Tyler we also left Saigon in February this year, 4hr layover in Manila. 30minutes before our flight leaves for California they call my name report to gate 18 for luggage inspection. All for some knee medication. Almost missed my flight. I each time back thru security. I’m done with Manila next trip I schedule to Hong Kong then to Saigon. Been watching and telling people to watch you. I have learned so much from your videos. My wife is Vietnamese and we will probably be back the end of this year or at least before new years celebrations start 2025. I have a knee replacement in September then I’ll head back to good street food. Thanks again hope to meet you some day.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Yeah it was a hassle in that airport. Thanks I really appreciate it!

[@steves.9440]

Welcome back to the USA ! Enjoy your family, have a great time.

Thanks! 😃

Aww Trang is cute, she seems nice and friendly. Your family will love her!

[@diemle3996]

Let consider viet nam as your second country. We always welcome you guys coming back ❤🎉

[@ap774]

You guys make a cute couple, hope you’ll find a way to be together whether in Vietnam or the US. Seems like Trang could fit in California quite easily.

[@MikeeH626]

Welcome home, Tyler. Now, you're within driving distance (30 mins) from where I am. Unlike Vietnam, you won't be able to do any ally exploration here :). Have a nice and enjoyable stay while you're home - away from 2nd home. Looking forward to your vlog from the US of A!!!

[@BigTimeBentley]

yeah true I won't have many alleys to explore. Maybe I should do a "Good Morning America" daily vlog series?

[@yenbinhlam8655]

I hope you will be back to Viet Nam soon .have a great and safe trip 👍enjoy your time with your family 🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🍀🍀🍀🍀🍀❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Welcome back to 🇺🇸 🎉 Awaiting your Little Saigon video from California. Maybe one day Trang will go with you to visit the USA 🇺🇸

[@BigTimeBentley]

for sure! thank you! looking forward to making a Little Saigon visit and definitely looking forward to a future trip here with Trang too

Can’t wait to see you surprise the local Vietnamese Americans when you speak with them.

[@horstwassermann5957]

I was very moved hearing your story. Be proud of what you did.

[@eli1570]

Thanks for the real life video of the brutally long flight from Vietnam to LAX. You really gave me that anxiety feeling of flying to and from Vietnam. It is a real cattle cart feeling. Business class didn't look all that much better than Premium Economy, but costs thousand$ more. Keep up the good work, and I hope to see your culture shock video of life back in LA. I know that you will be shock at how much a typical MacDonald's meal will cost you in LA. Looking forward to the next video of life back in LA.

[@BigTimeBentley]

great idea for a video!

I don't know if I've done Eva Air before but yes, always aisle seating!

[@daisysaephan-souza6392]

Have a safe trip back home. 😊

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thank you! 😃

[@BarefootVlogger]

"Smells like history" best line of the video. My experience is anytime you enter a new country they make you go through security again even if you're just transferring to another flight. It does suck but I guess they have their reasons. Great job brother safe travels and welcome home!

haha that historical aroma

Man..I was in tears.

[@BigTimeBentley]

no need for tears it's just a temporary goodbye

[@TheNamDude]

Congrats on surviving the flight. It was brutal for us traveling with a 1 year old although we did a 24 hour layover in South Korea which was fun and helped to break it up. Two years ago we did Singapore to Seattle and that flight was 18 hours non stop and that was the worst flight I’ve ever been on! Have a good time while you’re back here in the states.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks Robert! Yeah that's a long one for sure. I did the Singapore to LA flight which was over 15 hours...made a video about that years ago one of the first videos on my channel

[@TheNamDude]

@@BigTimeBentleyI’ll have to go back and watch that. It was brutal from Singapore

[@fearfulflyer]

I’ve heard HCMC is building a new airport, but Vietnam Airlines will be the only Vietnamese airlines flying out of it. Hopefully that eases congestion at both

[@BigTimeBentley]

that would be great

I'm sure your going for your 2nd chance at Vietnam Trang must be sad you had to go :(

Oh man, you gotta make a stop up in San Jose too!

