Congratulations Paul, here's to 200,000!

[@LordGdawg]

Congratulations Paul. Been here since 20k. Knew you'd make it. Excellent quality content.

[@colstevo1154]

I fuel that aircraft on a daily basis!!!!!!! I also DID fuel your flight! (I'm the one who fueled your Spirit flight a couple years ago while you still had Snapchat)

Small world isn’t it.....and I doubt you get any thanks for your job so....thank you 👍🏼😊

@Manisha Sinhababu it sucks sometimes, but I love it

Pete Coventry oh christ, poor you!! 😂😂

[@maxster_8989]

8:20 Paul: "McD's has better food than United." 🤣👍🤣👍🤣👍

[@WillGrimm623]

Two distinctly different Chicago companies. But now I know why there are so many McDonald’s at United’s Terminal at Chicago-O’Hare😂

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

@dustysnoop As compared to what? Mc Donalds is soy based food that kids love and adults get the shits from

[@chaosdemonwolf1]

@dustysnoop This is true. If I do eat at Mc D's that's what I get. I live in the UK and haven't flown since the 911 thing

[@andrewgamez7973]

Agreed. United has trash food on their flights. Had a friend get sick on one of them just from eating something small.

[@troyp9485]

Maxster 9898 United sucks. Continental was actually a good travel experience. United fucked it all up.

[@WeMuckAround]

This is the only channel I make a point of clicking on the ads just to help boost that monetisation a little bit more 😄

[@MD-gq1wi]

Paul is the sort of person who you can't dislike he's just so cool

[@C2K777]

You were the 1st trip reporter I started following. You weren't even in ur tens of thousands back then & it's amazing to see you hit this goal. I hope your YT Plaque turns up soon.

[@Paul_Lucas]

Thank you!

[@C2K777]

@@Paul_Lucas No THANK YOU for all the amazing content and for the inspiration you have placed in my heart to travel the world and experience as much of it as I can. The good lady isn't such a fan of how much of an aviation geek she has to live with now but she rarely complains when she steps off at the other end lol

[@TeraRageKing]

Another trip I can reccomend is the train from Oslo to Bergen. They are both great cities and you can try Norwegian's short haul which I really enjoyed.

[@johnsymons76]

My BEST train trip ever was the overnight sleeper from Oslo to Bergen! It was fascinating staying up most of the night looking out the window and seeing the front of the train curving through the snow covered mountains! A trip to remember always!

[@peteryates6354]

Congratulations Paul on reaching the 100k milestone. Love your air & train videos.

[@adamtorres109]

I've been enjoying the mix of train and airline reviews. Keeps it really fresh. Keep up the good work.

[@VictorySpeedway]

I'm proud to be one of the 101,000! I look forward to each and every trip report you post. You mentioned a while back that United was an airline "in transition." (After merging w/ Continental) Doesn't look like that transition is going too well. United, after the demise of U.S. Airways, has become the new "Skid Row Airlines." Everything about United is substandard. I fly United only when absolutely necessary. Continental was one of the best airlines in the U.S. Merging with United has done neither of them any good. Looking forward to your next flight!

[@leddik]

Pete Kessler I agree. I miss Continental so much. Was always confused as to why they decided to merge. Skid row airlines is the perfect description. Unfortunately I still travel on it with my dad since he’s big on brand loyalty. Oh well. Hopefully they will get better.

[@johnsymons76]

I call United, "Greyhound in the Sky"!

[@Waldo1411]

Agree

[@maxs6791]

One of the finest if not the finest trip reporters out there! Very honest about your experiences and a genuine love for what you do.

[@kylemchugh2263]

Another great video Paul! Got me excited (and kinda nervous for the food) on my first business class flight on UA’s new 787-10 from LAX-EWR, might even try doing my first trip report. Can’t wait for the next video!

[@stevedgrossman]

I love how US carriers us FF status to determine meal priority, what a joke.

[@JayVBear45]

Wow! 247k at this point! 1M is just around the corner and you deserve every one of your subscribers! Great content, excellent reviews and good reporting of the Joy's and pitfalls of each journey. I love SF and used to visit almost every year from 2003 to 2014. Haven't been able to travel last 6 years or so. Always flew Southwest from Albuquerque to Oakland because it was always much cheaper and I grew to love the AirBart/Bart train into San Francisco to my friends apartment in the SOMA edging on the Mission. Some day I'll get off this continent.

