2:28
here usually there's a big fountain
2:30
right here in the middle this is a hotel
2:32
also by the way these are hotel rooms
2:34
and accommodations that you can book
2:37
here i guess if you have a layover
2:39
something like that but the fountain
2:41
right here in the middle is not
2:42
operational
2:46
i got to go through there it is gate 75
2:48

2:50
direction does not look too bad at all
2:52
crowd wise over there
2:54
should be should be smooth sail and i
2:56
just want to peek at this not only the
2:58
departure board which i looked at a
3:00
moment ago at the other spot but also
3:02
the arrival just to show how many
3:04
different flights oh my gosh look at
3:07
so look up here there are a lot of red
3:09
there are a lot of red flights that are
3:11
not happening look at that there's a lot
3:14
of delays oh my goodness that is
3:17
okay let me see if i can just double
3:18
check
3:19
on this and see atlanta up there
3:22

3:31
day 75 310 on time

3:40
screening process remove your shoes
3:42
belts
3:43
and everything else etc and take the
3:45
laptop out of the bag and roll it
3:46
through the little little area there i
3:49
was just overhearing a conversation with
3:51
one of the the people at the checkpoints
3:54
on to why sometimes you have to remove
3:56
your belts
3:57
and sometimes you can leave your belts
3:59
on your shoes on they said it's all
4:00
based on machine not airport so it just
4:03
depends on which
4:04
machine line you go through
4:07
usually i have to remove my belt
4:09
and my shoes and this time was no
4:11
exception
4:13
all right now i just got to head over
4:14
monorail pulling in
4:16
right over there pulling him i'll take
4:18
the monorail
4:19
over to the gate i need to go to
4:22
70 something i got to recheck
4:24

