  • I’m flight attendant jojo and since I’m returning to flying soon my company has asked me to pick a new airport base! I go through my thought process for how I picked each base and what order I selected them. Hope you enjoy the plane spotting at the beginning.

    Oh Jojo, my fave thing to do, watch planes. My son as well. There's nothing like it. It almost looks like they're going to fall out of the sky. Do this often. I'd choose Boston, my neck of the woods. Lived in MA. I love New England & history!😊✈️🛫🛬

    Hello JoJo!! I loved watching this video, and hearing you discuss choices for a base. Wherever you end up I hope is a great adventure for you!! I love watching planes come and go. I live so close to PDX, I could see quite a few every day. But, not for quite a few months. I saw one yesterday! My favorite plane is the 777, because I love the huge GE90 engines!! Look forward to your next video, have a great day!!

    Hi Jordan!!! Great news about you getting back to fly. Love when you been watching landings.... so close!!!!! Amazing place to be. Hope you stay in LAX because commuting is always crazy thing to go through. I did in the past and at some point you get so tired of it. You look great when you were at home telling us about the bases. Life is something exciting and life as a FA is exciting itself!!! If you invite us to travel with you, then I take the chance with FA Jojo for sure!!!!! Have a nice day. Bye.

    Even after working ramp I still enjoy watching aircraft do their thing. It's actually relaxing. There is a plane viewing area at MSP that I try to take sometime to stop at when near by there. Tough choice to pick which plane but would say 737 as a first round pick. Congratulations on the 4 year anniversary at the airline

Smack dead center of the Country and very easy to get to any place in the US with ease. And an airport that hardly ever has delays.....Give me LAX and HB any day! Gawd I miss HB!

    I look forward to coming along with you. I have downloaded flight aware and on my days off I will treat myself to a Starbucks then go park at an area right across from the main runway at YVR. I get out my binoculars and see what is coming and going. I watched Air France take off on Sunday going non-stop from YVR to PPT. Yes! Tahiti! Beaches and sunshine...please. I am trying to memorize airport codes too. The Canadian ones are hard as they all start with “Y” and most of the letters don’t make sense. YCD is Nanaimo. I hope you get back to flying soon and if not, enjoy lots of time down under. Stay safe.

I hope you come to SFO and you are right about the lack of choices and the expense. I mainly take the Transcon on your airline because of the lack of nonstop choices. NYC would be my third pick for you.

    I personally would look for something close to home or at least in the same time zone and I would choose to fly out of one of the domestic hub airports like DCA. I really wouldn’t have the patience to fly long-haul. Unfortunately, our AA base is closing this month, but we still have a Delta base and JetBlue plans to add a base sometime later on.

    Never thought PHL as safe at all but BOS i fully agree with, an awseone place although damn cold in winter.
    MIA has a strange vibe to it but did not mind too much especially as you say, the beaches.
    Finally DC we stayed at Tysons corner, good choice though for a pair of avgeeks with the two branches of the Ntnl air & space museum there👍❤

Could the system work that way? Or do you "have to" move and stay in Miami? Thanks in advance for your answer. I have been dying to know this answer for a long time!

    What’s the best way to get to In n Out from LAX (for a layover) Is there a train or bus there? If you know that’d be great :)

      Walking 😁 you can walk from the airport to it. Or if you're at a hotel then Uber. If you're not far then it shouldn't be more than $10

    Wow, they furloughed 8k, but to date, will be having another hiring round at the end of the month. Did some of those furloughed decide not to come back?
