For anyone who doesn't know, TODAY IS DAN'S BIRTHDAY🥳 Let's all bombard him with birthday messages😉❤ /Oskar
And that comment tells me that Oskar controls the Oskar and Dan channel
TY for telling us. 🙂👍
Happy birthday Dan❤
Happy birthday Dan! I hope Oskar spoils you senseless
Happy birthday 🎉
As a child of divorced parents I feel for you & my parents only lives 20 minutes apart when they got seperated! What a great moment for you Dan!!
I live in Dusseldorf, Germany! And this is the same situation for me… I don’t have family in the US but we go there often! We were soo happy that Delta Airlines
continued the nonstop flights to Atlanta last week after not doing so for 3 years! I literally had tears in my eyes ❤
That's amazing! It feels like a bunch of good routes and flight schedule pairings have been lost to the pandemic. Hope more of them are brought back.
they will close it down
@@clausstimpfig3803 Yes! From september to april! And then it will start operating again!
@@maximgastes159 They dropped DUS, again.
I love how in this video you’re both your normal professional self, yet also showing so much emotion-it’s such a joy!! And thank you for always helping us with your inside tips for making our airline experiences better 💖👍🏼
I took the inaugural flight from Newark to Gothenburg on the same plane's return leg, it was a surreal experience to see Gothenburg for the first time and I'm really glad you have this route now.
This is incredible and how far you've gone this seems like a present to you and I hope you enjoy it and I hope you will continue making these great honest reviews.
I’m so happy you got to have a direct flight! Coming from a smaller city, I can relate to having to connect to go anywhere.
As a half Japanese and Swedish with my fatter's family based in Gothenburg, I know the significance! Though my parents aren't separated, we do go to Gothenburg every summer and every time we all wished that there was a direct flight from Tokyo to Gothenburg. The "pain" of always transiting in Copenhagen (even though one of my fav airport) is not the same as flying direct somewhere like you said! One day maybe we will see a Tokyo - Gothenburg flight, but I do not have my hopes up as we just finally got a Stockholm - Tokyo flight! Happy for you Dan, keep up the good work and all the best!
which airline flies Stockholm-Tokyo?
@@succindallroy1I know ANA was supposed to open a ARN - HND direct flight but unfortunately it got postponed (hopes high it will commence soon!). But I don’t think there is any airline flying direct atm?
Super chuffed for you Daniel! Glad to see your family bond is still so strong despite a whole ocean separating them! I haven’t had the opportunity to fly a narrowbody long haul, but it can’t be that bad. Sure, the available space is noticeably less than a dual-aisle plane, but the way people talk about it, it’s like the widebody is a palace in comparison to a modern narrowbody.
Great video documenting the experience. Having gone back and forth between Gothenburg and Phoenix regularly throughout my childhood, this was a big day in my life. I can only imagine how important it it was for you. I can see myself at 4:21!
Happy birthday dear boy, your ability to express your emotions had me in tears, so happy for you, big hugs
Dan, your authenticity and humor is always refreshing. The travel review industry needs this kind of storytelling.
Gothenburg's airport reminds me a lot of the pleasant surprise we had when we chose to fly back to US in December directly from Bergen, Norway, rather than from Oslo. Bergen's Flesland Airport had some lovely shops and eateries, a pretty good-sized duty free, and was clean, efficient and crowd-free.
I very much know your feel. When I grew up we lived in a city that did have international flights, just not to my dads country - or at least on a regular. I regularly connected via Vienna, Zurich, Munich etc just to get to visit my dad.
Go on Dan! Thank you for all your wonderful content :)
Happy birthday Dan!♥️✈️🥳🎉 So glad that you got to do this for your birthday! Thank you for the excellent channel and videos.
I cried at how meaningful this was for you! Congrats!!
Happy birthday Dan! Pray for you the blessing of many more birthdays to share with Oskar!
Happy birthday, Dan! Thanks for blessing us all with your amazing content. Hope this next year is the best yet!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!! You are by far my favorite aviation youtuber. I love how authentic your videos are - that you always tell the truth, and they have helped me decide what to book. As an avgeek i love watching your videos when the come out. Keep doing what you’re doing!
