Can I fly to EVERY United Airlines Hub in ONE day?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 вер 2021
- United Airlines operates seven hub airports: Newark, Dulles, O’Hare, Houston, Denver, LAX, and SFO. In this video, I attempt to visit them all…in ONE day!
We’re calling this Aviation Marathon, “Hub Hopping!” and it was one of the most epic and challenging travel days!
With six connections, six airplanes and six crews, not to mention seven airports, plus who knows how many weather systems. A LOT could go wrong.
But, did I make it? Keep watching to find out!

Jeb, probably: What, like it’s hard?
Great job flying through all of our hubs, Jeb!
PS: We’re adding seatback screens to all our narrowbody planes so next time you make this run, you won’t even need to bring your iPad.
Thanks! Can’t wait to try it again!
Well done united
Isn’t Guam technically a United hub?
Hey united what are your thoughts on SKG Airport? Possible destination?
Delta's better.
“Boarding out of Newark was on time.”
Those are 7 words I’d never thought I’d ever hear in the same sentence.
many flights acc leave Newark on time i used to fly out of there many times but it also has a ton of delays
There is also “United … providing top notch levels of service”
Right up there with ".....Dulles, I have so many great memories!"
Rule of thumb... Always take the earliest flight out of EWR ...OR any MYC airport.
GDP & Ground delays start in the afternoon.
As New Jersey resident I am shocked that his flight was on time my father always says to me if leaves late outta Newark it’s gonna be on time for Newark standards
As you took off from Newark, I can't help but think Tony Soprano is down there driving on the New Jersey Turnpike listening to Woke Up This Morning by Alabama 3 while seeing your plane.
What I like most about Dulles is the Udvar-Hazy Center/National Air and Space Museum annex. A hidden gem of a museum with Space Shuttle Discovery, an Air France Concorde, plus it has a neat observation tower to watch planes take-off and land
I can't think of a time involving layovers in Denver that didn't require running through the terminal to catch a connecting flight. Nice airport, but massive.
I agree, it's huge. I was in a layover there, 7 minutes until I had to board to Nash TN, and had no idea they swapped my gates. First time flying alone, I was quite scared.
Sameee
My late friend Stewart worked private security at Denver.
One day he got off work and decided to go to the lower levels of the airport.
He kept descending further and further down and found himself at a level with machine gun carrying guards.
They stopped him and told him if he did not leave immediately they would shoot him and he was not to talk about what he saw.
He told me the story shortly before he died of pancreatic cancer.
He waited too long for treatment.
We were dear friends and I miss him a lot.
At least it's extremely easy to navigate, despite the long distances.
@@georgesenda1952 They were probably guarding the entrance to the backrooms, which we all know is under Denver Int'l.
This man just made the most impressive achievement known to man: Boarding in newark on time
Lately they have been really padding times at EWR. So you are more likely to be early than late. But that is just because they just add so much extra time to compensate
ive always flown out of Newark no delays 9 months went to cali no delay 3 weeks going to cali early hopefully no delays
And now I'm scared.
Wait? thats possible?!?!?!?!?
It’s funny I’ve flown out of Newark my whole life and only been delayed maybe 3 times. And only one of those was severe, like 5+ hours. The others were like 20-40.
"She thought it was a great idea, especially when she found out she didn't have to come"
That was almost as amusing as the comment about getting engaged at baggage retrieval .... :)
Funny!! Love it
Not having to fly on United sounds good to me as well.
The terminal at Dulles is famous because it was designed by Eero Saarinen (the same guy who designed the gateway arch and the TWA terminal at JFK that is now a hotel), and looks very modern for something built in the 1960s.
Except if you're flying on United, you'll be boarding from a "temporary" facility built in the 1980s.
@@TheLewistownTrainspotter8102 They're talking about the terminal (where check in, security, and baggage claim are), not the concourses. And if you think a 40 year old "temporary" building is bad, my high school was a 60 year old "temporary" building.
