El_Ectric yup that’s true. And going back to your point about the different plane crashes, I remember flying on Dc-10s and 737s when I was younger and everything was fine 😂
El_Ectric just thought about another incident that happened with a 767. The thrust reverser deployed in fight and everyone unfortunately died. After that the problem was corrected and the plane never had that type of accident again. And it has become one of my favorite planes next to the L-1011.
You help me relive the airline travel I enjoyed so much until about 2010. Now at 87, I could not walk from boarding area to the plane. Just binge watched your world tour. Well done! Thank you!

Don't tell me you travelled UNITED. I had a similar bad run from Melbourne Australia to San Francisco via Los Angeles and guess what. A small meal was served within half an hour o take off, and that was it mate. A 22 and a half hour flight with no tucker was a bit much. They never announced that a meal could be purchased from the cart. There was absolutely "sweet fanny adams" to eat and we had to ask for water or a drink. The same occurred on the return flight. One skungy meal and that was all you get. I have given United a BIG MISS ever since.
@Ben Jared, 25 years ago there were regulation regarding transoceanic flights, ETOPS was in it's primitive stages, the law was an aircraft had to have more than 2 engines to cross the Atlantic, I do miss those days of tried and reliable wide body's crossing the ocean. Now they want to put you on an Airbus 318 or a 737 hell no. If it's not a wide body aircraft that's taking me across the Atlantic, I'm not going.

Ghost Killzzz it’s not a Boeing design it was first put on the A320 years ago to prevent a stall or high AOA. Plus it’s in all airlines from dash 8s to A380s. So Boeing is not at its fault for the system since they just took the design from any Other jet. The airline is at the responsibility for maintaining its fleet. That’s how it is. And it’s also wierd that 2 of the crashes came out of third world countries that don’t have heavy protection and regulations for aviation. This whole thing is put on being because the airline is like trying to hide the fact they missed a fault an never gotten to fix it. Idc if it was proven by the ntsb that it was a faulty design. It’s been around for ages and is fixable by disconnecting the electric trim. The whole crash could have been avoided if they fixed the runaway trim. It’s in every aircraft with it. And the crash goes under the category of a runaway trim from a fault in the computer. And even a matience pilot went up in the max after the crash and seen the same issue. And all he did to stop it was disengage the Electric trim. It was poor execution on the pilots side for not trying to immediately figure out what’s wrong.
Messages reveal a top Boeing pilot knew about problems with the 737 Max's 'egregious' behavior before 2 deadly crashes Boeing 737 Max airplanes parked on Boeing property in Washington in September. The planes have not been delivered to airlines yet as they remain grounded after two fatal crashes. David Ryder/Getty Images Boeing's chief technical pilot on the 737 Max project told another employee in 2016 that there were "egregious" problems with the jet's automated anti-stall system, MCAS. The pilot, Mark Forkner, made those observations at least two years before the first of two deadly crashes involving the 737 Max, in October 2018 and March 2019. Boeing said it found the internal instant messages sent by Forkner "some months ago," And even leaving the MCAS system alone there are dozens of now obvious flaws with the plane A guy from boeing said that the plane was made by money hungry fools Overall boeing has got a complete beating and has ruined its reputation for ever and all deaths on the plane was directly beoings fault and dont those pilots didnt recieve the knowledge that mcas even existed on the plane let alone how to work with it boeing was selfish and momey hungry as they didnt want it to be a new type rating for the pilots as that would "cost them" this is an accurate representation of when people are just to momey hungry
I found you in the recommended section of TH-cam as I love watching flight reviews and subscribed to your channel. The way you put the report together is fab, it's enjoyable - keep it up :)
Great to see Norwegian get some spotlight. I'm personally a loyal Norwegian customer and they've never disappointed me since I first flew with them in 2010 (I mean it does help that Copenhagen is one of their hubs and that I'm from Copenhagen yadeeyadeeyadaa)
Thanks a lot for taking us with You on this journey! Will love to hear more from You going full-time. Enjoy quitting Your job! It’s an adventure for sure, but You’ll do great.
What a good ending to a fantastic series. Finding your channel has ignited my love of travel and has inspired me to fly as much as I can. Next time you're in Canada you should visit Edmonton, we have a great airport and I feel the city is a bit of a hidden gem.
Loves the views out of the the window Paul! Brings back memories of a visit to EDI a few years ago. I do quite like the 737 Max too! I hope to get on board one day...
I'm really liking your reviews, I love travelling (but don't have the money to do it frequently enough) so I like these review videos and yours are among the best. Informative, and not too long. Thank you!
That's my local airport. I had a flight out of there yesterday morning and it was 10 minutes to park my car, take the shuttle, drop off my bag, go through security, and walk to my gate. You simply can't beat that! The interior could use some love in a few spots, but it's also not like a major airport where you're spending hours there either.
