As an employee in DTW, we'd love to have you back! Note: on the advertisements in the jetbridge when boarding a Delta flight, take a look for the one with the "This is what see you soon looks like." The model in the advertisement is the Daughter of one of Delta's flight attendants who (the daughter) sadly passed away a couple years ago. Every time she (and those who know in the Delta family) board, it's a touching tribute that was completely coincidental.
I'm an Aircraft Mechanic for Delta and seeing you pull this off without 1 mechanical delay. Is a feather in my cap. Thanks for your Loyalty. Keeping my family fed.
I swear I saw you at ATL TSA and you were on my flight to DTW to see friends for the holidays! I got star struck and was too nervous to come up and say hi, but I'm a huge fan of your videos, especially as a 2nd generation Delta employee, now living in Atlanta. Thank you for your loyalty, Jeb. You are the best part of Delta.
@Jeb Brooks Thanks. I'm not a member of flight crew. I'm with our Reservation Sales and Customer Care team. I honestly didn't want to embarrass myself if it wasn't you. Next time, if I'm so lucky, I'll be braver.
My Dad was a Captain for NWA. I grew up in the suburbs of Minneapolis. It was so fun to see most of the NWA hubs. MSP is my favorite. Whenever I’m in MSP I can feel my Dad, I know he is nearby. I can remember the red tails in the air. LAX is my second home, awful airport, not such a great city, but amazing people and culture!
My worst delay on Delta was JFK to SEA, the pilot called in sick at the last minute. The replacement pilot got stuck in traffic because it was right around the start of the evening rush by the time we were supposed to board! 3 hour delay, but they somehow made up an hour in the air so we were only 2 hours late. They also made everything other than alcohol FREE on the flight as compensation!
I had a 4-hour delay on an ATL to JFK flight that caused me to miss my connection around 7 or 8 years ago, but that was due to thunderstorms, and nobody can really be blamed for that. Plus they were extremely accommodating, and were somehow able to find 15 seats on one flight the very next day (was part of a field trip with my high school), so Delta's been very high on my list since.
Hey, that's me in the bloopers! It was awesome seeing you behind the scenes on what you do for this channel and for us! I definitely was tired, but seeing one of my favorite aviation/travel channels in-person was surreal, so I had to say hi. Keep up the good work Jeb!
@@GreenerGrass I’m big fan and subscriber! I know you will make it because you wouldn’t have posted this! I’m also a Delta employee and I like Suzanne hat!
It still amazes me that you can literally go from one coast to the other and back in one days time. It makes me think of Lewis and Clark and also all the people in wagon trains back in the day. They never could've envisioned such a thing.
So happy you did Delta hub hopping. I'm completely loyal to Delta. I am in a wheelchair, and Delta treats me like a princess. They usually give me a row to myself, because my medical appliances can't be stored in cargo, they have to be with me. Delta will frequently give me free upgrades, too. I've never had another airline do that. I go out of my way to be polite and friendly to the cabin crew. In return, they give me extra drinks, and they're always sneaking me more Biscoff, yum. They also come chat with me a lot, which is very kind. Why would I want t want to fly any other airline?
This put a MASSIVE smile on my face. So good to see Delta's staff being so compassionate go above and beyond to ensure your comfort and a positive experience. This is 100% what the industry standard should be!
Congrats on 500k MSP is the best airport, and the view you get going west is incredible! I flew from MSP to PSP and got the most amazing pics (I got to do some fun math too). But that brings a delayed flight story: we were early but there was a plane at our gate still. Then they couldn’t get the fuel over. We spent over an hour on the plane just sitting at the airport with no clue as to what was happening.
It's worth mentioning that each Sky Club at ATL has slightly different hours. For early morning flights, plan to stop at T Gates just after TSA. That club's open at 4:30 a.m. or if you have a late night flight plan to stop at Concourse e Sky Club. That Club closes at 11:00 p.m. or thereabouts.
Ever since you did your United Hub Hopping Video I was always interested in what a Delta Hub Hopping would look like, but I was also adding LaGuardia as a hub which made it a lot more confusing to see how it could be done
Did the Delta Hub hop last May. Route: Den-SLC-SEA-LAX-ATL-JFK-DTW-MSP-DEN. But, took a 3 day weekend, had to visit each Skyclub in every hub. It was fun. After seeing your version, thinking about another go at it, but I want to include BOS and LGA. Enjoyed it!
Hey Jeb, love your channel and videos. I'm a gate agent for another legacy carrier and wanted to say thanks for the appreciation shout out in the video! Means a lot when passengers realize the toughness to the job haha, that's also what makes the role worth it :) seeing people be grateful for how you've helped them.
