What a beautiful tribute to your friend and mentor. RIP

[@mrnoah1124]

Man the excitement when I see a new video from you, Paul! Thanks so much for all you do. Can’t imagine the time that goes into these videos! So much appreciated. One of the things on my bucket list is seeing the northern lights. Hopefully next year!! So sorry for your loss! Neil sounds like a great guy to have in your life. Thankful I have someone like that as well. Thanks for all you do for us!

[@mylayoverlife]

That’s so nice of you. Appreciate you being here.

[@daba3]

Sorry for your loss. World today needs more people and pilots like you. Always watching your videos and in that way visiting all the cool places in the world.

[@TheMontverdetilly]

My heart felt sympathy for the loss of your good friend and mentor. He inspired you to believe in yourself and live your dream life.

[@mylayoverlife]

Thank you so much.

[@jantaylor]

So sorry for your loss but I am glad you got to chat with him one last time. Thanks for your videos. We ❤ them so much.

[@nickkarebian]

You are such a great person Paul, truly, one of a kind. God bless you!

[@scottgoode9874]

Absolutely fantastic to hear about a special man who helped you to become the pilot you are today.

[@mpetrino7330]

Paul hi from Alberta, Canada. As a 40 + year business traveler I've racked up my fair share of air miles. I always take advantage of long layovers or extended my travel stays to explore the special places of this world too. Fortunate my employer allows us to retain our travel points for personal use. However you take layovers to a whole other world and I love it. Your personality is infectiously positive and fun look forward to each posting. A moment of silent recognition to your mentor and friend. Thanks for sharing your special places,

[@robertmonaghan5420]

Your Videos Are Awesome! Can't Get Enough of Them. Please keep Making Them

[@andrehli]

Sorry for your loss! Long time subscriber from Iceland here, glad you had a great layover! 🇮🇸👍

[@jenniferlawrence9598]

Thank you, Paul, and thank you, Neil, for being what so many need but rarely get.

[@_echobravo]

Mentors at pivotal moments in our lives are invaluable. Now here you are, the seasoned captain, with the opportunity to affect people in a positive way as Neil did (in his own way) all those years ago.

[@lyndaplancarte4895]

Very respectful tribute to your friend and mentor Neil.

[@christao408]

Beautiful video. Thanks for sharing your memory of Neil. It sounds like he made a huge difference in your life, as I am sure you do in the lives of many other people. Thanks for the invitation to donate in his name, which I just did.

[@imzeus3865]

What a beautiful tribute to your friend and mentor. I love how passionate you are. This world would be a better place if it had more Paul's in it. Wonderful video! I love how adventurous you are.

[@angelacampan5799]

we love your videos. You have a wonderful family. God bless you all.

[@bmused55]

I do not know Neil Meyer and had never heard of him until I watch this video. But I could see the pain in your eyes. I mourn for him today along side you. Godspeed and tail winds to you, Neil.

[@CptShaquilleOatmeal]

I’m sorry for your loss. And although you don’t know me from a can of beans I want you to know I’m working hard towards my commercial rating and your videos have got me through some dark times. Last week I had a flight home for a family emergency and it was your longest domestic flight video that took just enough off my mind to unwind. But there’s many more so thank you and me and my daughter look forward to the next one!

[@kyrieeleison7328]

Came back to watch this a second video! I enjoyed it that much! Thank you Paul ✈️

[@hx7193]

RIP Neil Paul I have just recently started watching your vlogs and I often get teary eyed by them ( in a good way ) I was cabin crew for British Airways ❤️ flew all over the world and met so many people . I left after my parents passed away 3 years ago who I also cared for as well as flying .I was due to go back recently but decided not to. 😢 Thank you so much for these vlogs

[@DiZimmer]

So sorry for your loss of a dear friend and mentor Love your adventures ❤

[@skyfall2442]

Hats off to Neil Meyer❤️❤️

[@LiveInSydney]

Lovely homage to Neil…. He must of been so proud of you also! Bernie in Sydney x

[@iPlayOnSpica]

Technically, they're plates more so than continents, but it's cool that you got to see that unique natural border!

