[@mylayoverlife]

I’m so sorry to hear that Matt. ♥️

[@ianhawkins4855]

What a beautiful tribute to your friend and mentor. RIP

[@jackshireman8598]

Man if there’s one channel that I could shout out as one of the most deserving of more subs it would be this one. Every video is so well made and it’s amazing to see a vulnerable side to people on this app. Major kudos and as a pretty frequent united flyer I really hope I get to hitch a ride with you someday! Sorry about the loss :(

[@gio3549]

I am deeply sorry for your loss Paul. Blue skies and tailwinds for Captain Meyer from a fellow Captain from Spain.

[@nicolascorrea1146]

One more thing...sorry about your loss. What a tribute to an inspiration, very heartwarming

[@logananderson9094]

What a video. I’m now completely in awe of Iceland. Thank you, Captain Paul.

[@dalerh447]

What a lovely tribute to your mentor. It's clear that he made an impact on your life. Thank you for sharing your resources. I'm going to Greece in 2026 and will use some of your suggested sites to find adventure.

[@leilanihimmelmann9190]

Amazing adventure, and a very heart-warming tribute to your good friend and mentor, Neil Meyer. My deepest condolences for your loss. I wish Neil a peaceful journey home.

[@scottgoode9874]

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

[@N1120A]

So sorry to hear about your friend. Anyone who succeeds in doing anything has a person like Neil and Im so glad you had him.

[@mikaelchartrand5767]

I too work for a Canadian carrier and I thank life every day for being able to exercise this wonderful profession and for being able to visit the world at the same time. Your videos are super beautiful, I love them. Sky is the limit !!

[@jani-brielle]

I'm sorry to hear about your friend. Condolences. Love the video. Always happy to see you posting🎉

Awesome video Paul. They keep getting better and better. Sorry to hear about your loss but I’m sure you have lots of great memories. Keep up the great work.

[@ClaytonCarte]

A new video from Paul, awesome! Beautifully done as always!

[@greglipschitz]

Sorry for your loss Paul. Fly high Neil.

[@bionicsjw]

I was a Flight Attendant with United from 1988-2004. I was based in DC and would have loved flying with you and joining on the adventures. I did some fun things like Scuba diving the Keys and off Kona to overnight fishing out of San Diego. On a crazier note, I went to Law school in Denver while flying out of DC. I would fly 1-2 trips then commute to Denver where I grew up and attend class at the Univ. of Denver Law School which was just down the street from Stapelton Airport. In between trips I actually got to see my wife. I graduated after 3 1/2 years. After flying I had a great career as a trial attorney. I will pray for you and your friend Neil. Take care and God Bless.

[@mattdail6294]

Your videos are so professional and well edited. They are such a great watch every time. Thanks for putting so much thought and consideration into your videos. Keep up the great work and content.

[@mrvivalatang1]

Another great video Paul! I got a little sentimental at the end. I’m enjoying all of your videos. Thank you for all of your hard work!

[@jenniferlawrence9598]

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

[@mylayoverlife]

Indeed. 💙

[@robertmonaghan5420]

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

[@mingun25]

[@dylanbrixey5152]

Captain, thank you for this video!! Such a powerful tribute to Neil!! I love the staff traveler app as well!! It's came in handy so much!!

[@ilyasait9346]

Paul, I am deeply sorry for your loss. My condolences! As you mentioned, Neil's guidance and mentorship have positively impacted your life and certainly others indirectly through your incredible videos! RIP ✈🌹

[@mylayoverlife]

Thanks so much. 🙏🏻

[@_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.

[@ethangraser9969]

Just donated for Niel! Thanks everything Paul! You're keeping me inspired during my flight training right now. Thank you.

[@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.

[@dianafraser6915]

What a wonderful person Neil was to have in your life Paul.

[@scottloynd]

One of your best vids and they are all great. Thanks.

