Appreciate your Pilot hubby answering the questions we have! Tell him thank you for his service in the air and answering questions here❤
We appreciate it!
My husband is a weekend pilot, and every time he sees one of your husband's videos he always says "that poor guy". But thank you for clearing up a lot of misunderstandings about flying. The scariest part of the trip is always the drive to and from the airport!
Oh yes, he absolutely does not enjoy being on camera; funny, he's so engaging and energetic when he is actually in front of people. But he sees the huge interest for this content too.
So WOW, just finished watching this. I love these types of videos…. Your husband is wonderful at explaining the answers in an easily understandable way. Many thanks to both of you for sharing your wisdom ❣️❣️❣️
Thanks so much!
I would just FLIP OUT if your hubby was our pilot in our next Orlando trip 💕, kolleen
I like these videos, it is reassuring to a slightly nervous flyer and also just very informative and interesting. Thanks Laurie and hubby Captain. 😊
I am too!
Thanks to Laurie and the Captain for another great Q&A session. Some of the issues had never even occurred to me before, e.g. 'the blue juice' Hahaha!
Our audience and viewers have the best questions!
I always thank the pilot . Thank you for answering questions captain
Thanks
Love these! Thanks to your hubby for getting us safely to our destinations during these crazy flying times… I know passengers get cranky about delays, but we appreciate getting there SAFELY more than getting there on time (I mean… both would be awesome lol 😄 )
Yes, delays are so frustrating. Thanks for watching!
I love these ask a pilot videos. So nice of your husband to do it, always learn something
Us too! They do not get alot of views, but the people who watch absolutely love them.
My husband found a travel belt at REI, webbing belt with clip plastic buckle. It looks good, and he doesn’t have to remove it going through TSA.
Love these episodes with your husband! They are so informative.✈👨✈
I am so glad.
Oh my goodness!!! This is just soooo timely!!! And very exciting to me! I love flying! My sister is a retired flight attendant but I never had this kind of "chat" with her! THANK YOU for doing this, Laurie! Fun and very INFORMATIVE!!!
I love it! Thanks.
Love these! Thanks Captain and Laurie! 💕
So glad!
I love these so much! Thank you for another very informative video.
Hello from me and Holly! My wife Holly is a Captain with Southwest out of Houston! We love your videos and tips! Always something new to learn 😊
Hi!! Thanks for watching.
Thanks to your hubby for taking the time to answer these questions! Always interesting! ✈️
You are so welcome.
Thank you Captain ♥️
Good video thank you onto the next
Thanks to you both!!❤
This was so helpful. Thank you.
LOVE these episodes!! Thank you so much for doing this. Your husband is the greatest!!❤
Glad you like them!
As another pilot wife… I have traveled all over the world with mine.. as I’m sure Laurie has… BUT remember as she says.. it’s always standby (even for the Captain’s wife lol) so I was never guaranteed a seat on his flight until last minute!!! OR you could buy a ticket just like everyone else!!! SO much harder to fly now than it used to be!!! ✈️♥️
Yes, we have bought tickets so many times this year.
Thank you to both of you. Really appreciate it.
Thank you Captain ❤
Thanks for the Q&A! Appreciate taking the time.🚝🛫😎
Yes, I have to twist his arm lol.
Adorable couple!
Many years ago we had a friend of a friend who we'd see every few months who was a pilot. He has since sadly died of cancer. He was a party animal when not flying! He always had funny stories and one time at a party he was drunk and he told me this: "I probably shouldn't tell you this, but I can't remember how many times I've woken up over the North Pole and everyone else was asleep!" (He used to fly to Asia). I decided then and there never to ask a pilot another question!!
Oh my! Yep, that would be awful to find that out.
Thanks for the info. Super interesting.
Hi there Laurie…. Can not wait to watch this😍
He is very good on the air. (No pun intended)🤭 A great team!
Ha love that!
It's so good to hear what's TRUE instead of urban myths!❤
What are some myths we can bust? Give us some questions if you think of any.
Thanks so much for this. Information is reassuring.
A much appreciated video, thankyou for all the information to put everyone's curiosity to rest. Thankyou very much ❤✈
Great information. Thanks for sharing
Love these videos, your husband is a gem. Hi from Dunedin, New Zealand and Merry Christmas 😊
Thank you! You too! And happy summer?
Those airplane restrooms are scary for me. Claustrophobic for sure. 😂😂😂😂

You truly have the best channel for travel.
I really appreciate you saying that. Thank you so much!
