Today, we have a 16-hour long flight
from San Francisco to somewhere across the world.
Keep watching to find out where.
- Take the bags down to the end of the counter
where it says Bag Track,
and then Security will just be right around the corner.
Safe travels today. - Thank you so much.
Have a great day. My pleasure.
This in itself is already among the longest flights we've ever taken.
But there's a catch...
We need to get to San Francisco.
- And where are we right now?
Ta-ran-ta-ran!
- Orlando.
So we have to fly six hours until San Francisco,
and then catch the 16-hour long flight.
- And we're going to be flying for 22 hours.
- Really? - 22.
- Only now you realized?
Is there another catch?
- It's all Economy.
- Who booked that flight? - Not me.
[laughs]
We're actually flying with airmiles and we got a great deal.
Keep watching, as we're going to share all the details.
This will be our longest travel day ever,
and we'll use all the tricks we learned over the years
years to survive long hauls.
[music]
If you ever fly out of Orlando,
arrive early at the airport,
because lines here are huge.
[music]
Now, there's a good thing.
Thanks to our status with United, we can access their lounge.
Lounge
- That's it?
- Well, lounges in the U.S. are not like lounges
in Asia or the Middle East, huh?
Is that all?
- Yes, for now. I don't need a lot before the flight.
- Yeah, it shows.
[music]
Hmm, you're getting creative there.
- Yeah.
I heard that somebody would not eat today.
- 16 hours... - 22!
Hello? - Yeah.
- 16-hour flight is up there
with some of the longest flights there are.
- The longest being 19 hours, right?
Almost 19.
- New York to Singapore, 19!
I'm glad it's not us.
- Oh, I'm glad we're just 16. - Only 16.
Explain to people why you avoid eating when you're flying.
Well, I'm going to be sitting for like 20, 22 hours
in a small chair.
I don't like to be full in a small chair.
- I think you don't want to go to the bathroom. [laughs]
- But don't you get hungry?
- They provide lots of food. - Lots of...
- Too much. - Lots of food? Come on.
- Make sure you wait for the long flight to sleep.
- I will try. You know me, huh?
You want to sleep on the long flight.
- Okay, I'll be sleeping in like two seconds, I think.
- Ready? - I don't know.
- Who would? - Maybe you.
[music]
Guess what? We're flying separate,
at least in this first one.
He's gonna miss me.
- But I'm right behind you. - Yeah. [laughs]
You're right here? You're still gonna miss me.
Nice that we got a monitor right here.
The seat, obviously, not very spacious.
Okay, I'm all settled.
Compression socks, almost forgot to put them on.
This is supposed to help your circulation.
I see you standing. - 22 hours of sitting,
I get it in now.
I think you have hopes of sitting next to me.
[laughs]
[music]
Do you know what's the advantage of having me sitting in front of you?
I'm not gonna lower my seat,
so that you can have more space.
[laughs]
- Anything to drink?
- Just water, please. No ice. - Water, sure.
- Thank you so much. - All right.
[music]
Two hours into the flight,
20 more to go.
[music]
- Welcome to San Francisco.
Local time is 9:15 p.m.
Please stay comfortably seated until the seat belt sign is off.
I have two comments about this flight.
You're doing like everything you tell me not to do.
- What?
- You told me not to sleep,
when I look at you, you...
[laughs]
You told me not to eat because you wouldn't eat.
When I look at you, you're repeating like three times
over in the lounge.
- No, no, no, no, no. I didn't eat.
- Oh!
- I haven't eaten yet.
But you ate at the lounge. - Yeah.
- Three plates, not just one. - Yeah.
- Did you have a good flight? - Yeah.
Now, the second thing I have to say...
I asked to switch seats with the lady sitting next to Gordon,
and she said, "No, I'd rather be here."
I had an aisle seat.
People sitting in the middle, they normally want to switch.
"No, I want to stay here."
And by the way, we didn't pick those seats,
because we wanted more space,
that's what was left, we had no choice.
We're flying with airmiles.
All of a sudden, when I look back,
she was like this.
[laughs]
Now, I see why.
Do I have some competition here?
- Yes, yes, competition. Be careful.
- Can you hear the noise? - Can you hear the noise?
Returning from Qatar in the domestic leg here in the U.S.,
I checked this bag and...
they broke the wheels.
Yeah! My bag made it.
Me, my suitcase.
We're in the same city.
I'm so happy that my bag made it to San Francisco, at least.
I got a tracker in my bag after what happened to Gordon's bag in Qatar.
- No bags, they didn't make it.
- The same thing also happened to me before.
Two weeks without seeing my bag.
Now, I want to know.
I got an AirTag.
Any idea where we're going?
- Can't be Europe, we crossed North America...
- ...towards the Pacific.
- How much did we pay for these flights?
- Oh, you have to watch our video,
all the way to the end to figure it out.
