by the way this is using an 80s film fun
1:55
fact
1:56
look at this
1:58
just for a moment
2:09
yeah it would have been nice
2:09
the other day
2:10
they didn't have to trek all the way up
2:12
this on foot oh i am still feeling it
2:15
i am still
2:17
feeling
2:21
all right off to the marta and then to
2:21
the airport also that really tall
2:23
escalator is very very loud i'm sure
2:25
you've probably noticed that i'm getting
2:27
on here at the peachtree center
2:29
and i will be
2:31
cruising along
2:33
the marder train with the last stop
2:35
there at the airport still have a little
2:38
bit left on my breeze card
2:40
go ahead and tap that
2:42
and then
2:43
head on through oh i can hear it i can
2:44
hear the train yeah this escalator
2:46
nowhere near
2:48
as lengthy this one's only a few feet
2:51
downward
2:53
not quite as impressive
2:55
and lengthy
2:58
okay i need to go
3:00
northbound yeah southbound right there
3:03
that's where i gotta go past five points
3:07
to the airport
3:08
now this is showing two different times
3:10
for the airport one is six minutes one
3:12
is fifteen i believe the next one that
3:13
arrives
3:14
six minutes from now it's 11 20 a.m
3:17
and while i'm on the subject of items
3:19
that make a lot of noise this fan is
3:21
down here making quite a racket however
3:23
it's nice to have a good little breeze
3:25
while waiting for the train to arrive
3:28
pulling into the station number 401
3:32
bound 4. oh that's a nice little gusty
3:35
little breeze going by there with it
3:37
when it uh when it went by
3:39
to the station
3:41
airport now goodbye downtown
3:49
a little bit of build up here on the
3:49
side of the window you can see downtown
3:51
the skyline off in the distance there
3:53
tough to see with all the foliage
3:54
in the trees maybe that there we go
3:56
there it is
3:57
and a little bit of dust and whatnot
4:00
there is a tremendous
4:02
buildup
4:03
on this window
4:18
oh yeah i hear an airplane going over
4:18
this is also the end of the line
4:22
for this train
4:23
you have to get off here
4:25
and
4:26
go to the airport it doesn't go any
4:28
farther than this this line doesn't it
4:30
just turns around and goes back the
4:32
other direction
4:42
and in order to exit you have to tap the
4:42
breeze card
4:43
to get out
4:45
as well
4:48
hey i'm in the airport now
4:50
right through here is the airport and
4:52
there's a little mural over here
4:54
dedicated to marta marta signifies all
4:57
the transportation around orlando
4:59
including buses not just trains but also
5:02
buses
5:03
oh check this out this is a scale model
5:06
if you will
5:07
of the airport itself
5:09
right over through here
5:11
look at this you can see the the
5:13
vehicles down here
5:15
going to pick up some passengers that
5:17
are arrivals departures
5:20
well you know what i'm not seeing any
5:22
sort of signage
5:23
i'm just assuming that's what this is
5:27
yeah it looks like it
5:29
if it's not
5:31
i
5:32
i'm wrong
5:34
but i think it is a little bit of a line
5:35
i mean it is it is a holiday weekend i
5:38
mean it's a sunday as of now but
5:39
tomorrow is labor day so a lot of people
5:41
traveling got the plexiglas up i feel
5:43
like i'm getting in line for space
5:44
mountain
5:45
or something with all the plexi
5:51
and all truthfulness is probably is good
5:51
that i got here a little early because
5:53
it's taking a while got rerouted down
5:55
this little side hallway there still not
5:57
too this through the screening quite yet
5:58
but getting close now i definitely
6:00
understand taking the shoes
6:02
and the belts off but what confuses me
6:05
is it just depends on whichever machine
6:07
you use
6:10
whether you're supposed to put this bag
6:12
inside a bin versus another one
6:15
in a bin but i understand the shoes
6:18
and the belts
6:19
but sometimes the sometimes your shoes
6:21
go
6:22
on the conveyor without being in a bin
6:25
and other times out of the bin and then
6:26