Thank you again for posting these videos!! I know Ive made this comment before but I hate flying even thought I do it 3-4 times a year (I love to travel) and these videos put me at ease ❤❤❤❤❤I love your packing and product videos too I watch them all!!!
Thank you so much!
Your video on turbulence changed my flying life. On my most recent trip, we experienced turbulence, and my friend, who has flown much more than I have, was afraid and I was not. My friend was sitting in the window seat and told me that she felt the aircraft "cave in," and we did experience a little "dip." The woman across from me had her head on the back of the seat in front of her. Thank you for this series!
One problem is, we could barely hear the pilot over the engine noise. Is there a way to crank up the volume in the cabin? It literally sounded like a drive through speaker. This is a complain on more than one flight.
Yes I hear ya. On some airplanes the mic system is low, and alot of them forget he says.
Thank you! You are both so lovely
Thank you too!
Thank you for your videos! I'm pretty scared to fly, but I'm using videos like yours to help me get through it. I appreciate you both!
I hope they help.
Thanks Laurie! You guys are so cute.
Thank you so much!
Thank you for these videos with your pilot husband. He is very reassuring. You do a great service providing these.
Glad you like them! Not a lot of people watch, but those who do really enjoy them.
So enjoy these videos and your honey answering all those questions. As I have told you before, his voice is very calming and he is sooo knowledgeable!! I enjoy his easy going nature and the way he explains things! I just got back from an east coast to west coast flight and yes there was turbulence and I didn't even notice it!! Thanks again!!
Yay thanks so much!
Thank you both for helping me on my recent flight. Merry Christmas from a grateful aussie. 🎄🤶🇦🇺🌹
Our pleasure!
It's funny. I was waiting on a flight to Newark from Montreal and the plane hadn't shown up yet. I saw the pilot come to the gate and look for the plane as well😂
Yep
Love a man in uniform! Thanks for the knowledge!
Any time!
I love your videos and you❤ I have a question; would packing a spongelle ( a premade bath sponge filled with soap but you need water to use) would this be counted as TSA? Could I put it in my carry on only luggage?
Thank you Captain & Laurie, I really enjoy these videos-I LOVE to fly & travel. I want to make a shout out to the airline industry: I’m a retired OR RN & we adopted the airline pre-flight checklist into our practice prior to every surgical procedure (known as Time Out) almost 20 years ago. It’s been very helpful, so thank you for that & all of this information you’re sharing with us. (I’m thrilled to know I won’t get sucked into the toilet 😂)
Ha! Thank you for all of your service btw.
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie That’s very kind of you! Thanks so much.
Hi Laurie, Great tips and love these Q and A pilot videos. ????QUESTION: Have you ever been on a flight that your husband has flown ever????
Hi, yes I was going to see my brother the day AFTER we got engaged and he got assigned that flight. He was the one talking on the speaker so I just looked at my sparkly ring while he talked lol.
Capt. Chris is terrific!! Thank you for these interviews.
I'm a white knuckle flyer because of turbulence. I find the CZcams series from psychologist Les Posen to be very helpful with my fears.
Yay, I am so glad they help!
Thank you both for your expertise in aviation. You both are so adorable!
My 21 year old son has now completed all is type rating for Envoy and has pass both check airmen flights!
? If I may ask your husband a question please…
The Captain whom he was just recently flying with told my son that he had never experienced this before, where when my son landed the plane his landing was so extremely smooth that the plane didn’t even recognize the landing so there were some sort of confusion with the plane. I don’t remember what they had to do but it wasn’t anything serious, it was just rare.
This has now happened twice!
I’m sure your Has experienced this and if so, would he explain? Maybe simplify this for me🤣..
My son has been flying since he was fifteen and he’s honestly well known for his butter smooth landings, but this seems strange to me!
He has over 2000 flying hrs. 🙏🏻✈️
Thank your husband for his thoughtful answers!
I hope they help answer airplane questions for you.
Thank you! It’s great to hear this info. from a pilot; it’s reassuring and educational. 🙂
I’m wondering if they do random drug tests for pilots, as they may do for other workers?
Hi, yes they do!
When I was 6 my older sister told me if I was on the toilet when the plane hit turbulence I would be sucked down the toilet and out of the plane. I haven’t used the toilet on a plane since and i’m 60 now 😂
I went on several flights in 2020 & 21 where noone sat in the emergency row. I was asked to move there as I travelled alone but as I already had three seats to myself I declined. Extra leg room is great as I'm tall but not being able to have a personal item bag on the floor annoys me. One flight summer 21 there were 10 of us on the flight from Spain to SW England.
