Transcripts
there is a seat on an airplane called an
A380 that literally comes with a living
room a private bathroom a private
bedroom and a personal flight attendant
now I have no business flying in that
seat it only exists on one airplane in
the entire world however I owe my friend
Isaac a favor his brother David lives
across the world in Singapore and they
haven't seen each other in 10 years
Isaac asked me to deliver David a letter
and his favorite seral from the US all
the way to his brother in Singapore but
if there's one thing I know going on
this adventure of writing in every
single class on the most expensive
airline in the world would be insane but
the only way that's going to happen is
if I could fot the bill on a
sponsor thank you Shopify I packed my
bags made my way to the airport and
boarded my first connecting flight to
Singapore on my way to my seat I did
pass through business class I'm not sure
how you can even call this a seat I also
passed through basic plus look at that
leg room that's going to be fun and
finally made it to my first seat of the
video basic
[Music]
so on this first flight we are going to
be flying from JFK to Abu Dhabi which is
nearly a 13-hour flight I'm most likely
going to be doing a lot of voice over
because I'm socially awkward I passed
the time by measuring our leg room 4 in
by the way and also just by staring out
the window until our first meal arrived
about an hour and 15 minutes into the
flight all right lunch is served here's
what we got a water bottle bottled at
the source a bread roll covered in a
nice layer of plastic chicken and rice
veggies strawberry cheese cake and the
nectar of the Gods Sprite this looks
really good I'm excited how the chicken
you tried
it that's Betty she didn't hear me she
wouldn't ignore me we're actually
friends she's my basic buddy silverware
I don't think I've ever touched
silverware on a plane before this is
crazy this is like first class treatment
in basic I spent the next few minutes
absolutely housing this meal I mean this
is hands down the best meal I have ever
had on an airplane this food is so good
surely after finishing I found myself in
desperate need for the bathroom which is
a great opportunity for a tour greetings
from the basic bathroom for pretty
pretty basic yeah we've got a sink the
tile is nice oh it's not actually tile
the toilet is it's definitely a toilet
the flush button got some use but that's
that's a good thing it's doing its job
well overall pretty fun in here uh gets
the job
done at this point we're flying over the
middle of the ocean and it's late I
tried turning on a ligh but accidentally
flashbanged Betty so just bear with me
with the lighting greetings I will say
that so far the service has been
incredible just a bit ago I was in the
bathroom so I missed the coffee delivery
I asked the flight attendant for a
coffee she brought me a cappuccino and
Oreos this is my first time eating an
Oreo suspended 35,000 ft in the air it
felt amazing I drank my cappuccino it
was also delicious I feel like I'm In
First Class I do I am so excited to go
to Singapore I remember when I was in
like 8th grade and we had a text book
that said Singapore is one of the nicest
countries in the world and ever since
then I have dreamed of going but I did
not think I would be going to deliver a
40-year-old man cereal regardless it's
happening I'm going to do some work and
I will catch up with you soon at this
point I crack over open a bag of Cherry
Berry ropes reclin my seat and open up
my laptop for some top secret work I'm
working on my computer I'm a hard worker
a few hours later we got to watch the
most mesmerizing Sunrise ever so I asked
Betty to take a video of it she did a
great job it's recording right so pretty
it's so hard to capture it right I know
right really doesn't do jce yeah exactly
now that the sun is up that means it's
time for breakfast the basic plus
section gets served first which means by
default Betty and I get served last we
are in the last row after all but that
just means I have more time to play
Angry Birds and watch trolls at the same
time hi guys chicken Woods rice or
coconut curry how with the chicken
chicken it's very nice it's like a
burrito bowl how yummy with guacamole
you got nice yeah thank you guess what's
for breakfast chicken and rice again I
watched this person play Angry Birds
while I ate and then decided to
interview the flight attendants because
they have been amazing why are you guys
so motivated to give such a good service
we love our gufts so we always give our
best okay what's your name I'm Shante
where are you from South Africa really
me and her and her how are you so my
name is Joselyn and the reason why I
give good service is because I love
people I love socializing with the
people and I love ety H you got this
Ryan we have arrived to Abu Dhabi I was
mildly concerned about my cereal coming
into a new country but I got through
with E I would be celebrating right now
but I thought it was probably unwise to
