SURPRISE Trip: No Clue Where I’m Going!

In this experimental video, your Creative Director (my fiancée), Suzanne, planned an epic surprise trip. She booked a series of flights to interesting destinations she was certain we would all enjoy - you included, of course!
In this first episode in this three-video-series, you and I will find out our first destination. I’ll share how I felt “flying blind” as well as what the journey was like and, perhaps most interesting, where we went and what we saw!
Let me know what you think of this experiment. It’s way more “vloggy” than any video I’ve made before and it was fun to produce something so different.

Wouldn’t it be funny is Suzanne just booked you on a flight back to Greensboro

[@bryantsteury8910]

Atlanta to Greensboro back to Atlanta

[@Mustafakhan-qg6nv]

I live an hour from there

[@vamoscruceros]

Or somewhere else in North Carolina, like Charlotte.

Now that's true comedy. Now I wish that was exactly what had happened haha. Dang it!

@@bryantsteury8910 good one

[@mennoydema5222]

Having Suzanne there makes it even more fun to watch, so I hope you guys consider making more vids together

[@AverytheCubanAmerican]

Suzanne is definitely a prodigy, you are lucky to have her. This is a brilliant and out of the box idea And she picked such a great destination, I loved Puerto Rico when I visited in 2009. Old San Juan is certainly a beautiful area of the city. But the El Yunque forest is even better

[@AirshipsAviation11]

U are everywhere 😦

That was so much fun to watch - can't imagine how much fun it was to make!

[@GreenerGrass]

We had a blast!!

[@Calebs_Aviation]

Sounds Awesome 😎 👏

[@mxyzptlyk]

I did this for my wife for her Fiftieth birthday. I got her through check-in, security and passport control by having her stand back while I explained what was going on. It wasn't until we arrived at the gate that she was going to Naples, Italy. She loves pizza so I took her to the restaurant where pizza was invented. Superb!

[@JTV13]

Pizza was actually invented by an Italian guy in Texas. At least that’s was what I heard.

[@mxyzptlyk]

@@JTV13 I’d check that again. It was Raffaele Esposito in Naples (not the one in Florida) in the 1880s. Ike Sewel of San Antonio, Texas came up with the Deep Pan variety in the 1920s and Chicago claimed it later.

[@soledieairvideos5974]

I read that as 15th for a second and got super worried lmao

[@mxyzptlyk]

@@soledieairvideos5974 No need to worry, it was her 50th, not her quinceañera . We got a good laugh out of that! Thanks.

[@alwaysaviation22]

I live in Napoli, and flim planes at the airport, which airline and when and at what time did you come. I might of saw you land

[@murphysstout]

Yes more Suzanne, ands some more fun into your solo act

[@dand5829]

Of course Jeb drives a Land Cruiser. This man is the epitome of “wealth whispers”. Loved the video. Keep em coming.

[@MilesByFoot]

I did this for my wife in 2015 with an anniversary trip, similar situation. She went in blind, knowing only the leg from our home in Louisville to Atlanta. Our surprise destination was Denver for some museums, vegan food, and geocaching in Colorado Springs! We loved it! Love your videos as always, Jeb!

[@chrisc1881]

It is so nice to let the world know that we guys do this too for our wives. I did this for out wedding anniversary. We went from New York to the Dominican Republic. She only knew the destination when we arrived to check in

[@megadragonite3986]

YES! happy that u enjoyed coming here,and ty Suzanne for taking him here

[@Janella_Ice_Ice_Baby]

Yes! More Suzanne. She’s adorable! (Said the in the least creepy way possible lol)

[@jlheat10]

🤨

[@DennisWinburn]

I agree more Suzanne. She is devious and it is understandable why you love her.

[@zachariyahawasli6454]

uhhhh that was very creepy um you shouldve taken out the adorable part

[@edgarreyes3184]

Say it more creepily /.\ 😂

[@letham1520]

[@williammodlin2621]

One, Suzanne is a keeper; two, I’m smiling/laughing through the entire video.

[@mikefoarde8346]

Yes on the Suzanne question! I am an av-geek like you and a Delta Reservations supervisor. My wife (also named Suzanne) travel non rev. We often have adventures like your PR trip in that neither of us know where we end up! Every trip is an adventure. Great video!

