    I work for Southwest on the ramp in Denver! Glad to finally see you fly on Southwest! Those large white boxes you filmed going off and on the air plane was human remains or a dead body! Southwest does a lot of those! Looks like yall had an extra person flying with you!

    I've landed at Bill Clinton airport where I've had a happy ending lol. I saw what you did there. You will try anything to entertain us with all those arduous flights, you must be exhausted by all of that flying. I don't know how you do it. You're right, Southwest Airlines get a bad rap, but I don't think they are that bad at all. Thank you for your great wit yet again and entertaining video of your travels.

    I haven't done anything crazy like hop around the country on one plane, but one time, I did fly on United from New Orleans to Newark, so I could connect to a 777-300 flight on to San Francisco. I had never flown a 777 and that was an opportunity to do so. I also did an around the world business class journey using SkyTeam miles. I went from New Orleans, to Los Angeles, to Seattle, to London, to Rome, to Seoul, to New York, to New Orleans. Got my one and only A380 experience on Korean A380 between ICN and JFK.

    You should do a challenge of flying from IAH to HOU however you have to fly around the world and your stops have to alternate between cities in the northern hemisphere and southern hemisphere. That would be crazy but if anyone is able and willing, you are the man!!!

    The Mongolian currency conversion at the end was quite helpful, thank you! 😂😂
  • What's always fun is when you have to plan your own re-route because of the weather. I once hopped on one of the last SWA planes out of Midway before a snowstorm hit having personally come up with the 3 stop routing to my destination before I jumped onboard. The 1-800 customer service guy was fantastic as I was sitting in the terminal w/ snow falling all around, followed along on his computer, and booked all my tickets in some oddball routing way more complicated than the computer could ever figure out. But 4 flights and 3 planes later I was at my destination probably only about 6 hours tardy. Still, I got there that day! TY SWA.

    I grew up in the Long Beach area. Jetblue used to serve that airport , and it's so much nicer flying out of there , than sitting in traffic to/from LAX. I heard that , when Jetblue left Long Beach , Southwest bought all of their slots.

    Kattaru from patron here: I could not resist the urge. The wheelchairs in Dallas: From what I've heard, Dallas Love uses Prospect Airport Services, but like always SW pax be wilding. The Black chairs are for the proper airline, but The blue chair most likely belongs to entirely different contractor, and at my airport those blue Staxi wheelchairs would belong to Jet blue. I hope they get their chair back!

    In 2003 I took a SWA Flight from Albany, NY to Burbank via BWI, MEM, HOU, and ABQ. The agents joked it was their "See America Tour". The flight continued on to Oakland, and there was on Pax onboard who did that whole trip!

    Southwest's model is really good for passengers when things go right, but when the FAA had that system crash it hurt SWA more than most because their planes were scattered far and wide. I wish more airlines used this old bus route model, but hub-and-stoke sadly makes a lot more sense from an airline point of view.
  • Hey Noel was amazing as always to join you aboard, glad you had a great trip! I recently read a book by Simon Sinak, he mentions how Southwest's strong sense of purpose, driven by Herb Kelleher's values, has revolutionised the airline industry. Putting their 'why' first, not just the 'what' or 'how,' has turned Southwest into more than just a company – it's a force for change. This reminds us all that success comes from staying true to our core values.

    In the past few years I've take a few SWA flights that eventually got me to my destination. The first was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Dallas - Albuquerque, and then a few months later it was Grand Rapids - Chicago - Colorado Springs - Las Vegas (overnight) then on to Long Beach to visit family. I'd like to fly them more often, but I have a couple of airports closer to home so now it's Delta, United or occasionally American. Good video - glad you shared your experience.
  • I salute you for doing 14 hours on southwest I can barely do 5 hours before I get jumpy their seats are just comfortable for a few hours
  • Thank you again... I have had the fortune at while working in the US, lived in each city you stopped in Houston was my favorite. Loved eating seafood in Galveston. Greetings from Sweden.
  • @americanneopilot
    So glad to see my favorite travel YouTuber trying this adventure! I was counting down the days until I got to see you try this one. I always fly with Southwest as it feels more like a joyride rather than just a transportation service 😂

    How is Rachel? We haven't heard anything about her health in a lil while. I suffer from lupus & muscular sclerosis so I sympathize with her on so many levels. I'm always thinking of her and keep her in my prayers cuz living with pain while being a full time Mother is challenging! I hope she and your fabulous children are doing great! Thank you for my coffee and cigarette entertainment! I enjoy your videos so much! Take care and God bless 🙏🫶
