United Airlines Seattle To Philly
Transcript

today's adventure begins with a
0:02
self-pumping gas nozzle right here
0:04
another reason I point these out is
0:06
because sometimes they're not working so
0:08
it's nice when the little clip does work
0:11
do not top off overflow will occur
0:16
as the recording of This is Monday
0:18
February 13th
0:20
2023 price of gas here four dollars 69
0:24
cents a gallon just outside the Seattle
0:26
Tacoma Airport where I am hopping on a
0:30
flight very shortly have a layover in
0:33
Denver and then we'll be landing later
0:35
this evening in Philadelphia it's always
0:37
frowned upon to return a rental
0:39
it's not filled up with gas they charge
0:41
you a little extra I just heard the
0:43
thing clip off
0:45
it's a pretty good rental car a little
0:46
confusing though you know it's a little
0:49
fancier than what I get I gotta upgrade
0:51
they were out of the the midsize I was
0:53
going to get and they gave me this one
0:54
and they had the the I could not figure
0:56
out how to get the seats to stop
0:58
massaging my back it took me like two
1:01
days to figure out how to turn it off it
1:03
was kind of bizarre I didn't really like
1:05
it
1:06
all right off to the airport
1:08
a lot of rental car companies in here
1:16
now this rental car facility is a little
1:16
off-site
1:18
from the airport meaning you must take a
1:21
bus
1:22
come over to the main airport itself
1:24
up to the top floor onto a bus
1:28
and then to Seatac I think they call it
1:30
Seattle Tacoma
1:32
I think that's the lingo
1:45
nice and chilly out here tonight I am
1:45
flying United today so I have to go to
1:47
Southbound
1:57
probably like
1:57
40 degrees out here guessing
2:21
Airlines at this
2:21
and I really like this guy's like
2:24
putting out the vibe right here put the
2:26
arms crossed got his leg up renter car
2:29
shut up
2:31
rental car awesome rental cars kind of
2:35
early having trouble talking so far
2:36
Seattle Tacoma International Airport
2:39
heading in oh I remember this one I flew
2:42
in here I remember this plane that's
2:43
dangling up from the ceiling right there
2:44
this whole tiny plane welcome everyone
2:46
Adam dewoo here I'm inviting you to join
2:48
me from Seattle to Denver for a short
2:51
layover United Airlines and then two
2:53
football United Airlines the whole thing
2:55
from starting off United Airlines
2:57
Seattle to Denver short layover and then
2:59
arrive in Philadelphia join
3:02
shall we all right looking at the
3:04
arrivals and departure board obviously I
3:07
am departing from here you don't have to
3:09
look up the airport you're going to and
3:11
from because you know well I know that
3:13
I'm here in Seattle all you have to do
3:14
is just find where you're heading to
3:16
which would be Denver right here
3:19
there's two different flights or
3:21
Southwest and United oh no there's
3:23
there's three different flight shows
3:24
Alaska Southwest United I am doing
3:25
United
3:26
1259 is when it departs it is flight
3:29
number 2613 gate A10 and this is a good
3:33
sign
3:34
on time at the moment it is 11 11.
3:40
estimated check time for wait time for
3:42
the checkpoints if I had pre-check it'd
3:45
be five minutes but even without
3:45
pre-check it's only a couple minutes
3:47
more not too bad
3:49
not as bad as LAX this is going to be
3:51
pretty smooth sailing okay it appears
3:53
where I was just standing was the
3:54
pre-check line the regular all Gates
3:57
line is down here
4:00
very quiet in here you see where it says
4:02
all Gates could go all the way down here
4:06
all right this still doesn't look too
4:07
bad eight minutes well there's a lot of
4:09
different ones there's eight minutes of
4:10
three minutes a three minute and a ten
4:11
minute all of those seem pretty doable
4:13
I'm just noticing that one of my shoes
4:15
is untied there's really no reason to
4:18
tie it because very very shortly I will
4:20
be taking my shoes off removing my
4:22
computer and going through all that
4:25
rigmarole all persons property may be
4:28
subject to additional screenings Beyond
4:30
this point yes you you're coming off
4:32
shoes I was chosen for additional
4:34
screening so basically I had this in one
4:37
of the trays so my camera that I'm
4:40
holding and the laptop was chosen even
4:43
though it was visible on top of the
4:44
other truck was chosen for additional
4:46
straining along with my shoes and this
4:49
was in here as well this went through
4:51
however this was in a tray everything
4:53
had to be in a tray
4:55
and I could have saved five minutes like
4:57
as if you have the the pre-check you
4:59
want to take your shoes off at this
5:01
every Airport's a little bit different
5:02
it's kind of interesting as much as I
5:03
travel to see the differences in the
5:05
airport with their screening process
5:07
this says new system automated screening
5:11
lanes and it gives all the information
5:13
there based on the Seattle Tacoma
5:15
Airport every place every some places
5:17
wanting to put this stuff right on the
5:19
Belt not in the tray sometimes you can
5:21
leave your belt on so as you leave your
5:23
shoes really just luck of the draw it
5:25
depends on what airport you're at you
5:26
got a nice little directory here even
5:28
has a you are here Legend
5:31
right
5:32
all right this is exactly where I'm at
5:34
and this is what the a Gates look like I
5:37
am over on the a side of course all the
5:40
Seattle merchandise over oh look at this
5:42
there's a Sleepless in Seattle sleep
5:46
shirt you can get here onto the moving
5:48
walkway where it seems as if I am
5:50
walking extremely fast but in reality
5:52
it's moving speed and I'm walking
5:55
blissfully as well I took a wrong the
5:57
wrong way in 10 days ago when I landed
5:59
here and I passed by this and I noticed
6:01
look down there there's the monkey
6:03
there's the Monkey Shines monkey right
6:05
there and a flamingo right up top too
6:07
and I had I got backtracked I had to go
6:10
