[@MDLC424]

Seeing this channel go from Jeb chronicling his work trips, and occasionally mentioning a girlfriend a few years ago, to Suzanne also being such a major part of this travel channel is very cool.

[@counterfit5]

Maybe for Christmas or their anniversary he can get Suzanne her own lav mic 😂

[@elizcollable]

As a rare female #avgeek, I love seeing Suzanne in more and more of the vids. She is funny, engaging and so full of aviation knowledge. I’m a huge fan!! Thank you Suzanne for being simply awesome! 🎉

[@mjfreespirit]

I agree.

[@TT-by7tv]

As a pilot myself for one of the 3 major Airlines, I would go for more trains. You said it yourself the Canada video crushed it. Very few of us have done a luxury train anywhere in the world. Also try a smaller cruise line like Seabourn! Would love to see that video. If you are going to SE Asia try Palawan.

[@michaelj3282]

Agreed on Palawan, truly wonderful place.

[@pollytiks3885]

Agree - trains and ships pls!

[@Aaron-hl1rl]

Pawalan philipinnes?

[@elliot_729]

I would love more train content because I love trains.

[@RGill-yf3ul]

Hi Jeb I was a Service Director for a legacy carrier for 42 years and recently retired. Travel vlogs keep me connected to the industry I love and yours are my favorite. You and your wife do an amazing job in keeping us entertained. I appreciate how you are respectful of all the hard working people in this industry and how you don’t use your vlogs to constantly complain about airlines and other modes of transport you use. I look forward to your travels in 2024 Best wished for safe travels. Best regards, Rob

[@entropiaeight8622]

I don't love the crazy challenge videos like "Can I fly to EVERY DELTA HUB Airport in 24 HOURS?" or "Can I Fly to EVERY American Airlines Hub Back-to-Back?". it seems wasteful of fuel and resources and it doesn't strike me as really useful information (but I haven't watched them, so I could be wrong) nor is it anything I want to "daydream" about or live vicariously threw your videos with. I did like the "worst airline" video, that was useful and didn't seem like a challenge for the sake of a challenge. [Despite this asked for criticism, I LOVE your videos and watch many of them and re-watch some with my husband , too! I love your personality and I emotionally connect with your enthusiasm. I also feel like you present the information in a usable but still entertaining way - kudos and thank you for the videos!]

[@shsd4130]

Best couple on KZbin. Thank you for taking us all around the world with you. Happy New Year!!

[@shsd4130]

Want to see: Miles in Transit collab? Not want to see: It's hard to think of anything. Your videos are all really dialed in. I guess if I had to reach for something, it would be bloopers since they don't do much for me, but I feel bad even saying that, since they're skippable at the end

[@GreenerGrass]

Wow! Thanks so much! More to come…

[@counterfit5]

​@@shsd4130the bloopers are great, just like older Jackie Chan movies

[@user-ml7hj5cx4o]

​@@GreenerGrasssee you and your all the traveling from North Carolina all the way to Wichita Kansas and do a video of the airport in Wichita Kansas I have an idea North Carolina through Wichita Kansas and catch another fight back Los Angeles

[@sol_tropical]

@@counterfit5 yes. Please never change the booper music Jeb.

[@BCK00318]

I really appreciate the fact that Jeb mentioned answering a lady about them traveling by saying, "Yes, ma'am ". 👏👏👏 I just grew more fondly of ya'll's channel knowing ya'll are just as nice off camera as you seem to be on, ya'll deserve all the blessings in your lives, for sure ❤

[@hwgusn]

I’d love to see more ocean and river cruising videos. Jeb, did you know you can travel the world on cargo ships?

[@dcfan40]

Great idea!

[@rallyman1122]

A cargo ship tour would very interesting.

[@rogerbear60]

I'd be interested in the cargo ship travel. I had a boss years ago that took a freighter from Brazil back to the U.S. It sounded fascinating.

[@sol_tropical]

definitely travel on a cargo ship for 30 or so days.

[@NealCMH]

Another idea related to cargo ships would be to take a Lake Freighter through the St. Lawerence Seaway to Duluth MN or the reverse.

