Re your 30minute delay. I had a pilot friend who had a saying that might help. He'd say, "I'd rather be down here, wishing I was up there, instead of being up there, wishing I was down here."

I was doing a job in a chap in his 60s today, sadly he's autistic and epileptic. On leaving, he spots my 4x4 truck on 33s. He asks what engine, i told him 2.5 diesel. He then out of the blue told me MacMaster is in Australia and he doesn't like electric cars. I said, I know I watch too. 😅

I think he was making a comment on modern commercial airline flight and coach overall. Frankly, getting confiscated stuff in Sydney is what started at all. Anyone who thinks error line trips are easier than it was pre-9-11 are nuts. In the United States if you have connecting flights at a hub, it takes almost as long to fly as it takes to drive if you’re going with that within 750 miles. Every single aspect of commercial air travel is worse. Attitude of staff, food, drinks, cleanliness, on time, performance, lost luggage, damaged luggage. And the unreliability of airlines have connecting flights on time, makes it the worst.

@TerrArtist01 On a full flight from JFK to Orlando: a guy opposite me had a VERY nice guitar without a case, unfortunately he couldn't find a space in the overhead locker. He sat down, hiding it next to him near the window. A stewardess spotted it, couldn't find anywhere to put it and had it removed from the aircraft despite his protests. Last seen on my side of the aircraft in the hands of a very unsavoury looking ground handler... I don't know if he got it back or its condition. The guy was not a happy traveller.

If YOU DON'T agree with my choice may be YOU need to be more tolerant of other people and their choices. I am not responsible for your comfort, that was your choice when you choose an economy seat 😊

@philip4193 4 ай бұрын
Yep! When I used to fly on Virgin a lot before the Pandemic from the T2 terminal, I was stopped virtually every single time I passed through security for an explosive-residue screening test; meanwhile there'd be tatted-up gang bangers & other nefarious-looking characters just sailing through ahead of me unchallenged. When I once asked the security personnel why this was the case, the response in hushed tones was "because we have a quota and you are a well-dressed, middle-aged white guy and we know that you'll be compliant and that you won't cause a fuss; those guys [nodding to said gangbangers nonchalantly sauntering past] who actually look like they need screening always scream 'discrimination', accuse us of racial profiling and become aggressive & confrontational, so it just isn't worth the hassle". Never once have I ever been pulled aside for extra screening in the Qantas T3 domestic terminal at Sydney., which I pass through at least a dozen times a year these days.

I don't think it's unreasonable to recline your seat on a 5 hour flight. I don't recline my seat on short flights like between mel/syd/bne etc. but I do on long flights particularly at night. The seats are made to recline. Pay for an upgrade if you want more room.

All knives, sharp objects or cutting and stabbing implements need to be packed in checked baggage and not placed in carry-on baggage or on your person.

We regularly travel to and from Europe and usually try to avoid Sydney airport at all costs. Crap logistics, usurious parking prices, exorbitant train fares into and out of the city, appalling airside facilities which are always under refurbishment or construction, inferior internal bus transfers between domestic and international terminals, major airlines hoarding slots that they don’t use as they suddenly cancel domestic flights that they had no intention of completing anyway. It’s dog eat dog and everything at an expensive price. Try Melbourne or Brisbane in preference.

There is a reason why seats recline , because passengers need to lay backwards to support their backs on a long flight and to feel comfortable , if people in the front of you recline their seats , you also can recline your seat , I have heard this rubbish before about reclined seats and I don't understand the logic about it . Airlines would not have seats that recline if they can't be reclined because some passengers don't want others to be comfortable in their flight if the seat in front reclines and the seat behind it reclines , you still have the same amount of space so there is nothing about respecting someone elses space at all .

OK mate firstly if you weren't meant to recline the seats they wouldn't have a recline option. What I would have done and I can't believe you didn't would be to ask the lady in front if she could bring her seat up a bit please, most people are fairly reasonable. Then I would of asked the person behind me if they were ok with me reclining my seat a tad. It's a lot more effective than just spending 5 hours whinging about it. There you go Daddy Long Legs, problem solved.😅 Remember that any landing you can walk away from is a good one. I would have loved to have done a vlog of my experience on Monarch Airways from Malaga to Gatwick and the crap experience that is Gatwick Airport (Yes I know Monarch went under, probably a good thing but BA aren't much better and neither is LHR) . 😅 Also, the Convict thing is getting a bit old dude, kind of like us making light of how the Vikings had their way with the French and the Normans to produce the British 😅😅😅😅. Also the reason the flight west takes longer is due to the Roaring 40s not the rotation of the earth, man you really need to do some more reading on these long flights.😅😅

Most of the scenery you were showing on that flight was as boring as hell. I used to live in Australia for many years, and the only scenery any good was the coastline.

You are in the domestic terminal. There is no duty free for domestic travel. Even if it is a five hour flight.

I never recline my seat if someone is behind me. The only time I’ll recline is if the row behind me is empty or if there’s a wall behind me so I can’t bother anyone. It happens to me a lot where somebody in front decides to fully recline their seat, it’s never just a little bit. Then I look around and see that nobody else has reclined. Some cabin crew tell passengers to put their seats upright during meal services. One thing I like about low cost airlines is that most of the time the seats don’t recline. At least then I don’t live in fear for the entire flight.

I enjoyed the footage of coming into Perth, good views of the swan and the city. Have you got time to fit a short boat trip in? might find a few dolphins at Rockingham or Mandurah canals, happy to take you if you have time.

Great video Mac, been so long since I last flew, I think I would get confused at every stage now, not flown since I came back from Saudi Arabia in 1990. Having to check my own bag in, I think I'd have a melt down.

Did you stop to consider the person in front of you could have had a bad back? If seats can be reclined.... you should expect it... certainly don't be 1 of those Clowns who purposely kick the back of the seat b/c you got offended > degenerative disc disease is no joke.... especially on long flights. Gotta love it when Coach passengers complain about stuff like seats being reclined...that flight didn't seem all that bad at all > careful or you'll start to get that angry old codger rep😜

Hi Lee, absolutely agree re reclining the seat. I never do it and don’t think anyone should. Some planes now have non reclining seats thank goodness. As a Mancunian having lived in Perth for 50 years, I am enjoying your vlog.

I went to Australia 40 years ago for a friend’s wedding in Adelaide. Afterwards I wanted to go to Sydney but couldn’t afford the internal flight so went by coach instead. It left Adelaide at 9.00 am one day and reached Sydney at about 5 am the following day. Not sure I’d want to do that now I’m older!

Lee if that’s your worst flight experience ever you have been so lucky! It’s only been a couple of decades since no sharps on board came in - better to put main luggage ! I hate people reclining their seats but a quick word to the cabin staff normally sorts it. You arrived in one piece luggage not lost and no illness yahoo!!! Hope you covered your friends parking fine😊 and good luck with the flight home - it’s uphill so should be interesting.
