With only four days off, my family and I used the open search function in our employee reservation system to find a flight with open seats. Come along for a fun filled 46 hours in.....well, you'll just have to watch.

They may not now but they will. I grew up in an airline family and while I didn’t appreciate the places my parents took us too at the time (old museums, landmarks, battlegrounds) as I got older it was amazing to think back on all the things that I saw in real life that I eventually would read and study growing up. And as the world has changed to be able to say you say this before xxx …

I grew up with parents in the hotel business so similar situation to your kids. They took us all over the world when they traveled for business. It gave me a view of the world very different from that of my peers. I still tell my parents about the impact it had on me and thank them for not leaving me (and my siblings) behind. These experiences were better than any toy I was ever given. Just found your site and look forward to following your travels!

Last easter we went to Geneva. My son in law is a pilot on the 787. We drove to YUL. He looked at the loads and bingo on our way to Geneva in Business class. Easter Monday we returned again in Business. So nice to have a bed and sleep for most of the trip. Spoiled us rotten.

You are so right about the memories vs stuff. In 2009 my parents took my family & my brother’s family to London & Scotland for 10 days. Our children, who are adults now still talk about that trip! My Mom said ‘our grandchildren are going to inherit memories’! The cousins are very close and my Mom couldn’t have said it any better ! Your kids will feel the same 💜

I grew up with my dad being part of AA so I definitely know this feeling. Granted, we weren’t necessarily the most financial sound so never did Europe but got to explore a lot of the Spanish America and Caribbean.

Paul, I love your videos!! This one takes me back to when I was a kid. I remember flights where my parents would count the number of people boarding a flight so they would know if they would make it!!! Didn't happen all the time, but a lot! We lived one mile due west of SFO and as we would drive by the airport, my mom would say, "there goes a plane and I'm not on it!!"

BRAND NEW SUBSCRIBER! What an awesome channel. Non-Rev has got to be the best perk of working for an airline (here in the UK, we don't really have it the same, as the US Carriers) After 18 years as a flight attendant, I would often arrive at the airport with no destination in mind and just go. Friends barely left the city on days off, I flew all over Europe for practically free! Keep up the great work, and best wishes from here in Liverpool, England.

I'm a retired flight dispatcher and used to non-rev quite a bit. It is a wonderful thing to be able to do. Unfortunately, my first day of retirement was April 1 of 2020 and my airline flew its last flight on April 7th. It went out of business due to COVID19. It was a regional airline and the major airlines we flew for took our airplanes away because they were reducing their flying system-wide. But at least I did it for a good long time and most people in this world never get to do it ... ever.

I have since taken nine of my kids to Europe for a month this summer, and I’m going back with four of them in early December for 10 days to tour Christmas markets in Germany - and flying United! You have no idea how much of a part your videos had in that! Thank you! 🙏

@grayrabbit2211 9 ай бұрын

Congrats! I did mine last year. My first solo didn't bother me at all, even despite mechanical problems on my first solo lap. It was just 'another day at the office'. I did my XC without a problem to a town in the middle of nowhere with no real reference points on the ground, no problem. BUT, for some reason I was very nervous about the long XC. KSPG probably wasn't the best choice for this, with 4* glide slopes that drop you in over the tops of buildings on one runway, across the non-descript water on the other 3. Runways half the distance of what I'm used to, oh...and the PAPIs AND ILS were inop that day. Lucky me. Gusty & variable winds. Did I mention gusty with a crosswind? I came in too high on the first attempt, went around and had a reasonable landing for the second. After I landed and was still on the runway, tower sequenced the next aircraft to the other, longer runway due to the winds. Thanks tower! The flight home was uneventful.

I’m also a HUGE fan of your wife’s silver plane charm necklace! 😍 was that a gift by any chance?

My husband is an airline pilot and I hear all these women complain about their schedule but the beauty is we get to show our kids the world. Our kids have been to Europe 5 times in the last few years. Have flown first class multiple times! They are so blessed. We went to italy last summer and my daughter is learning about the Vatican and the Sistine chapel and she can say she’s been there! My kids also read in school the hiding place about how Corrie ten boom hid jews in her house and last December we took our kids out of school to fly to Amsterdam and Germany to go to the Corrie ten boom house and the Christmas markets. It makes history come to life! So thankful for flight benefits!!

We have a similar view to our kids having experiences. Every year for Xmas we have one big family experience present. Our kids have been hot air ballooning, skydiving, travelled nationally/internationally, concerts and heaps of others. Now the kids are older they can’t remember what toys and gifts they got but the remember every single experience they had. Experiences and adventures are far better than toys and screens.
