    Flight attendants really do earn their money. It would kill me to get up in the middle of the night and you do it all the time. I have a lot of respect for your job. Thanks for all you do Francesco!❤️✈️

      No glamor. It’s a love hate relationship. Blogging has definitely given the average person a real perspective of how tough it is. However, I worked for b6. Minimal service compared to this mainline

      I wouldn't say they "earn" their money by simply waking up early. Lots of problems have to do that and get paid alot less, but FA's have to be very disciplined and punctual. I'll give them that

    I remember Miami's airport being huge. MIA had it's own miniature graveyard with Boeing 720s and 707s. My father worked at the industrial park where the aircrafts used to fly over. And does the expressway still run parallel to the runway? Very very nice. Please keep coming out with more vlogs!!

    That HotLogic is wonderful! Got one after seeing it featured in a few of your vlogs. My elderly parent was amazed with how well it reheated leftovers. Our hotel had a mini fridge but no microwave in room (had to go to lobby/rec area). HotLogic got restaurant leftovers toasty in 90 mins (full corningware casserole with rice, gailan, steamed bass). Parent had full belly while we went thru relatives wedding day festivities. Used HL during work trip, same stitch of mini fridge no microwave. Thx Francesco!

    Thank you for another excellent video. I love day in the life videos. I always thought that staff on flights would get free food, the same food as the passengers. This obviously isn't right as you bring meals from home (great work btw, I work in an office and am not even organised enough to do that) and put them in your food warmer at times :)

    That's weird to think that at 7:24 you were flying almost directly over me in Pinellas County (that's the entire landmass in view) and it looks like you're _directly_ above Clearwater Beach. You're mostly looking at the Gulf of Mexico to the right and all of the famous Florida beaches on the west coast, then a little corner of Tampa Bay on the far left.

    Thank you for sharing your trip. Yes, you showed that traffic on the expressway going into Miami. With me here in Chicago, it was nice seeing the traffic as our Blue Line train was running by all cars on the expressway. Yeah, I agree with you about working First Class or now some airlines call it Business Class. When I had to take the Leadership Training years ago to become a Purser, working the up there by myself I did like a lot. And then even while working on the old 747-400 or the 777, I would one senior F/A to work with me, it still felt nice. Finally, you made me laugh about eating in bed. I used to bring Ramon noodles, crackers, Wheat Thins and Star Kiss tuna packs. And I use to eat in bed. Hahaha!! Wow!! Us airline workers are cool people with a smile.😊

    As one Francesco to another, it's quite cool to see what lifestyles other jobs bring to people. I opened your video at random without seeing we had the same name until a minutes went by in the video. Originally I wanted to check out the life of a flight attendant so its quite cool to see another Francesco has this job. Nice! :)

    Hi Francesco, I agree with you. Your video is 👍 to me. You traveled: from MIA to SLC during 🥶 cold and snowy morning time. Next day: from SLC to PHX during ☀ morning time. 3rd Day: from PHX to STL during the 🥶 nightly time. Final Day: from STL to MIA during a pleasant ⛅morning and returning 🚗 to your Sweet 🏡Sweet ☕.

    This happened to my son Ronnie and me while I was visiting him in Milwaukee. We left his apartment to go out for a while and left his two Bostons there. He quickly scanned the room and we left. I had at least a half a bag of vegan gluten free Enjoy chocolate chips on the coffee table folded up in a tray. I never seen Biscuit get on the coffee table before, but lo and behold when we got back she ate the whole bag and was vomiting everywhere and her eyes were looking strange. He rushed her to the vet er and they kept her overnight and gave her medication. Thank God she was fine. The bill was going to be over $1000 dollars, but she was better the next day and it was lowered to $ 5or 6 hundred and him and Trey his ex husband split the cost! Very scary and stressful for sure! Gravy the male dog just knew she was sick and looked so sad all that night. He kept looking out the balcony door for her! Now him and his new partner has too cats, hopefully when I go back to visit this spring or summer the cats are very uneventful! Your new apartment terrific, love the layout and pretty views. Your right the kitchen island and bar stools look great! Good to see John back in your videos and you two loving Mia so much! And your mom!

    Started binge watching your videos! I have a question: I received a CJO with AA and was hoping to be based in their ATL satellite base (eventually even as a transfer) but at the f2f, they said that this base is rarely open to anyone? Do you know if being based there within six months to a year out of training would even be a possibility? It was the main reason I chose the airline and I really want to be a part of this company, but it may be too hard to commute to another base long-term and I just wanted to get your perspective. Thank you!