Sam Chui?
@@edinger1978 hahaha very funny
@@edinger1978he’s finished
Happy Birthday and so happy for you getting direct access to NYC!
Wow! It’s heartening to hear you talk about how the newly inaugurated direct flight from Gothenburg to NYC reminds you of your early flying days as a teenager and the emotional impact it has left. I hope the president of SAS has taken note of the praiseworthy aspects of the flight and plane as well as well as the deficiencies. Stay well
Happy Birthday!!!!!! What a touching story. So glad that this became a reality for you, finally!!
When I was flying Vietnam Airlines the food came out and I was sitting in the last row in business class. It took 4 hours just to dish out the main course, let alone get everything together. It wasn’t a narrow body either it was an A350! I found that madness, and the A321 seems like a small plane so slow service but it still seemed amazing
Thank you for a beautiful review and moving video. I share your joy in the opening of this new route and the sadness for the days when Gothenburg and New York were so far apart. Happy Birthday!!
I flew this exact plane, SE-DMO, from CPH-BOS on Thursday! In seat 2A. I was very impressed with SAS - this was my first flight with them since flying to Oslo in business class in 1999.
Superman has Kryptonite, us Scandinavians have Gott&Blandat , or so it seem when one just frab one tiny little bit , then its no more.
🎉🎉 HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!! Have the best day, and thank you for your honest, enjoyable flight reviews that we know you spend so much time on! I’ve been subscribed for a long time and I always watch your videos! 🎉🎉
Loved watching this Dan and lovely hearing your story and why the flight is so significant. I also visited GOT last month and it was such a lovely city! Safe travels you guys!❤️
Such a beautiful story Dan! Thanks for sharing it with us.
I love the ”SkA dU InTe ha LiTe gOdis!” 11:37
Happy birthday!!!! I can't tell you how much I related to your secondary city comments. A few years after my parents divorced we moved to Dallas, TX and my dad lived in Erie, PA. Not as severe as your distance but I would've been so nice to have a direct. Keep it up!!!
Hobart resident here. Whilst there are direct flights to most Australian capital cities, the majority of flying is via Melbourne or Sydney. This can add up to half a day of travel time. It's so much nicer to have direct flights. Presently there is one international service to Auckland NZ, but it's not daily.
You're probably not going to get to read this, but you're such an amazing person. After such a hard childhood you still ended up a wonderful human being. You helped me get over my fear of flying by loving planes and luxury. I also lived a childhood of separated parents.
Thanks Dan.
I'm about to board Polaris Tokyo -> Newark. 777-200.
“Deeply concerned about my objectivity” staggeringly powerful endorsement.
This is great news, Dan! Having grown up in San Francisco I long for some direct flights there too.
Congrats Dan on having that special moment! Loved the video.
Happy Birthday Dan!!
I could be wrong, but, since this flight is an inaugural flight, it is possible that the meal service could be longer than usual, and it probably didn’t help since the galley is smaller.
Happy Birthday, Dan!🎉🎉 Looks like you had a pretty incredible flight. I'm so happy for you! Oskar's mom is so cute. Did she have lots of fun flying business class? I understand how you feel about connecting flights from your home airport. It's the same way at my local airport. Even when I go to a bigger airport, like Syracuse(yes, I live in NY, but in Central Upstate, 5 hrs. W of the City) I still can't get a nonstop flight, unless I happen to be flying to ATL.
Happy Birthday again, Dan, and here's to many more years of the Nonstop Dan Channel! Love to Oskar, too!
I totally understand the feeling.
I live in a second city, too. Cebu. Although we always had long-haul flights (LAX, Middle East), it’s not as many as Manila has. And we always needed to connect elsewhere. So any announcement of a new destination from my hometown brings joy. And I make sure to support it by flying the route when I have the chance.
I'm so stoked for you, Dan (and Oskar and his Mom).
Whoever cut the cake like that needs to be fired immediately. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Nice to see Oskar's mama. You both really do have legends as mothers.
As always, such a pleasure to spend time with you - so sweet to see you with your man & mother-in-law.