Great video!! I was literally typing a comment asking about the omission of the Boston hub when Jeb preemptively addressed that critique around 17:00. Thank you for acknowledging that Boston was indeed upgraded from focus city to hub a couple of years ago. In another iteration of this trip, it would also be cool to see if an itinerary could cover Delta’s LGA hub in addition to the JFK one :).
@@steelers3814 I agree the distinction of “legacy” hub seems subjective. But I think Delta upgraded Boston to “hub” in 2019. And Seattle was already sort of a hub when Delta inherited it from Northwest… it was one of Northwest’s gateways to the Pacific, and Delta kept building on that.
My delayed crew story. Flying from LAX to SEA. Passengers boarded and settled. The cabin crew ready for take-off announced a delay because the flight crew delayed on the inbound flight. Flight crew arrives and heads for the cockpit. Captain announces, Sorry for the delay, we’ll be underway shortly for our flight to Minneapolis. As one, the entire passenger cabin rises, everyone think they've gotten on the wrong flight.
You’ll probably make it. If it can be done on any US airline, it’s Delta with its stellar on-time performance. When my wife took JetBlue to Boston a few months ago, she was complaining about the delays. I told her that living in Atlanta and flying Delta almost exclusively, we get spoiled with timeliness.
Your map with all the Delta Hubs clearly exposes their biggest coverage issue: the Southwest. They said Austin was their only "Focus City" post covid but as a frequent traveler from from AUS I have not seen any new flights added since covid. Always enjoy your videos.
It's so fitting that I watched this video on a Delta flight from my home of MSP to Frankfurt Germany the other day, while using the free Wi-Fi for SkyMiles members! Great video, Jeb! Hope you visit MSP more often!
Before watching the video: My guess, yes you will make it! Btw, Boston and New York Laguardia are Delta hubs too. After watching the video: COFFEE lol. My body is bad with coffee. Ok, legacy hubs, makes sense. As for tracking flights, I use flightradar24 for plane departures and arrivals and flightaware for tracking planes on the map. Not sure when you did this but you got lucky if it was this month cause the winter storms caused a lot of problems and its good none of your flights got cancelled. Congrats on 500K subs, and happy holidays!
Dude! This was nuts! Honestly don't know how you did it but kudos for reaching your goal. And, amazingly, you remained pleasant throughout. For context, I'm 71 years old & started flying @ the age of seven because my dad worked for Eastern Airlines as a Station Agent in Pensacola, FL. My last flight was.on Southwest from P'cola to Austin, TX back in 2016. Every aspect of air travel is almost unrecognizable to me at this point in my life. Still, I have many fond memories. I feel I'm living vicariously through your channel. Well done!
Gate Agents truly deserve the world, they are the backbone of the customer experience and have the hardest job of all. Telling passengers bad news is never easy, especially this time of year. Cheers to them!
I can’t wait to see the southwest “focus city” hopping , also my favorite chapter in the video was departing Atlanta really felt like a lot more was packed into that chapter by far my favorite
My Wife, Mother and I recently flew round trip to Phoenix from Seattle on Delta taking 5 different flights between us. It may be a winter operations thing to account for possible de-icing and storm diversions, but every flight we took, including those that left 15-25 mins late were early on arrival. They seem to pad their schedules rather well.
Delta is a very well oiled machine! Years ago I toured Tech Ops in ATL! As part of the 1994 Airliners International show! Being from the 🌃 Southeast,Delta was our Family's Airline! We were only 29 minutes by air to the Atlanta hub!
I loved this video! It was so interesting to watch you try to fly to every Delta hub in 24 hours. I can't believe you actually did it! You're a true aviation enthusiast. I hope you'll do another Hub Hopping video in the future. I would love to see you try to visit all of the hubs of another airline. Keep up the great work!
Merry Christmas Jeb and Suzanne. I absolutely love your channel and this video was a lot of fun. Congrats on making it to all of the hubs in your 24 hour time window. Suzanne asked which flight tracker app we use…I personally use FlightRadar 24 at the moment. It was especially helpful this past week as I was in Chicago on a business trip when the weather issues started happening. I hope someday to cross paths with the two of you at some airport somewhere. I love your photos from the plane and especially the sunrise/sunset shots. Happy New Year. I’m excited to see where you take us in 2023.
Amazing vid, as always, Jeb! I'm a DL FA based in BOS and I'd love to have you on one of my flights. Keep up the great work! You always have the most fun, energetic vlogs.
My one dawn flight was from DFW to ORD. Even though the flight was decently full, there was something still so hushed about watching the sun rise from the air.
DTW is by far my favorite airport... I like ATL as well but there's a higher risk of delays and cancellations there due to the high volume they handle (very well designed airport tho!... it has to be when you're handling 100+ million a year).
Paused. I think this looks like a 24 hour dream come true and would DEFINITELY be the experience of a lifetime for me !!! Its unknown now how much time I have left but this sure does give me a goal to aspire toward. I have always LOVED everything about airports ( some more than others ) and every flight I've ever been on !! I'm excited just to see how this turns out !
