Former flight attendant here, Noel. I just wanted to say that despite your apparent exhaustion from nonstop traveling, I always appreciate you making the conscious effort to always give the crews and agents a warm greeting. If everyone who flew were half as gracious as you are, the industry’s quality of life would increase exponentially. Thanks for the great videos!

Can we appreciate that Noel sat on an 11+ hour flight to Singapore without getting out of his window seat just so he doesn’t have to bother the people next to him?

Really lovely to a) see people who are delighted to randomly bump into you at airports b) see your reciprocated delight at them. Makes the world seem smaller and warmer. Pretty magic.

What a power move watching a plane crash analysis video while on a plane.

I love how in this video Noel sometimes pronounces Barcelona as "Barcelonar" and when he was in Athens, Greece he calls the Acropolis "the Apocalypse" 😆

[DickMotorman]

9:11 Dude saw the apocalypse and still made it home safe, what a legend

[wolffayz]

Noel calling the sydney opera house ‘big theatre thingy’ hahaha

As a Southwest Flight Attendant who loves to your channel, thanks for the shout out aboard our plane. I am so Glad the crew on the last leg took care of you with a congratulatory beverage.
I was watching you board the last leg, thinking" if that was my working flight, I would comp you one or two" and the crew read my mind. I am glad all the folks saw you and recognized you. I would love to have you on my flight anytime. Alas, I am Las Vegas based. Congratulations on another round the world in 80 hour adventure.

Noel is such a likeable guy. No matter how tired and jetlagged, he always greets people with a friendly attitude.

As a retired Air France crew, we used to fly around the world Eastbound on a 10 day schedule with layovers in Athens, Teheran, Karachi, Bangkok, Tokyo, Exhausted upon returning to Paris, I can imagine what you must feel like doing this marathon 79:15 hours trip!!. Thanks for the videos.

That JetStar flight attendant that recognised you really put a smile on my face, such a lovely interaction, much like all the others that recognised you in this video!

Quick travel tip for anyone flying in to LaGuardia going to Manhattan:

Take the Q70 bus (FREE) from the airport to 61st & Woodside. Go to the LIRR ticket area and catch the rail to New York Penn (34th street, west side) or Grand Central Madison (42-48 streets, east side). $5 City Ticket (non-rush hours). 11-16 minutes later and there you are!!

Don't take a taxi unless you really have no other choice. Take Lyft if you have to as it's a flat rate. Those green/yellow meter guys will take you the longest way through as much traffic as possible to keep the meter ranking up $$$

9:16 - The apocalypse! LOL! Thinking that was the pathenon, not the acropolis, and definitely not the apocalypse. Thank you! I needed a laugh. You are truly awesome, Noel :)

[ashwheeler]

Love that Noel deliberately mispronounces famous landmarks and no one notices. Barcelona church, the apocalypse and the Sydney theatre thing 😂 great video again 👍🏻

As an Australian, it's so good and not surprising to see the friendly people welcoming you with a shake of the hand

For me personally this was absolutely the best video for aviation that exists. For the majority of people this is how we fly. Seeing you go around the world this way, just might make some people's dreams come true. I love business class and first. But it's often out of reach without miles or a lucky departure date. I applaud you making this video. I thank you for this. No one really does economy flying. You are diversifying. Also the tours of planes no longer in service, give me personally the most well rounded view of aviation.

Funny story, the Around the world in 80 hours was the first video of yours I watched. Now 3 years later I’m back!

Southwest is one of my favorite airline despite being lowcost. My aunt was a flight attendant for them for decades so my family has some brand loyalty, but even the more prestigious airlines can hardly beat the 2 free checked bags that they offer and their safety record. I also love the wifi on board and the friendliness of the flight attendants. Of course, I wasn't affected by their logistical melt down over christmas, so I imagine if I had experienced that I would have soured on them.

[KatyM]

I love this channel. You're so fearless about your own discomfort. So many other channels are like "$25, 000 plane seat!!" meanwhile you're like "I flew Spirit airlines for a week straight!"

I’m a ramp agent with SWA at PHX. One of my coworkers came by and said you came through and I was devastated I couldn’t say hi 😂. Awesome video!