- Is this a clickbait?
- What do you mean clickbait?
- Are you clickbaiting? - No.
- It was not in the thumbnail, huh? - No.
- Last minute work? - Last minute plan.
- Hope it's not change of plans.
- I go, you don't.
- Oh, come on, come on.
- They said they don't have any room for you in...
- Oh, you said where we're going?
- Don't use it then. Cut.
Group 1, you're welcome...
No time for the lounge here.
Already boarding the next flight.
A little better than I expected, actually.
A little bit more spacious.
- Welcome aboard.
A pleasure to have you flying with us this evening.
- This is so unique.
Look at this.
First time that I see pillows like this
Look... Ah!
Did you know...
you lose a day on this flight. - On this flight?
- Yeah, but we'll get it back. - Oh, maybe.
- Seriously, we leave here on Monday,
and we get there on Wednesday.
Tuesday is gone.
...And to inform you that our flying time this evening
will be 14 hours and 51 minutes.
- It's not 16 hours anymore.
- No, it's now only 15.
- What to expect on today's flight?
- Meal service, lights out,
there's a snack, then lights on,
another meal service, and then we arrive.
Now, for this flight, we made a bet
that the middle seat would be empty.
And yes, it is!
- Usually, I play these video games, but there's no control.
This game requires a controller.
Where is it? Where?
[music]
- Thank you.
One of the few times I've seen in the Americas
that the option is not chicken or pasta.
This time it was chicken or vegetables.
I went with chicken
and Gordon with the vegetables.
Butter chicken.
Indian.
Yeah, this is Indian food.
And it's really good.
[music]
Soon after dinner, I fell asleep,
only to wake up like this.
- Food.
Food.
There's food. Food!
I don't know if I wanted to wake up just to eat.
This is a snack in the middle of the flight.
It might be ham and cheese.
[music]
I slept most of the flight.
Woke up and we're almost there.
- And I have hardly slept.
First time that I see a side mirror in Economy.
Look at this.
Oh, my God, look at my sleepy face.
Things are going pretty well.
It certainly helped to have one empty seat in between us
because we can stand, and go for a walk
whenever we want without disturbing anybody.
Gordon never does that.
He only just stays in his seat the whole time,
not to disturb anyone.
But this time, it is perfect.
I'm rested, and now we just have two more hours to go.
We'll soon get breakfast.
[music]
Eggs, too?
[music]
Not bad.
Here we are.
Australia.
- My pleasure to welcome you to Melbourne International Airport
with local time is just coming up on 10 a.m.
Thank you for flying with us today.
We'd like to wish you a pleasant stay here in Melbourne
or wherever your travels may take you today.
- Bye, thank you. - Bye, thank you.
- Happy birthday. - Thank you so much.
Bye-bye.
[music]
We're in Australia for the first time.
It is so exciting.
We're starting here in Melbourne.
The arrival here was a little busy.
Let's put it this way.
A lot of people! They have machines to speed up
the customs process with certain passports
but it didn't work with us.
So we had to go through the whole entire line
and it took a while, an hour and a half,
you know, just to get out.
Whoo! Let's go to the hotel now.
Melbourne City.
Okay.
- Return... pick a time - 11:33?
- Yeah, we can rush.
- Two, return.
Okay, it's easy. Look at that.
The cheapest way to get to Melbourne City.
It was AU$ 34 for a return ticket.
Good deal, I think.
- Okay, folks, welcome aboard our Melbourne Southern Cross service.
Our journey time today is about 30 minutes.
This is how much an Uber would cost to the same destination.
[music]
- So convenient, huh?
- Yeah. - So convenient.
- So good. And there's Wi-Fi in the bus.
- Come here. Come a little bit closer.
And look, you can find your hotel right here.
- [laughs] Okay. - Yeah, if you're totally lost.
And the signage is amazing over here.
It's impossible to get lost or don't find it.
Look at that, they even have lockers
if you want to leave your luggage over here.
This is actually a main train station,
Southern Cross Station.
And it's all integrated with the metropolitan and the regional trains.
But our hotel was within walking distance.
[music]
We made it. We survived!
- Of course!
- It is not that bad, come on!
- Oh, no.
It was only 16 hours bad.
-Wow, you're so sweaty.
- This is the first day.
So what did you do for 16 hours?
- Ah... - Because I slept, you know.
I don't know what you did.
- I think I watched 4 international movies, ate a little,
and a little bit of this.
- You're tired?
- When I hit five o'clock today,
I'll probably go to bed. - [laughs]
In this trip we're going to cover not only Melbourne,
but various cities in Australia, and New Zealand.
So make sure you come with us.
The trip from Orlando to Melbourne cost 42,300 airmiles.
Would you do it again? - I have to.
- [laughs]
- I have to get back home.
I guess I will be doing it.