5:01
we're gonna cross over to the delta area
5:25
stops please exit for gates 70 through
5:25
99.
5:34
there is a possibility that that could
5:34
be mine right there even though my plane
5:36
probably hasn't arrived yet but
5:38
it is a possibility
5:40
and here's a look at this transportation
5:42
device before it recloses the doors and
5:44
heads back over
5:45
to pick up even more passengers who are
5:47
going to make their way over to these to
5:49
these gates
5:51
current time 15 minutes till 2 pm
5:56
boarding is at 2 30 flight departs at 3
5:58
10.
5:59
i am good
6:01
and there is not as many people in here
6:03
as i was expecting and there's even a
6:04
nathan's famous hot dog standing here
6:06
you know i'm gonna take a little bit of
6:07
a break from hot dogs for a while no hot
6:09
dogs today check out this astronaut here
6:12
with the surfboard this is promoting
6:14
cocoa beach but this astronaut is doing
6:16
a little surfing here orlando's closest
6:19
beach for those interested is coca
6:22
yeah fun fact these are my appropriate
6:24
numbers 70-79
6:27
i am looking for 75
6:30
remember to travel smart
6:33
i don't know if anyone's you know
6:35
to be honest no one is staying three
6:37
feet away anymore but at least you know
6:40
some of the guidelines
6:42
are being
6:43
people do not stay away from you people
6:45
are like right up on you it's been that
6:46
way for for months now yeah people
6:49
there's no such thing as space anymore
6:51
they are making an announcement right
6:52
now that you must wear a facial covering
6:54
so you have to have a facial covering on
6:57
however it is
6:58
mandatory
7:00
so even even not only just on the planes
7:02
but also over here near the gates
7:04
it is required when i was rolling in
7:06
over on the transportation vehicle i had
7:08
assumed that the plane i was looking at
7:10
might have been mine but it's not in
7:11
fact this one is not mine either but i
7:12
went a lot longer down into the gate
7:14
ramp
7:15
all the way to the end
7:17
and this one here is the one next to me
7:19
this could be 74 or 76 i am waiting for
7:21
number gate number 75
7:24
which this here will be what i'll be
7:26
walking down to and there is no plane
7:27
attached to it
7:28
on the other side but you can kind of
7:30
get a view here of
7:31
my neighboring plane if you will
7:34
they are loading the luggage on there
7:36
and everything at the moment
7:38
it's a lot busier over in this area by
7:40
the way a lot
7:42
busier over in this section
7:45
looking down on gate 72 you see the
7:47
pilot there in the window as another one
7:49
of the luggage carts go by and then
7:51
another plane flying off in the distance
7:53
and the control tower
7:55
up there as well
7:57
hey you look closely you could barely
7:58
see the pilot's right in there behind
8:00
that window i was kind of hoping that
8:02
maybe one of the monorails would like go
8:03
by here but it didn't happen i was gonna
8:06
wait for it and then i saw that luggage
8:07
oh wait you know what be very patient i
8:09
saw the luggage cart going by and i
8:11
thought that would that would be a good
8:12
angle to get but now here it goes there
8:14
it is right there look at that thing of
8:16
beauty just zipping by
8:19
right there gate 72. once again i'm
8:21
getting on in gate 75 but i like to just
8:23
showcase all the different gates
8:25
that's fun oh here comes one pulling in
8:27
right now
8:28
kind of get a little behind the scenes
8:30
if you will here of this one
8:33
pulling in coming in hot
8:35
very very quickly pulling up to the
8:38
station and you see the employee down
8:40
there guiding it in
8:42
got the little little light up
8:45
items it's going around the other side
8:47
again this is not my plane
8:49
this is two two gates down
8:52
but one is arriving i believe this one
8:53
is going to salt lake city utah
8:56
i'm not going to salt lake
8:57
right now going to atlanta whenever i
9:00
just roam around everyone that's waiting
9:01
to board is all always looks at me like
9:03
why is this guy going in like looking
9:05
out all the windows and documenting all
9:07
these planes arriving
9:08
i just can't i can't stand still i can't
9:10
sit still so i always be moving it's
9:11
always fascinating to me how everything
9:13
kind of works and seeing everyone do
9:14
their jobs i'm always interested in it's
9:16
pretty neat this is gate 78 this one hey
9:19
i was wrong about salt lake this is
9:20
actually going to laguardia new york and
9:23
mine is pulling into the station
9:26
i don't want to walk through this though
9:27
this would be very bad if i was to push
9:29
on that door but i can peek through the
9:31
glass there
9:32
now what happens is the employees they
9:34
are giving the signal that it's all
9:36
ready they're bringing the stanchions in
9:38
and the cone they were cones
9:40
they put it down there below the wheel
9:41
so the plane does not roll forward and
9:43
back
9:44
and then this little what do they call
9:45
this the the gangway the walkway it
9:48
extends almost like an accordion pulls
9:50
all that's a long extension
9:53
goes all the way from over here
9:55
all the way around they're rolling it
9:56
forward and what's going to happen is
9:58
when it gets close it's going to do even
10:00
more of an accordion type thing and
10:02
smush itself up against the door
10:05
itself
10:06
it's going to be very patient how this
10:07
does look
10:08
there really is a real beehive of
10:10
activities on there with all the workers
10:12
bringing the luggage carts in this
10:13
gentleman down here is waving the batons
10:15
around
10:18
look at that
10:19
okay it's moving forward
10:20
moving forward
10:22
it's going in going in it's going to the
10:23
second door the first door leads up to
10:25
the cabin where you have the captain's
10:27
chair and all that that's going to the
10:29
second door
10:31
so almost looks like
10:33
gosh is first class gonna be over to the
10:35
left side once i go in into the that's
10:38