your laptop sometimes supposed to be in
6:29
a bin
6:30
with your belt in the back this time i
6:32
had to put this
6:33
inside
6:34
the bin
6:36
i guess it all depends on the airport
6:38
and the machine
6:39
very confusing though put my shoes back
6:41
on
6:42
i have to head over to concourse t
6:45
to where i'm heading and before i head
6:47
over there i wanted to show
6:48
these two little
6:50
little placards
6:51
two gentlemen who are responsible
6:54
oh here we go
6:56
william berry hartsfield
6:59
the namesake of this airport william b
7:01
hartsfield international airport check
7:03
that out and then follow it up with
7:05
maynard holbert jackson jr it is now
7:08
hartsville jackson atlanta international
7:11
airport
7:12
originally
7:14
william b hartsfield international
7:16
airport and now they combine the two
7:18
names that's interesting interesting
7:20
all right now i'm gonna bypass the
7:22
little checkpoint now well not bypass it
7:24
i had to go through it and go over to
7:26
concourse t i believe gate t10 is what
7:30
i'm looking for okay passing t9
7:32
going down to t10 that's the one i'm
7:34
looking for t10 and the airline i have
7:37
chosen for today is american this is not
7:41
my flight this is
7:42
gate t11 i am at gate t10
7:45
but yeah i'm flying american and i'm not
7:48
going first class i'm just going
7:50
going in kind of in the middle of the
7:51
plane i believe the the first of the two
7:54
flights i have an exit row so i should
7:55
have a little more like we have to wait
7:57
and see how that works out though now
7:58
this is my gate t10 this is not my
8:02
airline however this is not my plane
8:04
that is you can see t11 over there
8:07
which was where i just was momentarily
8:09
this one has to depart first another
8:11
plane pull in and then go down this
8:12
little walkway
8:14
i got here really early it's still
8:16
still over an hour until boarding
8:19
so an hour safe current let me actually
8:21
look at what time it is
8:23
it is 107.
8:25
my flight departs at 2 22.
8:28
so yeah i know i had to check out 11 so
8:30
had a little time time i got up here
8:32
still still plenty of time
8:34
so i'm just
8:35
kind of pacing around
8:38
waiting for time to board i am half
8:40
tempted to go for this grindhouse
8:42
burgers
8:44
so it looks looks pretty good i heard
8:46
well according to this advertisement it
8:49
is they are very they're very tasty and
8:51
very popular however i don't know if i
8:53
want to eat a something heavy before
8:55
getting on a cross-country flight so i'm
8:58
going to pass on it but yeah almost
8:59
pulled me in by peeking out the window
9:01
here you can see that that was in fact
9:04
the model i was looking at earlier same
9:06
design with the little kind of
9:08
futuristic little
9:09
little like archway there yeah so that
9:11
definitely was
9:12
the model which wouldn't make sense to
9:14
have another airport model in the
9:15
atlanta
9:16
international airport so it does make
9:18
sense but this is a confirmation
9:20
all right the vehicle that taxied out
9:23
the plane that was stationed
9:26
in t10
9:27
has pulled back into its spot backing up
9:31
making the t10
9:33
gate completely accessible now
9:36
it is 22 minutes
9:39
until it can start boarding
9:41
for my flight
9:44
there it goes
9:46
leaving the area open
9:55
i don't know the stuff's always so
9:55
fascinating oh you know what
9:56
this might be my plane pulling in here
9:59
pulling into
10:01
the stick what are the odds
10:02
if i just did one long take here where
10:05
this plane turns in
10:07
could this be this
10:08
ginormous plane
10:11
could it be is it going to make a sharp
10:12
turn
10:13
is it going to make
10:15
this sharp turn i think it is yeah
10:18
waiting for that truck to pass
10:20
they got the little batons there down
10:22
nerdy
10:23
okay
10:25
is he gonna is it gonna cut that quick
10:28
is it cutting in here
10:29
is that the plane
10:32
maybe
10:33
i think it is
10:34