Honestly I really love flying and I finally found a person who shares that on TH-cam I learn so much from these videos and I’m really grateful to experience the journeys
YES! TF Green was my airport during college -- it was great then (once I arrived at 6:25 for a 6:30 flight; totally made it) and it's even better now -- namely, there's now a one bus ride to Kennedy Plaza, RI's bus transit hub, and if you stay on it, you go straight to campus. Hope you enjoyed Providence, Paul, and great video as always!
PVD really is one of the nicest US airports. I had no idea you could fly overseas from there. That's also an insanely good deal. Great job on the series.
Honestly Paul I really appreciate the effort you put into your productions from 2000 subs when I first saw you to close to 100k you’ve kept the same stellar standard !
Your meal looks like a huge improvement on the food served by United. Great video as always, though after the Lion Air incident I'd personally be very wary over flying the 737 max. Keep up the good work Paul!
Thank you Paul for your kind comments about we Americans...That''s a nice change . Your relaxed personality and fun reports are a major reason for your viewer success. Cheers, Rik Spector
Great clip again Paul, keep up the good work! Would you have taken that flight today after the Ethiopian Tragedy? and what is your view on the Max after its troubles in only a short time. I look forward to your comments.
@e james Are you aware of the technical cooperation between Ethiopian and Lufthansa? They're about as far from a shithole airline as an airline will get.
Hi Paul - long time viewer - first time subscriber. This RTW trip you completed was quite outstanding. I've just finished replicating this trip on flight sim - using the same dates times, aircraft and (where possible) airlines on each sector. Took me about 3 weeks (mainly at weekends). The fact that you were able to do this in real life in 2 weeks with overnight stops only where needed is quite something. How you didn't end up permanently jetlagged is beyond me - especially with travelling West - East. Respect :)
Hi Paul, Thank you so much for a wonderful circumnavigation of the globe, and an Informative and realistic review of the various airlines. I was extremely pleased with the footage. I didn't comment on each sector but I did give it a BIG LIKE. Many thanks for sharing.
About the Max, go and search Mentour Pilot on TH-cam, he's covered the Max issue in quite some detail regarding the fault. He's also a Captain and Instructor for a major EU airline which flies the 737s and had ordered the 737 Max 8s. If the software update is approved, I'll trust the aircraft. As for 6 hours on a small plane, okay, I can agree with you there.
afxinfinitee Boeing was a little too cool with beta testing on passengers and their mistake cost 320 lives. I don’t trust their diligence or accountability.
I flew from Berlin to NYC in 2015 on Norwegian, loved it, perfect service, friendly and well looked after, it was the first airline I flew on that had the buttons that dimmed the windows, would fly with them again in a heart beat.
I had no idea until just now you flew out of TF Green. In actuality Green airport (what locals call it) is located in Warwick, RI not Providence, they gave it the call sign PVD because our state is so small and the Capital is PVD. I was also surprised you said the Edinborough route was taken off the list because that was first city that Norwegian flew to from PVD and was their gateway to Europe from this airport. Great job on your travel videos and thanks for the nice things said about RI.
Paul, I discovered your videos a few weeks ago and I watched nearly all of them over just three days. They're informative, entertaining, and incredibly relaxing after long and stressful days. I love all your videos but I especially enjoy when you travel by boat and train!
Welcome back to the UK!!! Question, obviously you were talking about your future trips to Far East, Africa etc back in 2018 when this video was filmed, you talked about going to them places "next year" does this mean this year as in 2019 or next year as in 2020?
@@clorbach2450 I like those thin style Norwegian seats like those also found on Thomas Cook and Lufthansa Cityline. On Air Canada Max 8's you get these upside down Y shaped ergo seats that make you peer into the row ahead or behind but... you get both wifi and the latest IFE on both domestic and International flights. My four hour Air Canada Max flight last year was very comfortable and quiet. If they ever get flying again both Halifax and St. John's will continue to use them to fly transatlantic to Heathrow in 5.5 and 4.5 hours respectively.
A norm here in the US....flights from Los Angeles to Hartford, Washington, New York, Boston and the Carolinas...all 6 hour flights on narrowbody aircraft. Honestly I find these flights more comfortable...try being stuck in the center seat of the center block of a full 747-400 for 11 hours. That’s not fun.
Really enjoy the videos Paul. Hope when you come back to the US, you'll consider visiting the gulf coast. We have some of the best seafood you could ever hope for, and a very rich cultural history. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
This is the first time I've watched one of this guy's videos. Wasn't bad, and I've learned something about Norwegian Airlines about which I knew nothing before. This guy could cut back on his excessive thanking, though. It gets pretty tired fast. I mean, we get the picture - you appreciate us viewers.
