0:04
2023 it's about 11 A.M I have a flight
0:07
that departs in about two hours at 1 pm
0:10
it was delayed from 12 40 to 1 p.m in
0:14
the afternoon Spirit Airlines which I
0:16
have flown before but I have never
0:18
done the larger seats so I'll be doing
0:21
that sitting towards the front of the
0:23
plane just a little more Elbow Room and
0:25
I will be going one way from Las Vegas
0:29
to Orlando back home to MCO Orlando
0:31
International I'm inviting you
0:33
to join me
0:35
John price of gas here 489 a gallon got
0:40
the little self-pumping mechanism there
0:42
working in full effect there's a little
0:46
souvenir place right over there
0:47
souvenirs and gifts
0:49
there's the Hilton
0:51
and you can see the top of the big
0:52
ferris wheel off in the distance
0:54
whenever you rent a car it's frowned
0:56
upon not to fill up with gas so you've
0:58
got you got to do that up in front of me
1:00
is a rent-a-car center bus
1:06
it's a little bit off-site it is not so
1:06
you return the rental cars a couple
1:09
miles away from the airport
1:11
I'm gonna be cutting it close I think
1:13
I'll be all right though the rental car
1:15
place is just right over here about a
1:16
half mile away from where I am but it's
1:18
probably about two miles from the
1:20
airport itself
1:22
there it is
1:23
rental car return
1:25
straight ahead
1:38
I always feel so uncomfortable driving
1:38
over these
1:39
spikes down here
1:52
nothing ever happens but I'm always in
1:52
fear that I'm gonna puncture a tire or
1:54
something
1:55
got it dropped off I have remembered
1:59
my personal items I did not forget to
2:03
return the key and now I'm heading
2:06
to the airport shuttle
2:08
through here yeah through here
2:11
pretty sure through here
2:13
hey I'm going
2:16
they really are making it a whole point
2:18
about dropping the keys off they don't I
2:19
guess they have an issue with a lot of
2:21
people leaving their keys or taking
2:22
their keys with them
2:24
these are my shovels Spirit Airlines all
2:27
right I made it on I like these seats
2:29
kind of retro looking seats
2:31
put my bags over there with all the
2:33
other bags mine's like kind of over
2:34
there tucked in the corner and now on
2:37
the commuter bus
2:39
over the airport I think I think I'm
2:40
gonna make it
2:54
I took about 10 minutes give or take and
2:54
maybe five ten minutes now gonna head
2:57
across here
2:59
to the spirit area
3:04
see if the flight is still
3:04
scheduled slated for the time if it's
3:06
been delayed or not pretty consistent on
3:08
the rental car shuttles here's another
3:09
one pull it in also you can see the
3:11
strip from here too look
3:19
there's the stratosphere off of the
3:21
distance over there
3:23
got the arrivals over here so three
3:25
screens of arrivals and six screens one
3:29
two three four five six screens of
3:32
Departures mine would be here under
3:34
Orlando there's a few other airlines
3:36
that go to Orlando but I am looking for
3:38
the spirit one which would be the fifth
3:40
one up and it looks like it is 101 PM is
3:43
when it's departing originally it was
3:45
going to be at 12 32. it was pushed back
3:47
gate A7 flight number 1138 Spirit
3:52
Airlines out of Las Vegas to Orlando
3:55
let's think about airports there's
3:57
always escalators and according to that
4:00
Rolex on the side of the wall that is
4:02
five minutes to noon thanks Rolex on the
4:05
side of the wall
4:10
so I got about an hour and six minutes
4:10
till departure so C and D Gates are down
4:13
there but take it back there's all
4:14
there's like actual
4:16
you can gamble in here there's Casino
4:18
stuff over there you can like you can do
4:19
the total
4:21
casino Vegas thing over there if you
4:22
wanted to hit some slots
4:25
I'm not doing that going to go into my
4:28
flight this does not look too bad this
4:30
looks pretty dang mellow all right gonna
4:32
put my camera away and
4:34
see you past the checkpoints okay that
4:35
was pretty Flawless and quick and and
4:37
painless more or less however I do have
4:39
a portable fan in here I take to hotels
4:40
with me and that triggered something
4:42
where they ended up having to like check
4:44
that and they said maybe the motor and
4:45
the fan even though I've used the same
4:47