[@nikkikim6908]

I grew up in Atlanta, and started working/traveling by myself regularly to NYC at 16 years old. I went to Elon University for about a year, and was still needing to "commute" to New York or Atlanta a lot. I remember being SO freaked out by how quiet Greensboro airport was/is. It still creeps me out a little! Haha.

[@matthewvernier5677]

I would totally love this to be a series. Suzanne should plan couple day trips for you. Not only is it exciting for you, but to me, the mystery was also exciting. LOVED this video!

[@jasuancaceres5136]

That’s so cool! As a Puerto Rican is super exciting to see someone get so excited to visit the island and enjoy the beauties of it. Got me chills your reaction!

[@edvaira6891]

Yes, most definitely! More Suzanne! Woman is a genius to pull this off!

[@MarkBittner1989]

We definitely need Suzanne in more videos! She's awesome!! Also, she's your fiancée (thanks @oscassey), not fiancé. I just had to learn this as well :D

[@oscassey]

Fiancée :)

[@MarkBittner1989]

@@oscassey D'oh!

[@wadesultan5074]

Ah, that's because it's French! It's fiancée if it's the woman and fiancé if it's the man. C'est parce que c'est français !

[@DaveysCards]

After this video I have learned one thing...Suzanne is definitely a keeper. You chose well my friend. Good luck to both of you in lifes endeavours

[@gdofred]

Who said he was the one who got to choose? :)

Susanne is obviously a very special lady! I've never been to Puerto Rico either so I'm looking forward to your videos from this trip. So good to see you in the sky again.

[@AtlasAir767CA]

Awesome concept this is great! Also a “winglet-less” 757-200 at Delta. Can’t wait to see more of your videos!

[@doubles0879]

My wife and have made this our tradition for several years. We've even got her family involved in it too. We each take turns on planning the trips. Last time I surprised her with a trip to Yellowstone and then over to the Black Hills area.

[@catmunk1]

Yes please, love the Suzanne videos

[@barbb]

Loved this video. Was in San Juan last January, great time. Yes to more Suzanne.

[@allanthomas332]

I agree let’s see Suzanne much in the upcoming videos

[@patricktimothy8354]

Great video. And lol at "Jeb shirts"and your wife is cool! I tagged along with my parents for a few trips to San Juan back in the day.My dad was Captain on the Stretch DC8 for Delta.There was a flight he flew from here(New Orleans)to San Juan. But the runways weren't long enough at MSY so they would stop in Birmingham,Alabama to add fuel before landing in San Juan. We also would take the flight to San Juan,then take Prim Air to St. Croix and St.Thomas. My dad eventually flew 1011s and had to commute to Atlanta or Cincinnati to fly international routes before he retired in 1991. Your video brings back some great memories.Thanks for all of the hard work you and your wife put in to these videos.

[@alismith6353]

Was a great feel good video!! Would be great to see more of the creative director. Hope you had a great time!

[@CreativeEm]

[@jawd1203]

Now you know what it’s like to pack and travel like a flight attendant or pilot on reserve! It would be fun to see Suzanne more often. Cool video Jeb. And by the way, a wrap is as much of a sandwich as a hot dog is 🤣

[@zaydbhatti8587]

Jeb…. I have been watching you for a long time now and I love your videos. At the 1:28 mark, I noticed that you had a Land Cruiser. I would like to congratulate you for being smart and getting the best SUV for that price range.

Suzanne is a cutie! Well done Jeb! And yes we want to see more!

[@deanmartin9014]

Love it! That must have been so fun to not know where you were going. As much as I think I would like it, I think the control freak in me would be stressed! I would love to do this to my partner though!

[@KandeShack]

What a fun adventure! I would love someone to do this with me! When I non-rev (my Son is a Pilot for Delta) it is sometimes like not knowing exactly where you’re going. One time I was in Minneapolis and needed to make it back to SLC for work by the next morning. My Son worked his magic. He said “I can get you to SLC by midnight BUT you have to go through JFK.” Looking at a map, you know it’s the complete opposite direction from SLC but I made it home by midnight and in First Class✈️😊✈️
