      Flight reports are also fine. Y'know, you won't connect everything by rail, even HSR
      Planes are the great thing, HSR (and regular Intercity, regional and city rail, depending on the situation) is just better for some usage :P

    aprils fools or not april fools, you can always start a parallel channel with flight reports. While it was not bad, it is not in the level of your train reports. With some extra love, you can make awesome aviation videos as well.

    As an Atlanta resident, I'm glad that you like Delta, or "home" airline, the most. It's a good airline, and in Atlanta we have one of the world's best airports. :)

    Suggest you try JetBlue next time you are flying in the States. I think you will find it as good if not better than Delta. F.Y.I. Alaska Airlines is a Seattle based company that has an extensive network in Alaska.

    So I’ve been watching your channel for a while now and I love the geographic variety you provide! Seeing how European trains compare to American ones and maybe we’ll even see some other places someday too.
    One thing keeps bothering me though.. I can’t seem to find any info on the train from Europe to the US. You should do a review of that!

    Great video! Just as good as one of your train reports. You should do flight reviews more often. Your style is very suited for it. 😊
    What date and flight number was your flight? It should be easy to track down the aircraft trail number using those two bits of info. 🙂

    I don't know if it is still true, but being French, you will appreciate this. At the beginning of the F Concourse at Sea-Tac Airport, there was a wine bar, a great place to wait for your flight. I almost missed mine. Why? For some reason, peoples phones switched to Paris, France and changed the time accordingly! As soon as I left the wine bar, my phone switched back to Seattle/Tacoma. I asked the bartender about that, and he said it happened all the time and no one knew why. NOT April Fool's. True story.

  • @EpicThe112
    @EpicThe112 3 роки тому

    Since you are from France their European partner is British Airways since they joined Oneworld alliance since yesterday. That means you must use a British Airways frequent flyer miles to gain mileage points on Alaska Airlines. You're better off doing DL Seattle to Anchorage to use Air France mileage points. You might need to try Seattle light rail

    @johndornoff 3 роки тому

    US Airports try to hardest to insure that it is so difficult to use transit to get to the airport even where there is transit service to the airport because they make so much money from parking revenue.
    Alaska has always boarding the same way at least every time I have flown them and I have quit a few miles on Alaska since they are my favorite airline although I am now stuck living 3 1/2 hours from the nearest Alaska Airport (Minneapolis) and normally stuck flying American.
