Beautiful cloud shots! How awesome to be back in the same place you were last time you were in Costa Rica. I remember the amazing sunsets there. Just think how far you've come since then :)
Ben, you'll be quite pleased to know that British Airways actually is working on replacing their old 747s. The London-Cape Town route will likely be flown by an A380 or a Dreamliner pretty soon. Planes just take a while to make. You made a good point about flying half price on an old plane, though, very well said.
Hi Ben, British Airways are upgrading their fleet, the jumbo jets, or 747s are being retired over the next few years, so they haven't upgraded to the new cabin. If you fly on a BA A380 or 777, 787 etc you'll be much more pleased.
Loved this vlog Ben ! Man, CPT-LHR-MIA-Costa Rica in one shot ! Ive been on long haul flights but never that many in one itinerary. Also you're right Ben about the 747s. BA has so many of the old girls that need refurbished or replaced. Guess you'll have to wait until they get their new 787s & A350s for cape town
Haha, this is great. I love that this quite accurately portrays the reality of long haul flights. Grumpiness in airports, complete excitement when you actually get there.
Those shots of the clouds were bloody jaw dropping! Even though you said this was one of your grumpy vlogs mate, it was actually hilarious at various points.
Oh my god, all the nostalgia happening right now. I lived in Costa Rica for a year and have returned once for holiday... I feel like now I'll be going back there every day through Ben's super awesome vlogs!
CR vlogs are the ones that brought me to your channel and made me stay, (seems like ages ago, oh the nostalgia) , full circle! I can't wait for the content you'll create here :) have a good stay man
Had to laugh really hard when in Miami you said 'luckily SP doesn't have a beard than he'd definitely be a terrorist' and the second shot was Santa with a big white beard😂😂😂
Cant wait to see tomorrows vlog hehe! You do such an amazing editing job Ben considering you just flew half way across the world and STILL manage to produce an awesome and professional video. I for one appreciate it. Fantastic vlogs!
Yeah!!! Finally you're back. Costa Rica vlogs were the videos that made me become a full on Ben Brown fan! Those video's also made me put Costa Rica on #3 on my countriesiwant2visit-list
Good memories from last time you were at Surf Inn. Didnt you arrive in the night then too? And woke to the epic view? Also got to think of a tattoo for this trip to match the turtle!
Oh my god I loved the Costa Rica vlogs so much I got so happy when I saw the Surf Inn sign again. Super exited to see what's coming in the next few weeks +benbrown
Ben, how do you guys coordinate your flights? When you book do you choose your seats, or does one person book the flights and they are put together by default?
Ben! I'm so excited for you guys to be in Costa Rica..but I hope that you don't stay in Hermosa you're whole trip, because there is soooooo much more that you guys can explore in CR! But either way, enjoy my beautiful country!! :) Pura Vida!
+natsmooreid I've explored all over CR last time I was here, but yes we're staying in this general area to film (this time!) I'll be back though, NEED to bring Nicole here!
+Mr Ben Brown +Mr Ben Brown OMG I can't believe it I was sitting in the same damn plane as you Ben I just fly here to Miami from London on AA on the same day in the morning :D what are the odds :)
That was some hardcore plane time! But so worth it. The last time I saw you at the surf inn you just said goodbye to all your contikki friends and things got emotional......glad to see you're back & excited Charly is going to be around for a few days.......she's heart eye emoji
Ben, British Airways are slowly renewing their fleet of aircraft. The 747's will soon be replaced with the much bigger A380's and more efficient Boeing 787's. You might get the SuperJumbo A380 on your return flight as they mainly use them on the Johannesburg, Hong Kong and Los Angeles flights. Then you will be able to see why you spend a lot to fly BA.
Hey Ben, British Airways are in the process of upgrading most of their older 747s, most should be finished by about June next year. They're quite old but I can see where you're coming from man
I bought an Urskog Frö partly from your recommendation, do you still enjoy it? Have you made any upgrades either because your wheels look wider than mine?
+Christian Desouza nope, didn't even look though the footage! Most of then aren't complete because I was focused on filming for JacksGap the whole time :) such a great adventure!
I remember the surf inn!! Will you be going on surfing mornings with Christina and Mike and Bailey and getting coconut water when you're on your way back?? I just recently re-watched your Costa Rica vlogs so it's all refreshed in my mind :) Have a great time xx
+Mr Ben Brown I aggree with the british airways thing 2 years ago i went to england to see my family and the flight over there was ok it was american airlines (apart from the people that take there socks off... disgusting) and then a month later when i went to fly back the plane was really old and i felt like i got cheaped out of my money compared to my first flight to this one
the cinematography from the 3rd flight was so stunning
Beautiful cloud shots! How awesome to be back in the same place you were last time you were in Costa Rica. I remember the amazing sunsets there. Just think how far you've come since then :)
His previous Costa Rica vlogs are my favourite he's ever done, so this makes me so happy and excited for new adventures there!
Holy shit Ben, those shots of the clouds were epic! Imagine if you'd be able to photograph them without a window in them with your best camera :O!
+WOLFBORN I know!!! I LOVE CLOUDS!!! They were so fluffy and bubbly. Cheers Ben for bringing them down.
Surf Inn Hermosa!! so many memories from the last Costa Rica trip! Who else was here for those videos?
Those were some of my favourite blogs they actually inspired me to travel their myself absolutely loved it
+Tiffany U Hell ya good times!!!
+Nathan Simpson I want to go there !! How was it!?
honestly such a beautiful place and the locals there are just so kind
Awesome time-lapse / cloud shots from the plane! Btw, did SP catch game 5 and Jays' epic comeback win?

