He really likes Airplanes.

So if I save someone's life in a plane, I'm an international hero?

I've been through the Dublin pre clearance before. The guards are Americans and they say welcome back which is funny since you're still in ireland.

"Hop on a flight and commit a crime" - Wendover Productions

That is some really bad advice by the end lol

"They can pass through the border as long as they dont stop" Car: *breaks down*

Shock. A Wendover productions video about planes! Not complaining!

I have found why Wendover Productions is obsessed with planes because there is a Wendover airport

Airplane Man strikes again

* Commits crime on a plane * "I just wanted to find out what country I'm in."

you sure love planes don't you

I went through the US customs in Dublin from Italy. The problem was our flight got delayed 12+ hours after we cleared customs. The terminal also just closed down the restaurants in there. So we couldn’t leave and had no food. They eventually let us leave the terminal, we just cleared customs when we got back to the US but there was a frustrating period of confusion.

Lots of Airplane related videos recently... nice

Great video. Just recently I had to fly out of Dublin. I remembered this video and was excited to experience the passport control center in Dublin. The only hitch? After we checked through customs, our flight got cancelled. So here were 200 passengers in a terminal that was basically US territory, and we all needed hotel rooms for the night, which were outside that terminal and technically Ireland. SO, we all had to re-check through Irish immigration, spend the night in a hotel, and come back to the airport the next day and re-check through US Passport Control. Crazy.

Did you just recommend committing a crime on air? Are you on an airplane?

Someone needs to go to Abu Dhabi airport and act super-gay.

you're a beast wendover, just keep it up. fascinating every time.

Me: I think they exist in every country with an airport, is this supposed to be a trick? Video: Me: Me: nvm I'm dumb

"heavily armed agents" **shows a picture of a agent with a handgun**

What if I'm gay on a US plane in Abu Dhabi before boarding a flight to England whilst eating a Croissant from France made by a Dutch baker?

Netherlands? Amsterdam. Hotel? Trivago. Austria? Anschluss.

Iran air has been my favorite airline since I was a little kid. I'm pretty amazed of how I could notice the Iran air plane in the background at 0:21

So what jurisdiction applies on the ISS ? Does it depend on what country you're from ? Or who built the part of the station you're in ?

Make a video about embassies. Like so he can see.

what is your connection to the Netherlands ? a lot of your videos are related to NL or Amsterdam or Schiphol

Which country r u in if you are in the international space station?

5:50 The first question that popped up in my heae was that they do get US Netflix or Canadian Netflix? 🤔

Some countries make you enter the country (with a stamp) even if you are in transit and don't leave the airport, such as Indonesia and United Arab Emirates.

This video, inspired by: Tom Hanks' movie Terminal

Me physically: I totally get this My brain: *Confused screaming*

Please make a video of how codesharing between airlines work!!!!!

The airport serving the 3rd largest city in Switzerland is actually in France. The traveler exiting the airport chooses wether to exit into France and the EU or Switzerland, which isn't in the EU. Once you pass through passport control, you exit onto the same sidewalk in front of the airport, which is in France, and in the EU. You can then take a Swiss bus (the only public transportation serving the airport) to the Swiss train station and then get a train to France or stay in Switzerland. I guess the Schengen makes this all possible, but it is very funny to enter Switzerland officially, but actually be in France the whole time.

i am a simple man, i see new WendoverProductions video, i watch

Hyder is de facto Canada then. The US should either do something to provide these people with services from their own country, or recognize the city as canadian. It must suck to live in such an awkward political situation.

(Hier is ie) G E K O L O N I S E E R D

That Hyder Alaska thing is very interesting - I feel like I learn more and more crazy things about the US/Canada border all the time!

I'm a simple dutchie. I see dutch flag, I like.

I'd like to add from my personal experience, that when I was during a flight from Europe to Asia over Iran, they announced that they stop serving alcohol as the low of the country below us doesn't allow it. After Iran, of course, we got back our wine.