Average passenger: goes shopping for last-minute goodies
Jeb: *goes shopping for hubs*
I mean the best thing to do in New Jersey is leave so you definitely understood the assignment with this one. Once Americans are allowed into our country again, we'd love to see you fly to all the glorious Air Koryo hubs in one day...should be really easy since there's only one
I'm surprised you know about this Supreme Leader
but air koryo has 1 hub witch is pyongyang
@@sjdavyd yes, that's the joke
@@SupremeLeaderKimJong-un ik ik
Probably the coolest video you have ever done. Now Delta’s turn 😂
LGA-BOS-JFK-ATL-DTW-MSP-SLC-SEA-LAX
@@LeviRamsey That would be an insane video 😦
yeah we need that
@@LeviRamsey That would be a relay, not sure if it could be done!
Few years ago NRT too
Hub hoping in Germany:
Biggest airline: Lufthansa
Number of hubs: 2
Flights needed: 1
Flight time: 45 minutes
Done easy.
i tought of LH Group Hub hopping. Geneva, Zurich, Vienna, Munich, Frankfurt, Brussel. Should be possible i one day
@UCQB3j2YFZJr7EhEx5c8tSFw lol
Flight hopping in U.K., board skytrain from Heathrow T2 to T5...Done.✅
It’s more easy in France with Air France, 2 hubs Roissy Charles de Gaulle and Orly you just need of bus, car, train to go from one to the other
the train would be more fun
In Houston, sometimes its faster to walk between C and E. It depends on where the gates are at. Houston has an odd layout at the United gates. Terminal A (Delta, Spriit, AA, Frontier, JetBlue) is much more user friendly for figuring out where you are going. The gates are just grouped a lot better. Plus, TSA is usually shorter at Terminal A (at least when I fly)
I was anxiously anticipating for the sprint at mile high mile long airport... Traveling through Denver always keeps my blood pressure up....
true
"If I could just get to L.A., I stood a chance" - every wannabe movie star ever (and our favorite Jeb)
Now that was cool!
Yep
😂😂
I work for United as a baggage handler. I’m glad you had a good experience. It was a cool video.
I'm a baggage handler as well at KPHX!
I only found this channel recently. Good job on navigating the UA system. DEN is my home port so United is what I almost always fly. Since it's home, I've never had to do the full bore concourse dash at DIA, but far too many times I've run down the neon tunnel connection B and C concourses at ORD (the Rhapsody in Blue Sprint.) I've been out of hardcore flying for so long now, I didn't realize EWR was now the NY hub. When I was flying it was LGA, which I see from some of your other videos is now all new and nice and not all rundown and scruffy. Great job on this and your other adventures!
I've had to make the "Rhapsody in Blue Sprint" in Chicago a few times myself😅
Jeb I love your channel and watch most everything. I worked part time for United just so I and my family could fly free. My wife and I now serve in Kenya as volunteers at a rural hospital but my son also works for United so we still get those free flights. The added benefit is that in 6 years living in Africa, about 75% of our international legs have been in business and first class, esp during covid. So someday I'm going to try to beat your United Hub Hopping and book them from EWR to KOA. I've also done a lot of travel vlogs on my business class trips, inspired mostly by yours.
Gotta say United is incredible when it comes to delays. A couple months ago I was flying from EWR to DEN via BNA. I was scheduled to have a 1h45m connection in BNA, but the flight was delayed 1h 43m. Thanks to United, I was able to make the 2 minute connection and arrived in Denver perfectly on time. Absolutely amazing.
Honestly, I'm surprised to hear that United was connecting anyone at BNA, but glad to hear you made the connection! Southwest connects lots of people at BNA and AA and DL sometimes do, but that's kind of surprising for UA, given their relatively small presence here.
I think Delta is just as good. I do a lot of connecting flights with Delta, and they also do a pretty decent job and making the connections. American, on the other hand, is very bad at it.
They are more likely to wait a few minutes for you if they know you are very close because of a connection -- plus with everyone already onboard it's easy for you to walk on and find your seat. They can always make up the few minutes in the sky. If you never checked-in at EWR, of course they wouldn't of waited.