Congratulations on making all 7 hubs AND 500K subscribers in that trip! I look forward to your weekly videos-you & Suzanne have expanded my bucket list exponentially. Wishing you a joyful HollyDay season!
Jeb, DTW is my home airport, every flight I've taken, with exception to one out of ORD has been from there. Thanks for visiting DTW, I hope you enjoyed it, even for the short time you were transiting through there
I work in DTW! Luckily for you! I’m also part of the deice team. And I can tell you that you more than likely won’t be sitting on our deice pad for more than around 5 min if we’re just spraying off frost. The cockpit crew takes about 30 seconds to prepare the aircraft, 2 min fo runs to deice, and another min or 2 for the cockpit crew to reconfigure the aircraft and start rolling again. Hope to see you back in DTW soon!
Congratulations on succeeding with this challenge. You and your wife are a great team! I'm sure you were so glad to walk into your own home and give her a hug after all that craziness (and lack of sleep) Wishing you every happiness and a very Merry Christmas!
i'm originally from minneapolis but my family moved to los angeles. MSP-LAX has arguably one of the most beautiful flight paths in the country! i fly delta between the two cities often.
I don't know if you explained why you took those flights in that order but that would be interesting to learn. Congrats on hitting the half-million subscriber mark!!
Even though Southwest Airlines doesn’t call their airline hubs “hubs” you should try to go through the main southwest airports. ATL, BWI, MDW, DEN, BNA, OAK, PHX, and STL. Congrats on 500k! Road to 1milly
I can kind of forgive not doing two hubs in the same city, but there are folks who fly into one of them and out of the other, as part of the same travel direction.
Have been waiting for this!! Can't wait to see American Airlines! I think the best hub is definitely ATL with its efficient transportation system. The worst might have to be MSP. I typically use Flightradar24. I much prefer ice to storms since storms can be so unpredictable.
@@harisonvansiclen858 Delta provides great hubs and MSP is one of them, however, I feel that others are superior like ATL, DTW, SLC (with its new terminal), and JFK.
Not five MILLION🥺💕I wish you pass the million soon I love all your videos , quality couple not to mention adorable humans. The pictures or the shots or the scenes, I really don't know what to call them, you take are beyond professional beautiful and deserve the reward of the year the OSCAR of UA-cam should be given to those magnificent shoots and shots you take. I love you both and I'll pray it exceeds millions... You always deserve better than the best Keep up the amazing work you are doing💕👍💕👍
If you wanted to hit ALL the legacy hubs, you'd have to add CVG to your list, although I don't know if they even have enough flights left to make a connection through there! Seriously, this looked like a lot of fun.
This is a great video and the series idea is brilliant! As a former flight attendant I definitely know what that exhaustion feels like, being on a plane for so many hours 😵💫 Congrats on making it to every hub! Looking forward to the next challenge!! ✈️
Did this a few years back but as non revenue stand by.. and was DFW to ATL to DTW to JFK to MSP to SEA to LAX to SLC then back to DFW. Was a long day and fun time to achieve this trip. Was going to plan another trip to non rev as far as I could and as far around the world but wife retired and we are lower down the stand by now..lol great job!
I think you guys should do an All Time Favorite travel products list. I've been following your channel for about a year and we know you like your Bose products (my husband got a pair of the QC buds for our anniversary thanks to you!), but what else do you guys have on your 'can't travel without' list. Your recommended products list, or if you can't say the names of brands. What to look for perhaps? It would be cool to know Suzanne's list too. I know everyone has a list, but I think that'd be a cool video. Anyways, appreciate your video's, Happy New Year!
This sounds like an interesting adventure to embark on! Delta Airlines is my favorite airline and ATL is my alltime favorite Delta HUB! I hope you were able to accomplish your entire agenda! Totally awesome! Well, I think I would have attempted this project during the summer months in order to avoid the de-icing delays. I am a huge summer traveler to begin with being I take two summer vacations every year. I always use Delta because, as I said, it's my favorite airline and I will always land at ATL before going on to my final destination, Melbourne,Florida. ATL has a lot of aviation action there that you can witness before boarding your own flight being it's the busiest airport in the country! I also like using Delta because many of their aircraft are equipped with flight tracker monitors on the back of the seat in front of you. You can track the progress of your own flight while in midair and a lot of other flight data which is available. Until I flew Delta, I had never seen such a feature aboard aircraft. Anyway, this is an awesome project you are undertaking!
