@@TheMacMaster who loves buttman I do
Thank you Lee, I do love your flight vids. You know exactly what to film, and edit and it's like I was there travelling with you!
I flew to Vegas with KLM from Amsterdam in June. Flight in business class was relaxing and comfortable. Will do it again next year.
Paid around £300 each return in October 2018, Virgin Gatwick-Vegas on the old 747s.
I remember as a kid my dad who was a wagon driver took me down to London in his lorry (1970s) we had relatives down there we stopped with them overnight. As a treat they took me and me dad too Heathrow to watch the aircraft taking off and landing it was brill. Never been to London ever again.
Hey Lee, I watch all your vids. I used to work at RR testing engines. They lift the engine cowlings to add oil, check mcd's (magnetic chip detectors) etc. The cowlings are a snug fit so a little pressure is required to allow for the four or five securing clips to be latched. It did look a little unprofessional doing it with his feat but it works!! He's probably done it a thousand times before. Have a good time in Vegas. Cheers, Geoff from Derby.
Great video as always. Love watching landing into another city. All the best from Australia 🇦🇺
Airport footage is amazing mate 💯
We went to Vegas 16 years ago on our honeymoon and flew with Virgin. My husband LOVES being late, but this time made sure we were very early. Arrived at the check in desk to be told we almost missed check in by 10 minutes! Because virgin liked to print the wrong times on the information sheets x
Thanks so much, Mac! Thoroughly enjoyed this video, and felt like we were right there with you. Great filming and editing, that has to be a chore. I'm with you on the cost for Virgin economy, far too much for 10 hrs round trip of general discomfort and so few bathrooms. But hey, gotta get there somehow, love your channel, keep up the good work!
Really enjoyed this video. Looking forward to your time in Vegas - Onwards my friends !
I absolutely love your videos. So entertaining and informative. You always make it fun too! I was at Heathrow last month when I flew to Sweden. Keep up the great work. Thank you 🙏
Great video Lee, been following you since your Benidorm Travels started
That whiskey 🥃 in the duty free is now worth more than your Porsche Taycan ! 😂
Hi Lee love your videos even my 7 year old daughter loves watching your videos keep them coming nothing better than seeing what you are up to
What a great video! Have been looking for something like this for years... after many trips to LV it's great to have something to watch again and again to keep us going between trips. Pleased the flight went well although no idea how it cost you that much! Thank you for your hard work :-)
Just seems like your on a jolly, paid for by the sponsor, wish I had a job like this Lee
LOL, If you saw the reality of filming ever minute of your life and sat up editing all night, maybe not. x
Hey Lee, as an avid aviation buff myself can I give you some advice on filming planes. Your shots of planes overhead and close to landing are quite good, but for the love of Pete when a plane is spooling up its engines and begining its takeoff roll, film the whole takeoff. I'd rather see a few really good complete takeoffs than a dozen short clips of planes beginning their takeoff roll.
You picked the hottest time of year to go there. I hope you are coping ok with the heat Enjoyed the video, fantastic as always, giving us mere mortals a chance to travel with you without leaving the country. Have a good time !
I could do about 8 return trips to America for that price! Your flights to Perth were cheaper than that. You should try Norse Atlantic Airways. I’m flying them direct from London Gatwick to Las Vegas on the Dreamliner for £218 return. That doesn’t include meals, seat selection or bags etc but it’s still a bargain. Great airline from my experience, good inflight entertainment. Their inaugural flight to Las Vegas is starting very soon. They are also going to start a service from Gatwick to Cape Town. You can usually get a free window seat if you ask the check-in agent nicely. I’m also doing London to Los Angeles for £225 return and Oslo to Bangkok for £190 return with them. You should give them a try. You seem to fly Virgin Atlantic all the time even though they are overpriced and pretty mediocre 😂 Would be fantastic to see you fly Norse and British Airways
Brilliant video Lee,I enjoyed every minute,thanks for taking me along ❤
19:00 Every time you say "iced coffee" I shiver. Not with cold, but disgust at how anybody can drink cold coffee.
@@SuperLittleTykeI love buttmaster
6-4 in those economy seats got to give you a bit of respect for that
On your flight back, keep an eye out for Janet Air or just Janet as it’s know. It will be a white bodied aircraft with a red band down the sides of it over the windows, with no markings no name. This airline flys employees of Special Access Program Facilities (SAPF) and fly them to DOD facilities. The flights from Harry Reid will mainly fly to Groom lake/Homey AKA Area 51. That will keep Geoff the conspiracist, sorry Geoff buys cars interested 😂
when we drove out of Vegas one year thee was a giant temperature guage in the middle of a deserted piece of land, it was flashing at 124 degrees Farenheit, wowee, even hotter in Death Valley/Furnace Creeek.
