Can I fly to EVERY United Airlines Hub in ONE day?

United Airlines operates seven hub airports: Newark, Dulles, O’Hare, Houston, Denver, LAX, and SFO. In this video, I attempt to visit them all…in ONE day!
We’re calling this Aviation Marathon, “Hub Hopping!” and it was one of the most epic and challenging travel days!
With six connections, six airplanes and six crews, not to mention seven airports, plus who knows how many weather systems. A LOT could go wrong.
But, did I make it? Keep watching to find out!

Gotta say United is incredible when it comes to delays. A couple months ago I was flying from EWR to DEN via BNA. I was scheduled to have a 1h45m connection in BNA, but the flight was delayed 1h 43m. Thanks to United, I was able to make the 2 minute connection and arrived in Denver perfectly on time. Absolutely amazing.

[@vbscript2]

Honestly, I'm surprised to hear that United was connecting anyone at BNA, but glad to hear you made the connection! Southwest connects lots of people at BNA and AA and DL sometimes do, but that's kind of surprising for UA, given their relatively small presence here.

[@_w_w_]

I think Delta is just as good. I do a lot of connecting flights with Delta, and they also do a pretty decent job and making the connections. American, on the other hand, is very bad at it.

[@Originalman144]

They are more likely to wait a few minutes for you if they know you are very close because of a connection -- plus with everyone already onboard it's easy for you to walk on and find your seat. They can always make up the few minutes in the sky. If you never checked-in at EWR, of course they wouldn't of waited.

In Houston, sometimes its faster to walk between C and E. It depends on where the gates are at. Houston has an odd layout at the United gates. Terminal A (Delta, Spriit, AA, Frontier, JetBlue) is much more user friendly for figuring out where you are going. The gates are just grouped a lot better.

Since it's home, I've never had to do the full bore concourse dash at DIA, but far too many times I've run down the neon tunnel connection B and C concourses at ORD (the Rhapsody in Blue Sprint.) I've been out of hardcore flying for so long now, I didn't realize EWR was now the NY hub. When I was flying it was LGA, which I see from some of your other videos is now all new and nice and not all rundown and scruffy. Great job on this and your other adventures!

Jeb, this is a crazy day, but I'll have to one up you on this one (granted these were not United flights). Due to my dad being a super cheapskate when it comes to airline travel, after a visit to see a family member in Spain this was our return flights... Madrid > Paris > Copenhagen > Toronto > Washington DC > Chicago. This was all in one day! Due to our flight into Toronto being slightly late, we missed our connection from Toronto to Chicago even though we were there well ahead of time. Just missed the one hour baggage re-check-in time for flights into the US. So we had to take a slightly later detour of a flight to DC and then back to Chicago. Let's just say, dad is no longer in charge of booking the flights! This was a miserable travel day!

[@stanzislis9950]

You're right, airline operations are extremely complex. I live in DEN and been through all hubs numerous times just never in the same day. My preferred airline is United. I've been in some serious jams and United took care of me 99.9% of the time. For that I'm willing to forgive a lot and stay loyal! Thanks Jeb and United!

[@brendanbyrne1769]

I'm sure you know that UA considers Guam a hub as well. Now that would be a really long day, but due to the international date line you should still be able to do GUM-SFO (via HNL) -EWR (redeye) and back to LAX through the other hubs all in one calendar day! I think you should go for it.

​@@Ephigy1 I've seen a few videos from US networks perspective, which actually pointed out how ridiculous it's getting here. Unfortunately most Aussies are happy to put up with it and think things will get better if we keep locking down constantly. You can't travel to other states/territories (we only have 8) without an exemption, there are so many rules which at times make little to no sense, and even when things do get slightly better the state governments do snap lockdowns with no warning at the slightest of cases, which has resulted in 3 domestic trips of mine being cancelled in the past year. For example where I live, barbers aren't open (even by appointment, with masks etc) because they aren't considered "essential" so I can't get a haircut, yet 5 people can gather outside for a picnic, and supermarkets are open as normal where there'd be more of a chance of spreading Covid than at a barber by appointment. 5 people can also gather outside for sport, however personal trainers still cannot have classes and make an income, even if it's max 5 people. If you are unlucky enough to be considered a "close contact" to someone who has tested positive (like I was, just by being unlucky enough to be in the same place at the same time) then you must stay home for a 14 day quarantine and get 3 Covid tests, and even if your second Covid test after 5-7 days is negative, you STILL need to stay at home for the full 14 days. Luckily my employee pays out Covid leave, but I feel for people who lose income due to being an unlucky close contact and not doing anything wrong. So yeah, that's life here down under in the "Lucky Country" at the moment :)

Thanks so much! It was a fun one to make!

Hub hopping in Switzerland : Biggest airline : SWISS number of hubs : 2 (GVA, ZRH) Flight time between these hubs : 30 to 40 minutes

[@Neptunezeus]

That's because your country is small.