Yes, and I do not like being able to recline.
@TravelTipsbyLaurie I mainly travel low cost airlines in Europe & on most you can't recline seats now.
My son is an FO for 🔺on a 757/767. When my husband asks him a question about the operation of the plane, my son goes into this lengthy explanation. It is a totally foreign language to me. Thank you for simple answers to questions!
In the first video from this series, you can see me start to plan our grocery list while he's talking. I just can't follow the long explanations lol.
hey.. 👋
im in australia... is there any planes you dont like flying?
I fell in love with Antonov 225... I believe it wasn't destroyed but the duplicate in the hanger was... shame because it was nearly ready..
im doing a drone pilot licence and theres so much we need to know like a pilot.. like the radio jargon, checking weather etc..
I could sit and watch planes take off and land all day.. I also just love the airport and people watch.. would this cause a drama with security? would they be watching me watching others?
I might have a question; I experienced once what I believe was a pressure change in the cabin, that felt like a strong pinch in the forehead/eye area. I've heard some other people have experienced that too and wanted to know how common it was, if there was any reason for this and any tips to avoid it/go through it as it can be pretty uncomfortable.
I really don’t like flying. I’m a nervous flyer and I only have to once a year. Thank you to your husband for these videos. It’s nice hearing from a seasoned pilot especially about turbulence. Hearing about the viewer whose plane dropped 8,000 ft is another thing that scares me 😬
I hope these help.
Great information! Thanks for having your husband on.
I keep waiting to see if your husband is ever my pilot. You’ve kept his employer a secret but I only fly United out of Houston and fly often to San Francisco, Philadelphia, and DC (DCA). Not sure if he flies for United or those routes but I always look for him.
We have flown with all the majors this year so often! I do not ever say for his job's sake and for safety.
Laurie, I've flown several times, even to Hawaii and back, but never used the restroom on a plane. Here comes the weird question - Could you sometime show us how to enter and exit the restroom, and even how to flush the toilet? (No, not actually use it, lol) Just show it how it works. I would like to know how it all works - just in case I do have to use one sometime. My son-in-law is a commercial airline pilot, but I'm too embarrassed to ask him. 😂
Each different type of plane m/airline has different facilities and equipment… depends on what you are flying!!!
the most complicated thing is the door latch system. there will be an occupied/open sign on the door, and if it says open (or whatever variant) you should be able to just turn or pull the latch to get in, and then there will be a handle to turn or slide to latch the door behind you. every plane I've used the lavatory on has had the flush control prominently marked. they've done their best to make it not confusing, so remind yourself it is just your anxieties talking, and you can handle it.
I did make a short about it a few months back. The key is to read the sign by the door knob. You slide the button one way or the other to open and then it has an arrow for which way you slide it to lock it when you are on the inside.
@@kenbrown2808 Thank you so much!
That door is a struggle for me 🫠😵💫@@kenbrown2808
Shock doesn’t start a heart. It stops an arrhythmia (shaking heart).
❤❤
I have a question for him. I noticed my upcoming flight to Seoul from Atlanta Flies up into Canada and Alaska and back down to Seoul. But on the way back flies more of a straight path. Less curved. I understand the going why, but why not on way back
Hmmmm. Seems she won't answer you lol.
@@Gatorfanforlife😅
How can you tell where you are in thick clouds?
They never fly by sight. It’s all done with GPS and instruments. Only tiny plane pilots use visual references to fly the plane.
I will add that to the next list of questions too. Thanks!
New question - as a flight begins to descend, why does it seem like we speed up then slow down as we approach the airport? Is this automatic, or were we not going fast enough before? 😂
Added; coming out in a few weeks.
He wears a United Uniform… so he is a United Airlines Pilot ….
I don't ever say who he flies for just for his safety and mine and so I can talk about all of them.
Pilot Husband, am I a fool, because each time I enter the air, I pity my pre20th century ancestors who only dreamed of flying? I used to fly a lot during graduate school, but every time we flew over towns and fields, I felt like I was cheating nature, even when a baby was crying near my head.
Huh?
@@TravelTipsbyLaurie How long does it seem to take most people to no longer be impressed with flying? Historically, flying is pretty weird, but people seem to get used to anything.
Yes, it is a phenomenon that has become normal. @@toddboothbee1361
Love this topic.. I’ll traveling more relaxed. Thank you so much for explanations
I enjoy your husband giving us answers to interesting questions I’ve always wondered about. Safe travels 💕
Thank you!
