Ah, I should've know when he said he wanted to spend more time in Washington DC, and then he found himself in Baltimore, just an hour away from DC, and on a trip that is only a week long, he would
never actually go to Washington DC. Makes too much sense.
Where does he head from Baltimore? Why, SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA, of course. Sure, why not go back there again. And why not fly on a route that requires at LAYOVER, because baby Adam can't fly into LAX,
he has to fly into Burbank, he liked it so much before.
So he's once again willing to waste hours at the Baltimore airport, and more time at the Dallas airport, plus risk everything that you risk with a layover, just to avoid some inconvenience at LAX. So, so stupid. If he reads here, he's not taking my travel advice at all, that's for sure.
Adam says he travels "very light" with a backpack and luggage. Adam, people who travel "very light" do it with
one bag, buddy, one bag. A rolling suitcase and a backpack isn't traveling light, it's just not checking a bag. He always loves to let you know what hotel he stayed at as he's leaving it, and then he Ubers to the airport.
He details his TSA experience in great and then informs the audience that his flight doesn't board for another TWO HOURS AND TWENTY MINUTES
. Adam gets his coffee, and is very happy that it's so hot that the straw he stirred it with partially melted (they ran out of wooden sticks). Enjoy that, very healthy. He finds his plane, oh boy!
OCD really kicks in with the Jetway shot>shot of the plane safety card>shot of his feet stretching out in his first class seat. Disaster then strikes as the pilot announces a 1.5 hour delay and that they are keeping everyone on the plane
. Honestly, if you insist on continuing to travel like this, I hope every damn flight is canceled and/or horribly delayed. Eventually when every single flight vlog has CANCELED in the title, people will get bored and tune out, and you will be experiencing misery for nothing.
The pilot comes back suddenly and says they will leave the gate in 15 mins (?), which Adam gets a big kick out of. He says the bigger delay would cause him to miss his connecting flight to Burbank,
and his quick research indicated that "nothing was popping up" for other flights on that incredibly popular route of Dallas to Burbank, who would've thought? The plane takes off, and we get the entire takeoff and the usual endless clouds, and the shot of the first class assorted nuts, ice water, (
where he does a shot of both, then moves the camera in on the ice water LIKE THE AUDIENCE HAS NEVER SEEN ICE WATER, and then back out again to show both, THEN BACK IN ON THE ICE WATER, OMG in heaven, unbelievable, over 30 seconds of nuts and ice water). Then he shows off his meal because he believes it to be particularly healthy:
After that, it's back to the endless clouds, and he films the entire landing into Dallas, because we need to see that every time, and when he turns airplane mode off he gets the dreaded news that his evening flight from Dallas to Burbank is canceled
Bet the flights to LAX weren't canceled! Adam uses the word "horsecrap". Of course, he blames it on AA and says they suck,
and accepts no blame at all (as a narcissist never does) for his bizarre travel habits. He knows it too, because he often cites proximity to MCO as a reason for deciding to put "roots down" in Central Florida and not someplace like Gatlinburg. Airports like MCO, O'Hare, Atlanta, JFK, LAX and other
really big airports are just a different level than smaller city airports like Baltimore, Milwaukee, and smaller airports in huge cities like Burbank, John Wayne, Midway, etc.
Adam thinks his canceled flight is canceled "for no reason", because airlines cancel flights for no reason - just for fun. It really helps them, so they like to do it
. He's also upset because the plane has no gate to go to there in Dallas. He says he can't find any flights to any SoCal airports from Dallas that evening (maybe don't get stuck in Dallas at night trying to get to SoCal?)
and then says he has plans the next day in SoCal and for "the next series of days" and that if he didn't, he's probably just book something back home to Orlando. Again, thanks Captain Obvious. Why would you be going to SoCal if you didn't have plans, you goober?
Adam says after this trip he will never fly AA again. Of course, he wasn't going to anyway, he already said he chose a different airline to work with going forward, and got that airline's credit card and everything. So why would he fly AA again? Also, I can't wait until he has the same experience on his chosen airline because the problems have more to do with his travel methods and insane requirements than the airline.
He runs all over the airport trying to find an AA flight to LAX (
yeah, you love LAX now, don't you?) and seems to finally find one. He goes to that gate and says he asked "the receptionist"
if he has a window seat, and she confirmed he does (thank God, what would we do without more footage out the window?), but poor Adam has to sit with the commoners all the way in the back of the plane
. Sadly, at the last second they do give him his first class seat
.
He gets that jetway shot, shows the safety card, shows his feet (if this wasn't a severe compulsion, he'd skip it at some point), the entire takeoff, lots of random shots of Dallas city lights, then the entire approach and landing into LAX. He will just throw the kitchen sink in to extend the video and have more time to play ads for the 25-30k who do still watch. Imagine if he'd just flew direct MCO to DC, rented a car or took the train to Baltimore, then did the same back to DC, flew direct to LAX and avoided all this drama? But he "likes" Burbank airport just like he "likes" John Wayne airport - now he's got a cute little Universal Studios airport in north LA to go with his cute little Disneyland/Knotts airport in southern LA, and he'll shoot himself in the foot to use them both.
BUT, maybe not, as Adam is currently so upset that, out of nowhere,
actual reason may have dawned upon him. He was originally leaving SoCal on Wednesday, June 5th, and he was of course booked on AA out of Burbank. Now he says he will NOT fly out of Burbank and will NOT fly on AA. He also says he has to stay away from the layovers, that the layovers are "brutal". Gosh, who knew? I guess Burbank airport isn't the draw it was 12 hours ago.
He says he will stay in SoCal until Friday or Saturday now
and fly out of the dreaded LAX and fly home on an airline that is not AA (perhaps his chosen airline?). His weeklong trip has just turned into a 1.5 week trip. Why switching flights and airlines to LAX requires staying extra days, I'm not sure - perhaps last minute bookings of First Class are too expensive even for Adam The Woo? Anyway, must be nice to just extend your stay without a care in the world. I'm sure he'll come up with great content out there in SoCal for a week.
Perhaps a backlot tour of a film studio? The recap is over.