back out that way to get my rental car
6:11
but now I'm going now I'm going the
6:12
right way this time and just to confirm
6:14
after all of that going through all that
6:16
that my flight is still on time you see
6:18
there are a lot of arrivals and
6:20
departures going out of here so I am
6:21
looking the one that's going to Denver
6:23
and then I have like an hour and 10
6:25
minute layover which means by the time I
6:26
get off the plane it'll be time to get
6:28
onto the layover as long as the weather
6:30
does come operate these are kind of
6:34
interesting something called a jabber
6:35
box it's like a little private office
6:39
wherever you need it
6:42
you can rent a little private office
6:45
that's a good idea if I needed a private
6:48
office I could I could I could rent one
6:50
that is gate eight eight I'm looking for
6:53
eight eight ten so that might be mine
6:57
ride over there in A10 look at this
6:58
really large overhead walkway glass
7:02
walkway I've never seen anything like
7:03
that it goes all the way from here all
7:06
the way across it's like a
7:08
like a hamster tube but of Greater
7:11
proportions fill the glass fill with
7:13
glass by connecting landed aircraft to
7:16
preconditioned air airplane engines
7:19
don't have to idle to heat or cool the
7:21
cabins
7:23
pretty cool that's like an artistic
7:25
rendering of the cool air I guess I do
7:27
love neon this is pretty awesome this
7:29
little art deck decor here
7:32
made by Joss Geiss called The Infinity
7:36
column this is data back to 1973 this is
7:39
one year older than I am this has been
7:42
here
7:43
for almost 50 years there's kind of an
7:46
obstructed view of my plane here at gate
7:49
A10 there's a small miniature of the
7:51
Space Needle right up there and some of
7:53
the other iconic spots landmarks around
7:56
around town as well and if I was going
8:00
to purchase the last second souvenir to
8:03
get it right here
8:04
oh it looks like Seattle was established
8:07
back in 1869 that's some of the mugs
8:10
here with the Space Needle on it
8:16
I went up in that
8:16
but a travel shawl when it's nice and
8:19
crisp and cool outside
8:20
this is a museum artifact look at this
8:23
this travel shawl is a museum artifact
8:27
that belongs in a museum got some
8:30
artistic items here oh over here too are
8:32
these like is it supposed to be like a
8:34
body part it's going to be like
8:36
like a heart this is kind of nice I did
8:38
bring my fuel Rod when I went to
8:39
Disneyland I was doing I always would
8:41
bring these are the Chargers for your
8:42
phones so if you're at a Disney park
8:44
whether it be Walt Disney World or
8:46
Disneyland you can also at this airport
8:48
they have the energy I should change out
8:49
my fuel Rod while oh I gotta put the
8:51
swap in I put this the swap in here okay
8:54
now it's in now it should work possibly
8:57
not working there it goes oh it costs a
9:01
dollar to swap it out yeah just looking
9:03
at the weather looking at the weather
9:04
earlier in Seattle and I'm showing
9:06
Denver which looks to be okay I'm only
9:09
I'm not even gonna get out of the air
9:10
I'm not gonna get out of the airport so
9:11
I'm gonna step outside so it doesn't
9:13
make a huge difference and then
9:15
Philadelphia which I will be in the
9:16
Philadelphia area staying just outside
9:18
the city I think I should have staying
9:20
right technically in New Jersey right
9:21
over the river a couple miles from
9:23
Philly but this is gonna be what the
9:25
weather is looking like for today and I
9:28
will be in that area for a short 10 or
9:30
so
9:31
it's going to be nice kind of nice and
9:33
cool each day all right I found a pretty
9:35
good angle of my flight here A10 they're
9:39
preparing it I think it boards in about
9:40
10
9:42
15 minutes
9:53
you can see the walkway in
9:54
over that way
10:06
I'm really enjoying traveling lately I
10:06
really enjoying doing a lot of flights
10:07
going to a place for like a week week
10:08
and a half
10:10
I'm gonna do a lot of that this year
10:11
just kind of kind of bounce around all
10:13
over
10:18
you know you don't want to go to a place
10:18
for too short of a time frame you don't
10:20
want to stay too long either you just
10:21
want to kind of change it up keep mixing
10:25
things up a little bit
10:27
you said it stress me out going to
10:29
airports and going through all the
10:31
checkpoints and waiting around but I'm
10:34
kind of getting I'm kind of starting to
10:35
get used to it once you just know you
10:36
have to
10:38
you really don't you really don't mind
10:39
it as much I try to find myself in not
10:42
quite as bit of a rush I was trying to
10:44
get to the airport a little earlier too
10:45
so I'm not stressed about missing the
10:47
flight
10:48
oh the ground's kind of interesting
10:51
looking it's designed to look like it's
10:52
out of focus
11:04
row five
11:04
which is a window seat also has anyone
11:07
utilizing these six foot
11:10
six foot idea anymore
11:13
you still see the stickers everywhere
11:26
oh
11:32
noticing this plane does not have the TV
11:32
things in front of the seat in front of
11:34
you but definitely a lot of leg room
11:52
as you find your seat spacered Archer
11:52
bags into overhead bin Wheels first
11:54
please keep your smaller items and
11:56
jackets with you let's go upon space for
11:58
the larger carryout small items maybe
12:00
placed under the seat in front of you
12:02
I'm getting the pushback here from A9
12:07
I say to this before but a plane does
12:09
not go in reverse on its own motor
12:11
engine
12:12
let's have this little tug machine that
12:14
pushes them back the forecasted
12:17
turbulence
12:18
right now in Denver
12:21
winds out of the East at seven on Stamos
12:23
was really few clouds at 9 000 with a
12:25
couple other layers of 14 000 and 22 000
12:28
temperatures 64 degrees
12:31
I would like to take this opportunity
12:33
first of all thank you so much for
12:35
flying United Airlines so we really
12:36