[@BenCuthbertson]

Such a cool, unique video Jeb! What an achievement 😊🛫🛬

[@roughshot60]

You sound way too enthusiastic for such a long day. I was exhausted just watching. Always entertaining and informative as always. Thanks for what you do...

[@BayAreaTraveler]

This was quite entertaining! I enjoyed this very much! Welcome to my hub, SFO!

[@robinps52]

That was fun!! While still a small operation, I’m glad United has returned to JFK. I always enjoyed flying w/them in the past, especially if O’Hare or SFO was involved.

[@zekeonstormpeak4186]

On Delta you have to hit JFK, LGA,BOS,CVG,ATL,DTW,MSP,SLC,LAX, and SEA. Possibly MCO, a mini hub!!

[@sameeranand6572]

Absolutely crazy, awesome video. As a Delta employee, I’d love to try this one day, but I think standby would make it even tougher.

[@_w_w_]

No worries, Delta will win this battle. JFK->BOS->DTW->ATL->SLC->SEA->LAX

[@sorrym8421]

Oh yeah flying standby we wouldn't stand a chance, especially if you only have a few years of seniority.

[@hilleltulchin]

You forgot Guam, which is technically a United hub.

[@akeemlawrence9750]

Technically NRT is also but…..

[@WrongVlad]

Lol a United monopoly

[@Lee247Jamaica]

@@akeemlawrence9750 don't you mean Deltas Hub

[@TysonIke]

Technically Tokyo, London, and Frankfurt are also hubs.

[@Lee247Jamaica]

[@tiger5551]

Denver is a good hub, always consistent with its level of service. The construction gets annoying getting off the train but it’s not bad.

[@CrystalClearWith8BE]

In this video, you might have missed Guam's airport which is also a United Hub, but the flight between SFO and GUM extends the hub hopping for more than 24 hours despite that Guam is just miles east of the Malay Archipelago, but unfortunately, SFO doesn't have a non-stop flight to GUM.

[@WhoDeyNati513]

Would love to see you do this for Delta. I'm thinking BOS-JFK-ATL-DTW-MSP-SLC-LAX-SEA.

What about LaGuardia. I know that going through LaGuardia would add a lot of time but it’s a delta hub

[@davebones6120]

Several comments: Neat idea. Good job, Suzanne. Denver is my favorite of these. Chicago is my nemesis. I hate to say this but it wasn't a fair test. By flying first class, you avoided the delays getting off the planes. Try this from row 30. Bet you would have missed the leg to Houston out of CHI. In my business travel days, I did get to each of these hubs. Only times I would run through the airport was for personal travel. Just wasn't worth it for business travel. My record was 12 legs in 5 days.

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Chicago is my favorite hub mainly because it’s close to me in Detroit [DTW] and also because I’ve never been to the others! 😅 I also guessed that you wouldn’t make it… 😮Sorry 😅

[@sethault4517]

Umm...you forgot Guam! 😁

[@islandbee]

Technically GUM (Guam) and NRT (Narita/Tokyo) are hubs of UAL too.

[@taylorreese7214]

We closed NRT and FRA. LHR is our only international base now.

[@islandbee]

@@taylorreese7214 - But, GUM is still a hub. Right? Do you work for UAL?

[@taylorreese7214]

Correct GUM is still a hub and yes!

[@islandbee]

@@taylorreese7214 - Cool. My sister is based out of SFO. Can't stand all of the CV19 mandates making traveling that much harder.

Whoever put that panda and llama up there was amazing and that they let it stay is awesome.

Great video. I once flew coast to coast on USAirways in under 24 hours for a job interview with a USAirways Express carrier in BOS. Departed SAN on a redeye flight at 10:45pm PT to PIT on a 757, connected onto an A319, and arrived in BOS at 8:30am ET. After the interview at the airport, I flew to CLT on an A320 at 12:30pm ET; connected onto a brand new A321, and landed in SAN at about 8:15pm PT.

[@JerryTLai]

Awesome! It's almost like the domestic version of the island hopper. 1MM UA flyer here, been to all the hubs many times. I don't know why the airports get such a bad rap, I think they are all decent (except IAD... that is a literal trailer park lol)

[@Yate_Haugan2]

United should offer you free flights for life for attaining this achievement.

[@bearb1asting]

I love watching this. It's like "oh. I remember that airport"

Please tell me you’re going to be able to fly the new United Supersonic / Concorde V2.0

DEN is my favorite United hub. It's such a huge and stunning airport. There's so much to explore there. On the other hand, ORD is by far my least favorite United hub. I feel like I always end up getting stuck there for some reason.

[@pblanco713]

Being from Houston and watching your channel it makes me a little sad you haven’t flown to Houston!

[@NGaming-45]

My hub is: NEWARK, my biggest delay is 10h :c

[@UTHookEmHorns73]

Best: IAH Worst: ORD You really need to do a Hub Tour of IAH. Voted best airport in 2020.
