Flying 5x AROUND THE WORLD & It Cost Me £___

It cost me how much?! What is it like to fly 120,000 miles in First Class during worldwide lockdown ... my most ambitious travel to date!
Follow my travels live on IG: will.luxurytravel
I started 2020 as many did, thinking this would be my year i'd travel more, see more and experience new places. I did indeed hit off the travel more part but under a totally different guise to what I'd expected. Wearing masks have become the norm whilst in airports, on planes and even on the ground in many countries around the world. The landscape of travel has totally changed.
I took a total of 60 flights throughout 2020, of course I can't feature all of these in one video but here are the highlights:
British Airways 787-9 First Class LHR - SJC
Delta 737 First Class SFO - LAX
JAL 777 First Class LAX - NRT
Asiana A330 Business Class NRT - ICN
Emirates A380 First Class ICN - DXB
Emirates 777 First Class DXB - LHR
British Airways A350 Premium Economy LHR - YYZ
Porter Airlines Dash 8-400 (One Class Economy) YTZ - MDW
British Airways 747 Business Class ORD - LHR
British Airways A320 Business Class LHR - GLA
Iberia A350 Business Class LHR - MAD
Iberia A320 Economy MAD - BRU
British Airways 787-8 Business Class AMS - LHR
Turkish A330 Business Class DUS - IST
Qatar Airways 777 Business Class IST - DOH
Swiss A340 Business Class ZRH - LHR
British Airways A320 Business Class LHR - AMS
Turkish 787-9 Business Class AMS - IST
British Airways 787-8 Business Class LHR - MAD
Qatar Airways A350-900 Business Class MAD - DOH
Emirates 777 First Class LHR - DXB
Emirates A380 Business Class DXB - LHR
British Airways A350 Business Class LHR - DXB
Etihad 787-9 First Class DXB - JFK

im convinced this man doesn't have an apartment/house and that he just lives in first/buisness class and hotels

[@mastersilence3446]

In one of videos he left his house.

[@mastersilence3446]

He lives in house

[@Trektrendy]

@@mastersilence3446 haha you are indeed correct, I live in a house 😂

[@bagelbob3979]

He has a house alright but its pretty cool he spends alot of time in the air on luxrious suites and stuff i mean isn't that something we all wish for 1st class seats and stuff?

[@flylikelinz]

He’s always banging on my door when he needs a place to stay in London. I won’t accept him or his Rona tests! his photoshop skills are just too good!

[@Harryavida]

I wish you'd set up a Patreon or similar, allowing subscribers real insight into how to pull off these amazing priced deals

Will, pls do more of these summaries. So nice to see how you grew and changed from a novice to an expert in travel. How your routines and habits evolved. How much you learned. Impressive . I wish I had traveled more during pandemic instead of staying stuck at home. Would also be nice to learn more about you, Millie, your fam, and what you do in between trips.

[@rem05033]

22 minutes into this video and I must say you are impressive! Fantastic so far. I subscribed. You should have a bright future on KZbin. Thanks for the the hard work you put into this!!

[@lordtare]

Really great review of the year! I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it!! Keep flying and keep posting

[@flight101]

When you said “ oh for gods sake” when that loo seat went up… thats the first time i have laughed in months… thank you, it means so much xx

[@rebeccapearce311]

In 2020, you flew 5 x around the world... in 2020, I lived in Melbourne, Australia where we had one of the world's longest lockdowns and I worked in paediatric intensive care.... definitely jealous! I'm about to have my first overseas flight in more than 3 years and cannot wait!

[@seank4568]

You are having the best time ever🙌

[@jooptrumesant365]

you really deserve it; I am sorry you had to suffer under such bad policies from ignorant politicians

[@lavernebell6274]

Being in Australia as well, we can only get a glimpse of how hard and utterly exhausting people like yourself went through working in the medical profession. To get away after so lingo I hope you had an amazing time. ❤

[@EOTB_Focus]

What a year you've had mate - I think all us #AVgeeks have lived vicariously through all your amazing videos. Looking forward to what you have in store for 2021

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks so much buddy. And remember without your expert help and advice over the years I’d never have been able to make half the content I’ve been able to. Happy NY my friend

[@keiranfoord4067]

Last time I was this early I had to wait 4 hours for check-in to open for my flight

Yes, I would try that swing on the roof. Also, thanks for showing how one can travel safely and still enjoy a vacation

Incredible video, Will! Looking forward to future content!

No way this guy affords this on his own.

I love when Will uploads. I also envy him for all the steak he gets to eat!