12:38

13:00
bring a 1980s Walkman or a remote
13:03
control car
13:06
second in line to take off
13:45
I always love takeoff and Landing
14:26
gosh
14:27
turbulence coming up
15:16
I'd say just made an announcement that
15:16
seatbelt sign is back on and everyone to
15:19
stay seated with the turbulence
15:39
a beautiful views of the NASA mountain
15:39
ranges down here some snow-capped
15:41
Mountain
16:00
therefore we're gonna turn up the seat
16:00
belt signs you'll be free to walk around
16:02
the cabinet we do as though if you're
16:04
sitting up please give it to your
16:06
seatbelt fast and Conor forecasting
16:08
journals
16:09
now we're looking at the
16:37
Coca-Cola or the glass
16:37
also give you the
16:39
can I should say so this one they just
16:43
give you the ice and the Coca-Cola now
16:46
as far as food goes on this flight they
16:49
only had one option it's called a
16:51
vegetarian grain
16:53
meal
16:56
that was the only option so it smells
16:59
pretty good vegetarian grain Bowl meal
17:02
of course there's some chicken Keys down
17:04
in there
17:06
greens
17:14
and possibly some carrots one of those
17:14
little cookie pies and a roll
17:18
I still never really understood what the
17:20
glass over there was for
18:20
as we're gonna initiate our descent and
18:20
uh
18:22
we are expecting a little bit of a bumpy
18:26
right during The Descent just because of
18:28
the mountains to rain around the town of
18:31
Alaska so with that being said if you
18:33
need to get up this would be a great
18:35
time to do so use the facilities because
18:37
uh in about 15 maybe 20 minutes I'll
18:40
turn on outside
18:43
the
18:46
weather hasn't changed at almost 50
18:48
degrees uh ceiling 20 000 feet
18:59
it's going to uh Bravo 39 great uh b39
18:59
it wasn't it thank you so much for going
19:01
with us it's a pleasure having your
19:02

