Can I Fly to EVERY American Airlines Hub Back-to-Back?

Watch this video to explore all nine of American Airlines’ hubs! In this video, I’ll attempt to fly to all of them as quickly as possible.

We’re calling this aviation marathon “Hub Hopping” and American Airlines is the third airline we’ve tried it with. After unforgettable experiences with United and Delta, it’s time to try the challenge onboard the WORLD’S BIGGEST AIRLINE!

With eight connections, eight airplanes, eight crews, not to mention crowded airspace and – the great equalizer - weather, this is the biggest challenge I’ve taken on, yet!

I also must say the fact that you are always willing to give up a first-class seat just to make up time is amazing. No snobbiness on this channel. Thanks jeb. 💪🏾 💪🏾 💪🏾

I want to see Southwest Airlines hub hopping

[Amtran]

Jeb, I usually fly American so I found this video particulary interesting. At 17:21 you captured N905NN, the 737-800 in the retro 60's Astrojet livery, my favorite AA paint scheme. I have not been lucky enough to have that aircraft on any AA flights. I guess I need to fly more often! Great video.

[Cali--ica]

Just to make sure all the hubs are covered, I think once you arrived at LAX you could have hopped on a nonstop LAX-JFK flight! 😜

[thomasconroy]

Always like that you acknowledge all the ground workers and behind the scene workers that make it possible to fly

[ckidder]

For the Southwest video, looks like they fly to around 13 different cities in California alone...I wonder if you could plan a trip that flies exclusively within California and tries to visit as many of the cities as you can in a day...that would be a fun one for Suzanne to plan out!

[ybpcjgr]

I fly Southwest exclusively. I would love to see a video about their "hubs". These hub videos are very entertaining!

[CactusPHLyer]

AA Plat Pro here, I get to every AA hub every year, but not all in one day! :) Sounds like a fun Avgeek challenge, love your hub hopping videos and appreciate the effort you put into these.

[thyagarajannatarajan]

We all know that hub Hopping part 3 is what we all wanted. Next we need Southwest and Alasaka Airlines. #HubHopping
I agree w/ Suzzane. I feel like United has been getting better. LOVE THE VIDS! United hopping was the first video of yours I watched.

[jlmcdonell]

Great video Jeb! For a Southwest video you could focus on their crew base locations (BWI, ATL, MCO, BNA, MDW, DAL, HOU, DEN, PHX, LAS, LAX, OAK)!

[JoePokorny]

Awesome hub hopping! Alaska Airlines would also be a fun one being entirely west coast focused.

Hey Jeb, I was on both your Charlotte and ORD flight. I wanted to say high but you were in the middle of filming so I decided not to bother. It was nice to have the MIA to ORD gate right next to the CLT to MIA gate. Glad to see the rest of your trip went well. Cheers 🥂

[rtricky]

I love the fact the crew chief had the US Airways cap. I’m surprised it wasn’t an America West cap 🤣🤣
Favorite hub gotta be LGA

[CrazyLlama]

I absolutely love your hub hopping videos. They are so entertaining.

[jeshua]

19:43 "that chicken was terrrible" "I know I hated it, very raw" LOLL

[squawk]

Jeb, I adore all of your videos! Especially this one... I'm an AA fleet service agent in SAN and have been employed in the AA family for over a decade now, and proud of it. I dream of taking these same adventures as you! I'm also pleased to hear you shouting out all the non-revs. Man have I got some stories for you hahaha

Thanks for all you and Suzanne do!

[alecbramlett]

I think a Southwest "hub" hopper would be great! You could focus on the "secondary" Airports that Southwest uses, like Dallas Love and Chicago Midway. Plus it would give you an excuse to see my home Airport of Denver again!

[shanellstrehlow]

Jeb, I love all of your videos. Thank you (and Suzanne) for the time you take and energy you spend in filming, editing, and uploading them. The knowledge you expound on us about flying, flights, airfare, etc., is much appreciated. The education it provides is very much worth it. You basically are presenting video research for those of us who get overwhelmed by the written information on the internet. Again, thank you! Also, your bloopers are a riot as well.

Washington National is such a great airport, and the connection to the DC Metro is one of the best airport rail connections in the country, perhaps THE best in the country. Love the new modern interiors too, really feels like an up to date hub.

Jeb, I have been waiting for an American hub-hopping, because it is the airline I fly about 98% of the time; I felt right at home in all these hubs. Great video as always!!