Great video lee , i noticed more detail on this than you normally do, felt like i was there our kid! 🙂onward my friend.
Thank you. Really worked hard in this one. 👍🏼
Lee with all the flying you do around the world surely you must be in a frequent flyer clubs. Save those points up for an upgrade for when you travel long distances. Or do what i do with Virgin if you can in the UK. Pick a window seat and check seating every few days. If people sit next to you pick another seat that's empty. Usually 2 days before check in they usually release all unsold seats forward of the wings. No cost for an up grade and get a window seat up the front and free🤔🤔🇦🇺🦘🪃🇦🇺🦘🪃 That's if you book through the app.
Great vlog mate, looking forward to the rest 🇺🇲🤙
As ever Lee another great watch thanks…Good memories of the doing Vegas in 2019 with Virgin on the 747! And a no from me re dimmed windows!
I really enjoyed watching this video of your flight to Vegas! I was like a proper movie 👍 Very enjoyable and relaxing with some great views out of the airplane window! 🙂 Looking forward to see that happens on the next 10 days in Vegas 😀💲💯✨
Hi Lee, bit late catching up on your videos been so busy with life!
You don’t realise how huge those planes are until you see all the vans parked up next to it.
Keep up the great work
The music choices on these videos are so chilaxing. I’m so excited that you’re going to my home away from home. I love Vegas. I prefer to go in late October to catch the Halloween shenanigans in Downtown. I prefer the Luxor which is across the road from New York New York. There is Definately more to Vegas than just gambling out there. Have fun. 💃🏾
£105 for a bottle of 18 year old Jameson?
For that price I'd be wanting a new one!
sorry mate that was eighteen year old James...not jameson
Whether your in Morocco, Kenya, Turkey etc you will always find Toblerone and M and Ms at prices that are at least twice what they are in ASDA. Another trick is to have the price in U.S Dollars, even if the majority of flights are returning to Europe, they don’t miss a trick.
Great views of the clouds Lee. Especially when the sun was getting lower. Have a great time, looking forward to the next vid.
Brilliant video.... I've subscribed. ❤
We stayed at the New York New York hotel and they charge for parking and the resort fee. It’s just a way to get all your money ! Do check out the swatch shop in the hotel. They get regular deliveries of all the special swatches
It's still fascinating to see something the size of a small building moving in the sky.
I enjoyed the video.
I always think the flight into Las Vegas is one of the most stunning in the world. There is absolutely nothing all around then there it is !!
Ahh Vegas baby! Cant wait to get stateside again Lee.
Wings clipped at the moment as still waiting for double hip replacement op!😞
Been waiting since just before COVID started but now my mobility is so bad im stuck at home! What a bummer, used to use your reviews as a trip planner but now you are my eyes on the world. Cant wait to see what you've got lined up for us! ONWARDS MY FRIEND!👍👏👏👏♥️
You had your leg lifted there Mr M. Two weeks ago two off my American friends flew Virgin from Washington Dulles to Heathrow return for £3800, that’s for both..FIRST CLASS! Good job your ads are paying…😉
Hi Lee,loved your video.
Personally wouldn’t be bothered about windows being darkened is what it is main thing is to get to your destination safely.
Best feeling in the world when plane lands safely know arrived at your holiday destination thanks for sharing 👍
In fact your travel videos inspired me travel abroad for first time solo going to Tenerife hope I get& my luggage gets on right plane!
Some fantastic footage of desert coming into Las Vegas know had a great time there👍
Enjoyed the vlog pal 👍 10hrs in that seat wow. Have a great time 👍
He must have pressure sores on his haemorrhoids by now!
😂😂😂😂
Hi Lee hope you have a safe flight ✈️. And enjoy Las Vegas Love your vlogs ❤️😊
Didn't think the cost was that bad considering it's August. Enjoyed the video.
@@colindarroch4022 what about buttman
Booked 9 nights from Dublin next may, staying at the Westgate hotel, £850 , no resort fee
Banging price
Some nice footage as you were getting near to LV. Enjoy the trip 👍🍺
I went to Vegas 20 years ago paid £479 for flights including hotel (Imperial Palace) on the strip. Don’t think I’ll ever be going back with those prices.
great vlog lee
Thanks lee for taking us on your overseas trips Shane in Sydney 🦘🇦🇺
Thank You Lee, i enjoyed the flight and the scenery, with the wonderful editing on your behalf, also the relaxing music..I look forward to tomorrows surprises. Take care in Vegas 🤔 Au
Thanks Rob.
