I took a flight on Dominican's most infamous airline Red Air, which turned into a crazy flight with a battered old airplane and a booking system just to use the loo!

Noel - 'Rachel didn't want to send me to Venezuela, it's a bit kidnappy there' Also Noel a few years back- 'Welcome to this challenge where i let Rachel pick random cheap flights to send me somewhere, on ancient planes mostly on airlines banned in europe thanks to their safety records, making flight paths over active war zones, into dangerous airports' Either she loves you more now, or that life insurance policy doesn't pay out for Kidnap 🤣

I LOVE it when Rachael flies with you. As a woman with an "invisible" disability (I have multiple sclerosis) that makes it very difficult for me to walk longer distances, it's astounding that so many "service" professionals assume that if one doesn't LOOK disabled, they must not be. I appreciate so much that Rachael is willing to talk about her experience, and you being willing to speak to it in a vlog. The more we can do to make this lack of empathy and helpfulness known the faster we can get it changed. Thanks Noel and Rachael. This is one of my favorite vlogs ever!!!

Next time you do the Aussie thing you must come to Tasmania the flight from Hobart to Port Davy is fantastic and its the only way in and out (apart from boat) No roads and very few folks ...one of the last great wilderness areas.

I have a close friend with Fibro, and it's quite debilitating. I have suffered from nerve damage (sciatica) and I think it's quite similar- very painful and your legs can just go straight out from beneath you, even if you are otherwise a strong person (and Rach clearly is). Hugs and good health wishes, Rachel!

Great video! Thanks to you and Rach doing a video a few years back on flight assistance I was able to pass this on to my mum who had a fall whilst on a coach tour in Austria and was badly injured. As she was in hospital the coach had to leave for home without her and arranged a flight home. I let mum know about flight assistance and they were able to wheel her through the airport, onto the plane with my stepdad, and out the other side. It was a godsend so thanks to you both for sharing openly your experiences as it helps us at the most unexpected times.

I was lucky enough to get on a Delta Md88 a few months before they were retired. One of the. best flights I've ever had. The FAs were amazing, and we specifically told them that we were flying on the MD 88 for nostalgia. They gave me a tour of a plane once we landed, and it was amazing. They even gave me an entire bag full of Biscoff. (like the ones catering delivers them with). The aircraft itself was impeccably maintained considering it was 30+ years old at the time.

I flew on the AA "Super 80" in the 1990's between YYZ and SFO back and forth a few times and I can recall there wasn't much "Super" about them. Basic commuter trains / busses in the air. Saying that, I used to get a seat in the back so that the roaring of the engines would lull me to sleep, similarly with the last of AA's 727 fleet. Great review and unfortunate about the unavailability of wheelchair assistance at MIA - been there, done that before while escorting a mobility challenged individual with noone at the gate.

As a fellow Fibro Warrior I completely understand what she, and of course you as her hubby goes through on a daily basis with this never ending, life controlling condition! The good thing is to keep going, obviously within your limits, and Rach does so well with the travelling, as I know that some days just having something as simple as a shower takes it out of you completely. I'm currently living on the couch after a nasty fall and snapping my Tibia in 2 places, and Fibula below the knee and having a rod fixation, and naturally Fibromyalgia doesn't play ball when something else is going on. This has however given me plenty of time to binge watch all of your brilliant videos! Luckily like Rach I also have a brilliant caring hubby that understands everything that this condition can bring us. I look forward to watching many more of your amazing adventures and Thank you for bringing Fibromyalgia into conversation as you will know it isn't a well known, understood or researched condition ❤❤

The quintessential odd couple. Noel, the eternal optimist, and Rachel, who takes a decidedly jaded view of life. But remarkably, it all seems to work out. High marks to you both. I suspect that a well developed sense of humor, and mutual affection, are the bonding agents. Never heard of bathroom reservations before, on any airline. Whatever can the reason be? Not quite as bizarre as that flight you took across the Gulf of California, Noel. The pilot got distracted or fell asleep, and went off course. A good thing you are a licensed private pilot, Noel. It could come in handy.

My wife has Essential Tremor which makes travelling challenging sometimes due to her mobility issues. Most of the airline staff is very accommodating, except recently travelling on Singapore Airlines SQ22. Earlier on SQ21 the crew allowed her to use the handicapped toilets which are in Business Class. We were seated about 15 feet away in Premium Economy. The Premium Economy toilets were not handicap, and were much further away. On SQ22 I was given a stern warning about her using the handicap toilets. I explained what we had been told on SQ21, but it didn’t seem to matter. What was even worse is that the Chinese (they were speaking Cantonese to a different flight attendant) passengers sitting across the aisle from us were also using the business class toilets and weren’t told about it. I have emailed Singapore Airlines, but have heard nothing back.

Most Singapore Airlines passengers have good things to say about them but they went on my "try to avoid" list about 20 years ago after several very disappointing experiences and I haven't used them since.

You lucky duo! Getting on an MD80 like that! What a beautiful example, inside & out. Never flown on one of those. However, have flown the 8 & 10 in 1980 & 95. The greatest airliners, in my humble opinion

Thanks to your wife for her openness. I also found the info on how accommodating to physical needs the airport and airline are. ❤

I can sympathize with your wife. I've had fibromyalgia for 50 years and back issues from years of lifting as a nurse.

Thank you for explaining your wifes medical issue. I have wondered and suspected that it. I have a friend who's daughter has the same problem and please let you lovely better half know my heart goes out to her. I also have neck and back issues from a plane crash during the Vietnam way and I know that some days you wake up and feel great and try to do a little more than you should and then the pain you go through for over doing it. It is nice to see you both on the flights together though. I hope you are loving Texas, but Florida is better (LOL). If you are ever in the Tampa area and need a guide around Florida just let me know you are always welcome in our home here

Rachel is a hoot! "You'll have to drag me off this plane"! 🤣 I am like Noel and would give my right arm to fly on a MD-80, or better yet a DC-9 again! The only MD designed products still flying commercially within the US are the Hawaiian B-717 and the Delta B-717. There are a few MD-80's, but they are charter. Internationally I think it's just this airline from Dominican Republic and Laser Airlines from Caracas.

Hey Noel, how has your family being doing after living in the US for awhile? Did your kids adjust well? I'm very happy you picked the US as your home. Good work on the video and have a great day!

Nostalgia! Flew thousands of miles on American Airlines MD 80’s (Mad Dogs) over the years. Loved the plane with AA then. Loved this vlog. Cheers!

Loved the 3-2 setup on the MD models with the wife and myself being plus sized people.. Dozens and dozens of flights on all of the U.S. airlines. I quit using wheel chair assistance when traveling with mom. I just push her myself...
