all this helpful advice. So much advice!!! I just want to travel to Oslo in business class since I have such intense anxiety. Too bad when I fly in Norway domestic flights are like a small airbus. I get so claustrophobic. I found you when your Ethiad video popped up in my feed and I realized then that if a young man can do this, I have to subscribe and learn from you. Looking forward to more info on how to do travel with style and comfort. I need to watch this over and over and get everything figured out. Thanks so much.
Congrats on 200K!!!!
I love this channel. Every time, when a new video comes out, I enjoy your flight experiences. As far as your 18 credit cards are concerned, you also have the costs. Probably a lot cheaper in the US than in Holland. The large number of free miles you get are not available here, well, maybe 2500 mls. Since 5 years I live in the Philippines and the same story as in Holland. Fortunately, here we have Air Asia, a kind of bus company, but then in the air. Forget the luxury, but as an example, a return flight MNL - KUL, a 4 hour flight, for 95 euros incl. meals. So there's enough money left to spend on the spot.
Thanks for your hints at traveling 1st or business class. What you say about credit card usage is "Gaming the system". As you suggest, being very organised is essential with this many credit cards.The down side is that most credit card companies have monthly fees .. With 18 credit cards does this not cost you a fair drain on your budget? Also, entering into a credit card company relationship increases your risk of exposure to a greater invasion of your privacy. Is that something that concerns you??
I dod find that to be a glaring omission. Many cards have annual fees upwards up $250 CAD, which would be enough to obliterate most monthly budgets if they are all coming up at once.
Maybe if your annual fees are spread out across the year, it’s more manageable, but still, seems something is missing here.
but I love your travel reports and always look forward to watching them
Aww, bless you... Hope your channel continues to grow...
Congratulations Dan, all the best from Germany.
Please don't go out and get 18 credit cars unless you can pay the balance in full every month. Even with reward points, cc are typically a bad deal. These CC must be paying these guys to advertise them, or they get a kickback for referring. So please, don't go around opening these cards. They are in no way a sound financial decision.
Absolutely, to good to be true
Congratulations on reaching a milestone!
Thank you For finally explaining how you do it now it makes sense how you keep travelling in them classes.
You are such a honest RUclipsr, you told everything and share your tricks from the bottom of your heart, didn't hide anything. Very impressed. Literally you gave your whole aviation experience in this video. Good luck from me👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
And now you are 300k plus my friend.
Gap Year after Highschool and travelling full time.... Bruh....I had two weeks off and had to do an internship to go to university.
Philipp Gampe You didn't have to start University right away, a gap year is something you choose yourself, not something mandatory
prettylittleravenna I know it's not mandatory 🙄
If someone has the chance to do it, they are in a fortunate position. I wasn't that fortunate.
Philipp Gampe I get it. Where I come from there are a lot of people who do it and live off of their parents while on a gap year. But there are also people who work during that time, which I think is more acceptable /achievable for most of us without well off parents. College is not fun either way, so I'm glad I didn't take a gap year, that way I got it over with faster.
Your videos are so amazing and they are so entertained. Could you make some video of TG 961 or 960 BKK- ARN or ARN- BKK?
I would like to see you interview the caterers for each airline to show how they design and prepare the menus for their flights.Good food and drink are essential for the overall enjoyment of a flight.If the interviews come out well then maybe we will see you on TV aswell as You Tube.
On netflix, there's a documentary named "Mega Food" where it shows singapore airlines caterer and how they prepare along with the process of making the food and preparing for the flights. Check it out when you can!
Thank you for your thorough, useful and clear advise Dan. I appreciate how humble and honest you are about your lifestyle, and trying to help your viewers have their own little taste of it.
Come say hi if ever in Japan :)
🎉🎉. Well done and well deserved. I'm expecting great things from you. Impressive presentation always. 👌
Hey Dan love your videos, i wish you the best In everything 😃😃
CONGRATULATIONS! im sorry im late i did not get notified but u definitely deserve this time for 1ML (this is the first or second time i commented on ur vid im new!)
Looking forward to you hitting a million!
Thank you too! You are amazing and entertaining xxx Helen from the island of Kefalonia, Greece!
Congrats on 200k. Good luck on 300k
"Quite old" at nineteen? LMAO!
My mom started doing this years ago, she only has one card, but she does most of her purchases on her United airlines card, in her case she was also helped by the fact that she had to travel a lot for her job, but got to keep all her points from business travel, though it was scattered across multiple carriers. So she has been able to get flights for little to nothing, and even a few business class upgrades. She is now retired, but still uses her United airlines card.
There you go because, it seems you have to spend a lot money to travel
You worth the subscribers! You are amazing!!! You make so i can see so much that i want to see so i know who i would have a dream to fly with.
Du är min förebild!
(Make a review of Bra Airlines)
You are my favorite flight reviewer... I pretty much only watch flight reviews on youtube.
Great video overall. Lots of nice information. Thank you.
And around 6 minute mark some freakish video processing thingy happens to your pupils. And your eyes turn into spawns of the devil. It is kinda neat and scary at the same time.
Congrats 💖
Congratulations for reaching 200k
Well done keep it up!
You deserve more than million subs. Keep it up! ❤❤❤
You're my inspiration Dan!
Congrats on 200K
Nice blog Dan. Which card/s are good for lounge access?
Thanks
Lee
Congrats on 200K! Also, love the short segment with your boyfriend (not sure if he's spelled with a k or c)!
Dude congratulations. Well done man. Keep it up. Can you please fly Bangladesh biman nonstop from LHR to Dhaka.
congrats on 200k :)
Well played! Small pieces of plastic? Small pieces of luxury :) FAT GG TO U GETING 200K :)
also a question, do you have any chase cards like the British airways or United or sapphire cards? I'd recommend these
I really applaud your emphasis on financial responsibility! Congratulations on 200k.
Thanks for the video Dan! I have a question: at 10:55 , what’s the difference between a secured card and the credit cards? Is a secure card like a debit or prepaid card?
congratulations on 200K
Dan I have one question, how do you manage to reach the minimum spending requirement for all these sign up bonuses with a low income
LOOOL. Good point!!!!!! I think his parents help with the minimum spending. Maybe he pays his college tuition with the card? LOL.
@@semsemeini7905 There are ways to literally pay every bill, even for AMEX cards.and then pay it all up using cash or other cards.
@@semsemeini7905 Pretty sure he studied in Sweden? All levels of education are free here and we even get paid around $300 per month to study lol
Brilliant advice & many thanks , I’m sharing so the world become available to everyone First Class or Business .
Et j'aime vraiment tous vos blogs de voyage. Merci.
.
Excellent content! Thank you!
no problem your awesome that's why you got 200k
Q: Once you have used up the initial signup bonus miles for a credit card, does that credit card then fall into non-use, that is, do you allow it to go dormant and you then simply just sign up for more cards to get more sign-up bonuses, etc? Thank you!
I love the work u do
Very good summary of how to actually get miles through credit cards! I wrote a bit on how to earn miles in Dubai, now moved to China and started to investigate what the possibilities are here :-) Have fun flying and keep up the good work.
Just joined . Subscribed. From Ireland enjoying your videos . Going threw them all
Hi Dan, Thanks so much for these amazing videos!! Do you have any info about how to collect points/miles in the UK?? From my initial research it seems like there isn’t much I can do here ..
Congrats man