As an Australian who got locked 🔒 up for 2 years I am envious of your 2020 travels

[@dalehoward3704]

Your vids make me want to travel in luxury. Keep them up! 👍👍👍❤️

[@GlennG297]

Dude I know the feeling, back in March I got back from my flight from Mississippi and literally the next day “ England is in total lockdown” I didn’t get another flight till September when I went to Ireland for the first time with my buddy 😁

[@gregorybaker330]

A very genuine blog and if I and colleagues read them (extensive flights since 1976) then it must be good compared to other clowns like Chui and Cahill etc but Noel P very humble too. Safe travels and thanks for the laughs.

[@jasonchimes8838]

Great content Will can’t believe all that lot cost so little . Looking forward to the next one.

[@Trektrendy]

Thanks for watching Jason - yeah it's truly epic what's possible with miles/points. I did have some pretty crazy one off cash bookings too this year

Wow 😮 so cool!

[@ClareWitchbaby]

I NEED to know your tricks for miles and points! That is some seriously smart travel

[@felsull]

I absolutely love all your videos! So useful in planning my first holiday outside of the US since the pandemic. I do have a question--do you ever have a flight where it's so turbulent you haven't been able to film?

[@faithevans6689]

There was one video where he said he had one of the worst longest turbulence for about 20 minutes I believe going over Iceland but I’m sure he has had worse

[@planetamiau2321]

Excellent as usual. Cheers from Patagonia

[@kristalstueck3609]

I really enjoyed this video!! I'm surprised you did not get stuck in any countries and have to quarantine.

[@Nicki9202]

Hi, I started watching your videos yesterday and I have to say you are doing a great job on your videos they are to the point and you are giving some great advice. I am thinking about going on an overnight flight out of the United states and your videos are awesome and give me some great insight. Keep up the great job

Thank you for this wonderful glimpse of the world. I hope one day to experience the joy of travel

[@natalievegas]

I think my very favorite parts of your vids are your meals. Especially your desserts. Also seeing the bathrooms. That one airline you did, can’t remember which but the bathroom was huge! W a vanity table. How many of those sized bathrooms are on one plane I wonder?

[@shakesnbake]

Man, I miss flying with you! What a year you've had buddy! £160/flight is amazing but would accept nothing less from you :) Happy New Year and looking forward to your adventures in 2021 :)

I’m from Toronto and glad you went to Billy Bishop. It’s a great airport for short flights. Fun to take off in the city.

[@janaerich5313]

Ok so I’ve recently discovered this channel and I’m wondering a couple things: what does he do for work? And why are you going back and forth to the same places but only staying for a few hours or a day? Why not just explore for a couple days and then move on to a new place?

[@qwertpoiuy430]

Big part of his travels are just to review the planes. Also, when you travel, there’s a lot of layovers so it happens

[@narcissaclink3653]

They get paid for doing KZbin.

Wish he would wear some decent jeans not a good look

"On JAL...... discovering the bidet option on the toilet...." ----> CLASSIC! Hahahaha!

[@garyhumphrey3452]

I am from the UK and was in Australia in March 2020. I was stuck there for 10 weeks, luckily at my in laws so not paying for hotels. I managed to fly back in May and it was the most surreal experience. The airports were dead and the flights were super quiet. It was a mad experience

[@stackinvest8544]

Great Video 💯

[@petechrist6056]

Would be cool to see how to get the deals! How far out you had to book or how last minute you had to book.

Iberia: New A350, same crap service. We flew Iberia A340-600 Madrid to Johannesburg in around 2007. No IFE. Horrible food. It was worse than Ryanair. I still think that the BA Business Class seat you had from Amsterdam to Heathrow looks like you were crammed into a cupboard under someone's stairs. You could hardly get your backpack in there and when you were waving, you may as well have been waving at your family during visiting hours at the local jail. BA is certainly winning the race to the bottom and is followed by Turkish. We enjoy the champagne, beer, cognac, whiskey, wine and on and on when travelling (and even when not). Pro tip: Take a spare liver with you and swap it out at regular intervals.😁

[@Birdylockso]

Dom P2 and Cristal are just insane. I guess each First Class wants to out do the others. Does any airline First Class uses Krug VINTAGE?

[@skinyviny1]

It must be nice having no job and a bank account with a endless bottom. Mom and dad provided well

[@AMCAquatics]

£10000 hard to believe but I guess you spent more purchasing the additional air miles required but nice experience all the same. What about the accommodations cost and money spent also. If only I had the time I’d would have liked some tips to the cheapest fares. Enjoy!!!!

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Another great video of your adventures. May I enquire as to what camera equipment you use to film your vlogs please. Take care

[@Trektrendy]

Cheers Peter :) - I use a GoPro hero 8 for most of my vlogging footage then a Cannon G7X for B-roll

You should also do a flight to Mexico. Mexico is also a nice country especially around Querétaro and the ranches of Santa María de Los Baños y Chichimequillas. I´m actually currently here as I flew from Panama City, Florida to Dallas, Texas, then from Dallas, Texas to Querétaro, Mexico. Also since I speak Spanish most of the time, the people here is very easy to talk to.
