[@sla31]

This is flight 28 of 33 from my recent trip where I flew around the world. At the end of September through the beginning of October, I set out to fly around the Earth, and after 16 days, 13 airlines, 33 flights, and over 38,000 miles, I landed back in Kansas City, Missouri after visiting 13 different countries. Over the next 2 weeks I'll be posting these flights in order, so you too can take this incredible journey, exactly as I did! The flights will be posted every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday until all 33 flights are live! So, check back three times every week to take this incredible journey with me!

Yess!! Finally flights out of Nassau, Bahamas❤😍love it!!

Deboarding or boarding a widebody by stairs is so fun! You can get a close up view of the engines, APU sounds and even touch the plane! I wish all airports would go to from Jetbridges to Stairs. It’s more exciting

And he's off on the next leg of his Super Amazing Race around the world, another step closer to the Grand $10 million prize. Wow. Those are some SERIOUS cumulonimbus clouds there. I was watching First Daughter (1999) and then, I switched over to your latest aviation adventure. In this movie, the President's daughter gets kidnapped by domestic terrorists while white water river rafting in the Colorado wilderness. But the good news is that Mariel Hemingway was the SS Agent who was determined to take these guys out and rescue the First Daughter. Anyhow, another fine Super-Awesome video on your part. The weather is dry, sunny at times and about 50 degrees. 2 years ago on this date, we had that ice storm which absolutely shut EVERYTHING down, even the ferries and mail. If you had tried to fly here back then, your flight would've been cancelled. But no White Christmas for us this year. Not like 2017 when we had BOTH a White X-Mas Eve AND a White X-Mas morning. That was a snowfall for the record books. My GF built a Christmas Snow Woman on our front lawn.

Great fly! Wow that is the biggest wing that I ever saw that blocks view the most...

[@sla31]

You can thank BA for that. They swapped equipment at the last minute and my seat behind the wing was moved to this one, right over the wing.

[@z90777]

Fantastic 👍

[@sla31]

Thanks my friend!

28:33 What alert is that?

[@sla31]

LOL I forgot that was in there. The storms that passed through while we were on the ramp caused that to go out. For flash flooding or something. I don't remember the exact reason. But clearly someone next to me got it a bit delayed haha.

[@tankman_tv9332]

28:34 did an EAS alarm go off?

[@beastflys]

I just heard this and got so freaked out for a second. Probably some national alert on someone’s phone.

[@JohnShields-xx1yk]

There have been plane crashes because the pilots didn't have the airplane configured for takeoff, imagine having that seat and seeing the slats not down for takeoff, I'm sure some passengers saw this just before the crashes.

[@paulvincent3299]

Did you choose the over-the-wing seat for the legroom or the view? lol

[@sla31]

I didn’t choose to sit over the wing. This was BA’s doing. I chose to sit in the exit row behind the wing exit door. A perfect spot to sit on the 777-200. BA then chose to swap equipment to a different 777-200 configuration two hours before departure, after everyone had already checked in. So, being a full flight, every other seat was taken. My seat, moved from behind the wing to this location, and there was nothing else open for me to move to. Unfortunately, this happens sometimes. You know what they say about the best laid plans…. I tried to get something else when the swap happened and there was literally nothing else open. As I’ve said before, I don’t ever intentionally sit over the wing.

[@pumby78]

The wiew on the wings above Caribbean sea !!! not good. Sorry :(

[@sla31]

Unfortunately there was nothing I could do about this. I was supposed to be seated behind the back exit door. Giving myself, and you, a great view. Then British Airways swapped the plane for a different configured 777-200 2 hours before departure. So my seat, which was behind the wing, was now directly over the wing. Nothing I could do about it at that point. Everyone else had already been assigned seats and there was nothing for me to move to. Unfortunately this happens sometimes. I plan meticulously to prevent this from happening, but sometimes even the best laid plans fall apart. In this case, having the flight posted is better than not at all.