[@Rickyboy707]

Wow, I can't believe you guys are married two years already! Time flies when you're having fun. I've been watching since the channel came to life, and I feel like you guys are my friends. You are the best when it comes to editing, explaining stuff, and keeping us interested. To me, your humbleness comes across in every video. You are very lucky to do what you do, but I'm sure it is hard work and not all fun and games. Happy New Year, and I am looking forward to what 2024 have in store for you and Suzanne, AND what is in store for us, your viewers. -->Ric

[@nbajammer2]

This channel is one of my favorites because it strikes a nice mix of luxury experiences, behind the scenes access, adventure, and fun challenges like the CRJ and hub hopping videos.

[@julieericson3275]

I would love to see some of what you guys are doing at your actual destinations and don’t want to see anything you all don’t want to do! One of the best parts of this channel is how evident it is that this is a hobby - not a necessity. Your authenticity stands out on KZbin.

[@elvislopez5257]

I gotta say, I love the inclusiveness I feel when I watch your videos. Hearing how much gratitude y’all have to your followers for giving you two the opportunity to experience everything & also informing us or opening us to new travel ideas. Can’t wait to see what 2024 brings y’all & myself ❤️🛫🚝🛳️

[@deborahsobel3314]

I loved the train trips best; the food was excellent, the opportunity to see different countries from a train window was unlike any other. Some of the scenery was just magnificent. I agree with Jeb on Canada, the people waving as you travelled along was such an authentic view into who they are.

[@stuartrelay]

Great year for you guys!As an Alaskan, we would love to have you guys back up here. For another airport behind the scenes episode, you guys should do Ted Stevens Anchorage International Airport. Not only is it the largest airport in Alaska, it is the fourth busiest air cargo hub in the world and they are currently undergoing an expansion.

[@tylerjerabek5204]

Great idea, showing how they work the cargo through plus perhaps a sidelight on weather and atc

[@mk-m6779]

denver too

[@pbtravel1696]

I personally really enjoy the aviation side of the channel because that's what I can relate to the most hence the photo, but I've got to say guys, I watch every video without fail and you guys absolutely smash it out of the park every time. I love everything you guys do. Happy new year and can't wait for many more videos to come!

[@GreenerGrass]

Thank you! Aviation is definitely the heart of the channel, but we’ve had a blast branching out into some other transportation experiences.

[@mjfreespirit]

You guys aren’t cruise travel bloggers so it’s refreshing to see you guys go on one once in a while

[@GrumpyForester]

I've loved all of your videos for quite a while now, but I think I would love to see you two trying the Alaska Airline Milk Run (either direction) in SE Alaska. It has looked epic to me and might make for a fascinating video of hopping on and off at the various destinations (Ketchikan, Sitka, Cordova, et. al.)...

[@jbutler7777]

You asked for what I wouldn’t want to see. Anything that is so ridiculously expensive that only a few will ever be using. Love your channel.

[@peonycottageboutique4154]

Way to go! Those stats are incredible. As a Canadian, it is great to hear how much you love visiting Canada and to see how interested viewers are. Looking forward to following your travels in 2024. Happy new year and thank you!

[@JLS66715]

Jen and Suzanne, my wife and I took our first plane ride this year from Maryland to Florida and back. We enjoyed watching all your aviation videos , they put us at ease and educated us at the same time. We had a great time flying. We are wishing you both the best New Year, and continued success, we will be watching ! ✈️🛩️🛫

[@GreenerGrass]

That’s awesome, glad the flight went smoothly!

[@elliebeep27]

Thanks Jeb and Suzanne! I've been really loving your channel, your positivity and kindness. My fave travel vloggers by far! You guys put a smile on my face :-) Happy New Year!

[@mholden020]

I'm a simple person: The weekend arrives, I see a new video from you guys, I'm happy. Love coming along on your adventures all over the world, thanks so much for sharing it with us! This year was great and can't wait to see what y'all do in 2024, Happy New Year!!

[@brickcinemastudios]

I became a fan this year and have watched nonstop. You ask in the last few minutes what you want to see more of. Some more ship and cruise content added into the mix would be nice, but everything you pump out is always super entertaining. Keep it up!

