My name is Matt Marcotte and I have the joy of exploring and going on adventures. On this channel, you will see a variety of airplanes and airlines, this will give you an idea of who provides the best service. I will also be going on trains and cruises too! Also, I will share my thoughts on the airports and train stations that I visit.
I will also be staying at different lodgings, so you will get to see great views and home tours, if you like a certain one, you may like to stay there too. Sometimes it can be hard to choose a hotel or airbnb from pictures, but when you see a video and an honest review that helps a lot.
I will try to share some advice and tips so you can have smoother travels, no matter if it is by plane, train, bus or boat. The videos on this channel will be fun, enjoyable and informative too, I will be going across the USA but also to other countries too, so make sure you’re subscribed and let’s enjoy this journey together.
Just a small correction... there are no communal bathrooms in viewliner 1 sleepers. In the newer viewliner II sleepers there are no toilets in the rooms (thankfully) but there are communal restrooms
Im flying the end of Oct and have been concerned about the comfort in PE. I booked the emergency exit two seats because im claustrophobic. Thanks for your video, great job. One question, how were the restrooms mid flight to the end? I hate nasty bathrooms. Lol
You can keep headphones or earpeices. If they state so. Economy earpeices can be kept depending on whag SIA gives you. Oh yeah its not chang-ee its actually Chan- e
Matt. The cure for sea sickness is - Drive the boat. Not this boat but rent a boat and drive it. wires your brain is it understands the motion is directed by you. I had the seasick issue my whole life but because I loved scuba diving I still got on the boat...and got sick. Then I bought a used boat because I was living in Cape Coral on a Gulf Access canal and I never got sick and never got sick as a passenger on other boats. It works.
Nice video. I will be doing BA First Class from MIA to LHR. I did the same route on AA last year on the 777. I flew BA First from ORD to LHR three years ago on a 747. I was not impressed. Neither of those flights hold a candle to Qatar's A380 First Class. Yes, the champagne will get to you. I am glad that you had an awesome time.
You can't compare First Class in a noisy 747 or 777 with First Class in a super quiet and comfy A380. The A380 makes the difference , in all classes. And First Class in a BA A380 offers more privacy than Qatar First Class in a A380. By the way, BA will upgrade First and Business class to new seats in all its A380s.
Why on earth are you wearing your hat back to front is it because you think it makes you look cool 1 Do you wear your jeans back to front If you do i bet people don't know if you're coming or going
Oh darn! Another commenter that doesn’t like a backwards hat. Trust me there’s plenty awesome creators that wear them. Sorry it bothers you. I bet we could find issues with you. Thank you for watching. Cheers!
I'm planning to do the northern half of the Alaska Milk Run in July. I love Alaska in the summer with all of the vivid colors and very long, sunny day times!
@@irenemaitland9318 gracious where they are the ones who directly benefited from slavery and up to today they are still looting African resources in the name of "common wealth" even their crown is decorated with diamond stolen from South Africa.
Up and coming channel. Very enjoyable watch and didn't even realize it was 32 minutes long. Thanks for taking this flight and documenting it for all of us interested at home
Great video. My first helicopter ride was on an RAF Sea King, Air Sea Rescue helicopter in 1979. With the side door open and the aircraft flying on its side, strapped in but almost hanging out. It was incredible.
I flew Silver on business back when they flew Saab 340’s instead. The ATR’s look like a nice upgrade. The AC in the Saab was barely functional and the ride was hot and loud. Glad to see the airline is still chugging along though. They fill a niche.
It is too bad that no major US airline ever acquired the A380. It might fly into some airports within the United States on whatever foreign airlines operate it. There are now only 3 major US airlines left, American, Delta, and United Airlines. Other former major US Airlines, like Eastern, Northwest Orient, and TWA, no longer exist. Eastern Airlines went belly up, and closed up shop in 1991. Northwest Orient got bought out by Delta, and TWA got bought out by American Airlines. All these airlines did have the 747's in their fleet, but they have all now retired the 747. The 747 and the A380 were the only double decker aircraft ever produced. The 747's upper deck only took up the first 1/3 of the aircraft, but the A380, both levels took up the entire length of the aircraft. Both aircraft are now out of production, so obviously the 3 remaining major US airlines will never acquire the A380. The 777, or as some call it, the Triple 7, has now replaced the 747 for most of the airlines that operated it. The Triple 7 is a pretty good sized plane that can accommodate between 300 and 400 passengers, but us about 20 feet shorter than the 747 was, and has no upper deck. The only other aircraft ever produced that was bigger than the 747 and the A380 was the Lockheed C-5A, but that one was only a military transport aircraft, and never an airliner.
Favorite plane growing up is cliche but the queen of the skies. I did also love all 4 engine planes starting with the C-130. I grew up all around the world on military bases
CEO for new pacific is trash. Guy doesn’t know what the f**k he is doing. We have 3 planes which 1 was being hold hostage because company couldn’t pay for the repairs after it was done, we got kicked out of Ontario double tree for the company not paying the bill, one of our flight attendants was accused of sexual harassment 3 times, a coworker and two hotel guest were assaulted and a police report on him and he still working for the company. Can’t keep a flight attendant director of management in place because they all keep quoting because management and the CEO keeps asking us to break FAA regulations. We gave up on flying to Asia now and solely focused on charter flights now. 70% of the company was sold off to a company called Elevate Aviation, and tons of lay offs happened because the company doesn’t have money. The CEO had to borrow money from of the directors in the company to bail out a plane for maintenance. This company is a mess. Do not apply for this company. You’re better off applying for any other airline but this one.
Easily an 8 or 8.5. I’ve been on some less than comfy 16hr flights before. I know this is two hours longer but in premium economy was a solid 2nd place to the business class
You flew Delta and actually got off the tarmack in under 6 hours?? I've flown them twice. First time, they dropped a case of water on my head. (Who stores water in an overhead?) Second time, we sat on the runway over five hours while they worked on an engine. Got that fixed and the other engine went on the fritz. FINALLY they changed planes but, of course, the gate was on the OTHER side of Atlanta airport!
What would be more ironic would be if he took a city bus to the airport, then after going through TSA boarding a bus to the F gates just to board yet an “airbus” that’s actually another bus. And you only “flew” at only 70 mph.
Probably about a 1/2mi or 10-15 min walk. Depends on where on Duval. Not bad though. The ferry drops off right near the intersection of Caroline, Grimnell, and Mustin.
The A380 is my totally fav flying carpet in this day and age Matt. The enormity of it once on board is staggering. I have flown on BA's A380's 6 times now ( 5 times in First and once in CW upper cabin, on trips to Hong Kong, Jo Burg, & San Francisco ). Sadly BA don't have Cameras fitted so you can't watch what's happening because BA is run by miserable buggers more interested in £$ than fun. I took my Mum to the Maldives a few years ago ( because she's worth it! ) and flew with Emirates in Business Class, but all on 777's. The business class on Emirates was as good as BA First for sure.
Would love to do a trip with you Matt - all that plane spotting and airline banter. I binge-watched your series about the Faroe Islands - looked like a brilliant trip, but for me looked like a tad too much walking on dodgy ground, not that I wouldn't go, oh no, I would go in a shot and may well do some time as it's not too far from the UK. My next trip is in 3 months down to Santiago Chile for a week, can't wait to see the Andes.....................
