What the hell is this ridiculousness in the title: "The Greatest Flight But Bad Experiences"
Let's count the variety of things annoying Adam in this vlog:
- he's leaving Aulani which is his new favorite
- he had to get up quite early
- he's missing game 1 of the Rays' wild card series
- he hates traffic and Hawaii has traffic, more traffic than he'd thought, and he hates traffic
- he has to take a shuttle from the rental car facility to the airport
- he has to take yet another shuttle from the airport to his gates
- the flight has no wifi (great research, Adam)
- he complains about the long walk at LAX to the ground transport area
- he complains about having to take a shuttle from LAX to the Ride Share App pickup area
- he complains about Hawaiian Airlines, but first he praises how great the flights were (???), then he details the two negatives, the first being the lack of wifi but he immediately downplays that as a "it would've been nice, not that big of a deal" thing. The second is his
big issue, about the ticket for Rev. Jim (I'd love to know what old Jim had to do that he couldn't go to Hawaii with his wife and son - perhaps a big QAnon meeting?). Adam doesn't like their refund policy (again, he didn't research).
Why is he only mentioning this now, though? I think he decided to mention it because he needed a clickbait title and he was annoyed about the Rays losing and decided to lash out at whatever he could. 2 mins later he describes them as "the two little things", so the refund policy went from a big thing to a little thing in 2 mins.
- he then adds the complaint about the flight out being cancelled "for no reason", and it forced him to book another night at Universal City, and extend the rental car in LA another day, etc etc
-
and last but definitely not least, the Rays lost
You can tell whenever Adam is really, really annoyed by something because he uses the phrase, "it's all part of the experience."
Why Adam look to fly on Hawaiian Airlines? I really do think he thought it would be some sort of more authentic Hawaiian experience, or maybe he saw they had lie flat bed seats in First Class and figured he'd try that. But no wifi, all the shuttles, the cancelled flight out there, their refund policy for his ticket class, I see no compelling reason to book Hawaiian. The seats are nice but totally not needed on daytime flights lasting 5 hours.
Furthermore, why wouldn't he have researched about the wifi and the refund policy of his chosen airline? He certainly had plenty of time, he booked the tickets for him, Mom and Rev Jim back in MARCH 2023.
Adam has a lot of time to kill at the airport and he spends it all talking about the Rays and the postseason.
How much time has Adam spent in the SoCal area, and he doesn't recognize or have any idea about the Channel Islands National Park as he passes over it. He should take a trip to visit them, but that would be too interesting for him.

He then lands and tells us he'll be turning off airplane mode and he'll get the score - "Stay tuned", he says
. "In real time", he says
. Dude, it's a vlog not a livestream. We all know who won the game many hours before you published this vlog.
And here's the "
slapped in the face with a wet fish" moment for anyone that wants to enjoy Adam finding out the score, timestamped:
Again, anyone paying attention to his vlogs knows he's going to Disneyland Villas DVC. But in this video he consistently repeats that they are going to "Anaheim" and he's not renting a car because it's just a few days and they will "just be around Anaheim". Does he think he's preventing people from knowing where he's going?
Final odd observation: there is not one shot of his mom in this entire vlog. I guess she wanted a day off from filming and told David to piss off.