Congratulations on 500K subs Jeb!! 👏 🎉 I am a big fan of your channel and I love following all your travels. I live in a small town in Northern Minnesota so all of my travel is either out of MSP in the cities or Sioux Falls, SD. Therefore I know MSP pretty well. Can't wait to see where the adventures take us next
I have been in a few of the Delta hubs before. I recently got back from the trip from Tucson back to Portland and used SEA on the way there and SLC on the way back. SEA is probably my favorite Delta hub because I used there the most when I used to go to university in Seattle. Strangely enough, I used the Delta Sky Club longer than on a flight between SEA and PDX. By the way, I am pretty sure you skipped two Delta hubs BOS and LGA.
Hi! Loved this video and all the different challenges you come up with! Please add official closed captioning rather than the auto-generated. Makes a heck of a difference! Thank you!
Yes, I think you'll make it, Since you did nine cities on American in 22 hours in your last video. Keep up the good work! These videos are so much fun to watch!
@Jeb Brooks Jeb I highly suggest doing every American Airlines hub DFW, LAX, ORD, JFK, CLT, MIA, and PHL and/or PHX. Or every JetBlue hub JFK, BOS, FLL, MCO and SJU
Beautiful footage of the national parks! Blows my mind when I see the closed window shades over those places. Also, love the command center! Such a fun idea :)
Congratulations! 🎉🎉 First for you to reach 500,000 subscribers. Second for you to make it within 24 hrs. Your videos always fun to watch and good entertainment with all those big birds and trains ...🥰🥰🥰 Hello from your subscriber in Hong kong. Hope to meet you one day in the sky! 😊😊 Keep it up and look forward to more of your videos!
Amazing video as always! Strange to think it's been so long since your last domestic red-eye flight. Living in Utah and having my family live in NYC means I take this red-eye flight very frequently! (or the red-eye on Jetblue, whichever is cheaper at the time).
Happy New Year Jeb! I don't know how you do it! I did BOS->ORD->SLC->DEN->BOS all in one day to pick up my new puppy, and it was crazy! As always, your watch game is on point! Perfect one to wear for a crazy day of time zone changes
Don't have anything bad to say about delta but im sorry but alaska air hands down has the best service and seats regardless of what class you're seated. Granted I have only flown united, delta, AA, Alaska air, spirit and air trans. Great video by the way, I think I'm going to subscribe. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude even during the negative situations were fantastic.
I love this video! It is great to see you hop all of Delta’s hub in 24 hours. If you ever want to do hub hopping though all of United’s hub I can help out as I work as an Aircraft Dispatcher. I should totally try this non-rev on United and see how it is. As I just realized you already did one on United. I’ll have to watch that one too. I also agree that Gate Agents have the hardest job in Aviation.
4:51 I saw Northwest's first B747-451 in DTW back in 2007. DTW is a nice airport. This is a typical greener grassian adventure. I think I need to relove DL again.
Jeb, at 16:53 you discuss not going to Boston because it is not a "legacy hub". But in fact it is having entered Delta's history in August of 1972 with the merger between DL and Northeast. Trivia, it was Northeast who had a sizable fleet of 727s which came to be a Delta favorite, and Delta did not have any of them until the merger. Also Boston was once a European hub for Northwest, and even during the waning days of the Red Tail there was still NW-operated service (not KLM) to Amsterdam daily.
My first international flight was out of MSP to PUJ for family vacation in the Dominican Republic. It was also my wife and daughters' first ever time flying. Such beautiful memories made in that airport
I just stumbled on your videos and am sold. I've been going through all of your reviews over the last week when I have free time from my studies. I'm a new 737 Max Pilot in Canada and would love to see a review of Caribbean Airlines and Flair. Keep up the great work. 🔥
Awesome video. But why didn’t you put retrieve your boarding passes on the delta app lol ? And what about Boston for a delta hub ? Keep the vids coming. Waiting for the AA hub hopping next!
Missed 2 hubs Boston and New York-LaGuardia! and if you wanted to include the focus cities Raleigh, Austin, and Cincinnati. Plus international hubs: Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, Mexico City, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Seoul-Incheon and Tokyo.
Wow, you're a man of steal and strength, unbelievable how you were able to fly from sea to shining sea across this great land of ours in 24 hours. You go!!!
I was anxious for you! Since you asked our favorite hub is DTW; least favorite is LAX with JFK close behind. We are fine with MSP and SLC and ATL is OK. We have never flown through or to SEA yet, but it is in the plans. On longer flights we like Delta and United the best of the domestic airlines so these hub hopping videos are cool. Don't worry I will watch the American one when we get to it since we also consider them when flying. Thanks for sharing these. As I watch them I am getting excited for our June CVG to CDG Delta flight and the return from MUC to CVG via DTW!
You should try hub hopping for Southwest Airlines. I was looking and it looks like they have way more hubs possible than a 1 day trip maybe do it over 48 hours. The hubs that I found were: Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago Midway, Dallas Love, Denver, Houston Hobby, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Orlando and Phoenix Sky Harbor.
