- Dude, Ben, have you seen this video?
[2]
Casey Neistat 21 thousand dollar-- what?
[5]
There's a shower here?
[6]
- Yeah, nah, I have seen this.
[8]
It's unreal. It's the OG suite video.
[10]
Why don't you just do that?
[12]
Why don't you do a planes one?
[13]
Isn't that how Worth It works?
[14]
You just see cool shit on the internet,
[15]
and you're like, "Buzzfeed, pay for me to do that."
[19]
- Maybe, is that how this works?
[21]
- You tell me. Isn't this your show?
[23]
Wait, are we on your show right now?
[27]
- Are we?
[28]
- You know what I hate about airplane bathrooms
[30]
is the flush sound.
[32]
(imitation toilet flushing)
[33]
- Today, on Worth It Lifestyle,
[34]
we're gonna try three different airlines
[36]
at three drastically different price points
[38]
to find out which one is the most worth it at its price.
[40]
- Worth it!
[41]
I'm all about vacation, traveling,
[43]
I love it more than anything.
[45]
My least favorite part of it is the plane.
[47]
- I do have a treat for you today.
[48]
Not gonna be flying on an overbooked airline.
[50]
Isn't that crazy how that's a treat, though?
[52]
Airplane! Alex, look at the airplane.
[55]
It's gone now. It's too late. You missed it.
[58]
(jazzy music)
[61]
- My name is Jamie Perry,
[62]
I'm the Vice President of Marketing for JetBlue.
[64]
You're gonna be flying on Airbus A321 aircraft
[67]
from LAX in Los Angeles to JFK in New York.
[70]
JetBlue's been around for just over 17 years.
[72]
We were founded with the intention
[73]
of bringing humanity back to travel.
[75]
Bit more space, free Tvs, free Wi-Fi now,
[77]
snacks and beverages for customers, no overbooking,
[80]
just being a bit more human in the way we treat people.
[82]
- What happens if someone is caught joining
[85]
the Mile High Club on JetBlue Airlines?
[87]
- Well, that doesn't happen as often as you would think,
[89]
but it's something we discourage.
[91]
Have a look in the lavatory, I'm sure you'll understand
[93]
why it's not as easy as some people might think it is.
[97]
When you design the interior of aircraft,
[98]
you notice that there is very little
[100]
that you can actually change.
[101]
We have made a lot of little tweaks
[102]
to our aircraft over the years
[104]
that are designed to improve the customer experience.
[105]
It's a little thing here, a little thing there,
[107]
but it all aggregates up.
[108]
- Can you tell me about JetBlue's pricing?
[110]
- We try to be the cheapest or close to being the cheapest.
[112]
We certainly intend to offer you a far better experience
[115]
than anybody else does at a better price.
[117]
- You know what I actually want on an airline?
[119]
And this sounds kinda crazy, is a straight-jacket.
[121]
- You just wanna be like a baby swaddled up.
[123]
- Yes.
[124]
- You need a nice little pacifier.
[126]
Have someone tuck you in.
[127]
(upbeat music)
[130]
So these look brand new. It's like premium leather.
[133]
They even have like the leather padded belt.
[137]
- [Steven] They have the folding up headrest.
[140]
(moaning)
[141]
- I think I'm gonna join the Mile High Club
[143]
with this seat right here. - [Steven] No.
[144]
Your first thoughts. Go.
[147]
- It seems like I've never been on an airplane before,
[149]
but I just can't believe that I can actually do this.
[152]
- It's the things you take for granted, you know.
[154]
Also, Alex is freaking out over this guy right here.
[157]
Cup-holders.
[158]
- It's the little things that make all the difference.
[160]
- [Steven] This is truly the most leg I've ever had.
[162]
- [Ben] We're in coach.
[163]
- Buckle up, soldier. It's gonna be quite a ride.
[166]
(seatbelt clicking)
[167]
Wait, this isn't-- this is two of the same one.
[169]
(drums rolling)
[171]
Do they have my game on?
[172]
- [Ben] Yes, they do.
[173]
- [Steven] What? Usually I hate getting on planes
[176]
'cause you get disconnected from the world,
[177]
but we stayed plugged in.
[184]
Can I get cookies and Cheez-Its?
[186]
Thank you very much.
