Prayers to the Make A Wish passenger and her family. I'm glad she was able to see the beauty of Hawaii

I work in UA's domestic network planning. I oversee a lot of gating & flight scheduling etc at EWR. Love the frontline "behind-the-scenes" you give our customers on your various digital platforms. You put a personality to the company that many of us can't do, and I'm grateful you allow the public to see how fortunate we are to work in the industry. Keep up the amazing work, and thanks for making the skies friendly! :)

The end of this is what life is all about. "There but for..." I sure hope they had a fantastic trip. Man that puts things into perspective for sure. And also that you never know what people are dealing with.

This brought tears to me. We’re going to Honolulu in 2 months thru make a wish for my 8 year old. We’re blessed to have this opportunity!

Your cinematics are awesome! It's beyond me how you have time to fly, plan, film and edit all while still having amazing energy and a beautiful smile in front the camera! ❤

Flew this exact route about seven years ago and compared to the return trip laying over LAX there's no comparison. The nonstop is more convenient and feels unique as there's only a select few of nonstop flights between NYC and Hawaii.

You got me in tears man. We healthy people tend to forget the most important things in life.. good video.

I did this hike yesterday because of your video so wanted to let you know how much I appreciate you taking the time to make it and share it with us!! Thanks very much!

I love your positive attitude and your gratitude for what you have in your life. We all need to be kinder to each other while enjoying our lives. Kudo's for getting out of the hotel and exploring. I'm guilty of NOT getting out of my hotel room enough when I use to travel on business. Hopefully others will be encouraged and take your lead to explore when they are traveling for business.

Adding your adventures at your destinations is what makes your channel unique and interesting. Well done.

This is amazing! I’ll be taking a 767-400 from Orlando to Atlanta in a couple of weeks! This VLOG is literally the definition of what my pilot goals are! On a personal note, I filmed your first-ever landing in Orlando back in 2020 and it’s cool to see you and your channel blossom over the years! -Eric

Such good videos, so well edited. A great blend of both avgeek and travel, all with a positive outlook on how lucky most of us are. As a nearly 2MM United flyer, hopefully I’ll see ya around some day. Thanks for the videos!

Great video. I work with adults who are developmentally disabled. My client Jon is 45 yrs. and emotionally about 2 yrs old. He can be a handful and it takes a lot of mental and emotional energy to deal with him every minute I am with him. If I had the opportunity to go with him on a Make A Wish vacation to Disneyworld, I would go with him in a heartbeat. The trip wouldn't be for me, it would be for him. Just to see the smile on his face when he sees a Disney character, or an attraction, it makes the whole experience worthwhile.

Amazing video as always. True inspiration for a lot of folks

Love your videos Paul!! I appreciate how you explain things and make everything fun!! Safe travels!!

love watching your videos. so we’ll edited and always puts me in a good mood!

Stumbled across your channel tonight while looking for aviation vlogs. Love the insight / glimpse into the industry and lifestyle but holy smokes was not expecting it to be paired with such a great perspective on life and gratitude. Thrilled to subscribe and have a ton of content to catch up on! Thanks for the great stuff, keep it up

Love your videos! Keep them coming!

These videos are great-- I am a real "'mental traveler" with you. The Sunrise Hike was incredible. Happy Holidays!

I lived there for 3 years. Loved that hike and flying over there. Love your channel!

Merry Christmas! Thank you for another great video.

Amazing, I was only thinking yesterday morning here in the UK that I hadn’t seen you post recently. Stay safe and thank you for taking me on your journey! Awesome

Another awesome adventure! You are killing the editing portion….every video is looking super professional! Thanks for sharing!

Always love your videos!

I absolutely love all your videos!!! Please keep up the great work!!!

Paul. Thank you for your wonderful videos, and all the reminders. We should be great for whatever we have.. God be with you & to all the airline workers

That is a great trip, I have done it as a passenger several times, I have done Diamond Head, but will have to check out that hike that you did, it looks like a lot of fun! Thanks for taking us along on your journey. Ken

Aloha 🤙🏽 Happy New Year 🎆 CAPTAIN 👨🏼‍✈️ Paul ! Mahalo for all the Fantastic adventures that you’ve VLOGED in the past and for all the ones that are to come! 🥳🎉👍🏽🤙🏽

I truly appreciate this video. It was simple, relatable, informative and helps you to remember how we can never take things for granted! I have never been to HI but I am so blessed to be able to travel where I travel to! I thank God every day and thank you for this. Safe travels.