I live in Anchorage, AK. When I went to college in RI, this would be my route to the East Coast: ANC-HNL, HNL-PDX, PDX-BOS (same for return). HNL was a nice pit-stop, I'd be able to rent a car for a few hours and dip my feet in the ocean before my flight. Ok, here is your next flight challenge: BOS-MIA, MIA-LAX, LAX-HNL, HNL-ANC, ANC-ORD, ORD-BOS (using One World Partners).
At the very beginning of the video, when you were at Atlanta (ATL), you couldn’t get into the lounge, so you got coffee at Goldberg’s Bagel Company & Deli. I was passing through Atlanta in late 2023 on my way to Tampa FL, and I got food from that shop😮. I just found that cool.
Love your videos and have discovered them recently! Please do some more Canadian content on Air Canada and Westjet love to see your prespective on them especially out of YVR!
These are fun but hope you can one day do longer hub visits and reviews. Do you think you could do a similar itinerary for Europe? Maybe not for a single airline but the top airports in the Shengen area!

I had a 4-hour delay on an ATL to JFK flight that caused me to miss my connection around 7 or 8 years ago, but that was due to thunderstorms, and nobody can really be blamed for that.

Flight radar 24 is my go to in tracking flights 😊. Loving this video 😊
Dude! This was nuts! Honestly don't know how you did it but kudos for reaching your goal. And, amazingly, you remained pleasant throughout. For context, I'm 71 years old & started flying @ the age of seven because my dad worked for Eastern Airlines as a Station Agent in Pensacola, FL. My last flight was.on Southwest from P'cola to Austin, TX back in 2016. Every aspect of air travel is almost unrecognizable to me at this point in my life. Still, I have many fond memories. I feel I'm living vicariously through your channel. Well done!
Gate Agents truly deserve the world, they are the backbone of the customer experience and have the hardest job of all. Telling passengers bad news is never easy, especially this time of year. Cheers to them!
I can’t wait to see the southwest “focus city” hopping , also my favorite chapter in the video was departing Atlanta really felt like a lot more was packed into that chapter by far my favorite
Jeb, please make sure you keep two announcements per flight on swa. I'm hoping you have FlyingWithBigErn as the captain on one of them.
What would a list be?
Denver Houston Dallas Chicago Atlanta Nashville Baltimore
@@Speedster___ Phoenix as well!
@@JoshGColorado and Orlando
MDW BWI ATL MCO DAL HOU PHX LAX DEN
My Wife, Mother and I recently flew round trip to Phoenix from Seattle on Delta taking 5 different flights between us. It may be a winter operations thing to account for possible de-icing and storm diversions, but every flight we took, including those that left 15-25 mins late were early on arrival. They seem to pad their schedules rather well.
Delta is a very well oiled machine! Years ago I toured Tech Ops in ATL! As part of the 1994 Airliners International show! Being from the 🌃 Southeast,Delta was our Family's Airline! We were only 29 minutes by air to the Atlanta hub!
I loved this video! It was so interesting to watch you try to fly to every Delta hub in 24 hours. I can't believe you actually did it! You're a true aviation enthusiast.
I hope you'll do another Hub Hopping video in the future. I would love to see you try to visit all of the hubs of another airline.
Keep up the great work!
Merry Christmas Jeb and Suzanne. I absolutely love your channel and this video was a lot of fun. Congrats on making it to all of the hubs in your 24 hour time window. Suzanne asked which flight tracker app we use…I personally use FlightRadar 24 at the moment. It was especially helpful this past week as I was in Chicago on a business trip when the weather issues started happening.
I hope someday to cross paths with the two of you at some airport somewhere. I love your photos from the plane and especially the sunrise/sunset shots. Happy New Year. I’m excited to see where you take us in 2023.
Amazing vid, as always, Jeb! I'm a DL FA based in BOS and I'd love to have you on one of my flights. Keep up the great work! You always have the most fun, energetic vlogs.
MSP is pretty cool! You should visit the twin cities sometime! Awesome place!
Wow! I was hoping for more hub hopping and here it is! Thank you for consistently delivering such high-quality videos
My one dawn flight was from DFW to ORD. Even though the flight was decently full, there was something still so hushed about watching the sun rise from the air.
Excellent video! Your wife is such a sweetheart in supporting your channel!!
I'm not sure how it's possible with such a great channel, but Suzanne's appearances make it even better! Merry Christmas!!
DTW is by far my favorite airport... I like ATL as well but there's a higher risk of delays and cancellations there due to the high volume they handle (very well designed airport tho!... it has to be when you're handling 100+ million a year).
Love Minneapolis, remember flying out on northwest as well for Gatwick London on a dc-10. Their updates have been welcomed as well for sure.