Wow, I really appreciate the super kind words about your love for the US. I've never actually seen any of your videos before this one, but I was hooked pretty quickly while watching this. Then you were super gracious and that just put an actual smile on my face. Safe travels and you're welcome here any time! The more people like you we have come to visit, the better we are in whole. Alright, now I'm off to watch the rest of your videos!
Thanks Paul , what a great finale to your epic trip . The value on this flight is amazing . I’ve followed you all the way in your trip , enjoyed it very much and wish you all the very best for the coming times ahead .
On Friday I fly with Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow to LAX, a flight that was booked around a month ago for just £267 return....I've never known a price as cheap as that for an 11 hour flight!
Welcome home! Thanks Paul for allowing us to join your adventure around the world. What a fantastic series to follow, even getting excited when I got a notification that the next instalment had landed. Loving your presentation style and your choice of trips, airlines and different seating classes. I was so pleased once you made it to Orlando, it looked like you really needed a good rest! Looking forward to see what you’ve got planned for 2019. Keep up the great work Paul!
Top Trip Report as per, Paul! I'm a bit envious of the fact you can sleep on planes - I can't even sleep in a flat bed! I share your love of Norwegian. I flew about 'Jonathan Swift' to Rovaniemi in March 2018, but I am not sure if the tail fins are unique to one aircraft. And I just noticed - 81k subs! Well deserved and PHENOMENAL, matey! Congratulations, that silver plaque will be in the post to you very soon :)
@@onelyone6976 I did make a video about my visit there and to the Apukka resort - I won't spam Paul's video by linking to it here but check out my channel (uploaded July 2018) if you're interested!
Just wanted to stop by and say you are of my favorite channels for reviews! I waited until all the videos were up and spent the last two days binging on these after work and it seems like you had a wonderful time. Looking forward to more content!
Planes for life I believe you are mistaken. The A320’s initial crashes were not due to the plane itself, investigators found. "no malfunction of the aircraft or its equipment which could have contributed towards a reduction in safety or an increase in the crew's workload during the final flight phase ... the response of the engines was normal and in compliance with certification requirement." The 737 MAX on the other hand was entirely due to the aircraft and was very hard to manually correct. The A320 has 0.12 hull losses per million flights compared to the MAX’s 4.0 per million flights(33x more likely).
@@leobuckman7316 Well 1) The a320 had, in its baby times a few accidents because of the engines arent reakting to the thrust leavers 2) You cant compare it like this if the plane is new and the other one old... Thus comparing would just be right if it just were the 2 first years of both planes... Best wishes (I dont want you to understand it false: I mean realy good wishes😉)
As a "Green",I should be sanctimony personified,I suppose😉Having said that though,I've become addicted to your highly informative videos .Keep up the good work,Paul.
Hell, I would be bringing a parachute on board and right near the exit.. not like they get up too full pressurization normally anyway. Totally could still open the door before it started tanking.
Thanks for taking us along on this journey. It’s been great watching and seeing all the different places you went. Seeing different lounges in countries and their designs and food. It must have been an awesome and tiring go round. Thanks again.
To put in perspective the first 737-100 1 flew on was in 1974 on Olympic Airways out of Athens a mere 45 years ago. The subsequent 737-200 was a classic and flew on them constantly until 2005 when they up and disappeared. Hopefully the Max can be salvaged.
That’s the point of your high esteemed trip report. Nothing escapes from your view. You notice every single detail. Big thanks to you, marvelous world traveler 👍👍
I found your channel late but better later than never! I've become addicted to them now. Your videos are great and your narration is terrific. You don't talk so much that its distracting but just enough to let us know what's going on. These are great! Thank you Paul. I'm a new subscriber!
6 hrs in 737 max. Not for me. My limit is 3 hrs. Too bloody small for me. Thanks for suffering on our behalf but to find it's cheaper to fly from USA to Scotland makes you wonder why budget airlines still cost more to fly to canary islands and back with added costs for meals and checked luggage. Shame Norwegian don't fly from a lot more regional airports in UK.
Paul, you're a braver man than I. Your camera shots of the the 737 interior made me cringe just at the thought of being trapped in that torture chamber for 6+ hours. I have never liked the 737 in coach, with its narrow seats and single aisle, and don't generally book on any flights much over an hour on one, and then only as a last resort. Four years ago, I flew through Shanghai and connected to a Shanghai Air (Owned by China Eastern) B737-800, for a trip down to Bangkok. The flight was 4+38 hours, power-up to touchdown, and it was miserable. Those airplanes are simply not ergonomically suitable for long flights. Even my wife, slim and lithe, upon arrival said, "never again". It was nothing that Shanghai Airlines did wrong, it was just the aircraft's poor accommodations. And before I hear, "it's up to the airlines as to the seats and comfort", well, the industry-standard on all 737's in coach is 6-across, and in that configuration, ALL seats are narrow because you can't fit 10 pounds of crap in a 5-pound bag. I will hand Norwegian Airlines one kudos -- that meal looked really good. As you said, it was "legacy-quality".
