0:56
time I've ever had an Uber driver with
0:59
their mother. In the passenger seat. We

We're going to Seattle.

1:12
Seattle. You know what my favorite words
1:15
at an airport are? Robbie Retro? Yes,
1:17
sir. What What are my favorite words? I
1:19
would imagine on time. On time. You got
1:21
it. Flying friendly skies. I don't like
1:23
I don't Well, we're flying Delta. I
1:25
don't know the friendly. Oh, that was a
1:27
Yeah, that's a different uh different
1:28
company. I don't see eastern on here. Is
1:30
eastern even still a
1:33
either way. We're going to be flying in
1:35
the sky. It'll be friendly. We'll see.
1:38
And our wait time is going to be 12
1:40
minutes to get through the
1:42
security. 4:40 right now. Our flight
1:44
departs at 6:55. We got this. Plenty of
1:46
time. Plenty of time. Gate 78. It says
1:49
12 to 15 minutes. There is nobody in the
1:51
line for gate 78. This is going to be
1:54
good.
1:57
I love this airport. It's a good
1:59
airport. Do you fly a lot? How how many
2:00
times a year do you fly? A couple times
2:02
a year. I'd say every But have you ever
2:04
flown out of here? Yeah. All right. So,
2:07
you're an accomplished flyer? Not like
2:09
you, buddy. Not the diamond club. Yeah.
2:12
This is great. There's nobody in this
2:14
line. This is beautiful. Beautiful. A
2:17
grand total of about 5 minutes, 3
2:20
minutes. So, we are going I don't
2:23
remember what gate 70 something, right?
2:26
We're over in
2:34
here. Just waiting on the gate link.
2:34
So, did you get yelled at back there?
2:37
Well, they said, "Do I?" They said,
2:38
"Take So" So, I had to take the laptop
2:40
out of the bag, which I did. And then
2:42
they said, "Do you have any other big
2:44
electronics?" And I go, "Just the
2:45
laptop." Which I took out of the bag.
2:47
And they're like, "Do you have an iPad?"
2:48
I go, "No, just the laptop." They have
2:49
any other big electronics? I got know
2:51
that's it. Then it went through and
2:53
everything was fine. But they really
2:55
wanted me to have an iPad which I don't
2:57
own.
3:04
All right. The gate link arrived on the
3:04
other side. Oh, wait. We can't go in
3:05
this
3:12
way.
3:13
Wait, maybe we can't go in this gate
3:17
link.
3:22
Oh, there's another one arriving. Let's
3:22
just get this one.
3:30
Wait. Temporarily out of service. What's
3:32
going on here?
3:34
Over here, man. What's going on?
3:47
What's happening right now, Robbie?
3:47
Here we go. All right, cool. It's flying
3:48
out of service. Back in business.
3:54
Ah, best seat in the house. Right here
3:54
on the rail. Yes. All right, we're
3:57
moving. We're Seattle bound right now.
4:00
But I guess we're going to get some
4:01
coffee at the lounge. Got a little time.
4:03
Our flight does not take off till 650.
4:07
You don't have your sea legs. You got to
4:08
sit down, right? Is that why you're
4:11
sitting? Balance. You got balance. You
4:13
got to get your sea legs here.
4:15
What airline do you usually fly when you
4:18
fly? Do you just pick and choose? I'm a
4:20
Delta guy. I've been for about a year. I
4:22
like Delta a lot. Delta out of all the
4:24
airlines that I've ever flown has the
4:26
least amount of cancellations and the
4:29
delays are usually not too bad. In my
4:32
opinion, the handily.
4:43
Yes. Are you doing the Montreal spiel
4:43
from Epcot? Porfavore. Pavore. Porfore.
4:46
Poravore.
4:48
Montana.
4:55
Did I get it right? All right. It's only
4:55
It's 6 minutes to 5. Our flight doesn't
4:58
board till 6:15. Great time. We can hang
5:01
out in the lounge for like an hour. Put
5:02
out the vibe. Put out the vibe. Yeah.
5:05
Great time.
5:07
If you want an ice coffee, we can get
5:09
you one here from the actual Starbucks
5:11
store. Yeah. All right. Heading up.
