Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
United Airlines operates seven hub airports: Newark, Dulles, OHare, Houston, Denver, LAX, and SFO. In this video, I attempt to visit them allin ONE day! Were calling this Aviation Marathon, Hub Hopping! and it was one of the most epic and challenging travel days! With six connections, six airplanes and six crews, not to mention seven airports, plus who knows how many weather systems. A LOT could go wrong

This is a cool video. I can relate to your running through Denver story. I had to do the same thing in 2008. My plane arrived late and I only had 12 minutes before my next flight. I was one of the last few people to board that plane and I was on full sprint mode. Last year, I had two major delays in Denver. The plane had some type of back light issue and the flight out got delayed several hours. They never got it working, so we had to deplane and spend the night in a Denver hotel for about 3 hours. We flew out the next morning. During the return flight I had 3. 5 hours of delays in Denver again and got back home at almost 1 AM. I been to all these airports but LAX. Newark was a weird airport and I didn't like it, but I had no delay issues surprisingly. I liked O'Hare and Houston. I had a 1 hour delay in Houston because the plane that I was supposed to fly on got struck by lightning and they had to change planes. Denver's airport was not bad and had decent food choices, but I had too many issues with delays or extremely late arrivals to rate them better. I would say O'Hare is my favorite and Newark is my least favorite in terms of airport design. Denver's airport caused me the most issues.

I've been to only 3 of these hubs: IAD, IAH, and DEN. Of those three ive been in all had some sort of thing that made me not be able to explore the airport a lot. IAD is the one I've been able to explore a lot because that was usually my start and end airport and the busses from terminal to terminal is kinda cool. Seeing A380s and 747-8s up close is definitely real cool. IAH I got to walk around but a lot of things were closed cuz 2020 is cool. DEN I had time to explore but I explored a little bit to much because of my 3 hour layover I accidentally spent an hour of it in security lol. I was basically just going down every escalator in DEN and the look on the TSA agents face when he saw that my tickets have already been given the little marker check and I had to explain I did security in IAD but accidentally went through a wrong escalator. But also 2020 for DEN.

I also went hub hopping last week on United! I flew 5 flights through 4 UA hubs. My routing was MIA-EWR-SFO-LAX-ORD-MIA, all in 29 hours. I had 1: 20-1: 50 minute layovers in every city, except a 6 hr layover at LAX. Went to the In-n-Out for the first time! And thankfully, no flights were delayed significantly!

In this video, you might have missed Guam's airport which is also a United Hub, but the flight between SFO and GUM extends the hub hopping for more than 24 hours despite that Guam is just miles east of the Malay Archipelago, but unfortunately, SFO doesn't have a non-stop flight to GUM.

Hi Jeb. hopefully you or one of you followers can advise. I have an upcoming flight into IHA fro POS(Trinidad) at 5am arrival. I have a very long connection to AKL leaving at 8: 55pm.
Those who know Houston what would you do with that time? What should is see?

reply

Us: Will he do it?
Jeb, probably: What, like its hard?
Great job flying through all of our hubs, Jeb!
PS: Were adding seatback screens to all our narrowbody planes so next time you make this run, you wont even need to bring your iPad.

DIA even though it just up the road is just chaos all around. I love having an airport like it so close but I will pay the extra to fly in from Pueblo or Springs just to avoid the drive parking and security chaos that is DIA.

I have flight on next week with united airlines, the bag dimensions they mentioned was 158cm and my bags was 160cm, this leads to any problem with dimensions, will they concentrate on weight or dimensions plz reply

Nothing cool about sitting on a plane all those hours just to say you did this. I don't see the lore. Doing an island hopper from HNL to GUM is more impressive if you want to butt on seat for 20 hours.

Loved the video! Considering that my family flies to Denver all the time, it's really cool seeing you travel there as you haven't muched in the past.

IAH is one of the biggest airport United Airports having a bigger presence there so United Please this I am 11 years old and ride United

The interesting thing is that you are heading west which theoretically should be slower than heading west. That said it is a fun video to watch

Hey try JAX-ATL-DEN-SFO-HKG-SINGPR in one day. Then 3 days later to Diego Garcia. Your conus hub hopping is not impressive.
reply

I think youre probably make it, but theres a good chance the weather and other things could play a part in your arrival.

Chicago has two international airports, midway and O Hare. One of those airports is the main hub for United Airlines.
reply

Jeb, I am from Houston. I live about 30 minutes from IAH. United Airlines is one of my favorite airlines to fly.
reply

I haven't been to Houston or Newark, and my home airport is Chicago, which I love. My least favorite is Dulles.

United Airlines owns the sports arena where the Chicago bulls and Blackhawks play at the United center.