Hi Paul, I've just finished a binge watch of your RTW trip. Thanks for posting , I freally enjoyed it . I work in business travel and found some of the reports on the more obscure budget carriers really useful. Keep the videos coming and - safe travels !
I've had such a great time watching these 25 videos. We are glad you're safe, and we are also happy the delays weren't terrible. Happy New year and safe travels! Greetings from California!
I've been involved and have worked in aviation for absolutely so many years! It still takes a bit of getting used to having the auld B737 routinely doing the Atlantic. It must be that the 200's are still stuck in me head :) Well done Paul!
Well done Paul! I subscribed to one of your train trip vids and here we are - just having binge watched your complex RTW. I love the format of your flight vids - concise and straightforward and not from an "entitled" pov. Cheers
Thanks for the shoutout to me and all of us Americans here. Very glad to hear a non-American have something positive to say about my country as it can seem at times that everyone hates us Americans. Thanks again! I love your videos and can't wait to see more!
Congrats on finishing the series. My first thought when I saw the video title was “oh god no”, but then I remembered I spent at least 4.5 hours on an A320 coming back from Eastern Europe and didn’t mind it as much as I thought I would. It was a perfectly clear night over Europe so I just counted away the hours city spotting from the window. As a person who has never even experienced a widebody a plane is a plane and if it gets me there comfortably who am I to grumble. That said, I am going on a widebody in March, a 747, and I’ve booked the upper deck which has narrow body dimensions anyway, ha!
Stewie935 I hope so. We booked back in December and gleefully paid extra there and then to reserve our seats on the upper deck. That and the fact that virgin aren’t as cheap as BA means we paid more or less double what we could have to get across the Atlantic, but since it’s probably the one and only chance I’ll ever get to fly a 747 I made it happen. Less than 8 weeks to go now, just praying they don’t change the plane or something else go wrong lol
Have really enjoyed this series.. Thank you for taking us along. I still remember when I was following your progress via Twitter.. I would love to do something like this one day, a great way to see so much of the world.. When I have time I will watch the whole thing in one go.. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more :)
Awesome video reports, Paul! i always enjoy watching your trips over some food and it always pumps me up to do more in my life and because of you (along with many more) i just started my own Aviation channel that will typically focus on flights, airline food reviews and much more. again, i am just starting so i hope it turns out well in the long run. thank you so much for inspiring me ! please keep making more videos (also add have ice cream reviews on other airports if possible!!)

This whole thing is put on being because the airline is like trying to hide the fact they missed a fault an never gotten to fix it. Idc if it was proven by the ntsb that it was a faulty design. It’s been around for ages and is fixable by disconnecting the electric trim. The whole crash could have been avoided if they fixed the runaway trim. It’s in every aircraft with it. And the crash goes under the category of a runaway trim from a fault in the computer. And even a matience pilot went up in the max after the crash and seen the same issue. And all he did to stop it was disengage the Electric trim. It was poor execution on the pilots side for not trying to immediately figure out what’s wrong.
Messages reveal a top Boeing pilot knew about problems with the 737 Max's 'egregious' behavior before 2 deadly crashes
Boeing 737 Max airplanes parked on Boeing property in Washington in September. The planes have not been delivered to airlines yet as they remain grounded after two fatal crashes. David Ryder/Getty Images
Boeing's chief technical pilot on the 737 Max project told another employee in 2016 that there were "egregious" problems with the jet's automated anti-stall system, MCAS.
The pilot, Mark Forkner, made those observations at least two years before the first of two deadly crashes involving the 737 Max, in October 2018 and March 2019.
Boeing said it found the internal instant messages sent by Forkner "some months ago,"
And even leaving the MCAS system alone there are dozens of now obvious flaws with the plane
A guy from boeing said that the plane was made by money hungry fools
Overall boeing has got a complete beating and has ruined its reputation for ever and all deaths on the plane was directly beoings fault and dont those pilots didnt recieve the knowledge that mcas even existed on the plane let alone how to work with it boeing was selfish and momey hungry as they didnt want it to be a new type rating for the pilots as that would "cost them" this is an accurate representation of when people are just to momey hungry
I found you in the recommended section of TH-cam as I love watching flight reviews and subscribed to your channel. The way you put the report together is fab, it's enjoyable - keep it up :)
Great to see Norwegian get some spotlight. I'm personally a loyal Norwegian customer and they've never disappointed me since I first flew with them in 2010 (I mean it does help that Copenhagen is one of their hubs and that I'm from Copenhagen yadeeyadeeyadaa)
Thanks a lot for taking us with You on this journey! Will love to hear more from You going full-time. Enjoy quitting Your job! It’s an adventure for sure, but You’ll do great.