we've got the luggage vehicles pulling
10:36
through here it's almost like a little
10:37
parade
10:39
it's a parade of luggage
10:42
i always just do carry on i carry a
10:44
backpack and then one that goes directly
10:46
above my head
10:47
in the seats
10:53
and look at the steam being emitted from
10:53
the back of this one
11:06
it might be tough to see it but
11:06
yeah it was like you can see the haze in
11:09
the air there from the heat being
11:11
exhumed from the back of that planet
11:13
or being admitted i should say yeah this
11:15
place is a real beehive of activity look
11:17
at all the
11:19
crisscrossing planes
11:22
very very busy airport one of the
11:24
busiest
11:25
in the us
11:27
one of the main hubs
11:29
i mean you think of
11:30
orlando new york l.a chicago
11:34
atlanta those are the first ones that
11:36
come to my mind
11:37
i might be incorrect on this oh you know
11:40
what no the wheel's turning look
11:42
look
11:44
this is it
11:45
it's a good size airliner
11:48
and i will be kind of about halfway down
11:50
like almost maybe even over the wing
11:52
i'm just
11:54
kind of speculating
11:57
i probably should check my seat number
11:58
before i got down the ramp
12:00
you call these policies
12:03
t10
12:05
the vehicle pulling into
12:08
the station
12:10
everyone behind me just kind of
12:12
whenever i do this at airports i don't i
12:14
wonder what they're thinking
12:17
there it is pulling in here
12:19
someone directly behind me talking on
12:21
their cell phone stuff
12:32
you're the engines
12:32
you can hear the roaring
12:35
of the airport
12:37
or the airliner
12:40
there's a lot of movement going on down
12:41
there
12:43
there it is now what's going to happen
12:45
next is
12:46
there it goes a little
12:49
a little well it's already kind of
12:52
already been pushed out accordion style
12:54
but they're going to move it over
12:56
the wheels are going over towards
12:59
the plane
13:00
and that's where everyone's going to
13:01
exit off of it this is pretty obvious
13:03
stuff i'm just pointing out the obvious
13:04
but fascinating
13:13
look how many look how much is happening
13:13
over here
13:18
it's a very travel one of the busiest
13:18
travel weekends of the year
13:21
or at least used to be i don't know
13:22
about this year this year is kind of a
13:24
modified year but there's still a lot of
13:25
people traveling
13:27
okay i've showed this enough we're just
13:28
making the announcements now and then
13:30
boarding will commence
13:32
it is on time which is good it was in
13:34
group number five when called and i'm
13:37
sitting in c12f
13:40
should be about in the middle and i am
13:43
i'm on an exit route
13:45
they just they just reconfirmed that as
13:46
i stand
14:06
yeah this isn't too bad the seat's kind
14:06
of tiny but i have plenty of legroom but
14:08
width-wise
14:09
the seat is tiny but plenty of legroom
14:12
stretching out here this would be
14:15
the exit row
14:16
and looking out there
14:18
they're getting all the luggage
14:20
prepared and i am
14:22
right here along the wing
14:25
right on the wing
14:27
just like william shatner was in that
14:28
twilight zone move your face mask before
14:30
placing the oxygen mask over your nose
14:32
and mouth
14:33
you must wear a face mask over your nose
14:35
and mouth and make sure it is secured
14:36
under your chin or neck during the
14:38
flight you may briefly lift or lower
14:41
your face mask while eating or drinking
14:43
please keep keep your mask on if you
14:45
want to sleep so we don't have to wake
14:46
you
14:47
now more than ever we do appreciate you
14:49
choosing american this time we ask that
14:51
you sit back for relax and enjoy our fly
14:53
back to dallas fort worth
15:27
here in about six or seven minutes from
15:27
now so we'll just stay parked here for a
15:29
few minutes uh until we go to the end of
15:30
the runway for departure this time i'd
15:32
like to plan attendance to prepare for
15:33
takeoff
16:08