Yeah they don’t mind over speeding the plane
1 hour late departure 20 minutes early arrival
@@no951 That's because the schedules usually have a lot of padding built in, although SFO is pretty good at gobbling up all that extra padding whenever there's fog. Which is always.
You should do this with other airlines too, great vid 👍
Would love to see you do this with American Airlines on the way back!
@@goldenpacificmedia I would like to see that too. Southwest has so many hubs that that would be very interesting because some of them are short flights I would like to see that.
Edit: yeah that’s probably impossible
American and delta
@@hanj31 he could maybe them in 36-48 hours
@@momiami7974 delta maybe but AA has too many hubs. With both delta and AA they have hubs at JFK and LaGuardia so transiting between the two airports could make it harder to do the trip
Jeb, this is a crazy day, but I'll have to one up you on this one (granted these were not United flights). Due to my dad being a super cheapskate when it comes to airline travel, after a visit to see a family member in Spain this was our return flights... Madrid > Paris > Copenhagen > Toronto > Washington DC > Chicago. This was all in one day! Due to our flight into Toronto being slightly late, we missed our connection from Toronto to Chicago even though we were there well ahead of time. Just missed the one hour baggage re-check-in time for flights into the US. So we had to take a slightly later detour of a flight to DC and then back to Chicago. Let's just say, dad is no longer in charge of booking the flights! This was a miserable travel day!
We need American and Delta now. This video is one of my favourite videos you have, it's interesting, different, and keeps me excited for what's next. Keep this stunning content up Jeb!
Denver is my favorite hub. The airport is on such a massive scale!!
Currently at IAD and just took a transfer to DEN. These comment just got me excited!!!
Loved Denver as well, definitely one of the most beautiful hub I've been to!
I live in Denver and am an Aviation Geek. Definitely my favorite hub and he new UAL gates that were recently built are very nice.
I spent a good 10 hours on a layover in KDEN... needles to say I hit almost every bar in the airport and got a good buzz lol
Denver is the 2nd largest airport on earth and DFW being 3rd
This has got to be the coolest aviation video that is out there!!! Would like to see you do hub hopping for American and Delta as well!
Maybe I'll Alaska have the hub so it should be JFK to Los Angeles Los Angeles to Seattle to Portland and then Portland to Anchorage
For Delta start from Atlanta ➡️ New York JFK ➡️Detroit ➡️Salt Lake City ➡️ Seattle and last LAX
@@brianocean5756 JFK is not a hub I think SFO is one of the hubs
No SFO is not a Delta hub JFK is
Wow! Thanks!!
This is one of the most incredible, yet relatable, records broken dude. I’d trade places just to go on the adventure.
Cringe
Great video. I once flew coast to coast on USAirways in under 24 hours for a job interview with a USAirways Express carrier in BOS. Departed SAN on a redeye flight at 10:45pm PT to PIT on a 757, connected onto an A319, and arrived in BOS at 8:30am ET. After the interview at the airport, I flew to CLT on an A320 at 12:30pm ET; connected onto a brand new A321, and landed in SAN at about 8:15pm PT.
Sensational video mate - really enjoyed this one.
Thanks so much, Dennis!
Here’s a crazy challenge. Ride every Amtrak route from one end to the other.
@@GreenerGrass you should do this same challenge but with American or Delta
I think you are gonna make it to San Francisco
@@Aviation-ls3bq not possible
UAL employees seem so much happier than they have been in years past. I'm at 17 legs with them so far this year and they've all been great. My only complaint is I've eaten that chicken w/ orzo at least 6 times already.
I used to chat with a UAL pilot when he was off duty some 20 years ago via computer, he was the nicest person, and down to earth. He eventually left for other employment. But one day, I'm in Dallas at a bar, at the outdoor patio, I see his name, but he was having a nice conversation with someone, I didn't want to interfere, I later told him, he said I could have. About a month ago, I was online again, his name shows up, he's at a event about a hour from me, I couldn't get my roommate to go, my car needs work, so another missed opportunity.