Having lived through the days where longhaul flights were broken up,I empathise completely with you,I remember my first non stop to Africa & Muscat. Not loving flying any less time I had to be on a plane was worth gold to me.
Hope you all had a great time in NYC,I was there last week to see the new production of "Oliver" - really good - & celebrate a friends birthday.
As ever,wishing you both very best wishes💥👊❤️💯👏👏💙💙👌💯👋⭐️'s💯✌️
The minute I saw the route launch announcement I thought of you - even without knowing all the story behind it I knew you'd be super glad about this one.
Happy birthday, Dan! Hope you have a wonderful day with Oskar!
Only just seeing this particular segment, but enjoy for a long time Nonstop Dan’s presentation. This one is tremendous in both its content and authenticity. I hope by now he’s a regular on this flight… but he also is many places in the world most of the time. So sweet also that Oscar’s mom and Oscar were with him on the trip.
not gonna lie it is kinda odd to me that people in the comments (and Dan himself) care so much about not getting a simple connecting flight.
I think a lot of it is symbolic when you've had two homes on different continents for a large part of your life and traveled between them 4 times a year. That said flying is exhausting enough and a single 8h flight is A LOT better than 8h + the connecting flight itself + the 2-3 hour connection...
Grattis Dan!
Happy birthday Dan!
Happy Birthday DAN! Have been watching your channel forever!
Happy birthday Dan! I wish you many more birthdays and healthy, happy miles. Thoroughly enjoy your vid’s!
@NonstopDan I couldn't believe you posted this video on the SAME DAY my wife is (currently) on this exact flight going from Newark to Göteborg. I sent this video to her as she was waiting for her 2nd flight from LAX to EWR. As I type this she is on the flight likely south of Greenland on her way.
Happy birthday Dan hope you have a fantastic birthday love your channel and your no nonsense approach to reviews and transparency.
Happy Birthday, Dan! What a lovely gift you gave yourself! Better late than never! I am enjoying this review. Your meal sounds great, even the delay seemed okay. I am so glad you did this.
what an emotional rollercoaster for you glad it went off well ❤🏴
Happy birthday Dan, keep up the amazing reviews and spend time with people you love
What a celebration sharing this important video on your Birthday Dan !!🎉🙌🏼😌🎁 Happy birthday!!! 🎈 Amazing video!!
Happy Birthday, Dan!!!
Happy birthday, Dan! What a sweet video. I know this was 17 years too late. But now you can go back and forth quicker.
Happy Birthday, Dan! Safe travels…and awesome video (as always).
As a Kazakh living in the US, I get you. I fly for 24 hours twice a year just to see my home country and then back, I wish we had a nonstop service to the US
Happy Birthday, Dan 💐🎂🍾 wishing you all the best.
Im so happy for you Dan. i know it's a big deal. I live in PDX and am so happy there is a direct flight to AMS being Dutch.
Happy birthday Dan! 🎉🎉 So glad to see this route! Great video as always!
I absolutely love this vlog so much it’s amazing and i feel all your energy and emotions all around
Happy birthday Dan!
Thank you for giving us all these amazing videos!
That grated metal on the air intake looks beutiful
I remember when I first moved to USA from Australia, the flight route took about 38 hours door to door. San Francisco to LAX, LAX to Honolulu, Honolulu to Auckland NZ, Auckland to Melbourne, it was brutal. Sometimes an unscheduled stop in Nadi Fiji if Auckland was fogged in, they would pick up fuel from Nadi. On those old United 747, with the communal TV's in the isle, with golf programs.. Ugh. United only recently did SFO to MEL non stop couple of days a week.
We appreciate your hard work keep up man
Happy birthday, Dan!!!🎉 Hope you have a good one!
If you think Gotheberg is isolated, try Montevideo, Uruguay.... it's far far far away from everywhere!!! 😅
Many happy returns Dan.
Happy belated birthday nonstop Dan! Did you know that in 1980, SAS flew Gothenburg to JFK schedule nonstop on a 747-100/200 /Combi.?