After you go through customs and immigration preclearance in Dublin airport you can still buy things in shops or go for a pint in a bar etc. Do all those products sitting on a shelf in the shop need to be imported into the US, do they need to pay import tariffs on them? Do they need to meet different safety regulations? Is there VAT on the products which goes to the Irish exchequer or is it US sales tax. Aer Lingus (and probably other airlines) don't offer an in flight shopping service as you've already precleared US customs, yet they do when flying within the EU's customs union albeit not at duty free prices. Why is this? Was hoping you'd delve a tiny bit deeper into the preclearance topic. Please make another video.

the ones with large populations and big economies

I’m Irish and never knew that about Dublin airport, that’s so cool

THANK YOU for calling it 'The Netherlands' instead of 'Holland' that's just two provinces and a lot of people don't get that. You do and I'm thankful.

Dutch flag as thumbnail, I approve

Do the same episode but about space craft like the ISS

The guy's voice is so calm and soothing that if i watch a few wendover production's vids at night id accidentally fall a sleep omg

Suggestion for a future video: How do "phone trees" work?

That moment when your house is featured in a Wendover Production's video!

I was faced with this question when I was denied an alcoholic beverage as a 20 year old on a United flight between Germany and the US, even though I was used to legally drinking on Lufthansa flights on the same route since I was 16.

Yay, when it comes to plane related topics, you are my favorite youtuber!

Technically, he did not encourage you to commit a crime because his statement was "In the end, the only way to find out might just be to hop on a flight and commit a crime". No encouragement, just a true statement (nevermind the fact that it was a joke). You're welcome

I love videos that talk about technicalities

Hope this find you well! You are incorrect about Hyder. Please research The Lake of the Woods in Minnesota. Many pass through the USA without a visa or passport. All you need to do is sign in on a video camera. On the other hand, great video!!

Eurostar terminals also use the pre-clearance method. When entering the departures lounge at London St Pancras International station for the Eurostar, you pass through British passport control, then EU passport control. When boarding at Paris Gare du Nord, you pass through French then British passport control. When exiting the train at either end, you just walk out.

Damn Wendover, dont think you should have ended the video on that note. About commiting a crime on a plane

What did i just watch my brain is completly fucked now

In Honduras for shipment export clearance, there is a US customs facility clearing cargo.

Lockerbie terror attack was in 1988, not 1998 (07:39)...otherwise very nice piece ;-)

0:59 *man in the clock screams at his job*

Hop on a flight and commit a crime? Ok! Got it!

I've got a few doosies for you involving cruise ships. 1) You get on a cruise ship in Auckland, New Zealand, and go through passport control there. You visit several other New Zealand ports along the way before heading to Australia. You go through Australian passport control on the ship before you arrive in the first Australian port, but don't go through Australian customs until the end of the trip in Sydney. The ship is registered in Malta. When did you leave New Zealand and arrive in Australia? 2) You go on a central American cruise from the US visiting Mexico, Guatemala, Costa Rica, Panama and Colombia before returning to the US, all on a Malta registered ship. You get off and on in Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica, but you don't have to show your passport at any port, you just get off and on the ship and carry some government issued photo ID and the ship boarding card. However, you get off in Panama but miss the boat because of a tour returning back late. The ship crew finds your passport, delivers it landside prior to departing, and some immigration officials stamps the passport and processes an entry to Panama. You head to Colombia by plane (normal passport procedures). In Colombia, you have to go through other special passport procedures before reboarding the ship. When did you enter Panama, leave Colombia, and what about your visits to Mexico, Guatemala and Costa Rica? NOTE: The authorities do check passenger details including passport numbers etc behind the scenes.

Issue, youve just shown the great lakes as Canada's. Its actually split down the middle.

I am an Australian and travelling on air mauritius on way to Madagascar where i would get my visa and had a night and half day stopover in Mauritius. I was allowed to leave hotel and walk around Mauritius without a visa! I definitely was in Mauritius!

me and the bois after watching this video hopping on the plane to commit some criminal crimes

Please do more videos. I love these interesting videos, teaches me more in a shorter amount of time then schooling lol

Thanks for the advice at the end of the video, just booked my flight 🤗

Reminds me of Hong Kong SAR's West Kowloon railway station, which services HSR trains to & from mainland China/PRC. The tracks, station's platforms & waiting areas are legally considered part of mainland China/PRC, as both it & HK SAR have their border controls there. It caused a political controversy as it could increase the accessibility of the PRC's legal apparatus into HK, which was seen as undermining it's autonomy (probably especially after some HK booksellers retailing books critical of the PRC's leaders were secretly extradited from HK & Thailand). Questions were also raised over the ability to enforce border/immigration controls on passengers evacuating from trains in an emergency while travelling on tracks physically in HK

6:23 is technically incorrect, from the US Virgin Islands back to the mainland US you need a passport

The last one is simple. Even though I’m 10, I still know. Since the plane is Irish, people on the plane should have to follow Irish law. If someone does something illegal in Ireland on the plane, Ireland will convict them. But the arrest would be by the country the plane lands in.The trial would also take place in the country that it lands in, but they would have to cede the place where the trials are temporarily to Ireland.