5:13
There is an there's an elevator, but the
5:15
elevator was kind of full. So, we're
5:17
walking up the stairs. I'm sure the
5:19
elevator people will beat us to the top,
5:23
but some cookies in here. I just
5:25
realized they remodeled this whole
5:27
lounge since the last time I was in
5:29
here. Got the oranges over
5:35
here. This lounge has been remodeled.
5:36
They they
5:37
uh they extended it a little bit.
5:41
Nashville hot chicken salad here.
5:44
Pepperoni. All these different dips and
5:46
cheeses. Chickpeas. I uh I love
5:50
chickpeas. Mac and
5:52
cheese salad
5:54
stuff. Minestronei chicken noodle soup.
5:58
New Orleans muffaletta. Whatever that
6:02
is. This one with a little Pike Place
6:05
roast right here next to the stained
6:07
glass. It has no coloration in
6:11
it. Yeah. Try try not to eat really
6:14
before I fly. Sometimes I will, but most
6:17
of the time I try not to. Just coffee.
6:18
All right. How is it? How's the Rice
6:20
Krispie treat? Give me your review.
6:21
Great job, Delta. Who knew? Delta makes
6:25
the best Rice Krispie treats. Oh,
6:26
really? But the only way to try it is to
6:28
come into the Delta Sky Club. Okay. Have
6:31
you had a lot of Rice Krispie treats in
6:32
your day?
6:34
Um, yeah. Is this your first Rice Krisp?
6:37
Be honest. So, is this your first Rice
6:38
Krispie treat at the Delta Sky Club?
6:41
Okay. It was my first time at the Delta
6:43
Sky Club. So, anything you eat is going
6:45
to be exciting. Yeah, man. Thank you.
6:46
This is great.
6:49
They're all yours. Knock yourself out.
6:52
Oh, man.
6:54
That's a good cookie. Amazing. The best
6:56
chocolate chip cookie you ever had.
6:58
Thank you, Delta Sky Club. You see these
6:59
in a lot of the lounges, different times
7:01
around the world. You got LA time, Paris
7:05
time, Orlando, S. Paulo, Tokyo time.
7:14
That's kind of neat when you just see
7:14
the different times. Time
7:17
changes. I'm not going to have a lot of
7:19
jet lag going to Seattle. It's like 3
7:22
hour difference. 3 hours behind Florida
7:27
time. Got these little free mints down
7:30
here when you are heading out. They also
7:33
have, didn't realize they had these,
7:34
they have power outlets all over the
7:37
lounge, but they also have these
7:38
portable charger packs that you can you
7:42
can
7:43
utilize for future
7:50
reference. Flight's still on
7:51
time. Two favorite words at an airport.
7:53
On time.
8:05
Smells good.
8:05
What's it smell like? Dreams. I just
8:08
learned something new. What did they
8:09
used to have here? Yeah, there used to
8:11
be a Flynn's arcade from Tron. Yes.
8:14
Really? At the airport? At the Orlando
8:16
airport. I bet Greg would know. Greg's
8:18
game room would probably know. Uh, it
8:20
was none here. It was back at close to
8:23
the food court. Interesting. Yeah, I
8:25
learned something new.
8:28
Well, you can look at Are you googling
8:30
it right now? I can. It's going to be a
8:32
cloudy flight. Might get some good
8:39
views as we take off for Seattle. It's
8:39
like a 6 hour and 20 minute flight. Of
8:41
course, that's with the tarmac time, you
8:43
know, on the runway and all that. That's
8:45
a pretty That's like another hour
8:47
farther than it would be to go to LA cuz
8:49
we're going all the way up to the
8:50
Pacific Northwest. We're going to be on
8:53
the plane for a while.
8:55
You ready for a 6 hour and 20-minute
8:57
flight? Time to kick the tires and light
8:59
the fires. They're making the
9:01
announcements now.
9:03
Gate 78. This is gate 74.
9:07
Now on my app, it said the flight is
9:09
delayed 5 or 10 minutes, but they just
9:11
said an ontime departure. There are a
9:13
couple flights going to Atlanta here in
9:15
the same old terminal, and they are
9:18
extremely delayed. So, there must be
9:19
some bad weather going to Atlanta. We're
9:21
not going to be going that direction.
9:23
Look at those clouds right there.