[@mason9483]

Congrats on 100k Paul, here's to 100k more! Love your videos Paul, keep up the good work :)

[@dennyhuang240]

Congrats on hitting 100k! And great to see you back again as well!!

[@timnewtimnew1]

Not surprised 100k Paul. Videos are so damn good!

[@cameronschindler25]

Have been here since 11k. Good job Paul! All 101k subs are all deserved

[@emzadia]

Congrats, Paul! Love your videos!

[@sammalone7352]

Welcome to US flight service. One step above being in a cattle car.

[@sammywhammy007]

Yeah I fucking hate getting on a domestic flight in the US. The quality of flying has really gone to shit in the past 28 years I’ve lived here. Shitty Airlines, Delays, Morons who work for TSA and Abysmal customer service from disgruntled crappily paid employees pretty much sums up the flying experience in the US. US really needs high speed rail. It will light a fire up the airlines’ asses to straighten up and fly straight.

[@mpsangha]

Never had an issue with Delta, have always had issues with the other major carriers tho... United, American, Southwest etc.

[@sammywhammy007]

Manpreet Singh The only carrier I’ve had no issues so far is Alaska Airlines. Rest of them are junk. Especially the Big 3. I’ll give Southwest a pass because they’ve always been a low cost carrier and they don’t nickel and dime you for every small thing.

[@pilotjonas8]

Sam Malone fly Jetblue!

[@hughporter5234]

There was a local news piece on UAL's' new Premium Economy Service. and it included this sentence. United has decided to move from a 3-3-3 standard economy seating to 3-4-3 to "cram" one more seat into every row. Cattle car indeed.

[@adrianherbert5384]

Love DIA, been there probably over 30 times and 10 to the old Stapleton Airport! Not bad for a geezer from London!! You are doing a great job, and this is bringing me much happiness in these times of gloom. Keep it up!!!

[@american0113]

U make the most detailed TripReports and u can tell u put in the work :) congrats 🍾can’t wait till a mil !

[@jamesking1952]

Well done Paul. Another great video. Congratulations in achieving such a great following.

[@kateh2007]

Congratulations on your 100 k subscribers Paul. Extremely well deserved, keep up the great work x.

[@missVmilne]

Yay and yippee ! Am delighted for your successes. Keep reaching for your goals and dreams Paul - we'll be along for the journey with you. Live long and prosper. Regards from London ;-)

[@CO84trucker]

I flew a 757-300 first class to O'Hare recently and it was a pretty nice experience. What was cool read how the captain welcomed us aboard from the forward galley rather than from the flight deck (with the stereotypical 60 yr old midwestern Chuck Yeager drawl) .

[@aresef]

United Premier is such a gift. Only time I’ve used it I was the only person in that area at LAX. When they were having technical difficulties, I was just having a laugh with the counter folks.

[@ryanfrisby7389]

Howdy, awesome video as always! Congratulations on 100K subscribers!😸

[@haggischaser1028]

Congratulations on getting to the 100K subscribers Paul. It’s a great achievement to get that amount and it goes to show that your great content gets and keeps people. Keep up the awesome work and I’m look8ng forward to your upcoming content. 😎

Well done mate! I love your channel!

[@PompeyJimmy]

Good to be back watching one of your videos after a crap couple weeks, this is what I needed to see! United just don't seem to deliver on their food.. they seem very lacklustre and.. blah!! I hope you have a better experience on their newer 787 later this year! Can't wait for the next videos! :)

[@Paul_Lucas]

[@stevie6205]

Well done Paul on reaching 100K subscribers. Long may your excellent videos continue. All are absolutely brill. I always look forward to your next flight. Travel safely.

[@nordicgamer1468]

Awesome video, and congratulations for 100K ❤️

[@bradsmith7219]

I'm a Star Alliance man from the US (although I live in Asia). Despite the fact that I have gold on Singapore Airlines, I still refuse to fly United for any reason. In Phoenix, they're very convenient because their terminal is dedicated to them and pretty small, with convenient parking. I still refuse to fly with them. Southwest is my go-to for domestic any day of the week, JetBlue when it works and American or Delta depending on which is more convenient. I can't imagine paying first class fares with cash and being told "we'll see if we can serve you eggs". Total crap, and the food was shite. What a disappointment, which is par for the course for United.