fan going through a bunch of airports
4:48
they ended up having to double check the
4:50
bag and then obviously I had to take
4:51
this and put an individual truck and you
4:53
got some last second Las Vegas
4:55
merchandise if you so choose to purchase
4:57
and then over here also more slot
4:59
machines and other accessories Wheel of
5:02
Fortune Shake Shack a bake shop lots
5:05
lots of fun slots
5:07
it's lots of fun I gotta find the get
5:10
the air Gates hey isn't this wild it's
5:12
just all these slots through here you
5:13
just you could just play Slots before
5:14
you get on the plane you haven't lost
5:16
all your money or won a lot you could do
5:18
it before you travel home
5:22
I am here
5:27
it's very very
5:27
it's going to be a rainy takeoff out of
5:31
Las Vegas I could just see looking out
5:32
out there on the tarmac in the runway
5:34
that is a lot of rain precipitation that
5:38
doesn't take a look over here you can
5:39
see Spirit Airlines but to Vegas in the
5:41
background which is pretty dang cool
5:43
it's pretty cool to see it like this
5:44
it's like a little bit of time to wander
5:46
around there's gonna be a full flight
5:47
there was a lot of people waiting over
5:48
there according to this still on time
5:51
111 it is the party and then over here
5:53
in this little area more slavish and I
5:55
believe this is my plan yeah pulling
5:58
right up to A7 right over here take a
6:00
look going right into the A7 gate it's
6:05
kind of cool you can see the strip over
6:07
there that is how close in proximity the
6:10
airport is
6:11
to Vegas I mean it's not even that far
6:14
outside of the city
6:17
kind of timed this perfectly I went into
6:19
way too long before boarding maybe 20 30
6:21
minutes before they start boarding and
6:23
then another 45 from right now after
6:25
they take off off in the distance
6:27
there's Mandalay Bay and New York New
6:31
York over there and take a look at this
6:33
very large plane over there I don't
6:35
think that is a passenger play I don't
6:37
think that's a passenger plane at all
6:39
I've been here come across the tarmac
6:40
comes a little piece of heavy machinery
6:43
almost like a backhoe of some sort now I
6:45
walked over to another section looking
6:46
across that A7 which is where I will be
6:48
boarding you see the Spirit Airlines out
6:50
there the guests that are on there are
6:52
now departing they should clean the
6:54
plane and then we should be getting on
6:55
very soon also there's an area over here
6:57
dedicated to Howard Hughes and some of
7:00
his contributions to the airline
7:01
industry and also a suit that he used to
7:04
wear worn by the band himself there's a
7:07
little display case over here which is
7:08
kind of kind of neat as well all right
7:10
Zone one I am in seat two a
7:14
seven one
7:16
towards the front of the plane I would
7:18
imagine I've never done the bigger seats
7:21
on Spirit I've only flown Spirit one
7:22
time it wasn't the greatest experience
7:24
I'm hoping this kind of adds a little
7:27
retribution
7:51
droplets coming down the side of the
7:51
window
8:01
yeah just to reiterate a lot of room
8:01
I mean definitely a lot of distance
8:02
between my knee and the back of the seat
8:10
these front seats are only two seats
8:10
there's one seat here seat there
8:17
pulling away from the gate it says howdy
8:17
on the side of the Wind
8:23
across the tarmac down to new runway for
8:23
a liftoff hopefully I get a good bird's
8:26
eye view of Vegas from up here
8:49
sort of sorted snacks for sale and
8:49
coffee soft drinks juices mixers
8:52
no meal on these plants I'm not playing
8:55
but we do have treats Meats bites
8:59
try a cafe snack box which you might be
9:02
calling my name
9:17
it's also interesting the difference
9:17
this in other airlines is there's no
9:19
like kind of barricade in the front up
9:21
there you just see you know where all
9:23
the drinks and the coffee and the snacks
9:25
and where the captains and the pilots go
9:26
in and out
9:28
pretty open compared to other airlines
9:30
here at the front seats
9:58
it took a while to get over to the
9:58
runway but probably 20 minutes and just
10:00
waiting in a traffic line of airplanes
10:02
so the plane was going to take off I
10:04
think at 12 27 got pushed back to 111.