2:07 The way I see it is that passing the preclearence facility doesn't mean you're in that country, it just means you have the right to enter that country even if ur still in another country

So basically we don't know?

I'm a Canadian and LOVE using US Pre-clearance at Canadian airports as it makes things so much easier. Upon arrival in Las Vegas, i get off the plane and get my gambling, drinking and partying on.

2:10 Wendover: "but here's where it get tricky". But I've been as lost from 0:00 as I would be in a math lecture.

Had a conversation the other day about jurisdiction on the high seas, which is just as complicated!

So what if youre an american traveling to France but give birth midway near Icelandic airspace. What now??

You *reeeeaaaaaallllllllly* like airplanes.

I'm amazed I figured out the thumbnail is the map of schiphol, not because of the flag, but the actual layout...

you always find interesting topics. this was amazing, thank you

when i saw my island aruba i was like they know who we are 😂

There is yet another exception for visiting the US without needing to show a passport. In fact, it's not even on the US side of the Atlantic. Near the village of Runnymede, Surrey, United Kingdom, is the place where the Magna Carta was signed. It's also the location of One American Acre. The location is a glorified memorial to the murdered 35th President of the United States, John F. Kennedy. It's not like the memorial is just simply placed there, the actual acre of land which includes the memorial to JFK is sovereign US territory. The memorial States that the acre of land it's located on was donated to the United States by the UK. This means that even though to fly across the Atlantic and visit the US in an immigration sense, British travellers need an ESTA, when arriving at this acre of land, you don't need to carry anything to enter it, the kissing gate at the entrance acts is the UK/US border

Not First!

From than to now you can see his improvements he has made keep up on the work

Sorry, no Irish airline flies from Paris to New York. :)

Very interesting video, thanks. One thing: at ~8 minute mark you've excluded the Shetland Isles from your delineation of Scotland. You've got the Orkneys & the Hebrides in there but poor old Shetlands gave been kicked out :-(!

Very useful information. Thanks a ton for sharing

If two men kiss each other in an Emirates flight heading to UAE, will they get arrested ?

My mum has a friend who lived in Lockerbie and she said parts of the plane landed in her Garden, as well as bodies.

3:21 “... that *trump* US law” Ba Dum tiss

Back in the Cold War, there was also the story of the East German (or Polish?) man who hijacked a plane to West Berlin to defect. Air treaties (and the country of origin) demanded he be prosecuted in the country where he landed, but West Berlin authorities didn't want to prosecute him. Eventually, since West Berlin's airport was in the old American sector (Berlin, though then run by Germans on each side, technically remained occupied till after reunification; East Berlin was the Russian sector while West Berlin was the American, British & French sectors), a special U.S. court had to be convened in West Berlin to try the hijacker. He was found guilty, but the American judge sentenced him to only a small fine -- no jail time.

love weird things like this and the date line in the pacific

Yust rename your channel ''air fettish'' alredy

6:48 wait is that lady watching thanos dance?

"Trump" US Laws!

Reads title : *confusion has entered the chat* Watches video : *confusion intensifies

Man I love your videos

I visited the UN headquarters in Geneva and I had to go through passport control when entering (but not when leaving).

One more great video from Wendover Productions!

Please make a video about " which country am I in while In a military base

Pre-Clearance in Dublin (when flying to the US) makes the trip infinitely better. I'm amazed other countries don't facilitate it. It takes about 15 minutes (less than 5 minutes if you're already on the system), whereas I've been stuck for 90 minutes in JFK numerous times. Furthermore, as you have to be in the airport 2-3 hours prior to an international flight, pre-clearance happens within that time, so it actually adds on no waiting whatsoever.

literally the most interesting channel on youtube