Morning coffee + new video from Ben = perfect start to the day!

I have no f*ckin' clue what any of that said! 😂👍
+memaxmovies 3-letter designators for airports (Cape Town, Heathrow, Miami .. San Juan would be SJU)
+kazoosc 747 BA 787 A350s
you don't know what a 747 is? where have you been for the last 47 years?
the others are also planes, except for BA -- British Airways
Haha, this is great. I love that this quite accurately portrays the reality of long haul flights. Grumpiness in airports, complete excitement when you actually get there.
The clouds and sun shot at 6:56 is simply stunning, incredible, brilliant...
That moment when the plane is in the clouds and the song's vocals kick in.. SO awesome.
Great vlog Ben! Thanks for keeping it real Ben. Everyone has grumpy times.
Those shots of the clouds were bloody jaw dropping! Even though you said this was one of your grumpy vlogs mate, it was actually hilarious at various points.
Oh my god, all the nostalgia happening right now. I lived in Costa Rica for a year and have returned once for holiday... I feel like now I'll be going back there every day through Ben's super awesome vlogs!
nostalgia overload remembering back to Costa Rica! can't believe that was 18 months ago. great seeing how far you've come Ben.
super beautiful shots on the way to San Jose!! I thoroughly enjoyed this Grog.

I don't think they dispice security but rather the way it's done as it isn't the most efficient at times
Love your vlogs! Can't believe I've been watching your channel for just over two years now, keep up the great work
just spent a month volunteering in Costa Rica, so excited for these veeeelogs! such a beautiful country!!
View of the clouds was amazing!!!!! Ben is the best. Quality over Quantity.
We love a bit of grumpy Ben! Awesome vlog by the way loved those cloud shots.
Is it weird that I LOOOOOVE vlogs where it's all in transit? Cuz i just love 'em!
Those clouds are incredible!
Great vlog and the time lapse is dope.
Cant wait to see tomorrows vlog hehe! You do such an amazing editing job Ben considering you just flew half way across the world and STILL manage to produce an awesome and professional video. I for one appreciate it. Fantastic vlogs!
Is it just me re-watching the Costa Rica vlogs🙌🏼
The Costa Rica vlogs were my favourite ones you've ever done. I'm so glad you're back, with Charly and Adrian too FUCK YEAH
Yeah!!! Finally you're back. Costa Rica vlogs were the videos that made me become a full on Ben Brown fan! Those video's also made me put Costa Rica on #3 on my countriesiwant2visit-list
Hope you have a chance to visit Colorado again, this time in winter!
Good memories from last time you were at Surf Inn. Didnt you arrive in the night then too? And woke to the epic view? Also got to think of a tattoo for this trip to match the turtle!
Love this video especially the cloud shots when we the next visual vibes come out? All the best 😃
I absolutely loved this vlog! It was brilliant and I loved the whole MapBook Pro section. Hope you're having an amazing time in Costa Rica!
Love that SP is rocking the Jays hat!! #comeTOgether
Have you ever been to Nosara. I always go there when I go
Much banter in this vlog
"at least he doesn't have a beard, then he'd definitely be a terrorist"
*goes to a shot of santa, with a beard*
+Erin Ocean Sayle stoked you noticed ;) haha
Oh my god I loved the Costa Rica vlogs so much I got so happy when I saw the Surf Inn sign again. Super exited to see what's coming in the next few weeks +benbrown
Those cloud shots look freakin amazing !
Only Ben Brown could edit flying and clouds to make them look so beautiful.
Ben, how do you guys coordinate your flights? When you book do you choose your seats, or does one person book the flights and they are put together by default?
+memaxmovies Miss Charly Cox booked all of these flights, you can ask her! :)
+Mr Ben Brown I tweeted at her, but with all those followers I doubt she'll reply!
Great vlog, and really good that it's not always happy chappy, because traveling isn't always happy chappy, yet, still very exciting & worth it!!
Ben! I'm so excited for you guys to be in Costa Rica..but I hope that you don't stay in Hermosa you're whole trip, because there is soooooo much more that you guys can explore in CR! But either way, enjoy my beautiful country!! :) Pura Vida!