10:07
now like 145 146ish give or take finally
10:13
taken off oh there's another plane
10:16
landing
11:34
off in the distance is Vegas in the
11:34
strip for future reference I probably
11:36
need to be on the right side of the
11:38
plane facing forward
11:40
from the side I'm on
11:42
and again we might spin around but yeah
11:44
I think I would have got a better View
12:29
of this area of the country there's a
12:29
little bit of lingering snow down there
12:31
in the mountains
12:38
really extreme mountains but kind of a
12:38
hilly terrain through here
13:06
now as far as these seats go there is no
13:06
meal and no free snacks so every snack
13:09
has a price but I got the snack box
13:12
which I'm going to open a cup of ice I
13:16
got this classic selection cheese tray
13:19
and
13:35
this this is says it's the perfect snack
13:35
I do like cheese and crackers
13:42
I'm gonna see what it's like to pour a
13:42
soda when there's like a little bit of
13:44
slight turbulence
14:10
Alpine style sharp cheddar American
14:10
blend and smoked American cheese
14:14
also some dried apples cranberries and
14:18
crackers
14:25
I don't know what that little stick is
14:25
right there
14:46
know what that stick is used for maybe
14:46
you maybe grab the cheese with a little
14:48
little pitch full time
14:51
now it's not slices of cheese it's a big
14:54
blocks of cheese which is pretty good I
14:57
thought maybe they're gonna be like
14:58
slices you peeled apart but it's just a
15:00
picture
15:08
them on their side just to show the
15:08
thickness of the cheese not slices just
15:11
big big chunks of cheese
15:31
all right inside the snack box is
15:31
something called cookie thin thinsters
15:35
chocolate chip cookies
15:46
some sea salt almonds Peterson's sea
15:46
salt almonds
15:52
they really pack a lot in this little
15:52
box Sunkissed fruit snacks
16:07
then some olive oil and sea salt slow
16:07
baked crackers
16:18
that you can lather up with some white
16:18
cheddar cheese
16:19
Gourmet cheese spread and then you got a
16:22
little handy hand wipe down here
16:52
out for the almonds I'm noticing the
16:52
almonds that are pictured on the front
16:55
are a lighter color than the real
16:57
almonds
17:02
yeah just a little bit of a different
17:02
hue
17:18
now for Cookie Time chocolate chip
17:18
cookies
17:26
try one of them already they're kind of
17:26
crunchy they're not
17:28
you know they're like a crunchier type
17:29
of cookie
17:42
after some snacks peeking out the window
17:42
and looks as some different terrain out
17:45
there now no more Mountains no more snow
17:49
got some crop circles
17:51
down below
17:54
I didn't mean to rhyme with Dr Seuss I
17:57
was Untouchable I'm always fascinated by
17:59
all these circles down there
18:01
the
18:02
property lines are squares some of them
18:05
are circles
18:35
a little bit of turbulence right now
18:35
this is a wing kind of bouncing around
18:37
out there
18:40
a couple little pockets of turbulence on
18:42
this trip
18:44
no storms per set but evidently there's
18:48
some
18:50
Infamous weather in the winds I don't
18:53
really know what causes turbulence but
18:54
there's some right now
19:14
grounding Orlando and uh
19:14
right at one hour and three minutes
19:24
they're tough to film through the window
19:24
because the lights are on in the cabin
19:26
and it's now dark outside which creates
19:29
quite a glare it's always a challenge
19:31
when it's nighttime outside they have
19:34
the lights on and they're going through
19:36
getting the trash out of the cabin
19:39
might be Orlando or maybe not Orlando
19:42
but I know we are starting on the center
19:54
I don't think that was Orlando
19:54
we're on this thing I don't think that
19:56
was Orlando though maybe Jacksonville
19:59
Tallahassee
20:08
together
20:08
with the lights on in the cabin
20:10
I think that's downtown for
20:18
the lights and you'll be able to see a
20:18
little bit better outside
20:19
it's off the clear
20:59
see the more I look at it I think that
20:59
might
22:04
eight unfortunately that date is
22:04
occupied right now we're on the radio of
22:07
the operation Personnel try to get an
22:09
estimate how long it's going to be
22:10
thanks for your patience tonight with
22:12
all this please remain in your seats
22:14
with your seat belts fast until we're at
22:15
the gate and I turn off that side thank
22:17
you
22:18
date for us when we get some more
22:20
information I'll certainly pass that on
22:22
again thanks for your patience
22:41
finally going up to the gate now
22:41
it's kind of sitting on the tarmac for
22:43
probably 20 minutes
23:03
this is basically my final destination
23:03
because I live here but there's a lot of
23:06
people on this plane that are actually
