16:13 - Sorry to sound like a bit of a nerd here but my 3 years of doing a degree in aviation pushed me to explain this. Basically the reason there is still an ash tray in the door of every bathroom on a plane is because people cannot be trusted, so if a person decides they would like to break the law and have a smoke in the bathroom, regardless of the fine, there still needs to be a safe place to dispose of the lighting cigarette because a person’s natural instinct would be to hide what they did wrong and ultimately throw it in the bin where there is tissue and other things that could potentially set on fire (even though there is a fire extinguisher in each bin). So if a fire extinguisher was to go off in the bin the flight would have to land and be refitted as it cannot fly without a fully functional fire extinguisher. So there you have it. Sorry about the book but love the topic of aviation. 👍🏻
I was thinking it had to be for the rule breakers instead of them trying to get it down the sink or flush it down the loo or as you said causing a fire by throwing it in the bin.
WhatALiberty It’s a simple as that indeed. Even though the toilet is a vacuum and should literally extinguish anything that needs oxygen it can still damage or clog piping. It was one of the most “that makes so much sense” moments throughout my time in college!
XB1 Grim Reaper Tom went to the Cayman Islands 3 years ago and met a guy named Ron on the flight there and they were together throughout the trip, legend
Tom can't say thank you enough for your vlogs and especially your travel vlogs you made me get myself a passport again and get out there. I used to travel a lot then i got this crazy irrational fear and it's stopped me for years but watching you made me fall in love with having a adventure again x 😍
Tom, just a suggestion, since you’re on planes a lot I would recommend that you get the AirPods pro they have a noise cancelling feature that I think would be very helpful
Calling it now. This is one of the best vlogs I have ever watched of yours Tom. I love travelling myself and I understand how much this means to you. And it’s phenomenal. Hope you have the experience of a lifetime.
18 seconds in and Ron’s watch is there. I remember Tom getting the watch and ever since I’ve been like when is he going back to the cayman island and the time has come Love the vlogs but the travel ones are by far the best ❤️ Also enjoy your holiday Tom
You are so so blessed but you deserve everything you have! You have worked so hard. Been watching you for long as I can remember and seeing you grow from what you were makes me so happy. We love you Tom
Tom’s travel vlogs really inspire me to go travelling! Hopefully one day I’ll be able to save up enough to do so, in the mean time will just have to enjoy Tom doing so :)) x
I’m happy that the trip came through after all and I can’t wait for the next week of vlogs 🤙🏼 keep up the awesome work, life’s to short make the most of it 💯
I watch all your vlogs but I really love the travel ones like this. I am 28 and up until 2 years ago I never had a passport, now because of your videos I have passport and travel 3 times a year and I am hooked. Best thing I have ever done. Thank you!
I’m a month behind from all of your videos but I’m catching up now. That moment when you realised that you’re in an amazing place and was thinking that you might not even make it, was so genuine. I love watching your videos because it inspires me that one day I want to be as successful as you.
Hey TOM! I just came back from cayman, from staying at my uncles. He lives on south sound. Something I would definitely suggest, is going on a jet ski safari. My friend Garry does it, near 7 mile beach it’s the yacht club. Amazing deal and so much to do! Definitely recommend doing stingray city if you’re going to do anything though (the jet ski-safari includes that)
My grandparents are in the caymans currently and they/ I would suggest getting the rum cakes at the airport right before you leave because they are bigger and you don’t have to worry about security.
Still not technically and thank god,been waiting forever Not like planes and boats are going to disappear worst case scenario you'll have to apply for a visa Oh the horror
It’s actually so crazy how much life changed since the last time I watched this vlog, and it hit me when he said he didn’t want to go to China/Japan... I looked at the date, feb 3rd 2020 wow Kobe died a few weeks ago and there was this news of a virus going around.... I came back for some nostalgia and happiness, look at the state of the world now man... wow😪I wanna be a kid again...
Mr K Bro Vlogs I hear you, live in a box room, single bed, bedside table and small wardrobe 😂 still manage to get all my painting and shooting kit in here and part in the garage 🙂
We had a few beers in Calico Jacks on 7 mile beach when we docked in George Town on our cruise recently. Cool place, nice vibes but damned 'spensive! Enjoy mate.
The reason they have the ash trays in plane toilets is so there is a safe place to extinguish a cigarette if someone does smoke. They have them to deter people from using the bins which have flammable tissues/items in them. Helps to prevent a fire on an airplane which is a big big risk (Ex airline crew here) :)
Not sure if your aware Tom but you can fill out the ESTA application online and it's good for two years and costs $14 US. So when you get to the port of entry you'll just get the 90 day one stapled into your passport
I really didn’t think I’ve been watching the vlogs for over 3 years until I saw this. I was either 15 or 16 when I started watching and now I’m about to be 21 that’s crazy
I would do almost anything for that type of trip, to see such beautiful stuff. I feel like the only thing that would make the trip even better in my case would be for my friends to come along, or at least one of them. But that view tho, it's amazing. Also, have you ever wondered what it's like to be able to fly? (Without the help of any technology. Flying with wings)
Hi Tom. The ashtrays on aircrafts are a mandatory item. If someone will fail to obey the rules, you need to have a place to extinguish the cigarette. That’s also why the wastebins are provided with fire extinguishers.