celebrate before my cereal gets through
customs in Singapore regardless this
airport is awesome
wow hey this airport is insane it's
honestly pretty comforting maybe because
there's a Texas Chicken directly behind
me flight number one complete for the
cheapest seat on the flight that was a
great experience if it only gets better
from here I don't know how I'm going to
behave myself sorry for saying that it's
weird weird thing to say if it sounds
like I'm SL my words it's because it's
3:00 a.m. in the US and since my next
flight to Singapore is in 10 hours I'm
going to go to sleep and keep this
cereal safe I hope it's still in here it
should be okay let's go to a
[Music]
hotel I got to find a better way to get
these
shots very nice this is literally in the
airport I'm going to go to
sleep good morning it's night time I got
out of bed took a shower and got ready
to board my flight to Singapore I'm
honestly just excited to fly on this
Airline again especially because the
cereal is still
[Music]
safe I have arrived to my basic plus
seat I cannot tell you how uncomfortable
I am right now to be filming this but I
will say I paid extra for this seat and
it shows look at this leg room I can't
wait to measure that later also my seat
buddy moved right over to the left
because there was an available seat
which means this is basically first
class look at this Elbow Room so the
next stop is Singapore let's see what
it's like to live the basic plus life
all right I'm going to stop recording I
can literally smell business class from
here it smells like luxury they have lay
down seats I'm feeling a little fomo but
honestly I'm just ready for this thing
to take oh we yeah we took off okay
let's go to
Singapore as I got situated I realized
most people are already asleep on this
plane if you're looking for leg room
sorry I took it all 23 in it's crazy
anyways I got a tin I have arrived to
the basic plus bathroom it was fun to
see everybody who's flying on the plane
with me but it was a long walk this
bathroom isn't so different from the
last one we've still got this beautiful
tile that is not tile the toilet does in
fact flush I tested
[Music]
it there is soap a sink trash can all
kinds of paper products that you may
need and if you're a baby a place to sit
I'm having a great time however I am
currently experiencing a little bit of
turbulence on this
plane so I'm going to go back to my seat
just as I was walking out of the
bathroom I saw the flight attendant
getting our dinner orders let's hope for
some chicken and rice eat I have chicken
with bani I have fish with rice and
vegetarian pasta can I do the chicken
with rice awesome thank you yummy thank
you all right dinner is served look at
that we've got the good life bread not
sure what that means some vegetables a
specialty Eddie hod beverage it's
Coca-Cola that's what it is natural
drinking water chicken and rice which
looks delicious this actually looks so
good and dessert maybe banana pudding I
love banana pudding it is literally
midnight this is the fanciest meal I've
ever eaten at midnight all of a sudden
I'm kind of panicking because I haven't
looked inside my luggage since I left to
check if the cereal is really in the Box
I don't know why it wouldn't be I just
really want to get David this cereal
also just realized I have a hole in my
shirt so that's awesome please excuse me
while I devour this
meal that meal was so good and now that
I have a full belly I decided deed to do
a bit more work on my secret project top
secret once again I found myself with
Oreos and other snacks I'm just blown
away by the generosity of these flight
attendants okay and as the sun was
beginning to rise I decided to see what
the flight attendants for basic plus had
to say guys we're almost in Singapore
I'm here with Michaela Hi how are you
she was my flight attendant today where
are you from South Africa that's so fun
my last flight attendants were from
South Africa too they were great right
they were great I love South Africa can
I tell you why I'm going to Singapore
I'm going to give a man cereal it's
normal it's crazy it's normal that's
true you got this Ryan yes you got this
Ryan just the fuel I needed I feel
Unstoppable I'm sitting in my seat and
I'm just so ready to land okay we landed
all right as I was getting off the plane
the flight attendant invited me to meet
the pilot I don't know what's happening
but the captain is taking me with him
all the way to the front of the plane
have you been in a flight B before never
then go ahead now I can really say I've
sat at every uh seat on this Airline
yeah that's so cool thank you so much
your job I said goodbye to the team and
got off the plane with no doubt in my
mind that's when I saw something that
made me want to puke Customs every
country has different policies for what
you can and can't bring into the country
and in terms of categories food is one
of the most regulated items let's see if
this seral gets through for uh
Customs for like
food oh okay all right thank