[@PLUMEY14]

Happy to see my Canadian as the most watched video. Congrats on a stellar year.

[@tyzack18]

I didn’t catch all your content in 2023, The Queen Mary was one of my favourite videos.

[@bws468]

Awesome year! Your cruise crushed it!

[@Tell_me_something_good]

Kvegas here, congrats on the channel. Best of luck for next year. Put out fun and exciting adventures and we will watch.

[@ronburn]

I'd like to see a video or two of the process of booking these trips. Do you book with points or cash? How far in advance to you make reservations? Maybe a video on how you started this KZbin channel. Maybe a trip in a HondaJet since you live in Greensboro.

[@deanmartin8784]

Hi Jeb and Suzanne, Andean Explorer was my introduction to your channel and I’ve been a subscriber ever since. I’m also a fan of aviation and enjoy the behind the scenes videos. So trains, planes and other modes of travel are fine. Some commenters suggested reviewing smaller specialty cruise ships and river cruises and I agree.

[@TheWinningSperm888]

I would love to see a honeymoon series of you pair reviewing the best trips/flights to do for a honeymoon! :)

[@GreenerGrass]

Check out this playlist from our honeymoon, we did Kenya, Seychelles, and Egypt: kzbin.info/aero/PLQhp4hw0kFeqHICip0iEr-LevojtIU05t&si=Y6fMBcitY0_21GLr

[@neoroha]

Suzanne loves United, so I love United. I was thrilled that my two favorite videos from 2023 were your favorites to release. I can barely wait to see where y'all will take us in 2024

[@nataliekeppel6729]

I don’t know if this reference will land the way I intend. But your videos are like the KZbin equivalent of the Great British Bake off. 😍 escapism, wholesomeness, quality content and always a joy to watch! Keep of the great work!❤🎉

[@GreenerGrass]

That’s a huge compliment, thank you for watching!

[@carolbarno5557]

Love listening to you guys chat about your adventures. Love watching your videos. They take me places I could never go! Thank you

[@Brucetiki1]

When a video from your home town ends up in the top 5 😍

[@JD-Films1]

I would like to see more Hub Hopping! Not to subject you to the torture obviously😂😂

[@theathjr]

We love love love your content whether its in the skies on the rails or in the sea’s. Hey. Light Bulb Moment. We want Submarine Travel Videos !!!

[@markeschen]

I seem to remember a video from a while back where you said Suzanne was camera-shy. As much as I have enjoyed this channel over the last few years, the best thing to happen to it is to get Suzanne in front of the camera!!! Best wishes for a great 2024!

[@GreenerGrass]

Appreciate your kind words!

[@aprilrich807]

Honestly, you two could release a video of taking an Uber to a favorite restaurant and I’d watch. I adore you both and wish you a wonderful New Year.

[@GreenerGrass]

That’s nice of you to say! We’ll try to keep the videos a little more interesting than that, but thanks for the idea! 🤣

[@robdurfee5110]

I look forward to your 2024 videos. Your life is like a dream that you never wake up from

[@PjMeh]

I don't know WHAT I did that y'all popped up into my algorithm, but as a result I've been binge watching for the last several days. When I started watching the channel & subscribed, you were at 754k subscribers, as of writing this you're at 756k! Will easily hit 1 million by Memorial Day, or by the start of summer for sure! Thanks for such amazing work, and adventures! 🫶🏽

[@GreenerGrass]

Welcome and thanks for joining!

[@alessandrawitsch7830]

My Son and i we love your Videos. We wish you an Suzanne a happy New Year. Best Wishes from Germany. Alessandra and Daniel 😊

[@GreenerGrass]

Happy new year!