[187]
- [Flight Attendant] You're welcome.
[188]
- I'll just get Cheez-Its, please.
[189]
I asked for one, he gave me two.
[191]
That's a good guy right there.
[193]
- Doesn't get better. - Cheers.
[196]
(drum rolls)
[197]
- [Ben] Welcome to Ben's Bathroom Breakdown here at JetBlue.
[200]
Pretty close quarters, very clean.
[202]
(toilet flushing)
[205]
Clean, small, functional.
[207]
One thumb up.
[208]
Let's get the meals going here.
[210]
- I got the Soba with the Korean-style chicken.
[213]
- I got the grilled chicken with brie cheese sandwich.
[215]
The chicken is delicious, brie is delicious.
[218]
The bread could be a little bit fresher.
[220]
- This one was really good.
[224]
People are sleeping so I'm gonna whisper Flight Fact.
[226]
- I say you just let it out there.
[230]
- Did you know that when you're flying,
[234]
you actually taste things differently
[236]
than when you're on land.
[237]
Your senses are dulled when you're in the air.
[240]
- So you're saying if I ate my sandwich on land,
[242]
it wouldn't tasted impossibly better.
[245]
Maybe that's why all flight food gets a bad rap.
[247]
- So we've been flying for four hours now.
[250]
As comfortable as these seats are,
[252]
sitting in one place for this long makes me restless.
[255]
- I'm just ready to get out of this seat.
[257]
- [Flight Attendant] And those are the cabin's
[258]
fasten seatbelt sign.
[260]
- Do not like bumping.
[262]
(beeping)
[264]
- I don't mind it. What's the worst that could happen?
[266]
- [Ben] I'm ready to check this one off.
[269]
I'm in a cab on my way to surprise my family
[271]
who has no idea that I'm in New York right now.
[276]
Hi!
[282]
(child laughing)
[285]
- Apple.
[287]
Apple.
[289]
- I stole some snacks from JetBlue. Hey yo!
[292]
Wait, how's your baby?
[293]
- I don't have a baby. - Are you sure?
[294]
- I have two baby sisters,
[296]
and they really made the trip worthwhile.
[298]
- You mean worth it?
[300]
- Damn it.
[301]
- Alright, so we're on our way to Surf Air
[303]
which is our second airline.
[305]
We're going to the nice area, Santa Barbara.
[307]
- Just try not to die.
[308]
- Hey, hey, hey, stop saying that.
[310]
Alex, can you knock on Ben?
[316]
- Hi, I'm Sudhin Shahani, the Chairman and CEO of Surf Air.
[319]
We're at the Hawthorne Hanger,
[320]
and you guys are gonna be flying to Santa Barbara today.
[322]
- Oh yeah. And what is Surf Air?
[325]
- Surf Air is a membership based airline.
[327]
What that means is members pay flat monthly fee
[329]
that pay 1,950 a month,
[330]
and they get to fly unlimited on our network of flights
[333]
that go between LA, San Francisco, Tahoe, Napa,
[336]
various other California destinations.
[338]
- What is like the benefit of flying Surf Air?
[341]
- Primarily time.
[342]
It's really easy, you pull out your phone,
[343]
you book in less than 30 seconds,
[345]
You come up to 15 minutes before departure.
[347]
Our valet will take your car, you walk into the terminal,
[349]
one of our club hosts will come and greet you.
[351]
You'll board the plane--
[352]
- Wait, no security?
[353]
- Everyone's been background checked, and pre-checked before
[355]
and you're a registered member.
[357]
Very comfortable business class seat.
[358]
You're in the air two to three minutes
[360]
after the door closes.
[361]
- [Steven] Boom boom boom.
[362]
- Whole new way of flying.
[363]
- Can I bring liquids on the plane?
[365]
- You can bring liquids on the plane, yes.
[367]
- So I don't have to dump out my water bottle
[368]
before walking in?
[369]
- You don't have to dump out your water bottle before.
[371]
- That's huge. So when we get to Santa Barbara,
[373]
what should we expect?
[374]
- [Sudhin] Our concierge will greet you,
[375]
give you the keys to the Surf Air Loan-A-Car
[378]
which is a Tesla that you could use for the day.
[380]
- Yes. - Nice. I like that.