[@frankfarrelly5215]

Outstanding Captain Paul✈️

[@briansaanich2624]

Your tribute to your long-time friend was very moving, Paul - as are so many of your videos.

[@veenarasika1778]

A moving tribute to your friend. May Neil RIP. My heart felt condolences to you on your loss.

[@marycrawford4421]

One of your best videos yet, Paul. Thank you!

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

Paul posts great videos.

[@crosnf]

Oh Paul, i am so very sorry for your loss. Your friend was lucky to have a mentee like you, who is such a stand up man and great human being. I just lost my best friend to cancer as well a few weeks ago. Flew to his funeral (United EWR to Geneva) and was wondering if i would see you on that flight.

[@debmcgimpy5958]

In so sorry to hear of the loss of your friend. How wonderful you had him in your life. As always love your adventures and videos; never enough for me!

[@itsnotme07]

Another awesome video Paul! Iceland is on my bucket list, but during the summer months...because this New Englander has ditched the cold for Texas. haha. So sorry to hear about your friend and mentor Neil. No doubt we all have someone like Neil that guided us, maybe without us even knowing. I have had several of those people in my 40 year IT career. My first one....without revealing his name...GCP....this one is for you! Thanks for being my first boss and best boss as well as a friend/mentor! Will he ever see this post? Doubt it....but I'll be sure to let him know next time we talk.

[@afhyoutube]

Love the videos. Wish you posted more often.

[@craigchadwick2504]

Wow! The N number 58101 or nose number 101 is the first 757 Continental Airlines purchased back in the early 1990's. I've taxied this plane. I worked for Continental then and United now. Tech ops. I'm always on the look out for this plane and it holds great memories for myself. I enjoy your videos.

[@paulmark63]

So sorry to here this what a inspiration to you wonderful piece at the end to dedicate to Neil

[@stevestibbons1789]

Fantastic video, you are a soft lad , which we love about you, never be ashamed to show your emotions. RIP Neil ✈️👍🏼

[@PCBill0622]

Your videos are so classy. Thank you for sharing about Neil. There’s a song “I can only imagine”. For Neil I can only imagine.

[@silentanomaly3697]

My heart is with you on your loss…my son is currently in college pursuing aviation…should be soloing soon…been sharing ur videos with him…we have a similar program here that Neil volunteered called Pilots for Patients…need more of those programs around the country😊

[@nickedwards212]

I'm so sorry to hear of the very sad news of your good friend Neil.😢 He sounded like he was a fantastic gentle man and I just hope he was in no pain. R.I.P Neil.💐

[@jtavi8ion]

Awesome video. I will defintley keep some of these places in mind. Its been on my bucket list to visit Iceland one day. Im so sorry to hear about the loss of your friend. He sounds like an amazing pilot. May he fly high forever,

[@Mlgraham22]

Powerful episode! You’ve learned well from great people. Until the last segment I was gonna ask why people park on the top level of parking decks, unnecessarily exposing the car to the weather. But never mind. I am subscribing to all your recommendations!! Take care and carry on!

[@mylayoverlife]

Haha. I park there because it makes for a better shot. 😂

[@timgraymatter]

That was a touching tribute to your mentor!

[@adriana7144]

What a special video. I’m so sorry for your loss. Neil sounds like a very special person. I have made a donation to Wings of Mercy.

[@mylayoverlife]

Oh wow. Thank you so much.

[@TheGlobetrottingSwede]

Sorry for your loss ❤

[@kengrant9897]

Sorry to hear of your loss, Paul.

[@DemarioChambers]

I literally just said yesterday that i needed a new layover life long form. Awesome job!

[@rmi813]

Love the videos. Passed thru MSP a few weeks ago heading to Montreal and was hoping to bump into you. Be safe.

[@RivelKAMP]

Yes new video, what a start of the weekend!

[@paulcoolidge1140]

So very sorry to hear about the loss of your mentor! 🙏

[@IrishDave]

I really appreciate how well shot and edited these photos are. Sometimes we take the imagery for granted but the angles and creativity you show in your productions, are really well done.