[@dospalmascb]

Brad Smith shite is a great Scottish word, do you work with Scots in Asia? 😂

[@matthewsmith8727]

Been with you since 3k subs congrats on reaching 100k by far the best aviation KZbinr

Congratulations Paul , 1million subscribers shouldn't be too far away I guess. Your content is always FIRST CLASS and it's always a beautiful finish to my day before I go to bed. Thanks for all your knowledgeable facts and bringing the world a little closer too me.

[@Btipton1]

You came up as a suggested vid from Sam Chui’s channel about 3 months ago and have to admit, as someone who’s not an aviation fan, seeing how different companies offer differ is brilliant! Becoming a proper little flight nerd because of your channel, Sam’s channel and Non stop Dan’s channel!

[@leigh9393]

Congratulations on reaching 100k, well deserved.

[@jameshayward8533]

Great review/video as always!!!! The food prioritization is not 'Nonsense'. As a traveler I completely agree with UAL's strategy of insuring their higher mileage patrons are prioritized for meals, etc. The higher rewards members are, after all, their bread and butter and loyalty counts absolutely. You always take care of your family first. However, you still got your eggs; probably because someone realized who you are. A critic with well over 100,000 followers and growing exponentially, is an important customer. Please, keep being critical, you are the 'high bar' of airline reviews. Your reviews are well done, well spoken, not boring, and just enough video of parts of the trip to be very informative. Great work!!!! You own the formula.

[@justincui]

Especially given that other aorlines do that too. This prioritization is no reason to bash United for doing what others do.

[@josephreed2728]

amazing achivement paul great content you make keep up good work

You do such a good job on your videos and that is why you have 100K+ on your channel!! I think I picked up from your videos, if I'm going to do something, then do it right, and you do.

[@stalltrader24]

Well done Paul! 🥳🍾

[@ukdavepianoman]

Being an air-travel aficionado myself I love your videos. Very honest and direct appraisals. I've flown United a few times and for their internal flights, the punctuality was abysmal. It's really rather remarkable that the US is so far behind so many other airlines (although UK airlines are heading the same way).

[@Euannac]

Can't believe the time flies so quickly, I remember when you were so shy or awkward using the camera haha 😂. Came a long way. Well done 👊🏽💪🏽

[@danielintheantipodes6741]

In my experience, eggs on aeroplanes do tend to be awful. Still, I usually order them for breakfast because they are 'safe'. Thank you for the video. You deserve the 101,000 subscribers. You have earned them.

[@TheFunOSphere]

congrats man!!

[@Deoptics8]

I live 10 minutes from Newark Airport and travel frequently. I am stuck with United. Everyone has status so no one is special. I wish I could join another airline but I must endure it. Great honest reporting Paul. Congrats again on cracking 100k.

[@molly19601]

Congrats on 100k 👍🏻

[@janicelindsey9557]

You’re the best out there. Congrats❤️❤️❤️

[@RichardHenningsIII]

Flying out of DEN, I had the chance in January to fly to EWR in a -10, and I think you’ll like it. I was in a 757-200, but the morning of my flight United decided to switch to the -10 as I guess they needed to reposition it. Funny thing was is that the flight was that plane’s first revenue flight which was a bit cool to me. I was in 1A, and with it being a 1-2-1 on the -10 meant I had no one next to me. Can’t wait to see your -10 review!

[@nigel8499]

Many congratulations on 100K Paul

[@juliegoodwin6850]

Congratulations on your 100,00! You deserve it! Just can't handle United

[@char1ie_g709]

Well done mate 👍👍

[@EricValor]

Thanks for showing Moffett. I learned to fly there. Too bad the famous Hangar 1 is no longer there. It built to house the enormous dirigible the USS Macon, the last dirigible to serve the US Navy. It was so big it made its own weather inside. I have been in and out of it more than a few times but it was torn down in the last few years because it became an environmental hazard inside with so much fuel and other chemical spillage. It was black and silver, like a giant Raiders NFL monument. It sat on the other side of the runways from the two green hangars you saw.

[@C.G.M.C.]

Thanks again Congratulations

[@TheHagerman12]

Can’t tell you how awesome it is for my favorite KZbinr to come to my home airport. Great video! Gotta try SWA out of DEN if you can! Thanks Paul