[@erauprcwa]

I’m a pilot, so I love the travel vlog type videos. My favorite was the Canadian train video and the Queen Mary trip. Absolutely love when both you and Suzanne are in the videos as travel companions. It adds another layer to the experience. I’d love to see more Alaska stuff. The milk run would be awesome

[@s.macintosh-jc9rf]

Hi Jeb and Suzanne, It’s great to see you guys again. What a year, and you gave us so much pleasure and adventure! I’m hooked on travel videos and yours are the best. Happy New Year 🥳, Peter

[@danaberry6207]

Thank you for all the content you provide on traveling around the world. So proud to be a Canadian. Jeb & Suzanne you are definitely welcome back here anytime, you are the best ambassadors for our country. Looking forward to the rest of your Japan journey and all that 2024 promises to bring. Happy New Year 🥳🍾🥂

[@cdnshark19]

Not sure about content I don't want to see. But a video idea I have is testing Canada's LCCs! There's Flair, Swoop, Lynx, Sunwing and Air Canada Rouge! Thanks for a great year and safe travels!

[@doug.jones.88]

I'm glad to hear you're as excited about posting videos as we are watching them! I've never not loved anything you've posted, so I can't imagine what content I wouldn't want to watch. Can't wait for your 2024 travels, and beyond!

[@jcif2468]

The Canadian rail trip ❤ is now my retirement-present-to-myself goal!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@davelm42]

I'd love to see train or other transportation adventures in Europe. Also, could you guys discuss a little about airline miles, clubs, and statuses that you have and what programs you think are best?

[@alfredinglesby6489]

No, there’s nothing you guys have to change about that your channel. We look forward to Sunday meeting you guys at our local airport PTI. 18:23

[@GreenerGrass]

Hope to run into you sometime!

[@zachclark7378]

Honestly, my number 1 thing would be a more regular way to interact wuth this community. A podcast, a discord, who knows. As for content anything you make, my fiance and I will watch! Happy new years!

[@GreenerGrass]

We’ll give some thought to the best ways to do this!

[@mattball2700]

The jump from 3,4,5 to 2 and then 1 - wow! Happy New Year!

[@Sawyersaviation]

Happy new year! It was an awesome year!

[@barryfletcher7136]

Happy New Year!

[@TENNESSEETORNADO]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!

[@antonioflores7917]

Merry Christmas and happy new year love the vids 😁

[@nikkiemberson5064]

You guys are so great!!

[@alex_paterson]

I honestly love the amount of positivity you both have - there have certainly been moments where I'd have been frustrated and annoyed if I was in your position, but you always try (and manage) to find the best in each situation! I hope you both have a really great 2024 😊

[@stevenlopez8361]

Wonderful! What a year!

[@kg1966]

The Canadian was my favorite. And may I add, it is wonderful to see a couple that has the same passion and so much fun traveling together.

[@jasonbernard1277]

Great year guys! We don’t need any more ‘big 3’ American Airlines, so I’m keen to see you in SE Asia!

[@RichardWagenknecht]

Congratulations to you two! One of the travel channels on KZbin! I wish you much success.

[@brucemcabee5042]

Thanks for all the adventures in 2023. Hopefully you will head down under again and experience the train trip that has the longest dead straight track in the world, The Indian Pacific.

[@peterbaader334]

Happy New Year! All the best to both of you!

[@xrs54]

Ever since you included your wife, this channel has taken off lol, I’ve been a viewer for years now and love it! Shocked a train video got the most views, as an aviation nerd, enough with the trains 🙄 (you asked)! Keep it up, and take the wife on every trip!

[@darlawittmier1793]

Happy new year.

[@howardchestnut5782]

I think your voice , your method of speaking and your editing are the reason I tune into your channel and not others.

[@LeonLahiere]

I'm one of those viewers who watched the Canadian video in "preparation" for my own journey on The Canadian, taken in November 2023. The weather was fantastic, sunny the whole trip, and while I wasn't in Prestige (I bunked in a 2-person room), I spent the majority of my time in the Park Car where the staff treated me like a Prestige guest. I also loved everything Canadian, from the incredible staff on the train, Toronto and Vancouver (the two cleanest cities I've ever visited), to all of the Canadians I met along the way. I'll definitely be doing a repeat trip and spending more time in each city. Hope to see you on the rails. Take care.

[@Olyphoto7]

Happy New Year 🎆 Thanks for a year of great content.