Every 90 seconds a plane lands at heathrow, u can usually see 3 or 4 planes behind the one landing.
@@karlsmith25 buttmaster is the best 😀
Smashing video Lee, keep safe over there, looking forward to seeing the next video.
We are also flying virgin but via Virgin Holidays. Cost £2100 for 2 of us in Economy Delight (includes Heathrow lounge) AND a week in the Luxor. And that is Labor Day weekend!
That's not bad. I paid 1k back in 2006 for 5 nights at the Luxor through Virgin holidays.
We’re flying to Vegas with Virgin in December. Looking forward to seeing your adventures in Sin City!
Great travel video, Lee. Check out all the sites like the new dome where U2 performed, etc. I look forward too seeing more videos of your Las Vegas adventures.
Lee I really enjoyed this Journey as I do all your others, Flying over Rock Springs and taking a pic at the 1 hour 6 minute made my day, that's the little airport we flew into in January 1976 when my family emigrated to the states, cold as hell in winter, we lived in that area until 1994, I grew up not far from you, my wife is from Woodhouse, in fact quite a few mining families moved from the Mansfield area to Green River/Rock Springs Wyoming at that time.
When I hit Vegas its always culture shock for me, no matter were you come from its full on like no other place, when we first went to Vegas you could get a decent room in a casino for $20 a night, a breakfast was just a few bucks, how things have changed, Enjoy yourself, we will be watching, Id love to see Martin join you again.
The Resort Fees Suck, I think the airlines started this add on fees crap, now everybody has jumped on greed bandwagon, the Casino's started to charge parking fees, that was dropped after a while, the resort fees are here to stay, they've got us by the short n curlies.
Hi Lee, enjoyed the video and looking forward to your upcoming ones in Vegas👍👍
24 minutes in and really enjoying the vid. Even better now you stopping at new york new york. That's where I'm staying come April. Perfect video for me to watch
The positive is that VPN paid for it, have a great trip. Hope Andrea & I get to meet you in Blackpool one day.
Landing at Las Vegas was Wild! they had a wicked crosswind , it actually shifted the plane sideways as we touched down!
Virgin Atlantic boardroom:
"It's obvious that people who go to Las Vegas during the school holidays are wealthy enough to fritter money away on gambling, overpriced hotels, overpriced entertainment etc so shall we increase August prices by 10%, 20% or 25%?"
All the board members: "25%!"
I visited Calke Abbey last week and it is quite close to East Midlands Airport and walking around the grounds hearing planes roaring it is a cool experience. I do even joke about it sounding similar to a pipe organ i played a few years ago making it roar and deafening the vicar lol.
Enjoyed this in fact you have changed my gym routine tonight 😅 just cycled and rowed so i could watch ! Enjoy Vegas
Ridiculous prices for airfares during summer holidays. I'm travelling to Vegas in November, return for £812 in Premium and that includes seat selection.
Enjoyvthe trip, looking forward to all the vlogs. 👍
Hi Lee, You were travelling in a Boeing 787-9 Dreamliner. If you go to the Excalibur Hotel they do a Medieval Evening with Knights on horseback etc, a good evening with food thrown in as well. Have a great time.
Jason Statham born in Shirebrook Derbyshire actually grew up in my hometown of Great Yarmouth where he lived with parents and went to school here too. Ten hour flight that’s nothing for you Lee after your twenty one hour flight to Perth earlier in the year. Love Vegas was last there in 2004. What happens in Vegas NEVER stays in Vegas🤣🤣
Have a brilliant time, Lee,get some good vlogs,your aussie one's were amazing
You're right Lee, the west coast of Ireland is amazing. In fact you flew over Co. Mayo where I grew up !
£1600 is a ridiculous amount just for flights. You could have had a week from September 1 if you booked a Virgin Package and stayed at the Virgin Curio by Hilton for £1154. There is also no resort fee because it is a Virgin package. I am going for 9 nights from Manchester on September 4 and it cost me £2748 for both of us. That is £1374 each. That is also with a room upgrade.
Beats a trip in the milk float. A mile of road will take you a mile, a mile of runway will take you ANYWHERE!