Paused. I think this looks like a 24 hour dream come true and would DEFINITELY be the experience of a lifetime for me !!! Its unknown now how much time I have left but this sure does give me a goal to aspire toward. I have always LOVED everything about airports ( some more than others ) and every flight I've ever been on !! I'm excited just to see how this turns out !
MSP DL gates was where I got my start in the airlines! It's so nice to hear such kind words from you. GAs are definitely under appreciated. Thank you!
Great travel videos! I’m a aircraft mechanic in Atlanta for Delta, I enjoy your videos so much!
You on the line ? Or TOC?
Congratulations on making all 7 hubs AND 500K subscribers in that trip! I look forward to your weekly videos-you & Suzanne have expanded my bucket list exponentially. Wishing you a joyful HollyDay season!
Jeb, DTW is my home airport, every flight I've taken, with exception to one out of ORD has been from there. Thanks for visiting DTW, I hope you enjoyed it, even for the short time you were transiting through there
You have an awesome airport! DTW was the best airport I layed over in! Would fly out again!
@@emreyurttas5051
DTW is the best in the USA.
Mine too
I work in DTW! Luckily for you! I’m also part of the deice team. And I can tell you that you more than likely won’t be sitting on our deice pad for more than around 5 min if we’re just spraying off frost. The cockpit crew takes about 30 seconds to prepare the aircraft, 2 min fo runs to deice, and another min or 2 for the cockpit crew to reconfigure the aircraft and start rolling again. Hope to see you back in DTW soon!
I grew up and live near SLC, so my family has always flown Delta. Super stoked about the brand-new airport and how much Delta is investing in it!!
Great video!!! Congrats 😃on the 500K!! Thanks for all you do to keep us Aviationists amazed!!✈
Congratulations on succeeding with this challenge. You and your wife are a great team! I'm sure you were so glad to walk into your own home and give her a hug after all that craziness (and lack of sleep) Wishing you every happiness and a very Merry Christmas!
I think you make it. It’ll be crazy but you make it.
Also nice to see the eventual MSP love; it truly is such a great airport.
i'm originally from minneapolis but my family moved to los angeles. MSP-LAX has arguably one of the most beautiful flight paths in the country! i fly delta between the two cities often.
Good attempt'Jeb; well done !! DL is the champion !!
Winter storms can be really bad !!
I don't know if you explained why you took those flights in that order but that would be interesting to learn.
Congrats on hitting the half-million subscriber mark!!
I dont care how you BOOKED these.. I care how you AFFORDED it all.. What career didn't my HS guidance counselor tell me about?!
LMAO!
Think his website and UA-cam channel is his only income
@@t.g.2777 he has a main job aside from youtube and such
What is his other job?
@@t.g.2777 he's an author! Google it
Even though Southwest Airlines doesn’t call their airline hubs “hubs” you should try to go through the main southwest airports. ATL, BWI, MDW, DEN, BNA, OAK, PHX, and STL. Congrats on 500k! Road to 1milly
That sounds miserable
MDW is what?
Oakland isn’t a focus city afaik. It’s a crew base but not a focus city I believe
@@Speedster___ Chicago has 2 airports. MDW is on the Southside of the city.
@@LadyFibonacci3 I know?
@@LadyFibonacci3 I know. Why are you telling me Chocago has 2?
Ever since I saw the United hub hopping, I thought of doing Delta. You beat me to it and did a great job/video.
You United hub hopping video is what made me find your channel. Thanks for all of the great vids, congrats on 500k
Delta recognizes Boston as a hub now though. Same for LGA
I can kind of forgive not doing two hubs in the same city, but there are folks who fly into one of them and out of the other, as part of the same travel direction.
Delta also has a focus city in raleigh, so Jeb technically missed 3 hubs.
Bro
@@chicagolandrailfan143 focus citys aren't hubs this isn't JetBlue
Have been waiting for this!! Can't wait to see American Airlines! I think the best hub is definitely ATL with its efficient transportation system. The worst might have to be MSP. I typically use Flightradar24. I much prefer ice to storms since storms can be so unpredictable.
L, MSP is the best
@@harisonvansiclen858 Delta provides great hubs and MSP is one of them, however, I feel that others are superior like ATL, DTW, SLC (with its new terminal), and JFK.
@@jetsetter8004 bro said atlanta LOL
be serious lil bro
Can’t wait to see you do an Allegiant hub hopping journey. I think they are up to 15 hubs now.
lol..they really don't do hubs. Those are just bases.
Not five MILLION🥺💕I wish you pass the million soon
I love all your videos , quality couple not to mention adorable humans.
The pictures or the shots or the scenes, I really don't know what to call them, you take are beyond professional beautiful and deserve the reward of the year the OSCAR of UA-cam should be given to those magnificent shoots and shots you take.
I love you both and I'll pray it exceeds millions...