gonna be interesting usually it's all in
10:40
the same direction but on this one it
10:42
might be separated into two
10:44
different areas if that makes any sense
10:47
okay
10:49
i'm excited i'm ready to get to atlanta
10:51
and i'm excited to get on this plane are
10:52
they making some announcement now that
10:54
there are one and a half to two hour
10:56
delays for a lot of planes now a lot of
10:58
these
10:59
passengers are exiting the plane which
11:01
i'm going to be going on once it's clean
11:03
the delays do not apply to me which is
11:05
nice but yeah that's kind of
11:07
disappointing that a lot of people here
11:09
at the airport are going to have hours
11:10
of life
11:20
they are now making the announcements
11:20
that they're about to start boarding
11:22
very very shortly especially there's a
11:24
lot of announcements happening over here
11:25
at all the different gates so it's kind
11:26
of hard to tell what exactly is being
11:29
said because they're all overshadowing
11:31
each other but i kind of get the general
11:32
idea of it i've done this before so
11:35
i can't really tell which announcement
11:36
is for me
11:37
because there's an announcement
11:39
there's an announcement from over here
11:42
as well all talking over each other but
11:44
and i'm talking too so that probably
11:46
doesn't help my brain wrap wrap around
11:48
okay a little bit better over here the
11:50
closer i walked over
11:52
okay i could hear a little better over
11:54
here i was kind of in the crosshairs of
11:55
the
11:56
two different announcements
12:04
okay the announcement of the aircraft
12:04
with two items one being a personal item
12:07
such as a purse or a reface and one bag
12:10
that you need to put in the overhead
12:12
above your seat
12:14
if you have multiple items take this
12:15
time to consolidate you will not be able
12:17
to board with more than two items
12:21
if you need to check them out you would
12:22
like to check your your back to your
12:24
final destination we can do that for you
12:25
just see us here
12:27
i like that this guy is boarding with a
12:29
legit kylo ren
12:31
lightsaber
12:33
i see you are boarding with uh
12:35
constructing a new lightsaber
13:09
yeah you do go to a section to the left
13:09
and then all all the way back to the
13:11
right this is different than american
13:13
and united does
13:15
yeah pretty neat
13:17
oh so these are the three seats on this
13:19
side and then closer up there's two
13:21
seats that are a little bit bigger so
13:22
that must be
13:23
kind of the area i'm gonna be in over
13:26
i am in 5d all right right here five
13:29
feet
13:30
oh yeah dang this is uh these seats are
13:33
seem to be a little bit bigger and seem
13:34
to be a little more bedroom than united
13:36
and american hat there's a lot of room
13:40
i don't know it just feels like there's
13:41
more room and then right over
13:48
the bag off to the here like a book on a
13:48
bookshelf okay sure that the vent can't
13:51
close yeah
13:56
we kindly ask that you step out of the
13:56
aisle to allow other customers to pass
13:57
by and take your time as quickly and
14:00
safely as possible if you're having
14:02
trouble locating a place through your
14:04
bag
14:05
yes
14:06
responsibilities have a hidden position
14:08
which prevents you from performing or
14:10
feel you might suffer
14:17
got modeling plane pulling in the side
14:17
here
14:19
pulling up to the air gate
14:22
about to start taxiing back
14:24
soon and then be on the way to atlanta
14:27
as
14:29
it's not working well you're going to
14:30
play this in a row
16:49
making a very sharp turn
17:26
they're making some announcements saying
17:28
there's going to be a
17:29
little bit of rough air a little bit of
17:31
rough weather for the first half about
17:33
the first
17:34
20 or 30 minutes
17:36
so there might not be any any beverage
17:38
service
17:40
no sodas or waters for
17:42
until the weather clears up
18:19
i heard william shatner
18:19
ever flies
18:21
first class and he looks out the
18:23
on the wing and has flashbacks of that
18:25
episode that in twilight zone
18:29
okay they have turned off the seat belt
18:31
sign
18:32
captain came over the intercom and said
18:34
weather has cleared up
18:36
above the clouds now
19:19
one thing's for sure this is a very
19:19
quick flight
19:20
i'm so used to going coast to coast
19:22
either from
19:23
west to east coast
19:24
florida to california and california
19:26
back to florida you know either
19:29
east to west or west to east and it's
19:31
usually a four and a half to a five and
19:33
a half hour flight this is only like an
19:35
hour and a half
19:36
feels like i just boarded and now we're
19:38
about to land
19:40
i'm not complaining
19:41
it's pretty dang nice
19:43
quick and simple
19:52
the thing is i could just stare out an
19:52
airplane window for hours on end
19:56
at the formulation of clouds
19:59
i find flying very fascinating
20:24
yeah for real just look at that view
20:24
it's so
20:26
awesome looking
20:27
all the clouds over there rippling
20:29
across the horizon
20:53
little turbulence coming in
20:54
the clouds
21:06
oh yeah almost there
21:06
starting the descent
21:22
and down on ground level
21:22
is the plane's shadow
21:26
following
21:27
following us
21:41
there it is over there
21:41
downtown atlanta
21:44
i'm zoomed in quite a bit but
21:46
yeah it's over here off the
21:49
over there on the horizon
22:19
over the interstate
22:20
over the freeway
23:30
a little bit of ringing there's like a
23:30
the noise is giving like a ringing noise
23:32

24:21
i know what maybe maybe i'm the only one
24:23
okay it stops
24:25
okay it went away
24:27
thankfully
24:36
oh no it's back
24:36
noise is back it almost kind of looks
24:38
like a post office vehicle
24:41
in some ways like the way it's fashioned
24:43
here comes another one
24:44
rolling in too
24:46
boy that beeping is like really
24:49
really hard to deal with

of the three first class that i've done
25:28

25:30
row this has two seats