Love the digital graphic seating chart and most importantly, love your sweater ;)
This is your best video so far....I could hear the excitement in your voice from the beginning to the end 😊
Happy Birthday DAN, may your next trip around the sun we amazing and full of love and amazing travel.
How exciting, and especially for Oscar’s mom! Love your honest reviews. 😊
Great meeting you on this flight Dan and happy to see some of my bald head got featured in the video haha! :D
Happy birthday Dan, wish you the best!❤🎉
Happy birthday Dan. 🎉. Much love from South Africa ❤
It was great meeting you at GOT and I noticed that I made a little appearance in your video 😂 Great review and thanks for being so open and candid about how much this nonstop flight means to you! I hope it will be a success for both SAS and GOT and that it will be a daily flight in the future! ✈️💙🇺🇸
Awesome video! I took the EWR-GOT flight the day before you uploaded this! Also, the blonde FA on the left side of the group photo at 2:37 worked my flight and was amazing.
I love your business class reviews Dan! Happy birthday! Would you advise flying a narrow body on economy on a route like this?
Thanks for the video, great work. It does show that SAS yet again seems to get it not quite right. How would one feel being allocated one of the double seats if travelling alone? This reminds me of their much hyped first class‘ergonomic’ chair on their dc10/md11. I experienced it where the foot rest was broken resulting in my legs dangling in the air unable to reach the floor, and their business class on the 767 where the flat bed was achieved by adding a piece to the front of the seat making it extremely difficult to get out of the chair.
Happy birthday 🎉 My dude
HAPPY BELATED, DAN!!!! YOU ROCK!!!
Happy Birthday, Dan!
Grattis på födelsedagen Dan, hoppas du hade en riktigt bra dag fylld med godsaker :) Hör av dig ifall du är i Toronto någon gång i framtiden…skulle vara kul och träffas! :D
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!! AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW TO YOU OSKAR!!!
We live in OKC and there are few flights to locations I consider to be final destination worthy.
at 10:18 i can tell thats the intrepid museum that i visited recently witch was a long flight infact i was in newyork when you landed!. but also i can see how painful this can be for you
Very special review! I’ve seen many SAS planes at Newark, but always to Stockholm/Copenhagen/Oslo. My parents divorced as well, but I was already in college and I couldn’t have cared less. They both remarried happily. I got divorced too, but my children were young, and my ex went to jail - I could write a book about it! I enjoy seeing you and Oskar, although I thought he was South American, not Swedish! Have you heard of the late great opera singer, Birgit Nilsson? I think she was from your part of Sweden!
DAN I wish you would have shown us the premium economy on the A321 as its unique. SAS did a great job outfitting their A321 since most have only J and Y classes.
Slow catering doesn't really bother me all that much on a daytime flight. But on the return if it takes that long, that's problematic, particularly if you don't get a stop at a lounge or somewhere else to grab a bite before departure.
I live in Glasgow, and I guess the difference between Gothenburg and Glasgow is that Glasgow is a much more *connected* airport. I can take flights with Emirates, Air Transat, and TUI. It's also the largest city in Scotland, although Edinburgh seems to have an insane amount of long-haul flights for it's size.
I'm still waiting for the day I actually do fly long-haul out of either Glasgow or Edinburgh though.
CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🙏 ✈️
Happy birthday Dan ! , wish you all the best 💙🔥🎈🎁
Har kollat jättemånga av dina videor men (såklart) ingen som är så Sverigeinriktad som denna, så kul att se! "Cake that's been cut in a way that should be illegal" :D Grattis på födelsedagen och hoppas du skär tårtan på samma sätt som en homage. Och haha, som sydlänning blir det guldstjärna för uttalet på "Ska du inte ha lite geeodis"
Thank you for sharing your experience ! Your video is really good, we appreciate it. Newrest team is catering these flights and we are proud of their work, and happy that the client’s passengers is fully satisfied.☺
HAPPY BIRTHDAY DAN!!!!! You rock!
I flew the same seating configuration on TAP Portugal‘s A321lr between Frankfurt and Lisbon which was my best European business class flight ever.
Happy birthday Dan! All the best. 😘