But that Chicken and Orzo sure hit the spot in First Class. Right?
you are the best arline youtuber i have ever seen jeb brooks ❤
I love watching this. It's like "oh. I remember that airport"
Interesting video. I learned 2 things: 1) United's cabins are consistently inconsistent; 2) United's F meals are consistently consistent, in type and color.
Wow this HUB HOOPING was so much fun to watch! As a retired 40 year UA flight attendant, this really made me miss my job! IAH is my least favorite airport! Great job! Thanks, Tim
@tim b whats wrong with IAH?
whats wrong with george bush airport
It’s my fav united hub mate but hey I’m biased
Thank you for your service Tim!!!!
@@fromplacetoplace2008 the NAME. --BUSH-'
I'm glad I'm not the only one that does stuff like this! this was amazing!
Back in May 2021, I flew YVR-YUL-YEG-YYZ-YYC-YUL-YOW-YYZ-YVR as a bit of a travel challenge on Air Canada's A220, It was insane but sooooo much fun!
im feeling quite chuffed ..i have been to two of these hubs - Chicago and Houston - Houston is by far my favorite one out of those two staff and other passengers were absolutely lovely .
Such a cool video! Loved watching this, and agree you should do them for Delta and American too. I work for United and although I don’t love hearing that 6/6 flights were delayed, I loved seeing that the first three all still landed early and that you ended up making it to SFO practically on time! All of us employees really do try our best when the odds are against us!
Delta and American is impossible
@@justinfriedchicken agreed since they both use both NY airports as hubs it would be extremely difficult to complete in one day
we need a total cost breakdown of this trip, with 6 first class tickets
Sure Most were upgrades based on status.
Most likely upgrades although nevertheless would be interesting to calculate how much it is for us normal people.
Denver is a good hub, always consistent with its level of service. The construction gets annoying getting off the train but it’s not bad.
I LOVE flying but it is a rare treat. Whenever I do get to fly somewhere, I try to find the flights with layovers and try to find the layovers with several hours to give me time to check out the airport. I would absolutely LOVE to do this... and maybe try some of the other major airlines. I would probably try to do it in 2 days instead of 1 so that I can enjoy the airports a little more.
Special note for Dulles, At the south end of the airport the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, there is an area in a tower like structure where you can watch Aircraft taking off
You can just walk to terminal E from C in Houston rather than taking a train. It’s much faster and easier.
Exactly, in fact you can also walk from northside of Terminal C over to Terminal B (shorter walk and a bit faster) without making the long walk to the SkyWay overhead train, all within security.
Exceptional video, and your closing thoughts about the efficiency of commercial aviation are full reciprocated!
This was hard work for you! Nice video! Thanks for sharing!
You will make it, Jeb!! I'm a United retiree and am really going to enjoy this vid! Good luck! PS Congratulations!! Reminded me of the some of the stress of flying stand by!!
My dad is a United retiree and yes...totally having flashbacks of flying SA.
I'm sure you know that UA considers Guam a hub as well. Now that would be a really long day, but due to the international date line you should still be able to do GUM-SFO (via HNL) -EWR (redeye) and back to LAX through the other hubs all in one calendar day! I think you should go for it.
Don't need this kinda stress in my life! Kudos to you Jeb!
When were flying from Detriot to Aruba on United we connected through Newark. Keeping in mind this was spring break we had to run through Newark when we arrived in Detriot.
I hope this becomes a series of the three legacy carriers! This is freaking awesome, and probably one of my favorite videos to date Jeb!!! Great job!
Great video Jeb. This reminds me of the rail connection hunt which I made in 2014 in India between Chennai - Bangalore - Mumbai - Goa- Mangalore- chennai. All were pretty tight connections and was adventurous minute by minute. Lasted for 3 days and one connection involving hopping out of the moving train and catching the connecting train on the move in the adjacent platform .