Andreas Pietsch Cheers Andreas! It will be an adventure for sure.
You are a wonderful narrator.....the best in showing every aspect of travel.
What a good ending to a fantastic series. Finding your channel has ignited my love of travel and has inspired me to fly as much as I can. Next time you're in Canada you should visit Edmonton, we have a great airport and I feel the city is a bit of a hidden gem.
Just don't go in winter. It's very very cold.
Loves the views out of the the window Paul! Brings back memories of a visit to EDI a few years ago. I do quite like the 737 Max too! I hope to get on board one day...
I'm really liking your reviews, I love travelling (but don't have the money to do it frequently enough) so I like these review videos and yours are among the best. Informative, and not too long. Thank you!
That's my local airport. I had a flight out of there yesterday morning and it was 10 minutes to park my car, take the shuttle, drop off my bag, go through security, and walk to my gate. You simply can't beat that! The interior could use some love in a few spots, but it's also not like a major airport where you're spending hours there either.
5:03 Damn girl! You really like your Marlboros cigarettes. 😅
Jackie chan_WTF wtf I don’t get it
@@OrbitzFlies didn't you see the cigarette pack??????
Uncle Ben no I didnt
I thought that what it was😂
Duty Free
Honestly I really love flying and I finally found a person who shares that on TH-cam
I learn so much from these videos and I’m really grateful to experience the journeys
A very nice end to the world tour. Really enjoyable series and I am looking forward to the next trips. Still flying the flag for UK trip reporters!
Omg I watch ur videos I love them they’re amazing :P
YES! TF Green was my airport during college -- it was great then (once I arrived at 6:25 for a 6:30 flight; totally made it) and it's even better now -- namely, there's now a one bus ride to Kennedy Plaza, RI's bus transit hub, and if you stay on it, you go straight to campus. Hope you enjoyed Providence, Paul, and great video as always!
Ah, good to see you again! Thanks for the epic adventure. Didn't miss a single episode!
Cheers!
PVD really is one of the nicest US airports. I had no idea you could fly overseas from there. That's also an insanely good deal. Great job on the series.
Don't understand why people thumbs down your viids Paul,there easy to watch none ofensive and very educational 🤔keep up the great work,Chris
Chris Lawrence competitors maybe?
Honestly Paul I really appreciate the effort you put into your productions from 2000 subs when I first saw you to close to 100k you’ve kept the same stellar standard !
Your meal looks like a huge improvement on the food served by United. Great video as always, though after the Lion Air incident I'd personally be very wary over flying the 737 max. Keep up the good work Paul!
Thank you Paul for your kind comments about we Americans...That''s a nice change .
Your relaxed personality and fun reports are a major reason for your viewer success.
Cheers,
Rik Spector
Great clip again Paul, keep up the good work! Would you have taken that flight today after the Ethiopian Tragedy? and what is your view on the Max after its troubles in only a short time. I look forward to your comments.
@e james Are you aware of the technical cooperation between Ethiopian and Lufthansa? They're about as far from a shithole airline as an airline will get.
Hi Paul - long time viewer - first time subscriber. This RTW trip you completed was quite outstanding. I've just finished replicating this trip on flight sim - using the same dates times, aircraft and (where possible) airlines on each sector. Took me about 3 weeks (mainly at weekends). The fact that you were able to do this in real life in 2 weeks with overnight stops only where needed is quite something. How you didn't end up permanently jetlagged is beyond me - especially with travelling West - East. Respect :)
Loved the RTW trip reports Paul and simply buzzed to hear you’re going full time! What an amazing dream come true. Enjoy Wednesday!
Moments In The Sky Cheers! I will enjoy handing in my notice!
Hi Paul,
Thank you so much for a wonderful circumnavigation of the globe, and an Informative and realistic review of the various airlines. I was extremely pleased with the footage. I didn't comment on each sector but I did give it a BIG LIKE. Many thanks for sharing.
737 max ... nope!
6 hours on a plane that small .. nope!
About the Max, go and search Mentour Pilot on TH-cam, he's covered the Max issue in quite some detail regarding the fault. He's also a Captain and Instructor for a major EU airline which flies the 737s and had ordered the 737 Max 8s. If the software update is approved, I'll trust the aircraft.
As for 6 hours on a small plane, okay, I can agree with you there.
afxinfinitee Boeing was a little too cool with beta testing on passengers and their mistake cost 320 lives. I don’t trust their diligence or accountability.
You know you don’t actually get more space on a bigger plane right? They just fill them with more seats
@@Cactus732 the issue for me is the single aisle
For 160USD, I'd be happy with a crate in the cargo hold
I flew from Berlin to NYC in 2015 on Norwegian, loved it, perfect service, friendly and well looked after, it was the first airline I flew on that had the buttons that dimmed the windows, would fly with them again in a heart beat.