[@cheriestone2403]

Sending you so much love and my deepest most sincere condolences for the loss of your dear friend Neil. That’s a lovely tribute that you made.❤

[@scottwalker8869]

Makes you realize how you should cherish every time you get to see a loved one. Never knowing if it may be the last time you get to be blessed with their presence. Never go to sleep with anger in your heart towards somone you love. Sorry for your loss, it’s so amazing the people you look at in your past who were instrumental to where you are today. So glad you can pass that gift on to another.

[@GaryGeraldJohnston]

It’s lovely that you recognise the help and positive influence that others have provided. Many people don’t see these gifts, and they simply coast through life without any realisation. In being blinkered to these benefits, they are missing out on the wonderful experience of gratitude. Keep making the great videos; I love watching them.

[@patrickmcconkey]

My condolences to you and the family and friends of Neil. May he rest peacefully.

[@PilotEli]

Hey Paul. I was just saying that I’m a kid and I want to become an airline pilot and I do know how to fly an airplane. I mostly fly for delta and if you watch some of my videos I am dressed as a pilot. Every time I see your videos, it motivates me to find my dream. Thank you, Paul.

[@mylayoverlife]

Amazing. Dream big, Eli!! The best is yet to come!

[@PilotEli]

Thank you ​@@mylayoverlife

[@PilotEli]

​@mylayoverlife can you give me a shout-out in your next video?

[@HecR0d]

I'm terribly sorry for your loss captain. I hope everyone is lucky enough to have someone like Neil in their lives. May he forever find clear and blue skies!

[@navcop33]

Beautiful tribute Paul! Learned a lot watching this video. Shed a tear while learning. Great video Captain!

[@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.

[@safferms]

Paul, once again, your Godly, humble personality shines through to deliver a great vid. I am sure that Neil would have been proud of what you have accomplished to this day. Keep up the excellent work and God Bless you and yours this Thanksgiving weekend.

[@nickkarebian]

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

[@MaxChan-e5g]

Hi Paul - just saw your huge smile on the United ad on Sunday Night Football! Cool!

[@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.

[@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,

[@mylayoverlife]

Glad to hear I’m not the only one taking advantage of seeing the world on their employers dime. 😂

[@gerireischl1959]

I just saw you on a UNITED commercial that is playing on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade!🦃🍁Your smile gave it away😁 Also, I’m so sorry to hear about your friend Neil. What a wonderful person to have had in your life.😌Blessings….

[@youpeppe124]

I'm deeply sorry for your loss. I think he is happy to see your tribute wherever he is now. I'm also sure he was proud to have shared a part of his life with a man like you and the career you have achieved also because of his mentorship. Thank you for sharing this touching story.

[@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.

[@mylayoverlife]

I started with Continental too. ✈️💙

[@beltonfields2311]

Sorry for your loss Paul and thank you for another great video.

I saw a video of yours you made a few years ago. Didn't know you were from Minnesota. Instantly subbed. We have to support our Minnesotans. Plus, you live a life I wish I had.

[@Maxycrownvic]

You're great... keep up the good work...Thank You!

[@lonestarintn9137]

[@dvfd36]

Paul, im sorry for the loss of your friend and mentor. The places you choose to go to and feature on your channel are amazing. Thank you for allowing us the opportunity to "visit" all these places even if we might never get there.

[@BeeHus2256]

Sorry to hear about your friend. I hope everyone who listens, donates to a great cause. I have to say, as a long time follower, if i was lucky enough to be on your crew, I'd be thrilled. Because you a k ways seem to include them into your adventures if they want to come along. You have done some awesome things. Lots of special adventures. Do crew members try to fly with you? Can they see who a pilot is for flights?

[@nursingreintegration7074]

Great video Paul while you are looking up flying Neil is looking down on you. Canadian fan

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

It’s interesting what activities you do, Paul, while on layovers around the world. I’m a sports fan. I fly to a Yankees series at different ballparks each year. I’ve been out to the West Coast 3 years in a row. Anaheim, Seattle and San Diego. My grandma lived in Florida. Used to go each Winter.

[@MatthewLincoln-i4p]

Today’s my birthday 🎉, Paul.

[@nazahpr]

Current flight attendant, aspiring pilot here. You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your layover life! This is definitely one of the best videos I have ever seen on KZbin! 🫶🏼