[382]
- Can I drive? Or should we have Alex drive?
[384]
- Alex, you wanna drive?
[386]
(laughing)
[387]
- [Steven] Let's go fly.
[389]
Whoo!
[390]
(luxurious music)
[393]
- Let's check out these seats.
[394]
- Here we go!
[395]
- Why would you-- - I don't like this.
[397]
I'm going back.
[398]
- If it's just us in here, this is pretty legit.
[402]
Check this out.
[404]
- Oh, help me out here.
[406]
Yeah.
[407]
- If one was to join the Mile High Club in here,
[410]
there is more than enough room to do it.
[414]
- Welcome aboard. My name's Austin.
[416]
Josh and I will be taking you
[417]
from LA to Santa Barbara today.
[419]
If you have any questions, just come let Josh or I know.
[420]
- I think I'm mostly happy about the fact
[422]
that I don't have to feel your shoulder rub up against me
[426]
this type of flight like we did last time.
[429]
- Here we go, buckle up.
[433]
I thought there was gonna be a lot more turbulence,
[435]
knock on wood, but so far, so good.
[438]
Much better recline factor than I'm used to.
[444]
This is a very comfortable seat, not gonna lie.
[446]
- Let me grab that for a second.
[448]
I wanna show you the leg room
[449]
that Alex and Ben share right now.
[451]
Way lot of space.
[453]
- And, we can have a casual meeting at the same time.
[458]
Alright, everything checks out.
[462]
The company's yours.
[466]
- I have this headset, I can use it
[468]
to communicate with the pilot.
[469]
Here we go, let us hear.
[471]
- What's up, guys?
[472]
What? Hold up, they're telling me
[473]
that I gotta go fly the plane.
[474]
- Are you serious? - Yeah, yeah, yeah.
[477]
- Do not let him fly the plane.
[479]
Many flights, especially the longer ones,
[481]
have a special compartment, known as a 'corpse cabin,'
[484]
which is built to contain people
[486]
if they die while on board.
[488]
- Promise me one thing, if I die in this flight,
[491]
you won't abandon my body in the corpse cabin.
[492]
- I'll like probably just throw you out the window.
[496]
(drums rolling)
[498]
It's time for another segment of Ben's Bathroom Breakdown.
[501]
Alright, so we're in here. It's like--
[504]
Oh my God, there's a hand.
[507]
It's like a little makeshift bathroom that folds out.
[510]
It's a nice toilet, but I'm definitely not using it.
[513]
For a plane this small, this works.
[515]
Alright, I take that back.
[517]
If Steven Lim can put his hand in
[518]
while I'm using the bathroom,
[520]
it's gotta get a thumbs down for me.
[522]
(whimsical music)
[526]
- We just landed in Santa Barbara.
[529]
And we got a hold of their Tesla.
[532]
We got Alex on the wheel, are you gonna be okay?
[536]
- So how was the flight?
[537]
- Point A, point B, done in the most efficient way possible.
[540]
It eliminated all the lines, the security, the delays.
[544]
It's been the least stressful travel experience
[546]
that I can recall. - Oh, for sure.
[548]
- I'm not leaving Santa Barbara without trying some wine
[550]
so take me to the nearest wine stop.
[552]
(whimsical music)
[555]
- Cheers. - What's the next plane?
[559]
- So we're back in New York,
[560]
we're gonna check out the most expensive airline we can find
[563]
but before that--
[565]
(imitating airplane engine noises)
[567]
Airplane Fact!
[568]
In the 1980s, the head of American Airlines removed an olive
[572]
from every salad that was served on the plane.
[574]
That saved the company 40 thousand dollars.
[576]
What could you give up in life
[577]
that would save you 40 grand a year?
[579]
- Food.
[580]
- Alright, the last airplane to see.
[581]
Singapore Airlines 24 thousand dollar double suite.
[585]
- Dude, I have-- my whole life,
[586]
I've wanted to fly in one of these crazy--
[589]
- Wait, I'll do you one better.
[590]
Singapore Airlines has given us exclusive access
[593]
to the entire aircraft, grounded for a few hours.
[598]
- We can run around like a bunch of little kids.
[600]
- And they're gonna serve us everything
[601]
that they would normally give on the airplane,
[603]
and no turbulence!