I had no idea until just now you flew out of TF Green. In actuality Green airport (what locals call it) is located in Warwick, RI not Providence, they gave it the call sign PVD because our state is so small and the Capital is PVD. I was also surprised you said the Edinborough route was taken off the list because that was first city that Norwegian flew to from PVD and was their gateway to Europe from this airport. Great job on your travel videos and thanks for the nice things said about RI.
Paul, I discovered your videos a few weeks ago and I watched nearly all of them over just three days. They're informative, entertaining, and incredibly relaxing after long and stressful days. I love all your videos but I especially enjoy when you travel by boat and train!
Welcome back to the UK!!!
Question, obviously you were talking about your future trips to Far East, Africa etc back in 2018 when this video was filmed, you talked about going to them places "next year" does this mean this year as in 2019 or next year as in 2020?
Tim Smith It means this year 2019! 😊
It takes some guts to fly on the 737MAX!! Good luck!
6 Hours in a 737 sounds horrible... But for that price I guess I could endure it.
Itzille the max cabin is way different than your regular 737
@@clorbach2450 I like those thin style Norwegian seats like those also found on Thomas Cook and Lufthansa Cityline. On Air Canada Max 8's you get these upside down Y shaped ergo seats that make you peer into the row ahead or behind but... you get both wifi and the latest IFE on both domestic and International flights. My four hour Air Canada Max flight last year was very comfortable and quiet. If they ever get flying again both Halifax and St. John's will continue to use them to fly transatlantic to Heathrow in 5.5 and 4.5 hours respectively.
A norm here in the US....flights from Los Angeles to Hartford, Washington, New York, Boston and the Carolinas...all 6 hour flights on narrowbody aircraft. Honestly I find these flights more comfortable...try being stuck in the center seat of the center block of a full 747-400 for 11 hours. That’s not fun.
Bro I flew Kona-Los Angeles and it’s like 5h30 to 6h on a 739
No different to a 757
Really enjoy the videos Paul. Hope when you come back to the US, you'll consider visiting the gulf coast. We have some of the best seafood you could ever hope for, and a very rich cultural history. Look forward to seeing more of your videos.
Literally every comment since like 10 months: oMg u suRv1Vd3d tHe 737 mAx!!!!!!
You've kept us waiting a while for this, but it was worth it... and an honor to have you visit our great nation. Have a great 2019
This is the first time I've watched one of this guy's videos. Wasn't bad, and I've learned something about Norwegian Airlines about which I knew nothing before. This guy could cut back on his excessive thanking, though. It gets pretty tired fast. I mean, we get the picture - you appreciate us viewers.
bSMy84 If this is the first video you watched, I wasn’t thanking you 😜
Wingin’ It! Paul Lucas - Wham, Bam! What a comeback! 🤩
Wow, I really appreciate the super kind words about your love for the US. I've never actually seen any of your videos before this one, but I was hooked pretty quickly while watching this. Then you were super gracious and that just put an actual smile on my face. Safe travels and you're welcome here any time! The more people like you we have come to visit, the better we are in whole.
Alright, now I'm off to watch the rest of your videos!
Glad you registered it for posterity... Somewhere in time someone will want to know how was it like flying in a Max and landing...
Dont worry chief, they'll be back in the air soon
Thanks Paul , what a great finale to your epic trip . The value on this flight is amazing . I’ve followed you all the way in your trip , enjoyed it very much and wish you all the very best for the coming times ahead .
On Friday I fly with Virgin Atlantic from Heathrow to LAX, a flight that was booked around a month ago for just £267 return....I've never known a price as cheap as that for an 11 hour flight!
How did u do it planing to go to LAX next year but keep finding expensive tickets please tell me on how to get cheap flights plz
Thoroughly enjoyed your round the world tour. Something I wish I could have done myself when I was around your age.
It has been great following you in 2018. Looking forward to your flights and train journeys (my favourites) this year. Keep up the excellent work 😊👍
Christer Häll Thanks Christer! Plenty more train trips to come 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
@The All Sports Channel Thanks 😊
Welcome home! Thanks Paul for allowing us to join your adventure around the world. What a fantastic series to follow, even getting excited when I got a notification that the next instalment had landed. Loving your presentation style and your choice of trips, airlines and different seating classes. I was so pleased once you made it to Orlando, it looked like you really needed a good rest! Looking forward to see what you’ve got planned for 2019. Keep up the great work Paul!

