My first time on a plane as an unvaccinated person and the first time I've been on an airplane in a long time. I talk about how I managed to get on the plane, how much it cost me, and what it's like getting on a flight as a person who isn't vaccinated.

00:00:00.000 I love it, you love to see it, love to see it, first thing you see in the airport.
00:00:15.000 Okay, so your seat is going to be assigned to the gate just because I need to make some
00:00:22.000 booths.
00:00:23.000 Can I just get your check bag on the seat please?
00:00:28.000 Awesome.
00:00:29.000 Those clothes.
00:00:31.000 Alright, all good.
00:00:33.000 The bags made it through.
00:00:36.000 The checked bag.
00:00:38.000 And I'm glad I didn't choose Flair.
00:00:42.000 None of this content is sponsored but I thought, wow, Flair Airlines, cheap, looks affordable.
00:00:49.000 And then I made the mistake or the wise choice to search Flair Airlines on Twitter.
00:00:56.000 And there is nothing good said ever about Flair.
00:01:00.000 And essentially it sounds like they are Nazis when it comes to bags.
00:01:05.000 And I thought, that sounds like a nightmare having to get upcharged because your carry-on is slightly, not exactly, precisely fitting inside the metal size thing.
00:01:18.000 But anyway, off to the gate.
00:01:21.000 I made it through security.
00:01:23.000 I made it through security.
00:01:24.000 Ah, man.
00:01:25.000 Feels like I got robbed and then got all my stuff back.
00:01:30.000 I had a lot of electronics in my carry-on so I had to completely like unpack all the cameras and then pack them back up.
00:01:37.000 And there's people like waiting, like hurry up.
00:01:40.000 But it was good because it was a good practice of me packing and unpacking my camera bag.
00:01:46.000 So that's good.
00:01:47.000 Good practice.
00:01:48.000 Good practice.
00:01:49.000 All right.
00:01:50.000 I'm about to make it to my gate here.
00:01:51.000 Let's see.
00:01:52.000 Boom.
00:01:53.000 No, that's Flair.
00:01:54.000 That's not right.
00:01:55.000 Ooh.
00:01:56.000 Expensive headphones.
00:01:57.000 Overpriced headphones.
00:01:58.000 Getting drunk at the airport.
00:01:59.000 Classic.
00:02:00.000 What else do we got?
00:02:01.000 Overpriced neck pillows.
00:02:03.000 Interesting.
00:02:04.000 They got milkshakes, man.
00:02:17.000 They got milkshakes $8 for a milkshake.
00:02:23.000 $8 for a milkshake? 1.00

00:03:57.800 since covid um just trying to keep my voice down but uh i am unvaccinated
00:04:08.220 and i'm realizing the only reason that i'm allowed on a plane
00:04:14.920 is because of people who made sacrifices at the trucker convoy and during that time
00:04:21.560 who stood up for what was right and for what was true
00:04:23.860 and those people who allowed me to get on a plane today or helped start that movement of reversing
00:04:32.220 the mandates the people who started all that well i'm going to interview some of them now out in
00:04:37.820 alberta but also they're still dealing with court dates they're still dealing with with lawyer fees
00:04:45.640 some of them are still in jail a couple of the coots guys um so thank you to them because i'm able to 1.00
00:04:55.500 get on a flight today as a unvaccinated person um so thank you but it just goes to show how we've 1.00
00:05:04.440 a lot of people have moved on from covid which like fair but um well i can get on a plane today
00:05:10.520 because of people who are still having to pay exorbitant lawyer fees so we need to
00:05:17.900 honor these people right and we need to tell their story um but anyway we're about to take off here
