Saying Goodbye: Checking In 19 BAGS on a Flight!

Well, this is the end of the road for the UK as we begin our new lives in the USA. To get there we had to check in 19 bags on a flight.

Your video brings back memories. About 5 years ago my family and I moved from São Paulo, Brazil, to London. We decided to leave everything behind due to the complexity of dealing with ship containers, and take with us only the essentials. That meant a total of 24 checked in cardboard boxes, each one with 23 kg, plus a couple of carry-ons. We flew BA and they were extremely welcoming and helpful when they heard we were moving to ol' London. Even though I'm watching this video 5 months after being published, Godspeed on this amazing adventure!

I hated to see her go but I actually understood, after visiting other countries and seeing what they were like and how those people got along and then coming back here and having to deal with the crazy mess we have. No, I didn't move there only cuz I hate cold wet weather.

By the way, I sincerely hope living in America brings you and your family much joy, prosperity and happiness! My family from Spain did the same thing in the 90s and moved to the D.C. suburbs of Alexandria, Virginia, where I lived with my mom. After selling everything they owned in Madrid and cashed in their chips, as it were, they became homesick and thru all went back 4 months later.😂😂 But they were older and didn't drive and getting around wasn't as easy as Madrid. Incidentally, my claim to fame is hitchhiking across the United States in the 80s and stepped foot in every state in continental US. Harris County Texas always scares me because it seemed them and now they have such a large murder rate. I fell in love with Alanta, Georgia out of all the places I've been though I settled in San Diego eventually... I hate California....

The only airport security I've experienced that was worse than Manchester was in India. When I was in Manchester they were pulling most bags for secondary screening... it felt like they were desperately trying to hit a quota for found items or something. With me they were so proud when they thought they'd found something, then so deflated when I pointed out it was just earphones in the drawstring bag they were supplied with. They didn't even check, they knew the moment I said it and just handed my bag back to me with a sullen look.

[@furiousgriz]

The quota isn't for found items, the quota is literally the bags themselves. They easily know what's in the bags from the x-ray but will use things like small electrical items as a "reason" the bag has been pulled for search.

Hope you’re all lovely and settled now in America! We moved from the UK to Malaysia when I was 5 and my sister was 8 weeks old. My dad had to fly over early so my poor mum was left alone with me and my sister and I can still remember pushing a trolley full of bags as my mum pushed a pushchair and pulled bags (the old school suitcases that had 2 wheels in one corner) and not one person stopped to help! This was the early 90’s so no security really which helped. We got 4 free flights back to the Uk for trips a year so I became very apt at juggling bags to help my mum with my sister. Also when you could go into the cockpit and BA did a passport for my teddy, who got through a few, flew with them and Malaysia airlines (lived in a remote corner of the NE of the country so had to fly from KL) that I knew lots of the pilots of air stewards. It’s what gave me my love of flying and airlines!

[@anerdtravels]

Part of my long-term plan is also to move stateside - glad to see you have had a chance to follow your dream. Best wishes with settling into your new lives in the states!

[@NovemberReigne]

You will be fine and I wish you the best

[@v1__rotate]

To both you and your family, welcome to the USA 🇺🇸, and specifically, my home state of Texas 🇨🇱. May you find it welcoming and I truly hope you all enjoy your new lives here

[@noelphilips]

Thanks for that!

[@metrovic]

Wishing you and your family all the best for your new life across the pond. I can see why you chose Texas, every time I have visited there people are so friendly and the climate is (usually) very agreeable.

[@jessiib12]

Welcome to the USA Noel and family! So glad you guys are settling in nicely and enjoying life. Best wishes to you for the future and all it holds.

[@AmericanEnglishBrent]

Man, I made a move like that about 20 years ago. In hindsight, I would have sold everything and bought new stuff on arrival.

[@mholtebeck]

I think my brother and SIL will do that when they move from Honolulu.

[@rahuldahoob4513]

Interesting....

[@death_jsp]

Noel - wish you and your family the best wishes going to USA, as an immigrant myself I learned to love the USA. I won’t lie, it’s going to be tough but it’s worth it, I still love your around the world in economy video and it’s still my favorite, I rewatch it here and there.

[@janeckhardt6032]

So good to have you here in the US. Welcome to your new home❤❤. Hugs from Iowa

[@noelphilips]

Thank you so much!!

[@CodydaUwUCawio]

Welcome to the US! Hope you found a nice place to stay, you'll love the good parts of this country!

[@brianjrichman]

HAHAHAHA.... Fun video. I emigrated from the UK to USA (Fort Worth) 21 years ago. I share your frustration over the container... I rented a half container for the trip. Took 3 months to get to me!!! Going to Austin today from Fort Worth too. Never dreamed I'd say that about my life when I was growing up...

[@mileshigh1321]

Can hardly wait to hear Noel's UK/Texas drawl !

[@suzanneterrey4499]

It will start with a clipped "y'all".

[@tungskyline]

Happy for you mate! Wish you and your family happy life in the USA!

[@michaelblack1864]

Wish you and the family well on a new journey. Living the dream!

[@declanmckeown323]

Welcome to the states! We are happy to have you!!

[@sianwilliams7195]

Fair play Noel, that's one hell of an achievement.

[@Ljclive719]

Welcome Noel and family. I hope the Texas weather helps your wife’s medical conditions as I know we suffer similarly and I always do better in dry warm climates

[@suzanneterrey4499]

Warm climate doesn't begin to describe Houston...lol. Hang on during Summer, I guarantee it will get "warm"!

[@joelawrencetheboy4929]

I'm sat here watching this video so happy for you guys. But also so envious. We have spoken about doing this move for a long time. I'm hoping one day we get to experience the same adventure feelings you all are. Congratulations!

[@davidroonmeister]

this is amazing. Noel i'd love videos focusing on you adjusting to life in america!

[@philiproseel3506]

Welcome to the US. As a Belgian living in the US, I can say that it's an amazing country to live in. The best? Not sure. One of the best, certainly. Good luck on your future travels.

[@staceyjohnson2929]

Aw Noel! We would have loved to have you in GA. It isn't always cloudy here, I promise! Glad you are in the US though.. We are happy and excited to have you!

[@davidlazarus67]

I am surprised you didn’t use a luggage forwarding service. It’s actually price competitive to excess luggage fees. Upto £115 per bag, saves struggling through baggage collection and transfers to your final destination.

[@miketech79]

It’s only really 1.16 bags extra than the normal 2 allowed international bags. And Noel probably has Star Alliance gold status so he got 1 bag extra for him too. You’re right on the convenience, but not right on the cost.

[@miketech79]

And if they brought 6 bags as carry ons out of the 19, then that actually is only 0.16 bags extra per person.

[@davidlazarus67]

@@miketech79 Some airlines give additional luggage allowance for everyone in the group because of the elite status of the person booking. So everyone with 32kg instead of 23kg is very useful rather than pay the extra charges. You are right about the convenience over the costs. Though it can make sense depending on how complicated your journey is. I have looked at such options before because I live miles from the airport and it can turn a shopping trip with extra baggage into a much easier option. It would allow me to take a helicopter as a bonus.

[@teresahill6356]

All the best to you and your family in your new home. Looking forward to more videos Happy 🎅

[@debbieaz3956]

Great Job Sam!

Noel and Family, Welcome to America! You hit a bullseye picking Texas! 💪🙏

[@AviaEboyRBX]

To Noel and family, welcome to the US! We are very honoured having you here in the United States. I might move to the UK in the future, but Im not 100% too sure.