20:08
4 22 p.m please take off her to be
20:11
defeated until the pizza tonight we're
20:14

20:20
yeah that definitely seems to be a lot
20:20
more united planes here if they were
20:22
where I just departed from
20:29
pull it into the station
20:29
all right about halfway there
20:32
just about halfway there
20:34
well halfway through the flight process
20:36
anyway all right this place is pretty
20:38
busy it's got a quite a few different
20:40
walkways through here see if I can find
20:43
the departure
20:49
I almost forgot where I was going for a
20:49
second I'm going to Philadelphia okay
20:51
this place is pretty busy
20:54
place is definitely a real beehive of
20:56
activity e45
21:04
gate beehive of activity report
21:04
35. Philadelphia my next stop everything
21:08
looks good to go departure 5 46 PM this
21:12
case says b47 so I don't think that's
21:15
not the one that's supposed to be going
21:16
down the ramp on but still showing same
21:18
Airlines though just showing a lot of
21:20
their parents ah from this angle looking
21:22
out this window b47 the one I just
21:25
showed right there
21:26
there is my pony well my plane
21:30
could be 45 right directly underneath
21:32
the control tower should be boarding a
21:35
half hour give a text I'm just kind of
21:37
walking around until it's my time to go
21:39
back to my gate there's a little Atrium
21:41
here with a big American flag in the
21:42
middle here and some shops and whatnot
21:44
this whole area reminds me of like a
21:46
mall it's like just so many different
21:48
shops in this little area some Colorado
21:50
gear so it's like I'm stepping into like
21:52
a straight up mall over through here
21:55
here's some other Denver Denver items
21:58
over here let's see what they got
21:59
oh yeah Colorado Grand Lake Colorado
22:02
Colorado there's Bigfoot Bigfoot and
22:05
some UFOs right there there's a Denver
22:06
shirt oh check out Elway's over there I
22:09
guess that would be John Elway's
22:11
restaurant just a few days ago I was
22:13
went to Portland and I went to the very
22:15
first ever Voodoo Donuts there's one
22:17
here in the airport in Denver as well
22:18
the ones I usually go to there's one at
22:20
Universal Studios Hollywood but I went
22:22
to the first one in Portland
22:24
the other day and now I'm not going to
22:27
get anything here but I just wanted to
22:28
point out that there is one here this
22:30
alien wants nothing but peace and donuts
22:32
or a piece of a donut this airport
22:34
really is something else this is like
22:37
this is like next level well I'm on the
22:39
upper level but I mean next level take a
22:41
look at this look at the size of this
22:43
one oh
22:45
there's a
22:54
huge
22:54
the double decker
22:56
seems a lot larger than a normal
23:00
airplane
23:02
all right once again row five this time
23:04
I'm not in seat a I am in seat F which
23:07
will be on the other side of the plane
23:09
towards the front
23:10
still same same seat section
23:13
but opted for one
23:16
but just stepped out hopped it for one
23:18
side of the plane
23:19
for the first leg and the other side of
23:21
the plane for the second leg
23:23
five
23:46
way to your seat if you'll kindly step
23:46
in or turn to the side let those
23:48
customers stand behind you pass this
23:49
will help expedite the boarding process
23:52
568 with service to Philadelphia welcome
23:54
of course as you may have heard maybe a
23:57
few boxes we leave the Denver area and
23:58
I'm gonna mostly smooth ride perhaps
24:01
with some intermittent bumps as we go
24:02
down the road towards Philly
24:05
with that in mind the fastest seat belt
24:07
sign is a tool to help you be as safe as
24:09
possible when it's on that's an
24:10
indication that we think it's safer for
24:12
you to be in your seat with your
24:13
seatbelt fast and for your safety
24:15
there's also is around you
24:17
how to keep it off as much as it's safe
24:19
to do so thanks for joining us we'll be
24:21
on our way here very shortly welcome on
24:23
board
25:26
and look at that Sunset off in the
25:26
distance too
25:27
well the remains of a sunset
26:12
going through some rain
26:12
look at that you can see the rain right
26:33
when they experience a little bit of
26:33
turbulence for just a little bit so
26:34
flight attendants will be staying seated
26:36
just a little bit longer than normal and
26:37
again we do remind you to please make
26:39
sure you and your seats with your
26:40
seatbelts back
26:45
we do have four Laboratories located on
26:45
board the aircraft to it back in one of
26:47
the big cabin for those customers seated
26:49
in our main cabin and there is a
26:51
lavatory in the first part for our
26:52
customers
26:54
wow
27:06
all right for my meal