9:42
There's an alarm going off. This is
9:42
getting ready to do the push
9:43
back. A little tugboat looking thing
9:46
there. The ch the Challenger 280 is what
9:48
that's called. Little Delta 280.
10:09
It's really cold over in this area. The
10:09
air is definitely on in here.
10:17
This has been uh last time last time I
10:17
was here, this was leaking. 2952 South
10:20
St. Louis. We have all together for our
10:22
passengers to please. I feel like this
10:24
is kind of an iconic carpet here.
10:28
Yeah, it's I remember seeing it in
10:30
Ernes.
10:31
Same carpet from Ernest Saves Christmas.
10:34
It's probably been here since I know the
10:36
scenes outside when Ernest gets dropped
10:38
off when the taxi drives over. He drops
10:41
off the beginning.
10:43
What do you think? It's definitely 80s
10:46
carpet. Yeah. All right, the plane at
10:49
gate 75 has
10:52
arrived. Just pulled up. Put some little
10:54
stuff on the tires
10:57
there. We're gate 78. We'll be boarding
11:01
shortly. See, we're boarding in about 10
11:06
minutes. Oh, gang ways pulling
11:16
up to let the passengers off. I just
11:16
love air travel. It's amazing how you
11:19
can go all the way across the country
11:22
from the far pretty much the farthest
11:24
point from here in the continental US
11:27
would probably be Seattle. I can't think
11:29
of anywhere else that would be farther
11:32
continental US from here to
11:35
go without, you know, leaving the
11:37
continental US.
11:39
to Miami. That's right. 5810. You're
11:41
going to Miami. Going to Miami. Not
11:43
Miami. Going to Seattle. Going to Miami.
11:46
58.
11:48
There it is. Gate 78.
11:52
655. DL
11:59
328. Departing
11:59
shortly. Sky chefs have just pulled away
12:03
either from that plane or from this one.
12:07
There's our flight.
12:09
878. Direct flight to
12:12
Seattle. They got they got it plugged in
12:15
there to juice it up or
12:21
something. I don't know what that cord
12:21
would go to.
12:28
All right, we're sitting in 5D, 5C.
12:44
We are flying on an
12:44
A321N in the safety information
12:48
here. Safe and secure.
13:04
To be honest, I don't know if I have an
13:06
A321 card.
13:09
I
13:10
might special edition
13:18
earbuds has been flying for a hundred
13:18
years.
13:20
Going to celebrate with a little small
13:22
bottle of water here.
13:33
Put their luggage. We don't want to have
13:34
to check that because that's going to
13:35
delay us even further. We are going to
13:37
be somewhat delayed going into the
13:39
Seattle Tacoma area. There is weather
13:41
between Orlando and Seattle. We are
13:44
going to have to deviate from our flight
13:45
plan a couple times to avoid those
13:47
weather storms. So once again folks, if
13:50
you can take your seats quickly, we'll
13:51
try and get out as soon as possible and
13:54
get you on your way to Seattle.
13:57
to give the aircraft ahead time to dig
14:00
through the storms to make their way
14:01
out. So that's the reason put a slight
14:04
delay on the ramp on the taxi way. Thank
14:08
you for your patience. A lot of bad
14:09
weather. So taking some time to take
14:11
off.
14:13
15 minutes we're going to be on the
14:14
tarmac due to bad weather. A quick
14:16
reminder folks, since we are here on an
14:18
active taxi way, we will be going and
14:20
stopping. So please do not leave your
14:22
seats. Stay seated with those seat belts
14:24
fastened. Once after takeoff then it's
14:27
safe. Then you'll be able to move about
14:28
the cabinet.
16:41
Seven Seas Lagoon Bay Lake
16:41
Contemporary. It's the side of the old
16:43
river country right
17:28
On behalf of Delta and our global
17:28
airline partners, we'd like to thank you
17:30
once again for helping us celebrate our
17:33
100th year of Hawaiian.
17:39
continue safety and
17:39
reminder seat belt.
17:41
620.
18:36
one. I opted out of the meal. Didn't
18:36
feel like eating any airplane food, but
18:39
I did get an apple
18:41
juice. I also got some sun chips,
18:44
another
18:47
water with
18:49
ice,
19:21
lon? That would be really good with a
19:21
hot coffee. I like being hot. You don't
19:23
like hot coffee? I will. I'll do it for
19:26
you.