This is just beautiful!!! Another great Adventure

Awesome I really enjoyed this,I'm not sure I could do the bridge but glad you did it so well.HNL is a favorite of mine too!

Great insight, enjoyed your video, keep up the great work

Love that mixed video between the flight deck and Honolulu! I’m an aspiring pilot and you are such an inspiration to teenagers like me who want nothing more than to get a job like yours one day. New Subscriber here along for the ride and looking forward to more pilot vlogs!

First video of yours that I've seen, and I love your positive attitude. Props to you for sharing.

Love this stuff. Keep it up. Hope that girl gets better as well 💜

Beautiful video. Very touching moment regarding the special passenger.

Thank you for sharing your adventures with us!!! ☺️

Always look forward to your videos. Some of the best on KZfaq!

I love these videos Martijn; thank you. Your films are beautifully shot & edited, we feel like we're there with you. Also we need a little shout out to your trusty Suzuki Jimny which seems to serve you reliably regardless of the weather or what it is asked of it! We all need a loyal little four wheeled friend - especially you!

Great vlogg!!! I was out of breath just watching ur climb. The sunrise was beautiful!!! We take so much for granted and need to appreciate all the time we have here on earth. God bless everyone 🙏 ❤ ✈ Thanks for sharing 🤓

Awesome video Paul. Thanks for the beautiful scenery and that epic climb.

You really make me miss flying. I worked as a flight attendant for a while. Nothing compares. Safe travels!

I love your videos! Please keep them coming.

Hey Paul, nice video. I'm talking from Brazil and you're an inspiration for me to become an airline pilot. Happy holidays!

Love flying United! Thank you.

Another awesome video! I commented on your "how much does it cost to commute" vid. Thank you! My wife is doing a lot of LAX-HNL now and I went with her New Year's weekend and again MLK weekend. I get how to be appreciative of what we have in this world. Thank you for reminding us. I usually pack my tennis rackets and head over the Kapiolani Park and pick up a couple of sets and my wife usually just finds a spot under a tree and chills while I play. My dad is from Honolulu and as many times as I've been to Oahu, we've never been up Koko Head. It is now for sure on our list to hit up next time we go. Thanks again and keep up the good work!

This is such a cool channel! Such great insight and you bring such authenticity! And bonus- your from MN and I am too! Sending you positivity from our home state!

@MyLayoverLife - Please keep the videos coming. I discovered you recently and I love watching them. I kick myself every day that I didn't become a pilot. I know most don't care, but I'd have really liked to hear a little more about the flight planning prior to take off from EWR (fuel load, V Speeds, TOW, etc). However, great share. Thanks! Chris

Your videos are always so upbeat and happy!

such an authentic reflection on the mountain top. Thanks

Really calming vlog! Love it

Hi Capt and congratulations. I’m a New subscriber and love your travels and videos. Thank you and Happy Holidays.

Love your calm personality. Greetings from Phoenix AZ! Great video.

Great vid. Beautiful, great editing too.

Great video Paul!

Really cool video sir. I'm from the UK and always admired you pilots as I describe your job the best job on the planet. What you guys do is incredible nd it's so cool to see your layover life. Subscribed 👍

The 767-400 is a really cool plane. I flew as a passenger on one from Frankfurt to Houston, about 11 hours. It was then CO47, now UA47, which now flies that trip using 777-200s. Sending best wishes!

The Koko Head stairs are a must. I’ve seen all types of people doing them, and some with weighted vests getting in their exercise. There is also a botanical garden inside the Koko crater that is free. Somehow your channel popped up and I’ve enjoyed the videos.

Just plain AWESOME😱

Well make a wish is a wonderful resource for people…some people cannot make the journeys or full fill their wish list like you are doing for one reason or another. For those that cannot, your videos are a wonderful resource. For health reasons, this trip up the stairs to see this beautiful site is now beyond the possibility for me to a accomplish so thank you for sharing this..at least through your video I can see the beauty of the struggle to get up there to see the beautiful views and I can imagine doing this myself…thank for your videos traveling the world..

amazing videos man, you've earned a sub

I was on a 777 from ORD > OGG for my 400th United flight. When I asked the captain to sign my ticket, I found out that's was the 36 year veteran's (Capt. Paul) retirement flight. Afterward, he left with his wife to the sunny beaches of Maui. On the return flight, I was on the 767 from OGG > EWR (in this case, it would be the 2nd longest domestic flight 😁).