You always deserve better than the best
Keep up the amazing work you are doing💕👍💕👍
If you wanted to hit ALL the legacy hubs, you'd have to add CVG to your list, although I don't know if they even have enough flights left to make a connection through there! Seriously, this looked like a lot of fun.
Memphis, too, though that didn't last that long post NWA merger.
Cvg actually is a focus city as is Rdu, but bos and lga are both hubs he missed
@@LeviRamsey I was about to say Memphis too!
How you found a line for coffee that you had time for at that hour in ATL is amazing
Was going to make the same comment 😆😆😆
This is a great video and the series idea is brilliant! As a former flight attendant I definitely know what that exhaustion feels like, being on a plane for so many hours 😵💫 Congrats on making it to every hub! Looking forward to the next challenge!! ✈️
Did this a few years back but as non revenue stand by.. and was DFW to ATL to DTW to JFK to MSP to SEA to LAX to SLC then back to DFW. Was a long day and fun time to achieve this trip. Was going to plan another trip to non rev as far as I could and as far around the world but wife retired and we are lower down the stand by now..lol great job!
I think you guys should do an All Time Favorite travel products list. I've been following your channel for about a year and we know you like your Bose products (my husband got a pair of the QC buds for our anniversary thanks to you!), but what else do you guys have on your 'can't travel without' list. Your recommended products list, or if you can't say the names of brands. What to look for perhaps? It would be cool to know Suzanne's list too. I know everyone has a list, but I think that'd be a cool video. Anyways, appreciate your video's, Happy New Year!
This sounds like an interesting adventure to embark on! Delta Airlines is my favorite airline and ATL is my alltime favorite Delta HUB! I hope you were able to accomplish your entire agenda! Totally awesome! Well, I think I would have attempted this project during the summer months in order to avoid the de-icing delays. I am a huge summer traveler to begin with being I take two summer vacations every year. I always use Delta because, as I said, it's my favorite airline and I will always land at ATL before going on to my final destination, Melbourne,Florida. ATL has a lot of aviation action there that you can witness before boarding your own flight being it's the busiest airport in the country! I also like using Delta because many of their aircraft are equipped with flight tracker monitors on the back of the seat in front of you. You can track the progress of your own flight while in midair and a lot of other flight data which is available. Until I flew Delta, I had never seen such a feature aboard aircraft. Anyway, this is an awesome project you are undertaking!
“Lets hope for no more ice” as he heads to Detroit and Minneapolis 😂
Congratulations on 500K subs Jeb!! 👏 🎉 I am a big fan of your channel and I love following all your travels. I live in a small town in Northern Minnesota so all of my travel is either out of MSP in the cities or Sioux Falls, SD. Therefore I know MSP pretty well. Can't wait to see where the adventures take us next
I have been in a few of the Delta hubs before. I recently got back from the trip from Tucson back to Portland and used SEA on the way there and SLC on the way back. SEA is probably my favorite Delta hub because I used there the most when I used to go to university in Seattle. Strangely enough, I used the Delta Sky Club longer than on a flight between SEA and PDX. By the way, I am pretty sure you skipped two Delta hubs BOS and LGA.
Hi! Loved this video and all the different challenges you come up with! Please add official closed captioning rather than the auto-generated. Makes a heck of a difference! Thank you!
Yes, I think you'll make it, Since you did nine cities on American in 22 hours in your last video. Keep up the good work! These videos are so much fun to watch!
@Jeb Brooks Jeb I highly suggest doing every American Airlines hub DFW, LAX, ORD, JFK, CLT, MIA, and PHL and/or PHX. Or every JetBlue hub JFK, BOS, FLL, MCO and SJU
Beautiful footage of the national parks! Blows my mind when I see the closed window shades over those places. Also, love the command center! Such a fun idea :)
Congratulations! 🎉🎉 First for you to reach 500,000 subscribers. Second for you to make it within 24 hrs. Your videos always fun to watch and good entertainment with all those big birds and trains ...🥰🥰🥰
Hello from your subscriber in Hong kong. Hope to meet you one day in the sky! 😊😊
Keep it up and look forward to more of your videos!
Amazing video as always! Strange to think it's been so long since your last domestic red-eye flight. Living in Utah and having my family live in NYC means I take this red-eye flight very frequently! (or the red-eye on Jetblue, whichever is cheaper at the time).
Happy New Year Jeb! I don't know how you do it! I did BOS->ORD->SLC->DEN->BOS all in one day to pick up my new puppy, and it was crazy! As always, your watch game is on point! Perfect one to wear for a crazy day of time zone changes
Don't have anything bad to say about delta but im sorry but alaska air hands down has the best service and seats regardless of what class you're seated. Granted I have only flown united, delta, AA, Alaska air, spirit and air trans. Great video by the way, I think I'm going to subscribe. Your enthusiasm and positive attitude even during the negative situations were fantastic.