[@davidblocher1949]

Great video, Love seeing you the United commercial!!!

[@welcometomylife6478]

I am so sorry for the loss of your friend and mentor - what a beautiful tribute. Thank you for yet another stunning video...

[@rds9091981]

Love it

[@tomgillotti]

Just had my Winging ceremony Friday. Excited to be here and start my journey! Would be awesome to fly with you someday!

[@mylayoverlife]

Look forward to seeing you around campus!

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

My Aunt and her boyfriend use Newark Airport when they travel. Live in Northern NJ. I’ve been to Newark on layover. Only 45 minutes flight to Albany, NY.

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

I’m in Upstate New York, Capital Region. I use Albany International. Can’t usually get direct flights to where I travel. So I’ve been to many airports. Chicago O’Hare many times and Charlotte.

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

Love your videos, Paul. 😊

[@julianwang9015]

Love it I am a big united airlines fan

[@stuartporter4400]

Donation made Paul, Sorry for you loss.

[@laurenm6511]

I would love to go to Iceland. I haven't been on a plane since the late 90s when a trump shuttle missed the runway ... But i beat cancer. So im over it. Just poor. Honestly you have helped me get over my fear. Thank you so much

[@patriciafuchs5970]

So sorry for the loss of your friend.

[@realfamimation]

bro is BACK

[@Cars-N-Jets]

3:07 there's the good ol Delts hangers I visited during Ace camp! Which I know your apart of Paul. Woulda been nice to meet you if you weren't working that week or whatever you were doing two summers ago.

[@stevef.7237]

I used to watch Kara and Nate when they were budget travelers looking for deals and meeting locals. When they got more popular it became about $10,000 a night hotels.

[@ncarnaiz]

Sorry to hear about your Friend and mentor… RIP Neil😢

[@britterztv]

Hi Paul, love your videos! Sorry for your loss! Was hoping you’d be my flight crew on my united flight last week (even though slim chance as I was on 737 Max and E-175 lol)! Would love to see your POV of long delays or cancellations sometime ! :)

[@WangFamilyKitchen]

Just wondering, do you have to pay for the Sun Country flights?

[@mylayoverlife]

No, we can jumpseat on any airline for free.

[@stephaniejohnson2455]

RIP Neil ❤

[@James-f4d1c]

Great veido!!! I love your veidos so much!! It gets me so exited when you upload. I have one question. How do you get from inside the terminal to the flight planning area?

[@stevenwar30]

You fly the 757? It's my favorite aircraft

[@mattlantzy5093]

You know you commute early, and often, whrm the parking deck level is nearly empty

[@jacobshhm]

hey Paul, what are the earbuds that you are using?Are they comfortable? I've been looking for a wired AirPods alternative.

[@mylayoverlife]

They’re from a Minnesota company called Alclair. I have a pair of Bose that I like but they’re hard to edit with because of the delay, and when you bounce between an iPhone, computer, and airplane monitor, it’s tough to do that quickly with Bluetooth headphones.

[@potoole1953]

[@mylayoverlife]

Oh wow. Thank you.

[@connorchiselko]

not crying again..

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

I changed planes in Minneapolis once.

[@kyubtauji7]

RIP NIEL

[@landonrosas8162]

Hello question what aviation school I should go through to be a 757 or a 767 pilot for United Airlines ATP flight school or what?

[@robertmonaghan5420]

What's The Percentage That has Jumped out of, And Thrown Stuff out of Airplanes

[@corinardh8635]

Neil RIP

[@Oliveoil12345]

First!

[@DrNatan59]

🫡

[@kevinp8108]

At 04:41, it looks like your co-pilot is a Junior First Officer with two stripes. Does that mean he has less experience or less time with the company?

[@mylayoverlife]

That’s one of the flight attendants. All our first officers have three stripes.

[@andywayne5356]

Question. Why doesn't the airline you work for arrange for you to get to your base and home? Menaing why do you have to do it? Why not just plan the whole trip?

[@mylayoverlife]

Because it’s my choice to live outside of the base.