This is such an underrated channel. The storytelling is so awesome. New sub

Just discovered your channel and perfect first watch.

Inspirational! Above and beyond the fact that you are an airline captain and family man. All around kudos!

You're one heck of an inspirational guy! Well done.

Absolutely love your videos ❤️

What a beautiful sunrise!!!!

Hi. Am a subscriber, also live in MSP. You and your videos really inspire me and touch my heart and soul. I love to fly. Thank you for sharing your passion. Happy flying and safe travels. Scott in Burnsville.

I love watching your videos. I have actually never been on a plane before. I am terrified of heights so I am terrified of flying.

You are just so cool. Love the channel here!

Amazing views from the top. That hike looks similar to one we have here in Colorado Springs, CO. It's the Manitou Incline, which is most likely tougher considering it is just under a mile and gains 2000'. Awesome that you get out there and seek beauty like that.

What a great message, Capt Paul

Thank you for sharing your trip.

Wow. Awesome! I hope to one day go to Hawaii. Looks amazing!

Very interesting to learn of the cockpit differences between the 300 and the 400. Lovely ending to this video, very poignant and meaningful.

I've done that hike before but never to catch the sunrise. Very nice! Definitely need to make it back there sometime.

Aloha... What a fantastic meaningful message.. I too have done Koko Head and it's not easy yet far rewarding once you've conquered the top. E Como mai!!!

Amazing ! Bon voyage !

Your channel is awesome and I really feel like I’ve gotten in before you go big time! Flew this route years ago and while the 767 is awesome in economy for couples, feel like they should upgrade the interior to give it a more up to date biz class. Hope to see you in my cockpit one day…

I’ve taken both trips that you are showing here. I’ve spent a lot of time coming and going from the Minneapolis airport… and having family in Honolulu made it all to tempting to not go and visit when I needed to! Thanks for sharing!

I like that fact that your getting excercise also, i was a truck driver so i know what its like to be seated for the working hours. You are one of the first guys to respond to my comments before, im going for my license now, PPl.

I hope I get the privilege to fly with you one day Paul! Currently in the Aviate Academy process. Waiting to hear back- I believe about conditional acceptance. I have yet to truly uncover my PASSION in life. The joy I get watching your travels and the things you get to do outside your job really speak to me. Not to mention what you’re doing for work seems unbelievable. Best office in the world. Thanks for sharing all this. Gives me hope there’s more out there for me! Take care Paul!

Thank you for sharing the experience and more important bringing a closer look at behind the scenes.....

I love how you mix the travel in with your piloting. FYI, that was Koko Crater you climbed. Koko Head is out across the highway. Hanauma Bay is the crater and Koko Head is lava flow. I lived near Koko Head School back in the early 70's. Keep up the great vlogs!

At 2:40 you can see the water inside the concrete barriers. Went there one night with my brother and turned off our dive lights. Running your hands over the rocks/concrete you'd see the seaweed (or what ever it is) lighting up IT WAS AWESOME!

Gorgeous cruise-we did that last summer as well!

Fellow Minnesotan and Pilot. Love your videos!

I think I’d pass on your pre sunrise hike! The view is lovely but my bones couldn’t take it.

Cutting some onions at the end there bud.

Aloha from Hawai’i 🤙🏽 Mahalo for not trashing our state. A lot of people do these travel blogs and use it as a platform to feature less than desirable content. Mahalo a nui 🤙🏽

Great Message Brother, Please Keep The Love of Travel Up and Keep Motivating People to Travel!!! #PositiveVibes #Mahalo

Could hear it in your voice Captain safe travels✈️

Thank you for sharing ❤

Wonderful video. ❤

Wow what an excellent trip and video.

Good stuff my man

Love your videos my dude. I'm at ramper at EWR, actually taking my admissions assessment into the Aviate Academy this month! Hope to one day work a flight with you, on the ground or in the air! Keep on my man!

I cannot imagine walking up those stairs. I’ve had both knees replaced but still cannot imagine walking all those stairs but it was a breathtaking to see.

the ending got me all teary eyed