Top Trip Report as per, Paul! I'm a bit envious of the fact you can sleep on planes - I can't even sleep in a flat bed! I share your love of Norwegian. I flew about 'Jonathan Swift' to Rovaniemi in March 2018, but I am not sure if the tail fins are unique to one aircraft. And I just noticed - 81k subs! Well deserved and PHENOMENAL, matey! Congratulations, that silver plaque will be in the post to you very soon :)
I've just noticed how Norwegian stole their livery from the UK Coastguard helicopter on your latest vlog...
Andrew Ditton Same here. I can't sleep in a vehicle, no matter what. Very envious of people who can sleep anywhere.
Andrew Ditton hey how was Rovaniemi? Just asking couse i’m Finnish
@@onelyone6976 I did make a video about my visit there and to the Apukka resort - I won't spam Paul's video by linking to it here but check out my channel (uploaded July 2018) if you're interested!
Thank you for doing this. Some of us can't go round the world like this and I am glad I at least got to see it through your lens.
I've do a 737 max flight of more than 7hours, without screen and food. 1 Month before the 2nd crash.
I used to see United airlines fly them into O'Hare airport. Once the issues are fixed. I'll gladly ride on one
I was very hesitant about crossing the Atlantic in a 737, comfort wise, until I saw this, thanks.
Great video and thanks for the insight. I sell Norwegian occasionally to corporate clients, so it's useful to see what's inside.
Just wanted to stop by and say you are of my favorite channels for reviews! I waited until all the videos were up and spent the last two days binging on these after work and it seems like you had a wonderful time. Looking forward to more content!
In the case of the cabin losing pressure, oxygen masks will drop from above. In the more likely case of an MCAS failure, you are screwed.
In the more likely case of MCAS kicking in, you are screwed
@@AlfaGiuliaQV no, not really.
Mcas itself is fine
The max is not that unsafe.... The a320 had more incidents and deaths in its first 2 years, but nobody talks about "I survived an a320"
Planes for life I believe you are mistaken. The A320’s initial crashes were not due to the plane itself, investigators found. "no malfunction of the aircraft or its equipment which could have contributed towards a reduction in safety or an increase in the crew's workload during the final flight phase ... the response of the engines was normal and in compliance with certification requirement." The 737 MAX on the other hand was entirely due to the aircraft and was very hard to manually correct. The A320 has 0.12 hull losses per million flights compared to the MAX’s 4.0 per million flights(33x more likely).
@@leobuckman7316 Well
1) The a320 had, in its baby times a few accidents because of the engines arent reakting to the thrust leavers
2) You cant compare it like this if the plane is new and the other one old... Thus comparing would just be right if it just were the 2 first years of both planes...
Best wishes
(I dont want you to understand it false: I mean realy good wishes😉)
Really enjoying the videos Paul, got a chuckle when you woke up over Derry where I live, on the way back. Safe travels!
I can already see the MAX comments...oh boy
Brings back a lot of memories for an old guy......good luck Paul and God speed.
As a "Green",I should be sanctimony personified,I suppose😉Having said that though,I've become addicted to your highly informative videos .Keep up the good work,Paul.
That's amazing that you didn't have a cancelled flight. Glad, you had a great trip. Look forward to the next round the world series.
I would reserve an exit or front row seat if i‘d book this flight...
BTW great video as always!
Hell, I would be bringing a parachute on board and right near the exit.. not like they get up too full pressurization normally anyway. Totally could still open the door before it started tanking.
Great video Paul. One thing I liked was that you took time to meaningfully thank your subscribers.
Edinburgh probably has the weirdest (and most scenic) landing flight path in the UK
CammyM London city
Thanks for taking us along on this journey. It’s been great watching and seeing all the different places you went. Seeing different lounges in countries and their designs and food. It must have been an awesome and tiring go round. Thanks again.
How insane it is to think that when the 737 was originally designed it was a considered a regional jet.
To put in perspective the first 737-100 1 flew on was in 1974 on Olympic Airways out of Athens a mere 45 years ago. The subsequent 737-200 was a classic and flew on them constantly until 2005 when they up and disappeared. Hopefully the Max can be salvaged.
It’s our pleasure to watch and support your fantastic reviews.
I’m glad your plane didn’t crash! Please keep that content going
"Those were the days, my friends . . . ." Nostalgia for the times of no fear.
I recently flew Newark-Oakland nonstop on a Southwest 737-700. It was about 6.5hrs, talk about long
Really great series - very concise information. Didn't make too much of flying first class like some bloggers. Well done Paul

I found your channel late but better later than never! I've become addicted to them now. Your videos are great and your narration is terrific. You don't talk so much that its distracting but just enough to let us know what's going on. These are great! Thank you Paul. I'm a new subscriber!
6 hrs in 737 max.
Not for me. My limit is 3 hrs. Too bloody small for me.