I don't think I'll make it up to Nor Cal unfortunately

Great video as usual, thanks! Does Trang have a KZbin or TikTok account? She’s great too.

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thank you! Not yet, but she's working on one!

[@anonymousperson2345]

I think it's better if you are connecting your flights from Vietnam to the USA in Japan or Korea.

[@BigTimeBentley]

I've done that too...but this ticket was significantly cheaper

I hope you'll come back to visit our Vietnam again when you have a chance :)

I'll be back in Vietnam soon

[@lindachu4379]

I love always watching your video and your moments with your girlfriend Trang. Did I miss the moment in the video with you saying goodbye to Trang before your trip as I did not see?

[@BigTimeBentley]

Thanks I'm really glad you like them...and no you didn't miss it...I didn't film that part

[@ChrissieSM]

What a beautiful post office! It was 11:20 when you entered it.

[@matthewatherton6083]

11:22am.... if the post office clock works lol

[@BigTimeBentley]

haha actually I had the time at 11:25...maybe the post office clock was a bit off (or my iphone was off)...in any case, very close guess!

[@mahlanie]

You missed the Solar Eclipse. Are you returning back to Vietnam and how long are you staying in the United States. Have Trang ever visited the United States?

[@BigTimeBentley]

I saw the solar eclipse yesterday. It was neat. I'll be here a few more weeks. Trang hasn't visited the US yet but she will in the future

[@retrotero76]

I try to leave the airport late at night. Last time immigration took me 5 minutes at midnight.

[@BigTimeBentley]

oh not bad at all

@@BigTimeBentley enjoy your time with your loved ones. I bet u find its way more expensive to live in California comparing to Vietnam, huh? That’s the downside alright.

[@BigTimeBentley]

@@laurale8155 thank you. Yeah things are definitely more expensive here

[@offhamsterwheel2789]

i agree about the airport, they dont have clear signs saying where the Security gate is, so i asked them green uniform guys , they asked for 200k, my firend said just give it, they proceed to let us go through without waiting in line, lol , express lane.

[@BigTimeBentley]

interesting strategy, may have to keep that in mind for the future

[@todaywaspretty6309]

Filipino ppl are very friendly. A lot of southeast Asians are friendly, Lao ppl are the friendliest and most genuine. But the problem is a lot of southeast Asians don't speak English.

[@leehaseley2164]

It took HOW LONG!!!!!! That is exactly how long it took me during Tết

[@quangtruong159]

Will you return to Saigon again??

[@BigTimeBentley]

in a few weeks

[@Msanabanana1973]

I can imagine doing a 14 hr flight 😢 I think it would be good to make a stop somewhere for a week or more - if traveling that far. If you don’t have to rush thru it I don’t see a reason to cross crossing the globe like that 😜 specially If you’re self employed

[@leehaseley2164]

I heard that the reason it is taking so long to renovate the cathedral is that they are importing ALL items piecemeal from France.

[@BigTimeBentley]

interesting...still think 7 years now is a bit too long

The problem is the battery in the Bluetooth speaker. Things with a rechargeable battery in places where you can deal with them if they explode 😊

[@33owls]

how long was the layover in Manila? We usually fly EVA and connect via Taiwan with a short 2 hour layover.

Same question as everyone else BTB, is this a temporary thing or are you leaving Vietnam for the foreseeable future?

Question, i am 5'3". Should i buy an extra leg room seat? Or regular seat is good enough for me?

[@BigTimeBentley]

Regular would probably be fine at 5’3”. Extra leg room would be more comfortable for anyone but at my height (6’2”) I’d say it’s more essential

The most stupid thing I ever had to do a few years ago going through a security check was taking of my Thongs ( flip flops ) when going through Ngurah Rai airport in Bali on my way back to Australia they even put them through the X Ray scanner !

To avoid all the hassle in TSN security operations you should take the special service called First Thing First in Vietnamese “Thũ Tục Đầu Tiên”. Only locals like Trang would know what it means.

[@BigTimeBentley]

interesting I'll look into it

[@ChrissieSM]

It is pointless to have luggage wrapped, because if the Customs people decide to check it, they will rip the wrapping, so you would have wasted your money.