27:06
they said they were all out of
27:08
everything again except for thank you
27:11
yeah they said they were out of
27:12
everything except for the vegetarian
27:15
thing I have in the last flight
27:18
evidently they didn't
27:20
Miss some of the other stuff so I feel
27:22
like I have a food box which just said
27:24
that was fine and then then she came
27:27
back and said oh we have like a burger
27:28
there's a pretzel burger which I think
27:31
is just what you could order out of the
27:33
back but they're gonna give me this
27:36
the same thing I know before even though
27:38
it looks like I get the cake and the
27:39
cookie again though
27:41
I got a Coca-Cola
27:42
so I'm gonna have this pretzel burger
27:44
with cheddar bacon and beer cheese
27:49
this doesn't look too bad x marks the
27:52
spot you could say
28:06
bacon of mustard on it
28:06
going over the top of the city down
28:10
can't really tell where exactly I am
28:15
look it's completely dark out there and
28:19
that city is illuminated
28:26
here's another little town or city down
28:26
there another 10 minute flight from the
28:30
ridge as well again not really sure
28:32
where that is very
29:21
and I think it's about time for
29:21
piping hot
29:23
caffeinated beverage at a high altitude
29:39
and it's starting to get pretty close to
29:39
Philadelphia say probably another half
29:42
hour until they land
29:44
yeah
29:46
right now they're showing about 48
29:48
degrees
29:55
should have you on the ground
29:55
oh about three or four minutes past the
29:57
hour into the gate a few minutes after
29:59
that
30:04
longer but when we do turn it on please
30:04
make sure you see those are securely
30:05
possible
30:07
this has certainly been a Coast-to-Coast
30:09
travel guide
30:10
almost at my destination now
30:13
we're starting The Descent
30:15
as I speak
30:34
still is pretty classy to me that you
30:34
can leave one side of the country
30:38
in the same day and arrive on the
30:40
complete opposite side of the same
30:42
country
30:46
to totally
30:46
opposite places in the U.S
30:51
flying is just so fascinating to me
31:02
it looks like there's some sort of
31:02
downtown down there sat downtown
32:02
circled around we passed that downtown
32:02
area
32:03
circled back as they were going right
32:05
back by it but the airport must be right
32:08
near downtown they're really close
32:10
because I could see the skyline right
32:13
kind of went past that circled around
32:15
and I'll start extreme descent
32:34
this is why I always choose a window
32:34
seat
33:10
all right here is the touchdown coming
33:10
in hot
33:50
I wish I might look at a wing I have a
33:52
William Shatner moment from Twilight
33:54
Zone TV show
33:56
there's no Goblin or Gremlin on the no
33:58
Gremlin on the wing this time though
34:00
thankfully
34:09
on the wing
34:09
welcome to Philadelphia local time is
34:12
1102. you can continue
34:28
until we've come to a complete stop at
34:28
the gate in the fastest seat belt sign
34:29
is turned off
34:30
at that time please check around your
34:32
seating area girl burst of belongings
34:34
that you brought on board also please
34:35
use caution
34:37
when opening the overhead then
34:58
to be honest I don't know if I've ever
34:58
been to this airport before they have
34:59
some like vases and pottery right in
35:02
here it's kind of late it's like 11 15
35:05
at the moment hopefully the rental car
35:07
is on site and I'll take a bus over to
35:10
it going down this escalator and
35:13
officially in Philadelphia and it
35:16
appears as if I do have to take a bus or
35:18
should I say a shuttle over to the
35:20
rental car I need to look for zone two
35:23
hopefully it's running this late it's
35:25
almost midnight not quite midnight but
35:27
11 30ish hope it's still running
35:30
bus is pulling in
35:32
to the area
35:34
three of these
35:42
it's always a whole process
35:42
oh is it half the time up here
35:45
it says January oh that's not right
35:53
it's a January 1st 1990 I might have
35:53
gone back in time well I have gone back
35:56

36:06
interesting Philadelphia trip

New Year's Day 1990 at 6 30 A.M
36:16

36:37
Twilight Zone I am now in my rental car
36:37
sitting behind the wheel
36:43

36:43
now I'm gonna head over to my hotel just
36:45
across the river technically it's in
36:47
Jersey just out of the
36:50
just out of the city
36:52
but I will be in this area
36:54
for uh pretty good well more than a few
36:58
days
36:58
it's a greater Philly area even though
37:00
I'll probably Venture off into other
37:01
areas as well
37:03
I won't just stay exactly in the city
37:04
I'll Venture around as I've known to do
37:07
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
37:10
is over