I never knew a travel vlog would be so adrenaline filled. OMG! This was soooo good! I was cheering you on Jeb!!!! Let’s Go Jeb!!!!
Loved the video!!! Considering that my family flies to Denver all the time, it's really cool seeing you travel there as you haven't muched in the past.
Your experience was interesting and I’m glad you shared it with us. Our experience with United has been consistently good from arriving on time to no lost luggage. I’d love to see you do this with American Airlines and others. Thank you
Congrats on making it through all the hubs in a day, this was one if the most engaging videos by aviation enthusiasts I have watched recently!
The Chicago airport is so memorable. My favorite part when I was little were the flags
This is the first video of yours I watched and I've been watching so much of your content ever since! I would love to see more hub hopping (even if you can't hit every hub for airlines with more hubs like Delta)
You're right, airline operations are extremely complex. I live in DEN and been through all hubs numerous times just never in the same day. My preferred airline is United. I've been in some serious jams and United took care of me 99.9% of the time. For that I'm willing to forgive a lot and stay loyal! Thanks Jeb and United!
Would love to see you do this for Delta. I'm thinking BOS-JFK-ATL-DTW-MSP-SLC-LAX-SEA.
@@SKS8080 What force gave you the pathetic stupid idea to type such a rude and condescending comment
@@SKS8080 What

@@SKS8080 Buzz off
@@SKS8080 No it’s not. My god, what’s the problem of people who have the time and money to do this? I’d love to see one for delta and American
AMAZING VIDEO! ⭐ Worst hub probably Dulles or Newark I’m sorry we had so many problems that I will make a video about but the best one is San Francisco! It’s nice and clean and organized. We just get stuck in Newark and Dulles and there is no air train so we had to run to the gate and almost missed our flight! Anyway amazing video and I love your channel that inspired me thank you! 🙏
I've been to Newark and Denver, both on United, Newark is a mess even at 10 PM, I had to stayover, Denver was very lovely, very clean and nice area. Amazing video!
I love Houston.... They've got the best BBQ I've ever had. I had a 9 hour delay in Houston. Spent alot of those hours on the terminal train
Oh yeah, I’m not afraid to say I did the same thing at DFW on the skylink😁
A lot
@@aviationandotherstuff6571 The DFW Sky Link is much more preferable since it’s outside as opposed to IAH which is underground.
@@MichaelJW72 there is one at IAH that goes underground, but that is out of security and goes between hotels and parking lots. There is a skylink like train that goes east and west along the north side of Terminal’s A,B,C,D and is only accessible to those that are through security.
IAH is my home airport, so being an Avgeek, I am extra nerdy about it. 🤣
@@aviationandotherstuff6571 that must have been built since the last time I was there. Which was about 15 years ago.
This was such a great video, Jeb. I’ve been hooked on your channel since the California Zephr video. I’m glad your travel channel isn’t just run of the mill flight reviews. All the best from Ireland - hope you get to visit here & make some travel videos of Ireland.
Great! Can't wait for you to do the vid where you go thorough all the spoke airports.
Work at EWR everyday, nice seeing their aircraft go through each day, very busy hub.
You're insane Jeb and I love it! This is totally a challenge I'd take on, but I don't think I want the pressure anytime soon, haha! I think other commenters said at IAH, you can cross to C to E quickly on foot, versus taking the skytrain. Enjoyed this video, look forward to the next one!
It’s a pretty quick walk it doesn’t take long
Umm...you forgot Guam! 😁
Wooo! 🎉 you did it! Glad the great panda riding a lama came through for you! And in my home town of Denver!
I’ve flown between IAH-ORD for a birthday trip to Chicago in late 2019, the seat in First Class on the way to Chicago had the new seat plus the DirecTV of the old Continental seat. The way back it was a pre-merger UA first class seat without IFE
Congratulations, Jeb! That's a hell of an accomplishment! I've been through 4 of the 6 hubs you did (EWR, DIA, LAX & SFO) with SWA over the course of 38 years' worth of flight travel time!