+Mr Ben Brown Oh well..then returning is a must! Nicole will love it here! Enjoy you're stay! Can't wait to see what you guys are filming! :)
Hola! Viajo a Costa Rica en febrero, qué lugares me recomendarías? Sobre todo los menos turísticos! Gracias:)
That cloud footage! So dreamy :) Can't wait to see more of Costa Rica, looooved your vlogs the first visit.
The time lapse and editing of the clouds was my favourite part
last years costa ricas vlogs were some of my favorites, Definitely made costa rica a travel must see
Go to Guanacaste ! Amazing beaches there, go to one called "montezuma"
That was some hardcore plane time! But so worth it. The last time I saw you at the surf inn you just said goodbye to all your contikki friends and things got emotional......glad to see you're back & excited Charly is going to be around for a few days.......she's heart eye emoji
We had a 13 hour British Airways flight from Singapore to London with no screens or power on our row..... That was a loooonnnggg flight!
I have watched all your vlogs and my favourite set of vlogs were you costa rica vlogs so I'm super excited for this! :)
I loved your Costa Rica vlogs! I'm so excited that you're in Costa Rica again!
Have fun on your trip ! I can't wait to see more videos !
So glad you made it back to Surf Inn! I think you have been needing to go back for a while!
Love those cloud shots ⛅️👌🏼

Omg I remember when you were there the last time! It's really beautiful and I really want to go there, have a great time!
are you doing a meet up here in Costa Rica this time?
honestly get so much inspiration from you ben, keep it up x
Hey Ben, British Airways are in the process of upgrading most of their older 747s, most should be finished by about June next year. They're quite old but I can see where you're coming from man
thats more like it ! insane cinematics , awesome time lapses , with sick music !
ah you arriving back there made me so happy.
tbt to last time and how much that trip meant to you
I bought an Urskog Frö partly from your recommendation, do you still enjoy it? Have you made any upgrades either because your wheels look wider than mine?
Omg I remember when you went to the Surf Inn!!! So excited that you went back.
Awesome flight shots. Honestly loved it sped up then slowed down lol. entertaining.
Yes Ben! Costa Rica always makes you insanely happy. Glad to see some Costa Rica Vibes!!!! Pura Vida!!!!

Woo, glad you're back in Costa Rica, loved your past vlogs when you were there
Sick vlog! Especially the flying shots. What camera did you use for them?
18 months?! i was here before, i dont wanna know how much of my lifetime i spent watching your vlogs haha
It's crazy how anyone could dislike your vlogs. I mean they're awesome lol. Hope you enjoy your time in Costa Rica
Bennn! I'm going back too :D how long will you be there for?
BA really needs to update their 747's, especially on the cape town route, I flew it last year, and for the cost it was ridiculous!
Ben do you keep in touch with any of the Costa Rica Contiki guys? Like Mirae or Ben
I love waking up to your vlogs
Glad you are travelling the world again man, looking forward to watching your upcoming vlogs! :)
"the map book PRO!"
i just love your humor ben😂😂
Time flies, it has already been 18 months? Hope you have a great time like last time!
Travel vlogs are the best ! xx
Brilliant! What day does buffer festival start soon?
Thanks!
flew BA back FROM Budapest and I have to agree with you! The plane was so old and the boarding process was so badly handled 🙈
them costa rica vlogs were the best, glad your back there! Enjoy your time.
Did u upload the India vlogs?
+Christian Desouza nope, didn't even look though the footage! Most of then aren't complete because I was focused on filming for JacksGap the whole time :) such a great adventure!
+Mr Ben Brown loved the visual vibes
When u plan on coming to India?
+Mr Ben Brown hey +mr ben brown why arent the jacksgap guys not uploading any vids? Any info u can share?
I remember the surf inn!! Will you be going on surfing mornings with Christina and Mike and Bailey and getting coconut water when you're on your way back??
I just recently re-watched your Costa Rica vlogs so it's all refreshed in my mind :)
Have a great time xx
Coming up in this week's vlogs in Costa Rica
"I can't wait to bring Nicole here!"
Keep up the good stuff Mr Brown
starting the day witha ben brown vlog and a coffee. life could be worse.
Those clouds were sick! Your super funny tho, the map stuff.. lol Im so excited for the vlogs, i had no idea u were going back to that same epic spot!
Sick video ben when will the next visual vibes come out? Will u get a new tattoo to go with ur previous Costa Rica tattoo ? All the best 😄😄
I love seeing what you take pictures of and I don't have to fly - which I hate.
Which country has the most unpleasant security process/people?
I loved Ben's Costa Rica vlogs!
You should come to the Florida Keys for Fantasy Fest! You would have fun filming!
+Mr Ben Brown I aggree with the british airways thing 2 years ago i went to england to see my family and the flight over there was ok it was american airlines (apart from the people that take there socks off... disgusting) and then a month later when i went to fly back the plane was really old and i felt like i got cheaped out of my money compared to my first flight to this one
First started watching your vlogs when you were in Costa Rica so excited it see you back :)
18 months! Has it been that long?! Time flies..
The airplane time lapses: How do you stick your camera to the window, or do you just hold the camera in your hand?
Wow, its been so long since you have been back to Costa Rica. I remember those vlogs like it was yesterday!
"Do we know where we are?"
"We're in San Jose--the word over there."