23:07
getting out it's getting a layover all
23:09
the way up to Detroit which is kind of
23:11
surprising
23:13
go from Vegas to Florida gonna lay over
23:16
to Detroit
23:23
however I think a lot of them are going
23:23
to miss their flight unfortunately
23:24
there's a lot of unhappy people on here
23:26
for obvious reasons
23:35
so flight was about an hour and a half
23:35
late boarding and another 45 minutes
23:38
late Landing to getting up to the gate
23:41
obviously over here with the other value
23:43
Airlines ladies and gentlemen we have
23:46
been moved to gate number four now we're
23:49
just waiting on some ground Personnel to
23:51
come Park us
23:52
again please stand on seats with no seat
23:54
belts fast and hopefully we get in
23:56
shortly and get you folks on your way
24:31
okay we're trying to run over to their
24:31
spots
24:39
I'm definitely not in Nebraska
24:39
all right
24:42
I've arrived in Orlando
24:47
wild to make a layover in Orlando go
24:49
back to Detroit when you're already I
24:52
don't know it just seems man it is now 9
24:55
00 p.m Florida time upon arrival of
24:57
course there's a three-hour time
24:58
difference from Vegas but yeah
25:01
9 pm Florida time oh I know I don't work
25:05
and get to take the train over all lit
25:08
up with the pink neon over here to
25:10
baggage claim I believe I parked my car
25:12
at parking garage a a
25:22
parking garage a I drove my own personal
25:22
vehicle and parked it for 10 days though
25:24
10 or 10 or so days I was gone
25:39
oh I actually exited off though so you
25:39
see everybody's actually off here I
25:41
never realized there was a chapel over
25:43
here
25:45
holy cow there's a chapel over here
25:47
Orlando International Airport Chapel
25:50
place for quiet reflection and Solitude
25:52
for visitors of all faiths I had no idea
25:56
but there was a chapel in here and
25:59
MCO Orlando International this is
26:01
awesome
26:03
right near the where the monorail
26:06
drops off over there
26:12
wow I learned something new today
26:12
yeah yeah
26:21
very interesting all right
26:21
yeah I chose to drive my own car and
26:23
park it that way I'll just pay the
26:24
tickets 19 per day I was gone and I
26:27
could just drive straight home which
26:29
kind of works out pretty good because
26:31
with the delays and everything
26:34
it's you know just kind of easier that
26:36
way it's just a random boat in here
26:39
right along here this Craig cap
26:43
also they put up these little queue
26:45
lines over this decorative design
26:48
flowery decorative design here on the
26:50
floor floor
27:09
good to be back now if I remember right
27:09
I think I parked at P3
27:13
raccoon
27:40
card game three
27:40
right over here should be yes
27:43
I recognize these raccoons right here
27:46
that's been eating the watermelon and
27:48
this one drinking out of a bottle
27:50
so I should be on this level
27:59
wow surprisingly
28:00
cool and crisp out
28:06
Florida feels pretty good right over
28:06
there in the distances the control tower
28:10
not a bad flight
28:11
you're always kind of taking a chance
28:13
with some of the value Airlines
28:15
you know with layovers and whatnot with
28:16
those seats I had
28:18
where I think they were worth the extra
28:19
little bit of extra money
28:21
to get the bigger seats didn't really
28:23
come with a meal or anything like that
28:24
you had to buy your own snacks but
28:31
wasn't bad now that I think about it I
28:31
think I was one level up
28:34
because I parked over here towards the
28:35
edge
28:37
for one I usually when I go to the theme
28:38
parks I'll take a photo of where I
28:40
parked
28:41
but I neglected to do that here
28:44
I'm just going off a memory but I think
28:45
I'll be all right I'm over here in the
28:47
corner scratch that I was down one level
28:49
I was on the Raccoon level
28:52
down towards the end right over there
29:00
click the clicker on my car
29:00
made the honking sound
29:02
and I realized it was over here at the
29:04
point
29:05
got a nice little view of some planes
29:07
pulling it over there too
29:22
there's one landed just landed over
29:22
there in the distance too going by the
29:24
light's going by oh it's taking off
29:26
taking off
29:29
that's gonna do it for today I do love
29:31
the travel I like seeing new things
29:33
continually staying busy
29:35
always being out and about but sometimes
29:38
it's nice to go home for just a short
29:39
time
29:40
rejuvenate recoup rest up and replant
29:45
I'll see you in the next video the Vlog
29:49
is over oh yeah I also got this
29:52
gotta see how much it is to pay when I
29:54
pay to park on the way out
29:59
ten dollars was a total I think I was
30:00
gone 10 maybe I think probably 11 days