I’ve flown out of EWR and connected through ORD once
The IATA Code of Dulles Int'l Airport is IAD, not DIA. Between 1962 and 1968, the airport code used to be called DIA, but was confused with DCA. In 1968, it was decided to change the airport code into IAD to avoid confusion with DCA.
Yes you will make it to SFO.
Edit: I’d love to see a Hub Hopping video for Delta and American!
My friend who works in airline scheduling just told me AA and delta pretty impossible as they both have 8 hubs.
I do love that set of United terminals at O'Hare, maybe because of their constant commercials about it in the early 1990's when it was new. And I've been through there more than a few times and at least you know you're in that particular place! However I think the glass is severely deteriorated. Maybe they are replacing it.
Great Video. Glad you made all your connections.
I expect to see this for every airline now. Great series idea!
Hub hopping in Switzerland :
Biggest airline : SWISS
number of hubs : 2 (GVA, ZRH)
Flight time between these hubs : 30 to 40 minutes
Can't wait for your Delta and American hub hopping video
Busy day flying, great review
Jeb! For the Next time you're at IAH! C and E actually connect to each other! Its about a 4 minute walk!
United is my favorite... especially with the update that is coming to their cabins!
You sound way too enthusiastic for such a long day. I was exhausted just watching. Always entertaining and informative as always. Thanks for what you do...
I love the short flights because you don’t climb too high to the point where your ears pop😊
BRILLIANT!! What an awesome idea… set up beautifully by the choice of hubs - then visiting all of them! 😁
Yes, you'll make it.
I mean regardless of delays and bad weather partially impeding your plans. However, safety is always Number 1.
I'm very late, but I came across this video, and I loved it!
much support and love!
Awesome video!
Thanks so much! It was a fun one to make!
You forgot Guam, which is technically a United hub.
Technically NRT is also but…..
Lol a United monopoly
@@akeemlawrence9750 don't you mean Deltas Hub
Technically Tokyo, London, and Frankfurt are also hubs.
@@G-546 nope
What a great video! I really enjoyed this and I'm glad you documented this because that was one wild ride I mean during the video there were times I didn't think you'd make it (namely in Denver) but you did it! Good job! You should try this with other airline's hubs.
I really don't see the point lol.
I live in Houston and always go there it’s nice to see people go there
Probably your best video ever Jeb!! Hope to run into you at the YYZ sometime...
I absolutely love this video especially because you flew into a hub where I currently live; Denver Colorado. I think next video you should have a little bit of a layover so people can see more of the airports and their styles and plus you being able to get some rest LOL. Tell your Fiance and/or Wife that she dodge a whirl wind of travel. Lol. Nicely Done Sir! Love your videos!!
Such a cool, unique video Jeb! What an achievement 😊🛫🛬
I really enjoyed this video it was great. I also enjoyed the one you made about the train from New Jersey to California I really looking forward to seeing more of your videos. Thanks 👍
Pretty Cool!! Glad you made it
This is pretty cool! I would love to do this for Delta Airlines
YESS!!! Since I didn't cheat I fully enjoyed the excitement of your trip, cheering and keeping my fingers crossed. This was so much fun!!!
Agreed, great story line and suspense!
I've only ever flown through IAH once, but ironically enough it was the exact same gate as Jeb's arrival. One simply cannot forget the sight of that gaudy out of place BAM BAM tiki roof restaurant at 7:50.
That’s not ironic at all
"whether or not" you make this work. Well played sir....
I've been binge watching your videos Jeb, they are great and they give me hope from a locked down Australia, where we cannot even go to other states due to our governments restrictions. Keep up the great work, it's great to see flying back to somewhat normal in the USA/Europe at least.
Are things really as they seem in AUS? Here in the US, many media outlets make it seem absolutely awful over there but I'm not sure if that's just fear mongering or not.