19:31
I've always heard you're not supposed to
19:31
drink coffee on an airplane. I do
19:34
sometimes, but some say it's not the
19:36
best
19:39
water. But I might get
19:42
one. I'm into 30,000 ft water.
20:03
I was watching the Rays Rangers game. It
20:03
got to like the second or third inning.
20:04
It was a rain delay and now the Wi-Fi is
20:07
cut out. Currently
20:26
see what other kind of entertainment
20:26
choices they have as far as
20:43
own original
20:43
alien American beauty. There's a little
20:47
baseball angels on the outfield. Chris
21:40
Hogan? Crocodile Bundy. Was that filmed
21:40
in Florida?
21:42
I don't I don't I don't know if that was
21:44
filmed in Florida. No, that's Crocodile
21:46
Dundee. Yeah, that was Silver 96.
22:11
We can start Horizon and finish it on
22:11
the flight. All right, part two.
22:27
Got to open up these. For some reason,
22:27
my headphones don't Bluetooth
22:30
connect. So, I got to use these
22:37
things. But whenever I listen to
22:37
podcasts and the game on my phone, I
22:40
usually have these, but for some reason,
22:42
they don't connect to
22:43
that. Heat. Heat.
23:36
off. We just keep on trying to get it
23:36
eventually. So the Wi-Fi might get
23:39
reset.
23:40
So now still not working. I wonder what
23:43
the score in the game is.
24:55
right, we both just finished Back to the
24:55
Future 2 and now next
24:58
up. Let's go all in on some some
25:03
classics. Robbie Retro and I were
25:05
watching Back to the Future 2 at the
25:08
same exact
25:31
baby. Are you
25:31
ready? 3 2
25:36
1 parallel
26:19
So it looks like because of the weather
26:19
we took quite
26:21
a indirect
26:31
route. What a bad weather in the
26:31
Midwest. Look at that. It's
26:33
like nowhere near going straight across.
26:56
be on the ground in about half an hour.
26:56
Might as the flight attendants to please
26:58
prepare the cabin for arrival. Thank
27:08
5 minutes or so. For the remainder of
27:08
the flight, please stay seated with your
27:10
seat belt securely fastened. Please
27:12
start stowing all items that you have
27:14
used during the flight. Look around your
27:16
seat area, especially for those items
27:19
that you have stowed within the seat
28:35
So you put your order in the front so
28:35
it's
32:16
great. Yeah, that was a great flight.
32:16
Great flight. Awesome flight inside. I
32:20
think I watched about one of the
32:24
game in the flight. But I did check the
32:27
I checked the school baggage claim after
32:29
it was over here in Seattle. Baggage
32:31
claim is going to be number five and we
32:34
will be arriving at gate
32:41
A14. On behalf of the crew, thank you
32:41
once again for selecting Delta. It's
32:43
been our pleasure having you on board.
32:45
Have a pleasant stay in the local area
32:47
or welcome home. Thank you. Couple
32:50
reminder folks, if you are staying here,
32:52
if this is your final destination, yes,
32:54
it's hard for us to ask that if you
32:57
could kindly stay seated. We do have a
33:00
lot of tight connections here. For those
33:02
people that are going to Anchorage,
33:04
Spokane, and please, if you can let them
33:08
off first, they would appreciate it.
33:09
Alaska.
33:11
I've been to Spokane also.
34:08
clearly. Wow.
35:07
I know.
35:25
right. All right. Have made it. I asked
35:25
the pilot for a card. He did not have
35:27
any for the particular aircraft I was
35:29
on. So, didn't get a card for that one.
35:32
But I might have already have one for
35:33
that flight. I'm not really sure for
35:34
that
35:35
aircraft. Kind of unique little items.
35:38
dangling from the ceiling
35:41
here. The Seattle Beer Union is coming
35:44
soon.
35:46
It's like parts of the machine. Kind of
35:49
does. That's late. There's the Space
35:52
Needle right there. Well, it's an
35:55
artistic rendering. A small version of
35:58
it. All right. And then Seattle, the
36:03
evergreen
36:05
state. Look at these. This is There's
36:07
the Space Needle there. Here's a little
36:09
miniature Space Needle. Two for 20. What
36:12
a deal. Look at this. It's a It's a snow
36:16
globe. Look at that.