oh see downtown way over there
16:08
yeah downtown where i was the last few
16:10
days off in the distance
17:47
pretty dang cool
17:47
so fascinated
17:49
how airplanes work
18:07
i always feel like i'm superman but i'm
18:07
going through the clouds i always think
18:09
of
18:10
the 70s film richard donner
18:12
classic chris reeves superman intro the
18:16
credit sequence as they're flying
18:18
through the clouds that's what i always
18:20
always pretend i'm superman
18:23
when i go through clouds like this
18:30
or maybe not pretend that that's what it
18:30
reminds me of
19:08
all right the service came down the
19:08
aisle
19:09
i asked for a dr pepper and they also
19:11
handed me some
19:12
mini pretzels
19:14
and a cup of ice
19:16
yeah a nice little treat here
19:19
a nice little
19:21
little treat with plenty
19:22
of like room look at that
19:26
that's nice
19:37
all right about to start making the
19:38
descent to land
19:43
and i gotta connect with my layover
19:44
dallas fort worth
19:45
should be going down through the clouds
19:48
very soon
19:56
a little bit of turbulence not a lot but
19:56
a little bit of turbulence
20:04
looks like it's like cotton balls
20:04
okay going into the cloud
20:07
momentarily
20:49
going almost right over downtown
20:49
take a look at that
22:12
also we ask that you keep the out clear
22:12
of all carry-on luggage this is the
22:14
termination of our flight today so
22:16
please make sure you check around your
22:17
area to make sure you have all your
22:19
personal belongings you won't be allowed
22:21
to reward the aircraft if you have
22:22
forgotten something so once again just
22:24
make sure you have everything before you
22:26
exit our aircraft doesn't look like i'm
22:27
going to have any problem making my
22:29
connecting flight still got a little
22:32
to deboard this and then
22:34
get on the other one
22:42
and there's
22:43
another following in behind there
22:49
it's always so neat to see how they
22:49
taxied them back with that little
22:50
vehicle
22:51
pushes it back out of the gate
22:54
and then the vehicle disconnects and
22:56
then the plane goes on its own business
23:02
all right i guess you could say
23:02
about halfway done
23:04
you know give or take a little bit but
23:07
it's kind of a halfway point
23:09
i gotta just you gotta do all this again
23:11
another take off and another landing
23:13
before getting to orange county
23:15
at least i can stretch my legs a little
23:17
bit though
23:18
which is nice
23:20
well i play actually i stretch my wreck
23:22
a lot because i have plenty of leg room
23:23
but i can walk around a little bit
23:26
stretch everything else
23:33
there's a little monorail looking thing
23:33
going by up there
23:36
it's called a skylink
23:48
all right now from the sea
23:48
gates i have to head over
23:50
to b
23:56
and the way to get there is
23:56
up these escalators right here got to go
23:58
up to b or over to b oh you know what i
24:01
think i'm going to be able to go on the
24:03
the transportation device
24:06
yeah this monorail see it only has one
24:08
rail down there
24:09
making it a monorail
24:12
that's cool just gotta wait for it to
24:14
wait for it to arrive and go over to b
24:18
faith coverings are required
24:21
all right i'm holding on
24:23
the train is departing
24:25
this is exciting i'm glad this worked
24:26
out but i have to transfer it over to
24:28
another
24:29
another section
24:31
yeah
25:14
going from c to b look at all these
25:14
american airline planes
25:37
all right
25:37
just to show
25:39
the route has started up here
26:31
all right looking for b5
26:31
right down here
26:38
i'm glad there are signs up because this
26:38
looks exactly the same as the one on the
26:41
other side of the airport i went up
26:44
i'm glad they're signage
26:46
going down
26:56
past the air conditioning ducts
26:56
that's b9 right there i'm looking for b5

legroom on the second one and it made
36:40
the the seat feel
36:42
