will be sitting
0:45
at a window seat about halfway
0:47
through the plank close to the wing
0:49
don't quote me on that i'm inviting you
0:52
to join me for this flight trip
0:55
experience leaving from orlando arriving
0:58
to o'hare this is orlando international
1:00
mco
1:02
to uni
1:03
to o'hare
1:05
renting a car once i'm in o'hare and
1:06
then seeing how the next series of days
1:09
goes i have some plans this is a little
1:11
bit of a hint
1:12
it's kind of a deep cut hint but it's
1:14
still a hint
1:16
the other days i have no plans i got to
1:17
figure that when i get there join me
1:19
shall you and i'm going to need to don
1:22
one of these again
1:23
inside the airport and on the flight
1:26
also heading to ticketing and check-in
1:30
okay i gotta put this on as i'm heading
1:31
up and it appears as if my flight is not
1:34
delayed there are three or four where
1:35
there's two up there that say delayed in
1:37
fact there are one two three four five
1:40
different flights american and united i
1:42
am on united the one at 12 24 is delayed
1:45
i am on the 235 departure
1:48
that is not delayed it states
1:51
on time
1:53
a good thing it's a very good thing i do
1:56
not have tsa pre-check
1:58
so i have to go over into this little
2:00
category over here case 1 through 59 i
2:02
am looking for gate
2:04
47. i've never noticed the roof in here
2:06
too pretty interesting looking
2:08
architecture of the roof
2:10
this might take a little while but not
2:11
too bad i've seen it worse i am
2:13
classified as a standard
2:16
screening hello
2:22
oh yeah look at all those that's like a
2:22
bigger board of all the departures
2:24
and arrivals
2:26
and the gates one through 59 section has
2:28
some sea life up there
2:30
look at that there's like some sea life
2:32
swimming around up there in a digital
2:33
format
2:35
i feel like i'm in a queue line for a
2:36
theme park or like in a maze there are
2:38
people that are kind of cutting through
2:40
which makes sense because there's a lot
2:41
of unused
2:42
areas right here
2:44
yeah i feel like
2:46
i'm about to get on space
2:48
past this point only ticketed passengers
2:51
only i must have my photo id and
2:53
boarding pass
2:58
don't embarrass me
2:58
i raised you better than act okay
3:00
they're saying
3:01
that if someone's mother was here but
3:04
you shouldn't and don't make a scene tsa
3:07
standard screening
3:09
i think i'm gonna go through number six
3:12
which is empty all beverages before
3:15
screening i'm gonna go through that
3:16
little metal detector to say this is my
3:17
favorite part of the process i would be
3:19
fibbing i would be lying completely that
3:21
didn't take too long now it is
3:22
interesting to me though sometimes
3:23
they'll make you take your shoes off
3:25
sometimes they'd make you take your
3:26
electronics out of the bag which i did i
3:28
think my laptop and the keyboard the
3:30
portable keyboard that plugs into my
3:31
laptop because my laptop's
3:33
not really doing so well so i had to get
3:34
a portable keyboard that attaches to it
3:36
i put that in a separate tray and then
3:38
sometimes they take you take the
3:39
electronics out sometimes sometimes they
3:41
don't but went through it pretty quick
3:43
and now you don't have to scan your
3:45
you just all you do is just scan your id
3:48
i just showed my driver's license and
3:50
they knew which which flight i was going
3:52
to and according to this flight 1500 235
3:56
departure still
3:58
on top here is a general layout of the
4:00
land i'm looking for gate 47
4:03
up here
4:05
there's a monorail on this high
4:07
and then there's a monorail on this side
4:09
can i catch this door
4:22
the doors are now opening
4:22
please exit to gates 3359
4:26
please watch your step
4:38
all right 30-59
4:38
i'm in the 40s somewhere and it does
4:40
show
4:41
that
4:42
these are required
4:44
i'm just curious you think anyone
4:45
follows the three feet anymore
4:48
ah that's
4:49
i was a betting man i would probably say
4:50
no however these are required
4:54
in the airport still no there's a united
4:57
plane right out there
4:59
either loading or unloading
5:01
probably loading as long as they're
5:02
putting the
5:04
luggage on that could be mine
5:06
i have to reconfirm which gate mine is
5:08
but it could be mine possibility and
5:10
here's a good angle with the control
5:11
tower off there in the distance
5:14
this also is not the flight i'm on this
5:15
is not the plane i'm on
5:17
and you got the other airline spirit off
5:20
behind the united gates as well
5:23
and all the park luggage carts down here
5:26
i always do just carry-on i can't even
5:28
tell you the last time i had
5:30
luggage that went on one of these carts
5:32
and onto the blind i usually just put
5:34
one above my head i travel very light
5:36
and then my backpack underneath
5:40
underneath my seat thankfully i didn't
5:42
forget my headphones or any accessories
5:44
but if you forget like a phone charger
5:47
or some
5:48
headphones
5:49
they pretty much got everything you need
5:51
right here
5:53
in this vending machine
5:55
you even have some pure base wireless
5:57
headphones up there
5:59
sound and the ability accessories
6:02
these are active noise
6:05
reducing headphones
6:07
you know how well those work i still use
6:09
the corded ones i don't even i don't
6:11
even go with
6:12
the bluetooth
6:14
yeah i keep it i'm i'm ancient in my
6:16
thoughts on
6:17
just using something until it just
6:19
doesn't work anymore
6:20
i guess maybe when the headphones i have
6:22
break i'll finally go with ones that are
6:24
cordless style
6:26
this is kind of neat they have all these
6:28
i'm just basically wasting time until
6:30
it's on the board all right
6:31
keep wandering down to my gate gate 47
6:34
which would be between 42 and 49
6:37
obviously
6:38
straight ahead at the end
6:41
oh it looks like i'm going to be able to
6:42
document this in real time gate 47 plane
6:46
approaching this is a long one
6:54
and i did confirm i have a window seat
6:54
i got an email while
6:56
when i went on the
6:57
get my boarding pass i said they changed
6:59
seats i had to make sure
7:01
it was still positive i had a window
7:02
seat i do i think i'm on 19a
7:09
i'm gonna get this
7:09
get this turning or is this well
7:12
i could be incorrect maybe it's not
7:13
gonna do a sharp turn no it's gonna do a
7:15
sharp turn look at this gentleman down
7:22
i want to check my seat while
7:22
showing this
7:28
yeah 19a
7:28
when i went up to the desk the lady that
7:30
helped me said 19 alpha yep you have
7:33
a window seat
7:45
like this kind of utilizing this is like
7:45
a little step stool
7:47
to get up higher so the pilot can see
7:50
waving the batons
8:01
tire just went past c
8:01
now past b
8:03
will it make it all the way to a
8:06
is a the pinnacle nope b is the stopping
8:09
point
8:11
like a glove
8:15
whenever i'm doing this people are
8:15
sitting really close to me let's say i'm
8:16
just kind of
8:18
talking very lightly and kind of
8:19
whispering the canon g7x mark ii that
8:21
i'm using picks up audio really well
8:24
but they're probably wondering why is
8:25
this guy talking
8:28
to his camera like this in the fashion
8:31
my head is pressed right up against the
8:33
window
8:35
and this is gonna almost act like a
8:36
little accordion
8:38
and pull up to let those out
8:42
and waiting very patiently over here
8:45
are the
8:47
luggage
8:48
cars
9:02
i know i'm not the only one fascinated
9:02
by this whole process
9:04
so what's happening as an employee an
9:05
airline employee is
9:07
controlling this mechanism over here to
9:09
the right
9:15
in fact you can see through the window
9:15
there
9:16
steering it
9:20
right up to the door
9:30
and the food is arriving flying food
9:30
group is supplying the meal today for
9:32
the snacks
9:33
snacks
9:41
the fuel's over there and then the
9:41
luggage will come soon after
10:03
hey
10:06
glad i was standing nearby when this
10:07
arrived that was pretty cool
10:09
it is also a 767-300
10:13
for those wondering
10:44
right now they are making an
10:44
announcement for my flight number 47
10:47
but the volume is so low
10:50
right if there's a speaker
10:52
even before the other announcement
10:54
that's being set on the other side of
10:56
the
10:56
the other gate behind me
10:59
cannot understand anything
11:02
so i don't know when they're gonna i
11:04
think i'm boarding party 3.
11:12
we bought in group number three
11:12
through
11:28
it's not postponed too dramatically
11:28
and it would be nice because the
11:29
flight's only going to be well once it
11:31
once it gets airborne it's only going to
11:32
be
11:33
three hours