These are always so cool to watch! I've done ATL, SLC, and SEA in one day; IDK how you guys do this, I was exhausted!
I love this video! It is great to see you hop all of Delta’s hub in 24 hours. If you ever want to do hub hopping though all of United’s hub I can help out as I work as an Aircraft Dispatcher. I should totally try this non-rev on United and see how it is. As I just realized you already did one on United. I’ll have to watch that one too. I also agree that Gate Agents have the hardest job in Aviation.
4:51 I saw Northwest's first B747-451 in DTW back in 2007. DTW is a nice airport. This is a typical greener grassian adventure. I think I need to relove DL again.
Jeb, at 16:53 you discuss not going to Boston because it is not a "legacy hub". But in fact it is having entered Delta's history in August of 1972 with the merger between DL and Northeast. Trivia, it was Northeast who had a sizable fleet of 727s which came to be a Delta favorite, and Delta did not have any of them until the merger. Also Boston was once a European hub for Northwest, and even during the waning days of the Red Tail there was still NW-operated service (not KLM) to Amsterdam daily.
I have faith you'll make it Jeb. I know it. You always find a way!
I really enjoyed this one Jeb. Glad you made it back in the 24 hour limit. 🎉
My first international flight was out of MSP to PUJ for family vacation in the Dominican Republic. It was also my wife and daughters' first ever time flying. Such beautiful memories made in that airport
Congratulations! It was great meeting you at the Hops in the Hangar few years back! You are a true avgeek that I get my inspiration from. Cheers 🍻
I just stumbled on your videos and am sold. I've been going through all of your reviews over the last week when I have free time from my studies. I'm a new 737 Max Pilot in Canada and would love to see a review of Caribbean Airlines and Flair. Keep up the great work. 🔥
Awesome video. But why didn’t you put retrieve your boarding passes on the delta app lol ? And what about Boston for a delta hub ?
Keep the vids coming. Waiting for the AA hub hopping next!
Missed 2 hubs Boston and New York-LaGuardia! and if you wanted to include the focus cities Raleigh, Austin, and Cincinnati. Plus international hubs: Amsterdam, London-Heathrow, Mexico City, Paris-Charles de Gaulle, Seoul-Incheon and Tokyo.
Wow, you're a man of steal and strength, unbelievable how you were able to fly from sea to shining sea across this great land of ours in 24 hours. You go!!!
Couldn't physically do it in 24 hours but even if it took days or weeks, dreams come true ! Thanks for what you do !!
I was anxious for you! Since you asked our favorite hub is DTW; least favorite is LAX with JFK close behind. We are fine with MSP and SLC and ATL is OK. We have never flown through or to SEA yet, but it is in the plans. On longer flights we like Delta and United the best of the domestic airlines so these hub hopping videos are cool. Don't worry I will watch the American one when we get to it since we also consider them when flying. Thanks for sharing these. As I watch them I am getting excited for our June CVG to CDG Delta flight and the return from MUC to CVG via DTW!
I've only flown through DTW and MSP on Delta, and I've been thru SEA on Southwest and Alaska. Great video so far, no idea if you've made it yet!
You should try hub hopping for Southwest Airlines. I was looking and it looks like they have way more hubs possible than a 1 day trip maybe do it over 48 hours. The hubs that I found were: Atlanta, Baltimore, Chicago Midway, Dallas Love, Denver, Houston Hobby, Las Vegas, Los Angeles, Oakland, Orlando and Phoenix Sky Harbor.
Congrats, Jeb! Love your videos. Much deserved!
My daughter wants to try a Delta Hub Hop in the future. Thanks for the info + video!
I enjoyed your video of hopping delta hubs a lot. You should do American airline hubs next! 😀
I live in Anchorage, AK. When I went to college in RI, this would be my route to the East Coast: ANC-HNL, HNL-PDX, PDX-BOS (same for return). HNL was a nice pit-stop, I'd be able to rent a car for a few hours and dip my feet in the ocean before my flight. Ok, here is your next flight challenge: BOS-MIA, MIA-LAX, LAX-HNL, HNL-ANC, ANC-ORD, ORD-BOS (using One World Partners).
At the very beginning of the video, when you were at Atlanta (ATL), you couldn’t get into the lounge, so you got coffee at Goldberg’s Bagel Company & Deli. I was passing through Atlanta in late 2023 on my way to Tampa FL, and I got food from that shop😮. I just found that cool.
Love your videos and have discovered them recently! Please do some more Canadian content on Air Canada and Westjet love to see your prespective on them especially out of YVR!
These hub hopping videos are so good! You gotta do American next!
These are fun but hope you can one day do longer hub visits and reviews. Do you think you could do a similar itinerary for Europe? Maybe not for a single airline but the top airports in the Shengen area!