Thanks for suffering on our behalf but to find it's cheaper to fly from USA to Scotland makes you wonder why budget airlines still cost more to fly to canary islands and back with added costs for meals and checked luggage. Shame Norwegian don't fly from a lot more regional airports in UK.
Flew silk air 737-8 Non max for 5.5 hours as we held over Male for an hour. I’m 6ft 2 and wasn’t that bad
My pants get damp after 3 hours
Nice review! I took Norwegian's 737 from Edinburgh to Stewart Intl. in New York. It's a good flight that's also a great value.
Paul, you're a braver man than I. Your camera shots of the the 737 interior made me cringe just at the thought of being trapped in that torture chamber for 6+ hours. I have never liked the 737 in coach, with its narrow seats and single aisle, and don't generally book on any flights much over an hour on one, and then only as a last resort.
Four years ago, I flew through Shanghai and connected to a Shanghai Air (Owned by China Eastern) B737-800, for a trip down to Bangkok. The flight was 4+38 hours, power-up to touchdown, and it was miserable. Those airplanes are simply not ergonomically suitable for long flights. Even my wife, slim and lithe, upon arrival said, "never again". It was nothing that Shanghai Airlines did wrong, it was just the aircraft's poor accommodations.
And before I hear, "it's up to the airlines as to the seats and comfort", well, the industry-standard on all 737's in coach is 6-across, and in that configuration, ALL seats are narrow because you can't fit 10 pounds of crap in a 5-pound bag.
I will hand Norwegian Airlines one kudos -- that meal looked really good. As you said, it was "legacy-quality".
Exactly 737..overnight..6 hrs..no thanks ill swim it
I’ve done that before. Frankfurt to Libreville, Gabon in a boeing 737-800 for about 6 hours! Mainly slept the whole way through.
Hi Paul, I've just finished a binge watch of your RTW trip. Thanks for posting , I freally enjoyed it . I work in business travel and found some of the reports on the more obscure budget carriers really useful. Keep the videos coming and - safe travels !
Norwegian air are such great value.
We were glad to have you here in America, Paul!
With what has happened recently with these will you be flying with these again?
I've had such a great time watching these 25 videos. We are glad you're safe, and we are also happy the delays weren't terrible. Happy New year and safe travels! Greetings from California!
Oh wow, it didn't crash! good job Boeing! You really are improving!.......... oh wait this was before..... they are regressing......
I've been involved and have worked in aviation for absolutely so many years! It still takes a bit of getting used to having the auld B737 routinely doing the Atlantic. It must be that the 200's are still stuck in me head :) Well done Paul!
You are very much worth the time watching! Please let me know if you’re ever in San Francisco on layover.
You can catch his movements in real time on his social media including snapchat and Instagram.

Transavia offer a 7 hour 737 Flight To Dubai!
Damn..
Wow thats amazing!
Thanks for the shoutout to me and all of us Americans here. Very glad to hear a non-American have something positive to say about my country as it can seem at times that everyone hates us Americans. Thanks again! I love your videos and can't wait to see more!
Congrats on finishing the series. My first thought when I saw the video title was “oh god no”, but then I remembered I spent at least 4.5 hours on an A320 coming back from Eastern Europe and didn’t mind it as much as I thought I would. It was a perfectly clear night over Europe so I just counted away the hours city spotting from the window. As a person who has never even experienced a widebody a plane is a plane and if it gets me there comfortably who am I to grumble. That said, I am going on a widebody in March, a 747, and I’ve booked the upper deck which has narrow body dimensions anyway, ha!
Box ! ... might be 👀
The top deck of the 747 is amazing. So much quieter than downstairs and a more relaxed atmosphere
Stewie935 more personal too I’d have thought!
Honestly mate its amazing. Even on virgin Atlantic economy upstairs i was in heaven haha
Stewie935 I hope so. We booked back in December and gleefully paid extra there and then to reserve our seats on the upper deck. That and the fact that virgin aren’t as cheap as BA means we paid more or less double what we could have to get across the Atlantic, but since it’s probably the one and only chance I’ll ever get to fly a 747 I made it happen. Less than 8 weeks to go now, just praying they don’t change the plane or something else go wrong lol
Have really enjoyed this series.. Thank you for taking us along. I still remember when I was following your progress via Twitter.. I would love to do something like this one day, a great way to see so much of the world.. When I have time I will watch the whole thing in one go.. Thanks again and I look forward to seeing more :)
A legacy 737 Max flight - try finding one of those now? Probably to return in Q4 2019.
Awesome video reports, Paul! i always enjoy watching your trips over some food and it always pumps me up to do more in my life and because of you (along with many more) i just started my own Aviation channel that will typically focus on flights, airline food reviews and much more. again, i am just starting so i hope it turns out well in the long run. thank you so much for inspiring me ! please keep making more videos (also add have ice cream reviews on other airports if possible!!)