@@SKS8080 It’s a waste of time that makes him enough to afford flying first class around the whole country and makes him more money then a lot of other jobs would
@@Ephigy1 I've seen a few videos from US networks perspective, which actually pointed out how ridiculous it's getting here. Unfortunately most Aussies are happy to put up with it and think things will get better if we keep locking down constantly. You can't travel to other states/territories (we only have 8) without an exemption, there are so many rules which at times make little to no sense, and even when things do get slightly better the state governments do snap lockdowns with no warning at the slightest of cases, which has resulted in 3 domestic trips of mine being cancelled in the past year.
For example where I live, barbers aren't open (even by appointment, with masks etc) because they aren't considered "essential" so I can't get a haircut, yet 5 people can gather outside for a picnic, and supermarkets are open as normal where there'd be more of a chance of spreading Covid than at a barber by appointment. 5 people can also gather outside for sport, however personal trainers still cannot have classes and make an income, even if it's max 5 people. If you are unlucky enough to be considered a "close contact" to someone who has tested positive (like I was, just by being unlucky enough to be in the same place at the same time) then you must stay home for a 14 day quarantine and get 3 Covid tests, and even if your second Covid test after 5-7 days is negative, you STILL need to stay at home for the full 14 days. Luckily my employee pays out Covid leave, but I feel for people who lose income due to being an unlucky close contact and not doing anything wrong. So yeah, that's life here down under in the "Lucky Country" at the moment :)
@@skyline3694 Sounds preferable to being in, say, Idaho, where hospitals and medics are so overwhelmed that they aren't performing CPR on adult patients anymore, because it takes too many nurses and doctors to run a code, and if they survive, they don't have ICU beds to transfer the patients to anyway.
@@Ephigy1 Things really are as bad as they seem. I'm in Melbourne, Australia. We have been in full lockdown 6 separate times for a grand total of 220+ days. Soon we'll break the world record currently held by Buenos Aires. Schools have been closed for all or part of every school term/semester since the start of 2020. We're not allowed to leave our homes except for the bare essentials. We can't go more than 5kms from home, which is about 3 miles. There was rioting in the street near my house over the weekend... and I live in one of the most affluent neighbourhoods. The most crazy thing is that hardly anyone is getting sick, let alone dying. We handed our freedoms too easily and it's proving difficult to get those freedoms back.
This was quite entertaining! I enjoyed this very much! Welcome to my hub, SFO!
This is a cool video. I can relate to your running through Denver story. I had to do the same thing in 2008. My plane arrived late and I only had 12 minutes before my next flight. I was one of the last few people to board that plane and I was on full sprint mode. Last year, I had two major delays in Denver. The plane had some type of back light issue and the flight out got delayed several hours. They never got it working, so we had to deplane and spend the night in a Denver hotel for about 3 hours. We flew out the next morning. During the return flight I had 3.5 hours of delays in Denver again and got back home at almost 1 AM. I been to all these airports but LAX. Newark was a weird airport and I didn't like it, but I had no delay issues surprisingly. I liked O'Hare and Houston. I had a 1 hour delay in Houston because the plane that I was supposed to fly on got struck by lightning and they had to change planes. Denver's airport was not bad and had decent food choices, but I had too many issues with delays or extremely late arrivals to rate them better. I would say O'Hare is my favorite and Newark is my least favorite in terms of airport design. Denver's airport caused me the most issues.
On Delta you have to hit JFK, LGA,BOS,CVG,ATL,DTW,MSP,SLC,LAX, and SEA. Possibly MCO, a mini hub!!
Sounds like a great adventure!
This is so cool! The closest thing I’ve done to this is DEN-EWR-LAX-DEN over 2 nights.
Jeb, I am from Houston. I live about 30 minutes from IAH. United Airlines is one of my favorite airlines to fly.
I’d like to see them restart the Winnipeg to O’Hare route. Sure it was always a tiny plane (likely a CRJ-200 or Embraer-145). However, it came in handy as we’d go through customs here, and then could fly freely across the US. It was actually more convenient than flying through Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, or Calgary.