Superb footage and editing Lee (as usual) 😅👍👍
I take the bus from the premier inn for £1.75, takes about 15 minutes. Vegas flights are expensive, any flights are expensive the closer you book to departure
We came back to the uk 2 days ago, was in nyny the same time as you...crazy as we were looking out for the usual vegas vloggers, wish we knew you were there the same time as us...gutted...if you can, try the flyover vegas, right by the coke cola store...it was brilliant! Xxx
£1600 thats crazy. I paid £1700(excluding resort fee) for 4 nights in ceasors palace and 2 nights at circa with BA
Loved this Lee. Thankyou so so much !❤😊
I recently tried to book a flight 3 weeks out. Shows up at reasonable fare for two way trip. But then, there is no return that does not increase the fare substantially except for a two stop overnight with a 4 hour layover. Then, I find that only 1/3 of the seats are available without charge and they are all taken. By the time I am through, the initial cost has more than doubled. I didn't go. What a scam! Just booked another 5 weeks out that was not quite as bad, but still quite a bit over the initially quoted cost.
All the hidden fees add up.
I am starting to watch again.. love your travel vlogs.and i have been in Vegas too.. brings me back to good memories
Don't miss Crown and Anchor british pub. All you can eat Fish and Chips Monday night from 5pm.
I'll come on the next one,
I promise to keep my politics in the UK (ish) 👑
Great window view btw
Yipee!!! Now I can see Vegas without actually going. Thanks Lee ❤❤❤
Final comment: very interesting. The mountains and crags coming into Vegas are overwhelming. I could see a road on top of one very high point. I don't mind the self-darkening windows. I'm actually more interested in the technology that makes it happen.
Mum and I absolutely enjoyed watching all your plane footage at Heathrow! I could watch planes come and go all day! ✈️ (I actually do that for fun at the end of the runway in Brisbane but it’s nowhere near as busy as Heathrow 😂) We give you two 👍👍
Check out Big Jet Tv . Jerry is a master at filming planes. Heathrow and overseas.
Many many years ago went to USA by Laker for £25.00 Do you remember Freddy?
@@elvyn123 I went to Spain on freddie laker sky trains. DC 10 Flying coffins as emergency doors came off a few mid flight😳
I believe it was the cargo hatch door caused the crash of the Turkish Airlines DC10
@@elvyn123 Yea! I remember him, Bohemian Rhapsody, Love Kills an all that. Great singer.
I am sure you can go from Manchester with Virgin Atlantic to the USA :)
Addressing the flight cost, you can start with the airport employee sitting on his keister looking at his phone while some kind of generator is hooked to the plane.
Loving this mate
Hey Lee. Loved the travel day vlog as always. Nobody does ‘em better. Quick recommendation while you’re there. Try the revolving restaurant on top of the Stratosphere Hotel. It’s pretty reasonable to be honest & the views are something else. Just a thought & something a bit different. Look forward to the series 👍
The man with the little stick on pushback at Heathrow... just in case you can't see the airplane 🤣🤣
@@GES196 would you like to dance with the buttmaster aka buttman.i like to do the buttman oh yeah😃
Enjoyed that one Lee. Especially the footage of the planes landing at Heathrow, as I am a bit of a plane geek. The prices everywhere are getting totally out of hand .
Been to Vegas many times. Just love it. Hope you get to see a show while there. I stayed at the Venetian most times, although I've stayed in Bellagio as well. I'm really going to enjoy watching your adventures there.
Wishing you all the best with your travels here in the USA! 🤷🤷🤷
Safe travel, Lee.
Hi Lee lookung forward to this new US series ❤ We got back from our first trip to Benidorm a couple days ago. Did 10 night's and met the lovely Lucy from Benidorm Stuff. We had a lovely meal at Cafe India and spoke to the nice Scottish owner but he didnt accept magic beans for our meal 😅.
We also did Marianos on our daughter's 11th Birthday and enjoyed the chicken!!
Great video Lee, really enjoyed it. I would love to go to Vegas, in fact anywhere in America, your very lucky.
I watch Big Jet tv . Really glad you are off on a trip again McMaster!
Great vlog Lee and looking forward to the latest Vegas series. You probably know its 7 quid just to drop off at LBA now so Heathrow wasn't too bad.
You cannot remember what you actually paid...?????? I very much doubt that..!!!!!!!!!!
I payed between 150-300 pounds for a trip last month.

In your opinion is a better flight to las vegas virgin or british airways ?
Hi Lee, Vegas will be exciting, enjoy your trips, it feels like I am on holiday with you