you I thought it'd be cool to get an
ominous video of me looking out at this
crazy view I've always seen this Airport
photos but now I'm actually here figured
I might as well get a video in front of
it just for the record that flight was
awesome the leg room was fantastic the
food was so good the flight attendant
were amazing and I made it to Singapore
and guess what I've got the cereal with
me I cannot tell you how relieved I was
when I opened my suitcase and it was
actually in the Box I also have David's
letter from Isaac a so cute Brothers
love each
other so I'm not meeting up with David
for a little while and I'm actually
really tired cuz it's like midnight in
America so I think I might take a nap
good morning it's not morning I slept
for 1 hour if you also find sleep pods
capsule hotels really interesting the
yotel air in Singapore it's fire it's a
good one anyways I've got a cereal box
to deliver I really want to make it look
like I'm actually on an epic mission
that matters so I think I'm going to
make the next few Clips like a dramatic
cinematic
sequence we'll probably start right now
in a world where two brothers live in
separate countries does this feel epic I
don't know can you guys just comment
while R now is epic there's only one man
equipped to unite them it's me Ryan yeah
so uh I got a taxi to David's place and
met him this this is the end of the
sequence I hope it was good nice to meet
you David oh this is so sick David I
flew all the way here because of what's
in this box all right I'm ready to see
it okay all right you want to close your
eyes three 2
one oh crack not brand dude yes this is
a great great gift this we used to get
this every Christmas morning but yeah we
just all love this stuff thank you Isaac
budy this is so good David poured us
both a bowl of crackl and oat brand and
we enjoyed a nostalgic meal together in
Singapore and that's when I gave him
Isaac's letter Dave since he moved
across the world I know it's difficult
for you to come home regularly what's
probably even harder though is that you
have to go without some of the best food
America has to offer specifically the
kind that mom used to give us with our
stockings every Christmas I hope this
box of crackling oand brings you back to
those lovely childhood memories eat it
slowly because like all the best things
in life we don't fully understand how
good things are until they're gone miss
you brother Isaac now Isaac has no idea
about this part but David's got a favor
to ask as well deliver a letter back to
Isaac and give him a Singaporean snack
straight from David's Pantry there's
only one man for the job it's me I put
it in my luggage and yeah I'll bring it
back to him all right my job is only
halfway done I delivered the cereal and
now I've got something to deliver to
Isaac Mission Part Two has begun I'm on
my way
America after that I had a few hours
before my return flight home David took
me around Singapore it's a beautiful
place this is just so crazy like I said
I remember looking at Singapore in my
textbooks in school and I always dreamed
of coming here and I got to say it did
not disappoint except for the fruit that
I tried it was it was uh unique I didn't
I didn't really like it David got a kick
out of that eventually I headed back to
the airport and prepared for my business
class seat it comes with a private
airport lounge lots of food and drinks
but my flight was boarding so I headed
to the gate hello
[Music]
s welcome to business class I already
took my shoes off and I don't even feel
weird about it they give you free
slippers also I was served this red
juice almost instantly it's watermelon
juice guys I had so much fun in
Singapore David is the best the only
problem is I didn't really sleep I got
like 1 hour of sleep at yotel air and
that was pretty much my sleep for the
night this flight that I'm on right now
is once again an overnight flight and
I'm pretty sure that my seat reclines
all the way down like I could lay flat
but I don't want to sleep because I
don't want to miss out on any of the
cool stuff you get in business class
what's on the menu business yeah we're
not in basic anymore here's a quick list
of things that come with the seat a
pillow quite comfortable I will say
slippers I already put them on why am I
doing this with my feet I don't know but
I'm in business class a fancy blanket
this baggie which comes with a face mask
earplugs lotion lip balm face mist and
toothbrush and toothpaste another pillow
perhaps to cuddle I am tempted to sleep
but I'm also scared to miss out on any
cool stuff that they would bring me so
guess who's staying
awake as the flight is taking off I've
developed a plan to not fall asleep in
which I will be very strict about not
even closing my eyes to
Blink I fell asleep for 4 hours oh my
goodness I don't even remember extending
my seat into a bed but here I am one
thing is for sure this is the most
comfortable airplane seat I've ever had
I'm not proud of it I'm not on one end I
missed out on 4 hours of business class