[604]
- I wonder if anyone has joined the Zero Mile High Club?
[608]
- Oh, like before takeoff.
[610]
- Yeah, I bet pilots have really put the cock in cockpit.
[613]
- Oh my gosh. - Sorry.
[615]
(luxurious classical music)
[620]
- My name's James Boyd,
[621]
I'm spokesman for the Americas with Singapore Airlines,
[624]
and today, you're gonna be checking out
[626]
Singapore Airlines exclusive double suite.
[629]
It's aboard the A380 aircraft.
[631]
It's the largest passenger aircraft.
[633]
We've developed an entirely new premium cabin.
[636]
We called it the Singapore Airlines Suite.
[638]
If you're traveling by yourself, it's a single suite,
[641]
but if you're traveling with someone,
[642]
we have something that is a first for aviation,
[646]
and that is the double suite.
[647]
We're looking at hotels,
[649]
we're looking at the travel industry as a whole,
[651]
and our goal is to reach beyond aviation
[653]
to create the world's best travel experience.
[656]
- I've been waiting a long time to try this.
[661]
- [James] The first thing you experience
[662]
is a welcome from our crew members.
[666]
- [Steven] Awesome.
[667]
Thank you.
[668]
- [Both] Ooh!
[670]
- [Steven] This one's mine?
[672]
Oh my go-- (laughing)
[675]
What am I gonna do with all that space?
[677]
- Dude, talk about leg room.
[679]
- Whoa. - Wow.
[680]
This is bigger than my dining room table at home.
[682]
- This is bigger than my TV at home.
[684]
Oh look at this!
[685]
Little cubby-hold for my feet!
[687]
- What's the reline-ability?
[689]
- [Both] Ooh!
[690]
- [Steven] What is happening to my feet?
[692]
Wait a second!
[693]
- I'm going all the way in.
[694]
- I feel like I'm being tucked in like a baby.
[697]
- Then, the presentation of amenities.
[699]
- Thank you so much.
[701]
This is cologne. Oh my God.
[702]
(Steven laughing)
[704]
Can we actually keep this?
[705]
- Yes!
[707]
- Oh yeah.
[709]
- I missed.
[710]
- We also give you a fantastic cotton jersey sleep suit.
[714]
- [Steven] Sleeper suit.
[715]
- When you're up in the sky,
[717]
and you're getting all these treats,
[718]
you're basically in heaven, like this is heaven.
[720]
Let's go change in our PJs.
[721]
- Okay, let's go.
[722]
(drums rolling)
[724]
- Ready for Ben's Bathroom Breakdown?
[726]
I'm changing my PJs.
[727]
See you on the other side.
[729]
Alright, definitely most spacious bathroom we've been in.
[731]
We've got lights, we've got paper towels,
[733]
we've got a bench?
[735]
This is a pretty fancy sink. What?
[738]
We got a good looking toilet here.
[740]
Let's test the flush.
[742]
Oh my God.
[744]
That is the quietest flush we've heard yet.
[746]
Oh wait, what?
[748]
We got a comb drawer?
[749]
First comb on Ben's Bathroom Breakdown.
[751]
It gets one, two, three thumbs of approval.
[754]
I gotta get Steven in here.
[754]
- Ooh.
[756]
Alright, gimme the camera, I'm gonna do a little bit of--
[757]
- Alright, get in your jammies.
[759]
- Jammy time.
[761]
What is this, cotton?
[762]
Wow, these are comfy. Boom!
[764]
Look at this pants.
[765]
See that? There is a piece of wood
[767]
on the drawstring to hold it together.
[769]
Now that's quality.
[770]
We get to play with the whole airplane.
[772]
Money can't buy what we're about to experience.
[774]
- [Ben] No.
[775]
- [James] Well, if you've got about 300 million dollars
[778]
at these prices, you might get one of these.
[783]
- Ooh, man!
[785]
- I wish I could go to work wearing this every day.
[788]
Can you invite me to dinner on your side?
[789]
- Yeah, let's-- join me for dinner.
[790]
- Alright.
[791]
- We like to present our passengers
[793]
with a choice of beverage,
[794]
and for many of our passengers,
[796]
that really comes down to having
[797]
that fantastic glass of champagne.
