I’ve flew with Ryanair quite a lot on business trips. And I can honestly say I’ve never had a bad flight with them. I can’t understand why they get so much bad press. They get you there on time and their cheap as chips ,what more could you ask for.

[@typhoontim125]

Exactly...there's a lot of snobbery when it comes to Ryanair...The same people who complain are the very ones who are secretly delighted to save a few quid to fly them. Ryanair provide an excellent service at amazing prices.

[@Zhinix04]

@@typhoontim125 the surprise extra charges is the annoying bit with them. if you got check-in, you first pay quite a bit for that, and if it weighs a few grams over, they want to charge you 60-80 euro for overweight.. (once had 100 gram according to the airport scale, and they wanted to get 80 euro out of me for overweight... I took off a luggage tag and suddenly the weight was below 100 gram (minimum scale registration), and she was happy and checked in my bag :P (she was very nice and even put my tag back on after attaching the barcode strip)

I go to Spain and Tenerife from Liverpool a lot.Ryanair is the airline for me.You do great vlogs.Stay safe.

[@tristangorman]

8:58 Don't know if this shot was purposeful or not, but, your favourite is right behind you ;)

[@creator60]

Agree. Ryanair are great if you request assistance with boarding. That wheelchair access to the aircraft put us on board first.

[@ZinoFromWhere]

Considering he spends a lot of time in the air it was pretty wise from Noel to say positive things about Iran 😂

[@HH-bi7yk]

Absolutely brilliant travel Guide,I wish I was doing your job.👍

[@jaguarized]

"I don't know where I'm going. I'm really quite curious where this is gonna take me." So who booked the flights? A bit more on the story on the bookings is appreciated.

[@CallieMasters5000]

He books the flights, makes up the envelopes, then knocks himself out into a coma before waking up to be surprised by his itinerary. Or he has his wife do it.

[@TDUTOM]

Callie Masters hahaha yes!

[@donaldharvey7511]

He shouts out his wife 'Rach', when he is in Dubai. So I can only presume that it was her. Agreed that a bit of explanation would have been useful. An idea of what Noel got up to next and how he got home would also have been interesting!

[@DivaRockFaster]

His wife did.

[@nataliab5669]

Donald Harvey another video may be coming. He showed some stuff he did in Nepal on his Instagram story

[@thesampsoninstitute]

It's so crazy to me that he goes to all these awesome places and shows nothing except the inside of the planes.

[@davidebasso4275]

Why are flydubai flight crew so kind?😍

[@realSethNG]

11:50 how was your time here??? 😂😂 He didn't have any time there 🤣🤣🤣

[@briangasser973]

Noel, it looked like you boarded early for most of your flights. Ryanair looked empty when you got on and the overhead bins had lots of empty space available on each flight. How much did that add to the ticket? Also wasnt the cost of a window seat assignment additional?

[@NorthernAviation]

Awesome video once again. You genuinely can’t go wrong with Ryanair I would fly them any day of the week..

[@awaywithpaul3423]

Second challenge video of the year and it only January! You spoil us Noel 😊 . Genuinely gobsmacked that you could get to Nepal for £140 quid. Those FlyDubai seats looked too cramped for me but the prices of some of those flights was astonishing. Actually tempted to do a mini version of this myself on a week off. Those sleep pods were a superb idea, well worth it for a bit of an escape from the terminal and a bit of shut eye. Really looking forward to seeing Nepal in the next video and curious to know if you could do a lowest faire around the world challenge? If you can get to Nepal for £140... what can you do the world for? Great work

[@andrewellis9588]

Such a unique challenge! Really enjoyed this video man! Keep up the good work!

[@cptmm4061]

I just guessed randomly Budapest for the first flight. My reaction was amazing 😂😂

[@jimbobalob2009]

Wow u mind reader

[@TheNewVaultOfKnowledge]

I liked this video. I'd like to see more like this where you don't know where you'll end up, but it's a totally different experience & direction across the globe

[@paulkazzer]

How much did it cost you to get back home?.Fascinating adventure.

[@dazlebluefrogify]

he can't reply he's still stuck in Kathmandu ,Rachel has emptied his credit cards accounts !! LOL ?seriously great trip report as always ,enjoy your journey home in business ? or did you try low cost the other way back to STN?

[@markfromlodz]

My favourite video. What a great idea --- and what a great (if tiring!) experience. Who would ever imagine you'd end up in Nepal?!

[@cochlearkid]

cant wait to see your Lukla video and the video of your return trip back to Uk (was this a direct or was it multi stops?)

[@stephencox9615]

I bet he flew back first class direct😁

[@noelphilips]

Flight home was with Etihad stopping in Abu Dhabi.

[@cochlearkid]

@@noelphilips question is, was it eco or business class lol

[@Hillbillyfunnycpl]

I loved this video Noel. Now I am anxious to see how you get out of Nepal and where you go from here....great video.

[@amc3]

Rach is such a caring wife booking you these lovely flights, she got you to Everest Base Camp for less than 122 quid .... what a girl! Only one slight issue, no "Knee`s Up Mother Brown" when you fly - flydubai - .. Love your passion for flying, you Plane Crazy mate. Agree about Ryanair, did 19 flights in the last 11 months, 7 with Ryanair and all were great, more legroom then British Airways :))

[@paulsengupta971]

Actually about the same legroom as British Airways as BA have recently reduced theirs to try and compete with the low costs. Ryanair don't have a seat back pocket though, so it may seem better. 737 aisle seats are better than window seats.

[@loriannpayne4483]

What a fun video! Good to know about Fly Dubai airlines. Hope you had fun in Nepal. We hope to go there too. Well done!