i'm so used to flying coast to coast
11:38
where it's like four and a half or if
11:39
you're going you know from east to west
11:41
is four and a half
11:42
from orlando to l.a
11:44
and from l.a to orlando's usually it's
11:46
five and a half because of the jet
11:47
stream
11:48
this is only gonna be like a three hour
11:57

11:57

16:49
i'll check the map and see exactly where
16:50
i'm at
16:51
right between albany georgia and georgia
17:05
i've just been looking out the window
17:05
for quite some time
17:08
all these clouds
18:06
starting the descent now just about to
18:06
go from above the clouds
18:10
to underneath the clouds by going
18:11
through the clouds about to break
18:14
through the cloud barrier
18:17
going down
18:46
i've got two windows i can look through
18:46
one just kind of over my shoulder that i
18:49
pointed out now
18:51
and then the other one kind of in front
18:52
of my face
19:05
i'm kind of curious like once they once
19:05
get below this cloud

19:15
cloud dissipates
19:29
nice
19:29
nice little sun glare on the wing
19:37
doing a hard turn
19:37
almost doing like a complete u-turn
19:40
shifting away
19:42
way on inside
19:57
there's a few baseball diamonds down
19:59
not sure what a lot of these
20:01

20:05
water tower
20:47

20:47
i've almost arrived the windy city
20:59
coming up from this angle i would have
20:59
sat on the other
21:01
wing i would have been able to probably
21:02
see downtown
21:04
we'll get in traffic
21:48
smooth landing
21:59
i know i said it already but that this
21:59

i was in the mood for some right now i
25:13
purchased some right here
25:14
i have to find out where the rental cars
25:16
are
25:17
i believe that
25:20
me going down this
25:26
less classified as
25:26
ground transport i would guess check out
25:29
the reflection on the ground
25:31
and that's what's up on the roof line
25:35
this is a very beautiful little tunnel
25:37
through here now i can walk twice as
25:39
fast because i'm walking on this
25:42
get to my destination to the rental car
25:44
area twice as quick
25:51
door 16 is now closing

26:48
this will be my rental car and
26:51
that's gonna do it for today a travel