[799]
The choice of Dom Perignon or Krug Grande Cuvee.
[802]
- I've been hearing rappers talking Dom Perignon
[804]
since as far as I can remember.
[806]
I gotta try the DP.
[809]
Thank you for bringing me on this voyage.
[811]
It's been worth it so far.
[812]
- [Steven] Cheers.
[813]
(whimsical classical music)
[817]
That's like biting an alcoholic apple
[819]
picked from the vineyard.
[821]
- I would never forget about the Krug.
[825]
- Ooh, that's heaven. Yeah, that's the one right there.
[828]
That is the best champagne in the world.
[833]
(laughing)
[836]
You know what we're doing next?
[837]
We're gonna have champagne with caviar.
[839]
- Yes, we are. - Are you kidding me?
[840]
- [Ben] Caviar, champagne, Steven Lim?
[842]
What more can ask for?
[851]
I don't know any different, but that is damn good.
[857]
I didn't think it could get any better.
[858]
- I'm just going all in on this.
[859]
- Eat that whole-- wow. (laughs)
[861]
Cheers!
[862]
(ascending climatic flute notes)
[870]
Damn, that is good!
[872]
- It's fresh!
[873]
It is really fresh lobster! - Mhm!
[875]
- [Steven] And we're in an airplane!
[877]
We're in the opposite of the ocean right now.
[879]
Alex, you gotta try this, man.
[882]
That's good.
[883]
This is not airplane food.
[884]
- No, we're having like a five star hotel food right now.
[886]
We've done it.
[887]
- Food coma turned into bed time.
[890]
- Wanna take a little nap?
[892]
How do we sleep in this thing?
[893]
- Your seat transformed into a life-like bed.
[896]
Best night's sleep you've ever had 35 thousand feet.
[899]
(intense classical music)
[910]
- Whoa, dude! The bed is huge!
[913]
- It's enormous. I never thought I would be getting
[916]
into bed with you on an airplane.
[917]
- [Steven] Oh my gosh. Alright, let's just do this.
[920]
Ooh! Is that memory foam? Dude, what is happening?
[924]
Look at this space. Oh.
[926]
- Quality sheets.
[927]
- I just have to check real quick,
[929]
how easy is it to roll over to your side?
[933]
- Alright, too close for comfort.
[935]
- Wait, hold up, we can close all of these.
[936]
Like we can close the shades.
[938]
- Now, let's get private.
[939]
This is it. Good night. - Good night, world.
[942]
This has been Worth It Lifestyle: Airplane Edition.
[945]
See you in the morning. - Later.
[948]
(popping music)
[950]
- What word can you use to describe that?
[954]
- Exclusive.
[955]
We just got to do something
[956]
very few people ever get the chance to do.
[959]
24 thousand dollar airplane seat?
[961]
- That's what Worth It is. - Yeah.
[962]
- You get to play in the playground of life.
[965]
Which one is your Worth It winner?
[966]
- Every one has so many good things going for it.
[969]
Surf Air was amazing in that it's this club
[972]
where you get to pay a monthly fee,
[974]
but go all up and down the coast.
[976]
That being said, my Worth It winner
[978]
has gotta be JetBlue.

Affordable tickets, quality seats,
[982]
it allows me to fly from the west coast to the east coast,
[984]
back and forth, see my family as much as I want.
[986]
- If you need to go from here to China,
[988]
what're you gonna do?
[989]
You can't even take JetBlue.
[990]
You can't even take Surf Air there.
[991]
Just for that reason alone, I'm calling it.
[994]
Singapore Airlines is my Worth It winner, dude.
[995]
- Whoa!
[996]
24k?
[998]
- Here's the thing, okay,
[999]
I have a lot of family in Malaysia.
[1001]
The trip always sucks.
[1004]
Alex, who's your Worth It winner?
[1006]
Put my mic here for you. - [Ben] C'mon.
[1009]
- This has been awesome-- where are we right now?
[1011]
Who knows, but--
[1015]
Peace.

Can you imagine if everyday tasks,
[1018]
or like, going to the airport--
[1020]
let's say you gonna take a dump, right?
[1021]
And you gotta wait an hour and a half, go through security,
[1024]
and do all that just to take a dump, right?
[1025]
That's a problem.