[@jefferysmolinsky2247]

Happy new year both of you

[@Evan_Main]

Happy new year

[@RoflCopterDesigner]

re: what I *don't* want to see - I've come to frequent this channel in part for its reviews across multiple modes and multiple seating classes of transportation. I hope the channel doesn't consolidate into "first class every time" reviews like what Trek Trendy seems to have gone for in the past 3 months, as I'd find it boring to watch the same subcategory of content, and disconnecting as I'm not in a financial position to enjoy such amenities in any capacity. Cheers to you two, and have a Happy New Year 🍾

[@thewolfethatcould8878]

This year went way too quick. Soooo many neat videos, thank you guys!!!

[@__________________________8968]

you guys are so cool! i cant wait to see what you bring us next year! happy new year!!!

[@TammyMullins-tp5uf]

Have a happy new years 🎉😊

[@redspeedobcn]

Thank you for all the videos you presented! Great way to learn about flying, places we have never been to…. keep them coming. All the best in 2024!

[@deiveonmartinsen1831]

We loved the Queen Mary video so a big yes to more cruise content!

[@Kkyls]

I’d love to see Alaska Airlines hub hopping. Either way, really enjoy the content!

[@tomkennedy9968]

Love your videos, you guys are fantastic!

[@hollydavid69]

Love your work & chemistry.

[@kellibrown3859]

Hello Jeb and Suzanne! I discovered this channel a few months ago and I’m so glad I did. I always get excited when there’s a new video and I’m looking forward to more in 2024. This channel has reignited my travel bug and I have a trip to England planned for March.

[@GreenerGrass]

Thanks for joining us and happy travels to England!

[@DSingh4809]

Love your videos, one of the best part of my and I’m sure, others Saturdays.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Me too!😊

[@jbaldwin1368]

I would love to see reviews of the scenic railroads, especially the Cuyahoga Valley Scenic Railroad that I periodically volunteer on.

[@jerry8126]

thank you guys for all the entertainment in 2023. Jeb is great but Suzanne makes the videos so much better. Sorry Jeb. After a long week of working my wife and I love logging in and watching your latest videos. Love you guys and please keep making videos that make me and so many other like me make life worth living.

[@TimothyHorth]

Love the channel guys and can’t wait to see what’s coming this year for you. I’m hoping to see you guys take a few different cruise with the different companies out there. Blessing to you both!

[@TreyDawg22]

This was an awesome year for you guys. I am super happy that I found your channel this year! I really like your aviation videos!

[@jimc.goodfellas226]

Amazing year of travels guys, #1 fun couple on KZbin

[@arendlouw8178]

Thank you for all your hard work, guys, in 2023, really appreciated. Fly safely to provide us with seriously good information

[@tomo9613]

Another great year, well done to both of you. Looking forward to what’s coming up this year.

[@christianmukeba9646]

There's absolutely nothing i don't wanna see on this channel. i wanna see everything you guys are awesome and have inspired me to get my passport and start traveling. much love 🤍🤍

[@oldjake4233]

Wishing you lovely couple a very Happy New Year.

Happy New Year 😊

[@SerpicoDreams]

💗 Happy New Year!

[@MrCheddah13]

Thank you for all of the amazing content this year! It has been so entertaining watching you guys travel! Cant wait to see what the next year brings!

[@elteescat]

I really enjoy watching your channel! I found you guys by a completely random series of events: I like watching extreme cold survival camping videos for escapism and one of my camping channels took an Amtrak trip so KZbin suggested YOU guys! Yay! MORE escapism of a different kind! You guys are fun and informative and I might actually take one of the train trips you guys have done soon! Amtrak doesn't come to my area and I've never even SEEN an Amtrak train go by, but I'm tempted to go give a trip a try! Keep doing what you're doing! Your channel is awesome!

[@ronniedavis3273]

Great year guys and I love anything you put out! Keep them coming! Happy New Year to you!

[@JDAWGSABBATH]

Happy new year to you both. Can't wait to see the videos you have planned for this year

[@juliamorrison798]

I love all your videos! The Queen Mary 2 was my most favorite!

[@johnyyz423]

So great that your Canadian video was so successful. I’ve watched it twice. Well done.
