Congratulations to my home of Tampa finally making an appearance in one of Noel's videos. I recognized the condo tower in the background-that's 915 Apartments.
Noel-you should do a flight out of Tampa one of these days. Our portfolio of international flights while not huge is steadily growing. Perhaps you can review Discover airlines-I don't think I've seen you do them or Edelweiss and both of them fly out of TPA. Also-TPA is one of the nation's best airports over the course of multiple professional reviews. It's worth traveling from here at least once.

i could have told you, before you even started filming, what Amtrak was going to be like. I ride the Acela every week and it is a constant source of raised hopes and crushing disappointment. If it didn't save me a 4 hour car drive each way on my Monday i wouldn't take it. That being said, for the most part the 1st Class car attendants on my Acela's are super. The food is sooooo hit or miss. usually more miss than hit but occasionally they come at me with a meal that is pretty good.

Haha I do enjoy the bring Rach to work videos: ) Quote of the video by Rach in response to you building up the Bestest Uber booking Ok bahahahaha You softy Noel great to see Rachel looking so well and happy! Totally awesome video again Noel thoroughly enjoyed it! Pretty shocking that Amtrack was on par with those scary dingy hotels you stayed in. Lucky you didn't pull out the ultraviolet light! All the best to Rach and the kids.

Thank you Mr (& Mrs) 'Noel' for sending me down a dark rabbit warren of 'when is a seat a seat, and when is it a room. Presumably, some people could cough lay claim to having been conceived on the Amtrack, whereas presumably such claim could not be held for Qatar Qsuites Legally, is it having a lockable door Have I unfathomed the mystery behind the gap in business class privacy screens

Noel, would love to buy you a beer/coffee if I ever see you out and about in the Houston suburbs. Amtrak is a disgrace. Its more expensive than flying and it's gross. The problem is a, the government gave up passenger rails long ago and b. Won't let private companies build new railways and trains. If wee and high speed trains in the USA for less than flying, it would be amazing
reply

I don't normally comment on your videos, but today, I have to. why set up a challenge and then quit halfway through it. You were negative about Amtrak from the very start(even Rachel said, give it a chance. I know Aktrak were dirt but at least complete the journey. To make things worse, the pombosaty of going to the Waldorf hotel and flying first class. shame.

All the Indians should watch this. What multi thousand USD 1st class train in America looks like. Not because it's something to inspire, but to be proud of our own Indian trains. The average Rajdhani train is faaaaar better than this crappy train. Indians should learn to take pride in their own infra, than feel all things western are good.

I used to do Redbus a lot before they got the station. The seats are a definitely a lot bigger than Greyhound (well last time I traveled with them. Only reason I haven't used them as much is I haven't traveled as much down south (I live in Orlando area) and was used to it only going to Miami. It has expanded and I need to check it out again

A year ago to the day I travelled from New York to Chicago with Amtrak. I was upgraded’ to the same room, it was rubbish. Not nearly as filthy as Noel’s but still a mess. I then transferred to the service from Chicago to Seattle which was much better. Not exactly luxurious but an agreeable way to spend a couple of days.
reply

Do they use Polaris lie flat seats on a 2-hour domestic flight between IAD or DCA and ORD (21: 03) They tend to use mostly A319, A320, and 737 equipment between DCA/IAD and ORD. They might use a 757-200 between IAD and ORD, and there very well might be different equipment during different times of the year.

if you want proper luxury train without dirty marks - try UK ones - you should try the night train from euston or paddagtion to either scotland or cornwall both should be like luxury train
however if you want proper luxury one try Austrila with rachel - its would be good idea

reply

Noel - you should look into the 'Cafe Lafayette' dinner train in New Hampshire - it's a form of 'luxury' train time where you're taken through the mountains of NH for a multi-course dinner service, a delightful little experience that you and Rach would like, I think! :D
reply

What Ive learned from these travel videos Amtrak east of Chicago, meh West of Chicago also meh but slightly nicer and with better food.
Why won’t Amtrak entertain the notion of getting those nicer European sleeper cars the ones they get look so institutional

reply

The state of that Amtrak Train 1st Class Room was awful. They should be ashamed of themselves. Not even clean windows or a seat with a new cover. The different Shinkansen I travelled on in Japan in 2004 were light years ahead of this and the Trains in the UK.
reply

Hi Noel, you should try Vonlane for a luxury bus! It was so nice when I took it from Dallas to Austin. Much better than Red Coach (and better than driving yourself on 35 lol! They've got routes in the Texas triangle so you could def get one to/from Houston.
reply

Noel you really should avoid trains and busses. The only video you made yourself look like a bigger d head was when you bailed on that flight. I hope this doesn't show your real personality if it is I'd imagine being on a flight with you would be miserable.
reply

I was on sleeper trains in Vietnam and in second class and they were great. We didnt eat the food however they were clean and comfortable, and we all slept like a baby. Im not sure if i could do 2 nights in a row though. We did 3 seperate 13hr trips.
reply

Our first class sleeper compartment on Indian Railways was spotlessly clean. Your Amtrak is disgusting. That's a Health Inspector's wet dream. Revolting. for the undisclosed significant $$$. I hope you follow up with Amtrak's response please