36:21
Big ferris
36:22
wheel. This is like a squid holding a
36:25
holding the Space Needle.
36:28
Like the shirt. Two for 20. You can't
36:30
beat that. Yeah, that's nice. Maybe.
36:33
Yeah,
36:35
this is like
36:36
cozy. Oh, look at this. You're a big
36:40
movie guy.
36:42
Oh, Sleepless in Seattle.
36:46
Yeah.
36:53
A nice little
36:53
artistic colorful box there.
37:11
Look at that like plane just dangling
37:11
from the roof there. There's also
37:13
another one over
37:14
here. They're doing some serious
37:16
construction in here also.
37:57
are. It is 2:00 a.m. in Florida. It's 11
37:57
p.m.
37:59
here. Rental car facility
38:02
shuttle. We got to get on this. How do
38:05
we get in there? This
38:07
way. Oh, you got to go this
38:09
way and then around the other
38:16
way. It's just like
38:25
LAX. Yeah, we're definitely not in
38:25
Florida. There's a heater above our
38:28
head right there. I don't need those
38:30
No, no, no. Ever. Definitely
38:38
not. Picking up the rental
38:38
car and going to the hotel
38:42
check-in. All right, got the
38:45
car. You go to the hotel with the exit
38:49
first. Pretty easy, pretty
39:00
They have the heater on. They did have
39:00
the heater on. We turned it off quickly.
39:03
Yeah, we both share the same sentiment
39:05
of even as cold when it's cold, do not
39:07
turn the heat on. We're not used to it.
39:10
I don't like having heat on ever. Even
39:12
when it's freezing cold. Yeah, that's
39:14
just me. I'm weird. Our buddy Kyle's the
39:17
same way. He's a no heater kind of guy.
39:19
That's right. That's why we're all
39:21
friends. That's for you, Kyle. No heat
39:23
ever.
39:25
Yeah, there's definitely some things
39:27
about this airport that I remember the
39:28
last time I was here, and this is one of
39:32
them. This little ramp that goes down,
39:35
they have it illuminated blue at night.
39:37
It's all lit up
39:42
blue. It's like a netting. It's like a
39:42
fish net. Yeah. Made out of chain link.
39:45
Yeah, that's unique.
39:54
You never been to Seattle, right? My
39:54
first time here. Yeah. Maybe you'll get
39:57
to see Ken Griffy Jr. who I've met
39:59
before, actually. You met Ken Griffy?
40:01
Yeah. He signed a baseball for me. Did
40:03
you meet his dad? No. I'd like to. Is
40:06
his dad still alive? Good question. But,
40:08
you know, they played together on the at
40:11
the same time. I know. They were the
40:12
father and son duo. Yeah.
40:16
The Griffies. And I want to say King Jr.
40:20
made an appearance on the Harrington
40:21
Henderson's TV show. Doesn't that sound
40:24
right? All right, we're over at the
40:25
hotel now. Just checking the key fob
40:26
they gave me for the rental car. I don't
40:29
know if this is going to work. This is
40:31
the key fob. It looks like it's only
40:34
half. There's no way I can lock the car.
40:37
So, probably in the morning going to
40:40
have to go change it out. Anyway,
40:44
nonetheless,
40:46
unless we can push buttons and figure it
40:49
out.
40:50
Uh, I don't feel comfortable only having
40:52
a half of a one key fob. I mean, I've
40:55
never seen like that before. Yeah. Yeah.
40:59
Find an update. Hold on a second. Maybe
41:02
maybe it will work cuz there are buttons
41:03
on the side. It's half a key fob, but
41:05
there are buttons on the side. So, maybe
41:07
we maybe it will work. And after a
41:09
arduous check-in process, we had to move
41:13
parking lots parked over here. You had
41:15
to be there. It was an experience. You
41:18
had to be there. That took a while. That
41:19
took a while. Now we're going to the
41:21
room, calling it a night. The key fob
41:22
works. We had to move the car. The key
41:25
fob works. So, I don't think I'm going
41:26
to probably go back to the rental car
41:27
company tomorrow. I think I'm just going
41:28
to keep it. Anyway, that's going to do
41:31
it for today. Thanks for watching. We're
41:33
in Seattle. See you in the next video.
